The emperor of the sea broke up every day [Greek mythology]

When the two male gods left the mysterious island, Poseidon changed back into the form of the little black fish.

Amphitrite promised not to ask him about concealing his identity, so he didn't say anything, but Poseidon's behavior sent him a message: he would become a little black fish, not just to get close to him.

——If Dong changed for him, and he discovered it at this time, he could take advantage of the trend and face him with his true face from now on.But when he left the island, he had to turn into a little black fish, which only showed that outside the island, in the ocean, there were still people whom he was afraid of, whose true identities could not be discovered.

Thinking about the joint here, Amphitrite couldn't help feeling a little regretful, maybe he shouldn't promise not to ask.

He wasn't too curious about Poseidon's purpose.He is willing to believe his explanation, and believes that he has no bad intentions, because his eyes cannot be faked, and his enthusiasm is not faked. Besides, the reason why he exposes his human form is also because he is worried about his safety and for the purpose of protecting him.

What Amphitrite regretted was that he couldn't be sure if the danger from the outside world could be dealt with by this little black fish if he didn't ask.

He didn't know what made Dong hide like this, but seeing his cautious appearance (Amphitrite's illusion), Amphitrite suddenly felt a sense of sympathy.

——Hasn't his life also been messed up by the absurd fate known in advance?

The father, the mother, and the gods often have sad faces, and all the 49 sisters are soldiers. Before the dear sister Thetis persuades the relatives, he can't even move freely in the deep sea.

All for that prophecy.

—Poseidon will snatch him and make him his queen.

When he was young and had no discernment ability, he also blamed God the Father and hated the result of this prophecy.Later it was Thetis who gently stroked his hair and told him: "Father God's foreknowledge is a blessing, Ann. He prophesied to you, hoping that you will have a smooth life in the future. Now that we have discovered something that is not satisfactory, then Just try to come up with a solution to the problem and make preparations early, isn't that a good thing?"

Amphitrite was enlightened. He spent more time tempering his will and improving his divine power than other gods, and only then did he have the indifference and courage he is today.

All this was brought to him by Thetis.

Amphitrite thought of Thetis full of wisdom, and a warm light flashed in his cold gray-blue eyes.

He has Thetis, so what about Winter?Is there anyone who can guide him?

Amphitrite thought about it, and began to worry about her rare friend again.

He thought, according to Dong's personality, if there is really a problem that cannot be solved, he should come to him, right?

Should be?

Poseidon poked his head out of the water and shouted at him, "Ann, let's go!"

Amphitrite came back to her senses, waded into the water, and held the little black fish in her palm.

Poseidon had gotten used to the warmth of his palm, and twisted his tail to adjust the position, making himself lie down more comfortably.

Suddenly, Amphitrite's voice rang above his head: "Dong, do you think we are friends?"

"Of course!" Poseidon didn't understand how he would suddenly ask him this question, but he didn't hesitate when he gave the answer.

Amphitrite frowned and looked at him: "Then I hope you promise me one thing—"

"Ok?"

Poseidon looked up at him, and this time he didn't see Amphitrite's eyes, only his tense jawline.

"I hope that if you really have difficulties and can't solve them, you can break our agreement and tell me the secret you can't tell."

"I will help you."

When he spoke, there was no cadence or emotion, but Poseidon was moved and guilty.

…Ann is a good god.He took care of his emotions, understood his difficulties, and didn't ask his identity, but he was worried about his safety and wanted to share it for him.

Poseidon deeply felt that being able to meet Ann in this different world was really the best gift God gave him.

And he... is hiding it from him.

Poseidon felt a little guilty, and buried his face in Amphitrite's palm, not daring to look at him again.

Amphitrite didn't wait for Poseidon's response. His eyelashes trembled, and he pulled Poseidon closer, and added in an unnatural way: "Of course, it's mutual. If there is something I need you , and I won’t be polite to you.”

Amphitrite's original intention was to let Poseidon relax, but his thoughtfulness made Poseidon even more guilty.

He said, "Ann, don't worry about my situation. I'm fine, thank you. You wait for me for a while, and when the time is right, I'll tell you everything."

It's not a perfunctory evasion, Poseidon really thought about the feasibility of confessing.

The An he knew was a man with wisdom and self-judgment. He believed that after getting along with him for a period of time, An would be able to understand his personality and not be fooled by Neptune's past and rumors from the outside world.

At that time, he will confess to him again, telling him that he has "reformed", presumably he will believe in the time they spent together, and believe in his "change".

Poseidon is very confident in himself, and also in Ann.

"Okay, then I'll wait."

The trusted Amphitrite replied to Poseidon in a solemn tone.They dive to the bottom, through the whirlpool, and back into the calm ocean.

The sea is the same as ever.Corals are shining, seaweeds are swaying in the water, fish schools are dancing, sharks are busy hunting...

They each had their own excitement, none of which had anything to do with him, and Amphitrite didn't mind either.Even more so now, because he also has friends, companions.

The little black fish nestled in his palm, and he held him, as if holding their precious friendship.

Along the way, Amphitrite held Poseidon and did not let go.Until Poseidon told him to stop, and said goodbye to him regretfully: "Ann, I will go the rest of the way by myself, and you should go home early."

If possible, Poseidon hoped that Amphitrite could send him another ride, so that they could spend more time together.

But he can't do it.

They are not far from Haihuang Palace now, if An swims further, his "secret" will not be kept.

Hearing this, Amphitrite didn't speak. He slowly let go of his palm and watched the little black fish swim out of his palm. The tail wrapped in gold thread hooked him, and he felt a little reluctant to part with it.

It was rare for Amphitrite to fight for herself: "Let me send you off again."

Before Poseidon could answer, his drooping eyelashes trembled, and he said again: "I don't have to send you back, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to carry the colorful pearl."

Poseidon noticed the trembling of Amphitrite's eyelashes, like a butterfly fluttering its wings on a rainy day.

He was a little dazed, and didn't realize it until Amphitrite spoke again: "No, I have..." He wanted to say that he had used divine power to open up the storage space, but when the words came to his lips, he stopped again .He remembered that Amphitrite still thought he was a sea monster. He could no longer expose himself, so he could only find another excuse: "There is storage space on both sides of my cheeks, so it is easy to hold a pearl."

He can't take off his vest now, he must set up the sea monster!

In this regard, Amphitrite was a little disappointed, but had no doubts.Sea monsters originally had various looks and abilities. An ordinary little black fish like Dong would not even think of sea monsters if he hadn't been able to spit out human words.

Thinking of this, Amphitrite suddenly realized: Shidong said that he was worried that he would scare him... Is it because his original form is not very good-looking?

Amphitrite used his imagination to fill in this loophole, and the reluctance in his heart suddenly decreased, and a feeling of pity also arose.

"Dong, you are fine."

Poseidon:? ? ?

If Poseidon hadn't slowly figured out Amphitrite's character and knew that he was actually very gentle, he might have thought he was speaking harshly.

But thanks to this "ruthless remark", Poseidon reacted by mistake: Amphitrite really wanted to send him home by beating so many words around the bush.

He quickly explained: "Ann, it's not that I don't want you to send me off. If possible, I would like to spend more time with you, but the place where I live is also a part of the secret..."

Amphitrite was taken aback, so Dong not only had to keep his appearance a secret, but also his residence?What kind of sea monster is he that lives so cautiously?

Poseidon still doesn't know how much information he has sold and how much sympathy he has earned.He explained a few sentences, and seeing that Amphitrite was still unmoved, he couldn't help being anxious.

"Ann, don't be angry! When the time is right, I will tell you all the secrets and take you to my house as a guest, even if you want to live in my house—"

Poseidon swam while talking, getting closer and closer until he was held by Amphitrite, stroking the top of his head with a clumsy hand.

"Well, I know you have a reason for hiding me, and I'm not angry with you."

"I think it's good for you to confess to me like this. I'm happy."

"Dong, you are fine, don't worry too much. You are fine, everyone will like you very much."

Poseidon was taken aback when he heard that, he didn't expect that Amphitrite, who never liked to express, would say these words to him.

This time, Amphitrite didn't dodge his gaze, and he was able to see Anphitrite's gray-blue eyes.He looked at him, his eyes focused.Bright stars flowed out from his eyes, illuminating his entire world.

Poseidon heard himself asking, "Including you?"

"Well, including me."

Amphitrite admitted.

However, the awkwardness in his nature refused to let him go, he paused, and added another word expressing weight: "Just, a little bit."

He likes him only a little bit.

Yes, it is like that.

……

The two male gods separated, and they agreed on the time and place to meet next time.

Poseidon was dazed by Amphitrite's nice words, and when he passed through the gods waiting outside the Palace of the Sea Emperor, his mood was bright and bright.

On the other side, Amphitrite also returned to his residence.Instead of living with his family, he lives alone in an underwater cave.

The cave was found for him by the swift-footed sea nymph Speyer. The nymph in charge of the cave in the sea had a little selfishness and specially let her brother live not far from her.She usually doesn't like to walk outside, but she often steps out of the cave for her younger brother. She is a good sister who loves her younger brother.

When Amphitrite returned home, she found Spee waiting in his cave again, bringing him her new cakes.

"Ann!" Seeing his younger brother coming back, Speyer hurried up to greet him and asked him where he had been, what he had done, and what new and interesting things he had done.

Amphitrite was not talkative since childhood, and his older sisters preferred to tease him and listen to his old-fashioned opinions.Speyer is one of them.Over the years, the more funny it got, the worse it became, and he developed his current character who doesn't like to talk about anything.

However, this time, Spey heard a few different words from Amphitrite.

"Make a friend."

"It's a sea monster."

"Character... very good."

"Well, it's easy to get along with."

Speyer seldom listened to Amphitrite sharing her life on her own initiative, and was very happy for him, and explained her reason for coming to him:

She had been away from the cave for the last few days at the request of Proto, who guarded the ship, to help escort a merchant ship bound for Athens.Unfortunately, the birthday of their mother god Doris is approaching, she asked a few sea monsters to help her find something, and it was agreed to deliver it to her house tomorrow afternoon, so she had to ask Amphitrite to wait at her house and collect it for her something.

Seeing that Amphitrite agreed, Speyer breathed a sigh of relief, and reminded him: "Don't tell them your name and identity."

An's existence is still a secret to most of the gods, and their family does not want him to be exposed to the sight of the sea gods too early.

Seeing Amphitrite nodded, Speyer confessed to him a few more words before leaving.If she hadn't taken advantage of Ploto, she would never have taken the initiative to go to sea, but she should be more active because of the shortage of manpower.

"Wait a minute, Speyer." Seeing that Speyer's elegant skirt was about to swing out of the door, Amphitrite suddenly stopped her.

Speyer looked back suspiciously, only to hear him say: "I have a question, and I want to hear your answer. If it wasn't for love, what else would make a sea monster ask another god for a diamond?" Light pearl?"

Fresh?

curious?

Or is it the need to increase strength?

The cloud of doubt in Amphitrite's heart couldn't be shaken off, and couldn't be dispelled.After he discovered that Dong was not a small sea monster, he could no longer answer this question with his youthful innocence.

However, Speyer's answer was simple and rude, and Amphitrite didn't allow Amphitrite to think about it: "Ah, how could there be a second answer to this question?"

"It's love, it must be love!"

Amphitrite froze.

... Is it love?

Dong approached him because he fell in love with him?
