She received the gift of God [Greek mythology]

The golden arrows shot by Eros ignite the fire of love, and the heavy lead arrows can weave all tenderness into hatred.He is fond of mischief, haunted and haunted, and treats gods, demigods, nymphs, and humans equally.

Hermes has witnessed many farces caused by the arrow of Eros, but he never imagined that he would become the target of the arrow.

He recalled that at the top of Olympus, when he walked in front of Pandora, all his fast-running thoughts were suddenly wiped blank.It was also from that moment on that he behaved differently and made choices one after another that he couldn't understand.

If Eros was at fault, then everything would make sense.

Hermes breathed a sigh of relief.It wasn't that there was something wrong with him that he would be moved for no reason, but that the golden arrow of love was at work.

"Can I ask why you are making fun of me?" Hermes looked helpless, "I think I have a good relationship with you."

"Does a prank need a reason? -- I usually answer this way, but this time is different." Eros suddenly put on a serious face, his tone implied displeasure, "Before you laughed at Apollo for being fooled by love all day long, claiming that Because you are a master of deception, only you can fool others, love can never go to your head."

Venus snorted: "What arrogance! Hermes, the son of Zeus and Maia, I really don't dislike you. You can even say that you are a pleasant companion to many of my harmless little tricks. But I am It's the god of love, even if it's you who said such disrespectful words, I must maintain my dignity and let you suffer."

"I said something like that?" Hermes blinked in astonishment, and began to play dumb.

He actually remembered it.

He did say that.

In the face of Apollo, the half-brother, Hermes' words and deeds are always involuntarily a little out of line, and he can't help but tease the other party, looking for opportunities to poke the weakness of the great god of prophecy, ruling, state building and art .The trouble is nothing more than a bit of innate competitiveness.Unfortunately, Eros overheard.

But in short, deny it first.

"I know very well that you have a strong bow and arrow in your hand, how could you say that kind of thing?"

Eros raised her beautiful eyebrows upon hearing this.

Hermes immediately gave up his plan to continue cheating.

Although Eros looks like a beautiful boy, he is actually a god older than Zeus.When he and Aphrodite were born in the foam on the top of the waves, the world still belonged to the Titans, and Zeus, the current king of gods, had not yet been born.If Eros is really angry, the situation will become very difficult.

"Eros, I apologize for offending your dignity as a god of love. I shouldn't have said that." Hermes readily bowed his head and admitted his mistake, "Please forgive me."

The unhappiness on Eros' face disappeared without a trace, and he nodded with a smile: "Well, it's good to know that you are wrong."

"So..." Hermes tentatively asked.

"so?"

"Can you please take back this golden arrow on my body?"

Eros froze for a moment, then chuckled and said, "I never take back the arrows I shoot, whether it's love or hate."

"Then please shoot me another lead arrow that turns my mind into iron stone."

Venus sighed long and hard: "I'm starting to regret it a bit, why didn't I shoot an arrow at you until now."

Seeing that Eros's attitude showed no sign of loosening, Hermes turned to reason: "You also know that she is a gift from Zeus to the world. I cannot love her."

"Why not?" Eros curled his lips and stroked his eyes with his finger, "I'm blind."

Hermes, known for his eloquence, choked for a while before saying, "She must go to the mortal world."

"That is why you brought her to Ilythion, did you not?"

Hermes was silent.

Eros chuckled viciously: "Just pretend that you didn't find the golden arrow in your body right away, but you still instinctively chose the most suitable cheating method immediately. As expected of you, Hermes."

Saying so, Venus looked down.

Spring-like moonlight fell on Fuleyuan.After nightfall, this peaceful land fell into a deathly silence and long sleep. Not a single person could be seen, and the birds, insects and animals that ran around during the day did not know where to go.It was so quiet that the woods only dared to speak softly when the night wind passed by.Only when you fly to a high place at night can you really feel why this place is special.

Elysium was Elythion outside of time.

Because of stillness, there will be eternal supreme happiness.

"No matter how many times you have witnessed the sun rise and moon set here, when you leave, the time outside will barely move forward. In other words, here, even if you fall in love with the gifts of the gods, it doesn't matter how long you have been in love It doesn't matter. Because as long as you step out of the Blessed Land, it will become a dream that never existed."

Eros's tone is very gentle, but it seems extremely ruthless: "Love is cruel and brutal, and I enjoy it. But whether it is the golden arrow of love or the lead arrow of hatred, the wounds they leave may heal. Warm Those who are in love will get bored, and those who hate their spouse will rekindle their old feelings."

The youthful Cupid had eyes like ancient wells. He looked at Hermes and stated calmly, "Besides, existences like you and I that are not corroded by death are not very good at having a soft spot."

After pausing maliciously for half a beat, he asked back, "Or, do you want to possess her forever?"

"How is it possible." Hermes lowered his eyes, and his eyes lingered on the hut on the hill for a moment, "You are right, the most important thing I need here is time. Don't do it, and wait for the flame ignited by the golden arrow to extinguish itself."

Eros frowned angrily.

What stubborn arrogance!or……

"You are afraid, Hermes. My power frightens you."

The envoy who showed a friendly smile to everyone was expressionless, and he refused to answer, his emerald green eyes looked cold under the moonlight.

"If you are so confident in yourself, why don't I shoot another arrow at the sleeping beauty now." Saying this, Eros drew out a silver-gray lead arrow, "You won't love her anyway, if she loves It would be troublesome to fall in love with you, so why don't you let her resist you so as to avoid future troubles."

Hermes immediately raised his hand, as if to stop Eros from drawing the bow.

Eros grinned triumphantly.

Hermes froze for a moment.It is the body that takes care of itself automatically.He let his arms fall back to his sides.

"Ah. For the sake of our past friendship, let's forget it." Eros put away his bow and arrow, "I forgive your arrogance, after all, you love freedom. But Hermes, my little friend, you just want to worry and struggle Well, there must be a first time for everything. After everything is over, don’t forget to share with me the sweetness and heartbreak of your dream.”

Before Hermes could answer, Venus stretched his wings, passed through the doorway with ripples in the sky, and disappeared lightly among the stars in the night sky.

Hermes lingered in the night sky for a long time before finally landing slowly in the courtyard surrounded by olive trees.He walked into the hut on the shining fine sand without making a sound.

Pandora was still sleeping, bathed defenselessly in the moonlight pouring from the window.

He walked to the bedside and stared at Pandora carefully, trying to find a few flaws in her body, used to overcome Eros' arrow wound, to prove that he would not be blinded by mere love.

But there is no part of the body and appearance that the craftsman personally molded that is inappropriate.Even with Pandora's eyes closed, the radiance that the beauty god added to her honey-colored hair and soft skin still swayed the heartstrings.

Like being pulled by an invisible thread, Hermes gently touched her lips with his fingertips.

The regular breathing in his sleep fell on his fingertips, as warm as his lips.

These are his blessed lips, which can spit out the most beautiful and reasonable words.However, Pandora is not very talkative.Words may be superfluous to her, because her silence is also beautiful and awe-inspiring.

But she had called his name.Of all the gods of Olympus, she had only spoken his name since she was endowed with intellect.

A very boring trifle, but Hermes trembled a little.

It was this trembling that brought him back to his senses suddenly.Before he knew it, he had already bent down, only a short distance away from touching Pandora's lips.He could see the fine down on her cheeks.She glowed in his eyes.He couldn't tell whether it was an annoying illusion created by Eros or Moonlight's superfluous actions.

Hermes straightened up immediately, and looked behind him suspiciously, to beware of prying eyes.Even though he knew that on the entire hill, there were no creatures or gods except him and Pandora.

A sigh.

It was actually his voice.Hermes sighed infrequently.He hooked the ends of Pandora's curly hair with his fingertips, restrained the urge to get close to the tip of his nose, and immediately let go.Then he wanted to sigh again.

There is nothing wrong with simply falling into unfamiliar waters like this.Anyway, it's Eros' trick.He didn't need to compete with Cupid in the first place.Even Zeus could not escape the influence of the golden arrow, why did he resist so hard?

Hermes shuddered.so close.

He still finds it hard to accept that he was plotted against, played around by a golden arrow, and his words, deeds and way of thinking are gradually derailed.The dignity of Eros as a god of love requires all living beings to surrender to love, so the dignity of Hermes as an envoy of God is to refuse to bow his head.He will only obey the orders of his father, Zeus, and is a passerby and spectator who comes and goes like a fly. As for love and even fate, nothing should hold him back.

Recalcitrant to the end would probably make Eros angry.But Hermes wasn't about to surrender just yet.

Hermes was immersed in his thoughts just now, only now did he realize that Pandora's breathing became short of breath.She is trapped by nightmares.Her eyes were closed, her brows were furrowed, and she curled up inward, as if she was hiding from something.

Without thinking, Hermes grabbed the staff of two snakes and nodded towards Pandora.

She woke up with a gasp.Out of the corner of her eye, Hermes was caught, like a chick returning to its nest, and she immediately leaned towards him for support.

Hermes had no intention of surrendering to Eros' mischief.

But he still allowed Pandora to slip into his arms.
