[Greek Mythology] The Love of Persephone

At this moment, Persephone and Hermes are still fleeing.

"Hermes! Hermes!" The goddess of spring embraced her lover tightly in her arms, and she was in a panic, "I hear the sound of rolling ruts! There is a dull rumbling sound from my broken vines! Pluto, Is Hades the Hades about to catch up?"

"Don't be afraid, Persephone." The God of Liars hastened to comfort his lover, "That's the sound of the wind and the cracks in the ground, you must have heard it wrong. Don't be afraid, we'll go find the poplar now Tree, I'll keep you safe."

Tears welled up in Persephone's eyes: "Ah... but my mother..." She couldn't continue.

Hermes said softly: "Don't panic, Persephone." He said: "The goddess Demeter is the sister of Hades, the king of the underworld. Even if he is insane now, it is because of the effect of the golden lead arrow I don't know whether to love or hate you. He must not hurt the goddess of abundance."

Persephone was still just sobbing.

She knew that it would be very difficult for her lover to fly with her, so she also activated the insignificant divine power to lighten the burden for him.Hermes' golden boots with flying wings draw a bright arc in the darkness, and a pair of lovers fly along a secluded fork.

"That's right, Hermes." Persephone cried for a while, and realized that she was of no help to her mother, but only worried her lover, so she quietly wiped away her tears and asked another question , "I think of her because I was saved by that poplar tree. What about you? Why did you make this decision?"

Hermes smiled happily.

"I have to mention the bizarre experience this morning!" He said, "When I was hiding outside to watch you get married, a maid named Mingta walked past cursing. From her mouth, I heard something Very interesting words..."

Hermes didn't have time to finish explaining his experience.

For as soon as he broke off these words and flew up with his lover in his arms, a terrible flash struck where they had been, and smashed the stones of the ground to pieces.Persephone yelled sadly: "No! He's coming!"

"Give her to me!"

Pluto's gloomy and stern voice sounded behind them. The Lord of the Underworld was sitting in a carriage in a black robe, and four handsome black horses rode on the wind.The scepter in his hand was raised high: "This is the last time I warn you!"

"No!" Persephone sobbed, "Your Majesty! You should wake up! Hermes and I—"

Another more terrifying black light made her suddenly speechless.

Hermes suddenly turned around with his arms around her. He tried his best to protect his lover behind him, but he was hit in the abdomen by the black light. For a moment, the slightly childish young face of the Liar God was full of pain.

"Hermes!" Persephone shouted, "How are you? Hermes!" She wanted to reach out and mobilize the remaining divine power in her body to heal her lover, but Hermes pushed her away. .

"You go!" Hermes gritted his teeth, and the snake scepter once again blocked the violent attack of Hades for his lover, but this made his injury more serious, and Hermes had blood on his lips.

He saw the eyes of Hades looking at Persephone, tearing back and forth between fanatical infatuation and cold hatred, which almost made his blood go cold.

"Go!" Hermes yelled, pushing Persephone to the direction of the light with all his strength, "Go! Find the poplar tree! This is our last chance! Persephone Nirvana, I'll be fine, don't let me watch him hurt you! Go away! I'll stop him for you! Find Liu Ke, go away!"

Following the export of the name "Liu Ke", Pluto's movements seemed to lag for a moment.Hermes took the opportunity to flee in the direction that pushed his lover just now—that is the place with light, the border of the Elysee Palace, and the place where the poplar tree grows!

At this time, Pluto's expression had returned to clarity, and Shen Nu was about to catch up again.Just as Hermes said that he was going to die here, suddenly, a long green vine caught the black horse's hooves!

The black horse staggered, and Pluto on the carriage lost his aim all of a sudden.His expression became even more gloomy, but Hermes was overjoyed, and he shouted: "Persephone!"

The Goddess of Spring, who had just spent the last bit of divine power to conjure vines, took a deep look at her lover with tears in her eyes. Without hesitation, she turned her head and fled to the place where poplars grew in her memory—Hermes led her along a road she didn't know. It saved a lot of time, and the gleam on the edge of the Elysee Palace is already faintly visible!

Poplar!Poplar!

Behind her, Hermes was still trying his best to deal with Hades, scarred and exhausted.Fortunately, the god of liars is clever and cunning, and he always manages to save himself from adversity. After Persephone left, Pluto’s intense emotions seemed to have calmed down, and this is the biggest reason why Hermes was able to get a chance to breathe. .

While resisting and restraining Pluto, he moved closer to the poplar tree.

And at this moment, Persephone finally came under the poplar tree!

"Liu Ke!" She called the other party's name, and for some reason, her heart was full of trust and urgent hope, "Liu Ke! Please come out! Help us!" She shouted: "Liu Ke!"

Poplar trees are still so beautiful and tall, exuding a touch of aura and breath of life.Beneath her tree, Persephone felt that the powers that had been completely lost before were slowly being replenished.The body is so tired that she wants to sleep, and this is the best way to restore her divine power.But she knew she couldn't sleep at this moment.

"Liu Ke!" she shouted again, in a panic, "Please help us!"

Although, Persephone herself is not very clear about how the other party can help her.

She just has a firm instinct, a determined will.Moreover, she believed in Hermes!Even if the other party failed to finish the matter with her.

"Luke..." she shouted.

The branches and leaves of the poplar tree shook slightly, as if they had just woken up from a deep sleep.Faintly, Persephone heard a soft and sad sigh.

"Persephone?" the familiar female voice asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

"I..." Persephone was about to speak.

Suddenly, behind her came the sound of landslides and ground cracks!Persephone turned her head in a hurry, and just as she was about to call out her lover's name in grief, she saw the figure of Hermes rushing out of the misty smoke billowing from the rocks and rolling on the ground several times.Her lover struggled to get up, stumbled and ran towards her.

"Persephone..." Hermes called her name weakly.

"Hermes..." Persephone could not help but burst into tears.

But at this moment, behind them, the gunpowder smoke has slowly dispersed.The majestic and cold face of Hades, the king of Hades, appeared before their eyes.

In his hand he held the dreaded scepter.

The situation has reached a critical moment!

And at this moment, Poplar spoke faintly.

"Hades?" she said. "My love, what are you doing here?"
