[Greek Mythology] Picking up a little moon

so bright.too bright.

Aponis felt that the excessively bright silver light made her sleep very uncomfortable.She wanted to open her eyes, but found that she couldn't control her body.

It was like a dream—Aponis found that she could move suddenly.She found herself in a strange place.There is a very beautiful scenery here, like a surprisingly beautiful garden; but out of this garden, there is a hungry land all around, and there is only endless darkness and decay.

"Aponis, Aponis..." someone called her.But Aponis looked around, but did not see the person calling her.

"Aponis, I must find you..." The man was still calling, but Aponis didn't know who it was.

She looked around, but couldn't see anything clearly.Everything seemed to be shrouded in mist, and she was in the center of this mist, unable to know the surrounding environment.

She suddenly found that there was a familiar figure in front of her.Aponis approached, but was stunned when she saw the figure's appearance.

It was a tall and thin male god.He has long black hair, wears a black robe, and exudes an extremely powerful force around him, enveloping him in the very center—but something seems to blur Aponis's vision, and she can't see clearly he.

The man turned around.Startled, Aponis tried to run away—but was taken aback by his face and stood there, motionless.

How can this be?How could he become like this?that is not……!

"...Your Highness! Your Highness Aponis!"

"His Royal Highness Aponis!"

Amidst a series of shouts, Aponis finally opened her eyes with difficulty.She squinted her eyes for a while before she came back to her senses and saw the scene in front of her clearly.

This is her temple.In front of her now, except for a girl who was obviously her priestess by the clothes, she knew the other two goddesses.

They are Daphne and Clytie.

"Your Highness, Aponis, you have finally woken up." Clytie's long light golden hair caught Aponis's eyes, and seemed to be even more dazzling because of her awakening.The Goddess's weeping expression looked so pitiful, which made Aponis, who had always shown pity for Goddesses and fairies, very distressed.

"I'm fine, don't cry, Clytie." Aponis reached out to wipe the tears on her face, "Look, I'm fine now."

Aponis knew Clytie's love for her, and she still remembered what she did to her back then.If it was before, she probably wouldn't forgive Clytie, and would even stop allowing her to get close to her, but... Now that she can enter her own temple, it proves that she will no longer do anything to hurt her .

During the time when Aponis "died", according to their agreement, the temple of Aponis was jointly managed by her closest gods—that is, Artis and Leto.Because Leto is her biological mother, and Artis has an unusual relationship with her, and they are both gods of light, so under the authorization of Aponis, Artis is the only one who has the right to manage it besides her and Leto. God of her temple.

And Daphne—at the beginning, this goddess who always had a disgusted expression on Aponis showed a very happy look, and it seemed that she was also very happy with Aponis's awakening.

But when Aponis turned her gaze back to her face, Daphne regained that complicated expression - but Aponis didn't care too much about her, and she saw Daphne's expression was as if she had discovered a new continent, she blushed and turned away after staring at Daphne.

"His Royal Highness Aponis!" Clytie called out to her dissatisfiedly because Aponis had been staring at Daphne.The Sun Goddess turned her head, seeing the angry but very cute expression of the little goddess, she couldn't help laughing.

Aponis' laughter annoyed Clytie for a second.The little sunflower goddess mistakenly thought that her goddess was laughing at herself, turned around and left angrily.Aponis had just woken up, and her body hadn't fully recovered, so when she wanted to reach out to grab Clytie's clothes, she tilted her body, as if she was about to fall down at any time.

At this time, Daphne, who was standing behind Aponis and who was about to leave, happened to see this scene, and was so frightened that she hurried over to help Aponis who seemed about to fall.The blond-haired, blue-eyed goddess turned her head and gave Daphne a smirk.Daphne, who had always been expressionless in the face of Aponis, pouted her lips in disgust when she saw her like this, but still helped her to lie back down.

It seemed that just to let Aponis rest well, Daphne and Clytie surrounded her all day long, and they didn't even leave the temple.And Cassandra, the priestess of Aponis, has been accompanying her all the time and has never been far away.

"I'm fine, you go to rest." At night, seeing that the three of them still hadn't left to rest, Aponis said, "Especially you, Clytie—I heard that your husband is in God's office. Waiting for you outside the temple?"

"Husband?" Daphne and Cassandra were stunned, "That man is your...?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide anything from Aponis, Clytie, whose face turned red, opened his mouth and told them about himself.

Clytie and Neptune's son Orion fell in love.Once, when Clytie fell into the sea accidentally, that heroic and extraordinary man happened to see her and saved her. The two fell in love at first sight, and they fell in love like this.

It's no secret that Clytie is obsessed with the sun god, so Orion didn't mind it at all, but supported her "hobby" very much.Because in his opinion, Clytie's fascination with Aponis is like chasing his own dream, and he thinks there is no reason not to support it--Aponis is so radiant, I believe that no matter who You will be attracted by such light and beauty, right?

And Orion's impression of Aponis and Artis... is really good.So there is really no psychological pressure on the matter of robbing his girlfriend with the Sun Goddess, and instead accompanied her to guard the temple.It's just a pity that, as the son of the Sea Emperor, he is not a subordinate god of Aponis, so it is impossible for him to enter the temple of Aponis without permission.

And the fact that he was outside the temple, as well as everything that happened in the temple, were clearly seen by a pair of eyes on the top of the temple.

Artis with black hair and black clothes was staying there, greedily staring at Aponis's face.

Aponis is back... his Aponis.

Artis looked at the man in the temple, feeling a little depressed, but he didn't dare to appear in front of her again.

Because he has changed.She is still the goddess of light with blond hair and blue eyes, and he is no longer the original god of light.

He looked at the perfect body in a daze, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Why is she resurrected?Why is she not dead?Why...she looks the same as before?Could it be that she planned all of this?Could it be that her deep sleep, her death, and her resurrection were all calculated by herself bit by bit?

Look at him again... Artis suddenly felt that he was a joke.

Because of the sudden death of Aponis in front of him, Artis was greatly stimulated.At that moment, his god, and Aponis—Roxina is a human being, but he claimed to be the guardian of Roxina, but he just let her die in front of him, which made Altis fall into an instant A state of extreme self-blame.

After human beings die, of course they will go to Hades.Artis ran to Hades without hesitation at that time, but met Hecate again.Although Hecate told him about Aponis' plan, she didn't tell him about Aponis' whereabouts.

Aponis is dead.died in front of him.And when he entered Hades, he was obstructed by Cerberus, and Hecate never mentioned the location of Aponis—this made Artis feel that Aponis could not be in other places unless he was in Hades. up.

He had to find Aponis anyway before making Zeus pay.

But because he is the god of light, his entry into the underworld will inevitably cause riots, and he has no other way - thinking of Hecate's privilege of entering and leaving the underworld at any time, and thinking of her who is much higher than himself Magical ability, Artis felt that he could do the same.

But magic must love darkness.And Hecate, although she is also a moon god, but her goddess of the dark moon—such a dim moon is the favorite of the underworld.

And when Artis discovered this, he abandoned his Godhead of the God of Light without hesitation, and worked hard to improve his magic——

Just to find her.

But now, he is no longer the God of Light.Now he has become the God of Magic, Destruction, Disaster and Plague—although he still has black hair, but his silver moon-shaped bow, which is melted by moonlight, has turned black.

However, after he made a big fuss in the underworld, had a big fight with the gods in the underworld, and finally was absolutely suppressed by the strength comparable to the god king when he was fighting Hades, the king of the underworld, he was caught—— —The news from Hades is that Aponis is not in Hades.

Then it occurred to him to go back to the temple of Aponis—and sure enough, Aponis was already there.

She was still so pure, beautiful, bright and upright, but he had been infected by magic, becoming dark and evil—Artis felt that he was no longer worthy to stand by her side.

He is not qualified to be with her anymore.

After staring at Aponis for a while, Artis turned and left the temple of Aponis after seeing that the figure could stand up and even use his divine power normally.

He and Aponis will become what they are, and he will become what he is, and it's all Zeus' fault!

If it wasn't for Zeus to trouble Aponis, if it wasn't for Aponis being turned into a human by him, if it wasn't for the human Aponis dying in front of him, how could he become what he is now!

He must make Zeus pay the price!

And in the temple, when Artis left, Aponis seemed to have noticed something.As soon as she looked up, Aponis happened to see a familiar light spot flying into the distance.

She frowned.

Daphne also noticed the light spot.She glanced at it, a little puzzled: "That's..."

Is that Al?Why did she feel that something was different?

"What's the matter?" Aponis asked hastily.

"That's His Royal Highness Artis," Daphne frowned, "but, he's different..."

Although the feelings towards Aponis are still complicated, since Daphne will be here to accompany Aponis, it proves that she is trustworthy.And Daphne herself is a fan of Artis, and she is also worried about Artis, so when Aponis asked, Daphne said everything without hesitation.

Including Altis breaking into the underworld in order to find her, abandoning the godhead, just to get her back.

And Aponis can probably guess his current state of mind.He felt that he had grown dark, that he could no longer stand by her side - and he seemed to think that it was all Zeus' fault?

...So now, is Artis going to fight Zeus one-on-one?

No!She must stop Altis!

Not to mention that Zeus is her father god, but to say that Zeus' identity and godhood as a god-king are the absolute suppression of Altis.

For Al, for herself, for Leto, and for the God Realm—she must stop him!
