Bacchus in Greek mythology

Pushing the door open, Artemis heard it even though it was a tiny sound. The senses of the gods are different from those of humans. They can easily know all the movements around them. They slowly sat next to the siren. The original voice Stopped, Siren wiped his eyes, and took a slow breath before turning over and sitting up.

Artemis looked at her silently, and sighed after a long time, "After crying today, don't cry anymore."

The siren looked at the bed sheet, silent for a while, then nodded heavily.Artemis stretched out his hand and said to her: "Give me the moonlight mirror. After one day, the reserves inside should have been exhausted."

After hearing this, the Siren began to untie the cloak tied to her body. Artemis helped her take off the cloak, and with a bang, a golden thing rolled out.

At first, she didn't see it clearly, but when she saw it, Artemis stood up abruptly, her beautiful eyes widened, she turned her head and looked at the siren in shock, "Is this a golden apple?!"

The siren still had a listless expression, and said without emotion, "Yes, Dionysus gave it to me."

Artemis quickly picked up the golden apple and looked at it carefully. The words engraved on it were still so clear. She sat down again and held the golden apple tightly in her hand, with an expression of disbelief.

The siren wondered why she suddenly got excited, put the cloak aside, she looked at the golden thing and said, "It's just a golden apple, why are you so excited?"

Artemis was still in a daze, but when he heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at the ecstasy in Siren's eyes. The Siren was taken aback, and Artemis' smile grew bigger and bigger, " Do you know what a golden apple does?"

The siren froze for a moment, and said what Dio had told her, "Let human beings live forever."

Artemis shook his head, "No, this is just one of them. If Zeus didn't want humans to live forever, it would be so easy to just cut down the golden apple tree, but he sent so many powerful gods to guard it because the tree couldn't Destroy it. The reason why it cannot be destroyed is because of its other magical function.”

The Siren was aroused by Artemis' curiosity, she took the golden apple from Artemis' hand, and asked in disbelief, "What else can it do?"

Artemis didn't answer her question, but said with emotion, "He really loves you, even Hera couldn't get the golden apple, but he gave it to you."

The siren lowered her head, and the corners of her lips were tightly pursed. She no longer wanted to refute those who didn't know the facts, she was too tired.

Hermes has told Artemis everything he knows, including what happened just now, she did not expect Dionysus to love Siren to this extent, even if she deceived him and used him, he still Gave the Siren what she needed most.Although the Sirens didn't know it, the gods on Mount Olympus knew what the golden apples meant.

Looking at the sirens, Artemis had a trace of pity in his eyes. Without these things, they would really be a perfect couple. However, time cannot be turned back, and what happened cannot be changed. Artemis puts away With these emotions, holding Siren's hand, the voice is brisk and filled with uncontrollable joy, "The other function is that it can restore the power of the gods to the peak period, Siren, you can grow divine wings !"

The siren raised her head in a daze, Artemis hugged her excitedly, and then let go, urging the siren, "Eat it, and you can return to your original form, eat it quickly!"

Compared to Artemis' joy, the siren has always been surprisingly quiet, just staring blankly at the golden apple in her hand, Artemis' smile gradually faded, she looked at the siren worriedly, "Why? gone?"

The Siren gently placed the golden apple in Artemis' hands, and forced a smile, "I'm tired, let's talk about these things tomorrow, I want to sleep."

As she spoke, she lay on her side on the bed, pulled the Daran velvet quilt, and left her back to Artemis.

Artemis froze, holding the golden apple, not knowing what to say.After a long time, the Siren finally heard the door knock. She pulled the quilt over her head and tightly clutched the quilt with both hands.

Hermes raised his voice because he was puzzled: "You mean, she doesn't want to eat the golden apple?"

Artemis nodded, and Hermes stood up immediately, ready to go to the siren.Artemis grabbed him, with a disapproving look on her face, "You know better than me what the Siren's character is, can you just force her? I don't understand why she doesn't want to, so I came to you, and She listens to you the most."

Hermes looked at Artemis, who was looking at him encouragingly, Hermes sat back to his original place, looked at the vast night, and his voice became helpless, "If she listens to me, she will I won’t come out in such an extreme way.”

Artemis frowned and walked to him, "It's useless to talk about the past, why don't you think about the current problem?"

For a long time, Artemis thought he would not answer, and then heard a sighing sentence, "I just hope it's not what I thought."

After saying that, Hermes stood up, looked down at Artemis, and said in an undeniable tone, "No matter what, let her eat the golden apple. I will talk to her tomorrow. You should go back first."

Artemis hesitated, but finally nodded. Hermes returned to his palace, and Artemis was still standing there.The moon in the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the earth became dark and foggy for a while.Artemis looked up, couldn't help sighing, and gradually disappeared into the night.

When passing the siren room, Artemis heard a depressing voice inside. She opened the door and found that the siren was in pain, her eyes were closed tightly, as if trapped in a dream, Artemis Si hurried over, and the moonlight was shining on her head, but the siren didn't seem to have any improvement, and repeated in a weak voice: "It hurts, it hurts..."

Artemis withdrew his hand, looked at her body, and asked softly, "Where does it hurt?"

The siren's expression became more and more painful, and a voice as small as a mosquito escaped from his mouth, "The wings... hurt..."

Artemis froze, and after a while, she slowly lifted the quilt for the Siren, and carefully tucked in the corners of the quilt. She straightened up, looked at the dark room, and supported her forehead in a depressed mood.

=====

Waking up early in the morning, the siren had just walked out of the door when she saw Artemis and Hermes standing together, looking at her together.

The siren was startled, then smiled at the two of them: "Good morning."

Hermes walked over and said directly, "You must eat the golden apple."

The siren froze and looked at Artemis, she also meant the same.The siren rolled his eyes, looked at the blue bricks under his feet and said, "It will take a few days."

Hermes took a deep breath, rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a haggard voice, "Why don't you want to eat?"

The siren didn't answer, and Hermes said again: "Isn't this your purpose? After suffering so much and suffering so much, don't you just want to recover your powers and go home? Why is success just around the corner? , but you don't want to?"

Siren's mouth moved, but he didn't know what to say.She didn't understand why she didn't want to, and there was always a trace of fear in her heart. If she recovered, it would be a complete break with the past. If she ate the golden apple, then the last thing Dio left her would be gone.

Seeing the siren's acquiescence, Hermes became more and more angry. He grabbed the siren's shoulder with a lot of strength, and the siren's expression immediately became painful. Artemis wanted to put the two of them together. After they separated, they suddenly heard Hermes roaring, "Can you be more mature! Can you stop being so selfish!"

Artemis was stunned, and the Siren also stared at Hermes in a daze.

"Your body and your life are all yours, and none of us can control them, but please think about us a little bit! You have been like this since the beginning, and you are still like this after more than 1000 years! You can join the war if you want, you want Desperate, desperate, now you don't want to recover, don't want to go home, want to continue to suffer, I really don't understand, can't you see us who are worried about you!"

Artemis' hand stayed in the air and slowly lowered it.What Hermes said is right, the Siren is too self-willed, irresponsible to herself and others, although she also thinks so, but she dare not say that to the Siren, she is afraid that the Siren will be sad.

Watching the siren's shocked eyes gradually turn into shame and sadness, Hermes began to regret his tone just now, his voice softened, and the words he said were even pleading, "Even if it's for your father, for Arte Mis, and Persephone and I, eat the golden apple, and return to your most beautiful and healthy form, and stop hurting."

"how do you know……"

Asked in surprise, as if thinking of something, the siren looked at Artemis, who was looking at her helplessly, the siren understood it, and could only slowly lower his head.

"I won't be willful anymore, and I won't make you feel sad," the siren raised his head and smiled pretending to be relaxed. "Actually, I'm also curious about what the golden apple tastes like."

Hermes was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, "It shouldn't taste bad, give it a try."

Back in the room, the siren was holding the golden apple in his hand, Artemis and Hermes were watching her with good eyes, the siren looked at the golden apple in his hand, then looked up at the two, and then smiled , slowly put the golden apple to his mouth.

The siren's movements stopped, and Hermes' heart sank, and then heard a crisp "click", the siren chewed unhurriedly, and the big mouthful just now filled her mouth, and it was finally done. Swallowing, Artemis looked at her nervously, afraid that something was wrong.

The siren ignored them and took another bite, looking at her as if she was eating an ordinary apple. Hermes held his breath, quietly waiting for what would happen next.

After the era of Uranus, the golden apple disappeared, and it did not reappear until the wedding of Zeus. The legend of the golden apple is still there, but the person who ate the golden apple has disappeared. As the first person to eat the crab, the Siren It doesn't look unusual at all.

It wasn't until the whole apple was eaten that the Siren wiped his lips before looking at Hermes, "It doesn't taste very good."

Hermes was so nervous that he almost failed when he heard this sentence. He looked up and down the siren, and then asked her, "Do you feel anything?"

Siren shook her head, she felt nothing.Artemis couldn't help frowning, how could it be useless, could the legend be false?

Just as she was guessing, the siren suddenly grabbed Hermes so hard that her nails were almost embedded in his arm, ignoring the pain, Hermes hugged her quickly, and the siren arched her body uncontrollably, watching It was very painful to go up.
