Cupid winks

, Look at the horses there, drink the wine there. "

"Let us forget a hundred slaves, a hundred Greek merchant ships, let us lie on blankets for days in the stars! Let us forget all pain with love!"

Ares sighed: "Goddess of love, you are the cruelest god in the world."

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The stories of Guigantes and Lesbergs are all made up by me... But Ares does have a story about automatically laying down his weapons in front of a giant... Besides, it's really not a romantic story, not a romantic story, not a romantic story , It's a gay story about gays! !

2. Eros

Fear brought us to Abdera in a moment, and I had heard before that the four steeds of Ares could travel thousands of miles in the blink of an eye as they traveled to the Strife.It seems that the legends are not all credible.

A battle between slaveholders and slaves took place in the trading port south of the city, but it ended in victory for the slaveholders shortly before our arrival.I saw tall, strong, bare-chested, red-haired Thracians with beards busy at the port carrying goods, while on merchant ships, brown-haired Greeks in robes were shouting and waving leather whips directing them.Ares and I got off the horse, weaving through the busy crowd, I put on a cloak, in order to hide the wind and sand and my true face, Ares had no scruples and showed his true colors to others.Yes, the world loves to talk about war, but no one has ever made any statues for him.No one has seen his true face.And my face, everyone knows.

I found a small temple worshiping me in a bazaar near the port.The temple was only about the size of a treasury, but it was enough for me. The shape of the temple was simple and elegant, with two side walls sandwiched between two tall pear trees, and two white marble columns supported the top. The triangular temple roof is carved with some grain and flower reliefs.A pair of young men and women walked into the temple one after the other, and I couldn't help but followed.

It was cool and quiet in the temple. I saw my little statue standing in the center of the inner sanctum. It was taller than me, and even I had to look up at it.There is no flaw in its whole body, its skin is even fairer than mine, and its smiling face is even more innocent than mine.In front of it, I was a little sad.

Several bouquets of flowers are placed at the feet of the statue, and a crown of roses is crowned on the head of the statue.

Rose, the beautiful flower that was born in this world with me, is fragrant and charming, gorgeous and delicate, with deadly thorns.

I hid behind a stone pillar and peeked at the couple. The young girl knelt at the feet of the statue and began to cry.She kissed the statue's glowing instep, and my instep seemed to feel her hot face and hot tears, and I curled up my toes involuntarily.The young boy knelt beside her, holding her shoulders, and they looked more like they were supporting each other.The girl's blue hair fell down, and the boy was heartbroken.The girl sobbed and begged: "Aphrodite, please forgive me for calling you by your first name. Can you hear my longing? Can you hear my heart? Can you feel my pain? Please bless us, please take the suffering away from our love!!"

The boy also said: "Take the pain away from our love..."

Deeply touched, I walked out from behind the stone pillar and walked in front of the boy and girl.I bless them.

I said: "I bless you, lovers, I bless your love with joy and happiness."

The girl raised her face, stunned, and so did the boy. I took the girl's hand and kissed it.The girl screamed and fell backwards, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she asked me tremblingly, "You...is it you...is it you??"

I unbuttoned my cloak and looked at her with a smile. The girl screamed again and passed out. The boy quickly hugged her. I picked up a bouquet of peony flowers that were placed in front of the statue and lightly touched the girl's lips. After touching it, the girl came to life and hugged the boy tightly, her excitement was beyond words: "We are blessed by the God of Love!"

The boy also said: "We are blessed by the God of Love!"

The two cried bitterly, the girl took off the gold bracelet on her wrist, and the boy kissed my hand and left a machete as a thank you.They left holding hands.

After sending the lovers away, I searched for Ares' traces inside and out, and I wanted to tell him how much comfort my presence brought to the lovers, but before I could find him, the god of love came to Abdra The news of my death spread throughout the city, and I was cornered in the temple by men and women who came on pilgrimage.My temple was so small that I didn't even have an entourage of priests, so people had to call in the priestesses from the Temple of Apollo on the other side of the city to help. As soon as the priestesses arrived, they surrounded me and surrounded me. A white cloth door curtain was set up to block it.The priestesses were responsible for bringing the people who came to pray for blessings one by one. At first, I only saw some blue-haired young men and women with exquisite tattoos on their arms or calves, and some Greeks. Later I asked them, I Say, don't those Thracians who work on the docks believe in me?A priestess would say: "Most high and pure Venus, how can the lowly poor get a glimpse of your true face?"

I am furious, what an arrogant statement this is!I reprimanded: "Apollo's priestess! What right do you have to make any decision for me! Everyone is my child as long as there is love! What kind of poisonous woman would have the idea of ​​​​separating mother and child?!"

As a result, more believers poured into the temple.For a while, there was a lot of voices.People bring me flowers, their wine, their joy, their tears, their sweet stories, their tormented souls, love, add beauty to their lives, love , soothe their hearts, love, torment their souls, I kiss them all, I wish hopeless love a happy ending, I bless everyone, women who love men, men who love women, love A man in love with a man, a woman in love with a woman, an old man in love with a child, a man in love with someone else's wife, a man in a white dress.

If I hadn't been so tired that day, I think I would have met all the people who lined up at the temple for love.I told the priestesses, please come back tomorrow, the congregation, Venus needs some sleep.A generous trader invited me to his mansion as a guest, and the lord of Abdra invited me to rest in his castle. I refused all of them. I asked the priestesses to set up a tent outside the temple. Rest there.

Not long after I lay down on the bed, a figure flashed into the tent, I glanced at it in a daze, and said, "Is it the guard sent by the city lord? You also go back to rest, no one will want to kill Love God, unless he no longer wants to be loved, or love anyone, in this life..."

The figure said, "You blessed everyone."

I recognized the voice of Ares, propped up half of my body, rubbed my eyes, and asked, "Where did you go during the day?"

Ares said: "I was in the market, and I heard people say that Aphrodite came to Abdera, and everyone rushed to the temple in an instant."

I laughed, got up and found the wine and wine glasses prepared by the priests, poured two glasses of wine, I took a sip, the wine was mellow, I took another sip, and handed a glass to Ares.I said, "Yes, I blessed everyone."

Ares held the wine glass and didn't drink it. His voice was deep and he said, "You blessed the adulterer, the raper of women, and the harm of young children."

I cut my hair and said, "Everyone is equal before love."

Ares asked me, "Why did you show up?"

I said: "If there is the blessing of God of Love, what else can hinder two people who love each other? I believe that the first couple I blessed today will be happy forever."

Ares said: "Is that the young man and woman who followed them into the temple?" He looked at me, "Hasn't the news reached you? duel with her husband, and was killed by the woman's husband."

I said: "They have had love, what a beautiful thing that is, Ares, you don't understand, you should try to understand, otherwise you have missed what a beautiful thing!"

I went up to him, hugged him, kissed him on the cheek, and his body was stiff and uncooperative, just staring straight at me and saying, "Love is the weapon of the weak to defend themselves, and I am not weak, and I already have a hand arms."

I took his hands: "Love makes you stronger." I said, "I love you, I love you."

Ares said: "No, you don't love me, like you show up, you bless, just because you can, you can...you are the gesture of a conqueror."

My heart beat twice quickly, as if some mystery had been punctured, a feeling of embarrassment gripped my throat, and I fell silent.At first I did approach him with a conquering mentality, but that night, the night he fell asleep peacefully on my lap, that moment, I really fell in love with him.I was conquered by him.I must tell him!

So I said: "But you are the one who conquered me!"

Ares pushed me away: "Go and have fun somewhere else."

He walked out of the tent, and I ran after him. Outside the tent, the priestesses of the Temple of Apollo were digging pits for sacrifice. They all looked at him, and they looked at me.Ares stepped into the dark dread, which is like a black flame in the night.nobody
