Do not wake up the gods of the abyss [Greek mythology]

Of course, the two male gods did not harm the goddess of love and beauty in the end.At the time when the winter in Free? was at its coldest, Admetos finally managed to tame the ferocious? Lion.

There was light snow falling from the sky, but Admetos was wearing a thin and easy-to-move hunting suit. He pressed the lion's head and watched the beast retract its sharp claws and crawl under his body.After a struggle just now, his? chest cavity was still expanding violently, and his breathing was also very rapid. The exhaled white air scattered in the air, blurring his? face.

Yet Tartarus saw him smile.

When he was laughing, his chest vibrated more violently, and a little bit of blood leaked out of the torn wound.

pain.

He frowned slightly, but the corners of his mouth were always raised.

"He succeeded," said Apollo.

Tartarus looked at Admetos who was smiling happily, and corrected him earnestly: "No, he is still short of a bear."

Apollo raised his eyebrows: "He has already tamed the lion. It is not difficult for him to tame a bear."

Yes.

Tartarus agrees with Apollo's view.

He didn't understand what kind of emotion "love" was, which could make Admetos so desperate.But he thought, with the efforts of Admetus, it was only a matter of time before he got what he wanted.

"Go and catch the bear today," said Tartarus.

"Okay." Apollo had nothing to do, and even planned: "Catch two. One for Admetos, and the other for us to roast the bear's paw."

Tartarus couldn't help but brighten up when he had roasted bear paws: "Let's go now."

The two male gods walked out of the wooden house, only to see that the snow was falling even more heavily, as if torn clumps of cotton, and piled up on the withered yellow pasture.

Admetus's head and body were also covered with snow. He was busy, untying his? Chariot, and changing it to the newly tamed? Lion.He greeted the two male gods and said that he would put the horse in the pasture first.He decided to go to Iolcos overnight to meet his Alcetis.He couldn't wait to share his joy with her.To let her know that even if there are many obstacles between them, he will break them one by one.He wanted her to be his? wife, his? queen.

It was very cold, and Admetos was in a panic, and the heavy snow affected his travels.

But Admetus didn't think of these things, he just wanted to follow his own heart, and immediately, immediately, to meet his lover.

Admetus moved swiftly, got into the lion chariot, and set off hastily.The lion was as fast as a gust of wind, leaving a string of footprints in the snow, and soon disappeared in the place where the mountains meet.

Apollo withdrew his gaze and looked at Tartarus: "It's really a lucky thing to have the one you love by your side."

In this way, there is no need to cross mountains and rivers to quench the thirst of missing.

Accompanied every day, every day is happy.

"That's right." Tartarus looked at him and nodded seriously.

Apollo didn't have time to put away the softness in his eyes, and was stunned.His eyes flickered a few times, revealing a bit of joy.

His? Tal would go along with him...

Could it be that his Tal finally got the hang of it?

However, the God of the Abyss who doesn't understand emotions finally disappointed Apollo, and only heard him say: "This weather is the most suitable for eating barbecue. If Admetos and his princess are together, they can also roast and eat meat. You don't have to run around on the way to meet."

It can be said to be very pragmatic?.

Apollo sighed.How he wished that his Tarr could have a little bit of romance.Just a little bit, a little bit is enough.But Tartarus didn't think of that at all.

"Apollo?"

Tartarus did not understand why he sighed.

Apollo shook his head and said, "Let's go."

……

The next day, it was sunny after the snow, and the sky was blue for a long time.

Admetus came very early. He parked the lion carriage, and saw Apollo rushing towards a bear, and asked, "Today?"

The bear was unexpectedly obedient in front of the God of Light, but Admetos knew its fierce nature.However, he was not afraid at all, and said with firm eyes: "Let's start now."

Apollo nodded slightly, and handed over the field to Admetus.

That bear lost the God of Light? Its divine power was awe-inspiring, and it really revealed its true nature. It twisted its thick body and went straight to Admetus.

Admetos had experience fighting against the lions, and he was not in a hurry when facing the bears, and he didn't lose the wind.

Biting a piece of pastry, Tartarus frowned when he saw that Admetos was playing harder than usual, "He should be defending, he's too reckless."

"It's okay." Apollo said calmly, "I'm here? I'll keep him alive."

Tartarus disagreed: "Your divine power is not for him to squander?"

Apollo was stunned, and had the illusion of being protected, so he couldn't help but smile.

The nymphs in the valley don't understand how the God of Abyss pleases the God of Light.If you want to squander the divine power of the God of Light, the God of the Abyss should be No.1, right?Didn't the God of Light usually light a fire for him with divine power, help him barbecue, and even use it to dry the quilt in winter?

The more the Nymphs discussed it, the more they felt that it was subtle. It was all about the love and affection between the two male gods, so it was better to shut up.

On the other side, Admetos, who was fighting the bear, got a new injury.The long claw marks tore through his clothes, oozing a little scarlet blood.The smell of blood stimulated the bear, and the bear's attack became even crazier, which made Admetos a little overwhelmed.

Apollo asked him: "Do you want to stop?"

If Admetos felt that he couldn't stand it anymore, he could use his divine power to restrict the bear's movements.

But Admetus rejected him: "I can still hold on!"

He gritted his teeth, blocked the bear's blow with his spear, and continued to resist.

The nymph in the valley marveled at Admetos' bravery and determination, and was also moved by his love.

"It's amazing Admetos, facing an opponent with disparity in strength, he is not afraid at all!"

"How wonderful? Love makes him so desperate!"

"Presumably he met the princess at night and was encouraged by the princess. Otherwise, why would he be so motivated today?"

"God is above, may he get what he wants!"

The voices of the nymphs grew louder, and Tartarus frowned.

Apollo handed him a piece of pastry. Seeing that his brows were slightly wrinkled, he couldn't help pursing his lips, and cast a light glance towards the valley.

There was no emotion in his glance, but it was as real as it was stabbed by a sharp knife.The nymphs immediately fell silent and scattered like birds and beasts.

The surroundings became quiet, and Tartaros said abruptly, "It's not encouragement."

He was unusually sharp.

He didn't miss Admetos' eyes full of anticipation last night, but today he didn't see that anticipation in Admetos' eyes again.

Apollo also sensed that Admetus' mood was wrong, and he sighed: "I think, what you said is right?"

What happened last night?

What extinguished the passion in Admetos' eyes, but made him work harder?

Admetos finally called to stop. He lost all strength and sat down on the ground, panting heavily.Under the bear's attack, he had many blood marks on his face and body. When he was dodging, he rolled some hay on his body, and his clothes were messed up. He was in a state of embarrassment.At this time, no one could equate him with the noble and elegant king in the palace of Freedom City.

Only the melancholy in his eyes, as usual, was too thick to melt.

"I saw Alcestis last night, when the snow was falling at its heaviest."

What a romantic? Snow, knowing that he was going to meet his lover, he was busy serving as a foil for them.

Admetus seemed to have returned to the night before.It was snowing heavily, and he sat on a lion chariot and broke into the royal city of Iolcos.

All the roses that Alcestis had planted in the garden had all withered, but the heavy snow covered the withered rose branches, and it seemed that beautiful and bright snow roses bloomed overnight.

Admetus stood in the snow-covered garden and called Alcestis' name.

He didn't dare to shout too loudly, for fear of disturbing Alcestis.

He didn't dare to call out too softly, for fear that the sound of falling snow would overwhelm his call.

Just as he loves her, he is afraid of being too fanatical, but also afraid that she will not be able to detect it.

Fortunately, his? princess heard his? voice, got up and came to the window.

The light shone on Alcestis's beautiful face, she was like a delicate rose, quietly blooming in the snowy night, and also blooming in his heart.

Admetus typed the manuscript all the way, and he really saw Alcestis, but he didn't know where to start.

The driver? The lion couldn't stand the cold, so he took a few steps, which reminded him.His eyes lit up, and he remembered his reason for coming: "Alcestis, I have already tamed a lion. You wait for me, and I will tame a bear again. I will pull it with a lion and a bear. Che, marry you back to my country, and let you be the queen of Freedom City!"

The thick ?

Alcestis, however, rejected him.

The thorny princess replied: "Admetos, I will only marry freedom, not power, wealth, or other things that are important to my father? Chips. Even if you tame lions and bears, it is no big deal. You just fulfilled my father's request to choose a son-in-law, and I will not love you!"

"She said she would not love me," repeated Admetus.The wound on his body was aching, and his heart was throbbing even more.

Only then did Tartarus realize that "love" was not a matter of one person.

Only those who love each other can be sweet. If you wishful thinking, you can only taste bitter?

He pursed his lips, which was rare and generous, and handed Admetos a piece of pastry: "Since she doesn't love you, then don't love her either."

He spoke lightly, as if snowflakes bent the branches and fell to the ground.

Admetus smiled wryly, but did not speak.

Tartarus was puzzled and was still waiting for his response when he suddenly felt his head sink.

Apollo rubbed his "black hair", and said softly: "Tal, love is not as simple as you said. It's from the heart? I like it, and it's not so easy to give up."

Apollo replaced "love" with "like", and Tartarus suddenly understood: "Just like I like to eat barbecue, I won't change my taste easily."

Apollo laughed: "Yes, that's it."

It's also like he likes the god of the abyss, even if he doesn't understand, he will continue to persist.

Apollo's eyes seemed to have snowed. The snow floated softly without leaving any traces. When it fell to the ground, it accumulated a thick layer, which would not melt even in the sun.

Tartarus bumped into his deep eyes, his heart moved, and he felt that Apollo looked at him like a familiar look.

...It is very similar to the tender love that Admetus mentioned about Alcestis.
