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

The two male gods gave each other their hearts and got along more freely.

This was unexpected by Hermes.

It never occurred to him that Tartarus turned out to be an expert in love, and he played it really well!Even the god of love, Aphrodite, can't do this? Hanging the proud god of light, let him work harder to love himself, but he doesn't give the other party any response.

He deeply sympathized with Apollo, and when he turned his head to look, he saw his good brother with a smile in his eyes, enjoying it so much.

Forget it, looking at it like this, it should be hopeless!

Apollo couldn't hear Hermes' slander. Seeing that the conversation was delayed a lot, he looked at the sky again and said, "Tal, it's getting late. I'll go and prepare lunch for you first."

Even though he was still confiding his heart just now, it should be when the lovers most want to get tired of being together, but Apollo wanted to prepare lunch for Tartarus.

They are all gods, so what does it matter if they don’t eat lunch?

Hermes deeply felt that it was love that made Apollo hypocritical!

He tried his best not to show any emotion on his face, but Apollo's next sentence made him unable to hold back.

At the right time, Apollo flicked the grass clippings on his body, stood up calmly, and was about to go to the place where the prey was stored.After taking two steps, he suddenly turned his head.Hermes thought he finally remembered himself, cleared his throat, and was about to say that he had heard enough gossip and was ready to return to the God Realm.Unexpectedly, Apollo's eyes moved slightly, and he quickly locked on to Tartarus, and said frankly: "Tal, I prepared lunch for you to please you."

Tartarus was named and listened very carefully.

Apollo said softly with a voice that is most suitable for talking about love: "You like to enjoy food, and I like you who enjoy food."

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and the tip of his tongue spit out touching words, as if he was singing a beautiful song.

What was he teaching him? It was love.

Tartarus knew what Apollo meant, and that was exactly what he asked for.

Yet he seems to have gotten himself into trouble again.

...how should he respond?

Tartarus thought about it, and only thought of one sentence: "Thank you."

Hermes: "..."

I have said all the rude things, is it necessary to fake politeness at this time?

He really can't understand Tartarus' love rank!

Apollo, however, prefers the fake courtesy of the Abyss God, chuckled again, and replied, "You're welcome."

Hermes: "..."

Hermes' throat filled with that strange taste again, sweet and sour, astringent and itchy.

He can't sit still!

The envoy who always liked to join in the fun didn't say anything else? "Why don't you take me with you to enjoy the food?" He stood up abruptly and said dryly: "Apollo, my dear brother. I think you are having a good time here. Okay, then I don't have to worry about it. I'll see you again, bye."

No, it's best not to see each other until the two male gods change their attitude!

Hermes' attitude was extremely firm.

Apollo didn't want to stay, he didn't like having outsiders around when he was with Tartarus, but what Tartarus just said was too shocking, it attracted all his attention, and he couldn't care less. The existence of Hermes, and now Hermes took the initiative to bid farewell, just as he wanted.He stayed with Tartarus for a long time, and he didn't like to use the usual social expressions. He simply said "goodbye" and watched Hermes fly into the sky with his flying shoes.

On this day, the weather is clear and sunny, with white clouds rolling.The envoy flew extraordinarily fast, as if a monster was chasing him behind him.

Satisfied with his speed, Apollo saw him disappear at the end of the sky, and turned to cook the venison.

……

For a long time after that, Admetos couldn't figure out what caused the relationship between the two male gods to change suddenly during the short period of time when he was fighting the bear.If he could learn a little bit, perhaps his path of chasing love would not be so thorny!Thinking of Alcestis, the flaming rose that he couldn't touch and pick, and looking at the two male gods who got along well in front of him, Admetos felt even more uncomfortable.

The Myrons are very happy to see the changes of the two male gods.Especially Myron the Orion, seeing the undisguised intimacy of the two male gods, couldn't help but feel happy that their underground relationship has become public.

With Myron's active publicity, the rest of the people who knew them also accepted this matter well.Tartarus is obviously not yet enlightened, but he and Apollo have become a model lover in the hearts of everyone.

After all, Admetos, Myron and others don't often move in the mountains and pastures, and their feelings are far less profound than those of the nymphs in the mountains and deep valleys.

Nymphs can hardly bear the tiredness of the two male gods!

In the past, the two male gods hunted in silence for most of the time, only caring about hunting more prey to satisfy the appetite of the abyss god.

As for now-

Before hunting:

God of Light: "Tal, what do you want to eat?? I will satisfy you."

When hunting:

God of Light: "Tal, you don't have to be scruples. Hunting, getting something is one aspect, and having fun is another aspect. As long as you have fun, I will hunt another hare for you."

After the hunt:

God of Light: "Tal, leave the prey to me, let's chat. I like talking to you."

This is true when hunting, not to mention other times.Nymphs feel their scalps tightening just thinking about it!

After two months of such difficult days, the arrival of the East Wind God Oulos finally came.The earth was put on green clothes again, flowers of various colors adorned the earth, and people began to work hard again.

On a sunny day, Admetus finally achieved his goal.He successfully tamed the unruly bear and put the rein on the bear.

He turned the untamed beast into his mount just to give the freedom of marriage as a gift to his favorite princess.

That day, the sun was gentle but dazzling.Admetus raised his head and laughed, a smile that was completely different from his reserved image in the past, until the shattered sunlight pierced into his melancholy eyes, almost making him cry.

He has never had such an opportunity to be able to have his sweetheart logically.However, he finally chose to give up, just for the smile of Alcestis.

The infatuated Admetus set off.He set off for Iolcos in a chariot drawn by lions and bears, to visit the king who admired heroes, and to negotiate with him, asking him to give back to Alcestis the opportunity to choose a spouse.

The nymphs offered their blessings to him one after another, wishing the god of love to take pity on him, so that his love could finally blossom and bear fruit.

But Tartarus was puzzled: "Do you need the power of gods to fall in love?"

Apollo was playing the harp among the flowers. Hearing this, he explained his doubts: "Rather than relying on the gods, it is better to say that you are pinning your good expectations on the gods."

"Expectations should be realized by oneself." Tartarus said with some stubbornness.

Apollo loves his serious appearance the most, and said with a smile: "Tal, are you teaching me to take action and pursue you hard?"

It is rare for the elegant and dignified God of Light to have a bad intention, teasing the God of Abyss with words.Unexpectedly, Tartarus didn't understand his implication at all, and said on the matter: "I don't think you love me very seriously."

His tone was flat, not like a complaint, but just stating a fact in his eyes.

After listening to Tartarus' speech, Apollo did not complain for himself, but asked him, "What do you say?"

Tartarus explained: "These things you have done recently? You have been doing them all the time."

"That's right." The sun jumped in Apollo's green eyes, like sparkling waves, reflecting the God of Abyss: "Because, I have been chasing you for a long time."

Tartarus suddenly realized, thinking about Admetus's difficulty in pursuing Alcestis, and then looking at the handsome God of Light in front of him, he said with a serious expression: "Thanks for your hard work."

Apollo couldn't help laughing: "It's not hard, I like to pursue you."

The Nymphs were so sweet with the conversation between the two male gods. I really don’t understand that these two have become so tired, why are they still talking? Pursuit or not, is this a matter of pursuit?The Nymphs were so anxious, they could not wait to force their heads down.

In the cold spring breeze, swallows passed by gently, bringing back good news: Alcestis, the princess of the neighboring country, was moved by the infatuation of King Admetus. It was delivered to Admetus again.She loves freedom and falls in love with this man who is willing to give him freedom.His heart was pounding, just when he resolutely held up a piece of blue sky for her.

The nymphs were overjoyed.Tartarus also carefully studied this case of successful love, and asked Apollo: "Why? The princess fell in love with Admetus suddenly? She rejected him clearly."

But Apollo shook his head and said, "It wasn't sudden. Admetus' contribution was not in one day or two, but in ordinary bits and pieces. Alcestis may not be sensitive, but he must have been touched. Those The emotions accumulated, and when she watched Admetus understand her, tolerate her, and take action for her freedom, it really blossomed."

Tartarus seemed to understand half-understood, he was concerned: "Emotions will bloom?"

Apollo deeply felt that he should not explain to Tartarus in literary language, which would only confuse Tartarus.He changed to the simplest and most plain words: "Heartbeat. Alcestis was moved by the love of Admetus."

Tartarus continued to ask: "What is a heartbeat? A feeling? A feeling?"

He seemed so thirsty for knowledge that Apollo couldn't refuse.

Apollo tried to describe to him how he felt when he fell in love, but the words were too elegant for Tartarus to understand.

Helpless, the God of Light can only change another way: "The feeling of heartbeat? The feeling is that when you see someone you like and get in touch with someone you like, your heartbeat will speed up."

Tartarus listened to the lesson carefully, and then looked at himself. He felt that what Admetus did to Alcestis, Apollo did to him.The theoretical knowledge has been learned, and there is still a practical assignment.Hearing what Apollo said, he thought it was quite easy to operate.He grabbed Apollo's hand and pressed it against his chest, tried his best to beat his heart a few times, and asked, "Is my heart beating faster?"

Tartarus' fingertips were slightly cold, scratching Apollo's wrist, itching like an electric shock.When Apollo came back to his senses, he felt that the heart of the Abyss God was responding enthusiastically to him, thumping, like a bird kicking on a drum.Looking at Tartarus' icy face again, Apollo couldn't help but look surprised.

There is no doubt that Tartarus' heartbeat is more honest and reliable than his facial expression.

——When he touched him, his heart beat so fast.Obviously, fell in love with him.
