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

Dionysus poured a bottle of wine, and the sky was dyed the color of the setting sun.Even though the sun is everywhere, it cannot illuminate the eternal darkness of Erebus.

Apollo walked alone in the dark.There is only a little light in front of his eyes, flickering on and off, guiding him to walk through the silent Erebus.

No.

nowhere.

He couldn't find Erebus, and couldn't get any information from Tartarus.

Apollo's face tightened, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.He thought to himself, should he go directly to the abyss to see?See if Tartarus is back there.

But what if Tartarus didn't?

In vain he was called the most knowledgeable male god in the gods, but he couldn't figure out why Tartarus suddenly disappeared.What if he went to the abyss and found nothing, and then turned back to Erebus and delayed the rescue of Tartarus?

A fire was burning in Apollo's heart. He always acted decisively, but now he couldn't make a decision—he had to think carefully for Tartarus, and he only wanted his Tartar to be safe.

Apollo looked around, and there was no hope in the endless darkness.He pursed his lips, sat cross-legged, took out the golden-stringed harp, and played it lightly.

With the melodious music, Apollo sang praises to the great Erebus and Nyx, and asked to meet them.

Sing it again, and again?

Over and over again, the music became more and more urgent, and the singing became more and more hoarse, but there was still no response from the Lord of Erebus.

Primitive God? It was not so easy to see. Not everyone is like his Tal, who is full of curiosity about the world.The original gods who participated in the creation of the world at the beginning are now hidden from the world and no longer participate in the disputes of the gods. Even Zeus had to spend a lot of effort to ask the goddess of the earth Gaia for help.

Apollo was not discouraged, and continued to play and sing.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps added to the singing.Apollo was overjoyed, and subconsciously slowed down his voice, distracted? Listen, it's the footsteps of two people!

Apollo was overjoyed, and followed the prestige, and when he saw the person coming, his smile narrowed slightly—it was not the two primitive gods he asked to meet, but the sleeping god Xiupu who was attracted by his piano sound. Noth and his brother Thanatos, the god of death.

Not to mention the loss of Apollo, Thanatos is not in a good mood.With a stinking face, he strode towards the God of Light, and opened his mouth to scold this bastard who disturbed the peace of the underworld.

"Who is here--" the voice suddenly cut off, Thanatos took a closer look and was surprised: "God of Light?! Why are you here?"

Thanatos didn't know the rhythm, and only regarded Apollo's playing and singing as noise, but Hypnos got some information from his singing, and said kindly: "You are here to meet my father. God?" He and Thanatos are the children of Erebus and Nyx.

The greeting from Hypnos awakened Apollo. He rekindled the flame of hope, responded politely to the greetings of the two male gods, and then made a request to them, hoping to meet the God of Darkness.

When Hypnos heard the words, he expressed helplessness: "God of Light, you came at an unfortunate time. A while ago, Mother God? Heard about the God of the Abyss? Hearing about the deeds of the God of Abyss? He also wanted to go to the human world to have fun, so he invited Father God to left Erebus. Now, we don't know where the two of them are going."

Apollo was helpless, and it seemed that the road of Erebus would not work.He could only give up the aid of Erebus and go directly to the abyss.

Wish...

I hope Tal is okay.

Apollo's heart was always on his mind. He bid farewell to the two male gods, and hurried to the underworld.

The water of the River Styx rushed forward endlessly, and Charon, who punted the boat, stopped Apollo and asked him for the transition boat.

Apollo didn't hesitate to take off a piece of gold jewelry, handed it to Charon, and urged him to set sail quickly.

Charon paid enough for the boat and was very forthright. He propped up the rickety ferry and carried the God of Light across the River Styx.

Charon is easy to pass this level, as long as he gives money, he is willing to cross it no matter who it is.However, the three-headed dog guarding the gate of the underworld is not easy to fool.

Although Apollo came from the sacred mountain of Olympus, he was not summoned by Hades, and he did not have the priesthood to communicate with the underworld and the gods like Hermes, the envoy of God.The three-headed dog refused to let him go, but bared its sharp canine teeth and growled at him.

"Get out of the way." Apollo frowned, his voice cold.

The three-headed dog was still "deterring" him, and even put on a posture ready to attack.

Apollo's expression became colder, almost turning into frost and snow.

He's always been kind, but if the three-headed dog keeps him from seeing Tartarus, he doesn't mind letting it disappear from the world.

The three-headed dog keenly sensed the danger, shook its body, pretended to be fierce, and continued to confront Apollo.

Apollo didn't have time to spend time with it. As soon as he raised his hand, his sleeves fluttered, which shocked the three-headed dog.

But he saw a golden harp flung out from the sleeve of the God of Light. He fiddled with his fingertips, and bursts of music sounded, urging people to sleep.

The three-headed dog hadn't reacted yet, and listened in a daze, but within half a minute, it felt the call of the sleeping god and rushed to the pure white dream.

Apollo withdrew his hands and raised his eyebrows.He was too old to act impulsively. Compared with using force to control the three-headed dog, he would alarm many gods, and using music to trick him would undoubtedly achieve his goal faster.

The three-headed dog fell asleep with drooping eyelids.Apollo puts away his harp, and is about to jump over the sleeping three-headed dog and walk towards the endless land of death.Only a chuckle came from behind him: "Apollo, God of Light, you have tried your best to enter the underworld, what is your plan?"

There are also different levels of gods. Generally, the peers or juniors will use honorifics to the elders. For example, Thanatos and Hypnos will call him "you". Only the elders face the juniors, or the powerful gods? Ming will use "you" when facing a god who is not as good as himself.

Apollo's heart trembled, and he looked vigilantly, and saw a male god he had never met before.

That male god was extremely handsome and feminine, even more beautiful than the most beautiful Aphrodite in the God Realm.Especially those eyes full of charm, as if there is a whirlpool, which can take the soul away.

Such beauty is like a floating cloud in Apollo's eyes.He was unmoved, with a calm expression: "Dear unknown god, thank you for your attention, but I think I have the right not to answer."

He didn't know the identity of the visitor, so he was reserved when speaking, but his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, showing the demeanor of the twelve main gods of Olympus.

The male god with a feminine face cast a playful look at him: "Although you don't know me, I know you—it was you who touched the heartstrings of Tartarus and made him understand the taste of love... Now that I see you, I have no choice but to admit it, his vision is pretty good."

No one likes to be judged, and neither does Apollo.But he didn't show it. He only thought secretly in his heart, and Tartarus expressed his heart to him. How did this mysterious male god know so quickly?

Thinking of the way Tartarus smiled at him, his heart softened, and then more worries arose.

If he could, why would his Tal suddenly disappear without waiting for his response?It can be seen that at that time, he could not help himself.

Apollo's heart was turbulent, but this did not affect his judgment.After a little thought, he guessed the identity of the mysterious male god: "Dear God of Sex|Love, it's the first time we meet, please forgive my recklessness."

Eros' identity was exposed, and he smiled suddenly, his eyes sparkling: "You are really sharp. Don't be polite to me. If your words and actions are reckless, it will be difficult to find a person who understands etiquette in this world. God knows."

Apollo simply thanked him for his appreciation, and when he lowered his eyes, there was a hint of impatience and anxiety in his eyes.

Eros didn't seem to notice it, and said again: "Apollo, the God of Light, since you already know my identity, explain to me why you are here!"

Eros's tone could not be rejected, but Apollo resolutely rejected him, "I should really express my intention to visit Hades, but that should be in front of Hades, the lord of Hades. As for the god? Ming, forgive me for your request. satisfy."

In Apollo's view, Eros's reaction was really suspicious.The reason why he came to Erebus for help was because he learned from Tartarus' few words: Erebus is a relatively simple god? , will not harm him after knowing that he is in danger.

But what happened to Gaia also proved that Tartarus had discord with his brothers and sisters. Apollo couldn't be sure? Eros' attitude towards Tartarus, how dare he let him know the situation of Tartarus?

However, Eros's heart is like a mirror, he sneered and said: "You seem to want to hide it from me, but you may not know that there is a connection between our primitive gods - something happened to Gaia and Tartaros, we I can probably feel it. Didn’t you look for Erebus before? If you stayed in Free City, you might see him there.”

Apollo didn't expect the goddess of fate to play tricks on him like this, teaching him to fight with the dark god? Miss.But what Eros said reminded him: Eros had already noticed him when he was looking for Erebus!

Since Eros wanted to ask, Apollo no longer concealed it, and even tried to boldly get words out of the mouth of this primitive god.

"You are right. I came to look for the God of Darkness just to confirm the situation of God of Abyss. Do you know his current situation? Where is he now? Is he injured? Is the god? Stablize??"

Concerned about chaos, Apollo's series of questions made Eros laugh.He was born to be teasing, so he pretended to be mysterious and said: "You have so many questions, but I don't want to answer any of them, what do you think should I do?"

Apollo said without hesitation: "Just tell me what you need me to do. As long as you say it, as long as I can satisfy you."

"Cheer up!" Eros's tone was appreciative, but his bewitching golden eyes were full of malice: "I have a lead arrow, as long as you stick it in your chest, I'll take Tartarus's The situation will tell you."

Apollo knew the role of the lead arrow of Eros: Holding a golden bow, manipulating love|desire|sex|god of love? There are two different arrows, the golden arrow can make people fall in love, and the lead arrow can make people fall in love. People hate love.

Apollo frowned and broke his promise: "Sorry, God? Ming, I won't do this."

"Your love is nothing more than that, it can't stand a little test." Eros spoke with mockery and natural contempt.

Apollo didn't care about his verbal attacks, and insisted on his decision: "Love is selfish. I fell in love with someone for the first time, and I was really reluctant? So let him go."

Eros showed such an expression as expected.

However, Apollo changed the subject and said: "Besides, I can only know the basic situation of Tartarus in exchange for love. If Tartarus needs me, I will continue to help him. But if I If I no longer love him, how can I help him?"

"I can't forget my love for him."

Because of love, he is what he is today.

Who else would love his Tal in his stead if he turned back to the Apollo he once was?

His Tal choked on his words and was gluttonous, and he still wanted to continue pampering him.

They still have tens of thousands of years to get along, and it cannot end at this time.

There was a shimmer in Apollo's blue eyes.

After hearing this, Eros smiled suddenly: "That's very good, I have changed my opinion of you."

Apollo didn't care, he only had Tartarus in his heart: "Tal still needs my help, forgive me first."

He turned his head to leave, but was stopped by Eros: "You really can't stand the test, maybe if you ask one more question, I will tell the truth?"

With a thought in his heart, Apollo looked back and asked, "What's your condition?" He didn't believe that Eros simply wanted to help them.In many cases, interests are more touching than touching words.

Eros was not in a hurry to ask for a reward.He tilted his head, obviously full of charm, and seemed a bit innocent: "Play me a piece. It is said that you are good at temperament. I just listened to it, and you really played it well."

Unexpectedly, Eros would put it down gently after picking it up high.Apollo was a little surprised, but he didn't show it, he just said sincerely: "Thank you, venerable god."

Eros shook his head and said, "You don't have to thank me. I've been working on different approaches to love for so many years. You've provided me with a new possibility. Let's see it as mutual benefit, right?"

Eros said so, and Apollo accepted it frankly.

After all, Eros was not at the scene when Tartarus had an accident. He asked Apollo for some details.Hearing Apollo say that Tartarus beheaded Gaia, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows: "It really is Tartarus' style, as always, regardless of it."

He already had the answer in his heart, so he gave the answer to Apollo: As the original gods who were born in the world at the beginning of creation, they not only enjoy the glory, but also bear the responsibility - they want to maintain the operation of the whole world , so that gods and humans continue to multiply and live endlessly.

However, Tartarus killed Gaia rashly.Although he didn't destroy the earth, he seriously injured the laws of the world, so he suffered backlash and disappeared suddenly.

Apollo hurriedly asked: "Then how is he now?"

Eros said: "I can no longer feel the divine power of Gaia, only the earth still pulses. But you can rest assured that Tartarus is in the abyss now, and he should be cultivating his soul."

Apollo breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled wryly.

rest assured?

How can Tal feel at ease now that he needs it mentally and physically?

He wanted to see him, to meet the lover he had just parted with and had already begun to miss.But reason stopped him, and he asked in an unusually calm and? unusually firm? tone: "Is there anything I can do for him?"

Rather than being swayed by emotions and feeling sad in front of Tal, what he should do is to help him recover as soon as possible.

There are still so many scenery in this world waiting for them to see, and so many delicacies waiting for them to taste.They still have tens of thousands of years, but he is also reluctant? This day and night, he does not want to be separated from his Tal.

He wants his Tal back quickly.

Impressed by his gaze, Eros thought for a while and said, "If you want to help him condense his body as soon as possible, you can collect more beliefs for him."

Apollo nodded slightly, he was well aware of the importance of the power of faith.As we all know, a god with many believers will be more powerful.

Tartarus was an accident: he slept too early and too long, and there were no followers of him.

But that's no problem, his most devout followers will spread the faith for him.

There was light in Apollo's eyes, he restrained his thoughts, thanked Eros, and honored the gift to him.In the end, he looked towards the cloudy underworld, his eyes piercing through the layers of poplar trees with reluctance, as if he wanted to look into the end of the underworld, the abyss that sleeps quietly.

However, he saw nothing.

He turned around resolutely and walked towards the ferryman of the Styx River.

It's time for him to go.
