Bouquet of Narcissus

Above the sky, the castle of the gods, the great and majestic Olympus.

The twelve gods in the temple are shining, and Zeus on the throne seems to be thinking.

In the hall the gods are quarreling.

The Siege of Troy had been going on for nine years.The Goddess of Fate predicted that the war would take ten years to end. The gods admired the protracted battlefield and felt a certain kind of exhaustion.

It's time for new fun for the gods.But which side should win?

The gods have different views and positions.

They quarreled for a long time, but they still couldn't agree, so Zeus stopped their endless quarrel as a referee.He said: "Since this is the case, then both of you will decide the fate of Troy according to your own abilities."

Ares, the son of Zeus, begged the god on the throne: "Father God, I can no longer bear the scolding from my mother. I hope you will allow me to descend into the mortal world. Maybe only war and blood can make me happy."

"My child, you are so reckless and cruel, but your nature is so, who is to blame for this, it is your mother Hera and my sin, we cannot deny it. In this case, you go, join forces in Troy and Greece Let's see the battle."

Hera looked sullen, and said to Zeus disapprovingly: "You are so hasty, isn't it irresponsible? Your thoughts are deep, and you would rather fool your son for the sake of Achilles. But don't forget Now, Achilles is the son of Paleus and Thetis, the goddess of the sea, so you are rushing to be his father, and you don’t even ask if he wants to.”

Zeus was angry, "Shut your mouth, you are cunning, jealous, and insidious. Thetis escaped into the ocean to avoid you, but you still didn't let her go. What are you going to do now?"

The queen Hera, the daughter of Cronus, has white arms and gorgeous curly hair. She snorted coldly: "When you mention the old things, you are so angry, just because you are afraid that the old love will be unforgettable. But I tell you, you have wronged me. , I support the Greeks. For this reason, I gathered people and collected horses and gave them to the Greeks. You lightly deny my contribution, and the city of Troy will surely perish. But you are uncertain and swinging from side to side, who knows the bottom of your heart What are your plans?"

"Don't speculate on me, Hera." Zeus said in a deep tone, his anger undiminished, "If you don't want to be crushed by me under the mountains again, you can say a few words less."

In order to calm down, Herb, the goddess of youth, had to start persuading her mother.At this time, Athena and Aphrodite also returned to the Temple of Olympus.

They talked about the situation.

The Greeks retreated, leaving the city of Troy intact.

Hera was very dissatisfied, and scolded: "Hades also want to intervene?"

"No." The boy jumped out, his tone reserved: "Pluto remains neutral just like the great Father God."

"It's just that the dying wailing of the high priest who served the temple moved Pluto to show some pity. But I just blocked it a little and asked the two sides to temporarily cease fighting." Narcissus said, and at the same time, he already had some kind of sympathy in his heart. Intend.

"So you, the little **** envoy of hell, want to fight against me?"

"No, I dare not, great white wall goddess, I dare not." Narcissus stepped back blindly, with a humble expression, but the words uttered from his rose-like lips were full of high-spirited tenderness, Aphrodite He has been maintained.

"Why, don't all the gods have to agree with you?"

Before Hera could speak, Ares rushed up with a loud voice: "Nacissus, you are finally no longer hiding in the cold underground, you exist like a ghost, the world is so much fun, Father God has promised me, Come down with me."

Ares was so powerful that he wanted to pull Narcissus out, but Athena stopped him: "You idiot, you will hurt him like this."

"Don't meddle in your own business." Ares and Athena have been at loggerheads.The two started fighting without saying a few words. Herb, the goddess of youth, persuaded her left and right, but was mocked by Athena. Zeus, who was so angry, had a headache and waved them away with his divine power, "Get out of here, everyone is here to collect debts."

Athena said to Ares: "Leave here, let's fight outside." Aphrodite is not her opponent, but Ares can fight against him, and can improve his fighting ability from the battle. Skill.

The two went out, not forgetting to support Narcissus before leaving.The goddess of youth, Herb, was very worried, and hurriedly resigned and followed her out.

Aphrodite stomped her feet: "You guys are bullying together, Little Narcissus wait for me." She also ran out, leaving Hera pissed off, and turned her head to see that Zeus had already left.

Hera sneered three times, and using her divine power, she came to the center of the ocean.

"The son of Cronus, the unyielding sea god, the oppressed Poseidon, I, Hera, hope to have a detailed talk with you."

As soon as the words fell, huge waves rose up on the sea, rolling in like a howling tsunami.The sky was collapsing and the ground was turbulent, the waves were connected to the sky, and no living things could be seen, and a golden chariot with eight celestial horses appeared in the huge waves.Eight snow-white horses occupy eight directions, and the golden chariot is inlaid with bright gems.

On the throne is a king wearing a silk robe, his handsome face is full of world-weariness and disdain.

The resplendent and resplendent three-pronged spear is on his right hand, and the billowing waves are churning endlessly, and the waves are pouring like the sky behind him, showing the invincible power and majesty from the ocean.

Poseidon rested his chin lazily, and said lazily, "Hera, my dear sister, she is really a rare visitor."

After leaving the temple on the other side, Narcissus gently broke away from the shackles of Athena and Ares. He blinked and thanked.

"Thank you."

Ares scratched his head, obviously not knowing why he was thanking him, Athena looked at Aphrodite who was chasing after him, "Then don't forget to bring me a share of the flowers/nectar of Hades. forgive you."

Narcissus smiled and said, "Of course, my goddess sister."

"Do you want to fight or not!" Ares became impatient, sniffed his nose hard, and let out a big sneeze.Narcissus was very disgusted, and immediately covered his nose, going to change clothes, he could not bear the smell of Ares.

Aphrodite held him back, "Little Narcissus, go to my temple, I recently got a new batch of beautiful textile cloth, a sacrifice from the city-state of Aiweier. The maids have already cut it, let's try it together .”

Narcissus followed her and arrived at the towering and exquisite temple of Aphrodite. He said, "What is God Father's plan?"

Aphrodite shook her head, "I don't know. I feel that Troy is going to lose, and it's all my fault. I shouldn't have asked for the golden apple at the beginning. The goddess of discord is probably going to be very happy this time. She wandered around the world for a long time. disputes among nations."

There was a hint of melancholy in Narcissus' eyes, "The glory of the past will eventually be gone."

He grew up in the plains and forests surrounding the city-state of Troy when he was a child. In order to avoid Hera's jealousy, his mother sent him to the city of Troy for nearly a year.

At that time, Troy was rich in supplies and beautiful in mountains and rivers; now it is a mess, with bloody wailing everywhere.

Aphrodite comforted him and wanted to come over and hold his hand, but Narcissus avoided him and smiled instead: "Maybe we should find a way to persuade Father God."

Zeus is powerful and holds all the power. The gods sometimes have to obey his command, but there will be complaints in their hearts.Aphrodite did not accept this topic, but took out the exquisite cloth and started to play the dress-up game.

Narcissus also skimmed over this topic cleverly, chatted with her, had a delicious dinner, and then sneaked into the city of Troy.

He went first to the camp of the Greeks who were stationed by the sea.Fireflies flew around Agamemnon's tent, and Narcissus walked around the narrow and crowded tent stealthily, hearing their dull snoring.

The fighting on the battlefield yesterday made the Greeks very tired, and they fell into deep dreams. What kind of dreams would the goddess of dreams weave for them?Narcissus broke into Odysseus' camp.He once heard a few words from Hades, the goddess of fate, outside the palace, that Odysseus would end the city of Troy.

Odysseus was naked from the upper body, covered only with a woolen blanket. Beside him was a female slave who saw Narcissus with wide-eyed eyes. His eyes were so fascinated that he suspected that he was dreaming.

Narcissus made a silent movement and carefully observed the legendary hero. He was not as handsome as Achilles, but he still had many scars on his chest.The female slave blinked, seemed to wake up, and opened her mouth to scream, but Narcissus knocked her unconscious very quickly, and then left the camp.

Can fate be violated?

If he killed Odysseus in the last second, will the prophecy of the goddess of fate still come true?

Narcissus thought of his fate.Because it was predicted that he would drown and die, his mother took him out of the deep forest to Troy. Troy had no water source, and his mother thought that this would not fulfill the terrible curse and fate.However, by chance, he still fell into the sea and died.

The soul wandered to the underworld, was appreciated by the king of the underworld, and became a messenger of hell.In order for him to live in the underworld intact, his mother begged Zeus, the father god, to take out the deep spring water from the deepest part of the underworld, and bathed him for three full years. immortal god.

After that, he went to the tree of wisdom again and prayed to the oracle. The Goddess of Fate said: "Rebirth is vain, and death is eternal. You will die by the knife of your lover."

Narcissus sneered when he thought of this prophecy. In his opinion, this is nonsense, because he has no lover, and he loves himself the most——

And he's definitely not going to kill himself—that mistake should be over.
