[Greek Mythology] The Love of Persephone

There was no sound in the silence.

Persephone quietly pulled Hermes' sleeve, and the other party understood, and quietly led her back. Seeing that Pluto was just dazed and unresponsive, she breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid, we're safe."

These words were like unraveling the nightmare-like spell. Persephone smiled again, and a smile appeared on her tear-stained face. She wanted to sigh, but she was afraid of waking Hades, so she had to lower her voice. Said: "Hermes..."

"It's safe, we are completely safe." Hermes told her affirmatively, and kissed her lips, "Don't worry, I have met the three goddesses of fate, and she told us that after turning our fate around this time, The misfortune you have been burdened with will be resolved."

This is another good news that makes people cry with joy, but the location at this moment seems out of place.

The two kept warm for a moment, then turned their eyes back to Hades, the king of the underworld.I saw that he had arrived under the poplar tree at some point, stretched out a hand, and gently stroked the bark. His expression could not be said to be completely awake, but more like a kind of melancholy in a dream.

This is really not like the Pluto that people know.

The phantom of the girl seemed to appear again for a moment, she smiled, and disappeared into the poplar tree again.And Pluto stared blankly at her figure, and finally water vapor permeated the bottom of his pale green eyes.He whispered: "Liu Ke..."

He had already woken up, but he didn't want to wake up, as if he was in deep pain, and even his fingers were twitching slightly.

"Who is she?" Persephone looked at the pair of lovers who had apparently been separated for many years with pity.Although there was instinctive fear in her tone, her kindness was undoubtedly revealed.With a soft voice, she asked her lover.

And Hermes answered her gently.He said: "Her name is Luce, and she is a nymph in the sea. She is the daughter of Oceanus, the god of rivers, and Taisis, the goddess of the sea, and the lover of Hades, king of the underworld."

This is a very poignant story.Hades, the king of the underworld, falls in love with the sea nymph Luce, and takes her to the Isle of Bliss.However, Liu Ke was not an immortal goddess, and soon died of depression.In grief, Pluto turned her into a poplar tree and made it the holy tree of the underworld.Placing on the eternal thoughts of his long life—and this is his only love.

"So, is this the reason why Hades never had any scandals with other fairies?" Persephone asked softly.She remembered that the other party was controlled by the effect of the golden arrow, and once treated her like crazy but at the same time maintained a certain kind of deep restraint.She couldn't understand it at that time, but now she can finally understand it.She and Hermes are happy after all.Thinking of this, she wiped away her tears and gave her lover a deep smile.

Hermes said: "Yes, we are fine." He still had a smile on his childish face, "Now, it's time for us to leave. The goddess of fertility must still be worried. We are completely free from now on."

He paused, and even though he knew it seemed inappropriate to speak at this moment, he still wanted to say goodbye to Pluto.Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to be aware of it, and before he could speak, he said in a cold tone: "Leave my underworld immediately."

His voice was hoarse and cold: "Now, leave immediately." There was a slight tremor in his tone.

Hermes and Persephone did not dare to stay longer.They walked away supporting each other, and when the first ray of light fell on their faces, they still couldn't believe that this sudden freedom was real.Above, Demeter, the goddess of fertility, weeping with joy, is reaching out to them.The couple looked back at the gloomy underworld for the last time, only to see the poplar tree swaying slightly, scattering countless light spots.And Pluto stands under the poplar tree, his back is so lonely...

They all felt sad, but the thought was fleeting.Seeing that Demeter's eyes were full of tears, Hermes reached out and lifted Persephone, who had already lost strength, without delay.The goddess of spring opened her arms to accept the mother's embrace and the newborn freedom. The sun poured down from her blond hair, and it was the most beautiful scenery in the world in an instant.
