[Greek mythology] Grey-eyed goddess

Apollo returned to the temple with a pale face, and the nine muses guarding the temple immediately noticed that something was wrong with Apollo.

"Brother?" The muses are the daughters of Zeus and the goddess of memory, and are the gods of Apollo.

"It's okay." Lost in spirit, Apollo sat firmly with the support of his sisters, sweating profusely, the power of the goddess of retribution was breaking out little by little, the curse gradually weakened his power, and the sun's light dimmed.

"Where's Al?"

"Sister Luna is sleeping and transforming, and she hasn't left the temple yet."

"That's good, don't tell her about me."

Several goddesses responded, and one goddess asked, "Brother, who cursed you?"

The figure of Yang Yan flashed past in his heart, and thinking of the plague god again, Apollo shook his head: "It's not anyone, it's just that I accidentally encountered a relic left by an ancient god. I want to sleep for a while, you go down first Bar."

Hiding in the palace, Apollo lay on the bed, frowning tightly, falling into a nightmare and unable to extricate himself.

In his dream, he saw a boy with blond curly hair holding clay to shape his own statue.

Delos?that's me?This scene did not exist in his memory, but he vaguely understood that this was what happened to him.

"Phoppers, what are you doing!" A girl of about the same size ran over from the side.The girl's body is shining with silver light, and she is wearing a blue bouton robe. This is the young Artemis.

"What are you doing?" The girl spun around the boy, seeing him stirring the mud.

"I want to create life!" The boy looked serious, and he quickly created a full-length nude figure that was exactly like himself with the priesthood of art: "Sure enough, I am the most handsome!" The statue was alive, but he cast spells several times and the statue remained motionless.

The girl next to her giggled and rolled on the ground: "You don't have the power of life, how can you shape life? I think you sleep with this statue in your arms every day, maybe in the future he will be able to move if he gets your air! "

The boy ignored the girl's ridicule, turned and left Delos, not knowing what to prepare.

In the following years, the boy, just as the girl said, circled around the statue every day.

One day, the girl couldn't bear to look at it and couldn't help but said: "I think you can forget it, it's just a statue, what's so good about it. Do you really think it can move?"

"It must be possible, this is what fate told me!" The boy said seriously: "Do you want to bet, if I win, I will be your brother in the future."

"Then if you lose, you will call me sister in the future!" The girl rolled her eyes and made a high-five agreement with the boy.

The young gods of light made an agreement, and soon after the statue came to life, the boy became an elder brother according to the agreement, and the girl became a younger sister.

"Why are you so stupid!" The girl hugged the boy, seeing the statue was shrouded in black mist, and gradually moved.

"Half of my divine power and part of my priesthood, together with the God Seed I found from the darkness, should be able to give him real life. Wake up, my half body!" The boy was exhausted too much, and there was also the pain of separation from the priesthood, soul and soul. .

The bust of Phoebus is of course Artemis, but now his eyes are on the statue.This statue has half his priesthood.Boys in this era have the eight priesthoods of light, music, bow and arrow, art, prophecy, revenge, plague, and darkness.

He put the three priesthoods of vengeance, plague and darkness, plus the inheritance he got from Erebus, into the statue, making the statue alive.A boy exactly like him appeared in the black fog, ignorantly looking at this new world.

"From now on, you will be called Roper, my half." The boy stepped forward happily, feeling that he and the statue were connected.Originally one, he could perceive the thinking of the statue's clone at will, and the clone also continuously obtained new knowledge from him, and the heartbeat and pulse of the two were the same.

"You are Fo-po-s." The statue clone said jerkyly, and the first thing it called out after birth was Apollo's name. "My name is Ro-per." Slowly, more and more proficient, you can talk to Apollo.

The girl next to her looked down, looking at the interaction between the boy and the statue, wondering what she was thinking.

Seeing this memory in a nightmare, Apollo suddenly felt a sinking heart, a splitting headache, and vaguely understood what was going to happen next.He knows his half too well, not the new Roper, but his sister Artemis.

……

"Later, I was with Apollo every day, and Apollo deliberately found Hades as my mentor. Of course, he was also taught by Hades at the beginning." Narcissus, Roper explained himself to Yang Yan the past.

It was Hades!Yang Yan's eyes lit up, the fire of gossip was blazing, and she stared at Roper with malicious intentions. "I heard that the teachings of the male gods seem to be protected by the original elders to pass the safe period? Then..." Looking at Roper's lower body, it seems that something has been imagined.

"Thinking too much, the two of us have not further developed an intimate relationship with His Majesty Hades." Roper pouted, unwilling to say more.That's right, Hades did not have close contact with them, but the hazy and impulsive nature of the teenagers, the two of them had secretly learned about that.

Yang Yan was a little disappointed, and then she thought about the business. After recalling Roper's narration, she asked doubtfully: "According to what you said, Apollo deliberately chose Hades as a mentor for you, and even Poseidon didn't choose, so what are you two doing?" ? If that's not love."

Roper continued: "During that time, I had a good relationship with Apollo, and even Artemis felt left out. One day, when Apollo left Delos to look for Piton the Serpent, Artemis and I had an affair. conflict."

Yang Yan was silent. As Artemis' best friend, she certainly knew what Artemis was like.Artemis is not a kind and pure goddess. She died once at birth, and after experiencing the horror of the underworld, she has paranoia towards her own people that others cannot understand.This is a goddess who is as insecure as she is.According to Artemis' personality, Apollo would never be allowed to look at others.

"In the beginning, it was just a small fight, and Apollo just persuaded me to be courteous to Artemis. But then..."

Seeing Roper's eyes, Yang Yan's heart trembled: "Could it be that she..."

"Yes, she killed me."

……

In the dream, Apollo stood in a pool of blood, and in front of him was a boy who was exactly like himself.Although he was killed by a wild beast, Apollo certainly knew what it meant.

Reaching out to touch the pool of blood, although it was a dream, it also made him feel real, recalling the scene that happened once.The smell of blood came to the face.

"No wonder this memory is self-sealed."

Even he didn't want to recall the dark history of one half of himself killing the other half.

"Roper!" Apollo suddenly heard a heart-piercing cry, stood up and looked at the other side of the dream, a young man ran over to hug Roper's body in the distance, deeply saddened.

Next, the young Phoebes searched for the secret technique of resurrection.In fact, he also succeeded. I don't know how he used Roper's soul to fuse with himself.This is also the habit of Apollo, he likes to bring his beloved things with him.And later with daffodils and laurel wreaths all the same.

He kept Roper's soul in his body, and the two souls were born from the same source, which is a half body in the true sense.

"But then you separated from him, could it be..." Yang Yan thought about the entanglement between the three of Apollo, and vaguely understood why.Some are embarrassed to look at Roper.

The attribute of Apollo's body is light, and Artemis is also light, but it is the light of night.She is compatible with Apollo, symbolizing day and night.In contrast, her incarnation of Mingyue is only complementary, and her relationship with her is not as close as that of Apollo.

And Roper, the bust that appeared later, symbolizes pure darkness, and is the most suitable existence for Apollo's brilliance.Of course, Apollo himself has no feeling. For him, he symbolizes the dazzling light, whether it is darkness or the brilliance in darkness, it can be perfectly matched with him.

But it was different with Artemis and Roper.One is light in darkness and one is darkness.The two also have a matchmaker, so it would be strange if they didn't fight.

"He abandoned his dark power in pursuit of pure light." After silence, Roper said softly.For the sake of absolute brilliance, Apollo realized the ultimate light after inheriting the power of Uranus' sky light, tearing his dark power and separating the souls of the same source, which was more harmful to him than Artemis Serious betrayal.

"Does light and shadow exist?" The shadows under the light, but as the divinity of light increases step by step, Apollo will not tolerate the existence of dark attributes.Yang Yan had dealt with Apollo before, and Apollo's inheritance of Erebus had been distorted by Apollo into absolute brilliance. Yang Yan almost fought against Apollo at the beginning because of the incompatibility of the dark attribute.Not to mention Roper, the god of the same origin.

In the end, Apollo, who cut off the power of darkness, occupied the throne of the main god with the glory of the god of light.Not inherited from the god of darkness and intelligence, but by virtue of one's own efforts.

"The male gods' desire for power is understandable, but they don't agree with it." Yang Yan thought silently.This is the ambition inherited from the blood of Uranus, the ambition for the king of gods.

In the dream, Apollo silently looked at the light in the dream.As the light rose slowly, a cloud of shadow was stripped off, and the shadow fell to the ground.At some point, Apollo's perspective changed, appearing from a shining angle looking at the shadows on the ground.

There was a tingling pain in his heart, and the choice he made when he was young and ignorant, did he have no regrets for him today?

"Phoppers, I curse you, one day the darkness will swallow up the light, and I will firmly trample you under my feet!" At some point, the half body that always called itself "Phoppers" began to call Apollo .Phopers, the meaning of brilliance.Roper does not recognize this radiance that cuts through the darkness, and has been called Apollo ever since.

"Is this the reason why you guys turned against each other?" Yang Yan was secretly vigilant, thinking of her avatar, she must never have the same experience as Apollo.

"After I was abandoned by the light, there was only a shadow reborn in the earth. At that time, I met Narcissus."

Narcissus liked Apollo, at least at first.The teenager was cursed at birth by the Nemesis to end up liking his own reflection and dying of a broken heart.So his parents won't let him watch his own reflection.A dark lake that could not reflect the light was specially prepared for him.That's where Roper fell.

Since childhood, Narcissus would confide his heart by the lake.At this time, Roper, who was struggling in the sun, could use Narcissus' words to divert his attention.Slowly pay attention to the boy, and gradually develop feelings.

But as the teenager grew up, he met Apollo.In the end the two fell in love.Narcissus would confide in the progress of himself and Apollo by the lake.At first Roper hated this kind of behavior extremely.But as Narcissus talked about it every day, Roper also thought of his interaction with Apollo, and unconsciously entered himself into it.It's just that even Roper himself didn't understand which side he brought in.

"Although I know that the person he likes is not me, but I..." Looking at the daffodils around him, Roper laughed at himself: "After all, I am also a part of Apollo." Yes, the preferences are exactly the same, so Apollo likes Narcisser Si, so Roper likes it too.Because Roper is just a shadow at the moment, he can only silently bless Narcissus and Apollo, hoping that the half-body who abandoned him can treat Narcissus well.

"Until one day, Narcissus got the crystallization of Apollo's divine power to purify the lake, dispel my dark divine power, and see his own reflection."

The curse broke out. The curse prepared for Narcissus by Nemesis, the goddess of revenge, made Narcissus fall in love with his own reflection at a glance and become crazy about it.

The curse of Nemesis was difficult to undo even by Apollo, and finally turned Narcissus into a daffodil.

"Then you rushed up to seek revenge on him before your injury healed?" Only the soul and divine power remained, not even the body. Isn't this courting death?

"That's right, but what I didn't expect was that this guy was so ruthless that he cut off all my memories." Roper sneered, "That's right, he probably doesn't want that dark history either." As far as he is concerned, the person he likes is Narcissus, and he doesn't even know what half of his body he has.Seeing Roper coming to snatch Narcissus' daffodils, he was furious and fought with Roper.

"In the end I was almost beaten to death, but it was Hecate who rescued me back to the underworld."

"Her?" Yang Yan's face became strange: "Doesn't she hate you?"

"Yes, but she saved me, and prepared me for the priesthood of the plague god in the underworld, and was taken in by His Majesty Hades."

I really can't understand the relationship between the two of you and your four personalities!Yang Yan's brain hurts, and she can't understand the complicated relationship between the four of Apollo and the others.

Your circle is really chaotic, can I withdraw from the circle of double-faced gods?I always feel that I am on a black boat, and it is a boat that has no nails.
