65. Things after the death
The night was thick, and the wet siren walked down one foot deep and one foot shallow, her expression was always faint, and she couldn't see any emotion.
As she came out of the temple, Prometheus looked at her with worry in her eyes, and the siren felt that he was overwhelmed because her mood was unexpectedly calm.
Anyone who hears about the Siren's experience will sigh and be miserable, but the Siren who is the person concerned does not have much thought, everyone has their own fate, pain and joy are equal, everyone has to bear the same amount, there is no difference between each other, and it is precisely because of these experiences that she will accept it calmly when she hears such terrible news.
It's not that I'm not afraid, it's just that I've experienced too much pain, and death seems insignificant. Siren walked down the mountain with her head down, her mind was clearer than ever, she could understand her mother's approach, and she could understand why her father's attitude changed so much after going out for one night, and Dio, it seems that he also knew, that night Siren was all about strange dreams, not paying attention to Dior's unusual behavior, and the way he looked at him, the strong feelings contained in it almost swallowed her, and now in retrospect, the panic that was deeply hidden by Dior was accidentally revealed.
Now she finally understood why Dio didn't want her to stay, the war between the new gods and the old gods, the prophecy had made it so clear, this was her destiny.
Before I knew it, I had returned to the Moon God Palace, and the siren stood at the door, but he didn't go in.
Since the siren's birth, the siren has felt that she has handled it well, and some of them will be sad, but it doesn't matter, time will heal the wounds she brings.
Except for Dio.
Even if it's a parent, the siren won't worry too much, because Scamander and Muse love each other deeply, they just comfort each other, Hermes has Al, Pearl has Hades, Black Poplar may cry, but he is a strong child, he will be fine, and Pearl will definitely take good care of him in his place.
There was only Dio, he was alone, and the sirens couldn't think of who would comfort him if he was gone, Eros? His timid and fearful look popped up in his mind, and the siren couldn't help laughing, Eros was too unreliable, so forget it.
The corners of the siren's raised lips froze in place, slowly drooping. She was born with nothing, and when she left, she still had nothing, she couldn't leave anything for Dio, not even a little something to miss, thinking of this, the siren suddenly hated herself very much, why did she make things so stiff, why did she have a gap of four years between them, and the four years that were no more than a snap of a finger for other gods were the last time for her and Dio.
The siren had never regretted it so much, and she even thought that it would be great if she could keep a child, and that in the lonely hollow of the next ten thousand years, there would still be someone Dio loved to relieve him.
The siren was not so sad when she heard the prophecy, she swore never to leave Dio again, and never hurt him again, but she still betrayed her oath, Dio would hate her, and will.
The hand that had been on the door was retracted by her side, and the siren took a few steps back, but turned away.
What she didn't expect was that Dio was behind this door, and he sensed the siren's breath and stood behind the door waiting for the siren to come in, but she only stood at the door for a while and left. Dio was stunned for a while, thinking that she was still angry, so he simply opened the door and chased out, but saw that the siren's face had a shiny water color, Dior was startled and wanted to go over, but when he saw the direction she was going, he paused, stood in place and thought about it, he still secretly followed the siren.
Dio carefully distanced himself from the siren, in fact, he didn't have to do this, the siren was in a terrible mood now, and he didn't care about the situation behind him at all.
From such a distance, Dio could feel the sadness emanating from the siren's body, and he followed without saying a word, until he finally sank his face when he saw the oncoming god.
Something sad happened, and her first thought was Hermes and not herself, much to Dio's displeasure, and he was about to step out of the shadows and bring the siren back when he happened to hear the siren's words.
"Wouldn't you be sad if I died?"
Hermes looked at her in a daze, really couldn't understand her behavior, and ran to him in the middle of the night without sleep to ask him such a nonsensical question, stimulated?
Even so, when he saw the siren's reddened eyes, he replied in a soft tone: "Yes, and you will die of sadness, why are you crying?" ”
After listening to Hermes's words, the siren's mood became heavier, Hermes would be sad to death, what about Dio? What will happen to him? The siren didn't dare to think about it anymore, she didn't want to hurt Dio anymore, she didn't want to leave him alone anymore, but fate was always not her favor, and she couldn't do anything.
Hermes thought back to what he had said, as if there was nothing inappropriate, but seeing the siren's appearance was even more sad, he took the siren to the side of the bench, frowned and asked, "Siren, what's wrong?" You can only make me more anxious, say it, I will definitely help you. ”
In front of Hermes, the siren is like a transparent body, she has almost no secrets in front of him, the siren thought about it, there is no need to hide this kind of thing, sooner or later Hermes will know, it is better to sue him now, so that he can be mentally prepared.
Thinking like this, the siren took a deep breath and then smiled lightly, "I just met Cleo, and she told me something. ”
Hermes looked at her with good eyes, the smile on the siren's face was even bigger, and his voice was heavier, "It turns out that I was born with three prophecies, the other two have been fulfilled, and now there is one last one left, and I will die at the hands of an ancient god." ”
The figure in the shadows froze suddenly, Hermes straightened up, his expression coldened a little, "Siren, don't joke about this kind of thing. ”
The siren stiffened the corners of his mouth, "Hermes, I'm not kidding. ”
Hermes's eyes widened, shock floated into the corners of his eyes, Siren shrugged his shoulders, and said easily: "I don't feel anything, because I think about it, the people I care about can be counted with one hand, you all have someone to accompany you, you will be fine, I'm not worried about you, it's Dio, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand it if I'm gone, I'm so sorry for him," said, Siren lowered his head and smiled, "I should have pestered him like a dog's skin plaster, so we must have been together a long time ago, maybe we even have children, haha...... ”
Suddenly, the shoulder was grabbed by Hermes, and the strength was painful, the siren frowned, but he didn't make a sound, only bit his lower lip, raised his eyes to look at Hermes, he was glaring at himself, "Why do you think we are okay, think we will be fine, Siren, have you ever thought about how bastard your words are!" ”
As he spoke, he jerked up his siren, "Go!" I'm going to send you away now, and you're going to run away for me, and I'm never allowed to come back!" ”
After pulling several times without pulling, he looked back, and the siren was looking at him helplessly, as if the most pitiful thing was Hermes, she lowered her head, let the tears flow in the dark, and then slowly withdrew her hand, "Without Kronos and others, where do you let me escape?" Can I still escape the invisible web of fate? I just want to stay with Dio now, and I don't want to waste a minute or a second. ”
Sitting back on the bench, the figure of the siren became thinner and thinner, Hermes felt that his heart was throbbing, and finally settled down for a few years, and suddenly such a desperate news appeared, he sat down beside the siren, and was silent for a long time before asking, "Really...... Is there no way? ”
Siren's eyelashes twitched a few times, and her voice was very dull, "You've lived so long, have you ever seen a prophecy that didn't come true?" ”
No......
Hermes's hand was clenched into a fist, almost crushing his own bones, and the siren did not hear his answer, and smiled bitterly, "So, I don't run, I'm going to stay with Dio." ”
"I'm a little sad when I heard that I'm going to die, but I won't be sad all the time, I'll be fine tomorrow, let me clean up my mood today."
Saying that, the siren raised his head and showed a smile, Hermes has been gloomy, he can't laugh at all, looking at such a siren, the resentment and anger in his heart are even worse, but there is more distress, and the siren looked at each other for a few seconds, he leaned forward and hugged her tightly: "Siren, don't give up, you have gone through so many difficulties, how can you give up here, I will find all the methods, I will definitely be able to break this prophecy." You still have so many things to do, don't you love Dionysus very much? You haven't been married to him, you've never been a mother, siren, please, don't give up. ”
The siren buried his head halfway in the shoulder socket of Hermes, who felt the warm liquid rubbing against his skin, and listened to the siren's inaudible sobs, and his heart seemed to be filled with lead.
Suddenly, Hermes frowned, and there was a figure standing in the shadows not far away, after identifying who it was from the outline, Hermes was shocked, I don't know how long he had been standing there, and I didn't know how much he had heard, obviously the god of wine had been watching there, and when he came into contact with Hermes's sight, Dio turned his eyes away, still looking at the siren, his eyes were surging with love that Hermes couldn't understand, his hands clenched and released, for a long time, he slowly retreated, and finally disappeared into the shadows.
After saying goodbye to Hermes, the sirens stayed outside for a long time, and when she was sure that Dior would not see anything unusual, she took a deep breath before pushing the door open and entering.
There was no one on the bed, and when he looked around, Dio stood in front of the window, against the moonlight, and the siren could not see his face clearly, but he could feel his sadness, as if he was the only one left in the world, as if he was only lonely in his life.
Siren was shocked and hurriedly walked over, Dio raised his head when he heard the movement, Siren stopped in place, looked at him stubbornly, and said word by word: "I will not leave, no matter what you say, I will never leave." ”
The look of disappointment flashed, and Dio leaned against the window and nodded, "Okay." ”
Siren was stunned, originally thought it would take some effort to get him to agree, but he suddenly changed his mind, Siren looked at him confused, Dio walked over and walked to the bed with Siren, "You can stay if you want, I won't stop you, I've been waiting for you, it's getting late, go to sleep." ”
The siren looked suspiciously into Dior's eyes, but could not see anything, and lay on the bed in disbelief, Dior scooped her into his arms, kissed the siren's lips, and then whispered, "Sleep, good night." ”
After speaking, he really closed his eyes and began to sleep, the siren opened a pair of big eyes, blue eyes became deeper and deeper, she still has a lot of things to do, although Hermes said that he would definitely find a solution for her, but in fact, they all knew that the so-called finding a way was just psychological comfort, no one could fight fate, she should prepare for what happened after she left.
Try to arrange everything as well as possible, and do your best to leave no regrets, as for Dio...... Siren raised his eyes, Dio's facial features were deeper and more delicate in the moonlight, and Siren's hand stayed over his face, following the outline, as if he was really caressing.
There will be a way...... There will be a way.
Thinking about a lot of things, the sirens gradually fell asleep, the moon reached its highest point and began to set slowly, I don't know how long it took, the quiet Olympus suddenly shook, Dio immediately opened his eyes, his eyes were full of clarity, obviously he didn't sleep at all, he shook a little, and then slowly became more and stronger, there was a slight commotion outside began to sound, the crystal bottle on the table fell to the ground, and the crisp sound woke up the siren, her eyes widened, and Dio looked at her very strictly.
"The Giants are here."
