Chapter 2 The lyre and preparing to move
Happy days are always short-lived, and on the nameless island of tranquility, Adros spent several happy years with his mother, the goddess Leto, his sister Artemis, and his brother Apollo.
Over the course of these years, Goddess Leto taught them the arts, medicine, music, and archery. The god of Kaos was created by the primordial god Kaos and later passed on to his children.
Kaos is the base of chaos, the origin of everything, and he gave birth to the first generation of creation gods: Gaia, the mother earth, Kartarus, the lord of hell, Eros, the lord of love, Nix, the lord of night, and Erepos, the lord of darkness and despair.
Gaia is the mother of the gods, three successive generations of god kings are born from her lineage, and the divine text of Kaos was also taught to the gods by her, she is the mother of the gods, the teacher of the gods, and the most respected deity.
Adros thinks that he studies very hard, but he can only admit that no matter how hard he tries, he is still far from catching up with his sister and brother. Maybe it's because the gods are born different, and the things taught by Leto can be easily learned by the two of them, and even draw inferences, some things such as music archery, etc., even Leto is a little inferior.
In contrast, Adros's progress in learning gave Leto the joy of motherhood. Although his divine power is small and he does not seem to have a corresponding priesthood, his mind is active and his ideas are rich, which often makes people's eyes shine.
······
Looking at his brother and sister who had just returned from hunting, Adros couldn't help but sigh to the sky, he was also born for six years, Artemis and Apollo looked like they were thirteen or fourteen years old, and he looked normal, he could only comfort himself like this.
Despite looking only thirteen or fourteen years old, Artemis was already very beautiful and tall, wearing a tunic and hunting boots, her forehead was beautiful and broad, and her blond wavy hair was particularly mesmerizing. Seeing the roll of Adros's eyes, she ran over with a smile, took him in her arms, and kissed him the face. She has always liked this youngest brother very much, since he was a child, he is so cute, not at all like Apollo, who has never been serious.
Adros was very cute, and kissed Artemis a few times in a row, making her giggle. For the embrace of this beautiful maiden, he may have been a little disgusted when he was born, but now he has fully adapted to it, as an ordinary man, he believes that no one can refuse Artemis's arms, and he also believes that everyone in the future will envy him.
And Apollo on the side, with a handsome face, a vigorous posture, and blonde hair like sunshine, giving people a warm and dazzling feeling, he silently looked at the scene in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile. Since birth, the three siblings have lived on this isolated island with their mother Leto, and in his world, their mother, sister, and brother have been all his life.
Suddenly, he thought of one thing, using his divine power, and on the palm of his hand, there was an extra piano. This instrument is very different from their usual common instruments, with a beautiful shape, the lower part of the body is flattened, the upper part is curved and convex, and above the body, there are seven long strings. He smiled and said to Adros: "Look, this is the lyre you want, the body is the sycamore wood of the island, the strings are made of Pegasus tail, I have tuned the tone in the past few days, it is indeed very beautiful, and compared with the harp, it has a different flavor." ”
Seeing this lyre, Adros was very happy, and quickly took it, plucked it a few times, and the subtle and long sound came out, which made him very satisfied. He smiled and said to Apollo, "Thank you, Brother Apollo." ”
Leto had taught them music, but his talent was far less than that of Apollo, the future artist deity, so he begged him to help him make a lyre to rely on, and he could be bored or lonely. In fact, there is no way, as a traverser, I am really not interested in digging eggs in the trees, going to the sea to fish, hunting, the physique is too small, even the rabbit can't catch up, so I can only find other things to entertain.
Apollo touched his head and smiled without saying a word. As for Artemis, he also smiled: "Little Ahs, since Apollo has finished your piano, it's time for us to hear your piano skills." ”
Adros nodded, sat cross-legged behind a flat stone, put the lyre up, closed his eyes and took a long breath, and when his mood calmed down, he stretched out his ten fingers and began to play, plucking the strings with his right hand and pressing the strings with his left hand.
The sound of the piano is melodious and beautiful, and the traditional harp is somewhat different, the loose sound is loose and distant, which makes people think of ancient times; its overtones are like the sounds of nature, there is a sense of coldness into the fairy; the sound is very rich, the chanting under the fingers is subtle and long, sometimes like human language, can be dialogued, sometimes like the mood of the human heart, ethereal and changeable.
Apollo and Artemis, immersed in the beautiful sound of the piano, suddenly felt like a flying dragon rushing from the sea to the sky, and suddenly felt like people playing wantonly in their sleep.
And at this moment, Adros played with his whole body and mind, and suddenly, he felt that between heaven and earth, a piece of relaxation, a blur became clear, and his mind could perceive everything around him. While playing the piano, he found that he seemed to be able to see his body, so he sank into it, and found that in the center of his eyebrows, there was a chaotic space, and there seemed to be a small gray bell in it. On the bell, there are some unclear quaint lines, which are mysterious and unpredictable.
Seeing this bell, Adros suddenly felt an indescribable sense of joy. People are most afraid of the unknown, he came here, but he didn't know why, just felt like a dream, at this time to see this bell, maybe the answer he wanted will be in it.
His mood changed, and the sound of the piano became cheerful and comfortable. In the ears of Apollo and Artemis, the flying dragon in the sky hovered wantonly, fearless, and the dreamer danced with joy and no longer had the slightest worry.
Seeing this change in the scene, and seeing the change in Adros's temperament, Artemis and Apollo glanced at each other, and there was a light smile in their eyes.
It was the goddess Leto not far away, whose frowning brows had already stretched out at this time. This young son of his own, although he has been smart since he was a child, but his talent is far inferior to his older brothers and sisters, and he has always felt that there seems to be a burden on his heart, but after playing the piano once at this moment, the burden in his heart seems to be gone.
The gods born in the Kaos god system are different from other gods, and the gods seem to be able to determine their future achievements when they are first born. When they are just born, their own divine power will resonate with heaven and earth, and the power that can resonate between heaven and earth is the power that this god can master in the future.
For example, when the god-king Zeus himself was born, lightning and thunder appeared together, and the sky trembled, which already signaled the arrival of a great god. Therefore, Gaia, the mother of the earth, and Rhea, the god of time and space at that time, secretly raised Zeus despite offending their sons and husbands, the god of time, space and destruction, and the then Titan.
Sure enough, the adult Zeus has powerful divine power and divine power, and after he knew his background, he drugged his father Kronos, rescued his brothers and sisters, freed the imprisoned cyclops and hundred-armed giants, overthrew the rule of the Titans, and became the new king of the gods on Mount Olympus.
When Artemis and Apollo were born, the sun and moon appeared, everything shook, and it was obvious that they would have powerful divine power in the future, and Adros, when he was born, only the North Star reacted, that is, he grew to the extreme, and it is estimated that he was at most a North Star master. In the vast stars, it was not conspicuous, so Zeus did not even give him a gift, when he did not exist.
She thinks that Adros may also know the situation at this time, and all along, although he is laughing and playing, he still seems to have a knot in his heart, and listening to his piano at this time, it seems that he has already connected.
The sound of the piano slowly stopped, and Leto walked over and said to the three of them with an anxious face: "Children, we are moving, you go back and pack your things quickly." ”
"Why did you move?" said Apollo, who was very happy with his sister and brother despite his small size.
"Is someone coming after us, Mother?" Adros was far more familiar with their situation than Artemis and Apollo. The jealousy of the queen of the gods will be spread in the world thousands of years later.
Leto glanced approvingly at his youngest son, and nodded, except for his lack of talent, he seemed to be better than his sister and brother in his insight into world affairs and his grasp of people's hearts.
"The goddess Themis has sent me a message that the python has come to hunt us down at the behest of Hera. For the pursuit of the god queen, Leto was both angry and helpless.
Artemis blinked her blue eyes and wondered, "What about my father? Why didn't he stop Hera?" she knew from birth that her father was Zeus, the ruler of thunder and lightning, the king of the gods.
Adros gave his sister a strange look, not expecting Zeus to come and save us, but she didn't say anything. Instead, Apollo said with a look of indignation: "If he could stop Hera, he wouldn't have let us ignore this island for several years." ”
"Don't talk so much, just pack it up. With that, he left.
Others may not know, but Leto knows that the god king Zeus at this time is just an empty name elected by his brothers, the god of the sea, Poseidon, is alone, the Hades king Haris lives in the underworld, the god queen Hera is full of opinions about him, and some more ancient gods are disdainful of him. As a god-king, he can only sit on Mount Olympus every day, and he doesn't even dare to go down the mountain easily, he is afraid that if he goes down the mountain, Mount Olympus will change hands, and the throne of the god-king will be replaced by someone else.
Fearing that his throne would be taken from him, he showed mercy and became close to the gods. Also because he feared that his throne would be taken away, he devoured her alive, regardless of his feelings for Metis, the goddess of wisdom and her merits. Although she did not understand the nature of this god-king as well as Themis and Themis, she also knew very well that he was greedy and ruthless.
Seeing the goddess Leto and Apollo Artemis leaving, Adros shook his head, this teddy god-king, he can't count on it in his life.
He sank his mind, his spirit into his brow, and walked towards the gray bell.
