"Sister Hestia, it's Persephone who has an accident. Demeter said to Hestia with a sad face and a sob.

Hestia looked surprised: "What's the matter, hasn't Persephone always lived with you in Sicily?" She knew very well that her sister had always regarded Persephone as a treasure in her hand, and took her to live in seclusion in Sicily, lest something happen to her.

Like the other goddesses, Persephone was so fond of flowers that she even spent her days frolicking among the wildflowers. One day, she was picking flowers in the fields of Sicily, when suddenly a crack opened in the cliff, and Hades drove out of it in a golden carriage, and Hades fell in love with Persephone for the first time. Since she can't get her mother, let her be your wife. So he forcibly put Persephone in the carriage and drove back to Hades.

When Demeter heard his daughter's cries for help and rushed to the field, her daughter was long gone. Demeter searched all of Sicily, but in the end found nothing. In desperation, she was depressed all day long, and abandoned her duties, causing all the crops on the island to wither, and the whole island to become lifeless and barren.

On that day, Helios, the sun god who drove in the air every day, saw what was happening, and he could not bear to continue to suffer the inhabitants of the island, so he told Demeter of Persephone's whereabouts.

When Demeter heard the news, he immediately went to Zeus, the god-king, his other brother and Persephone's biological father, and asked him to help him reclaim Persephone. Who knows, Zeus, the god-king who was once madly infatuated with Demeter, learned that his daughter was taken away by Hades, and sat on the throne without saying a word.

And her other sister, Hera, the queen of God, constantly persuaded her to give up on finding Persephone. In this way, she will be able to become the wife of Hades and half of the rulers of Hades.

Demeter, who was desperate and desperate for them, could only run to her sister Hestia for help.

"You really don't understand the nature of our god king, for the sake of his throne, let alone his daughter, it is estimated that even his wife Hera, he can give up. After listening to Demeter's speech, Styx sneered: "But Hera, the queen of gods, and he are really a good match, but I hope that one day, Zeus will sacrifice her to keep the throne of the god king." ”

Hestia glanced at Styx and comforted her sister Demeter: "Don't blame Zeus, although he sat on the throne of the god king, but there are many primeval gods, the god Titan has malicious intentions, he may be removed from the throne of the god king by the gods at any time, and his life is not guaranteed." Our family is inferior to the Titans, who have many brothers and great children, and must be cautious. And the two sisters have no power and cannot help him, he can only rely on the strength of Poseidon and Hades. At such a time, it is impossible for him to fight Hades, otherwise he will definitely give the enemy a chance to take advantage of it. ”

"What you say, I understand, it's just my Persephone, she's not yet twenty years old, is she going to stay in that dark underworld for the rest of her life? At this, Demeter could not help but shed tears again.

After the decade-long war of the Titans, Hades, as the king of Hades, pursued him madly, but Demeter did not like this gloomy brother and chose Zeus, a handsome and confident brother. Since then, Hades has been jealous of her and has never associated with her again.

The beauty was in tears, and even Adros felt sorry for her, not to mention her own sister.

Seeing her sister so sad, Hestia moved her mind, stood up, looked to the west, and said silently in her heart: "Hades, don't make your sister embarrassed." ”

"Let's go, I'll go to the underworld with you, and ask Hades for an explanation, what's the use of crying. Then, he turned to Styx and said, "Sister Styx, I don't have time to entertain you, do you want to go back to the underworld with us, or continue to play?"

"Of course, I'm also back to Hades, you're gone, what am I still doing here. ”

"Thank you, Sister Hestia, thank you, Sister Styx. Demeter was moved, she knew a little bit about the strength of these two goddesses, and the three of them went to Hades together, and Hades couldn't help but give in.

Stix stretched, "Don't thank me, I'm not here to help you fight." It's been so long, it's time to go home and have a look, and I don't know if my river is rising?"

Ignoring Styx's jokes, Hestia was slightly moved in her heart, and she understood that this sister was worried that she would suffer in the underworld.

On the side, Adros, who has been completely ignored, is in a state of flux, and is finally going to the underworld.

······

It is said that after death, one needs to walk through a period of darkness before reaching the entrance to the underworld. At this time, Adros was following the three goddesses in this place of eternal darkness called Erepos.

This land of eternal darkness is named after the Nether God, the Lord of Darkness, Erebos, and is the world he created with his great supernatural powers. Erebos is the son of the Chaos God Kaos, the brother of Gaia, the Earth Mother, and the husband of the goddess Nix, the Lord of the Night. He slept in his kingdom all year round, but no one dared to disrespect the gods who came and went.

In the land of eternal darkness and silence in Erepos, his master had told the gods that they could walk through it at will, but they could not speak in it or make any fire, or they would be punished by darkness.

I don't know how long it took, but the few of them finally passed through the extremely dark Erepos and came to the gate of the territory. Whether it was Adros or the three goddesses, they all felt relieved, and it was so depressing to shuttle through that darkness.

Adros did not expect that after the dark kingdom of Erebos, before the gates of hell, there would be such a beautiful garden. In the garden, flowers of all seasons are blooming, and you can't see such a beautiful scenery in the world. He didn't know that in this terrifying garden, there were not only flowers, but also countless monsters and beasts, but under the divine power of the three goddesses, they did not dare to come out. At the end of the garden is the famous gateway to hell.

In front of this black, patterned door lay a terrifying monster, with many heads, a snake's tail, and a poisonous snake coiled around its neck, and all its eyes closed, sleeping. When Adros saw it, his heart moved, is this the watchdog of hell, it is really ugly enough.

As if awakened by the dream, the monster began to roar before it opened its eyes: "Who dares to disturb Uncle Ben's dream?"

When it opened its eyes, it found that Styx was looking at it with a smile on his face, and with a cold light in his eyes, he hurriedly trotted over and lay next to Styx like an ordinary puppy.

"It turns out that the beautiful and noble Lord Styx has returned, and I am very congratulated on hearing that your sister and the new Lord of the Sea have been married. He spoke in a very flattering voice, and wanted to rub one of his heads against Styx's calf like a human puppy.

"You've been guarding the gates of hell all day, how do you know about this?" Seeing this, Stix quickly kicked it open, as if disgusted that it was dirty.

Seeing this, Adros covered his forehead, the more he knew about the beautiful goddess aunt, the longer he was in contact, the more he could discover her true nature, and behind the dignified atmosphere, there seemed to be the attribute of a witch.

"Your Excellency, you don't know, since that wedding, from time to time there have been water monsters of the sea who have died, and even a few gods and goddesses, who have come here and talked to me for a few words, so I know. The monster stood a dozen paces away from Styx and answered her question, but did not dare to move any further, for fear of being kicked by her again.

"Two sisters, this is Cerberus, the son of Typhon, who Tartarus sent to guard the gates of hell. ”

Typhon was the son of Gaia, the Mother of Earth, and Tartarus, the Lord of Hell, and the Ancestor of Demons, and his wife Eccad gave birth to countless terrifying monsters, one of which was Cerberus.

Hestia glanced at it lightly: "Don't worry about it, let's go find Hades quickly." After saying that, he walked inside, and the other three immediately followed.

After they entered, Cerberus shuddered, and said to himself: "The goddesses are really so terrifying, wait for Hades to bear it." Should I notify him? Forget it, if you don't notify you, you will be punished by Hades at most, and if you do, you will be gone. ”

As soon as you step into the underworld, you will see a black river in front of you, and an old man with a full beard is holding a small boat to lead the undead.

It's just that Adros found that only by giving gifts to this old man could he be led across the river, and those who didn't give him gifts were gathered at the ferry and waited. He asked Styx next to him, and learned that the men would have to wait a year before they could cross the river.

This is the Akron, the river of pain among the four rivers of the underworld, the other three being the Churi Pulugton River of Remorse, the River of Oblivion, the River of Lert, and the River of Wrath and Oath of Styx. The first three are the rivers that mortals must pass through after death, and the Styx River governs the oath of all living beings, including the gods.

Demeter looked at the boatman and sneered: "I didn't expect that Hades's servants are all living so well in the underworld. ”

"Sister Demeter, we are born gods, and we may not understand the pain of mortals every time they cross this river, and this servant named Charon has to go through it a thousand times a day, and he should receive some benefits. Styx explained.
