Myth: The Spiritual Dominator

"An old woman walking across the moors?"

In the palace of Eleusis, the majestic and steady king confirmed to his daughters again, and he also received a positive answer.

The old woman called herself Moir. She lived in this remote country because of an accident.

She hopes that the king here will allow her to stay here for a while, and she is willing to do some work within her ability in return for living here.

Of course, Kelius would not believe this.

Many years have passed since the Great Flood, and alien beasts migrating from other parts of the earth have reoccupied the wilderness. Those who can walk alone in different cities in this era are often those who have broken the limits of mortals and possess incredible abilities.

Like the father of Cyrus, the founder of Eleusis, he existed like this during his lifetime. It was precisely because of his leadership that this human team did not perish on the road.

But precisely because of this, the king knew very well what kind of power they had and what characteristics they had. But according to his daughter's description, the other party doesn't seem to be such a strong person, at least not like the direction of human cultivation.

After excluding this, there are not many possibilities left.

The legend of witchcraft has not yet been spread among the new generation of humans, so the first thing Kelius thought of was the messenger of the gods - or even the gods themselves.

Such a being came to his country... Thinking of the people who are suffering from disasters today, the king solemnly told his daughter:

"You've done a good job... Since she wants to stay here and doesn't want us to find out her identity, let's do our best to satisfy her."

"No matter who she is, as long as we make no mistakes, it will not lead to disaster. Let's go prepare the dinner and bring out our best things."

"Yes, father."

Hearing this, the three daughters nodded in agreement. Under the arrangement of Cleus, they went to prepare the dinner, which was a banquet that had been prepared for a long time.

It was originally meant to celebrate the birth of Demophon, the second son of Cleus, but now it can also be used to welcome this mysterious woman from afar.

As for Cyrus himself, he had more important things to do. In order to prevent someone from accidentally offending Moir, he must warn everyone who comes into contact with her in advance not to seek merit, but to seek no fault.

……

The Palace of Eleusis, where previous kings once lived.

"Thank you for your hospitality. You are such a kind person."

He uttered words of thanks, and then signaled to the other party that he could leave as if he was waving away a servant. Until now, Moir hadn't even noticed what the mortal king's daughter was called.

After the other party left, Moir looked at the residence. It was very simple, but it was the best place among mortals, so she sat on the chair, quite satisfied with the reception she received.

"It's barely liveable... but it's a pretty good country."

Although her disguise was full of holes in the eyes of others, Moir herself thought she was doing a good job. No one noticed that she was different. Everything they did was from their heart. After all, in her perception, the wilderness was very safe, and she had tried her best to 'humble'.

Under such circumstances, it was indeed beyond her expectation that the daughter of the king of this human country could treat her with such courtesy.

"Hmm...probably just the preferential treatment I receive as a guest."

"There's nowhere to go anyway, so I'll just stay here for a while. I wonder what kind of job they will arrange for me, and what is the life of a mortal like?"

Moir, or Demeter, the goddess of fertility, finally recovered a little from her sadness and became a little interested in everything in front of her.

Since the War of the Gods, the goddess in charge of the growth of all things has remained on Mount Olympus. This is not because she likes it here, it's just that Demeter can feel a little safe on the sacred mountain.

Not to himself, but to his daughter Persephone. The daughter that Zeus forcibly gave birth to was not disgusting to Demeter. On the contrary, she valued this child so much. But what worries the goddess is that her daughter's magical power is so weak, and her appearance is so beautiful.

So Demeter raised her in a valley called Enna and asked the nymphs to take care of her and grow up. In order to prevent the gods from discovering her whereabouts, even the goddess herself rarely visited her.

This was even more true after the war between gods. The goddess didn't want Zeus to discover the whereabouts of her child, so she suppressed her emotions and never visited her. Until this day, missing her daughter made Demeter quietly walk down the sacred mountain and come to that hidden valley, but the result was that she was disappointed.

There was already nothing there, neither Persephone nor the nymphs he captured were here.

It was as if no one had lived in this valley for hundreds of years, showing desolation and desolation everywhere. This made the goddess panic instantly, and the scene in front of her reminded her of her own past.

So in panic, Demeter stopped the silver chariot traveling at night. She sought a prophecy from the goddess of the magic web who was said to be able to use the stars to predict the future. For unknown reasons, Hecate also responded to her.

"According to the astrology, it happened at dusk after a rain, at the turn of day and night."

"The moon hasn't risen yet but the sun hasn't set yet. That's the answer I can give you."

The words of the Goddess of the Magic Network were highly suggestive, so Demeter got an accurate prediction and left in a hurry. She stopped the Sun God when the sun was about to rise and asked him everything he had seen. Under her questioning, Helios concealed it at first, but in the end he had no choice but to tell her the result.

"I don't know why such a thing happened... Your Highness Demeter, I only saw that on that day, in the hidden valley you mentioned, the earth cracked open, and the Lord of the Underworld took her away in a chariot. .”

Finally getting the whereabouts of her daughter, the goddess couldn't help but feel angry about it. She immediately returned to Olympus and asked Zeus to punish Hades and bring Persephone back to the world.

However, what shocked her was that the God King rejected her request because he had promised Pluto a condition, and now it was time for him to fulfill his promise.

So in the palace of Mount Olympus, the angry Demeter took off her golden staff and inserted it in front of the throne of her chief god. She uses the artifact as a medium to use her own authority to issue orders to all things, ordering them to stop growing and to wither and decay.

"Bring my daughter back to the world, Zeus, otherwise, whatever you gain now, you will lose it one by one!"

Putting aside a harsh word, Demeter left the sacred mountain. From then on, the earth lost its harvest, and unless Persephone returned to Olympus, she would never give in.

She believed that after the gods realized the benefits of faith, they would never want to lose it again, and what she was asking for was not their benefit, but just her daughter back.

This is a reasonable request, and in the end, the gods will definitely compromise.

"...For this period of time, just stay here."
