Section II
Finally, on that day, I secretly left the Holy Region.
It's already December, right? The sky was a little cold, but the starry sky was even more brilliant, as charming as his eyes…Heh, why did I think of him again? I gently shook my head and quickened my pace as I left the Holy Region.
The village in the distance was bustling with activity. People were celebrating something in the red bonfire. What was that?
"Miss, it's our Grape Festival!”
In ancient Greece, the ancient greeks who worshipped the god of wine held a wine festival at the end of December every year to celebrate the birth of new wine. I didn't expect to catch up.
The red fire lit up everyone's face. There was a basket full of food in front of them. There were dried smoked sausages, shrimp sauce, marinated lamb, and fresh fruits. A cup of sweet wine. The new wine was soft, fresh, and fragrant. A famous singer in the village played the harp and sang a psalm praising God.
A whole year had passed, and so many things had passed!
What kind of people are we? What kind of people are we?
What people dreamed of was the protection of God. When the light given by God shone on the earth,
People were full of vitality, life was so sweet!……
The people sang in unison, their faces full of alcohol and joy.
"May the Pope bless us!"
"May the Pope bless us!"
……
Amidst the lively cheers, people started singing and dancing. The small village suddenly became a dance hall, just like the legendary dance hall that Daedalus built in the vast city of Chronos.
Handsome young men donned armor and various masks. There were Apollo, Ares, and Bo Saidong. They looked awe-inspiring as they shuttled among the beautiful girls. The girls wore beautiful garlands on their heads, linen gauze skirts, and female masks. Some looked like Helen, some looked like the fairy queen, and some looked like fairies. Together with the boys, they held hands and danced happily. The surrounding crowd clapped their hands and laughed from time to time.
Happiness surged endlessly into everyone's hearts. Even I couldn't help but borrow a beauty mask to join the dancing crowd.
A young man greeted me. He was dressed in a simple and tattered cloth and wore an Ares mask. He looked very ordinary, but his blue hair was as deep as the sea. It attracted me.
It was probably because he also had long blue hair. I extended my hand to him and he gently held my hand.
What was this feeling? It was warm, as if his entire body was soaking in a hot spring. It was indescribably comfortable. It was as if my soul had been sucked into these hands.
Unknowingly, my hand gently pulled out and then hurriedly inserted it between his fingers. My fingers were tightly intertwined and could no longer be released.
"What's your name?"
"Saga."
"What about you, Miss?"
"My name is Persefin."
His dance steps were a little clumsy. It was obvious that he rarely danced, right? However, this could not hide his noble temperament and the gentleness that seeped out from his bones.
"Ah, sorry."
"It's alright."
"Ah, I stepped on you again."
"It's okay. It doesn't hurt."
I don't know how to dance, and neither does he. I couldn't help but step on his feet from time to time. He didn't scream or get angry. His body always catered to me and did not embarrass me at all.
He was so nice.
I'm not a beauty. If I wasn't wearing a mask, perhaps he wouldn't have chosen me. But now, everyone was fair. It was just a matter of who the Goddess of Love favored.
The melody of the music slowly lowered. The dance was about to end. My heart ached and I couldn't help but look at him.
He probably saw the hope in my eyes. He smiled and said gently,
"Miss, dance with me again.”
It was as if she had been poured with honey. My heart was filled with satisfaction.
What a gentle and understanding person.
I was the one who wanted him to accompany me, but he took the initiative to ask me to accompany him.
He is really thinking about my face.
After a song, I still don't want to let go; He didn't complain and patiently accompanied me.
He was very smart. Although he stumbled a little at the beginning, he soon became very comfortable. Moreover, after he learned a dance step, it seemed that he was also proficient in other dance steps. He danced lightly and naturally.
As for me? My dance steps are still clumsy, but it doesn't matter. My heart is flying freely in the sky of happiness.
Happy Times were envied by the gods, and they compressed and reduced time in an instant. The flames around them went out one by one. Men and women either parted happily or secretly took off their masks and kissed passionately.
At such a ball, if a woman took off her mask before a man, it meant that she had fallen in love with the man.
Me too?
He lowered his head slightly and apologized. He was going back, right?
"Can you send me back?"
I don't know where I got the courage to suddenly speak. He wouldn't refuse. He was so gentle.
As expected, he agreed.
The moon reflected her silver face in the mirror, and the crystal dewdrops dotted the tips of the grass and leaves, trembling slightly. The two of us walked in the forest, silently.
He doesn't like to talk. I already knew that during the dance. But why? It was clearly at that happy moment, and he was clearly still wearing a mask. Why did I still feel a trace of sadness?
A dark cloud covered the moon. My heart skipped a beat as I gathered my courage and asked,
"Where do you live?"
“……”
"Can't you tell me?" I was a little disappointed.
"I'm sorry. But I don't want to lie to you."
"Then can we meet again in the future?”I asked through gritted teeth.
"…Maybe not."
"..." Tears filled the mask.
"Don't misunderstand, I don't hate you. It's just…I came out secretly.”
Really? Me too. So, everyone was running away…I suddenly took off my mask. When the dark clouds disappear and the moon appears again, he will be able to see me... What if the dark clouds don't disappear? Then he can't see me, right? That's good. With my ordinary appearance, perhaps…it's good that you don't see me.
"Your breathing is a little irregular. Do you want to rest?”He whispered in her ear.
She was probably too nervous, so he noticed her. I became anxious and slipped, falling into the pond in front of me.
I couldn't swim, so I was so scared that I started struggling. He pulled me up, but in my panic, I accidentally pulled down his mask. The dark clouds suddenly disappeared, and the moon appeared again. Silver light scattered all over the earth.
……
It was him! She was as beautiful as the Aegean Sea, blue and pure. The person who was locked up in Caucasus Mountain!
I wanted to call out, but I couldn't. I wanted to speak, but I couldn't say a word. My entire body was trembling.
However, the dark cloud did not listen and covered the moon's face again. The surroundings were pitch black.
"I'm sorry." His deep voice came from the darkness.
" You..." An ominous premonition welled up in his heart. Subconsciously, I reached out to grab him, but I couldn't grab anything. He…disappeared before my eyes again.
Why? Why? He always wants to avoid me. No, I don't think he wants to avoid me. He wants to avoid everyone.
How could this be? How could this be?
The moon was hidden under the dark clouds and never showed its face again, just like him.
