The Story of Bellerophon – (3)

After a short but intense walk in the sky,

I, who had already handed Pegasus over to Hermes, glanced back.

“…eww.”

Goddess Styx still has her head bowed, unable to meet my eyes.

The goddess has approached me first many times, but when I approached her, she seemed at a loss.

The corners of my mouth were about to go up at that cute sight,

The corners of my mouth tightened at the creeping voice coming from the goddess’s mouth.

“I… Hades. The incident that happened up there today…”

“…it was not an accident.”

“Huh?! Then… then…”

I decided to take another step…

He moved stealthily and approached the beautiful goddess, and she flinched but did not avoid him.

He placed his right hand on her waist as gently as if he was in the sky… and with his left hand he held the back of her head.

At this moment, the true feelings shown to the Goddess of Oath, more beautiful than anyone else.

Shame, courage, hesitation… all kinds of emotions fill my head,

The result of the smooth, flowing movements washed away all those emotions.

side.

This time, it was not the power of the east wind pushing me forward from Euros, but my own will.

* * *

Bellerophon.

Born with great strength, he originally wanted to become a hero and went to Thebes, but…

He was a man who committed the sin of accidentally killing his brother and was living in hiding under Proetus, the king of Tyrians.

However, Queen Anteia seduces him,

“Bellerophon, will you stay with me for just one night?”

“…I’m sorry, Your Majesty.”

He could not betray his benefactor, Proetus, so he refused coldly.

But who would have known that the queen would get so angry that she would lie to the king.

“Honey, Bellerophon tried to seduce me. He called me into the room and made subtle advances…”

“What, what?! That guy…!”

The king believed the words, but he could not kill Bellerophon because of the custom of hospitality that required a host to be courteous to his guests.

“Bellerophon, take this letter to my father-in-law, His Majesty Iobates.”

“Yes, I understand.”

So, King Proetus came up with a plan to have his father-in-law, King Iobates of Lycia, write a letter to Bellerophon saying, “Please kill the person who brings this letter.”

His father-in-law, who received the letter, will kill him instead.

“So, you brought a letter from my son-in-law?”

“Yes, here it is.”

However, King Iobates, who was reading the letter Bellerophon brought, was also reluctant to kill him directly.

So King Iobates…

“Bellerophon, can you possibly defeat the evil Chimera?”

“Chimera…?”

“He is a troublesome monster that eats humans. I am saying this because it says in this letter that you are a man of great courage and strength. If you succeed in defeating him, I will give you my daughter Philonoe and the throne of Lycia.”

“Is that true? If so, I will challenge you!”

He tried to kill him with the help of the Chimera, a monster that was active in Lycia and devoured people.

* * *

Bellerophon left the Lycian palace curiously, but everything, including the monster’s location, was unknown.

He headed to the nearby Temple of Athena, thinking that he might not be able to deal with the monster with his own strength.

Because he was always outstanding in martial arts and strength,

I was able to hunt a few deer nearby, make offerings to the Goddess of Wisdom, and ask for an oracle.

“Athena, goddess of wisdom, I must kill the demon Chimera with my own strength. I ask for your wisdom for this…”

The news that humans were trying to kill the Chimera, a powerful demon and child of Typhon, was delivered to the Olympian palace through Athena.

The gods above the clouds rejoiced at the sign of a new hero being born.

“A child of Typhon would be difficult for a normal human to kill.”

“Wouldn’t it be possible to have a chance against Chimera if it’s at the level of a card moss?”

“It’s a powerful monster that can kill even the most powerful heroes, so how about giving it a little help? If you send Pegasus…”

“Pegasus for a human? And isn’t Pegasus a creation of the goddess Medusa, a divine beast belonging to the underworld?”

“If I ask Hades and get permission, I can have a human tame a Pegasus…”

“So you’re saying we should test whether we’re qualified to handle the Heavenly Horse? I agree.”

The conclusions reached at the meeting of the gods were soon relayed to the underworld and reached the ears of Hades.

So Hermes, who had received the celestial horse from Hades, released Pegasus into the meadow, and the goddess Athena appeared in a dream to Bellerophon, who was resting, and said:

“Take these reins and go to a nearby meadow. When the winged horse, Pegasus, is asleep, fasten the reins and hold on. The divine horse will become your strength.”

“A winged horse… Pegasus…?”

“And the location of the Chimera is…”

When Bellerophon woke up, he was holding a golden bridle in his hand.

Only then did he realize that his dream the night before had been an oracle, and he ran to a nearby meadow, where he immediately found Pegasus.

The winged horse, completely white, was eating grass in the meadow as commanded by Hermes, and was fast asleep.

Bellerophon approached the beast cautiously.

The sleeping horse did not notice the hero’s approach, and he soon succeeded in putting the reins on the horse.

Turuk-

Purrrrrr! Heeeeeelp!

“Ugh, you’re really rebelling!”

Bellerophon, wearing the reins, quickly climbed onto the horse’s back and attempted to tame it.

Only by completely removing the power of the divine horse, which flaps its white wings and resists fiercely, can it be recognized as its master.

Heeeeeeling!

Flutter- Whoosh!

As the god twisted his body in the air, Bellerophon exerted all his strength in his thighs and hands,

Pegasus, who thought it would be difficult to drop him easily, flapped his wings and rose high into the sky.

“No… the clouds are beneath your feet…! But do you think I’ll give up on you just because of this?!”

A strong wind hits the human hero’s body. The scenery of the sky that he feels for the first time in his life overwhelms him.

The only things he can rely on are the golden reins given to him by the goddess Athena and his own strength.

As it rose above a certain altitude, Pegasus stopped flapping its wings and suddenly turned its head towards the ground.

And then the divine horse, folding its wings and diving down, plans to die with the hero behind it?

Wheeeeeeeeeek-

“Ugh!”

But Bellerophon did not let go of the reins until the end.

Despite the strong gusts of wind, the steep dive from a height looking down on the clouds, and the threat of death closing in on him in an instant, he gritted his teeth and endured.

Purruk-

Just before touching the ground… Pegasus spread its wings and glided down as if in defeat.

The hero, who was holding the reins behind the horse, sighed in relief and wiped away the cold sweat.

In the end, Pegasus, unable to throw Bellerophon off, came down to earth obediently and acknowledged him as his master.

“Guy, now you don’t run away when I come down. Thanks.”

So Bellerophon rode on the back of a celestial horse and flew to the place where the Chimera lived, as told by the goddess Athena.

* * *

When they flew to the place that the goddess Athena had told them about, there was a giant monster that was a combination of three animals, including a lion’s head.

The hero, who had discovered the terrible monster, took out his bow from his back while riding Pegasus and fired a bow.

wedge-

A fierce arrow fired with all its might flies towards the monster, but…

Fight.

“no…!”

As soon as it touched Chimera’s body, it bounced off lightly.

The skin and muscles of the Chimera, which had Typhon’s bloodline, were so thick that they could not be penetrated by human strength.

After that, Bellerophon continued to fire dozens of arrows, but they did not even cause a single wound on the hide.

The Chimera roared at him as if mocking him, spitting out a fiery blast from its mouth…

The flames reached the location where Pegasus was floating in the sky.

Hurrrurruk-

“Tch. Let’s back off for now, Pegasus!”

Bellerophon had no choice but to turn around and return to the village.

Only the very angry Chimera was left here.

Krrrrrr-

Oh my… If he’s Typhon’s child, he’s like a child to me, but unfortunately, he’s destined to be killed by a hero.

A voice suddenly comes from the ground.

Chimera, a sentient monster, was perplexed. What is this feeling of being somehow familiar…?

Krrrrgg?!

Despite Chimera’s doubts, the voice continued to be heard.

From all sides? No… A strange voice that pierces the monster’s mind…

You are destined to die by the hands of a human hero, but the prophecy dictates that you can choose the course of action.

Of the three heads, the goat head, which had terrible wisdom, whispered to the other heads.

This voice definitely feels similar to my parent, Typhon!

I will guide you

With those last words, the red-eyed Chimera started running somewhere.

Bellerophon returned to a nearby village and thought about how to conquer the Chimera. He came up with a clever plan and headed to the blacksmith’s shop.

He went to a blacksmith who was forging steel and asked him to make him a strange spear.

“Please make me just one spear with a lead lump hanging from the end.”

“Lead…? Where would you use something like that? If you make it for me, I can take it with me, right?”

“Of course it will be used to kill monsters.”

So Bellerophon, carrying a heavy lead spear, smiled in satisfaction.

If you throw a spear into its mouth while it’s spitting fire, the lead will melt and enter its stomach, killing the monster.

however…

When I went back, I couldn’t see the Chimera at all.

Could it be that the monster is hiding out of fear of humans? Did I come to the wrong place?

Bellerophon, in a panic, searched everywhere but could not find the Chimera.

A voice came to him. A voice from the sky…!

“Bellerophon, the Chimera has run this way. Hurry up.”

A little way off, on a cloud, there was a goddess fully armed.

He pointed in one direction through his spear and told Bellerophon which direction the Chimera had traveled.

“Thank you, nameless goddess!”

“I am Athena, the goddess of wisdom.”

After greeting her, Bellerophon, riding on Pegasus, quickly chased after the Chimera.

Wait, but isn’t this direction… towards Rakia?
