7 – Nereith Nymph Neri’s Melancholy

Port of Pasos.

On the occasion of this seeding festival, the bustling dock was flooded with untimely tears.

“aaagh!! Don’t go! I can’t go! I can’t go!”

“Neri… Listen to me first…. Aww! Hair, don’t pull your hair!”

“I don’t know! I don’t know I don’t know!! Dianes will never go! He will live here with me!!”

A young nymph with silver hair shimmering like a creek at dawn and crying incessantly.

A young boy screaming after being grabbed by his hair while trying to soothe it.

Chiron, the teacher of many heroes, and even the venerable priest of Epharos on the island of Pasos laugh bitterly.

Those who work hard to carry luggage passed by this as if it were heartwarming.

The young nymph grabbing the boy’s hair and swinging it round and round almost cried out.

“It’s coming back! It’s coming back soon!”

“Lies! My sisters told me everything! Human men say they’ll be back soon, but if you go out on a boat,

Never come back!”

“I’ll definitely come back! Kkeueek! Hair, hair pulled!”

“I don’t know! Don’t go! Live here with me!!”

Befitting the name of the sea nymph, Neri shed so many tears that she didn’t know where they were coming from in her tiny body.

“Heh heh. They say he’s a hero. You’ve already captured the heart of the Sea Sisters.”

“When Dianes came to our temple, Lady Nesneria fell in love with her at first sight. What is it?

But I never thought it would be like this…”

“The elders over there! Just watch, drink, and dry them off!”

The two old men were smiling warmly, as if it looked like a children’s football fight, but I was about to die for a while.

Seeing me training in martial arts, he thought it was amazing and asked me to teach him, so he taught me a few tricks and tricks in moderation.

“It is the responsibility of a hero to embrace a woman and take responsibility for it.

I met my best friend after a long time, so let’s talk for a while. I’ll fix it until then.”

“Then let’s go to my office. I have a bottle of wine that Dionysus made himself. I think he saved it for today.”

Unexpectedly, Grandpa Eparus may have been familiar with Chiron. At her grandfather’s recommendation, Chiron readily left, leaving me and Neri alone at the dock.

“Cee… Cee…”

“Hey… Neri?”

“I don’t know!”

f*ck!

Perhaps his strength was exhausted, Neri kicked me in the shin as hard as he could, then turned and left for the forest.

Anyway, my feet would hurt more because I was barefoot.

“… Whew.”

“Hey, Dianes. What are you doing?”

“What is it, man?”

The wharf man who was watching this quietly smiled and slapped my back.

“Ouch!”

“The beautiful young lady ran away crying, I have to chase after her quickly!”

“No, Neri doesn’t listen to anything when she’s angry…”

“This guy talks a lot! Didn’t he just run away!?”

“Ouch! I’m going!”

I, too, screamed at the poker wielded by the wharf and ran after him.

Nereis Nymph.

Daughters of Oceanus, the great ocean god, and Tethys, the sea goddess.

They are born from thousands of crashing waves and the clearest deep sea currents, gather in the Ocean Palace and create waves in the Aegean Sea.

Their songs calm the waves, charm the swimming whales, and raise a storm to swallow the island.

Nesseria was special even among the Nereid nymphs who were envious of even the heavenly gods with immortal life, mighty power, and immortal beauty.

New sisters born after 200 years.

The youngest brother, with blue-silver hair shining silver like waves on a moonlit night and ephemeral beauty sparkling like a comet at dawn, was the treasure of all the sisters.

But at the same time, in order to protect her very beautiful sister, they prevented Nesneria from leaving the palace of Tethys in the depths of the sea.

From a young age, he saw the beautiful Nesneria and was wary of being kidnapped by horny heroes or gods.

She was only allowed to go out on a crescent moon night, bowed by her virgin god, Artemis.

Anyway, it was not a big city like Thebes or Athens, but a small island in the north of Pasos, and it was a walk limited to uninhabited forests.

The young Nesneria was curious like a young nymph, and although she had limited freedom, she played around the island of Pasos several times under the moonlight of Artemis and captured her world in her eyes.

When one day her limbs grow like those of her sisters and her beautiful hair falls down to her waist, she captures this overflowing inspiration in her songs to comfort the sailors and make the waves dance.

Then one day, Nesneria, who came up with her sisters to Passos Island with the crescent moon as usual, came deeper into the forest alone than usual.

The forest, which was always filled with whispers of spirits and animals, was exceptionally quiet, and even the chariot of Artemis, who had always protected them, disappeared into the darkness. .

Her evil spirits or monsters seemed to come out of her darkness any moment and snatch her beautiful woman.

Her strange fear made her run back the way she came.

No matter how much I called out, the older sisters who were reassuring didn’t come, and the forest spirits and animals that I used to play with often didn’t show up either.

What happened?

Has a monster so terrifying that even the spirits have appeared in this forest?

The fear of biting her tail made her steps even faster, and she soon arrived at the stream where she and her sisters often bathed.

“Uh… Sister? Sisters? Where have you been?”

However, as always, the sisters who were bathing in the moonlight were nowhere to be seen, and only the creek quietly flowed.

Could it be that her older sisters left her and went back to the sea?

The fear that creeped up on her head weighed heavily on her shoulders.

She told her to pray towards the crescent moon in the sky if she ever lost her way, but the sky she looked up at was pitch black.

The black sky, where even the chariot of the beautiful crescent moon, the first star at dawn, and even the guardian gods of the constellations disappeared, seemed to oppress the young Nesneria.

She was trying to keep her trembling legs at bay, not knowing what to do, when suddenly a rustling sound came from the other side of the creek.

“Hey!”

Nesneria sat down on the spot, trembling like her frightened rabbit.

The rustling grass aroused her fear further, and as it slowly revealed itself, her fear reached its peak.

“Quaaagh!”

“What?!”

However, contrary to her imagination, what appeared was neither a huge monster boar nor an evil monster, but a certain boy.

A boy with dark hair like chestnut and deep black eyes like jet jade.

The androgynous face was beautiful enough to be compared to an older sister who was especially fond of Nesneria.

“…What is it? Are you lost?”

The first human boy I’ve ever seen.

Ness Neria’s eyes widened at the words that came out of the mouth of a boy as beautiful as her sisters.

From the time she was born, she grew up on a pillar as her youngest child, and from the spirits of her forest to ferocious beasts, they were busy being happy with her when they saw her. Will have received

“Uh…That’s…”

“Well, I don’t know which house it is, but to send a child out to the woods alone on the night before. What’s wrong with your mind?”

Aren’t you a kid too who says that? The word

Reached her throat, but Nesneria barely endured it.

Because earlier, she felt a strange aura that tingled her skin from the boy in front of her.

“Who are you?”

“Me? Um…”

I’ve heard from her older sisters.

It is said that her gods sometimes transform into humans or animals to capture a pretty woman like themselves. Perhaps her gods transformed to catch her?

“Are you… God?”

“Huh? God? What does this mean? No, wait, but, isn’t it wrong to say that you became a child again after reaching a state?”

Her boy, his eyebrows furrowed while making a noise that she didn’t know her English, stared at her right away, then slowly approached her, blurting her tail.

“Uh huh huh?”

The boy tilted her head as if he was having fun, then looked at Ness Neria with her eyes sparkling as if he noticed something.

“Aren’t they human? At first, I thought it was Haenampa. It’s such a pure energy that it’s a pity to compare it to those black people.”

“Ah…”

Black eyes that are prettier than the black ruby ring that the second sister was said to have received as a gift from a prince on land.

Her beautiful eyes made Nessneria feel her heart skip a beat.

Interest and presbytery, pride and envy, memories and memories.

Human emotions that immortals who live eternal life and immortal beings who live long lives do not have were shining in their eyes like sunlight shimmering in the sea.

Enchanting.

These were more beautiful eyes than any jewel she had been gifted like a mountain a while ago.

“Are you a spirit or a fairy?”

“Yes, yes. I am Nereid Nymph of Tethys Palace. I am Nesneria.”

“Elf?”

“A nymph.”

“Hmm…. Ah, nymph! I remember the talk of that gentleman. Is Nereis the sea? That’s why I felt the aura similar to the sea.”

As if learning something new, the boy nodded her head in amusement.

Then he soon hardened his face and he politely bowed his head and introduced himself.

“My name is Dianes, the great father of thunderbolts, entrusted to the temple of Zeus. Greetings to the nymphs of the sea, sisters of the forked waves.”

As if looking at the prince of a certain kingdom, it was an elegant and moderate attitude.

As he lowered her head, her black hair swayed like a veil, and Nesneria watched blankly.

‘It’s so bubbly, I think it’ll feel good.’

“Huh?”

“Ah…?”

When Ness Neria came to her senses, she was stroking her fluffy hair.

Dianes raised his head with a puzzled look as if asking what he was doing.

Nesneria, embarrassed by those eyes, blushed like a blush.

That’s how the relationship between the two began.
