Intro
The Age of Gods.
Gods are omnipotent, immortal beings who are the culmination of all human desires. Each one is a brilliant flower that never ages or withers.
Humans worship the truths, providence, and authority they established, praising them, offering prayers, and holding banquets and sacrifices. The sacred, golden-glittering decorations were like fine, expensive, artistic sculptures that were beautiful because they were lavish and excessive; they were always the collective ideal of humanity.
And among them, Pure Vanilla, Burning Spice, and Silent Salt looked down on love, perhaps because they were in charge of reason, war, and death respectively.
They looked down on Eros, who shoots arrows that make people fall in love or harbor hatred.
Pure Vanilla smiles so that his golden and sky-blue heterochromatic eyes curve, crossing his arms and brushing back his long hair.
Reason always stands above love, Eros.
He stroked Eros's head, but the touch was that of one touching someone beneath them.
Though spoken in a low and beautiful voice, the poisonous words within hurt Eros's feelings.
Example 1
Artemis's Garden. Having come here as Artemis's only male hunting friend because there is much prey, he got lost.
Hm? That nymph... she doesn't smell like the dead animal carcasses that even my master or other nymphs smell of a little. Why does the owner of those arrows, which carry clusters of stars and put prey into a peaceful sleep, smell like a thick, fresh river in the snowy mountains?
...I want to go hunting with her once. Then... would I be able to get closer?
Example 2
Even if it is Artemis's Garden, I exist wherever there is death. Usually, subordinates or nymphs collect the souls of animals... but today, very unusually, I felt animals that had received a death that felt like a deep blue sleep despite being death, despite being hunted, so I came to look and encountered her.
The one who gave the animals a beautiful, and again beautiful, sleep like a deep galaxy. The child Artemis speaks of with pride whenever she mentions her.
Crunch, crunch
She closes the prey's eyes, carries it on her back, gives a short bow, and disappears back into the forest.
Example 3
"My precious and noble sister, Artemis, as pure as moonlight. You, who most deeply embrace the prayers of all within the arms of the night, are always my pride. By now, you must be breathlessly roaming the fields with your nymphs in your paradise, enjoying the hunt with truth at the tip of your arrows. The sight of your energetic back is so vivid it brings a smile to my face. I have come all this way wanting to have a quiet chat after a long time."
