第45章 以希腊神话为题材的作品(6)

——She was wise.But even she did not understand the whole of it.You must accept who you are.Only then can you unlock the doors to your own potential.Embrace your father,and you will discover……powers that you never imagined.

——Where was this father when 80 good men perished next to me?Where was he when my mother was murdered?

——Your father has always been there,Hercules.You were just not ready for him.Zeus cant change the minds of mortals……but he has given you a gift.And be warned,abuse it and it will lead to your destruction.Respect it,and it will save you and those you love.

——You will accept me……love me.We will have children……and you will love every one equally!Wont you?Equally!

——Iphicles.Restore me to my home.Return me to my father.The gods do not want this marriage.I do not want this marriage.Well,it will be.

——Mark me,two moons hence.Or you may take your life,as well.

——Princess!Princess.

——I cannot bear it,Chiron.Im sick of living.

——The gods save me!What would have happened had I not just now returned?

——You were gone for days,with not a word to me.

——Im sorry,Princess.There was a reason.

——You say this to me……as if I'm blind to the moon's phase.

——I know whats in store.

——No,you dont.

——Its me.

——How did you keep it……when you lost so much else?

——Because losing this,I wouldve lost it all.

——Its mine!You gave it to me,yeah?

——Is there still pain?

——Have no worry.

——Where should we go?

——No,not where.Doesnt matter where.Just that we go.And this time,I shall escape him.We will be together……but not in any foreign land.Not in Tyga.But here……in my homeland.

——你带我来这里做什么?

——来认清事实,赫拉克勒斯。关于你的身世真相。你或许可以带着新娘远走高飞,但宿命会默默牵动着你,荆棘般的旅程会让你远离****……超乎你所预料。

——我母后……也曾说过,那是见她的最后一面。她很有智慧,但也只略知一二。

——你必须体认自己的身份,才能开启你身上潜藏的神力,接纳你真正的父亲,将会发现……你拥有无法想像的神奇力量。

——当80名战士在我身边死去时,我父亲在哪?我母亲被杀害时,他又在哪?

——你的父亲其实一直陪着你,赫拉克勒斯。只是时机尚未成熟,宙斯无法改变凡人的心智……但他赐予你天赋,你要小心使用,滥用会招致灭亡,谨慎使用,将能拯救你和你所爱的人。

——终有一天你会接受我……爱上我。我们会有孩子……你会公平地爱每个孩子!不是吗?公平地!

——伊菲克勒斯,送我回家,送我回我父亲那里,众神并不允诺此桩婚姻,我也不想要这桩婚姻。

——婚礼必须举行!

——多谢提醒,两个月后如期举行,否则当心你的项上人头。

——公主!公主!

——我再也受不了,凯隆,我不想活了。

——感谢众神!若我来迟,不知道你会做出什么傻事。

——你去了那么多天,也没捎来只字片语。

——我很抱歉,公主殿下。我有苦衷的。

——你说这句话……以为我看不出来婚期将近了吗?

——我已经知道我的下场。

——不,还有机会。

——是我,是我啊。

——历经这么久的颠沛流离,你怎么还留着它……

——如果连这个也遗失,我人生就真的一无所有了。

——这是我的!你给我的,记得吗?

——伤口还痛吗?

——不用担心。

——我们该去哪?

——哪里都可以,地点不重要。走吧,我想永远逃离他,我们可以长相厮守……但不该在异乡,也不是泰加城,是在这里……留在我的家乡。
