Two lights in the darkness
EP 3. The First Step to Salvation
"Are you sure you've packed your bags? I can't see anything. What are you going to do?"
루케온
I'm fine. Mom, you need to take care of yourself too, right?
"Don't worry about me. I'm just afraid you might get up."
루케온
Don't worry, I'm still a businessman.
루케온
I've been to almost all the places, so I'm used to it.
"That's a relief."
루케온
...what...?
Hwaruk-
루케온
Ugh...!!
After a man's voice was heard, flames suddenly burst out, illuminating the house.
And surprisingly, the fire was held in a man's hand.
루케온
...Bu...Bu...?
"Heh... Lord Hephaestus!!"
When his mother, who had come to her senses, saw him freely controlling fire, he immediately recognized that it was Hephaestus, the god of fire, and bowed his head.
Luceon, who belatedly realized the situation, also bowed his head following his mother.
루케온
What happened to Hephaestus...
헤파이스토스
It is Zeus's command.
헤파이스토스
While you are away from home, I will keep the lights on in your house to serve your mother.
루케온
...!!!
루케온
Is that, is that really true...?
헤파이스토스
Don't make promises you can't keep.
헤파이스토스
I swear on the River Styx.
루케온
ah...
I swear on the River Styx that even a god cannot break an oath once it is made...
루케온
Thank you...! Thank you so much!!
헤파이스토스
Okay, get ready to leave. I don't want this darkness to last forever.
루케온
all right!
헤파이스토스
...
헤파이스토스
You have a good son.
A moment later, Luceon stood at the door, fully loaded with food, clothes, and weapons.
And in his right hand he held a torch given to him by Zeus.
루케온
......
헤파이스토스
Why are you afraid?
Hephaestus spoke to Luceon, who was hesitating and unable to leave the room.
Even though I tried to reassure my mother by telling her not to worry, I couldn't help but feel very scared.
루케온
..what happens if I don't come back?
루케온
Our house is bright now because there's a light... but if we go there without thinking and get lost...
루케온
...then wouldn't the world become irreversible?
헤파이스토스
...
헤파이스토스
Don't worry. Zeus won't just leave you to die.
헤파이스토스
Don't worry, that torch isn't just any ordinary torch.
루케온
...
루케온
All right.
루케온
Mother, please take care of yourself until I get back.
"Okay. You be careful too."
루케온
...then...
Squeak-
widely-
루케온
...
As I opened the door and came out, darkness fell again.
Perhaps because it had been a long time since I had seen the light, my eyes had become numb. No matter how many times I closed and opened them, the darkness remained the same.
루케온
'Let's calm down.'
루케온
"I know the village's geography well enough... so I can just take it slow and steady. Use the torch sparingly..."
Let's go.
