Two lights in the darkness
EP 6. Final Episode
Luceon groped and grasped the warm flesh. It was a hand, five long, slender fingers.
루케온
Hey... Hey there! Hey!!
Luceon, who was holding the hand, shook the arm and tried to wake the unresponsive person.
After a few shakings, I felt a tingling sensation in the hand I was holding.
"...Who... are you?"
A thin, frail voice, probably a woman's.
루케온
...I have come under the command of Zeus.
"...yes?"
"Really... Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"
루케온
No. I've been looking for you for five days.
루케온
...I worked so hard, and now...
루케온
We finally met.
"5 days... So I've been stuck here for 5 days."
"I desperately wanted to go out, but I couldn't disobey Zeus's orders to stay here. I almost thought I was going to die..."
"Now... can I go out?"
루케온
......
Her voice began to tremble.
Maybe... it's because you remember the past days when you suffered like me.
루케온
Yes, let's go together.
To put an end to this long journey.
Saaaaah-
"ah..."
루케온
...and...!!
As she and Luceon stepped outside, the lights surrounding her body scattered everywhere, dissipating the black smoke.
A world where the sun rises, animals move, green shoots sprout, and people bustle about.
The world has finally regained its appearance.
"...Yeah... That's what the world was like."
"Peaceful, bright... and harmonious."
루케온
...That's right.
루케온
Thank you for holding on.
루케온
If it weren't for you, I would have died alone in the black smoke, in some wasteland I don't even know where.
"I'm the one who should be thankful that you came to me. If you hadn't come a little sooner, I would have gone blind."
"...really..."
루케온
......
Tears welled up in her eyes.
Perhaps it is the overwhelming excitement of returning to a world that is hard to believe, the joy of having achieved the freedom I have longed for.
...I'm also happy like this.
"Oh, by the way..."
"what's your name?"
루케온
...What's my name?
루케온
Luceon. This is Luceon.
"Lukeon... Thank you so much."
루케온
how about you?
"My name is..."
아이테르
It's called Aether.
루케온
Aither... that's a pretty name.
아이테르
...
루케온
...
Under the vast sun, the two faced each other for a long time.
The smiles on their lips showed their feelings without saying a word.
at that time,
제우스
Luceon, Aether.
Zeus appeared before the two.
아이테르
Zeus...!!
루케온
What happened...
제우스
You two have done a great job.
제우스
So I'll give you a little gift.
아이테르
What is that?
제우스
Luceon is the god of light, and Aether is the goddess of light.
제우스
I will give you the status of a god.
루케온
yes...?
아이테르
Um... Really?
The two were left speechless by the surprising proposal.
Giving oneself the position of God was a tremendous offer, promising eternal life, never aging or dying.
제우스
...
Zeus chuckled and answered in a kind voice.
제우스
I swear by the River Styx.
루케온
...!!
아이테르
Go... Thank you!! Thank you so much!!!
루케온
...
Aitherwan Dali, who continued to express his gratitude, lowered his head and became lost in thought.
And Zeus, as if he noticed him, asked Luceon.
제우스
Luceon, don't you like the proposal?
루케온
...
루케온
The position of God is such an honor and a wonderful offer to me...
루케온
...If I ascend to heaven and become a god, my mother will be left alone...
제우스
...
제우스
Don't worry about that.
제우스
In return for raising her children well, your mother has already been promised the status of a god of humility.
루케온
yes...?
루케온
Really...?!
제우스
Then would you lie?
루케온
ah...
루케온
Thank you so much...!! Sob...
Luceon shed the tears he had been holding back.
And Aether, who had been quietly watching the situation, quietly comforted Luceon, and Zeus looked at the two of them with a pleased expression.
In this way, the two people became gods by completing their mission.
The world regained its light.
- Behind the Scenes -
헤라
What was your hidden plan for this incident?
제우스
...
헤라
It's nothing but darkness and light.
제우스
...humans, tainted by disaster, learned to face danger by bringing darkness.
제우스
The way we coexist and live together is what ultimately leads to growth.
헤라
Then what about those two?
제우스
There is a saying.
제우스
"To conceive a dancing star, you must have chaos within you."
제우스
If you just have a good heart, there are good things. However,
제우스
If you don't experience evil at least once, you can't grow.
헤라
So what was the evil that befell the two people?
제우스
Luceon's feelings of emptiness from continued failure and his selfish desire to give up, while Aether's feelings of helplessness and anxiety, etc.
제우스
Anyway, the human world will finally regain peace.
제우스
Because we all grow by experiencing evil.
