“But my archery and many other things were taught to me by you, Kama.”
"...Hmph, that's true. What you've learned is just the tip of the iceberg. I can't help but laugh when I see it."
Encouraged once again, Kama rose and stepped into the dark cave in the sight of the silver-haired youth.
After entering Kama, he met Sati, who was now Parvati, just inside the cave entrance.
"Goddess Parvati, to help you succeed, my arrows will be filled with love, beauty, and desire to assist you."
As Kama spoke, he raised his arrow of love, saying, "I will begin with the arrow of 'jasmine'."
So the arrow named 'Jasmine' was shot into Parvati's head, and countless flowers immediately fell down.
"It seems that everything in the universe is wishing this lira success..."
After being cleansed by the snow-capped mountains, Parvati, wearing a long blue dress and with purple hair, murmured to herself.
“Goddess Parvati, these flowers contain all the fragrance of time. When you offer these flowers to the heavens, their hearts will be filled with fragrance, and at the same time, they will immediately generate strong desires.”
"I am extremely grateful, Kama."
Upon hearing this, Parvati smiled slightly at Kama, then put her hands together and headed towards the cave.
As she moved forward, Kama revealed a 'white lotus' arrow in his hand and shot it toward Parvati.
This 'white lotus' arrow will pave a path of love, along which Parvati will walk step by step to the side of Mahamati, awakening him from his asceticism. During this time, Kama will also shoot arrows everywhere, filling the dark cave with all kinds of colorful and bright flowers, and then shoot an arrow at Parvati.
Finally, Parvati approached Shiva, who was meditating with his eyes closed, and placed the flower she had received from Kama in his hand:
“Great God, today I once again beg you to be my husband. Now please leave your meditative state and bless me, with the witness of this snow mountain and the blessing of my father.”
This is the perfect time for Kama to use the arrow of 'obsession'.
According to traditional accounts, Kama only shot this one arrow at the end, but in the Tibetan version, Kama shot five arrows. The first two confused Shiva's senses, the latter two affected his mind, and the last one interrupted Shiva's meditation.
Kama then raised the arrow of love, preparing to shoot it at Shiva in meditation, but subconsciously felt a little afraid. However, after encouraging himself, he resolutely shot five arrows in one go.
In an instant, the arrow hurtled toward Shiva.
That was exactly how Kama, the god of love, bestowed his blessing of love.
The intense light and sound lasted only a moment before the five arrows quickly merged into one.
At the same time, Shiva, who seemed to sense the approaching arrow, suddenly began to move, even though he was not supposed to be moving at all during meditation. It seemed that an uncontrollable rage had arisen during his meditation.
At that very moment, just as Kama's arrow was about to pierce Shiva's forehead eye—
Da Tian's third eye opened.
Anger was born.
They attacked directly in the direction from which the arrow had come, which was where Kama was located.
Parvati was frightened, but she reached out to try to stop it all, though she only managed to stop a little bit.
Kama was helpless and could only watch as Shiva's wrath rushed toward him, unable to move an inch.
What was Kama thinking at that moment?
"...Isn't this going too far?"
With tears streaming down his face, Cupid turned to gaze at the light at the cave entrance and murmured something.
That is, you can know the pain just by looking at the rapidly burning flames, and breathe as if swallowing needles and thorns. The so-called anger is the opposite of the great pain, pitifully faint.
With only death looming in the future, Kama recalled a time when, after appointing Gavia as the proxy goddess of love, he had secretly followed behind him out of some unease.
As Kama had wished, he wandered through familiar places, passing through small but close-knit houses, gazing at wide forests and singing birds, carefully noting the laughter of parents and children along the way, and watching children playing everywhere, for a whole day.
Although it was just a day without anything particularly special happening, Kama remembered it for a long time. As for the reason, he didn't know. Perhaps it was the peaceful and warm atmosphere that Kama had been looking forward to.
Returning to the present, in a very short moment, Kama was already in tears.
I am about to die alone.
Cupid thought to himself.
I might be the one who should be ridiculed, because I'm so pathetic right now...
Immediately Kama felt all sounds in the world disappear, and his vision was filled with red.
A scorching flame boiled over Cupid's entire body—
However, there was no pain, only an irresistible, gentle, and intoxicating drowsiness descending from the sky. Kama's body swayed, and he gently closed his eyes. In his daze, he seemed to see a scene that was both familiar and strange, as if in the distant past, he had once seen silver hair that seemed to blend into the snow-white of the Himalayas, as well as that face and blue eyes...
Like a flower blooming in the universe, like countless stars twinkling in the night sky.
In fact, in the instant before Eros fell into a coma, the entire Himalayas underwent a dramatic transformation. The sacred mountain, covered in ice and snow, changed in the blink of an eye. Tangible objects grew on the snow surface: vines, bushes, weeds, and tiny buds instantly grew into large green trees, which continued to multiply. The snow-white land was covered, yet it looked like a green field.
Then, flowers bloom.
Like flowers that bloom in spring, revealing their delicate beauty and blossoming in splendor, all these blooming flowers are spring flowers.
Cherry blossoms, peach blossoms, apricot blossoms, rapeseed flowers, tulips, hyacinths, peonies, forsythia, magnolias, azaleas, kapok flowers, roses, calla lilies, lilies of the valley, blue-eyed daisies, crabapple blossoms, gardenias—the last five flowers that Kama loved to use.
A landscape straight out of a fairy tale, where fields of flowers bloom across the mountains in an eternal world of ice and snow.
Looking out, the flowers are like a sea. If you didn't know where you were, you might think you were dreaming or had stumbled into some unreal place.
The soft, drowsy sunlight, the newly painted colors of the trees, and the chirping of birds—all these elements blend perfectly, bringing a blissful springtime experience.
The Himalayas are silently shouting: Praise be to the Lord of the Himalayas.
Whether it was a god, an asura, or an immortal, they all saw love in it—love for the Lord of the Himalayas.
Then, Gavia, who had created this situation, held Kama, looked at Shiva and Parvati who were staring blankly at him, and smiled gently:
"I've prepared the opening ceremony for your meeting and your marriage. It's time to begin; it's been so many years."
"Parvati, Shiva, there is an Asura King waiting for your children to deal with."
Upon hearing this, Parvati and Shiva exchanged a smile and nodded in unison. Although millions of years had passed, the scene seemed remarkably similar to the moment when Gavial was the first person the two of them married.
The only difference is that Sati's father is now the Lord of the snow mountain, Gavia, and has changed his name to Parvati. In any case, the essence has not changed, and that is enough.
So Parvati once again donned the luxurious lenha skirt, and Shiva once again wore the loose, gold-trimmed shirt.
This matter is known to men, to gods, and to the Himalayas.
Shiva's friend, Parvati's father, the man with silver hair, embraces the goddess of love who nurtured him, in the name of spring, in the name of the goddess of love, in the name of the Himalayas, in the name of all beings, blessing their love that will never be separated again.
The air was filled with the fragrance of endless flowers. Beyond the sacred mountain, which had transformed into a sea of flowers, lay the joy of countless wild beasts and immortals, the joy of the beast lords and the joy of the lords of the Himalayas.
"You've gotten married again, Shiva."
Gavia smiled.
"...They're all the same person..."
Shiva turned his head slightly, "Is Kama alright now? My wrath..."
Unlike his previous outburst against Indra, Shiva's anger this time was not intentional but unconscious. It was a natural outburst that arose when his meditation was interrupted, and he himself was unaware of it. In mythology, Shiva only awoke after Kama was burned to death.
"No problem, I'm here."
"Father, you..."
Parvati was slightly lost in thought. "She bore the wrath of Lord Shiva for the sake of Eros... this..."
Shiva's wrath can destroy everything. If Kama were to directly bear it, his divinity would be reduced to ashes, and he would be possessed by the demonic nature of the Asura within him. Thus, when the enlightened one attains enlightenment, he would become the sixth demon king due to the lira of 'Brahman'.
However, at this moment, Gavia experienced the destructive aspect of Shiva's wrath, thus giving the relatively better aspect to Kama.
Simply put, all the benefits went to Kama, while Gavia bore all the consequences.
"Because Kama raised me in this life."
The man's words were brief, yet irrefutable.
Then, as they parted, Gavia jokingly said:
“Taraka will be dealt with by your unborn child, Shiva, Parvati.”
However, compared to the unborn child, Gaja, the god of war, at the moment Parvati tried to conceal the anger in Shiva's eyes, Gavia had already seen the drop of sweat falling from the palm of the goddess of the Himalayas into the earth.
That must have been the birth of yet another Asura King, the blind Antuoga.
……
"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas".
The ram-headed Daksha knelt outside the Himalayas, gazing at the Himalayas still covered in flowers, and continued to murmur in a hoarse voice.
The place was as quiet as a funeral, but as Gavia slowly arrived, the sounds of nature followed: birdsong, the rustling of flowers and grass in the wind.
Daksha perhaps sensed it, so he lowered his head and put his hands together in prayer.
"Given my past misdeeds, I am no longer qualified to ask for your forgiveness, but your glory remains boundless in my heart. You are easily pleased and compassionate. Today, before you, I apologize to you and those I have hurt for my past actions."
Lord of the Himalayas, you bear the weight of all evil in the universe, and you promptly relieve everyone's suffering. Nothing can compare to your compassion and generosity.
He paused and continued.
“Please allow me to make a universal sacrifice for you and for Kama who raised you in your next life. Please allow me to do this so that I may feel free from sin.”
"No need, Dasha, go home early."
Gavia said with a smile, "I have already forgiven you, after all, Shiva is not entirely without fault."
The moment the words were spoken, something changed.
Ancient curse, vanish!
Sweet punishment, let it all vanish into nothingness.
Dasha's sheep head disappeared, and things returned to normal.
Sensing this change, Dasha immediately looked up, only to find that Gavia had vanished. He could only shout repeatedly:
"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas!"
"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas!"
"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas!"
"Homage to the Lord of the Himalayas!"
……
Finally, when everything was over, and when Gavia was about to leave the Himalayas.
Furido, who had been waiting outside the snow mountain for a long time, rushed towards him as soon as he saw him.
"Waaaaah, my Lord, you've finally returned! I've waited for you for so many years, waaaah..."
Upon noticing the changes in the Himalayas, Felid suspected that his master had returned, otherwise the Himalayas would not have behaved this way.
And just as she expected, it turned out to be...
Why is the master still holding Kama? Could it be that the master's reincarnation has some connection with this little devil Kama?
Perhaps sensing Phrixus's confusion, Gavia looked at Kama in her arms and said:
“Kama is my parents in my reincarnation.”
Why are they called parents, and not father or mother? This is mainly Kama's question.
At first, Kama referred to himself as Gavia's father, then her mother, and finally said, "I am your father and mother." Gavia then complied with the god of love's statement, since to him it didn't matter which title he used.
"Would you like to come with me?"
Gavia said this to his retinue, who had guarded the sacred mountain for millions of years.
"Absolutely!!!"
Felido nodded vigorously, then transformed into a small, blue-black snake and lay on Gavia's shoulder, flicking its tongue.
Chapter 307 There is a name that only you, Kama, know.
The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the familiar ceiling.
"...I'm actually alright...?"
Kama's lips parted in a mixture of astonishment and surprise.
The god of love never expected that he would survive Shiva's wrath...
