在這地區當中,有著相當重要的節日,到了那一天,會舉辦一年一度的祭典,祭祀他們最敬重的神,就是掌管月亮的升落、所有人間事務的神,艾樂斯。182Please respect copyright.PENANAIPJAF9irCE
182Please respect copyright.PENANAVXJjCr6k18
居民們相信只要虔誠祭祀月神,月神就會在天界為他們說好話,保祐他們能平安順利地度過每一年。182Please respect copyright.PENANAei9S8Uj7SY
182Please respect copyright.PENANAcSnjQff2xW
夜暮低垂時,祭司會在月神廟前,跳一支祭神舞蹈,為「月之祭」揭開序幕,接著居民們會跟著加入,一起共舞、歡樂,過了深夜時分,祭司帶領眾人舉著火把,走到海邊去乘獨木舟,舉行「追月」儀式,眾人用手撥弄微溫的海水,一同欣賞映著月光的大海及美麗的月色。182Please respect copyright.PENANAe1F51ygpMl
182Please respect copyright.PENANArI8jxWxN3V
到了凌晨,居民們齊心許下願望,希望月神能聽取他們的心願,等到天色漸亮,祭司便帶領他們回去月神廟,抵達之後將祭品一一分送給他們,讓他們帶回家裡食用,這樣月之祭才算圓滿結束。182Please respect copyright.PENANAFpp72MISld
182Please respect copyright.PENANAEhEDxmOBTr
可是今年的月之祭,就沒這麼順利了。182Please respect copyright.PENANACeBvwginEi
182Please respect copyright.PENANAoVDyBen7CW
祭司說,夜色雖來臨,但月亮並沒有升起,無法舉行祭典,或許月神不高興,不讓月亮出現。182Please respect copyright.PENANAC1qxKw7s8j
182Please respect copyright.PENANAfjuo9m9F41
此時,一個男孩走向前告訴祭司,他可以去拜託月神,讓月亮重新升起,回到天上。182Please respect copyright.PENANAT2AFysXKTt
182Please respect copyright.PENANAT2ckEF60PQ
「孩子,你確定你可以嗎?」182Please respect copyright.PENANABChN2Yedn7
182Please respect copyright.PENANAGMpILK39YE
「我相信我可以。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAPuI1DqmKmj
182Please respect copyright.PENANAjDJyDSb7jZ
於是祭司點了點頭,決定交給男孩去說服月神。182Please respect copyright.PENANAqxe9GnsEFw
182Please respect copyright.PENANApbdi9S4hHx
見到天色已暗下,男孩加緊腳步,走到月神廟去祈求月神。182Please respect copyright.PENANAacw81znQSy
182Please respect copyright.PENANAcj8vnw64h6
月神廟裡外全是琉璃打造而成,裡頭昏黃的燈光照射下,顯得格外美麗,男孩緩緩走入,望著矗立在前的高大琉璃神像,靜靜祈禱著,希望月神願意聽見。182Please respect copyright.PENANAJTkQm5BAcd
182Please respect copyright.PENANAiWiACtZby4
「月神,拜託祢,讓月亮升起,使我們能順利舉辦月之祭。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAA8sGZ9VMbF
182Please respect copyright.PENANAELszXWrreY
過了一會,男孩從廟裡走出來,看見了遠方有一處皎潔如月的光芒,便好奇地走過去看看,是位高挑的男子坐在草坪上,倚靠在一棵老樹旁,望著只有繁星漫佈,卻無月亮高掛的夜空。182Please respect copyright.PENANAfzPXO8VQ6d
182Please respect copyright.PENANAjESbFyt027
「你是誰?」182Please respect copyright.PENANAtW3JNA3CVz
182Please respect copyright.PENANASLhsMPluAx
「我是誰,難道看不出來嗎?」182Please respect copyright.PENANANhiqlfHEUx
182Please respect copyright.PENANAtLkbH0goSx
眼前的男子將頭一轉,清冷的外表上,有著稍長的睫毛、高挺的鼻樑、彷彿能看透一切的雙眼顯現著淡藍灰的瞳色、白淨無瑕的肌膚,他的樣貌非比常人,略有些距離感。182Please respect copyright.PENANAC1iFYC3q0K
182Please respect copyright.PENANA5HP3WlM9sN
男孩再仔細一看,男子身穿一襲白衣,耳上掛著琉璃耳飾,還有著極淺的白金髮色,姿態好比像是天人一樣,不如說是天仙下凡,回想起剛才見過的神像,似乎有些神似。182Please respect copyright.PENANAMjIaoBakTX
182Please respect copyright.PENANATmFSLSkuft
「莫非是…月神?」182Please respect copyright.PENANAGutp3hOAep
182Please respect copyright.PENANA9OiqTCcghH
驚訝的男孩趕緊向月神跪拜,畢竟眼前所見的,可是連祭司也不曾見過的景象。182Please respect copyright.PENANAfFsDhG5Ubz
182Please respect copyright.PENANAyEDSriNF2L
一想到有重要的事要請託,男孩便告訴了月神。182Please respect copyright.PENANARkog2kzZ8F
182Please respect copyright.PENANAitKytJRRTl
「有件事要請託月神幫忙。」182Please respect copyright.PENANASIghK0r0Ie
182Please respect copyright.PENANAuMkP2wf0U8
不等男孩說明,月神便回問了。182Please respect copyright.PENANAmqgHbWdfOX
182Please respect copyright.PENANAHS13yYBKj9
「我知道,是要讓月亮重新回到原位是吧?」182Please respect copyright.PENANAbW0by0JguH
182Please respect copyright.PENANA1CS3QJQ05j
男孩點頭回應道。182Please respect copyright.PENANAATOHiIphAP
182Please respect copyright.PENANA4qImVAxs5M
「……是的。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAu6qHg6jYw0
182Please respect copyright.PENANA50lnA64Tjk
不過,月神冷回了一句。182Please respect copyright.PENANAvX7D2PBUmI
182Please respect copyright.PENANA3KwOrMGvo9
「我可不想。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAVvv53vDI2T
182Please respect copyright.PENANAaBMn7ksbnW
男孩不解地問道。182Please respect copyright.PENANARqjjHk0Rnt
182Please respect copyright.PENANAnaggIrnauk
「為什麼?今天可是個重要的日子!是月之祭要舉行的時候!月神,拜託祢了,請讓月亮回到天上,不然我們就不能舉辦了!」182Please respect copyright.PENANAYwuzJBqi0o
182Please respect copyright.PENANAIUrd5ipuyT
月神冷笑一聲,輕輕回答道。182Please respect copyright.PENANAhYX363e28V
182Please respect copyright.PENANA2ygI3itFDu
「很重要嗎?我覺得很無趣。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAB7WbF5R6GD
182Please respect copyright.PENANAdYK5iAF2WH
一聽到月神覺得無趣,男孩便認真地回覆。182Please respect copyright.PENANA65Yjtf8fL6
182Please respect copyright.PENANAq26zxK6bHV
「月之祭一年就只有一次,而且不是只有我一個人很在意,其他的居民也很看重這件事,就算祢不喜歡,我也期盼祢能將月亮帶回到天上,讓我們順利完成祭典。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAFWke2xkQd3
182Please respect copyright.PENANAC7hjYND4gB
月神感受到這個男孩的決心和毅力,便笑著和他說。182Please respect copyright.PENANAi0TKXL8flK
182Please respect copyright.PENANAY5uJyfOzx8
「可以是可以,但有條件。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAjzhv3YTixe
182Please respect copyright.PENANAAvZUXLLXTb
男孩聽到後,臉上展露出高興的笑容。182Please respect copyright.PENANAt2J0Gj4u7d
182Please respect copyright.PENANA67pNXcsntu
「請問月神,是什麼條件?」182Please respect copyright.PENANAWml6NMAJ2x
182Please respect copyright.PENANAe53j1Tx0yC
月神便告訴男孩,自己的條件,就是要求他跳待會祭司在月神廟前所跳的祭神舞蹈,但男孩卻不知所措地看著月神,緊張地說道。182Please respect copyright.PENANABNubT0GhvK
182Please respect copyright.PENANAJDJdykbjOO
「這…不好吧…我又不是祭司,這樣子好嗎?」182Please respect copyright.PENANAWwzYYnYnqf
182Please respect copyright.PENANAqe5BU5PmKJ
月神回應男孩,現任祭司的任期快到了,該要選下一任,而自己下凡就是要親自尋找下任祭司的人選。182Please respect copyright.PENANAflspmo4KJR
182Please respect copyright.PENANALmT0GYwBto
祭司的任期為十年,沒有連任限制,選下任祭司時,必須要經過月神及居民們的同意才算是當選,只要有一方不同意,就不得使其就任。182Please respect copyright.PENANA1Poi1hwe4N
182Please respect copyright.PENANAj1JCTPXHLK
若是現任做得很好,仍可繼續連任;反之,則不得再任,假使在任期之間有出現不當行為的話,就立即革職。182Please respect copyright.PENANAJ9Ux4bswmz
182Please respect copyright.PENANAsUSaQBejHC
「不是有看過嗎?應該知道怎麼跳吧?」182Please respect copyright.PENANAWlxhwVs9HN
182Please respect copyright.PENANAeGPuP2o5dH
男孩看著眼前神情凝重的月神,深吸一口氣,不敢大意地踏出一步,接著憑著記憶裡的舞步、節奏去擺動自己的身體,在過程中,他時不時就望向月神,深怕月神不滿意。182Please respect copyright.PENANAOi9JGybgKK
182Please respect copyright.PENANAYxpMmGFRpu
舞蹈結束後,男孩很擔憂地站在原地,當他聽到了月神的笑聲時,便抬起頭一看,發現月神的表情充滿喜悅,於是放下了心中的大石,鬆了口氣。182Please respect copyright.PENANAMOCJ8vSDjE
182Please respect copyright.PENANAmfOfg0Ecor
「果然我沒看錯人。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAJKiTIml1FW
182Please respect copyright.PENANAYjyOSrUZBB
「孩子,看來你有資格成為祭司。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAcgNZXlGVrd
182Please respect copyright.PENANA4PsFAlBDfu
「我嗎?不太可能吧…」182Please respect copyright.PENANAHVXMiDmRgH
182Please respect copyright.PENANASehXypby8v
月神笑了笑,回應道。182Please respect copyright.PENANA1CW1AWyLou
182Please respect copyright.PENANA0rjeWwgU71
「剛才說的話,算是對你的考驗,聽了你的回覆後,我認為你是有這個資格的。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAlKnlHFduaF
182Please respect copyright.PENANAa9MMXxVLI4
「任職祭司並沒有年齡的限制,只要有能力,而且相當看重這些祭祀的儀式、活動的話,任何人都能成為祭司。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAD0Zb4iq177
182Please respect copyright.PENANADrRLretXqC
接著,月神將月亮放回天空,原先黯淡無光的夜晚,頓時間重回光明,臨走前,月神向男孩說著。182Please respect copyright.PENANAcghIgTtJVF
182Please respect copyright.PENANA0WDqYi9uLb
「孩子,現在我們可說是朋友了,別見外,直稱我的名字吧。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAc8u6pwUmpH
182Please respect copyright.PENANAimQAdNYQ1U
「這樣不行,我是人,祢是神,我們是不能直呼神的名字的。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAT7xEwLpRRG
182Please respect copyright.PENANAnRWYdUYyBr
「我不介意。」182Please respect copyright.PENANASj4lGP9jy8
182Please respect copyright.PENANAPl8pOI8C3Y
男孩一愣,不敢相信剛才所聽到的。182Please respect copyright.PENANAt53t5zvM3K
182Please respect copyright.PENANAeChsw9ryMf
「孩子,期待以後我能在天界看見歷任祭司中,最年輕的一位。」182Please respect copyright.PENANAq0PIrIMEBV
182Please respect copyright.PENANATlddNJEa9P
之後,男孩和月神說了聲再見,這是男孩第一次直接說出神的名字。182Please respect copyright.PENANAzFqtk0lLCu
182Please respect copyright.PENANAVTq9fUtl6A
過了好幾年後,男孩長大了,早已是一個能獨當一面的男人,也是一個待人很好的祭司。182Please respect copyright.PENANAJ6BpDLqQfA
182Please respect copyright.PENANAjMJyAr3Qqc
男人將自己以前親眼看見的事記了下來,本子所記的名稱不是用「月神」,而是用「艾樂斯」來稱呼他。182Please respect copyright.PENANA8E56U5dx4x
182Please respect copyright.PENANAGfMC4AY7yS
男人從許多居民們口中得知,除了自己有親眼見過月神以外,他們與歷任祭司都未曾看過月神的真面目。182Please respect copyright.PENANAzbbIROybY7
182Please respect copyright.PENANAP2RNltDcLl
在男人卸任祭司一職之後,居民們聽聞有關月神的描述,不是透過他口述得知,就是憑藉著月神廟裡的神像及他所記錄的事想像而成的。182Please respect copyright.PENANADNCclBKmyW
182Please respect copyright.PENANAFnf0SLZSOg
或許,月神就只想和男人交朋友,根本就沒有意願要挑選下任祭司合適的人選,抑或是只想找個藉口,來人間玩而已。182Please respect copyright.PENANAVhWZwiO61H
182Please respect copyright.PENANAYciUEiULCJ
究竟答案是哪一種?看來真的只有男人及月神才會知道了。182Please respect copyright.PENANAy2R68mg9pA
