There was once a man who was a very good musician. He was loved by everyone. He had a melodious voice and could play any musical instrument. He was really considered very talented by everyone. He loved a woman whom he married later on. One day when he was out, his wife went to their garden. She was picking some flowers as usual and then suddenly she was bitten by a poisonous snake. She fell down instantly and from that spot she died instantly. When the man came home, he was surprised because he could not find his wife. He looked everywhere and found her lying on the grass. She was already dead. He cried and grieved. He regretted that he was not there to protect her.
The Gods and Goddesses knew about his grief and told him that he can still get his wife back as long as he will follow what they tell him to do. The man quickly prepared for his journey. He talked to them. They told him that he can go to the Underworld and take her soul back to her body. But in order to do that, you must first tame the three-headed dog, Cerberus that guards its gates. After that you can already look for your wife’s soul but you must remember not to look at her while you’re still in the darkness because if you do, she would disappear for-ever.
He knew what he had to do and decided to go to the Underworld. He brought his lyre and when he was on the gate of the Underworld, he saw the three headed dog and played his lyre. The dog quickly fell asleep and he seized that moment to go inside and look for the soul of his wife. He was lucky enough to find it and was able to bring her back. While they were walking, only a few miles away from the light, He could not resist looking at her. He thought that she has finally stepped into the light but sadly, she hasn’t so when he looked back, she disappeared for all eternity. He came back to the world of the living as a broken man. He was never complete again...
Forever gone, forever you...
