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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4EpexOyfH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSl9QYTNK3z
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ALJ64Od0t
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GLIje1SMa
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBcbiQY8xP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DuPjE85XI
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4uayfTLcb
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk0mFZkQkk
可是今年的月之祭，就沒這麼順利了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDcqXHzhgd
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVUPXqU4gZ
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdI3xKT11R
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dKjVDqS5F
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp18guoWLM3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBeVeLmLcl1
「孩子，你確定你可以嗎？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8gnvbaPGj
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rJRIl5S9R
「我相信我可以。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN6aMzm3mr
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99kkh9prGs
於是祭司點了點頭，決定交給男孩去說服月神。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1Z4PU88Eq
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvRH21F8kC
見到天色已暗下，男孩加緊腳步，走到月神廟去祈求月神。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsr6UtXXLa
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjcqgfa0pr
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjfiw1L7uv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJDV7hZJWb
「月神，拜託祢，讓月亮升起，使我們能順利舉辦月之祭。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPS4OpuFP2
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrz3B1rubK
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRucwOzIrLH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZhTMBmPTk
「你是誰？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ128XrrtaP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWrffuC5o4
「我是誰，難道看不出來嗎？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcneq7KGmWB
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1tMj5v5oee
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjqR9ccoRv
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxhoQFUxJg
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhQfJSewkP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPZ4nkMoxd
「莫非是…月神？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JbWOCtWQV
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZmO326brC
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH53snOQDGT
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTV93QeSec
一想到有重要的事要請託，男孩便告訴了月神。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4upVbmXwhK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvg921zaqZ
「有件事要請託月神幫忙。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttsjuQxWBK
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcP32Ve6bgM
不等男孩說明，月神便回問了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWFF0moZ0P
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCPpAZh3ao
「我知道，是要讓月亮重新回到原位是吧？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU6CkRM83Ek
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHWaaNHGTd
男孩點頭回應道。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sqne5GmZ2
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKvl6MA3XY
「……是的。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1ednjAkQe
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUva34fLVLb
不過，月神冷回了一句。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7oxksOOpJ
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQ5JYKM5Lk
「我可不想。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFmpqtHoOE
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf42Klh05A
男孩不解地問道。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cntLoZE2D
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8O0hNOx5Yz
「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！」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gBqd9BYjt
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4rWtyEA7A
月神冷笑一聲，輕輕回答道。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqO9c3NDTR
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzVRiTKzn6
「很重要嗎？我覺得很無趣。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBobOlp9FB
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdKYQY5SkL
一聽到月神覺得無趣，男孩便認真地回覆。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMcY8BGUO6
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03RYnVkRHy
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh30zvcS8qX
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlo54zoHMy
月神感受到這個男孩的決心和毅力，便笑著和他說。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuG3V1dEMZF
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHse5mV5hm9
「可以是可以，但有條件。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsLJl7YULp
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzLEVJ938f
男孩聽到後，臉上展露出高興的笑容。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtStic2EEO6
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCRPdPL1Tou
「請問月神，是什麼條件？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLZDE2gJKk
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAxiAbDaCd
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPu6OdooFw
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKXJPB3Si
「這…不好吧…我又不是祭司，這樣子好嗎？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAeX8a1ZPK1
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4otdwVOxai
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy3SriwDo6
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqwGTPU8vU
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OTZhs5AEO
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoWtsho54s
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOYl48iLzG
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimu1cz7FZF
「不是有看過嗎？應該知道怎麼跳吧？」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKawPcExj6u
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Hoo04M64j
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd47vGfARi4
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe6QOa1HzA
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPJNg8rEkr
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vp9HrdMw8
「果然我沒看錯人。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSv9rvRMOEu
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EUxf3zKZG
「孩子，看來你有資格成為祭司。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnQbrFqax8
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxi7eitMGi0
「我嗎？不太可能吧…」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzhBuQYQZj
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQbxAhOlJj
月神笑了笑，回應道。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibV1j3Kd8x
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3Tu7R9sb0
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz3IBNnoTC
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP1F0LwJsc
「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。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFE9Zmuub4
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVsOHUHVBB
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGKUHK6HIP
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT8eiUjIJE
「孩子，現在我們可說是朋友了，別見外，直稱我的名字吧。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2P4Ft2cFB
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzYI5QZuOM
「這樣不行，我是人，祢是神，我們是不能直呼神的名字的。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNLdjbqsOH
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQfSyEXipq
「我不介意。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLvpWUbOpT
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkuUiuLVGu
男孩一愣，不敢相信剛才所聽到的。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVlyNvcLeh
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdb9Cmesls1
「孩子，期待以後我能在天界看見歷任祭司中，最年輕的一位。」236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7qgU6XI8r
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVfCs8AiuT
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQCEv7pwQC
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHFcj0L40O
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3eVsKVSHg
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVVUO2RTwH
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5qHj6gaq3
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq7xwz2vzQ
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrN2nTb70G5
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkP0pVjG0L
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonKkyAV384
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUR3e4qcAV
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。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuot7rh8M8R
236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyspeqGBhCj
究竟答案是哪一種？看來真的只有男人及月神才會知道了。236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVdQjkKs6k
