The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A young lady appears to be being dragged by five large black dogs. Not only that, several spirits came from the dead wolves. That virgin was still in pain and could not move much. Atvertha felt pain around her neck but did not complain or even groan. The situation around them was very dark because there was no light to illuminate it. Not even moonlight could be seen there.

I am still safe and alive. Was it really Nyx who saved me? Who had sent these black dogs? Why did they even help? Where am I now? I have to heal myself so that I will not bother anyone, thought the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman.

The forest where she was felt quiet, but the immortal goddess could still hear the sound of her body being dragged, as well as the sound of many feet running and the screams of the thin-browed woman who was reminded of her mortal guy and his tribe, even though her physical condition was not good. “Are Armen and all his tribesmen safe? I want to see them.”

Suddenly, the five dogs stopped running. This moment made the slim girl confused. Some wolf spirits also perform the same action. They even looked up at the sky, and soon Atvertha heard a familiar voice. “Datzha. What should we do? I feel the air of two immortal gods.”

What? His name was Datzha? Isn’t he Beta in the wolf pack who lived in the forest and came to me in a dream? How could he turn into a dog like this? What did he do? Atvertha wanted to ask directly, but the area around her neck still felt painful.

“We try to look down. Do not move, let alone make a sound. We have to take the Moon Goddess to a safe place so that there she can rest.” As soon as possible, the leader practiced what he said so that his members spontaneously followed his actions.

The atmosphere returned to calm and very quiet. However, a girl who could see in the dark saw two figures floating in the air. Goddess Atvertha was surprised because she felt familiar with this appearance, but she tried to remain calm and do what Datzha had said. Lord Helion and Toghnath appeared to be floating in the air, and they were about fifteen minutes from where the virgin goddess and all the wolf spirits who had been helping her were.

“Where is Atvertha? She could not have gone far.” The guy’s voice with amber eyes was heard, and now he looked around the forest. However, Toghnath had yet to find what he was looking for.

“Has she been hidden by Nyx? How about finding and saving my wife first. Once that is done, then we can track Atvertha’s whereabouts.” The attention of a man who carried the trident in his right hand was more focused on his beloved wife, so he wanted the Sun Goddess to be safe.

The three-hundred-year-old young man was reluctant, but he tried hiding the annoyance in his heart. “Okay. Let’s look for Goddess Avtexia.”

In less than a minute, the two immortal gods flew again and left the place. The pale-skinned woman looked happy because every second felt so tense when they were still there. “Finally… they… are… gone,” muttered Atvertha, softly and haltingly.

“Goddess? Are you awake?” This question made the name’s owner turn around, and she was even more shocked when she found out that a large black dog had asked her to talk. Atvertha was still lying down and had not moved from her original position.

“Did I… know you?” A girl with thin lips did not answer the previous question, but Atvertha instead asked the dog.

“Yes, you knew me, the Moon Goddess. I am Datzha.” The dog spoke a language that was understood by the opposite sex and also all the wolf spirits who were with him.

“Why could you… change shape? What did… you do?” The woman with the sharp nose asked again because she could not hold back the curiosity stored in her mind.

“Excuse me, the Moon Goddess. Can I tell you later, because we have to get you somewhere safe? They can come back at any time.” The Beta tried to remind her politely because he was afraid that something terrible could happen, so Datzha prevented the incident rather than regretting it later.

“I understand.” Just as the maiden said that short sentence, she saw two other figures appear there, so the wolf spirits panicked but did not dare to say a word, and instead, they returned to their original position. The immortal goddess chose to remain silent while watching the situation with anxiety.

“Are you sure Lord Helion and Toghnath are this way, Hertinoz?” The baritone voice sounded clear and close, making the slender lady look up. It turned out that right above her head were two immortal gods who had been helping her, and they had not realized that Atvertha was there.

“I am very sure, Havento. Goddess Avtexia’s voice can no longer be heard, and this is serious for us.” A blonde man looked annoyed, but the other god shook his head, which surprised him.

“We have to find Atvertha so they can’t take her away, but where is she?” The Lord of the Underworld looked worried, and that girl decided to say something so that the two young men could see.

“Havento… Hertinoz… I am here.” Those two men looked at each other, and they started looking around as if they were looking for someone.

“Did you hear that, Hertinoz? I thought it was Atvertha’s voice.” A guy who had a height of two meters said to his best friend.

The God of Communication nodded but was also confused because he had not found the virgin goddess. “Yes, I heard it. Goddess Atvertha, where are you? Are you here?” The green-eyed man asked, as if he wanted to confirm that the voice’s owner was indeed the Moon Goddess he knew.

“Yes… it is me. I am here. Look down… and you will find me.” A silver-haired woman answered the opposite sex question. The two immortal gods were shocked, so they looked in the direction Atvertha had mentioned without further ado. Sure enough, a beautiful girl was already lying on the ground with a very messy appearance.

“Oh, my… Goddess Atvertha. Why are you here?” A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-eight centimeters tall, could not understand what had happened to the person he was talking to.

“It is a long story, Hertinoz. I can’t move my body yet.” A young lady who was not flirtatious with men found moving more difficult. This situation made Hertinoz and Havento feel sorry for her.

Hertinoz and his best friend immediately came down. When they were there and were about to help the only daughter of the couple Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, suddenly they heard a sound like a dog growling. He even barked as if to stop the two immortal gods from disturbing Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover.

“Whose dog is this? Why is he with you, Atvertha?” Havento asked while trying to kick the black dog. However, the name’s owner tried to prevent this incident.

“No! Do not… hurt him! He was… the one… who… saved me. Not only him but… they… also contributed… to me.” Atvertha continued to try to answer, even though she had to struggle because the neck area still hurt. After hearing that statement, a guy with a terrifying aura gave up his plans. Hertinoz frowned when he heard his interlocutor’s last sentence, so his curiosity arose.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“They? Who were they?” Just as Hertinoz had said that question, from the darkness appeared four other dogs the same as before and several wolf spirits, which stunned the two immortal gods, even speechless, because they did not expect to encounter a scene like this.

“They are the spirits of wolves who burned to death because the forest where they lived was destroyed by Toghnath,” Atvertha answered while looking at the spirits surrounding him and the two young men.

“Okay. We understand. Atvertha, we have to leave quickly. I will hold you, and Hertinoz will care for the werewolves’ spirits.” The burly man gave the command, which made his friend gape.

The Moon Goddess could only nod, then began to look at the spirits of the wolves who had helped her one by one, then gave a signal through her eyes to carry out Havento’s orders. The spirits understood, and they agreed to what Atvertha asked.

“Hurry up! We can’t stay here any longer!” Havento emphasized that Hertinoz was forced to say something like that because Hertinoz had not yet reacted.

“Okay.” Havento, holding Atvertha and Hertinoz, cast a banishing spell on the wolf spirits, making them invisible to another immortal god or goddess.

“Do not be noisy. Stay calm so you will not be suspected later.” The white man told the werewolf’s spirit and the five big black dogs.

Not long after, the two immortal gods flew away, bringing with them an immortal goddess, five dogs, and several wolf spirits.

A few minutes later

In the sky, two human figures appeared, landing in the exact location. Havento walked towards a house that belonged to Lebrazht Lugthna. Their arrival was noticed by the immortal husband and wife and all the mortals they had been protecting. When he saw the virgin goddess in a terrible condition, Lord Athalamaya let go of his protection, as did his wife. They approached Havento and Atvertha as quickly as they could.

Initially, Havento wanted to lay Atvertha in the house but had to abandon this intention, so he continued to carry the virgin, even though the young man had to sit on the wooden floor.

“What was wrong with Goddess Atvertha?” asked Lord Athalamaya, worried. He saw the goddess’s pitiful condition.

“I… was strangled by Mom,” answered Atvertha, pointing to the neck.

Lord Athalamaya shook his head when he saw that the girl’s neck was already purplish red and there were hand prints, which indicated that the perpetrator had deliberately hurt Atvertha and had indeed tried hard to kill her. The six-hundred-year-old man opened his palms, then said to the opposite sex, “Goddess Atvertha, hold my palms. I will try to use your magick and power to heal your body.”

“Okay, Lord Athalamaya.” Atvertha also fulfilled the god’s request.

Meanwhile, a thirty-five-year-old young man standing next to the Chief of the Agbazarth Tribe had been trying to move one of his body parts for a long time, but this action was still in vain because it did not work either. Not only him, but all mortals also experienced the same problem. Their bodies were as stiff as wooden statues.

Why can’t I and all the tribe members even move, huh? Is this the magic effect of Lord Havento and Lord Hertinoz, which Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea imitated? It pissed me off because I can’t help at all. I was like a useless man because I let my girl fight alone. Armen’s mind was filled with regret.

“How is it?”

A woman loyal to her mortal guy fell silent and began to close her eyes. That young lady felt the energy all over her body, especially in sore areas. Slowly but surely, the Moon Goddess’ body recovered as before. She did not even feel the pain in her neck, which made Atvertha open her eyes.

Before she had time to say anything, a scream was heard, which made all the immortal gods and goddesses’ attention divert there. “Atvertha! I curse all the mortals there so that they all die!”
