The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a forest on Earth,

“Yes. You heard that right. Stay away from Atvertha because you two are not equal!” A slender woman reiterated her words so that the thirty-five-year-old man spontaneously shook his head and made the immortal goddess flinch at him.

“Pardon, Goddess?” The brave guy asked but still used a polite tone. Meanwhile, his father, who looked surprised when he saw his eldest son’s response, was even more shocked when he heard Armen’s question.

Why did Armen shake his head and then ask stupid questions? I do not dare to do something like that with the immortals, because I know they are invincible. Oh, God Athalamaya, what should I do in this situation? Thought the Chief of the Agbazarth Tribe, who was already panicking.

That slim woman suddenly glared, which made the man carrying the trident take the initiative to take over the situation, which was starting to become unfavourable. “Armen. You have to look at yourself. Our daughter is a goddess. She is not equal to you. Do not disturb her!”

A young man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimetres, felt hurt because he heard the firm statement from the Ruler of the Seas, but he was reluctant just to give up. “Pardon me, Lord Helion. I do not mean to offend you, but we, Atvertha and I, love each other. Please bless our relationship.”

“How dare you mention our daughter’s name without the title goddess! You are just a despicable mortal!” Goddess Avtexia shouted at Armen.

That beautiful woman turned terrified because her body emitted a red aura like blood, and the color of the goddess’ eyes changed according to her aura. Her sight was so terrifying that without thinking any further, Lebrazht dropped the things he was carrying and then grabbed Armen’s hand, causing the young man’s belongings to come loose and fall to the ground.

“Dad, why-”

The young guy had not had time to finish his words because Armen saw the fifty-four-year-old man who had withdrawn his hand, prostrating himself with his face touching the ground, saying to the Sun Goddess, “Forgive my son’s presumptuous actions, Goddess Avtexia. Please, do not kill us. Please, have mercy on him.”

Armen saw his father’s actions, so he did not want to say his deepest thoughts. However, Goddess Avtexia, who was already furious, could not hold back her anger and almost killed the two mortal men. However, this intention was not carried out because she was prevented by her husband, who quickly touched the goddess’s shoulder.

“Have you never taught your son’s manners? Is that how you talk to the immortals?” Goddess Avtexia pointed at Lebrazht, who was still in a prostrate position. Anger began to rise in Armen’s heart. That young man did not accept seeing his father treated like that, even though they often quarrelled.

“I have failed in educating Armen. I admit that it was my mistake, so he did the bad action to you. Please forgive him, O the Most Merciful Goddess Avtexia.” The hazel-eyed man accepted the Ruler of the Sun’s accusations and was not angry with her.

I must be able to save all family members, including my tribe. The Wisdom Tree was right. Armen’s actions could wipe us out, so before that happens, I would better prevent it now, Lebrazht said to himself inside, hoping that the immortal husband and wife would leave there as soon as possible and they would not be destroyed all mortals who were living in the Lebrazht’s area of control.

“Goddess Atvertha will soon marry an immortal god. Do not you ever try to summon or hope for it!” Lord Helion said to Armen, who seemed to still be observing his father. However, that young man’s right hand was clenched into a fist as if holding back his anger, and the wise man noticed this situation, and he chose to just ignore it.

That handsome mortal man chose to do the same thing as Lebrazht. A woman who hated darkness grinned, but her husband felt the opposite. He felt sorry for that mortal guy, even though that immortal god did not know why this happened to him. “Forgive me, Goddess Avtexia and Lord Helion. Please do not separate me from Goddess Atvertha.”

“You have no right to determine our daughter’s future, kid! We have chosen an immortal god who suits Goddess Atvertha. If you still interfere, then we will not hesitate to kill all the mortals in this forest, including you and your family!” Goddess Avtexia posed a severe threat so that both Armen and Lebrazht felt great horror as if they were about to be eliminated at that moment.

Atvertha, I will not give up fighting for our relationship, but your parents’ threats are so scary; they make me scared. Are my actions correct? I do not want to let my parents and my tribe die horribly. Finally, I was able to meet Goddess Avtexia and Lord Helion, although the circumstances were not as I expected. I have to find another way so they can approve of our relationship, Armen thought hard, even though he was afraid of the immortal goddess.

The atmosphere in that place, which had been quiet from the start, had now become very tense because of the presence and threat of the Sun Goddess. The two mortal men who were in a prone position did not dare to raise their faces, while the two immortals who lived in the Upper World only oversaw their targets.

A woman, who had a small tattoo of a sun on her right arm at the top, turned toward her spouse, and that man also did the same action so that the two of them looked at each other.

“Is there anything else you want to say, darling?” asked Lord Helion. He used a language that only immortals knew, so the two mortals there did not understand what the God of Sea was saying.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Nothing. I just want to kill them, Husband,” replied Goddess Avtexia, glancing at the mortal guy who was still in the same position and had not moved at all.

“Do not think about him, darling. We would better get back to the palace immediately.” A man wearing the crown did not want to extend their presence on Earth, so he invited his wife to return to the sky without further ado.

“I am not satisfied if we just do this action, Husband. That mortal bastard really deserves to be tortured!” Goddess Avtexia denied this suggestion, but the silver-bearded man shook his head twice. A four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman was getting increasingly annoyed. However, she could not do much.

“We have to go now. We have to think about Atvertha’s wedding.” Goddess Avtexia was stunned when she heard Lord Helion’s words. The anger of the woman who controlled the sun began to dissipate, so the scary red aura disappeared because she remembered her only daughter who, before they left, was still in the room and still bound by a powerful spell.

“Okay, Husband. I agree.”

Not long after, the wind was heard howling so fast that the wind hit Armen and Lebrazht’s bodies and clothes. However, the father and his eldest son were still in the same position with their eyes closed as if to avoid dust from entering their sense of sight.

When that voice had disappeared entirely, the Head of the Lugthna Family opened his eyes and then raised his head slowly. A middle-aged man exhaled as soon as possible because he was feeling incredibly relieved. “Finally, they are gone. Get up, Armen!”

Lebrazht stood up quickly, as did Armen. They shook their dirty hands for a few seconds. A man who had been married to Norah for thirty-six years spontaneously looked up at the sky, and there was no one there. “Thanks to God Athalamaya, because Goddess Avtexia and her husband have returned there. Goddess Atvertha’s parents were terrifying,” he said slowly.

A man, whose face resembled the Moon Goddess’s lover, was reminded of the threat from the Sun Goddess, so he turned towards a brown-skinned young man who was trying to carry firewood which had been thrown away because his father had grabbed his hand. “Armen, you better not be with Goddess Atvertha anymore.”

Instantly, the brown-haired man stopped moving as a result of hearing the surprising words from the person he was talking to. That mortal guy’s heart hurt, so he had not made any comments. Meanwhile, Lebrazht was waiting for a response from his son and for some reason, he had no intention of pressing Armen.

“I can’t do that, Dad.” Finally, Armen was able to express what was in his heart, so the hook-nosed man frowned.

“What do you expect from your relationship with an immortal goddess? Did you not learn from that incident? We almost died! If only when you spoke boldly to the Goddess Avtexia, and I did not quickly pull your hand, then immediately prostrate myself in front of the Sun Goddess to ask for forgiveness, rest assure you, and I will just be in name!” Lebrazht was surprised by Armen’s attitude, so he was forced to mention the services he had done.

Armen ignored his father’s words. He returned to continue the activities that had been postponed, and when he was finished, the brave guy looked at Lebrazht seriously. “Dad. Thank you for defending me, but Atvertha and I have promised that we will stay together. I have proposed to Atvertha, and she has accepted.”

“What? Do you even dare to propose to an immortal goddess whose parents hate our people? Have you forgotten that they just came here and threatened to exterminate you, me, and all the members of our tribe? Armen, you are crazy!” Lebrazht shouted at his son, but that guy seemed to ignore his anger.

“Yes, I am crazy, Dad. I do not want to let Atvertha go, even if I have to die.” After finishing saying these words, that mortal male started walking and left his father alone.

The Chief of the Agbazarth tribe chuckled as he looked at his son’s back, which was getting further away from where he was standing.

“You are so foolish, Armen. If I knew this terrible situation would be happening, I should have married him with Atlanta a long time ago. Now, it is too late to run away. Oh, God Athalamaya, help me.”
