The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a village on Earth,

“Hey, Armen! What happened to you?” scolded someone. The burly man turned to look at him. Turns out, on the left, a man was already looking at him in surprise mixed with confusion.

“Ah. I… I am okay.”

A thirty-five-year-old man answered, though his tone sounded a little stuttering. The interlocutor grew suspicious, so he looked up at the sky where nothing strange was seen there. Meanwhile, Armen was secretly grateful, because the figure of a strange girl had disappeared from sight so that no one else could see what he had seen a moment ago.

“Why are you looking up at the sky with that gaze? Is there something strange in there?” asked the black-haired man, suspiciously.

“No. Nothing strange at all. I might just have seen the wrong thing,” Armen replied quickly.

He took another sip of red wine and acted like everything was fine. While the questioner still did not believe the information given by the target. However, the brown-eyed youth did not have enough evidence, so he, as soon as possible, left that male mortal alone. Armen turned his attention to the sky, where there was only the moon and a sprinkling of stars.

Who was that weird girl? Why could she fly to the sky, anyway? I am sure she was not a human being like me. What did she want from us? Was that weird lady a guardian spirit of the forest? But why have I not heard stories about it from the elders here? I have to find out about her, and I will try to meet her as soon as possible, thought Armen seriously.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

The handsome man began to avert his eyes from the sky, then focused his attention on the bonfire. A man with sturdy jaws slowly took another sip of the remaining red wine. From time to time, Armen was seen nodding to anyone who greeted him by name. Not infrequently, he smiled faintly, then returned to thinking about the girl who could fly.

“Armen, come here! Why did you just stand there all this time?” A middle-aged man called the young man, so the name’s owner turned to him.

“Yes, Dad. I am coming!”

Meanwhile, in a palace in the sky,

A slender woman seemed to have arrived at the door of a room. Wasting no more time, the Moon Goddess opened the door as soon as possible and went inside. The memory of that male mortal being approached by the opposite sex, even if they looked familiar, replayed in her mind.

“I was so fooled because earlier I still insisted on staying down to earth so I could meet him. Nyx was right about him. I have seen by myself how close the male mortal was to that young girl. I have to forget him from now on,” Atvertha muttered sadly.

The girl walked to the bed. After arriving there, she lay down and felt an emptiness in her heart. She tried to close her eyes, even though it was really hard. The atmosphere in the room, including around her room, was so quiet that this moment made the violet-eyed girl even sadder.

“Forget him, Atvertha. Do not put your hope on a male mortal. He was not good enough for you. He had a wife nor a fiance, and you have seen it by yourself. It is better for you to look for an immortal – a god, as your mate.” The two hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman said to herself as if trying to soothe her soul that was languishing because of love.

Atvertha wanted to pour out all the annoyance in her heart. However, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, could not find the right way, so the girl just left all the negative emotions stored inside her.

Suddenly, an aura of horror appeared in it, but the Moon Goddess was heartbroken. She was choosing to ignore it. A woman with long black hair was there in less than a minute. She looked at Atvertha; now, only the back area could be seen. “Are you okay?” Nyx asked without further ado.

There was no answer at all from the interlocutor, so the guest continued to observe the state of her best friend, who was still grieving. “I told you before you came to the earth, but you did not listen to me. Now, you feel for yourself the truth of my words. I do not need your pity words because I already predicted this situation before it would be happening. I already told you earlier, did not I? I know you are sad, but it is too late to regret anything. What would you do, Atvertha? Do not expect love because it can make you stupid!”

Every word the Night’s Goddess spoke felt so piercing in the woman’s heart with thin eyebrows. Atvertha did not want to comment at all because she felt a lot of pain. The atmosphere in the room was quiet again because the owner of the room was still silent, so Nyx could only shake her head.

“I know that accepting the truth is very painful, but I am relieved because you have seen what had to happen. Give yourself some time to heal. You are a goddess, so you must be strong enough to handle your personal pain. If you need me, you know what you have to do.” After saying this, the terrifying aura that had been present suddenly disappeared from there, leaving behind a chill that pierced the skin.

Atvertha tried to close her eyes without intending to do anything else. The terrible events on earth, especially the intimacy of a man’s dream with another woman, continued to be imagined so that such a moment made her even more depressed. “If it turns out that the result of seeing his face while in the cave can have such a painful impact, then it is better that at that time, I would never want to do such an act.”

A while later, in a room in God Helion’s palace,

“Excuse me, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia. I am sorry to disturb you. I want to meet Atvertha. Is she there?” asked the God of War. There was a purpose in that immortal god’s heart. He wanted his beloved lady even though he had an unpleasant moment when that young man was trying to seduce the Moon Goddess, a girl he loved with all his heart.

A well-built man appeared at that place before the parents of the Crossroads Lady. Those who had just finished their respective tasks as soon as possible turned to the guest who had called out their names politely. They smiled, knowing who had just arrived there.

“Hello, Toghnath. Yes, our daughter is at home. She must be in the room. What is it?” replied the Sun Goddess curiously.

A silver-haired woman looked happy because the immortal god had come there, so her partner felt the same way. The husband and wife were now focusing on the guests who were used to visiting their residence. “Can I meet Atvertha, Goddess?” asked the three-hundred-year-old man.

“Of course, you can meet her. But wait for a minute. I would better ask the maid who came to her room so that she can come here, then you two can meet.” After saying this, the biological mother of Goddess Atvertha raised her right hand, and then a purple light appeared from the palm.

That light seemed to get stronger, as if it was calling someone. The two immortal gods said nothing at the moment. The atmosphere in the room became quiet because it directed their attention to the blue-eyed woman. There was no need to wait any longer, and then there was a knock at the door due to the actions of the god’s wife who ruled the ocean.

Goddess Avtexia, who heard the voice, immediately closed her palm so that the light that originally appeared from there also extinguished itself and then disappeared from view. “Come in!” she said.

In less than a minute, the door opened. There, a young lady appeared and then walked towards God’s Helion wife. She was also seen paying homage to the two immortal gods and goddesses. “Is there anything I can help you with, Goddess Avtexia?”

“You must go to my daughter’s room and tell Atvertha to come here now!”

“Yes, Goddess.”
