The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In Lord Helion’s palace,

A silver-haired woman looked angry, but her body no longer emitted a scary aura. She was not alone because an immortal god was walking by her side. “I will not forgive the damn mortals! How dare that bastard ask Atvertha to marry her!”

“In my opinion, we better go to them and talk about this issue.” A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimetres tall, tried to calm the heart of his beloved wife. However, the opposite sex suddenly stopped walking and then turned to the palace owner with a look of annoyance mixed with astonishment because she heard those words.

“I prefer to come there and kill them all!” Goddess Avtexia tried not to raise her voice toward the interlocutor. Meanwhile, the man holding a trident touched his lovely woman’s shoulder and tried to smile as if he wanted to lighten the atmosphere and avoid misunderstandings between them.

“Do not kill them straight away, darling. Give a warning first. If that mortal guy still bothers our daughter, then you can eliminate them all.” Lord Helion said softly, although the opposite sex snorted, not liking such an idea.

“We should not be too kind to those disgusting people, darling! They are truly annoying and have worse attitudes than livestock! None of the mortals are ungrateful because they prefer betrayal and selfishness.” Goddess Avtexia denied her husband’s words, but the wise man shook his head, which made that woman even more annoyed.

“If something bad happens to them, let’s say you kill without giving warning to the mortals, then an immortal god or goddess who is the protector of the tribe will definitely be very angry. That could bring chaos to us, darling. We do not want to fight with fellow immortals, do we?” The Ruler of the Seas still used a soft voice, even though he did not agree with his wife’s opinion.

A woman who had a small tattoo of a sun on her upper right arm could not hide her irritation, although this was in vain because the opposite sex already knew her mood. “I still do not want to do that, Hubby! Stop forcing me!”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

That patient man shook his head, so the beautiful woman suddenly glared at him. “Honey, if you refuse, then big problems will definitely happen. We could be sued in front of the Great God Council by an immortal god or goddess who protects the mortal tribe. Trust me.”

“I am not afraid to face the Council of the Great Gods! All mortal bastards deserve to die, especially a human named Armen!” Goddess Avtexia was adamant about maintaining her desire, but her spouse had not given up yet. A man with a long silver beard smiled gently as if trying to convince his wife not to act rashly.

“Honey, try to follow my advice. If you do that, then I will also bear the consequences. Moreover, we have not tested Atvertha’s abilities, and she has not married Toghnath yet. It is better to be patient for a while so that everything planned can run smoothly.”

A four hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman fell silent as soon as possible as if she digested what the person she was talking to had conveyed word for word. Meanwhile, a gentle breeze was there, touching the skin and clothes worn by the husband and wife. The Ruler of the Seas was still observing his wife closely because Goddess Avtexia had not yet commented.

I hope my wife does not act recklessly so that it does not cause difficulties for our family. I do not have a problem if we have to go to Armen and his family to have a good talk, but if we kill him straight away, the consequences could be fatal, thought Lord Helion, who still had not looked away from Goddess Avtexia.

“If that damn mortal is still bothering Atvertha, what would we do? There is no way we can just keep quiet!” The Sun Goddess’s voice was heard, so a man who had been with her for hundreds of years suddenly shook his head.

“If that happens, then we can quickly destroy them.” Lord Helion’s words were enough to make the woman’s heart happy, even though it was not one hundred per cent. Goddess Avtexia forced herself to smile, even though she was a little disappointed because she could not kill that mortal male and his tribe.

“Okay, Husband. I agree.”

A few moments later, in a forest on Earth

A burly man was seen carrying a pile of firewood, which had been cut into small pieces and tied tightly. He was not alone because there was a middle-aged man with him. He also carried a spear in his left hand, and in his right hand, there were several dead fish that had been tied up. The atmosphere there was quiet, so that they could hear each other’s footsteps. Sweat drenched their bodies, but both of them seemed to ignore this.

A gentle breeze sometimes appeared and hit their bodies and clothes. However, this situation made the two of them keep going, even though the conditions there felt very hot because the sunlight was shining very brightly. In the midst of the silence, the hazel-eyed man broke the ice between them, “Are you still in touch with Goddess Atvertha?”

The thirty-five-year-old man was stunned for a few seconds, then he acted normal again and continued walking in the same direction as the person he was talking to. “Yes, I am still in touch with my lady, Dad.”

That hook-nosed man chuckled in annoyance, and the young man heard this moment, but he deliberately ignored this. “Are you not afraid of the Wisdom Tree’s warning? Your actions not only endanger you but also us and all our tribe members.”

“I am determined to face them, Dad.” A man with thick eyebrows did not want to back down, even though he had a little doubt in his heart.

“You can’t possibly stand facing the immortal god and goddess. You are a mortal like me. If they get angry, it is easy for them to destroy you! Do not forget that!” Norah Bitnantzh’s husband denied her biological son’s words, while the brave guy ignored these words.

A man, who had a height of one hundred and eighty-five centimetres tall, snorted again. However, suddenly, a bad feeling arose in the heart of the Chief of the Agbazarth Tribe, so he felt the need to convey this to the lover of the Moon Goddess. “You can ignore my warning, but if Goddess Atvertha’s parents come here and they threaten you, then you will feel the truth of my words!”

Just as the fifty-four-year-old man finished saying this, the two mortal men suddenly stopped walking because they saw a very strange sight: the sky, which was originally blue, suddenly became dark, as if heavy rain was about to fall. However, it turned out that their suspicions were wrong because from there, the appearance of a man and a woman appeared, and the two of them descended further and further down, precisely in the direction of Lebrazht Lugthna and his eldest son.

“By the God of Athalamaya. What is that?” Lebrazht said, confused. He frowned, and the man’s lips parted slightly because he saw events beyond human understanding.

The two figures descending from the sky became increasingly clear. Both of them looked like humans, but Armen was shocked when he saw the woman’s expression, which was so similar to his immortal lover, that made him froze for a few moments as if he could not believe what he had just witnessed. “Atvertha?” muttered the charismatic guy softly.

Now, two foreign figures descended from the sky, standing right in front of Armen and Lebrazht, even though they were about five meters apart. The air in the forest, especially in the area of the two mortal men, suddenly became cold and eerie, as if the presence of the immortal god and goddess caused everything. Neither of them had started a conversation yet, so the awkwardness was palpable there.

A silver-haired woman stared expressionlessly at the two men who came from a lower caste than her. However, when she turned to Armen, the Sun Goddess remembered the rejection of her only daughter, who did not want to marry the immortal god of her choice, so the Goddess Avtexia looked at him cynically and full of deep resentment. The bodies of the immortal husband and wife radiated light, making it very clear that they were not ordinary humans like Armen and Lebrazht.

Are they my love’s parents? This woman’s face is very similar to Atvertha, but she is very scary. Has my girl told them about my wish to meet? I guess so. But the faces of both of them look like they are not happy. Hopefully, nothing serious happens, Armen hoped in his heart.

“Are you the one named Armen?” Goddess Avtexia’s question surprised the young man and his father.

Without further ado, the owner’s name nodded in response to the question. Anxiety slowly appeared in the handsome young man, as if the opposite sex was about to say something that hurt him. “Yes, Goddess. My name is Armen. May I help you?” Armen answered politely.

I must make a good impression on Goddess Avtexia and Lord Helion. I have to be able to prove that not all mortals are jerks. Hopefully, they do not come here to do bad things because, after all, they are Atvertha’s parents and will be my future in-laws, Armen determined in his heart, even though he still received a cynical look from the Ruler of the Sun.

“Stay away from Atvertha!” Such a sentence made that mortal male stunned, even if only for a moment. Meanwhile, neither Lebrazht nor Lord Helion said anything, but Armen’s father lowered his head when the Lord of the Seas glanced at him as if paying his respects to the immortal god.

“What?”
