The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a palace in the sky,

“You look different, by the way.”

“Do I?”

“Yeah. Something must have happened to you. It must be a happy and the special moment, so you did not realize that you smiled alone like that.” The other person was deliberately emphasizing the word ‘a happy special moment’, with the intention of satirizing the silver-haired girl.

The beautiful girl’s cheeks reddened as if understanding the hidden meaning implied by a woman who possessed a frightening air. She did not dare to say anything yet, so Lord Havento’s sister could only snort. The atmosphere became awkward. “Why are you silent? Could it be that what I said earlier was true?”

“That was just your prejudice!” retorted Atvertha. She tried to dodge.

“If it was not like that, then why were you silent? Every time you hide something, then you must be like this. Does this have anything to do with the bloody male mortal?” guessed the Night Goddess. She deliberately said it face to face as if trying to guess, even though the white-eyed woman did know her best friend’s secret.

“W-”

The only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, did not want to continue her own words.

Shit! Why am I even like this? Nyx is superb at extracting information, but why do her sentences make me think about my man? Did I do something wrong this time? Let’s hope not, hoped Atvertha.

A woman who lived in the Underworld did not want to prolong the question. Now, she turned her attention and deliberately looked up out the window. The sun was so hot that all the rooms in that palace became brightly lit so that Nyx snorted again, then turned her face the other way. The atmosphere in the room was so quiet because the conversation that had occurred had stopped.

“Have you decided where to live?”

This question had interrupted the young virgin’s reverie, so Atvertha turned to the other person. Now, her friend was looking at her seriously, even though she felt a mystical aura that made the girl with thin eyebrows uncomfortable. However, all of that was ignored because they did not want to provoke debate. “Did you talk to me?”

“Did you think I talked with the wall around this room?” Nyx’s face looked expressionless, but inside, she was already feeling absurdly irritated, so the guest deliberately asked the other person back. Atvertha realized her mistake, so the girl was determined to fix it before it was too late.

“Sorry. I did not mean it. Can you please repeat your question?” The young lady answered, as well as giving an apology to her close friend.

Nyx, who heard these words, did not give an answer, let alone make a comment. She still chose to remain silent, so this event confused Atvertha, who was waiting for confirmation from the other Goddess.

A woman who hated the sun looked cynical but did not want to say anything yet. Meanwhile, Atvertha only observed Nyx’s behaviour, which looked strange in her eyes. “You have caught the love virus. Judging from your behaviour, I am sure this must have something to do with the bloody male mortal.”

“How-”

Before the girl who would become the Queen of Witches could finish her words, the other person had cut her words off beforehand. “Without being told, I can already guess. You never talk about another guy, in this case, the immortal god, so I know you must fall too deeply in love with him. I will not say the same thing twice, so I warn you; if someday there is a problem in your love life, especially when it comes to that bloody male mortal. Do not involve me because I will not help you at all.”

“Why are you even saying that? I am not thinking about Armen!” Atvertha denied it, so Nyx immediately smirked.

Suddenly the eerie aura that came out of the body of a woman who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like night and filled with sparkling lights, became even thicker so that the owner of the room had to flutter the air so that everything would disappear as soon as possible.

“Oh, so that blood-mud mortal man’s name is actually Armen? How did you know about that? Did you come to the Earth again just to meet him?” Nyx asked so many questions that Atvertha became overwhelmed because she did not know where to answer.

The Night Goddess’ expression was serious, which caused the girl who really liked Armen to go awry, and she could not help but remain silent, turning her attention to another object.

In the midst of the silence that hit, suddenly, there was a knock on the door so that the attention of the two immortal goddesses was shifted there. The owner of the room, who had a similar face to her mother, felt that something was wrong, so she suspected something was going on and made herself look for by one of her parents.

“Who is that?” asked Atvertha, full of curiosity.

“Atvertha, it is me,” answered someone behind the door.

When she heard the voice of the Sun Goddess, Nyx seemed to roll her eyes as if she was annoyed with her best friend’s biological mother. Meanwhile, Atvertha felt confused and angry because she knew the woman who answered her question. “What was wrong, Mom?” asked Atvertha further.

“Lord Toghnath is coming here. Come out quickly, then accompany our guests for a chat,” replied Goddess Avtexia, holding back her annoyance.

The blue-eyed woman did not come alone because, on her left, she could see a tall, burly man who was staring at the door of the room where the girl’s crush lived. Meanwhile, Nyx seemed to chuckle because she saw Atvertha’s face, which had turned sombre due to the arrival of her mother and an immortal god.

“Why are you even quiet? Is your room actually receiving a guest?” Goddess Avtexia again asked her own daughter.

“Yes, I have a guest here. The guest is Nyx.” Atvertha answered honestly.

A girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, spontaneously glanced at the woman who lived in the underworld. However, that immortal goddess smiled broadly, as if mocking Atvertha, so that she wanted to run away from the palace even more. On the outside, Goddess Avtexia gasped when she heard the name of Lord Havento’s younger sister being called.

“Do not mind me. I am going home now. Enjoy your time with the God of War. Do not run away from your destiny. Remember, you must have a mate from the immortal god like him.”

After saying these words, Nyx disappeared from sight. The creepy woman did not seem to want to disturb Atvertha’s time with the God of War, even though, in reality, the Crossroads Goddess was fed up with seeing the man’s face.

“Fuck! At a time like this, she even left me. She is a disloyal friend!” Atvertha grumbled, though using a low intonation.

She chuckled softly because she did not have anyone to help in a precarious situation like now.

“Atvertha, open the door! I know Nyx is gone, so do not you purposely stall for time to meet Lord Toghnath!” The voice of a wife of God’s Helion sounded again, so the girl with thin eyebrows snorted softly.

“I do not want to be with that idiot and have to get away from him immediately. But what can I do to make it happen?” muttered Atvertha. She was thinking about all the possibilities that crossed her mind.

“Atvertha!” Goddess Avtexia’s voice rose and began to rise so that, at that moment, it was a sign that that young lady had to obey her mother’s orders, even though she was disgusted to see the immortal god who always came to disturb her.

“Shit! I hate this situation! Mom is very annoying! I hate meeting that stupid guy because he vexes me, and most importantly, he is a damn playboy. I do not want to have a mate like him,” Atvertha determined firmly.

“Yes, Mom. Wait for a minute because I must-”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
