The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few days later,

A girl with long hair is reading a book. She seemed to still be in that position. Suddenly, there was a knocking sound in the silence that had been there for a long time, which diverted her attention. “Who is bothering me? It is so annoying!” she muttered, irritated.

At first, Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover wanted to pretend she did not hear her, but the sound got louder and louder, so that Atvertha could not avoid it any longer. The young goddess finally asked in a rather loud voice, “Who is that?”

“Atvertha, it is me.” The voice’s owner answered from behind the door. A slender woman already knew who was there, so the existing calm was suddenly disturbed and changed her mood.

“Come in, Mom.” Atvertha was forced to let them in, even though she was reluctant to do so. She seemed alert and was no longer reading a book.

What did Mom want to say until she came here? Why do I feel like there is something strange about them? Do my parents come here to tell me about when Toghnath’s wedding will be? I guess so, thought Atvertha, who did not take her eyes off the door.

Not long after, the door opened from the outside. A husband and wife were seen entering the Moon Goddess’ room, and the same door closed by itself. A pale-faced girl did not say anything yet, as if she was waiting for her biological mother to start first. The Sun Goddess frowned, seeing Atvertha’s attitude, but she did not want to ruin the happiness she wanted to share with her daughter.

“Atvertha, tomorrow you will marry Toghnath.” Atvertha’s guess came true because Goddess Avtexia actually said this. That young lady acted calm, even though, in her heart, she was cursing her mother.

“What should I do? Are there any special preparations?” The violet-eyed girl asked the question deliberately as if she were happy with the announcement. Goddess Avtexia and Lord Helion smiled widely and were happy because Atvertha showed no signs of resistance.

“No need. You do not need to do anything for the wedding, because we have prepared everything. Tomorrow morning, two maids will come here and help you get ready.” The four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman answered in detail, and the smile did not disappear from her face, nor did her husband.

“Okay, Mom. Thank you.” Atvertha pretended to be obedient, even though she could not wait to escape from the Ruler of the Seas palace. However, the girl did her best to suppress these feelings so that all her plans with two immortal gods could run smoothly.

“Okay. Today, you must relax because tomorrow will be your happy day.” After saying those words, Goddess Avtexia turned around, and so did Lord Helion. The pair of immortal gods and goddesses left the room, and the atmosphere returned to silence. A silver-haired girl was about to scream, but she thought better.

“I have to call Havento and Hertinoz, so they come here. I do not want to have to marry a stupid god-like Toghnath!” Atvertha was determined, and she was firm in her stance.

In the Underworld

“How brave of you to come here again.” A black-haired man said to the other person with a cold expression. He sat on the throne and was rubbing the head of one of his pet dogs. A white man laughed, more like a grin. He was not offended by Nyx’s eldest brother’s words.

“I am bored in the Upper World, so it is better to come to your place,” Hertinoz answered casually. Hence, the man who had special feelings for Goddess Atvertha chose to remain silent because he was reluctant to continue the conversation.

“Have you heard from the Moon Goddess?” Hertinoz asked seriously, so the Ruler of the Underworld shook his head.

“She had not contacted me at all. Let’s wait and see. I am sure that in the near future, Atvertha will definitely-”

Before a man in black could finish his words, the two men heard a woman’s voice, but it seemed like the girl’s voice was faint, so they fell silent. “Did you hear that?” asked Hertinoz, looking around the room. Havento did not answer, but he seemed to be on guard.

“Havento. Hertinoz. Please come here.” The voice became clearer and clearer, so the two men looked at each other.

“That was Atvertha,” answered the man with a scary aura. The God of Communication seemed to agree, so he nodded spontaneously.

“We have to get there immediately.” Without further ado, the two handsome men who lived in different realms disappeared from there. Meanwhile, a three-headed dog, whose head Havento had been stroking, could only watch his master leave with a sad look.

In the Queen of Witches’ room

“Did you call us Atvertha?” A man who had a height of two meters tall asked the opposite sex who was standing in front of the mirror. That young man appeared with his best friend from the right side of the pretty goddess.

A woman with thin eyebrows was stunned when she saw the appearance of the two men she had called. However, her face did not show any expression, making Havento and Hertinoz confused about what had happened to the girl. “Thank you for coming. Mom has just informed me that I will marry Toghnath tomorrow. Please take me away from here.” Atvertha answered while looking at the two immortal gods.

“I will place you in my realm, but do you want to stay in the Nyx area for a while?” A man who rarely smiled immediately provided a solution. However, Atvertha felt that something was missing, so she had to ask him about it.

“I do not mind being in the Underworld, but where will I sleep?” The woman with thin lips asked the other person a question, which made the young man frown.

“Why are you confused? I have several rooms, and you can use one. Do not worry; I will not do something nasty or rude.” That strong-jawed man answered while Hertinoz just observed the conversation that was taking place between Havento and Atvertha.

“Okay then. Thank you, Havento.” The smart girl was relieved, so she no longer hesitated to follow the boy.

When they were about to enter the mirror, suddenly they heard a “Brugh!” so that the two immortal gods and an immortal goddess simultaneously turned towards the source of the sound. They saw an object lying on the floor, so Atvertha, who realized the situation, rushed there. Meanwhile, Havento and Hertinoz were waiting in the same area.

“Why did a book fall? Could it be the Book of Destiny again?” Atvertha muttered quietly.

When she arrived at her destination, the thin-browed girl took a silver-covered book. The object emitted light, so Atvertha opened a random page. There was written a sentence that made the owner confused: Hello, Goddess Atvertha! How are you? Do you intend to run away?

“How come you know what I am doing?” Atvertha asked, curious.

The original sentence was erased, and then a new sentence appeared on the same page as if an invisible hand carried out this action. A wallflower girl just watched because she was curious about what the magickal book would write for her. The new sentence that appeared on the sheet seemed to answer the virgin’s question.

Have you forgotten who I am? I could not have known that you wanted to leave the palace.

“So, what do you want? If I stayed here all the time, it would be the same as surrendering myself to death. I do not want to have to marry Toghnath!” Atvertha turned to the mirror, and the two immortal gods were still waiting for her. A girl who could see in the dark already wanted to follow them, but again, a new sentence appeared in the book.

I will not stop you from going. But there is one thing you must not forget.

“What do you mean ‘there is one thing I must never forget’? Hurry! I am in a rush!”

I do not want to make Havento and Hertinoz wait a long time. They must be annoyed but reluctant to say it directly, thought Atvertha, who was waiting for a new sentence to appear there.

Do not forget always to take me wherever you go, Goddess Atvertha. You may be angry or annoyed if my suggestions are not appropriate, but I always give you ideas so you can find a way out.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Okay, if you say so.”

Without hesitation, Atvertha carried out the book’s request as soon as possible. After that, a girl who would replace the Sun Goddess’ position immediately turned around and walked towards the mirror. The two immortal gods who had been waiting felt interested because the opposite sex brought something that raised questions in their minds.

When Atvertha arrived at the spot, the curly-haired man immediately asked her, “What is that, Goddess? Sorry if I ask like this.”

“This is the Book of Destiny. It asked me to take it wherever I go.” Atvertha answered the question while raising the object she was carrying in her left hand.

“Wow. That was interesting.” The young man wanted to ask further, but Havento elbowed his hand, which made Hertinoz quickly abandon his intention.

“Come on, let’s go! Do not stay here too long, or our plan will fail!” Havento offered Atvertha his left palm, making the girl wonder what the man meant by this action. However, she did not reveal it openly.

“Hold my hand. I will take you to my place faster.” A man with a baritone voice explained so that his friend was stunned. Hertinoz almost laughed because he had never seen Havento take the initiative to do something like that. However, he chose to hold back his laughter to avoid making Havento embarrassed and angry with him.

“Okay.” Atvertha followed the Underworld God’s instructions, so she, Havento, and Hertinoz disappeared from the maiden’s room without anyone knowing.
