The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Somewhere in the Underworld,

“So, do I have to bless Hertinoz directly or is there another procedure in the Underworld so I can follow it?” A silver-haired girl asked a tall man. Meanwhile, an immortal god and goddess who were also there had not commented because they were still observing Atvertha with Havento.

“Follow your heart. Our way of blessing may be different from yours.” The black-eyed man answered firmly, but his tone was gentle.

“Should I do it here, or can I move to another place but stay in the same area?” asked that young lady, looking to the right and left side, which looked empty.

“If intuition pushes you there, then just do it. It is best not to go too far because I will perfect the blessing,” answered the three-hundred-and-ten-year-old man.

The words opposite sex made Atvertha think. The pale, white-skinned woman was silent for a moment, then turned to a young man with curly hair. He looked happy and, at the same time, could not wait to see what the immortal goddess was going to do to him.

What should I do? I have never been blessed with an immortal god before, but it is impossible to refuse because the agreement includes that action. I am a Queen of Witches, so please help me, oh myself! If you want to take over my body during the blessing process, then I will allow it, but after that, I want to be normal again, Atvertha said to herself, closing her eyes.

The girl in the white dress was silent, then her hands moved to the right and left with open palms. Nyx, Havento, and Hertinoz frowned, as they had never seen the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia in such a state. However, they chose to remain silent and continue to watch over the Moon Goddess.

Suddenly, two additional heads with Atvertha’s face appeared on the girl’s left and right ears, as well as two pairs of hands and two pairs of legs. Such an event greatly shocked Nyx, Havento, and Hertinoz. The virgin goddess’ eyes in the middle of her head, which were initially closed, were now open. The originally violet eye color changed to white, which made the three immortals even more amazed and confused. They took three steps back without realizing it, as if they did not dare to get close to the Crossroads Lady.

“Hertinoz, come here.” Atvertha’s voice sounded very different, so the girl’s condition worried the three immortals there. The goddess had not moved, and the young goddess looked at the target sharply as if the opposite sex had done something ample wrong with her.

The God of Communication did not dare to move forward and remained where he was, so a man wearing all black patted his good friend on the shoulder. “Carry out the Moon Goddess’ orders, Hertinoz.”

A man who could run as fast as lightning stepped in front of Atvertha, even though doubts appeared in his heart. A dark and cold aura emerged from the body of Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife. Nyx, Havento, and Hertinoz noticed this, and the Night Goddess grinned as if she had just realized something. When the distance between Atvertha and the target was about one meter, the woman’s left palm, which was initially open, turned downwards as soon as possible as if closing and gesturing to Hertinoz to kneel.

Lord Toretz’s wife recognized the omen, so she said to the man with a small cloud tattoo on his upper left arm, “You must kneel before the Goddess Atvertha.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

The young guy wanted to argue, but the dark aura was so dense that it seemed to force Hertinoz to carry out the Moon Goddess’ orders so that Hertinoz knelt, even the man’s head was bowed. Atvertha’s right palm, which was initially open, was turned downwards, precisely not far from the top of that immortal god’s head. The atmosphere turned tense, but this situation actually made Nyx very happy.

“I, Goddess Atvertha, as the Moon Goddess and Queen of Witchcraft who lives in my own realm and the Underworld, bless you, Hertinoz, the God of Communication. You will be able to freely enter and exit the Underworld with permission from Lord Havento. You will help the Lord of the Underworld if he asks and must not betray him ever. If one day you commit a crime while you are here, then you will immediately face Lord Havento and me. No criminal will escape punishment, and neither will you.” Atvertha’s voice sounded mystical, as if it was not herself speaking but another figure who resembled the virgin.

A red mixed with black energy came from Atvertha’s palm and slowly entered Hertinoz’s head. Havento and Nyx witnessed this moment. They did not blink at all and continued to watch what the woman with thin eyebrows was doing. A man who was kneeling felt enormous power throughout his body, but he could do nothing but stay in his current position. The Night Goddess was pleased with her close friend’s changes but could not express her opinion openly.

Five minutes later, the process seemed to be finished because Atvertha turned her palms back, so they were facing up. Meanwhile, the guy who was still kneeling did not move. This situation caused the immortal god and goddess to approach Hertinoz spontaneously. The young man’s body began to move to the right side by itself, so his excellent friend grabbed both shoulders. “He fainted,” said Havento to Nyx.

“He will wake up in a moment,” said Atvertha, which made Havento and Nyx turn to her. A woman still had three heads, faces, two pairs of hands, and two pairs of legs, but they were all combined in one body. This situation made Havento realize that the immortal goddess was almost similar to one of his pet dogs, which had only three heads.

“Thank you for opening my seals, even though they are imperfect, Nyx.” Atvertha’s hair, which was initially silver, without further ado, turned black, as did the other two heads so that the virgin’s appearance changed drastically. Havento’s third sister also looked at the other goddess suspiciously because the interlocutor’s voice had not changed.

“Who are you?” Nyx asked matter-of-factly.

“I am Atvertha. I am the side that was forced to be buried by Avtexia. I symbolize the present,” answered the virgin goddess. A scary woman who had lived in the Underworld since birth had not yet commented, but she continued to stare at future daughters-in-law Lebrazht Lugthna and Norah Bitnantzh. The atmosphere in that place became tense, but it did not matter to the three immortals.

“How do I know that you are indeed the part of Atvertha who was buried by the Sun Goddess? You could be lying, right?” Nyx did not just give up and asked the other goddess a new question. Meanwhile, Havento was still caring for Hertinoz, and the young man was starting to wake up, although he was still weak.

“Atvertha, you have always known, is not skilled in magick, especially spells. She often loses concentration in studying, so Avtexia often scolds her.” This answer made Nyx speechless, and remembered Atvertha’s complaint that her mother had scolded her for forgetting basic things, including spells.

“Will you forever control Atvertha’s body?”

“I have become one with Atvertha. We were only forced to remain silent by Avtexia and Helion until all the seals were taken. We are part of her.”

Hertinoz had regained consciousness and was being helped by Havento to stand up. Nyx did not take her eyes off Atvertha, who was so different from usual. The two immortal gods slowly moved away from there because they headed to the right, and there were three chairs and a relatively large sofa. Meanwhile, the Night Goddess was still staring at each other with an immortal goddess. However, the woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimeters tall, looked like she was trying to do something.

I am happy that Atvertha’s power has increased, but her appearance is strange and unsightly. I know that all symbols have meaning, but if she is still like this, well, she looks terrifying. I have to know whether this shape is permanent or forever, thought Nyx, who continued observing Atvertha as if the girl were a strange and strange goddess.

“Will you return to your original form or vice versa?” Nyx opened the conversation after a long silence.

“I will stay like this until Helion breaks all my seals.” Atvertha, with her magical voice, answered firmly so that the goddess she was talking to raised one eyebrow, a sign that she did not expect to get that kind of answer.

“Do you remember your lover’s name?” Nyx deliberately provoked another question, but it was more personal this time. All this was done so that she could find out Atvertha’s reaction because the girl knew that her best friend really loved that mortal male, even to the point of being willing to go to war with her parents, and also an immortal god who was Atvertha’s future husband who they had chosen.

“His name is Armen,” Atvertha answered calmly and without any hesitation at all,

“What if he finds out that you changed into your current form? Will he still love you?”

“My man’s feelings will definitely never change. I am sure of that.”

The third daughter of the couple, God Hetzh couple-the Lord of Darkness and the Goddess Aymenth-the Lord of Sorrow laughed softly so that the two immortal gods sitting on the chairs turned to her. Nyx’s actions did not sway Atvertha. The virgin goddess remained calm and let the other person laugh as much as she wanted as if this action did not bother her.

“You are still naive, Atvertha. I applaud your blind faith. It would be best if you met him tonight on Earth with your new appearance. We will see.” Nyx gave a challenge, so the woman with thin eyebrows nodded without hesitation.

“If Armen is afraid or even rejects you when he sees you like this, then you have to marry Havento.” The Lord of the Underworld widened his eyes when he heard his sibling’s words, but he did not blame Nyx. He and Hertinoz just listened to the conversation between the two immortal goddesses from a distance away. Atvertha nodded again and did not refuse Nyx’s second challenge.

“If the opposite happens, then you have to help me so I can build my own realm.” This time, it was Nyx who was shocked by Atvertha’s sentence. However, she could not refuse because she already knew the consequences, so she reluctantly agreed.

“Deal! You have to prove that Armen is a different mortal male. Most mortals can’t be trusted; you always deny that fact.” Nyx was sure she would succeed, so she was confident facing Atvertha. However, a woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, was not angry with her friend’s statement. She continued to stare at Havento’s little sister with an expressionless expression.

“I will prove it to you, Nyx.” The owner of the name’s guts was starting to shrink, but she did not show it to the goddess she was talking to. The atmosphere in the room became increasingly cold and tense, which made the Upper World God shudder and want to leave the place as soon as possible.
