The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few days later,

A girl with long silver hair looked down at a table in the room. She looked exhausted as if she had experienced so many events that consumed her attention and energy. Without the young goddess knowing, a black figure was flying towards her.

“Shit! I am so tired of all the lessons Mom and Dad give me. When will all this end? So, I can’t go down to Earth to meet my mortal guy. If things like this continue, then I will go crazy. Why are my parents so happy to teach so many lessons? It is ridiculous,” Atvertha muttered softly.

“I am glad they put all the lessons on you. That way, you learn discipline. You really should be more serious about what will become your responsibility and there is no more time to be in a relationship with that bloody mortal. You are only dropping your self-esteem and your authority as a goddess.”

When she heard the voice, Atvertha raised her head and then looked around. She seemed to know the voice’s owner, so the girl kept looking for who had said those words. The girl had already sensed unusual darkness, characteristic of her close friend living in the Underworld. “Nyx? Where are you? I know it must be you. Do not hide from me!”

“Why are you only remembering me now? Would not you rather spend time with that bloody mortal? I have advised you many times, but you still refuse it! What was so special about that son of a bitch that you did not want to choose the same guy among us, an immortal god? Love had been blinded your eyes and heart, so you could not see the difference between which ones was good and bad.”

The Moon Goddess kept looking for the other person’s whereabouts, even though she had not found the target’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, a black figure was already on the girl’s right side and seemed to have turned transparent, as if the mysterious guest did not want her existence to be known by Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover.

The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia became upset because her actions did not work either. That young lady still could not find the other goddess she had been looking for. The transparent figure only chuckled, seeing the behavior of her best friend. “Where are you hiding, Nyx? You always come and go uninvited, but why now I guess you seem deliberately do not want to show yourself? Come out!”

The intonation of the voice used by Atvertha sounded frustrated. However, this situation did not change the position of the sister of Lord Havento. A violet-eyed girl had not yet realized that the Night Goddess was so close to her. “No. You do not need to see me. I came here only briefly, after that, I will go back to my place.”

Atvertha’s expression paled even more when she heard such a statement. It was as if she did not want to lose the presence of a sister of Lord Havento. “No! Do not go! I need you!”

“Ou. Are you sure? I see you have n called me since you were in a relationship with that bastard mortal. Was he really more attractive, so my best friend changed? I guess so,” Nyx satirized the other person while smiling sinisterly. Atvertha shook her head as if she was trying to convince the woman who lived in the Underworld.

“It was not true! I often remember you but do not dare to call for fear of disturbing you. Why are you talking like that?” Atvertha still did not know where Nyx was, so she looked around the room again.

“Let’s just say I believe your lies. What would you do? You are happy and do not need me, so why am I here? I do not want to waste my time.” The woman who hated the light immediately shifted from her original position because she did not want to be exposed to the scorching sun.

“I feel like Mom and Dad deliberately taught me so many lessons. This has been happening for a few days, and I am confused about why.” The wallflower girl began to remember strange events that made her confused. However, Nyx, who listened to Atvertha’s problem, laughed and did not hide this situation at all.

“Why are you even laughing?” asked Atvertha, irritated.

“Ah, I see. No wonder if it would have happened. I expected it to happen, but I did not realize it could happen this fast. Well, there is always a price you have to pay for every action you take, Atvertha,” answered Nyx calmly. A woman with wings made of utter darkness began to shake her head, though the interlocutor could not see this action. After completing such action, she looked back at the Crossroads Lady with a severe expression.

“I still do not get it. What did you mean, Nyx?”

“Atvertha, you must have done something that made your parents very suspicious. You can figure out by yourself what made them do this, so you can figure out what was wrong. Starting from now, you must be able to be independent and decide everything by yourself.”

“Why are you even saying that, Nyx? Do you not want to be my friend anymore?” Feelings of sadness began to spread within the virgin, but she did not get the answer she wanted because the unseen guest just laughed. Such an action caused dissatisfaction for Atvertha, but there was a deep curiosity about the change in the other goddess’s attitude that was so obvious.

“I can’t help you any more than this. You have guessed that you have actually chosen to have a relationship with that stupid mortal, even though I have warned you many times. You rejected my precious advices, even though it was for your own good. It was a clear sign that you did not need me anymore at that moment. Every action has consequences, so you have to face it alone.”

A strange premonition came without being able to be prevented, so that Atvertha was even more scared, even though the girl could not express what she was feeling. “Do not say you hate me, Nyx.”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“I have no hatred for you, Atvertha. You have always been my friend, but to help you with romance or your parent’s behavior, I don’t want to get involved. You have gained quite a lot of knowledge from me, plus knowledge from your mom and dad, so this is the time for you to learn to be independent.”

A woman who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimeters starts to turn towards the mirror in the room. Nyx saw a male figure appear there, precisely in the mirror, and was watching her with a sinister expression. That slender woman seemed to understand what the opposite sex was trying to convey, even though she had not said anything to him. The Night Goddess nodded silently and, afterward, turned her attention back to Atvertha.

“Nyx, I am sorry if I made you angry. Please do not hate me. You are my only best friend. I need your advice even though we often fight, because of different opinions.” Atvertha said earnestly. However, the name’s owner only smiled cynically as if she was unsure of the truth of those words.

“You will be fine without me, Atvertha. I will still be watching and helping if you have an emergency. After everything is over, we can meet again. Take care. Do not forget all my suggestions, even though you are always stubborn and do not willing to follow all my advice. Well, I do not care either.” Without further ado, the long, black-haired darted towards the mirror and then entered it. The figure of a man who had appeared there also vanished along with Nyx’s entry.

Atvertha was aware of the sudden disappearance of darkness, so she returned to look for the interlocutor’s unknown whereabouts. “Nyx! Nyx!” The owner of the room called the interlocutor. However, no voice answered her words.

The pointed-nosed virgin walked towards the mirror, feeling restless. When she arrived there, nothing strange happened, so this situation made Atvertha sad. “Why did you just leave, Nyx? I know you do not like it when an immortal goddess has a special relationship with a mortal man, but that does not mean breaking up,” she muttered softly.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, so she turned in that direction. “Who is that?” asked Atvertha, suspicious.

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

“What is it?”

“Goddess Atvertha, I would like to convey a message. You are requested to come to the library room now, for Goddess Avtexia is waiting.”

The two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman immediately chuckled softly when she heard the lady in waiting explanation. “Bastard! Why did Mom make the schedule so tight? I am already exhausted, but I am still forced to study! When can I rest at this rate? Did they really want to torture me on purpose?” Atvertha complained and was reluctant to leave the place.

“Goddess Atvert”

Before the lady-in-waiting had finished speaking, the young goddess had already cut her off. “I am coming!”

As soon as possible, the one hundred-and-seventy-five-centimeter-tall maiden walked over to it, but she paused by the table, then moved her right hand so that empty parchments, a black ink bottle, and a quill flew with her. Shortly thereafter, Atvertha came out of the room, followed by the stationery which always used in studying. Longing for her mortal boyfriend arose in the Moon Goddess’ heart.

How are Armen and his family? Is he okay? I miss my man, but I can’t go anywhere right now because the situation does not allow it. May they always be in good health so that when there is a gap to leave, I must immediately go to the Earth to meet them, hoped Goddess Atvertha, while holding back sleep from the exhaustion that had hit her.
