Deadly Curious
A girl with long silver hair was silent for a while. Atvertha could only stare confusedly, mixed with horror, at the strange book that was still in her grip because she could not believe the events that had happened to her a few moments ago. Meanwhile, the God of War, who was also in the same room, was now seen walking in the opposite direction, looking for books that caught his attention.
“This is beyond my imagination. Why did I even experience strange things, after finding this book, anyway?” muttered Atverta, wincing.
The atmosphere in the place was quiet again. This was realized by the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia. She closed her eyes, and then suddenly, the memory of being together with her favorite mortal guy appeared in her mind, which made the beautiful woman shake her head.
“I miss Armen. What is he doing now, huh? Did he miss me?” said Atvertha softly.
The Moon Goddess quickly opened her eyes. She smiled faintly, then glanced back at the object she had been holding. For some reason, the desire to return the book back to its original shelf suddenly disappeared from her heart. Atvertha walked over to one of the nearby tables, where there were many stools.
Atvertha recalled the memorable meeting with a man she had a crush on so that, without knowing it, she smiled alone. Lord Toghnath was already on a bookshelf, then took a purple cover book and, as soon as possible, pulled it out from inside the shelf as if he wanted to quickly find out what was written there.
When she arrived at her destination, the slender girl sat down on one of the benches, then returned to open the pages of the book at random, like she had done the first time.
I know, you just want to put this book back on the shelf, frightened by what is written, right? But, suddenly changed your mind, then remembered about that beloved male mortal. am I right? Why did you wish to do that? Did not you know that I am your book of destiny? Goddess Atvertha, one thing you must learn; no matter how hard someone runs. However, if that really is not his/her destiny, then is it not all for nothing?
The thin-browed virgin stopped reading. She let go of her hand from the weird book. Millions of questions immediately arise again on herself, especially after reading these sentences. Atvertha shook her head as if she was trying to convince herself that what was happening was not a dream.
“It is very weird. Why does this book seem like it can read my mind? Was there really something it wanted to say? Perhaps ….”
A woman who did not like flirtatious men could not seem to finish her words. She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly. This was repeated three times, after which Atvertha ventured to continue reading the book that had been placed on the table.
Goddess Atvertha, remember that sooner or later, you will definitely pick up your own destiny. Before becoming a full-time goddess, all the lessons taught by your mom, Goddess Avtexia, must be mastered. I know you can pass it all. Never have the immortal god or goddess look down on you because of your young age. There is something you need to know. You will …
Before the violet-eyed girl could read the last sentence, a voice startled her. “Honey, do you still want to be here, or maybe you want to move to another room?”
That wallflower goddess seemed to frown when she heard the strange nickname. While a tall man was seen standing. They were about ten meters apart. “Why the hell did you call me like that? You can call me Atvertha as usual.”
That man was taken aback by such a question, but he quickly covered it up with a chuckle. Meanwhile, the interlocutor rolled her eyes when she saw the God of War’s reaction and no longer stared at the playboy god, who was so annoying in her opinion.
“Okay, Atvertha. Do you want to move to another room or just sit here? There are still a lot of rooms we have not visited yet.” Lord Toghnath again asked the same thing and, at the same time, reminded the girl that they could go to another spot that they had not yet visited.
The immortal goddess who had listened to the words of the opposite sex was silent for a moment. Atvertha reluctantly closed a book on the table, then stood up and took the object with her. Now, the pale-faced girl approached Toghnath, though she was very reluctant to do so.
The three-hundred-year-old god observed the woman’s behavior and said nothing. However, Toghnath’s gaze fell on the object the Queen of Witches was holding.
“Would you like to borrow that book?” asked the man, full of curiosity.
A woman with a sharp nose stopped walking. She picked up the book she had been carrying, followed by Toghnath’s curious gaze. The situation inside was still quiet because no other visitors had yet come there. However, such a moment was not a big problem because the attention of The Moon Goddess and The God of War was focused on one thing.
“This book? I did not borrow, but that book was choosing me,” answered Atvertha frankly.
“How could that book choose you, and what did you mean about it?” The man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-five centimeters tall, again asked two new questions, so this situation made Atvertha confused.
“Why are you so chatty?” Atvertha did not even want to answer these questions but deliberately asked the black-haired man back.
The man who had a tattoo of fire and a scorpion on his back keeps his eyes on the book. He did not look away from there at all, which made Atvertha feel uncomfortable and annoyed at the same time, and such a negative aura was known to Toghnath. The handsome man smiled broadly, but this situation did not reduce Atvertha’s irritation.
“Ah. Please do not misunderstand those questions earlier. I am just curious because in The Heavenly Library there is news that only the chosen one gets a special book. Many gods and goddesses come here, apart from reading, but they also want to prove the myth. It turns out, you are the one.” The man answered Atvertha’s question so that the virgin understood.
“If I get this book, what should I do?”
Lord Toghnath smiled again. “Before leaving The Heavenly Library, then you need to report at the front. But, in a different area than before.”
The goddess, who was like a mortal male, had not answered the man’s words. She seemed to be thinking about something while Toghnath was still keeping an eye on the book. in cunning man was looking for a way to see what was written in the Book of Destiny, which already belonged to the Moon Goddess.
“Okay. I am going to another room then. There is nothing interesting here.” The two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman finally spoke up. That situation succeeded in making Lord Toghnath focus his attention on Atvertha.
“Before we go there, may I ask you something?”Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“What do you want to ask? Do not ask weird things like you usually did!”
A young goddess could not hide her suspicions and deliberately said those things. The man who was good at seduction chuckled as if he had heard something funny. Toghnath shook his head, but this action was not enough to calm Atvertha’s heart which was already filled with deep doubts.
“No, darling. I am not what you think.”
“Then what do you want to ask?”
“I just wanted to know if it is okay if I-”
