The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a room belonging to Lord Helion,

“Honey, why did you get so out of control? Our plan to thwart Atvertha’s relationship with that mortal guy could fail, if our daughter notices that there is something strange about our attitude.” A man wearing a crown on his head said softly as if he was afraid of hurting the other person’s heart. Meanwhile, the silver-haired woman standing in front of the window had not yet commented, so her husband could only wait.

Silence began to be felt in the room because the opposite sex had yet to respond. However, the Lord of the Seas was still patiently waiting for this, so all he did was watch over his spouse, who seemed to be thinking about something.

“I can’t hold back my frustration, honey. If you did not come right away, then Atvertha might have been on the defensive, but she did not realize my warning to her during class.” The Sun Goddess finally responded to her husband’s words.

The four-hundred-and-forty-year-old man could only exhale heavily as if he disapproved of the interlocutor’s comments. However, God Helion chose to remain silent, as if he were avoiding the fight between them.

Goddess Avtexia turned towards her husband, where the man was looking the other way. Such a moment made the woman who hates darkness confused. She felt like she was being ignored by her spouse, even though, in reality, this was not the case. “What is it, honey? Why do you look displeased?”

The man carrying the trident spontaneously shook his head. The wife became curious because she was sure that something must be bothering God Helion’s mind. The handsome man still remembered the incident where their only daughter reportedly disappeared to Earth for a few moments, only to meet a mortal male.

“To be honest, I was thinking before, why did our daughter prefer a mortal guy over an immortal god? If indeed the man she wants is not like Toghnath, then Atvertha can directly tell you or me, so we can introduce her to another god. How could Atvertha meet and become acquainted with that mortal.”

“I feel the same way, honey. Before this incident happened, I had warned Atvertha beforehand, not to look for partners from the mortal nation, even though her lives were at stake. However, our daughter even arbitrarily violated the message. Now, we have to prevent her from going to Earth, so as not to meet that disgusting mortal family.”

After finishing saying these words, the woman who was respected among the immortal gods and goddesses fell silent, so that such an event made her husband become curious. As soon as possible, the Lord of the Seas turned to his spouse, and then he saw the state of his wife, who was in a strange state. “What was wrong with Avtexia? Would my love check on Atvertha’s whereabouts? Maybe so,” muttered God Helion quietly.

Goddess Avtexia’s eyes, which were originally blue, have now turned red. Lord Helion realized this and immediately became alert. The silver-haired man had not said anything, as if he was waiting for a comment from his wife, who has always been faithful to accompany him. The atmosphere in the room became tense because it was all caused by the aura emanating from the Sun Goddess’ body.

“The Traitor is about to leave this place soon. We must hurry before it is too late!” The voice of the four hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman also changed so that her husband was even more sure that soon the terrible event that the Goddess Avtexia had just mentioned would occur.

“Yes, dear. Now we better get out of here, so we can follow where Atvertha is going.”

Meanwhile, in the bedroom of the Moon Goddess

A slender girl was seen standing in front of a door. The virgin seemed hesitant to open the door, so she was silent for a long time there. The atmosphere there felt lonely because there had not been another god or goddess inviting Atvertha to have a conversation. The virgin goddess’s longing for her lover began to emerge, and then she recalled the words of the Goddess Avtexia and Nyx so that such a moment made that beautiful girl breathe heavily as if something was bothering her mind.

“Is it evening or maybe night on Earth? I promised I would come to my man’s house and meet his family. If the situation like this, then sooner or later, of course, my parents will find out about Armen. Mom had even forbade me to marry a mortal nation, whatever the risk, whereas in reality….” Atvertha could not continue her words because of the sadness that was stifling her heart.

The violet-eyed girl was silent while closing her eyes. This state lasted for a few seconds, and then she opened her eyes again. “I do not want to back down. Even if our relationship looks impossible, but the blessing of parents is not an obstacle to moving forward. Our relationship must continue, because I am determined to marry Armen.”

The long-haired woman tried to smile, though it was in vain because a sad feeling still dominated her heart. She opened the door, looking around the palace. The guards who used to stand guard still remained in their current places. Meanwhile, Goddess Atvertha occasionally saw maids passing by, and then they paid their respects when they saw the young Goddess.

When it was clear that the situation was already safe, the Crossroads Lady took a few steps back while keeping an eye on the surroundings of the palace. She began to say slowly, even whispering to herself, “Agmentho!” [1]

Not long after, the girl’s body disappeared from sight. “I have to come down to Earth soon, so I can meet my man. If I stay here too long, then Mom and Dad can look for me, so I will not be able to go anywhere, especially if that Stupid God comes here. I do not want to see him.” Atvertha grunted involuntarily, though it was not heard by the guards who were there.

The violet-eyed young lady, without further ado, flew down, heading to Earth so that she could meet her beloved lover. She only focused on the destination and already felt safe because she had uttered the spell and disappeared from the sight of the immortal god and goddess. “Armen, wait for me. I will be there as soon as possible. I will definitely keep the promise that was made,” Atvertha muttered softly.

Without the Moon Goddess knowing, there were three pairs of eyes that knew whatever she was doing. They all came from the immortal gods and goddesses living in the upper world. They were deliberately stalking the virgin at a considerable distance. In addition, none of the three gods and goddesses spoke, so this did not make Atvertha suspicious of their presence.

“Atvertha definitely wants to go to that bloody mortal’s house,” said the God of War, who was trying to stay patient. So far, the young man had been watching the movements of his beloved lady in silence. Resentment, anger, and jealousy towards the girl who preferred Armen had mixed together in Toghnath’s heart, so he spontaneously clenched his right fist as if he wanted to punch his rival.

“I know where Atvertha has gone. Come on, let’s follow her!” replied the Goddess Avtexia in a tone full of hatred.

Without further ado, the two gods and one goddess left the palace to catch up with Atvertha, who had already gone to Earth.
