The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

“That means is there a spell that cannot be countered, causing something fatal to happen to the target?” Atvertha again explained the meaning of her current question, although she became a little nervous because the girl got a sharp glare from her own mother.

“There is one dangerous spell, but as long as it has not manifested directly or at that time, the victim can survive. However, if the spontaneous spell’s effect is so strong that the impact occurs at that instant, then the target will immediately suffer harm, which is unavoidable.” Goddess Avtexia answered straightforwardly. However, the Goddess still gave her student the same look, which made Atvertha uncomfortable.

“May I know what did you mean by ‘one dangerous spell’?” The violet-eyed girl asked further.

That young lady was now able to overcome the nervousness that had hit her in her heart, but her biological mother was still watching her. Hence, Goddess Atvertha was worried and tried hard to act appropriately so as not to arouse suspicion in the Sun Goddess.

“Are you sure you want to know about that?” Goddess Avtexia asked back, so her mother’s actions confused the interlocutor. However, a good friend of the Underworld Goddess could only nod as if confirming the question asked by the wife of God Helion – the ruler of the ocean and its contents. Meanwhile, the teacher did not want to give an answer, as if waiting for a verbal answer from Atvertha.

“Yes, Mom.” Goddess Atvertha also answered verbally.

“The deadly spell I am referring to is a death spell, which, if it occurs on the same day, there is no antidote for death, so it wastes all effort and effort to save the target.” Goddess Avtexia answered the current question from her daughter, who was still curious.

For some reason, the topic had succeeded in attracting the goddess who liked a mortal guy, so she continued with a new question to her teacher.

“If the death spell does not happen instantly, did the victim experience something or other things?”

“Before that, let me be clear about the spontaneous spell. Spontaneous spells still work, although the timing varies. If I may say, this condition is tantamount to an archer who releases arrows to reach a target, in this case, the enemy, who is very far away. No one knows when and at what time the arrow hit the target, right?” The beautiful four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman gave the initial answer while her student watched intently.

“When the arrow hits the target slowly, wherever the target goes, something hidden already overshadowed him/her. The person will not be able to avoid it because powerful energy accompanies the foreign object that stalks invisible. However, when the arrow is near, the effects can be of two kinds; the first is to go straight in and hit the designated area as the archer wanted. The second option is arrows hurt slowly so that the enemy does not notice so that the careless victim can assume what is experienced is an ordinary disease so that soon he/she dies horribly.”

A sinister grin appeared on Goddess Avtexia’s face so that her daughter became horrified when she saw the moment. The situation became a little awkward because of the eerie feeling that came out of Goddess Avtexia. It was as if she had done this for whatever purpose.

Mom looks like another goddess in my eyes. Why is she now like Nyx, which emits negative energy from her body? This moment made me think. Does that mean that there are no dark forces in the light? If indeed everything that comes from light is good, then why has my mom even become like this? Thought Atvertha, holding the horror inside of her.

“Are there any additional questions?”

Now, Goddess Avtexia’s expression returned to normal as before. The terrifying aura had disappeared entirely, so the young goddess felt a little relieved. However, she still maintains an infinite vigilance for fear of the same incident happening again.

“Can I still ask another question, Mom?”

“Of course, you can. In the future, you will replace me in handling the witches and all magickal creatures, so do not hesitate to ask. Remember, do not look stupid because, as the Queen of Witches, you have to know everything about magick, witchcraft, and everything related to things like that.”

“If a spontaneous spell which Mom analogizes as an arrow, hits the target’s body slowly, does it enter the target according to the archer’s wishes, or does it happen randomly?” The girl, who was two hundred and seventy years old, again asked a new question. Not to forget, she recorded all of the mother’s explanations so that nothing was left behind.

“For that one, it depends on the archer’s initial intention before he shoots the arrow. For example, a witch holds a grudge against his/her enemy, then she just says, ‘I curse you, a bastard evil human! May you die a gruesome death and a spear pierce your heart! Your descendants will either die of pestilence or be killed by someone else so that none of them will be left!’ then, such a thing will surely happen to the intended person.”

Goddess Avtexia raised her hands again, and then a scene appeared in her hands that supported her explanation. Atvertha did not blink when she saw it all, and she was amazed because the effects that her mother said did have a tremendous impact, especially when it was exposed to ordinary humans.

“Mom, if the archer just said, ‘you will die a horrific death, and so will your entire family, so that you are all wiped out!’ then would the result be like that? Could something else happen?”

“If that were the case, then arrows would turn into everything; illness, bad situation, such as fire, flash flood, landslide, robbed by people, or anything possible, in order to support the archer’s spontaneous spell. If at this stage the potential victim does not respond immediately, then worse things are bound to happen, so it can be said that ‘many accidents’ are coming to the target, resulting in death.”

“Is that spontaneous spell just something that causes death, or can it happen to something else, Mom?”

“Yes. It all depends on the sender of the spontaneous spell. If at that time, the sender emitted negative energy, such as anger, resentment, or hatred, then the arrows shot were poison arrows and vice versa. If that witch deeply loves the target, then the arrow she/he sends to the target person is a love spell.”

That smart goddess gasped for a few seconds. The girl again remembered the male mortal she had saved, so both cheeks blushed suddenly. This moment did not escape the scrutiny of her mother, who had been suspicious of Atvertha from the start.

“Why are you daydreaming? What are you thinking about?”

The sound of reprimand had been able to shatter the image of the virgin, who had wandered to another place. She was embarrassed because her mother had been overseeing her, not even blinking at all.

“Ah… I… no. I thought nothing of it, Mom.”

“Are you sure? You look weird when I say ‘love spell’. Do you want to try doing that?” asked Goddess Avtexia. She seemed to be paving the way, although, in Atvertha’s heart, a bad feeling had arisen because such incidents were rare.

“No, Mom. I do not think so. I just… I was just shocked if it turns out that there is a love spell,” answered Goddess Atvertha, stammering a little.

The violet-eyed girl was trying very hard to hide her nervousness so that her mother would not know what she was thinking.

“Of course, such a thing exists. We can use spells for all needs, including romance. Are you interested in learning it? If you want, I can teach you, and it is easy to do so.” The Sun Goddess still did not give up. She kept asking trick questions, hoping to ensnare her daughter in a trap.

A young lady shook her head again. Bad premonitions were getting stronger, so she did not want to be careless in giving answers to the other person. Atvertha had seen the sinister aura of her mother’s body and did not want to take the risk that would surely make her trapped in the game of the Sun Goddess.

“I do not need a love spell, Mom. Because I did not-”
