The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a palace in the sky,

“We have to talk with our daughter immediately, Honey. Atvertha should not be in the room all the time, without ever having an obvious reason that satisfies us. I am sure something must have happened to her. She just did not want to say that,” said a woman with long silver hair.

A husband and wife were seen in a room where the place was so wide. There were stone pillars that stand firmly in each corner, and some were in the middle as if it was created to support the location so that the palace, including the room that was there, remained, without fear of collapsing.

“Then, we have to come to her room, Honey. But, did not you say earlier that there was the Night Goddess? If there are still guests, it will be difficult to meet our daughter. It is impossible to get rid of Atvertha’s friend, right? It was a rude act and could cause an uproar among the Underworld Gods and Goddesses. They will hate us for sure,” said the interlocutor.

The man who was carrying a trident in his right hand expressed his opinion. As soon as possible, he remembered what his wife had said when they were still with the God of War. When she heard these words, the blue-eyed woman instantly fell silent and was now deep in thought. The old man from that Moon Goddess had not yet opened the conversation again, so the atmosphere in the place became quiet.

It is true what my hubby said. If we expel Nyx, then Lord Havento, who is her older brother, will definitely be furious, so a battle between the underworld family and us is inevitable. They are a powerful family and destroy everything without mercy. Instead of looking into trouble with them, it was better to think of another plan so that Atvertha would leave the room. But what is the plan B for this situation? I have not come up with a bright idea yet, thought Avtexia, who was already feeling restless.

“Honey,” Lord Helion called.

The woman, who was already four hundred and twenty years old, turned her attention to the other person. The Lord of the Sun chose to remain silent for a while as if he was waiting for what her lovely husband had to say, even though Goddess Avtexia herself looked confused.

“How about we invite our daughter’s friend, not today for sure? Can we do it at the nearest time so we can eat together with that girl and our daughter? So, we can get to know her. If that is not the case, then how is it possible for any of us to find out what they are doing when she came into Atvertha’s room?”

“Nyx would definitely not be willing to fulfill such a thing, even if I invited her directly.” The beautiful woman sighed, then shook her head several times so that her husband became confused and curious.

“How come? You have never tried it, so do not make assumptions first,” asked the wise man, full of deep curiosity.

Lord Helion right away frowned, while his wife looked lazy to answer his current question. However, she liked it or not, a woman who hated the mortals must give a good reason so there was no pointless quarrel between them.

“Yes, dear. I can say that, because Nyx and her family hate the sun so much. She does not stay here for long,” replied Goddess Avtexia, trying hard to hide her annoyance.

The man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimeters, tried to digest his wife’s words so he was more silent. A light breeze came into the room, then hit the skin of the husband and wife. However, this moment was not a problem for either of them.

“What?” This time, God Helion could not hide his surprise.

“Yes, you heard right, Honey. Nyx would not come and join us, so it is useless to invite that woman to have a meal together.” The lips of the Goddess who can manipulate thoughts pursed. She felt disgusted, as well as annoyed when she said those words. However, the opposite happened to her lovely husband.

“If Nyx really hates sunlight, maybe because the light is so bright, it is difficult for us to take a persuasive approach to the Underworld Goddess. This kind of situation is clearly not profitable for us at all, so we never know what kind of topics that have been discussed by the Night Goddess with our princess. We have to find out another way.” The man stroked his long silver beard.

“Do you have any ideas, Hubby?” A woman with the same face as her only daughter, so both of them were like sisters, began to ask the opinion of the man who had been her life partner for a long time.

The man looked at his wife earnestly. “How about we do this to-”

In somewhere else, precisely in the secret place.

“From now on, you will be okay. Do not be afraid of anything. You can try to explore your magick more by yourself,” said a strange woman.

A girl who liked a mortal guy now stared at the other person with a confused feeling mixed with doubt. God Havento’s sister was aware of the situation but still was acting normal as if everything was fine. The atmosphere in the place was still quiet because the Upper-world Goddess had not yet commented on the Underworld Goddess.

“Apart from exploring magick, does this your gift have no harmful side effects? For example, significant changes in emotion, or maybe there are other effects?” asked Atvertha, raising her hands.

“There are no guarantees for that. You will see later,” replied the woman with a pair of hidden wings on her back.

A woman who controlled the darkness of the night smiled faintly so that the mystical, as well as sinister aura, was increasingly felt there. Meanwhile, the virgin goddess snorted because her close friend never gave a reassuring answer. Even more suspicious that Nyx did not want to say this honestly.

“That is not funny. If you give something, especially one implanted in the body, at least tell the effect so that the recipient – in this case, of course, I will not feel cheated!” said Atvertha, irritated.

The woman with long black hair was still in the same condition, choosing to remain silent. This incident further added to the annoyance within the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, because she had to guess what would happen next.

“Do whatever you want,” Nyx said, carefree.

The atmosphere became awkward because what the owner of a secret place said did not explain in detail, resulting in confusion on the other side, who was her guest and best friend. The woman, who gave off a sinister aura, was still unwilling to provide further information.

“Pardon?” asked Atvertha, spontaneously.

The Moon Goddess was increasingly annoyed because her friend had not given her a more detailed explanation. She looked at Nyx with an expressionless look. However, a woman wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like the night and filled with sparkling light, chose to remain silent for a while, as if deliberately ignoring the anxiety that had been inside the silver-haired girl.

“You heard me. Do whatever you want. You can do anything here for a test,” answered Nyx casually.

“How can I do that? I still do not get it. Do not make me confused!”

Now, Atvertha began to turn her hands towards Nyx so the interlocutor could see both of her palms. But sadly, a woman who hated the sun still ignored her friend and choose to keep staring at the interlocutor’s face directly.

“Just do it.”

“Damn! Your poor attitude is so vexing me! Give me one instruction then leave me out of the blue.” Atvertha could not contain the anger ready to swell, so she urged the Night Goddess.

“Now think of one thing that is very desirable. Something you really crave.”

“Okay.”

A girl who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall began to concentrate while closing her palms. Nyx just waited and said nothing at the moment. In less than a minute, suddenly, a picture so detailed that it caused the Night Goddess to stare as if she could not believe the scene she had just seen.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
