The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

One hour and fifteen minutes later,

A young girl was seen walking out of a room in the magnificent palace. A bottle of black ink, a shiny quill, and some used parchment followed her. The atmosphere around the palace seemed deserted because no one was having a conversation.

The conversation that had occurred when the violet-eyed girl was still ringing in her mind. That virgin could only endure all the strangeness she felt alone without daring to say it openly to anyone. Atvertha continued to walk in a silence that seemed to have merged with all the rooms in the luxurious residence.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Luckily, I was able to avoid Mom’s trick questions, and then we continued the lesson that had been delayed during the question-and-answer session. She was so wicked. If the answer is wrong, then it will be a severe thing. To be honest, the topic was fascinating, but there was an inexplicable danger, Atvertha thought, looking straight ahead.

Once in a while, that young lady met some maids, so as soon as possible, they paid their respects to the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia. The beautiful woman just nodded, then continued the delayed steps. A few moments later, Atvertha arrived at her destination and afterward, she entered there.

Those objects that had been accompanying the Moon Goddess had also flown to the table that the girl used to use, especially to put study equipment. Meanwhile, Atvertha was originally about to head towards the cupboard with the aim of changing clothes. However, an odd thing happened: her legs instead chose to walk towards the mirror, and all of that happened out of her control.

“Why would I even want to go there, huh? What is it?” muttered the girl, confused.

When she arrived in front of the mirror, a woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, was shocked beyond measure when she saw a figure that had appeared there.

“Hello, Darling. Do you miss me now?” asked a voice so familiar. The voice belonged to a reflected figure of a woman with a sinister aura.

Atvertha’s expression changed, so she smiled faintly. “Oh, my… Nyx! I thought something strange had happened to me because my legs instead walked towards this place. What happened?” replied the girl with long, silver hair.

“No. There is nothing else. I just wanted to ask, are you starting to miss me already? How was your day with your beloved mom? Was it good?” The white-eyed girl asked in a severe tone but mixed with a hint of ridicule.

“Why are you suddenly saying that?” Atvertha deliberately did not answer the first question and chose to ask the other person back.

A strange grin appeared on the lips of Lord Havento’s sister while the smart goddess was still waiting for an answer from the Night Goddess, who was still on the other side, precisely in the realm where she had been living all this time.

“Are you finally able to see the dark side of the sun, which seems flawless?”

Such a question as soon as possible made Atvertha’s memory go back to when she studied with the teacher, who was none other than her biological mother. Nyx can only watch her close friend as if waiting for a comment from Atvertha.

“Yes, I have to admit, you were right. I saw it clearly. She seemed different from usual.”

“Good. That means you can see wherever there is light; there must be a speck of darkness, even if it is dim. It is a fact and is indisputable.” A woman, wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like the night and filled with sparkling light, seemed relaxed, yet happy, as she said it.

“How could that happen? Even though so far, I have never seen or felt strange events?” Goddess Atvertha asked again because she was still curious.

“If you can see hidden things, would not that be great? Remember, as the Queen of Witches, you have to be sensitive. Even if it is necessary, to whatever is in anyone’s heart you can listen to. I know you can do it.” Nyx gave an answer that sounded confusing to the other person.

“But is not the feeling in the heart something private? Why should I be able to hear that part, too?”

“Did I tell you to listen to the hearts of all beings without first sorting it out? No, Atvertha! You only need to take such action when dealing with your people. Do not abuse the powerful magick that has been taught and has been embedded into your body.”

“Okay. Besides, do you want to convey a message? I know that if you come suddenly like this, there must be something you want to say. I know your habit so well.” The virgin wearing a bright white dress seemed suspicious of her best friend, who was still there but did not want to say something important to her yet.

A woman who hated the sun even chuckled because she thought the words uttered by the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, were so funny. However, something different was felt by a goddess who liked a mortal guy. That young lady goddess was still waiting for an answer from the interlocutor. After the laughter stopped, Nyx looked at Atvertha again seriously.

“Since when do I need a special reason to meet you? You are my close friend, so I will visit you anytime at my convenient period.” Nyx explained casually, so the pale-faced girl became annoyed but did not want to express her feelings openly.

“For now, practice diligently, especially when it comes to magick. There is so much to explore. Remember, not everything has to be exaggerated. What is meant is to keep your power for your own business and your people. Do not show to any immortal god or goddess about your weakness because they can use all of that to destroy you. Silent is gold, but do not ever want to be trampled by someone unless she/he transfers new power, as I did to you.”

Atvertha shook her head, while Nyx became confused because she did not understand. After all, she saw the behavior of the other person who was in the sky palace.

“Why are you acting weird? Are you okay? Do not say that you want to go far away, and after that, we can’t even see each other? If that is true, then say it frankly.”

“You are so funny. If I did leave many messages, that does not mean I am going far, as you allege. I know you have so much potential, and I have already hit the button. Now, you will face all your fear and anxiety alone because maybe at that time, you need my help, I can’t do that. You will be a stronger and wiser goddess.”

Before the sharp-nosed girl could say anything, the reflection of the woman who lived in the underworld that was initially in the mirror disappeared so that such a moment stunned the Crossroads Goddess. The atmosphere was quiet again because the conversation that had taken place in the room had ended.

“Shit! She has always been like that coming here as she pleases, then going home as she wants. But, somehow, I feel like something has happened to her, so Nyx deliberately says strange things. Did my friend fight again with her brother, Havento? Hopefully not, because I do not want to see them hostilities to each other.” Atvertha said quietly.

That young lady closed her eyes. Without further ado, she remembered all that Nyx had done for her. All the pain, confusion, and discomfort returned. However, the anger and hurt were greatly reduced when she knew the reason behind all these actions.

When she finished, Atvertha’s eyes re-opened. The girl accidentally looked into the mirror. There, she observed her own reflection, which looked pale and expressionless. This situation made the smart goddess think. “I look pathetic. If indeed Nyx, who is very familiar with me, will leave, even though she has impliedly denied it, but it is possible for this to happen. For now on, I have to get my own happiness. But what kind of happiness do I really want?”

Suddenly an idea came to mind, so the young lady smiled faintly. “I know what I have to do now.”

Atvertha left the mirror area and then went towards the cupboard. She was happy because she already knew what to do, and now the Moon Goddess was getting ready so that she could immediately implement the brilliant idea that had suddenly appeared.
