The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Inside a room owned by the Moon Goddess,

“I apologize for putting you in a dangerous situation.” A woman with long black hair looked sad. In fact, the intonation of the voice she used sounded remorseful. Meanwhile, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, could only shake her head though she had not said a word.

“It was not your fault, Nyx. I also apologize for making things worse. I just could not handle myself when I saw my best friend being treated this way, even though he is your oldest brother.” The violet-eyed girl explained as if calming the interlocutor, whose condition still looked the same as before.

“No, you did it right, Atvertha. I just did not think that my big brother could say that. It was an unexpected moment. Usually, he never did it. I was confused.” The events in the underworld were still vivid in her mind, so it made Nyx wonder and try to find answers.

“He might be in a bad mood. We never know what your big brother has been through. Do not feel sorry about that moment. I do noy blame you, though.” The young lady still tried to encourage her best friend. Feelings of hatred did not arise in her heart, because she was trying to understand the situation when she was in another realm.

“Yeah. Even so, he could not do it to my guest. I swear, someday, he will ask for your help. When that incident happened, all of my big brother’s ego was definitely gone one hundred percent.” A woman who hated the sun said spontaneously because of the anger that welled up from inside. Her brother’s behavior, which made the plans that have been drawn up, still embarrasses Nyx, and it becomes chaotic.

“You do not have to do it. He is still your brother, whether or not you like the fact. By the way, is it really rare to have guests there, let alone those from the upper world like me, so that he did this? If so, then I could not blame his act.” Atvertha tried to dig up more information, in order to identify the problem caused by the creepy man who had an argument with her.

When she heard the words of the Moon Goddess, the interlocutor was silent for a long time. Meanwhile, a terrifying aura re-emerged in the room, so the girl who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall raised both hands and began to fan the air. Not long after, the unpleasant air that came from Nyx gradually disappeared.

“When it comes to guests who come from the Upper world, it is very rare for anyone to come. Usually, we are the only ones who come to visit the area that has been designated as a part of each. Despite that, it did not mean that he could intimidate you like that because you are my friend and my guest there. He made me ashamed.” The two hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman finally spoke. Atvertha just nodded in the initial response.

“It is okay. Let’s just say he was in a bad mood. By the way, thank you for inviting me there, even though something unexpected happened.” Atvertha said sincerely, although the expression that appeared on her face remained flat. Nyx, who saw this, did not mind, even though the incident was still vivid in her mind.

“Do not be sad. I am really okay. That was just a terrible event. Oh yeah, who is he? I mean, who is his name?” asked Atvertha, curious. The Night Goddess still did not answer, and it sounded like she was panting as if she was carrying such a heavy burden.

“His name is Havento. That guy is the oldest son in my family, and he has been the ruler of the underworld since my father gave it to him. My brother is usually always cold, firm, and uncompromising. He is the most annoying god, for sure. To be honest, I and him rarely said hello, because our territories were indeed given differently, even far from each other. I wonder why he suddenly appeared in my area,” answered Nyx, full of regret.

The woman, wearing a dress made of dark blue and black like the night and filled with sparkling light, fell silent again while Atvertha was increasingly interested in the information her friend had just given. However, she restrained herself and turned her gaze towards the window.

The sun’s light seemed to shine brightly, making her room bright. The atmosphere in the room was quiet because the Moon Goddess and the Night Goddess still had no conversation. They sat side by side, but their minds were elsewhere. “Did you enjoy that, Atvertha?”

Such a question had distracted the name’s owner, so she turned to the underworld goddess. “Pardon?” asked Atvertha, who wanted clarity from the black-haired woman.

“Do you enjoy living in the upper world? How do you feel about my world?” The woman who hated the sun explained the meaning of the original question. Atvertha looked back at the window for a while. After that, she turned to Nyx, who was already waiting for an answer from the Moon Goddess, who liked the male mortal.

“I prefer to live a balanced life. I like sunlight, but I dislike being exposed to it for too long. Darkness is scary, but it gives a calm inside me. When I was visiting the underworld, I liked it. But the dark atmosphere was too strong, maybe because it was my first time there. I love the earth too because I can feel warmth there and my followers mostly live there. If I can, I want to live in three realms; in the upper world, on earth, and in the underworld.” The answer stunned Nyx, as if her best friend would not be able to say that.

“No way! You can’t possibly live in three realms at once. It is too dangerous. There is no balance in our immortal life because we are special. You have to choose the best for yourself. My suggestion is, you can start to search for a suitable area before your mom gives you a full right as a goddess. If to visit two other realms, then this can be done. For example, if you want to visit me, you can tell me, and I will invite you there.”

The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, frowned. “Why is it impossible for me to be in the three realms? Is it not that we can go to a realm freely as immortals? Except for the underworld, because it is a realm that is specifically for you and your family.”

“Atvertha, every god and goddess has their own place to live, although to visit a realm, there are indeed those who require special permission, like in my place. Later, you will have a lot to do with the night, which means you will be so close to me. Do not forget you have to handle all things about witches, and they live on earth. How about you create your own realm? But to be frank, it is not easy to create that, because it requires a high level of magick knowledge, or for a faster result, you can ask your mother or your father to help you out. You can try it later once you are ready.”

The smart girl listened intently. Atvertha thought that the facts the other person had given rise to new inspiration had put that forward so that a feeling of pleasure enveloped her. “That is a great idea. I will try to find a suitable realm to live in, even though my time has not come.”

“Sure, you may. There is no need to rush. You still have to learn, so that later, when your mom tests you, you can do it properly. I am sure that you can do it.” A sister of Lord Hevanto seemed to give encouragement, so Atvertha nodded again in agreement with these words.

“Thank you, Nyx. Too bad I was only there for a short time, in order to avoid a meaningless fuss. I did not want to ruin anything there. After all, he is still your big brother, right? Blood is thicker than water, so yeah … I hope someday I can visit you again in the underworld if you allowed me.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Of course, I am sure about that! You are my best friend and that title has never changed.”
