The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later,

Lebrazht’s party had arrived at their destination. This was also known by the God of War, who had been following along, and he became happy.

Ah, finally! I have determined the area of this tribe’s pet companion. If this forest burns, then all the mortals will surely die. If anyone managed to escape, then they would not survive for long because of exhaustion, thought Lord Toghnath.

The eight men were about a hundred meters away from where the wolves were. There were only a few tails there, and the rest had gone somewhere. A light breeze was blowing over their bodies, but Lebrazht had not yet given any instructions, so the six men who were with him did not dare to ask. The fifty-four-year-old man took a few steps forward, separating him from the others.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The Wisdom Tree has rejected my wish and given me a warning. That had never happened while I was Chief of the Agbazarth Tribe. Could it be that the immortal gods and a goddess will attack our village? What would they do to us? Could they be from Atvertha’s parents? In the first place, I did not approve of Armen’s relationship with that strange girl, because she might even bring disaster, thought Lebrazht while looking to the left. But there was nobody there.

“Armen.”

The brave guy was stunned, then suddenly turned towards the summoner, leaving several other middle-aged men behind. He hurriedly walked towards his father, and soon the Moon Goddess’ lover was standing on Lebrazht’s left side, who still had not turned to look at him. “Yes, Dad?” Armen asked, curious.

“You and I have always had disagreements. You always have reasons to argue and today we are given bad news.” The hook-nosed man did not answer his eldest son’s question, thus making the young man silent. On the other hand, Armen did this purposefully out of curiosity about the continuation of the interlocutor’s words.

“You may like to take all my advice for granted, but when the Wisdom Tree refused to grant you the special ability, even if it gave a warning, then it would be a serious disaster for us. If your grandfather, Atmatkha, was still alive, I could be sure one hundred per cent that he would have killed you.” The hazel-eyed man exhaled heavily as if he were holding a heavy burden. Armen did not say anything this time and allowed the other person to express his pent-up feelings.

“You can’t communicate with the wolves, even though it is very important in our tribe. If it is like this, let alone you still refuse to marry, because you insist on waiting for that strange girl, then when it is time for me to return to the realm where the ancestors are, they will definitely blame me and that makes me very ashamed, for failing to educate you.”

“Excuse me, Dad. We can definitely get married. Atvertha can also communicate with them, so the next time I-”

Before the handsome young man could finish his words, the man who had been married for thirty-six years to Norah immediately cut him off. “Enough, Armen! Do you not remember everything the Wisdom Tree said about your relationship? Would you rather sacrifice our tribe because you put your feelings first with that immortal goddess while she could destroy everything? Do not be stupid!”

A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimetres, did not dare to reply to his father’s words because, his tongue felt numb for an unknown, weird reason. Meanwhile, the wolves, who were in the same place but a reasonable distance away, paid no heed to Armen and his party. After about a minute of silence, the silver-haired man turned around, but without even looking to look at his eldest son, and as soon as possible, walked out of the area in a fit of rage.

Armen felt ignored, but he seemed to understand what was happening. The brown-haired boy took the same action and rushed after his father. Meanwhile, Lord Toghnath, who had witnessed all the target’s conversation, could not help but laugh. The God of War did not follow the Moon Goddess’s lover. He chuckled when he found out that the mortal men had left the place.

“How touching. Now, I must immediately destroy this forest and all the creatures in it, including the bloody mortals, so they can’t interfere with my relationship with my lady again.”

The three-hundred-year-old man opened his palms, and then turned to the spot where the wolves were. He grinned, then began to bring his palms closer together, even though they were about five centimetres apart. The atmosphere in the forest remained quiet and they occasionally heard the sound of leaves moving in the wind.

Not long after, the god’s eyes turned red, and then a large ball of fire shot out from his palms. “Die you, mortals!” He said with deep hatred, then aimed the fire at the place where the wolves were.

The vast fire hit several sleeping wolves; some even hit the trees that were there so that those who were hit by the fire immediately woke up. They screamed in pain and tried to run to find a water source. But such action was in vain because they even died miserably. At the same time, several other wolves who witnessed that accident could not do anything. They helped the other pack members to escape as the fire quickly spread into their living area.

Lord Toghnath burst out laughing, then repeated the same deed. He threw a lot of fire into some of the existing trees so that the fire quickly spread in all directions. “I will not hand Atvertha over to any man, let alone that bloody mortal. If he is stupid enough to have a relationship with my lady, then he and all those he cares for must be prepared to die.”

“What should we do, Alpha? Our forest is burning!” A wolf asked another wolf. It was Blue, who was the leader of their pack. They kept running to escape the large fire that had somehow managed to break out there.

“We have to find a safe place so that we can take the next step. Hurry up! I do not want you all to get hurt!” A blue-eyed wolf answered hurriedly. He tried to save the remaining pack members. Meanwhile, suddenly, there was a tree that almost fell on him. However, Blue immediately jumped, allowing him to escape death.

“Hurry Up! We do not have much time!” Blue gave the command so that all the wolves that were actually running in front of him accelerated even more. They kept running, though they did not know where they were going. The alpha could not think and had other options at that point.

“I have to be able to save the existing pack members. Why was there a fire at our place when everything was fine earlier? It is impossible for the Agbazarth Tribe to be the culprit, because their ancestors promised never to harm the pack and it has been going on for generations. I am sure that there must be other causes besides that,” muttered Blue, who kept running to save himself.
