The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Forty minutes later,

A silver-haired girl was seen walking while carrying several books in both hands. Several parchments and a bottle filled with ink also flew to her left. It was so quiet in the palace halls that the young lady’s footsteps could be heard, though not too loudly.

A light breeze hit the beautiful face of the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, so she could feel the coolness. Within her has grown a firm determination. “I have to study diligently so that Mom does not take away the title of the goddess, as well as the power that I have,” Atvertha muttered softly.

The smart lady kept walking and soon arrived in front of the library room. However, the virgin heard a loud noise, as if someone was running toward her, which caused the Moon Goddess to turn to the right and immediately squeak in disgust. “Wait for me, my dear!”

“What the fuck?” Atvertha hissed, irritated.

The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, did not like being called that, but Atvertha became curious about the man’s motives, so she still stood at the door. In less than two minutes, the God of War was standing on the right side of the woman he idolized.

“Where are you going, my dear?” asked the amber-eyed man.

That young lady did not answer yet and chose to turn her gaze toward the door. The girl had deliberately ignored the annoying guy who had come there on his own initiative. The atmosphere became quiet for a few seconds, but that did not change the intention of Lord Toghnath, who had established himself to meet Atvertha.

“I want to study in the library. Why are you even here? You are like a ghost. Because you always appear uninvited,” Atvertha replied. She said in a sarcastic tone. However, the opposite sex instead chuckled and did not feel offended at all.

“I miss you, my dear. I was here on purpose to meet you, but Goddess Avtexia said that you must be in the library, so I asked her permission to meet you, and then she approved it.” The burly man explained excitedly, but this still did not interest Atvertha.

“You always come to see me. Do not you have any other work to do? Annoying!” said the violet-eyed girl. She wanted to enter the room as soon as possible, but the man instead changed positions and was already in front of Atvertha, so the library door was closed by God Toghnath’s back.

“I am annoying, but it is all because I want to get closer to you. That is a normal thing. Now, how about you study with me? I will teach you if you want to.” The virgin immediately shook her head when she heard the idea. However, the man who had been standing in front of her did not seem to want to give up and had not yet shifted from that position.

“Why not? I have become a god with full responsibilities, though regarding spells, etc. I am not very good at it, but I can teach you though. Try me.” The man with thick eyebrows continued to force his will, but Atvertha seemed unaffected by all that.

The girl turned around and walked away, which irritated Toghnath. “My dear, if you do not want to study in the library, how about we go for a walk? I will ask your parents for permission and they will definitely allow it.”

Damn it! That bastard still bothers me! Mom even permitted him to come to the library to meet and distract me during my study hour. Mom really wanted to set me up with that moron. At this rate, it is better for me to come to the earth and see the male mortal, Atvertha thought, irritated.

“I do not want to go with you. I need to study alone,” said Atvertha briefly.

That slender woman continued to walk briskly, followed by some parchments and a bottle of ink that had been with her all along. However, the playboy still did not give up, so he tried to follow in the footsteps of the opposite sex.

“Come on, my dear! Do not be so stiff. If you occasionally go out for fun, it will not make you become a mortal either. You will remain an immortal, the moon goddess because it is your destiny for sure.”

The girl’s heart beat faster when she heard the word ‘mortal’ being mentioned. It reminded the young lady of the male mortal that she always missed, so Atvertha stopped walking. Meanwhile, the God of War was stunned because he saw the reaction of the opposite sex, which looked strange in his eyes. “Are you okay, my love? Do you need something?”

“Leave me alone.”

The girl’s eyes turned orange. The three-hundred-year-old man realized this. He was horrified because this was the first time he had witnessed such a change in the woman he admired. Meanwhile, the young goddess felt a sudden strangeness, but she could not explain the strange moment.

“But-”

Before Lord Toghnath could finish speaking, the strange-looking opposite sex had already cut him off. “I said leave me alone!”

A terrifying aura as soon as possible emanated from Atvertha, so the man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-five centimeters tall, suddenly retreated as if there was some power that forced him to do such an act. The wallflower woman continued the delayed steps, accompanied by a look of wonder and fear from the other person.

“What was wrong with Atvertha? She was not like the goddess I know. I thought she was in a bad mood. But why is it that every time we meet, that girl always acts weird?” muttered Toghnath, frowning. Meanwhile, the virgin goddess was still walking, even though she was in an unstable condition. In fact, she felt that her whole body felt hot as if something has filled it with fire.

Fifteen minutes later,

“How is it? Have you met our daughter yet?” A man carrying a trident finally asked the God of War, who had just arrived there. Meanwhile, his wife was next to him. However, she had noticed signs of strangeness, though it had not yet been expressed.

“Yes. I have already met her, God Helion.” The interlocutor answered honestly. However, the playboy’s face looked pale, so that moment made both Atvertha’s parents suspicious because they had never seen Toghnath like that.

“What happened, Toghnath?” asked Goddess Avtexia without further ado.

“I … I do not know how to explain this,” replied the man with thick eyebrows, shaking his head. This made the Goddess of the Sun and the God of the Sea increase their suspicions.

Lord Toghnath even had time to stutter a little when giving an answer. Feelings of confusion, fear, and all things that could not be expressed had mixed together inside him. “Better you tell us what was going on when you met her? Did you fight with Atvertha? Did she do anything weird?” Goddess Avtexia asked a barrage of questions.

“I… Atvertha was getting weird. She… she seemed like… someone else.” The black-haired man answered haltingly.

“What did you mean? Is my daughter sick or has anything happened to her?”

“No, she was not sick. I saw her eye color change suddenly. I have never seen that before.”

God Helion and his wife looked at each other. The atmosphere in the place became silent for a few moments. “Could it be our daughter-”
