The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Twenty minutes later,

“Fuck! Why do I have to go out with that damn guy, anyway?” grumbled a silver-haired girl. She looked out the window, where things were still brightly lit, including in her own room.

Now, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, could only stay silent, even though she felt anger in her heart, because now, inevitably, the sharp-nosed girl had to go to a party that the Atmenth family would hold with a handsome and playboy man.

“Shit! I am sure that it was happening because of my mom. She is indeed very annoying because she uses her own power to manipulate my thoughts, so the answer I gave was not from my will.”

A light breeze entered the room and then hit the two hundred- and seventy-year-old girl’s face. An idea crossed her mind, so Atvertha seemed to open her lips. “O, Nyx, tut vetnth ionth. Tatmanth te oghtiz!” [1]

There was no need to wait any longer because the room had a whirlwind of strong winds. Atvertha observed what was happening, saying nothing else. In less than a minute, a young woman with black hair appeared. However, the eye color of the newly arrived goddess was white, so it seemed scary to anyone who looked at her.

“Welcome, my best friend. How are you?” said Atvertha, friendly.

“Thank you, Atvertha. I am good. Why did you suddenly call me? Is there something urgent?” Nyx asked without further ado.

“I need your help. This is serious,” replied the pale-faced girl. The visitor raised an eyebrow, a sign that she was confused and needed further answers.

“What do you mean? From the way you talk, it is likely not the Atvertha I usually know. What happened to you?” The woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimeters tall, again asked questions, although Atvertha had not reacted at all.

“I… you might laugh at me.” The Moon Goddess seemed hesitant to answer, thus making her friend even more confused.

“When have I ever laughed at you? Do not waste our time, because you know I can’t stay longer in this palace.” Nyx turned her attention away and then looked out the window. She also pointed at the sunlight, so Atvertha, who saw the gesture as soon as possible, understood.

“I know that. In your opinion… is it worth it for immortals like us to fall in love with a mortal?” The violet-eyed girl finally got up the courage to say something that was stuck in her heart. Meanwhile, the other goddess was silent for a few seconds as if she was digesting what Atvertha had said.

“In my opinion, immortals are forbidden to fall in love with mortals, because our rank is higher than theirs. They can die. However, we live forever as long as someone does not kill us using a special weapon. It is better for a goddess like you can get a god as your mate. Because the existing positions are equal to each other.” The girl, who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like the night, and filled with a sprinkling of sparkling light, answered honestly.

Atvertha fell silent again. Feelings of sadness began to stir within her so that her best friend could already guess what had happened. “Have you fallen in love with a male mortal?” asked the woman, who radiated gloom.

The sharp-nosed girl could only nod in response. Nyx stared intently at the interlocutor. “Who is he? How did you guys meet each other? Did your parents know about this?”

The young woman shook her head, so Nyx said nothing at the moment. “No. They did not know and I did not let mom and dad find out. They will kill me for sure.”

“Of course, they will do that. It is a normal act. By the way, you did not answer me. Who is he? Did he come from the aristocracy? How did you guys meet each other? Be careful with a human. The mortals are not a creature to be trusted. They are so cunning that if you are not careful, you can take pity on them and then be tricked by them.” Nyx gave a warning to her friend, and there was a glint in her white eyes, so Atvertha believed the interlocutor was very serious about what she had said.

“I did not know who he was and his background. I could meet him because he was lying in the forest. He seemed dying. So, I came down to the world and then helped him. After that, I came back here.”

The interlocutor, who had the same age as the Moon Goddess, which was two hundred and seventy years, as soon as possible, widened her eyes when she heard Atvertha’s words. The air of horror was getting thicker in the room, so the silver-haired lady immediately swung her hands to neutralize it.

“What? Are you even desperate to go down to the mortal world just to help save a male mortal? Have you gone mad? You knew nothing about him! What if he was a dirty man or just pretended to be dying, after that he can rape you? Did you think about it? How can you fall in love with a man like that?”

The pale-faced woman looked down. There was silence again for a few moments, and after less than a minute, Atvertha again raised her head and then looked at her friend, who always gave an honest opinion. “He was not faking it, Nyx. At that time, I checked his condition and that mortal male could not even move at all. That guy really almost died from a beast star attack. After I helped him, I really came back here as soon as possible.”

“Why did you even fall in love with that mortal guy? What was so interesting about him, that can make you like that? So many handsome gods, yet you have left the choice to mortals instead. It is such a waste.”

Atvertha’s cheeks flushed red, remembering the stranger. Nyx was still watching the violet-eyed girl with a wary expression. “He… he looked different. He was handsome.”

Nyx chuckled, hearing Atvertha’s innocent answer. “What? So now you like a mortal male just because he looks different and handsome? Do immortals like us lack good-looking gods? You are so funny.”

“I am not kidding at all!” said Atvertha, annoyed.

“Okay. I warn you now. Because this is your first time and you are my close friend, even though you are in love, do not forget to use common sense. The heart can deceive; however, the logical mind will not mislead you. Before you give your heart to a man, especially those who come from the mortal circles, you have to find all the information about that guy, if you need to go into as much detail as possible. It is important for yourself, so you will not regret your decision. Do not be stupid because of love.”

“Thank you, Nyx.” The woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, did not seem offended. However, she instead smiled sincerely at her best friend, who was always reliable when asked for her opinion.

“You are welcome. By the way, you called me here, just to talk about romance? Or maybe there is another issue? If you have another problem, then you should tell me. Our life as goddesses is heavier than all-female mortal problems. We must handle so much work and not necessarily mortal beings can do what we do.”

“Actually, there is one more thing I would like to say it. However, we would better have a drink first.” Atvertha snapped her fingers so that two glasses of water appeared. It appeared in her hand and in Nyx’s hand.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

“Thank you.”

A few moments later, they drank water, and a minute later; the beautiful woman looked at her best friend. Nyx realized this and prefers that Atvertha say first about the topic they want to discuss. “I am upset with mom.”

“This time, what happened to your mom? Have you two fought again?”

“Yeah, we have, Nyx. You would not believe it because she shouted at me.” Atvertha took another sip of the water that was half left, so now it was gone.

The woman with long black hair frowned. “Why did it happen? I can’t imagine if your fight with Goddess Avtexia could be more chaotic than before. Be careful, she is still your mother and also your teacher. What triggered you to become like that?”

“It was all because of-”
