The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In the area of Lebrazht Lugthna’s house,

“What? Did I hear correctly?” said a silver-haired girl. She tried to get up and was helped by a young man with a scary aura. Now, Atvertha was standing next to Havento. All the immortal gods and goddesses tried to find the source of the voice, but they could not find the voice’s owner, who had cursed Armen and his tribe.

“What-”

Before the young lady had time to continue speaking, she gave up her intention because she saw two figures of immortal gods flying in the sky, and one of them was hugging an immortal goddess. The God of Communication knew these three figures, so without realizing it, he said, “It is Lord Helion, Goddess Avtexia, and Toghnath. They are coming back.”

Those two figures slowly descended from the sky and stood not far from the mortals, who were unable to move. A curly-haired man still hid wolf spirits, including one that had taken the form of a large black dog. The atmosphere became tense because they were facing the Upper World gods and a goddess. That red-eyed woman looked healthy, and she was standing next to her beloved husband.

“Because you prefer that shitty mortal guy, then I curse him and all the tribe members so that they die! There is not a single one left, and this village becomes a ghost village!”

Atvertha’s eyes, which were already back to violet, suddenly turned orange again as a result of hearing her biological mother’s curse. “No! They will not die but will still live. All mortals will live long and become one with the wolf pack. They will protect each other, and I will be their protective goddess!”

Goddess Avtexia’s face was clearly furious. A woman who hated darkness will not let mortals live, as Atvertha said. “How dare you defend them! The mortals and all the wolf packs you mentioned will die, and no one will survive!”

“I am the Moon Goddess. I bless all members of the Agbazarth Tribe, and the wolf pack to keep breathing. They have become one pack, and the mortals turn into wolves with every full moon. All death curses come from the Goddess Avtexia or the other god, or the goddess will not prevail over them.” The young girl with a sharp nose broke every curse uttered by her mother so that the woman who had power over sunlight became even more angry.

“Those mortals who can turn into wolves can still die from age! Any weapon made of silver can kill them, even though they are under your protection!” After saying the curse, Goddess Avtexia turned to Lord Helion and Toghnath. The atmosphere fell silent again because no one dared to respond to the four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman’s words.

“Come on, let’s get out of here, darling! Starting today, Atvertha is not my daughter anymore!” A woman who passed down her beauty to her only daughter has now made a firm statement so that all mortals and immortals who have heard it feel sorry, especially Lord Helion. A man who wore a crown on his head did not want to do the same with his wife. The virgin goddess actually felt the opposite.

In less than two minutes, Lord Helion, Goddess Avtexia, and Toghnath flew and left Earth. This scene was witnessed directly by mortals, immortal gods, goddesses, and several wolf spirits still protected by Hertinoz. The slender girl closed her eyes because the happiness she had felt suddenly disappeared from her mind and was replaced by profound sadness.

I could not be a full-time goddess if Mom had already cut ties me with the family. How can I fulfil my promise with Hertinoz and Havento if my power is still locked by my parents? Who can help me? Atvertha thought sadly. A girl with thin eyebrows was unable to express her feelings to anyone.

Without the girl realizing it, the burly man standing next to her turned to Atvertha and studied the opposite sex carefully. Nyx’s eldest brother could not bear to see the woman he loved so silent, as if she was carrying a heavy burden. “Are you okay? You can talk to me privately, and I will help you.”

The name’s owner spontaneously opened both eyes, then turned towards the source of the voice because the man was speaking to her in immortal language, which mortals would not understand at all. Immortal gods and a goddess in the same place also glanced at Havento because the boy had started chatting in their language.

Atvertha ignored the curious looks of her people, and the virgin chose to focus on a god she was talking to. “I… I am just afraid I can’t keep my promise to you and Hertinoz.”

The three hundred and ten-year-old man frowned. Havento realized that they were the centre of attention, but he did not care about it because the Lord of the Underworld wanted to know what was causing the girl’s difficulties. “Why do you even say that? Do you have a problem? Tell me directly. Who knows, I might be able to help you.”

“I… did Nyx ever tell you that I have not become a full-time goddess because I have to go through a test from my parent?” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres, started her story, and the man just nodded in response. Meanwhile, Hertinoz could only shake his head, seeing Havento’s behaviour towards Atvertha.

Havento and Goddess Atvertha are great together. They can complement each other. Goddess Avtexia even threw away her daughter, and that was very unfortunate. Now, I am just waiting to see what they will do about the deal we made from Ask Your Fellow Spell, thought Hertinoz. The young man did not seem to want to get involved.

“You have heard that Mom said I was no longer her daughter. What should I do with my power? If I have not passed their test, how about my magick? Besides, where should I stay? There is no way I am going back to the palace, Dad, because if I go back there, then I might as well marry Toghnath.” The Moon Goddess could not help but express what she was afraid of. Meanwhile, Lord Athalamaya and his wife only listened to the conversation between Atvertha and Havento.

“You do not have to worry. You can stay in my place as long as you want and use the same guest room. I will help you.” A cold-faced man tried to calm the opposite sex, so the pink-lipped girl felt touched. Atvertha nodded, having a glimmer of hope.

“Excuse me, Goddess Atvertha and Lord Havento.” When they heard their names called, the Moon Goddess and the God of the Underworld simultaneously turned to the front, and they saw Lord Athalamaya and his wife.

The expressions of the immortal husband and wife looked sad but not one hundred per cent. The six-hundred-year-old man started asking the Crossroads Lady. “I apologize for interrupting your conversation. If I am not mistaken, Goddess Atvertha said earlier that she would be the protective goddess for the Agbazarth Tribe, especially since they would turn into werewolves during the full moon. How about me and my wife? Will we be forgotten?”

“I am sorry, Lord Athalamaya. I did not mean to replace you. You and your spouse are still the God and Goddess for this tribe, but I will be their protector in the night so we can work together.” A young lady who liked darkness answered sincerely so that the god she was talking to was relieved and happy.

“Thank you, Goddess Atvertha. I agree with your words. At night, your power is greater, while we are weaker. We can work together well because the more alliances there are, the better.” The friendly-faced man had no problem with this decision. He and Goddess Tathatea looked back and were reminded of mortals’ protectors.

Lord Athalamaya turned again to Armen Faustus’ Lugthna future wife. “Goddess Atvertha. Have you decided on the government system of the Agbazarth Tribe and the pack of wolves? They have become one group, so there must be clear and firm rules about what they can do and what they are prohibited from doing. If so, then you must immediately announce it, including our position.”

A woman who looked younger than her age was silent momentarily, and then an idea came to mind. Meanwhile, the two mortal gods were still monitoring Atvertha’s behaviour. “Thank you, Lord Athalamaya. I already know what has to be done. Should I make an announcement now, or perhaps there is a custom that any activity must involve the chief and the High Priest?”

“If the situation is like now, then Goddess Atvertha can speak directly to them, so there will be no clashes later. If it is deemed necessary later, I will help you call the tribal chief or High Priest.” A man who had long been the tribe’s protector began to turn his face towards Armen’s biological father.

“I agree, but before that…” Atvertha deliberately did not want to finish the sentence, so Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea waited to see what the other person was going to do. The pale-faced girl looked at Hertinoz, so the guy was stunned.

“Hertinoz, thank you for your help. Please make the wolf spirits, including the five black dogs, visible again.”

“Yes, Goddess.” That blonde man started to open his hands, then pointed both hands down. Miraculously, several wolf spirits appeared, and five large black dogs appeared. They all bowed their heads as if paying respects to the immortal goddess.

“You have to come with me. I will introduce you in front of people.”

The wolf spirits seemed to understand what the goddess was saying. Atvertha looked at Havento and Hertinoz alternately. The two immortal guys had not said anything yet because they were waiting for what the wallflower girl had to say. “Please accompany me too. I want to make an important announcement in front of the mortals. I need both of you.”

“Okay. I thought you did not want me and Hertinoz to be there.” A man who was the first child of the couple, Lord Hetzh-the Lord of Darkness and Goddess Aymenth-the Lord of Sorrow tried to act as normal as possible, even though Havento knew that the young lady would announce something else, which must be related to her relationship with Armen.

“I still need you and Hertinoz. I am indebted to you, so I will never forget your kindness.” Atvertha spoke seriously while looking at the two immortal gods.

“You do not have to say that. You do not owe us anything.” The tall man rejected the opposite sex’s statement, while the two immortal gods and a goddess only listened to Atvertha and Havento’s conversation.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

“Thank you. I want to announce something, but before that, please make the mortals not be as silent as statues.” Atvertha asked politely, so the two young men nodded in response. The three gods and two goddesses walked along, followed by several wolf spirits and five large black dogs.

The three immortal gods and two goddesses had arrived in front of the mortals, who were still alive but were as still as statues. They knew that there were fifth immortal figures, but they could not do anything about it because the circumstances were not yet possible. Atvertha looked at the mortals at the front one by one. The young lady saw a middle-aged man wearing a white robe. That man looked embarrassed because he was being stared at directly by the Moon Goddess. However, he could not do much.

Atvertha shifted her attention, then began to say, “I, Goddess Atvertha, as the Moon Goddess-”
