The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

On a sunny afternoon in the Earth area,

In a tranquil area, in fact, there was no one on the beach. There were two women who seemed to be floating in the air. The atmosphere there was tranquil. The mood at that location was still a bit hot because the sun was shining, although the light was not as bright as in the middle of the day.

“Are you sure we will create your realm here, Atvertha?” A black-haired woman asked her friend, who seemed to be waiting for someone. The name’s owner, who had been staring at the sea, suddenly turned to the goddess she was talking to because she heard that her name was being called.

“I do not know where to make my realm. One thing I know is we have to wait for my dad first because he will help.” The virgin goddess answered Havento’s sister’s question with all seriousness. Meanwhile, the white-eyed woman could only purse her lips, even though inside, she was very annoyed with the existing situation.

“Are you sure that Lord Helion asked you for us to wait here?” The Night Goddess insisted on leaving there, but she had not yet found a good reason, so she was forced to ask more questions. Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife shook her head in response, then looked back at the ocean where the tide was occasionally visible but not too high.

“At least you can say something to me instead of just shaking your head! You think I am a mortal woman, huh?!” Nyx retorted, annoyed by her friend’s behaviour, who was still silent, looking at the sea there.

“I never thought of you as a mortal woman. We have to keep waiting for my father in this place. He has agreed to help create my own realm, so I have to stick to my promise.” The violet-eyed woman finally answered Nyx’s question. When she heard such a sentence, Lord Toretz’s wife spontaneously snorted. She did not even hide her annoyance because she finally got the response she wanted after Nyx complained to the Moon Goddess.

“I hate sunlight. You make me melt, Atvertha!” The woman who looked scary could not help being annoyed because she hated sunlight so much. Lebrazht Lugthna’s future daughter-in-law snapped her fingers, so the place where her friend was standing turned into night as soon as possible. This situation made Nyx’s heart happy and entertained.

“This is better. Thank you.” Atvertha just nodded. She continued to stare out at the ocean, feeling incredibly uneasy.

Did Dad forget our promise? But, before going here, I had confirmed it from the start, and he said we had to wait here because he had to do something meaningful at the bottom of the ocean. I am being curious. What did he do? Why did it take so long, anyway? Maybe something happened to Dad? No. I should not think like that, Atvertha thought, and she was already very anxious.

Amidst the sound of crashing waves, the atmosphere between the immortal goddesses was quiet again. Their conversation seemed to have ended just like that. In less than a minute, suddenly, the seawater split into two. A woman who had lived in the Underworld since birth frowned because the view she saw was infrequent for her to witness. From the middle of the ocean, a man could be seen walking proudly as if there were no obstacles at all.

Goddess Atvertha’s expression, which was initially worried, now brightened because she knew who the figure was walking out of the sea. “That is my dad!” said Atvertha, happily.

Nyx’s eyes narrowed, hearing the words of her happy friend. She also witnessed the same scene, so this raised a question within the immortal goddess, “What? Does Lord Helion now prefer to live in the ocean rather than in the palace I used to visit? I do not know that.” asked the woman who was always loyal to her husband.

“No, he does not live in the sea. Dad still lives in the palace in the sky, but he still has to control the sea periodically,” answered Atvertha, who didn’t take her eyes off the man holding the trident in his right hand. A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres, began to fly towards land because she saw that her father would soon arrive on the ground.

Nyx realized this and followed the other goddess’s actions without further ado. In her heart, the woman who lived in the Underworld felt annoyed because Atvertha just left without saying anything to her.

Goddess Atvertha decided not to fly anymore, but she planted her feet on the sand because her father was only ten meters away from her. Meanwhile, Nyx, who had been accompanying the virgin goddess, did not want to be left behind. She also landed on the beach and stood to the left of the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia.

The Lord of the Seas has arrived on shore. He broadly smiled when he saw the figure of a young girl whose appearance was very similar to his wife, and the Crossroads Lady smiled back at her biological father. Nyx did not take any other action because she was bound by a promise to help her good friend.

The four hundred-and-forty-year-old man was already approximately one meter away from Atvertha. “Princess! I thought you would not come.” Lord Helion said as he hugged the daughter’s slender body.

A woman with thin eyebrows returned her father’s hug. “Of course, I will come, Dad. I can’t wait to have my own house.” Goddess Avtexia’s husband let go of the hug.

“Well, it is better if we just choose a new realm for you, Princess. Do you want to live close to Earth or have your own options?” A man who could create massive winds and storms asked Atvertha, glancing at the woman standing near the Queen of Witches.

“I want to be in a place far away but close to everywhere. My realm can only be accessed by myself, Dad, Nyx, my husband, and my pet companion. If there are guests, they must ask permission first. If I do not give permission, then he will sink into another and endless realm.” Atvertha answered and explained what kind of place he wanted,

“I have no idea. What about you, Nyx? Do you have a good idea?” Lord Helion deliberately asked the other goddess because he did not want the daughter’s best friend to sit there without contributing anything.

“Hm… how far do you want to go?” A scary woman who owned a garden in the Underworld asked Atvertha a question without answering the question from the opposite sex first. That young lady was silent for a few seconds, and then she got an idea of the answer to Nyx’s question.

“I want it to be somewhere very far away. If possible, around three hundred billion kalayana.” [1] A violet-eyed woman answered so straightforwardly that the two immortals stared wide-eyed, especially the Night Goddess.

“What? Three hundred billion kalayana? That means you have completely separated yourself from the realm of the immortals?” Nyx glared because she could not understand the mindset of her friend, whom she considered very magical.

“Yes. I intend that so that no immortal god or goddess can come carelessly. I have a plan if the only selective people who can access the place are me, my husband, Dad, you, and my pet companion. As for the immortal god or other goddesses who want to visit, they have to ask permission first. Apart from that, there will be a shortcut entrance for you and Dad, so you can visit any time with a special password so no one sneaks in.”

The young lady, who always looked youthful, explained what she wanted so that the Night Goddess could understand. Both Nyx and Lord Helion were silent, and neither of them had commented on the explanation of Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover. After being silent for several minutes, the man who lived in two places turned his gaze towards the sky so that his daughter also turned to the point seen by the opposite sex. Havento’s third sister frowned because she realized that a father and his daughter were looking at the same spot and were not talking.

This state of silence lasted for a long time, which annoyed Nyx because she felt ignored by Lord Helion and Atvertha. “What happened? Is there anything interesting there? Why are you all silent? I am still here!” The woman who lived in the Underworld asked annoyedly.

A man with dark brown eyes turned to Nyx, while Atvertha could only shake her head. “I was looking for something and just found the place my daughter wanted. The place is exactly what my daughter said. We would be better off going there, but we have to call Lord Tezatreo the God who has power over all dimensions. Without his permission, we can’t go there.” Lord Helion answered the opposite sex.

“Okay. I understand. Lord Helion, could you please call Lord Tezatreo so that we can go there as soon as possible?” Nyx asked politely, remembering that the opposite sex was one of the senior gods and outlived her. Atvertha remained silent and observed the conversation between her friend and her beloved father.

The man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimetres tall, offered his right hand to the Moon Goddess. “Okay. Now, we have to form a circle with me in the middle. You have to hold hands, and my Princess has to hold my hand. You can hold my trident. We all have to join forces so that-”
