The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later,

A young girl was seen stopping in front of the door of a room. She knocked on the door several times but still did not get an answer. It was quiet there, so she would surely hear the slightest sound in the room of the Moon Goddess, who was heartbroken.

“It is strange. Usually, Goddess Atvertha will make a sound if she hears a voice from outside the room, but why does this time she does not do it?” muttered the maid, confused.

The blonde-haired woman knocked again, hoping that the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, would appear. However, after waiting for a while, those hopes have not come true. Meanwhile, a violet-eyed girl still kept her eyes closed. She heard a voice from behind the door, but she deliberately ignored such an event.

The young goddess had been trying to sleep, but it was so hard to do, especially when her mind was troubled. Why do I keep thinking about that male mortal? He is not my mate, but the memory really hurt my heart. He was so close to that girl. Shit! Why do I have to think about that incident, anyway? I must sleep so that when I wake up, all bad feelings will disappear, and I will be better, Atvertha thought nervously.

“Goddess Atvertha.” There was the sound of someone calling the name of the Moon Goddess. However, the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman deliberately ignored it and chose not to hear that call. Meanwhile, the servant who Goddess Avtexia had ordered began to feel anxious because there was no sign of an answer from the immortal goddess.

“Goddess Atvertha.” The maid tried to keep saying the same thing. She looked restless but seemed reluctant to give up so easily.

The sound of a knock on the door, plus someone kept calling her name, irritated the girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall. She immediately got out of bed and walked toward the door. A million negative emotions were in her mind, but Atvertha tried to hold back so that anger did not explode.

When she opened the door, she saw a familiar girl. That young maid was stunned, then spontaneously saluted. “What is it?” asked Atvertha, matter-of-factly.

“Pardon me, Goddess. You were called by-”

Before she could continue her answer, Atvertha had already cut her off. “I do not want to go there. If mom asks about me, then you can tell her if I want to sleep.”

As soon as possible, the pale-faced girl closed the door, then walked towards the chair usually used for studying. When she got there, Atvertha sat down and then grabbed a still-open parchment. The virgin goddess started to read what she had written, even though she was not concentrating.

“Do not let the lesson be interrupted easily just because I remember that male mortal. Shit! I can’t get him out of my mind. This is so difficult for me, but I am sure that I can survive through it all. I should learn a lot from Nyx because she is the expert in this situation,” said Atvertha while massaging her head with her left hand.

While outside the room, the maid was still standing behind the door. She looked awry, having failed to carry out the orders of the Sun Goddess. “I must immediately report to Goddess Avtexia, even though the results are not as my expected. I hope she will not gets angry with me,” the maid hoped.

Ten minutes later

“What? She did not want to come here?” asked the four hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman.

A blue-eyed woman as soon as possible frowned when she heard what her subordinates said. On the right side of the goddess is a man wearing a crown. A man with black hair was not far from the husband and wife. He also came from the immortal god circle same as them.

“That was right, Goddess. Goddess Atvertha refused to came and she said to me that she wanted to sleep,” replied the maid.

That maid answered such a question carefully as if she was afraid to offend the other person. Meanwhile, the man who carried a trident and was sitting next to his spouse began to look worried, for fear that his wife’s anger would spring up, which could make it difficult for them all.

The atmosphere in the room felt awkward because there was no conversation yet. The God of War seemed to be thinking about something, and suddenly an idea crossed the mind of the handsome playboy man. He turned to the woman who had given birth to the girl he loved. “Goddess Avtexia.”

The owner of the name also turned, as did her husband. Meanwhile, the maid was still waiting for directions from her master, so she did not dare to say anything. “Sorry if I disturb you. How about you check on Atvertha? Who knows something has happened to her, so she did not want to come here?”

“What do you mean?” asked Goddess Avtexia, confused. She did not seem to understand the meaning of the thick-haired man’s question.

“I mean, if possible, your daughter must have experienced an event which was unpleasant for her, resulting in her mood being changed by a sudden. So far, Atvertha has been so secretive and difficult to approach that I could not know what was stored in her heart,” replied the God of War, who explained his current question to his future mother-in-law.

“That is a good idea. Thank you, Toghnath.”

After saying so, the slender woman began to open her palms, and then she stared at them for a long time. In less than a minute, a pink light appeared, which was getting bigger and bigger. A few moments later, a beautiful girl appeared reading a book, and on the right side, there were many parchments that had been opened and many writings on them.

“The Queen of Witches must know about the period of the moon, from the new moon to the full moon, because it relates such moments to rituals, as well as spells that witches will perform. Not only that, on every available day, there is a use for spell timing and can be combined with crystals according to the intention. Example: Mondays are effective for success, wealth, abundance, personal growth, healing, and creativity spells. For Tuesday….”

The biological mother’s heart began to feel heavy because she saw her daughter studying hard in her room. In fact, the girl’s expression really showed this. A wave of anger that had arisen in her heart as soon as possible disappeared instantly and was replaced with compassion. Meanwhile, God Helion and God Toghnath also felt happy because Atvertha actually seemed to be diligent in studying. However, there was something odd for the amber-eyed man, even though he had not found the cause yet.

The sight of the Moon Goddess’ activities was fading away. The intelligent girl’s expression began to disappear from sight. However, before long, Goddess Avtexia closed her palms, then clapped her palms three times, and the atmosphere in the room became silent again.

“It turns out that our daughter does not really sleep. She actually used her time effectively by studying alone.” The brown-eyed man wearing the crown opened a conversation, so the Goddess of the Sun, who was his lovely wife, and their guest looked at the ruler of the ocean.

Atvertha’s situation seems like there is nothing to worry about, but lately, I have noticed something different about her attitude. She looked gloomier. In fact, she was looking scarier than ever, like she was a different goddess than I had ever known. She might hide something from me and even from her parents. It is okay. I have to find out by myself, thought the playboy.

“Yes. I did not even think she would do like that. By the way, Toghnath, did you-”
