The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

The next day,

A silver-haired woman seemed to open a book. When she just wanted to read the writing on it, the memory of the male mortal resurfaced, so that moment made the young goddess angry, and she started to close her eyes. “Shit! Why do I even see his face, anyway? What the heck!”

In less than a minute, a cold aura began to be felt there so that without turning around, the virgin seemed to have known who had come there, even though they were not invited. A woman with long black hair was on the left of the room’s owner. She stared expressionlessly at her best friend. “Why are you even like that, Atvertha? Are you okay?”

“Do you think I am okay?” The violet-eyed girl asked back, without turning to look at the other person.

“If you can still talk, then I am sure that there is nothing wrong with you.” The Night Goddess gave an answer lightly as if she had no burden. This made the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia snort, but she still hesitated to look at the guest.

“Instead of you dwelling on him constantly, you must start associating with our people. Many handsome, single, and responsible gods can be your future husband. You can make friends with them, and after a few moments, you can choose one of them.” Nyx made suggestions, but there was no comment from Atvertha yet. She massaged the head area with her left hand, while the white-eyed woman only observed her good friend’s actions.

“Why do you even come here? I did not call you nor invite you.” Atvertha was still in the same position, while her friend did not want to sit down, but observed all the actions taken by the interlocutor, who seemed to not care about her presence.

“Do you think I am doing this voluntarily?” Nyx did not answer the first question. She seemed deliberate to ask a new question, so the girl, who resembled her mother, snorted again in annoyance. There was silence for a while because no one had started the conversation.

After a long silence, the young virgin shook her head for a while. The Moon Goddess’s expression remained expressionless. Meanwhile, the woman who had been standing to Atvertha’s left had not commented further. She still kept an eye on her best friend, who seemed to avoid direct conversation with herself. “It is not funny at all, Nyx.”

“Do you think I am joking?” The woman with a dark aura even chuckled when she saw the other person’s reaction. Nyx seemed to have gotten used to Atvertha’s attitude, which irritated the future Queen of Witches, thus stopping the massage in the head area.

“You are so annoying!” said Atvertha quickly.

“Thank you for your compliment. I never sugar-coated my words and act and you know me so well, right? If you are currently grieving because of a broken heart, then do not make silly statements that you will regret later.” Nyx again showed a relaxed attitude. She did not even take all the words Atvertha had said as insults. Meanwhile, the girl who the God of War favored became shocked by the facts revealed by the woman wearing the dress from the darkness of that night.

“Are you here just to lecture me?” accused Atvertha.

“Do you think I have enough time to do all these things?” Nyx returned the greeting in a relaxed tone, so Atvertha became even more annoyed with her.

“What do you want?” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, tried to chase away the guest. However, Nyx seemed immovable and had not moved from there, even though Atvertha had treated her less favorably. She still stood there, even though the air of horror was growing darker over them.

“Do not you have questions for me that is important? I am bored.” A woman who did not like small talk began to fold her arms in front of her chest. She seemed to challenge Atvertha, who was still grieving, so the resentment that had accumulated in her heart grew even more, so she wanted to say something else.

“Shit!” The lure made by the guest who lived in the underworld worked because Atvertha also issued a slur.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“If you can already curse like this, then I am sure that you are my friend and not someone else. Welcome back, my dearest bestie, because I miss the old you!” A woman who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like the night, and filled with a sprinkling of sparkling light looked satisfied. Nyx even clapped her hands as if celebrating her success whereas.

“Fuck!”

The Night Goddess laughed a little, so the Moon Goddess could not help but laugh along with her best friend. Atvertha also turned to her best friend, and Nyx replied the same way. They stared at each other for a while, then the girl, who was falling in love with a mortal guy for the first time, looked down as soon as possible because she could not hold back the feeling of sadness that rose in her heart. “I hate myself,” said the girl quietly.

“Do not be, my dear. You are more worthy than the male mortal. You are a goddess. Do not forget that we are immortal. Do not lower yourself for that guy. Are you feeling better now?” Nyx asked softly.

The guest, who was the same age as Atvertha, which was two hundred and seventy years, immediately sat there, even though the host had not given permission at all. However, that young lady just kept quiet, as if she did not mind the situation. The atmosphere became quiet again because Nyx still waited for the interlocutor’s reaction.

“No, Nyx. I feel empty inside. I can’t concentrate when doing anything, especially when I am studying. It was annoying me,” replied Atvertha, honestly.

The memory of the male mortal being affectionate with a female mortal when Atvertha was on earth was even more imprinted on her memory. Hence, the fire of jealousy and anger that had not disappeared in her chest ignited that girl. While the guest seemed to think first before giving a comment to the confused Moon Goddess.

“Do you want to visit my place so you can change the atmosphere? The underworld is vast, so you can go sightseeing there.” Nyx offered sincerely, but the silver-haired girl was silent for a long time, then shook her head three times.

“Why do you not want to go there when you have not tried it? Trust me; my land is large enough. You are the Moon Goddess, so there is no problem if you enter the underworld later. Your power is stronger if you are in the darkness. That place is suitable for you.” Nyx tried to persuade Atvertha so that the beautiful girl who was afflicted with grief would follow her plan.

“It is precisely because the underworld is so vast that I am afraid that I will get lost! By the way, are you the only one who rules there and has no other gods or goddesses?” asked Atvertha, full of curiosity. She also tried to forget about the man she loved, who came from a different caste.

This time, it was the turn of the woman with a dark aura to glare at the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia. That moment made the owner of the room frown because she felt she had done nothing wrong.

“What did you say? It is like you just met me!” replied Nyx, annoyedly.

“Wait a minute, then, who is currently leading the underworld? I am sorry, I forgot about that.” The girl felt guilty because she could forget something so important. However, Atvertha still told the truth so that her best friend did not get angry again, and she hoped that Nyx would answer her question.

“Damn! I did not think you would actually have the heart to forget something important. This is ridiculous!” said Nyx, annoyed.

The girl with thin eyebrows just kept quiet because guilt surrounded her. It just did not radiate on her face. After two minutes, they were silent for each other. The guest, who lived in the Underworld, sighed as if carrying a heavy burden.

“Did you seriously forget my family members, especially regarding who is the leader in the Underworld? Atvertha, answer honestly!”

“I-”
