The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a room,

A beautiful woman with long hair looked pensive alone. She was staring into the mirror, which reflected her own image. There was a pale blank expression on it, but in her heart, there was deep anxiety that made the smart lady have to take action.

“I can’t stay like this forever. I have to do something,” Atvertha muttered, restless. The image of the friend appeared again in her mind, so that moment gave rise to an idea for her. “I can ask help from Nyx. She knows the state of the earth more than I do. She might want to lend a helping hand to me.”

The index finger of the right began to be pressed against the mirror while reciting a spell, “O, Nyx, tut vetnth ionth. Obgethentha tut eth githz eino!” [1]

A few moments later, a room with minimal lighting appeared, so the moon goddess had to squint so she could see clearly. The atmosphere on the other side was indeed quiet; no one was even visible so that at such a moment made a slim woman confused and curious at the same time.

“Where is Nyx? I have read the spell correctly,” Atvertha muttered, worried.

“Atvertha? Is that you?” There was a voice, so the girl whose name someone mentioned suddenly became happy, even though the face of the other person was not visible to her.

“Yes, Nyx. It is me. Where are you? I cannot see you.” The virgin tried to find her best friend because the situation on the other side was still the same, so this made her confused.

“I am here. I do not want to show myself. Do you want me to do something? Just tell me.” The Night Goddess was still reluctant to show herself, so the girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall became annoyed. However, it was all only temporary.

“Yes. Is it night in the world? I am going there to meet that male mortal.” The virgin lady tried to dare to express her heart, so suddenly a scary face appeared in the mirror, and made Atvertha a little surprised. However, she still tried to remain calm.

“Have you lost your mind? Did not I tell you at that time to stay away from a male mortal? This is a serious problem, Atvertha. Do not you understand at all?” The white-eyed woman was asking questions repeatedly and her intonation had risen slightly, a sign that she was annoyed with the other person.

“Nyx, for other things, do not worry about that. I just want to know, is it night in the world? I can go crazy if I have not met that guy. Please help me. You can pretend that I never asked this.” Atvertha gave an unsatisfactory answer, so her best friend immediately shook her head.

“I do not want to get involved with your love affair with the bloody mortal. They are disgusting! This time, I can’t help you. Do it yourself!” said the woman who was still in the underworld. Meanwhile, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia tried to negotiate, although that was very unlikely.

“Nyx-”

Before Atvertha could finish her words, the shadow on the other side suddenly disappeared so that now only her reflection was visible. The woman in the long white dress removed her index finger from the mirror and then exhaled heavily.

“She really does not want to help,” Atvertha mumbled quietly. “Instead of staying here and getting nothing, it is better if I go straight to the world while the lesson is over, and there is no need to gather for a long time period.”

Twelve minutes later

A woman with thin eyebrows had arrived in a forest, where a cave was right in front of her. The feeling of the goddess also rumbled as if she was about to meet someone special, so both cheeks felt hot. She shook her head slowly, then ventured into it.

A few moments later, Atvertha’s body flew up and then went inside so that the torches that were already dead suddenly lit up by themselves. A spider that was in its nest on the wall started to notice something strange so that the eight-legged animal was surprised when he found out who had come there.

“Oh, is not that the Moon Goddess?” he muttered quietly.

Unexpectedly, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, turned to the tiny creature, causing the creature to gasp for a moment. The mystical atmosphere immediately radiated, so the spider directly paid his respects to the immortal goddess.

“Spider, is the male mortal that was dying at that time still here?”

“He is long gone from this place, Goddess. Is there anything I can help you with?”

“There is not any. Thank you, Spider.”

“You are welcome, Goddess. If you need anything, I will help you gladly.”

The expressionless girl flew back into the air. She drew closer to the bed the stranger had used. The spider was still watching the actions of the guest who had come there uninvited at all. The bed looked dirty and, at the same time, so dusty, as a sign that no one had occupied it for a long time.

When Atvertha researched further, it turned out there was one scene that made Atvertha interested; there was a cloth stained with blood, so she pointed her right hand at it and, as soon as possible, moved toward the smart lady. No need to wait any longer; the object was already in her hand.

“Tathvion nevth etvh mortal mothv thovth!” [2]

The clothes turned into a bright light, dazzling anyone who saw it. However, from there, flashes of events that occurred in the past emerged so that the slender woman could find out what the mortal male had done and where the macho man had gone.

“Now I know where did he go,” said Atvertha slowly.

The violet-eyed girl flew out and said nothing to the spider. The torches were still burning, even though the goddess was gone. Meanwhile, the clothes in her hand had not been removed. Atvertha flew in the direction shown by the object.

She felt a light breeze on her skin. The sound of the nocturnal animals was heard, so the atmosphere of silence was not too pronounced. Meanwhile, a strange woman appeared from the darkness. The female goddess was looking at the silver-haired girl, shaking her head a few times, but she did not disturb what she was doing.

“I have told her to just forget about the mortal, but she still persisted and kept coming to earth, just to meet the male mortal. Immortal and mortal are very difficult to unite, let alone get married. In fact, one of them has to relent because it is impossible to live in two realms. She is stubborn as hell. I do not want to get involved with her problem then.”

The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, had arrived somewhere. She looked seriously at the residential area, which was located about a hundred to two hundred meters from where she was standing. Atvertha looked at the existing houses, but a doubt arose in her heart, so she did not dare to go there, even though the longing for the man of her heart’s dream was unbearable.

“This outfit has brought me here. Is it possible that the man was in one of the houses there? So many mortals around here. Should I walk there just to find out about him? How if he-”
