The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a palace in the sky,

In a room in Lord Helion’s residence, there was a husband and wife who seemed busy with their own affairs. A slender woman was seen concentrating on a large orange object that had been shining on the Earth. When she was about to move the object, suddenly, that immortal goddess fell silent; even both her hands felt stiff, making it difficult to move.

The burly man looked forward, specifically at his wife. The palace owner saw that Goddess Avtexia’s face looked in pain, and it was even difficult for her to move positions as if something was blocking her. Without waiting any longer, Lord Helion headed there as soon as possible to help his beloved lady. When he arrived at the destination area, Atvertha’s biological father tried to help the Sun Goddess, and the woman managed to move. Still, the situation differed from the object she had been trying to move.

“Why does your face look so strange, darling? What happened?” A man wearing a crown on his head asked the silver-haired woman, who looked anxious. The Sun Goddess immediately shook her head despite feeling the opposite.

“I do not know, Hubby. I was trying to move the sun’s position, but it was challenging for unknown reasons. It was weird.” Goddess Avtexia answered honestly. The woman who gave her beauty to her only daughter looked back at the sun. That object was still in its original position, and it had not moved at all.

“This is a serious problem. I have not experienced something like this for hundreds of years. The sun does not move from its position, meaning the days are longer than usual, and this will affect the Earth. I have no idea what was going on.” The blue-eyed woman felt uneasy because a lousy feeling had emerged, but she did not know what had caused this to happen. Lord Helion did not dare to comment yet. However, the head of the family remembered Atvertha, who was somewhere.

Does this incident have anything to do with Atvertha? Oh, no way. Is my daughter okay? How is my princess now? How is her relationship with Armen? I have not heard from him for a long time, and I hope she stays healthy and lives in a safe place; Lord Helion hoped inside. Meanwhile, Goddess Avtexia ignored her husband and chose to return to her original position.

The four hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman seemed impatient and wanted to check again why the sun refused to move, even though such an incident had never happened before. “What happened with my sun? Was there an immortal god or goddess interfering?”

Goddess Avtexia touched the sun again, but the results were still not as good as she wanted. The man carrying a trident in his right hand approached his forever spouse again. The Upper World Goddess’s expression looked annoyed, but she seemed reluctant to give up and continued trying to move the sun, which was still in the same position. “What can I do to you, dear? Can I help with anything?” asked Lord Helion gently. He tried to offer help to his wife.

“Nothing, Hubby. I will try it myself. If I do not find a way out, I will try to ask your help,” answered Goddess Avtexia, who had not yet diverted her attention from the same object. The beautiful woman politely refused so that Lord Helion would not be offended.

“Okay, if you say so.” A man who controlled the oceans on Earth did not want to argue with the Goddess Avtexia. He continued to monitor his wife, even though he had doubts in his heart that the opposite sex could solve this problem alone. The Sun Goddess repeated the same actions but always failed. This incident happened not only three times but more than that.

“I still do not understand. Why won’t my sun move as desired? Let me check.” Goddess Avtexia said to herself, then began to close her eyes. Meanwhile, standing to her left, her husband had not helped because he remembered the immortal goddess’s message.

“No immortal god or goddess is trying to sabotage my sun. Who could do something like this? There is no way a mortal could do it.” Lord Helion again heard the voice of Goddess Avtexia speaking to herself. The man with dark brown eyes could not resist wanting to help, but his wife’s message made him give up his intention.

I can’t possibly interfere before Avtexia allows it. If we are still reckless, then we could fight, which would be ridiculous. Now, we only live together because Atvertha no longer lives in the palace, so our marriage must be more harmonious, one of which is preventing quarrels, thought Lord Helion, who was well aware of his wife’s irritable nature.

The woman who hated darkness opened both eyes spontaneously, which surprised Lord Helion. Before the four hundred-and-forty-year-old man had time to ask, suddenly, their palace, which was initially bright, was filled with darkness. A husband and wife were amazed because such an event had never happened before there. “What happened? It is definitely someone trying to kill us.” Avtexia speculated, although her prejudice was not necessarily actual.

Screams could be heard in the palace from various directions. “Those must be the servants and ladies in the back. They must be confused and afraid.” Lord Helion spoke to his wife.

Goddess Avtexia did hear the panicked screams. A woman who had a small tattoo of a sun on her upper right arm could not hold herself back any longer, so she was forced to ask for help from her beloved husband, who had been waiting for this to be done. “Please create light that can illuminate our palace, Hubby. I will try to research why this strange thing can happen.”

“As you wish, my darling.” The burly man pointed his trident upwards so that a bright light emerged. The light spread to all corners so that the palace was bright again. The woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, saw this situation and became relieved.

Just as Goddess Avtexia was about to close her eyes, a strong wind suddenly blew in the room, confusing the husband and wife. Lord Helion lowered his trident, and he was surprised that such an incident had occurred. When the Lord of the Seas was about to aim his weapon at the target, they heard a strange voice, “We will never submit to your orders again, Avtexia.”

“What?” Goddess Avtexia asked a little loudly because she could not hear the sound clearly. Lord Helion looked around, but he did not see anyone there.

“We are united with Atvertha, and it will always be that way.” The voice sounded again; this time, it was heard clearly by Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia. The Sun Goddess glared as if the news she heard was a nightmare come true.

“Who allowed you guys to come out?! Moon Power! You are mine! Obey my orders!” A woman who had been ruling the sun and moon for a long time did not want to give up, but she felt no strength. Goddess Avtexia became very panicked and repeated the same action but did not get the desired results. Lord Helion tried to aim the trident, but the man was confused because the target had not been found; they only heard a sound.

“Atvertha has officially become the Moon Goddess, the Crossroads Lady, the Necromancy Queen, the Queen of Witches and Witchcraft, and all the titles and magickal power that she deserves to be held have been given in full. Starting today, you only care about the sun and cannot access the dark side.”

Goddess Avtexia’s eyes suddenly turned red. The pretty woman who always lived in the sky was furious because she could no longer connect to the dark power. Lord Helion felt sad about what happened to his wife, but on the other hand, the man felt happy because his daughter was free to use her power, even though not completely. “I never opened the seal on Atvertha’s body! You must obey my orders!”

“Avtexia has lost!” The voice sounded so loud that the owner of the name became even more angry and thought that the guards outside must have heard it. Lord Helion brandished his trident in all directions, but it was all in vain. These strange sounds were no longer heard but significantly impacted the Sun Goddess.

“Nooo! Who dared to open the seal on Atvertha’s body?!” The woman, who was respected by the gods and goddesses, shouted at the top of her voice as if she wanted to vent her anger. All the glass in the palace shattered, and Lord Helion spontaneously hugged his wife’s body, which created a roll of water that functioned to dispel the glass shards onto their bodies.

Somewhere on Earth, precisely in the Tatkhion area

A man in a white robe appeared to come out of a temple. A bad feeling emerged in his heart because the sunlight seemed to be decreasing a lot, and it even seemed like the area was already night. The man looked up at the sky and was very surprised, seeing that the sun had been covered by something that had never been there before.

“In the name of Lord Athalamaya. What has happened in the sky? During my time as a High Priest, strange things very rarely happened, except for the incident of Armen and the Moon Goddess, which resulted in a great war here, including a curse for all members of the tribe,” he muttered, exasperated.

The sun had closed entirely, and this situation had not yet ended. The silver-bearded man was getting more and more restless. He did not know what to do. “Hopefully, this is not a bad sign. I have to go to the worship room. I have to ask Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea.”
