The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a room in Lord Helion’s palace,

“Shit! What did Mom do? She really cheated because she did not teach this kind of spell,” said a slender girl, who was still lying stiffly on the bed.

The atmosphere in the place was very quiet because there was no other god or goddess to talk to. A young lady who did not like flirtatious men could only look around, but it limited her view because Atvertha’s body still could not move. All her biological mother’s words, especially the threat of the Sun Goddess, came back to her mind.

“What will Mom and Dad do to Armen and all his tribe members? I have to get to Earth as soon as possible so I can prevent bad things from happening to them.” Atvertha tried again to move her body, but this action was in vain.

“Damn it! If I continue like this, they will die! Who can help me?” That intelligent girl thought hard without further ado, and Atvertha suddenly remembered her close friend who lived in a different world and always scolded her if she made a mistake.

“Nyx… will she help? There is no harm in trying.” The virgin goddess tried hard to look in the mirror, even though her body still felt stiff.

“O, Nyx, tut vetnth ionth. Obgethentha tut eth githz eino!” [1] After she finished saying that sentence, the surface of the glass started to change. The thin-browed girl waited patiently because she was sure that the spell that she had just cast had an impact on the target, and it was just a matter of time before she got the desired result.

A girl with a scary aura appeared in the mirror. At first, she did not look at the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia. However, a voice was heard; to be precise, it sounded like a man’s voice, saying to the girl, “Nyx, there was someone who called you.”

A white-eyed woman frowned when she heard these words. She immediately asked the same man, “Who was dare to summon me? Is he from among the mortals or the immortals?”

“You have to turn around, and you can get the answer.” That burly man answered casually so that the woman who hated light was forced to follow the words of the opposite sex. When she turned around, the married woman was stunned for a second, then laughed a little. Meanwhile, Atvertha was confused by her best friend’s attitude but still patiently awaited her arrival.

“Ah, it turned out you were the one who called me. Why did you call me? Did you miss me?” The Night Goddess asked while grinning. That woman did not want to come to Atvertha’s place yet, even though she could see something odd about the girl’s attitude of liking a mortal man.

“I need your help, Nyx.” The Moon Goddess answered without further ado, so the two gods and goddesses who lived in the Underworld started walking towards the mirror, and they just stood at the boundary between the Upper World and their own world.

“Why do you need my help? Does this have something to do with the bloody mortal guy you like?” The woman with long black hair asked sarcastically, while the man standing next to her didn’t say anything and chose to listen to the conversation between the two goddesses who came from different worlds.

“Yeah, but it is not one hundred per cent about him.” The violet-eyed girl answered with difficulty because she couldn’t get out of bed.

“I do not want to help if this is related to your mortal.” Nyx immediately refused, shaking her head, while the black-clothed man next to the opposite sex observed Atvertha’s condition. However, he has not taken any action at all.

“Mom kept me from moving, and I had to quickly prevent her from killing my man.” Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover tried to negotiate with her friend, who was seen grinning again, even if only for a few seconds.

“Did you forget my words that I would never help when it comes to your love life with that mortal? Were you deaf at that moment?” A woman who never sugar-coated her words remained adamant about her decision, so this made Atvertha almost despair, but she was reluctant to give up.

“I am not asking you to help with my love life but to free me from the influence of my mom’s spell.” The girl’s eyes, which were originally violet, turned blue so that the two gods and goddesses who were watching from the mirror were shocked. Still, they immediately acted normal again, as if nothing strange had happened.

“What did your mom do that made it difficult for her to move?” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimetres, seemed to know what had happened to the Queen of Witches’ body, but she still stood where she was and did not want to leave the confines of the mirror.

“Mom was angry when I refused to be matched with Toghnath. I did not know what kind of spell she used, so it made my body stiff and unable to move at all.” A woman with a sharp nose explained a summary of what had happened to her, but Nyx laughed a little, which made Atvertha annoyed by it.

“You are indeed a stupid goddess. The Dumb Upper World Goddess, to be exact.” A sister of Lord Havento laughed again for a few moments, then after finishing, she started to leave the mirror, while the same man still stood there and did not want to follow Nyx.

“Do you want to help me? I just need your help to set me free. That is all I want.” The pale-faced girl wanted to ascertain the motives of her friend, who finally wanted to come to her room. Nyx walked toward the person she was talking to and wanted to avoid answering the question. A dark aura began to appear in the room, although the atmosphere was still slight, alias not yet too dominant.

In less than a minute, a woman wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like night and filled with sparkling light sprinkles, arrived near the poor girl’s bed. Atvertha observed her friend’s behaviour, which seemed strange and difficult for her to judge. “I forgot that your mom is still a Queen of Witches and the Dark Lady. You do have the same abilities, but she deliberately locked most of them so you could not fight, let alone free yourself.”

“What spell did Mom use on me?” Atvertha asked, full of curiosity.

“This was a freezing spell. It could make the target’s body unable to move, and the results were permanent. In the future, you can use this ability and become one of your mainstay spells,” answered Nyx while looking at Atvertha’s body carefully.

“Nyx, I-”

Before the silver-haired woman could finish her words, a woman who lived in the Underworld interrupted her words as soon as possible. “Now, you must swear to me that you will never ask for my help if something bad happens to you in the future caused by that damn mortal.”

“Excuse me?” The beautiful girl felt annoyed and surprised by those strange words, but Nyx acted normal.

“You know very well that I do not like seeing you having a special relationship with a mortal man. What happened to you was the result of you rejecting my suggestion to look for a single handsome god and preferring a mortal creature who easily dies.” Now, the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman looked directly at the owner of the room. It seemed like she could not stop thinking about Atvertha, but feelings of pity made Nyx help the helpless girl without further ado.

Atvertha was silent for a moment, then suddenly remembered what her father said when Goddess Avtexia was about to throw her again, so the girl asked Nyx, “Can’t immortals die too?”

“Who said that stupid thing to you?” Nyx even asked back, which made Atvertha surprised.

“My dad. He told Mom, if she hurt me again, then I could die and go straight down to the Underworld and meet Havento, your eldest brother.” Atvertha answered Nyx’s question while also clarifying her current question.

“Have your parents, especially your mother, taught you that death for immortals is not like mortals?”

“What?” A young girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres, looked confused, so the person she was talking to laughed again.

“You have become a stupid goddess. Love has blinded your eyes, so you do not even know about easy things like that.” The Night Goddess raised both hands and then began to move them over the target’s body, more precisely in the chest area. That way, Nyx wanted to heal the target without having to touch it directly.

“Nyx.” Atvertha did not know what to say other than saying the goddess’ name.

The name’s owner ignored that call. She seemed to be concentrating on Atvertha’s body, which was not free from the effects of the Sun Goddess’ spell. From Nyx’s palm, a red light-like blood came out, then entered the girl’s entire body. A pale-faced woman began to feel something, but it was not a comfortable feeling, but an unbearable pain.

“Argh!” Atvertha screamed, but that did not stop Nyx.

Nyx continued to channel her healing power, which felt very painful for the young lady. Meanwhile, a man was still standing at the boundary of the mirror, precisely at the boundary between the Underworld and the Upper World, still watching what the woman with the terrifying aura was doing.

“The servants or guards in the palace can hear his voice, Sister.” The man finally said to Nyx.

“No. They will not hear it.” That woman answered and continued to make Atvertha scream at the top of her lungs, as if what Nyx had done really made her suffer.

A few moments later, after heartbreaking screams that seemed to have no end, the woman who did not live in the Upper World was seen raising both hands, while the silver-haired girl did not move at all. Such an event felt so different that the room fell silent again as if no one was there. That white-eyed woman quickly turned around and then walked towards the mirror.

When she arrived in front of the mirror, a burly man who was still standing in his original place immediately asked the opposite sex. “Is the Upper World Goddess dead?”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Nyx shook her head, then answered her biological brother, “She is not dead.”

“Are you seriously never going to help her again?”

“Yes. I am serious, but only regarding her mortal man. Let Atvertha bear all the consequences that have been made; that way, she will feel the truth of my words.”

“You are really cruel, Sister.”

“Thank you, Brother. Cruelty is my basic nature, including our family.”

A woman who had a pair of wings made of very dark darkness entered the mirror, and in less than a minute, the image of the world where Nyx lived disappeared, and the glass returned to normal. Meanwhile, the virgin goddess did not move on the bed with her eyes closed.
