The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

The next day,

In a forest on Earth, a burly man was seen leaning against a tree. The gentle breeze felt so relaxed on his body that the young man had time to close his eyes for a long time. Not long after, the memory of meeting his lovely lady came back, so that mortal involuntarily smiled and opened his eyes. There was no one there, only firewood that had been tied tightly with ropes and neatly arranged.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I thought my girl wanted our relationship over, but she did not like it. If it is like this, I have to prepare mentally so that later dare to meet her parents. I know they hate mortals, but there is no harm in trying. We could not have been in secret for the rest of our lives. I need a wife and a life partner, and I want Atvertha to be mine forever, thought Armen as he stared at the firewood about twenty meters from where he was.

In the midst of the silence, the man began to hear a very familiar voice calling his name, “Armen.”

As soon as possible, the name’s owner turned around and saw a beautiful girl standing behind him. A smile spread across Armen’s lips. “My love! Since when were you there?”

“I just arrived. Am I bothering you?” The virgin goddess walked closer to her target, while the thirty-five-year-old man immediately stood up and took part in the same action as his beloved girl. It did not take long for a pair of lovers from different worlds to finally stand facing each other, whereas Atvertha looked even smaller because of the contrast in height between them.

“You are not bothering me at all, Honey. Was everything safe before you went here?” The brown-skinned man asked as he dared to hold his lover’s silver hair, then tucked it behind Atvertha’s right ear. That young lady allowed Armen to do so.

“Nothing happened. Everything is fine.” The violet-eyed girl answered, and her heart beat faster because she was getting special treatment from the opposite sex.

“I am glad everything is fine. I did not expect you to come here again, honey.” The man, whose face was very similar to his father’s, did not seem tired of looking at his lover’s expression. Meanwhile, Atvertha was confused about what she was feeling because her heart was beating faster, but that girl chose to ignore this moment and focus on her mortal man.

“Yes, Armen. I am starting to be able to manage my time, so as much as possible, we can meet, even if it is just for a moment.” The pale-skinned woman honestly answered while trying to act as normal as possible.

“I am glad to hear that. Honey, have you eaten?” The desire to hug the interlocutor appeared in his heart, but the green-eyed man remembered his forgotten intention, namely meeting his lover’s parents.

Atvertha nodded. “I already ate before coming to see you. How about you?”

“I am going to have lunch at home. Honey, I need to discuss something with you.” A man with thick eyebrows started to speak seriously, so the immortal goddess nodded as a positive response.

“Honey, do you remember that a day before I told you who I was to meet your parents?” Armen started to open up on the topic he wanted, and Atvertha still clearly remembered this.

“Yeah, I still remember. What happened? Did they come here and hurt you?” A woman with thin eyebrows began to suspect that her mortal guy was being visited by his parents. However, because there was no evidence, Atvertha immediately asked in order to get a definite answer.

“No, Honey. They have not come here yet, let alone threatened me. I am okay and safe. I want to plan a meeting with your parents and when is the right time to do it. I need your advice.” Armen had made up his mind and was ready to face all possibilities if he still wanted to continue their relationship.

“What do you want to know about them?” The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia seemed attracted to Armen’s sincerity. She was interested in the opposite sex, especially about the information he wanted to know.

“Your mom… I know her name is Goddess Avtexia. Does she have any special characteristics or maybe a special hobby or whatever?”

I need to know some basic information about my future in-laws. I do not fucking care if they hate mortals; the important thing is I have to be able to marry their daughter! Armen thought.

“Mom? Our face and height are the same; it is just that Mom is older. She is my teacher beside Dad and is more aggressive. She has special abilities, some of which are mastering day and night, teaches all magic, and hates the dark.”

“Hm… why did she have antipathy towards mortals?”

A girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, without further ado, remembered everything her mother had said, especially when she warned her not to marry a mortal no matter what, even if Atvertha’s life was at stake. The silver-haired girl could not find the right words to answer Armen’s question, so she chose to remain silent.

That brave guy, who had been observing the behavior of his special lady, was silent for a long time, so that moment made the young man curious and confused. “Honey? What happened?”

Armen touched the girl’s left cheek so that Atvertha, who felt the hot temperature coming from the man, was stunned and then turned her attention back to the person she was talking to. “Are you okay? Your body is freezing.”

A man with thick eyebrows frowned but could not understand Atvertha’s expression, which seemed to take his words for granted. However, Armen did not dare to ask about the reasons why this happened. “I am fine. My body temperature is normal for a goddess.”

“Are you not sick? Sorry if my question is presumptuous.” A man who had an arranged marriage with Atlanta but failed tried to ask her politely because he was aware of the difference in status between them.

“I have never been sick like a normal human being.” After finishing answering, that slender woman remembered how she had been tortured by her friend when they were in Nyx’s creation, where the Night Goddess rarely saw her. Longing began to arise for the Moon Goddess, but she hid it from her special guy.

“Okay. You have not answered my question, Honey. Why did your mom hate our people so much?” Armen repeated the question so that Atvertha could not help but answer, even though she felt sorry for the interlocutor if she already knew the honest answer.

“Mom once told me that mortals could not be trusted. In her eyes, mortals were a nation that was savage, dirty, liked to kill each other, liked raping women, taking other people’s rights, greedy for wealth, and hurting animals that did not do anything wrong at all. Even magical creatures like witches, fairies, and mermaids so they go and hide so that your people do not know.” The Crossroads Lady answered Armen’s question, leaving that young man stunned.

The atmosphere became quiet and awkward. The eternally living woman did not say anything else because she was waiting for a comment from the opposite sex. The gentle breeze was felt again, and the handsome man shook his head, then heavily exhaled as if the words he had heard were a heavy burden.

After being silent for a while, that macho guy returned his attention to his beloved woman. “Did you believe all those accusations, Honey?”

A girl with thin eyebrows shook her head. “No, I did not. I believed that not all mortals were like that. I did not deny that there were certainly evil humans, but others were not necessarily the same.”

Armen was relieved after hearing Atvertha’s statement. He broadly smiled because he felt very happy; his lover did not think badly of mortals. “Thank you, Honey. May I know what is your dad’s name?”

“You are welcome. My father’s name is Helion. He is the Ruler of the Seas.”

“Would Lord Helion not have difficulty controlling such a vast ocean if he lived in the sky?”

“I do not know how Dad can do that. We have always lived in the sky, and there were no problems at all, but one thing I know, he has never complained about his work, so I assume everything was under control.”

“Do you know what is Lord Helion’s characteristics? I ask like this because I do not want to misidentify my future father-in-law if I meet him in person.” Atvertha’s cheeks suddenly turned red when she heard the last sentence from her mortal lover. However, Armen, who realized this, only smiled as if trying to understand the condition the girl was experiencing.

“My dad might be the same height as you, but I think he is taller. His body is sturdy; he wears a crown and always carries a trident. His hair color is the same as mine.”

“Does he think that all mortals are bad too?”

“I do not know. Dad has never spoken ill of mortals before, but Mom usually intervenes if he changes his mind.”

A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall, was silent, then nodded in understanding. Meanwhile, the immortal goddess was still watching the opposite sex. “In your opinion, when is the right time to meet them? According to our tradition, usually, the man comes to the woman’s parents’ house and then gets to know each other as usual. If later the woman’s parents ask about marriage, then the man will come next. Bring along the parents for introductions, then discuss the dowry, proposal date, etc. What about the customs among immortals, Honey?”

That beautiful woman was confused and thought about the opposite sex’s question.

If I could be honest, I never knew about the procedures for marriage among immortals. In fact, I have never even heard of an application. With whom can I ask about this matter? Armen’s question was really confusing, Atvertha said to herself, but she did not avoid her boyfriend’s gaze.

“Honey? What was wrong with you?” Armen was confused again when he saw Atvertha change her attitude. He dared to pat the virgin’s left shoulder so that Atvertha realized it and became awkward. However, a woman with a sharp nose thought quickly and came up with a brilliant idea.

“Armen. How about we-”
