The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a palace that belonged to the Lord Helion,

In a room, a silver-haired young girl was looking in the mirror. Her body was exactly in that room, but her soul seemed to be wandering to another place. The pale expression reflected in the glass was expressionless. Without that young lady knowing it, a strange female figure slowly appeared behind the object, now watching The Moon Goddess closely.

“Atvertha, you are a Goddess. Why are you acting like a mortal female who is in love now?”

The sound was able to interrupt The Crossroads Lady’s reverie so that she, as soon as possible, looked in the mirror. The long-haired woman was very surprised when she saw a familiar woman in the mirror. Lord Havento’s third sister watched with a stony expression, which made Atvertha became slightly uneasy.

“Why are you even staring blankly here? Did you really try to be a witch who wants to make an astral projection, even though you are their Queen? Wow! How impressive.” The guest deliberately suppressed every word, especially the last four words. An intimidating aura emanated from her body, which made the virgin goddess uncomfortable.

Atvertha felt that there was something odd about the guest’s behaviour, as if the white-eyed goddess was hiding something. Meanwhile, Nyx was still waiting for a response from the interlocutor. The atmosphere in the room of Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover became awkward because a woman who appeared in the mirror indirectly pressured her.

“I did not do an astral projection, as you accuse me of.”

That young lady only wanted to answer the second question and chose to ignore the first question. When hearing this, The Night Goddess grinned so that the atmosphere in Atvertha’s room became scary, making that girl wave her hand in the air as soon as possible to neutralize the situation.

“Why are you turning into a goddamn bitch now? What was wrong with you?” Atvertha tried to divert the conversation because she did not want to linger on the same topic again. Nyx remained the same, which made the girl with the thin eyebrows even more uncomfortable.

“I know that you are deliberately asking something else, so that I will stop discussing the first question. Am I right?”

Atvertha’s cheeks blushed automatically. This moment made the third daughter of the couple, God Hetzh and Goddess Aymenth, unable to stop herself from laughing, although it was not too loud. The goddess who had a lover from a different world was annoyed. However, she just let her friend do that annoying act.

“You are getting weird now, Atvertha. Did you think that I never noticed it?”

The girl, who was living in the Underworld, spontaneously smiled sinisterly. She seemed to belittle her friend, even though the interlocutor found this behaviour odd. Goddess Atvertha’s eyes slowly began to change slightly, especially in colour. Goddess Atvertha noticed the girl’s emotions were agitated, signalled by her sinister smile. The right eye was already orange, and the left was still violet. The other goddess has realized the situation. However, the black-haired woman continued to act normal, as if it did not affect her at all.

“What are you talking about? I do not get it.”

An aura of intimidation came out of the body of the goddess, who hated sunlight again. On the other hand, Atvertha felt that her best friend had something to say, even though the girl already had a bad feeling about it. “Well, how is your relationship with that bloody male mortal?”

Now, Atvertha’s eyes became completely orange. The only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, felt offended because her close friend had mocked her lover with the rude nickname. Nyx kept watch over the other goddess. A woman who was feared by the gods, especially those living in the upper world, did not show any trepidation but instead smiled sinisterly.

“Why did you not answer my previous question? Are you offended by my current question? If that was true, then what I just said was not a lie because you were not comfortable enough to answer it.”

“Why are you even insulting that male mortal? What was your problem with him?”

The intonation used by the girl, who was the height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres tall, sounded different. Atvertha seemed ready to kill, even though the interlocutor had not physically attacked her. When she saw this reaction, Nyx even looked happy. She grinned as if what had happened to the virgin goddess was an act she wished for.

“This is great, Atvertha. Pseudo love has even blinded you, so you want to attack me, even though it is not necessary to do. Am I right? Before this moment happened, I already told you if we, as the immortal goddess, did not need love like mortals. Look at you, you have become someone else and you are already crazy in love with that bloody mortal. How pathetic.”

That Night Goddess kept staring at her close friend, who had not commented yet. The atmosphere in the room became spooky. However, the owner of the room seemed not to hear. When she raised her hand to attack the mirror, she suddenly heard a shrill laugh, which made Atvertha cover her ears spontaneously.

Nyx continued to do this activity so that her best friend’s body moved away from the mirror area, about ten meters and all of that happened by itself. Atvertha did not fall at all, as if a powerful force supported her body so that the virgin remained upright.

When seeing that the girl had had enough of her, the girl living in the Underworld stopped screaming. She smiled sinisterly at Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover, who had removed her hands from both ears. “Do you want to hurt me? Keep dreaming, Atvertha. I have already become a goddess with full duties and responsibilities, so do not play games with me.”

The Queen of Witches said nothing. However, that girl’s eye colour slowly changed back to violet. Such a moment became known to a sister of Lord Havento. Nyx looked happy but has not commented further. Silence fell in the room, and Atvertha was still standing some distance from the mirror. The young lady’s common sense slowly returned, allowing her to think clearly.

Why have I been acting so strange towards Nyx? What has happened to me? It was totally weird. Luckily, she did not do anything stupid, like counterattack. Geez. This is really confusing. I felt like I was out of control when I heard her badmouthing mortals, especially my man, thought Atvertha, who still could not believe what she had done.

Without many words, Atvertha turned back to the mirror. There, her best friend still remained in the same area. A goddess who had a pair of wings made of the darkness of the night had been observing the behaviour of the silver-haired virgin’s daughter. They stared at each other, but somehow, embarrassment crept up inside the girl. Nyx remained silent, waiting for the room’s owner to say something to her.

“Nyx… I…”

Atvertha stuttered a little, so she did not dare to continue her words. However, a girl who was the same age as her did not laugh at all. Nyx looked so serious and had not commented yet. This made the young lady embarrassed and, at the same time, nervous because her opinion could not be conveyed. In the midst of the awkwardness that was created in the room, the guest said to her, “Go on. If you want to say something, do not stop.”

“I… I… am sorry.”

The pale-faced woman was finally able to say what had been stuck in her heart, even though Atvertha stammered a little when she said that. Nyx was not as soon as possible to say something to her, which made the interlocutor feel more anxious. The third daughter of the couple, God Hetzh and Goddess Aymenth, seemed to be assessing the seriousness of her close friend.

“Are you sober now? If not, then I will not say anything else.”

The virgin goddess nodded, causing the other person to start smiling. To be more precise, it was a small smirk that only lasted for a few seconds, and then her facial expression returned to normal. Atvertha felt a little relieved because she could still maintain her friendship with the Underworld Goddess.

“Good. Welcome back, my friend. I am glad to meet the normal you.”

Atvertha found it funny with the last sentence said by the other person. Meanwhile, that black-haired woman started to smile, but this time she looked sincere. She was pleased with the change in attitude shown by the Moon Goddess. The two girls, who were best friends, smiled at each other.

“How dare you to say that! But thank you, Nyx.”

Nyx chuckled. She did not look offended at all while Atvertha waited for a comment from the interlocutor.

“You know me since the beginning, if I have never sugared-coated my words. I do not care whether you like it or not; I will still tell you the truth. I hope you do not forget that. Let me give you a fun fact. From now on, we will probably fight a lot because of different choices, especially your choice for a mate.”

Atvertha was stunned when she heard the information. However, Nyx experienced different things. The white-eyed woman still behaved normally. The atmosphere there turned awkward. That virgin still did not understand the meaning contained in that sentence.

“What do you mean? I do not get it. What kind of fight are you referring to?”

Nyx had not answered that question yet. She looked at Atvertha with a look that was difficult to decipher while the Moon Goddess was still waiting for a reaction from the interlocutor. “Girl, you will know soon enough. Just remember, I will support you, except for the bloody mortal. He is the big no for me and I will not change my mind. Other than that, I will try to help you as much as I can.”

“Nyx-”

Before Atvertha had time to finish her words, suddenly, the guest disappeared from the mirror. This moment made that virgin lady became confused. The owner of the room could not believe what she had just seen.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

“What was wrong with Nyx? Why did she even talk like that and did not want to give a definite answer? That moment was really confusing.”
