Chapter 129. Face Your Fear
In a room in the Underworld,
A young girl was seen sitting on the edge of the bed. She was alone, and the atmosphere there was quiet, which made the immortal goddess remember the events of her time on Earth. Atvertha felt a feeling of emptiness and felt confused about what she had done.
“What happened to me? Why am I even nervous?” Atvertha muttered, confused.
The virgin goddess was silent, then turned towards the bed. There, Atvertha found a book with a silver cover. Armen Fautus Lugthna’s lover seemed familiar with this object, so without hesitation, she took the book as soon as possible. “This book seems familiar. Wait….”
The magickal book opened by itself and displayed a sentence that confused the violet-eyed girl: Greetings from me, Goddess Atvertha! Why do you seem to forget me? How about your victory at Tatkhion?
Without further ado, Atvertha realized that the book was not an ordinary object, so she spontaneously said, “I am happy to have won. How did you know about that?”
A new sentence appeared beneath the first as if an invisible hand had written there. This sight suddenly made the slender woman curious. When she felt that no other words appeared, Atvertha immediately read it, “Did you forget that this is the Book of Destiny? I am not an ordinary book, so without you telling me, I was already known. So, you have not answered what I asked earlier, and this time, I will just make it clear: are you happy that you won at Tatkhion? Do you actually feel the opposite, Goddess Atvertha?”
“I suspect that you are Nyx disguised as a book. The way you ask questions is very annoying. Just admit that my friend made you watch over me.” Atvertha was annoyed with the magickal book, but this was in vain because there were no new sentences written on the page, which indicated that the girl had to answer the question about the object.
After being silent for a few seconds, Atvertha saw that there was nothing different about the writing on the object, so the girl was forced to answer, “I am very happy to have won. Finally, there is nothing to disturb my relationship with my mortal guy.”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Word for word again appeared right under the second sentence. Atvertha could only wait patiently, but the two sentences that originally seemed actually made the immortal goddess think: I almost forgot about this thing after the tiring battle on Earth. Does the Book of Destiny know something? Yes, this book definitely knows something because since it was first discovered, it has continued to provide unexpected information.
A third sentence appeared, and this time, it looked longer than the previous sentences: Are you sure that you are happy with your achievement, Goddess Atvertha? Why do you feel empty and instead deliberately deny it? Is the sacrifice equivalent to losing a parent? Goddess Avtexia is a goddess who gets angry easily, but she never hurts you unless you do something very hurtful to her, and neither does your dad. They always give the best for you, but you reply painfully. Did you ever think about that?
“If Mom and Dad had never forced me to marry Toghnath, then the useless war would never have happened. Why should I feel guilty? What they think is best may not necessarily be the best outcome for me. I do not want to sacrifice eternity by living with a playboy, stupid god like him.” Atvertha became disgusted when he remembered the face of the God of War, so she was relieved that she had taken the right action, which succeeded in preventing her from regretting it for a very long time.
The same thing happened again in that magickal book. A woman who was forced to temporarily live in the Underworld because there was no permanent residence could only wait for what the book had to say. When the new sentence had been written, the wallflower girl read it: Did an immortal god or goddess not tell you that you can’t marry a mortal guy without your parent’s permission? Moreover, your parents deliberately locked half of your power so that your magick abilities cannot be used to their full potential. If you are smart, find a way to make them forgive you, Goddess Atvertha. Trust me, your relationship with Armen will fail.
“What kind of nonsense are you telling me, huh? It is impossible if my relationship with Armen fails just because I do not have Mom and Dad’s blessing!” Atvertha shook her head and did not want to believe all the writing that magically appeared in the Book of Destiny.
In less than a minute, new words appeared again. The Upper World goddess reluctantly placed the book on the bed, then turned the other way. For some reason, the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman remembered the disappointed face of her biological father when she was about to fight against the Goddess Avtexia. Feelings of guilt began to arise within Atvertha so that tears dripped down her cheeks without realizing it. “Mom… Dad… are you all okay?” she muttered quietly.
The Crossroads Lady cried in silence. Why am I even sad about this situation? Yeah, Mom was annoying and often annoying, but she was still my parent. Dad… he was always patient and never got angry. Still, when he was about to start fighting, I saw his disappointed face, and it made me sad, Atvertha thought, and all the beautiful memories of being with the Goddess Avtexia and Lord Helion came back to mind.
When she was satisfied with crying, Atvertha wiped the tears that fell down her cheeks with both hands. “Luckily, there are no other immortal gods or goddesses here, so I can be free without having to ask any questions.”
In the midst of the silence that fell, the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, turned back to the bed, specifically to the Book of Destiny. Atvertha saw that there were new sentences there, which made the girl’s curiosity increase, so she took the object and began to pay attention word for word on the same page.
Goddess Atvertha, you may hate your mom and dad, but they are still parents. They still lock your power, so you can’t do anything freely. The only hope for freedom is Lord Helion. The Ruler of the Seas still loves you, even though you have disappointed him greatly.
Why do you not just try to contact your father, Goddess Atvertha? I am sure if you want to lower your ego and meet him, then Lord Helion will definitely want to help so that you can use your magick to the maximum and marry that mortal guy. If the Sun Goddess has banished you, then do not let go of the Lord of the Seas. You must think realistically to get the desired results. Use your brain to make any decision.
A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, was silent and then reread all the sentences in the magickal book. Should I follow the advice of the Book of Destiny? However, he always gave useful advice, one of which was asking Havento for help. How can I meet my dad? He could be very angry and then drag me back to the palace; Atvertha thought about the worst possibilities that could happen when carrying out such an idea.
“Tell me, what can I do to summon my dad without Mom knowing?” Atvertha asked about the book she got from the Heavenly Library, and as usual, new words appeared on the paper. The Queen of Witches waited, and a quite long sentence appeared there.
It is easy. You just call Lord Helion’s name. Your father is in his palace on the sea. He has been thinking about you and is very sad about the decision you made, Goddess Atvertha. Why not try calling Lord Helion’s name now and apologize? You will never know what the results will be if you have never tried.
The information Atvertha got shocked the girl. The virgin never thought that her father would do something like that, and she seemed reluctant to just believe the answer given by the Book of Destiny. “Are you sure my dad has been thinking about me? Do not lie to me!”
New words appeared again so that Atvertha, who witnessed this, became impatient. When word by word, it had become a complete sentence, the woman who was always young began to read it, “Try it by yourself. Face your fear.”
As soon as possible, Atvertha shook her head and remained silent again. Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife again felt longing for her parents, especially Lord Helion. She took a deep breath as if she was holding a heavy burden in her mind.
“I really can’t go home anymore because of differences of opinion that are difficult to find a way out of, especially since I fought Mom and Dad directly. But Dad was always the best parent for me. Should I try to summon him here? How about is he really angry with me? Can I handle the rejection from him?”
The young lady was trying to gather courage because there was still fear, as well as hesitation in carrying out the suggestion to summon Lord Helion, which made the Moon Goddess reluctant to do it. Atvertha had not been able to call her father because she was indecisive and was most likely rejected by her father, who controlled her. She glanced again at the book, but there were no additional sentences on the same paper, which meant that the virgin had no other choice, aka she had to carry out the actions suggested by the book.
“That book was right, but if I try it and Dad curses at me, then all hope is gone… or can I ask Nyx first? But I am embarrassed because I have troubled my friend and Havento many times. Sigh… what a very difficult choice.” Atvertha continued to mumble as she was nervous about starting Lord Helion’s summoning.
That violet-eyed woman crossed her arms and then placed her palms on her chest. The smart girl was silent for two seconds, then closed her eyes. “I have to try, even though I will be rejected. Hopefully, the advice given by the Book of Destiny is true. I need my dad.”
