The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Somewhere on Earth,

“Then when will you come back, darling? By the way, Dad asked about you this afternoon.” The green-eyed man remembered the head of the Lugthna family and, as soon as possible, conveyed this to the opposite sex. The slender woman frowned because she did not expect to receive such news.

“What did your dad ask about me, Armen?” Atvertha asked, curious. The virgin goddess felt that there was nothing urgent, which made Lebrazht want to know news about her.

Armen shrugged his shoulders. “I did not know, Honey. Could it be that Dad wants to ask about when his appointment as a Lycan King will be? Haven’t you said that yourself in front of our tribe?” replied the charismatic young man while remembering the incident.

That immortal goddess fell silent. She thought again about the announcement made in front of the Agbazarth Tribe after the war with his parents, and Toghnath was over. She thought about what would be best while Armen silently awaited his lovely lady’s decision.

“I will tell you about it later because I have to meet Dad and get forgiveness and blessing. When everything is finished, then I have to create my own realm and our wedding day. The wedding day could be before or after making Lebrazht a Lycan King. We will see.”

“Alright. If Dad asks the same thing later, I will tell him that we have to wait for your confirmation.” The intelligent guy provided a solution that he felt was right, and Atvertha agreed. A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, was silent, then looked up at the sky. All the memories of living in his father’s palace came to mind.

I miss Mom and Dad, but I am not with them anymore. If I stay there, I will definitely be forced to marry the Fool Toghnath. No. I do not want to get into that terrible situation. Not anymore, thought Atvertha, who was forced to endure longing. Meanwhile, Armen also carried out the same action, but nothing was strange except for the stars and the moon covered by dark clouds.

Armen glanced at Atvertha, who was still looking at the same object. “Are you okay, Honey? Did you remember anything?”

The girl woke up from her thoughts and then turned her attention to the person she was talking to. Armen was watching his beloved immortal’s behaviour without blinking at all. “I am okay. I was just thinking about how to contact Dad because he said to be careful and did not let Mom know.”

“I am sorry that I can’t help you, for that matter, Honey. I will pray to Lord Athalamaya so that your meeting with my future father-in-law can go well without any obstacles.” The brown-haired man looked regretful because he could not do anything about the problem Atvertha mentioned.

“It is okay, Armen. Your prayer is more than enough for me.” The white-eyed girl was moved by the sincerity of her lover’s attitude, so she did not want to trouble the young man more than necessary. The burly man forced himself to smile, even though inside, he felt sad.

“I wish I could do more than that. If later you need my help, for any help, do not forget to tell me. I will be happy to help you.” The handsome man expressed the offer voluntarily. Atvertha smiled broadly because she was happy with these words and that the opposite sex said them without any coercion from anyone.

“I will do it. I have to go now, Armen. I have disturbed your rest long enough. You should get some sleep.” A woman who had three bodies, a head, a face, and three pairs of hands but all stuck together did not want to stay there any longer. Atvertha thought about the condition of her beloved mortal guy, who had been deprived of sleep because he had met her.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

That muscular man was about to refuse, but instead, he let out a big yawn, which made his immortal lady’s words come true. The black-haired woman waited for Armen to finish doing his activities. After finishing yawning, Armen looked at Atvertha. He still wanted to be with the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, but it was impossible for that to happen. “To be honest, I do not want to part with you, but you were right. I should get some sleep, and I will do it after I arrive in my room.”

“Good night, Armen. Thank you for coming here and not being afraid of my current appearance.” That young lady was grateful because what she was afraid of did not happen at all. Armen smiled. He held his lover’s palms with great feeling.

“Before my grandpa died, he once said to me, ‘Armen, if you look for a woman because of her beauty, then know, it will all be in vain. Stay faithful to your partner. People will grow old, sick, and die. When you are married, then love your wife. She will accompany you in joy and sorrow, in health and sickness, even until one of you dies.’ This advice made an impression on my memory, and he was right, too.”

Armen’s attitude and words again moved Atvertha. A young girl who did not like flirtatious men tried to stay strong because she would soon return to the Underworld. “Your grandpa must be proud of you because you followed his good advice.”

The man who had a sense of humor but could still be severe actually laughed a little. Atvertha did not understand and kept waiting for the reaction from the opposite sex. “No, he would not be proud. My grandpa is tougher than Dad. It is just that when he was alive, he was softer to me. I was lucky at that moment.”

“Armen. I have to go now. I will come back after getting an answer from Dad. Take care of yourself. I always love you.” Atvertha spoke softly, which made it even more difficult for the man to separate from her. Atmatkha’s first grandson could only nod because he did not know what to say to the person he was talking to.

Atvertha reluctantly let go of her mortal lover’s hand, and then she just disappeared, as if that immortal goddess was never there. Meanwhile, Armen continued to look in the same direction, and the young man had to bury his sadness due to the separation from his future wife. “See you soon, Honey,” he said softly.

A while later, in the Underworld

The Moon Goddess had just entered a place close to the room she used to rest. She stepped silently, and there was happiness in the girl’s heart because meeting Armen had made everything clear, including their relationship.

I still can’t believe that my man would act like that. From the first time I met him, I was sure that he was different, and it turned out that my prediction was correct. It turns out that the two new bodies on the left and right are not so bad. They could not move, and only this middle part was functioning, even though the appearance looked strange and scary, thought Atvertha as he continued walking.

“Where have you been, Atvertha?” The baritone voice was heard, so it stopped the name’s owner in his tracks. Twenty meters away, a man dressed all in black was seen. He was not alone because five big dogs were guarding the door. The virgin knew who the immortal god was who asked her.

“Ah, Havento. What a pleasant surprise. I thought you must be busy.” The Queen of Witches greeted the opposite sex, and the man shook his head, which confused the woman with a sharp nose.

“I was looking for you about three hours ago. When you arrived here, your five pet companions said you would leave the room and return in a few hours because you had to meet someone.” The three hundred and ten-year-old man explained what he had done so that the opposite sex understood what had happened there.

“You were right. I did go to Earth to meet my mortal man.” The Crossroads Lady’s words made the man’s heartache. However, Havento still displayed an even expression, as if nothing was disturbing his inner mood.

“Why did you meet your mortal man? Is he sick?” asked Havento, who wanted to know more about what Atvertha and Armen had done on Earth. The slender woman shook her head because her future husband was not as sick as Nyx’s older brother had thought.

“No, he was not sick. I did that on purpose because I wanted to know what he thought about my new look. I heard so much bad news about mortals, so I was trying to see that by myself,” answered Atvertha, honestly. The Queen of Witches was relieved because Nyx’s prejudice had not been proven, so her wedding plans with Armen would continue as usual.

“Okay. So, what was the outcome of your meeting with that mortal guy? Was he scared and left you or vice versa?” Havento did not know why he was afraid of the answer from the immortal goddess. Still, curiosity overcame everything, so Havento took the most significant risk in life, namely heartbreak.

“No, he did not do it. Surprisingly, my man actually accepted my condition like this. Armen even wanted to meet my father because he wanted to get to know each other personally. I was very relieved because this meant we could get married, but we still had to go through quite a complicated process, and you knew what that was.” Atvertha could not hide her happiness, even though the person she was talking to felt the opposite.

The guy who controlled the Underworld was silent for a long time because he was trying hard not to scream, while the woman with thin eyebrows did not feel anything strange because she was busy thinking about her future husband. The five black dogs in front of the door were indeed listening to the conversation between the two immortals, but none of them understood the meaning. Datzha and his four subordinates could only listen to the conversation between Lord Havento and Goddess Atvertha without daring to ask or interrupt because they were aware of the position they had.

After several minutes of silence, the rarely smiling man said to his little sister’s good friend, “Atvertha, next time, if you want to leave the Underworld, do not forget to inform me. You are my responsibility, and I have to protect you. I hope you understand.”

The girl feels guilty about Havento because she did not ask the boy’s permission when she wanted to go to Earth. “I understand. I apologize and will not repeat the same thing.”

The burly man nodded once. “Great. Have a good rest, Atvertha.”

“Have a good rest, you too, Havento.” Atvertha continued walking, and then she arrived at the door. The five dogs, her pet companions, welcomed their master’s arrival, and the virgin gave them each a bowl of food and milk.

Havento observed what the opposite sex had done to his pet companion with a sad look. “It is not great news for me. I love you too much, but I am afraid to say it,” said the young man very quietly.
