The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later,

A young woman with long silver hair appeared out of the room. She has changed clothes. This time, Atvertha was not wearing a white dress as usual, but the clothes she was wearing a black dress, like the darkness of the night. The atmosphere in the palace seemed quiet, although there were guards standing in every corner, which seemed to ensure the safety of the palace.

I must be able to leave as soon as possible from my own room, with no one knowing, including the guards in this place. They can cause problems if, later, one of them sees my activity and then reports it to Mom or Dad. I do not want to be like that, thought the violet-eyed girl, still being wary.

“Agmentho!” [1]

Waiting no longer, the Goddess’ slender body disappeared from view so no one could see her. Now, Atvertha was flying downwards to her destination, namely the Earth.

“Hopefully, I can meet my mortal man soon,” she mumbled to herself.

The atmosphere on the Earth where the mortals lived was already dark, so this was a relief for the young lady who would soon become the Queen of Witches. Atvertha kept her eyes on the forest, to the exact place where there was a cave, where she had once laid the body of a dying male mortal. However, that man has recovered and returned to his parent’s house.

In the night’s darkness, a pair of scary white eyes began to appear and turned up. It was watching what the only daughter of God Helion and Goddess Avtexia was doing. However, Atvertha did not realize the moment because it still focused her on her current activity.

“She is such a stupid goddess. Without being asked at all, I already knew what that girl would be going to do. If it is true what I saw regarding the future events that will befall Atvertha at this time in my secret place with her, then let it be so. But I will never want to get involved with her love affair with that bloody mortal male.”

Now, the pale-faced girl has arrived at her destination. She stood not far from the mouth of the cave and then looked around. The situation seemed pitch black, but what was there did not dampen the intentions of the Moon Goddess, who was in deep love with a single, mature guy.

The pair of eyes that had been following was already on the girl’s left. However, a woman with thin eyebrows still did not notice, so she ignored the incident. The night wind began to blow, so it hit Atvertha’s skin. The sound of nocturnal animals can be heard, adding to the serenity of the area.

“This is the same location where I put the mortal man’s body. If I do not see him now, then there may not be another chance. I do not want to be married to a Playboy idiot god; who knows, he’s just having fun. He is disgusting.” Atvertha seemed to be grumbling, though she used a low tone of voice as if afraid of being heard by someone.

Atvertha began to concentrate so that the color of her eyes, which were originally violet, now turned orange. All these changes were still being watched closely by Lord Havento’s sister. She did not interfere at all and just watched what happened to her best friend.

“Tatmanth te oghtiz, o mortale!” [2]

“Come to me, oh mortal male. Come here to meet me now.”

Atvertha’s voice changed, unlike usual. A dark aura now enveloped the virgin goddess. Even her right hand was raised, then made a movement as if calling someone from far away. A pair of eyes that had been stalking the girl witnessed the incident. She even seemed to blink once, as if she could not believe what he was looking at. However, the Night Goddess chose to remain silent as if all was well.

On the other hand

It was silent in a house owned by Chief Agbazarth in Tatkhion, for everyone, including a thirty-five-year-old man, was fast asleep. It was dark in the rooms of the Lebrazht Lugthna family members, except in the center of the room, then the kitchen area, and the front of the house, because there were two torches in each, so anyone could still see the situation, although it was not very clear.

“Come to me, my man.”

The voice sounded so clear in the ears of the first son of the couple, Lebrazht Lugthna and Norah Bitnantzh that his body squirmed. The handsome young man was subconsciously disturbed and responded with body movements. However, Armen had not yet opened his eyes and still continued to sleep.

“Come here to meet me.”

The brown-haired guy’s consciousness was disturbed again. The burly man squirmed again because the same voice sounded in both ears as if someone was there, then told him directly.

“Erm…,” groaned Armen.

He still refused to open his eyes. However, the man felt someone touch his hand, to be precise, his right arm. Armen experienced a cold, icy sensation, so the boy who became the idol of many girls suddenly woke up.

“Argh! What was that?” he said, confused.

There was no one there except for him, so Armen, who was awakened as soon as possible because someone was touching his hand, became irritated. The darkness was felt in his room while the air in the room became cold, but the owner of the room had not realized it.

“Damn! What was that? I am sure that something or someone touched my skin. Turns out, it was all just a dream.” Armen grumbled softly. He rubbed his face with his left hand, and then the sleepiness hit him again, so that guy yawned widely.

When the eldest of two siblings was about to close his eyes, the same strange voice suddenly sounded again so that Armen’s calm was disturbed by it. “Follow me, my love.”

“Who are you?” asked Armen, curious.

He did not flinch, even though all he could hear was sound, and there had been no sighting of any creature in his room. The drowsiness disappeared; there was only a very high curiosity because Armen had never experienced this, but the voice disappeared even though he had been waiting for a few minutes.

“I must be hallucinating. There can’t be a voice calling for-”

Before he could have a monologue with himself, suddenly, an insect that shone brightly on the back of its body landed on the male mortal’s nose. Armen looked confused because the bug seemed to be staring back at him. “Were you the one who talked to me earlier?”

“Follow me.”

The man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall, widened his eyes when he heard the bug was able to talk back to him. However, this brave man wanted to know many things, so he asked again, “Who are you? What do you want from me?”

The insect did not answer the question of the brown-skinned man, which was caused by the many activities outside the home. The firefly that could talk instead chose to fly and then left the man who was still confused.

When he saw such a strange moment, the young man who was betrothed by a girl suddenly panicked, so he immediately got out of bed and could chase the bug. Armen ignored other things, wanting to settle his curiosity because he had never seen a firefly like that.

“Wait! Do not go!”
