The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a room in Lord Helion’s palace,

A pale-faced girl looked silent. She looked around again but did not find another god or goddess there. The atmosphere in that place was very quiet, and only a few fellow immortals had appeared, which disappointed the young goddess.

“There are no immortal gods or goddesses who want to come to help. Am I really this pathetic?” said Atvertha, who felt sadness and deep sorrow. The maiden exhaled heavily, then began to examine a roll of parchment that she had been holding.

“Was there something wrong when reciting the spell? I have fulfilled all the conditions except for the agreement because there is no immortal god or goddess who wants to help. Did they deliberately not want to hear the spell I said, or was there something else? It is really strange,” said Atvertha quietly. She stared at a roll of parchment containing information and procedures for using the Ask Your Fellow Immortal Spell.

That pale-skinned woman began to roll up the parchment, feeling sad, annoyed, and disappointed. The desire to be with her mortal guy immediately disappeared because there was no help from an immortal god or goddess, even though she had tried to seek help from them.

Atvertha also remembered her mother’s threat to marry Toghnath. Still, as soon as possible, feelings of disgust emerged in her mind, so the that girl tried to find another alternative so that her parents’ plan failed miserably.

“I must forget that damn spell. It did not work for me. I may not be able to get out of here, but I still can’t give up and have to find another way so that I can escape from this damn prison.”

When the girl was about to leave her place, suddenly, a voice was heard that stunned the room’s owner. “Did you call us?”

Within two meters, two male figures appeared; one of them was very familiar to the girl. The heights of the two guests who suddenly appeared were not much different, but their appearances were very contrasting because one was full of darkness, and the other was radiant. “Atvertha, did you call us?” asked the man, who was wearing all black.

A man with a scary aura looked at the opposite sex with great tenderness, and this moment was noticed by his best friend, who was standing next to him because he turned to Havento. However, that young man chose to pretend to ignore this. Meanwhile, Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover, who had been silent for a long time, spontaneously nodded when she heard her name mentioned by the person she was talking to.

“Yes, I did. I thought you did not come, Havento. Thank you for coming, and who is he?” replied the virgin goddess, turning to the blonde man.

“So, you are Goddess Avtexia’s daughter? You are so beautiful, Goddess Atvertha.” Lord Hertinoz praised the beauty of the young lady who had called them to that place. The God of the Underworld suddenly turned towards his friend, then stared at the green-eyed man who had not yet realized this moment. That slender woman did not know what to say and just nodded in response to the praise from the opposite sex.

“Hertinoz. Focus.” Lord Havento’s baritone voice made the name’s owner, and then he looked over there. He felt reluctant because he had been caught giving praise for the beauty of the immortal goddess who had invited them there.

A curly-haired man turned to the room owner and smiled kindly yet politely at her. “Ahem. Yes, I am sorry, Goddess Atvertha. My name is Hertinoz. I am the God of Communication and Lord Havento’s friend. Nice to meet you here.”

“Nice to meet you, Lord Hertinoz. My name is Atvertha. Thank you for coming here.” That girl who could see in the dark still introduced herself, even though the person she was talking to already knew her name.

“Why did you call us here, Atvertha? What did you need?” Nyx’s oldest brother asked so that the Moon Goddess and his friend’s attention was drawn to him. A cold-faced man did not make small talk because he wanted to know what problem the young lady was facing.

Suddenly, Atvertha remembered a message from the Book of Destiny that she had to make a pact with Havento or Nyx because only they could free her from the influence of her mother’s spell. The two immortal gods were waiting for what the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, would say.

“I have a serious problem: Mom has sealed this room with a powerful spell. She did that because I refused to be married to a bastard immortal god. I have an offer. Please consider this: if you are willing to help me escape from here and marry my mortal guy, I will help you in return. But please ask me to do something related to my dark magick abilities.” A violet-eyed girl answered honestly, and for some reason, Havento’s heart ached to hear that, but he still had a flat expression.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Hertinoz almost laughed out loud when he heard the sentence ‘a bastard immortal god’ uttered by Atvertha, but he deliberately remained silent so that his wish would not come true.

“We can help with your problem, but you have to want to help Hertinoz.” A man with long black hair glanced at his friend, who had been accompanying him. Meanwhile, the guy with a sharp nose, without further ado, nodded and looked excited.

“He was right, Goddess Atvertha. I ask for your help so I can come to the Underworld anytime.” Hertinoz responded to Havento’s words. A thin-lipped girl just watched the two young men there, and this moment made them confused because the Moon Goddess did not even show any expression.

“What did you mean? I did not get it.” The girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, finally asked while looking at the two immortal gods.

“I will tell you briefly about my problem. You may not know that I am the God of Communication. My job is very busy and heavy, so it makes me bored. I once promised Havento so that I could come to the Underworld to rest and help, but the problem is that I can’t go there whenever I want because the place seems to reject my presence.” Lord Hertinoz answered Atvertha’s question so that she would understand.

Goddess Atvertha’s face did not show any changes, so Havento started to take the initiative to help his partner. “Hertinoz was not lying. He also told me the same thing.”

“I still do not understand. What should I do? In what way can I help Hertinoz?” That smart girl asked the two men again, so Havento looked back at the Upperworld God.

“Tell her, Hertinoz. She is still confused.” The burly man began to turn his gaze towards the door. He seemed to let his close friend negotiate with Atvertha.

I could see that the Goddess Avtexia, indeed, sealed the door. Actually, it is easy for me to break the spell, but Atvertha has not been able to do it. If she agrees to help Hertinoz, then Hertinoz and I will have to fulfil the agreement she would offer, thought Lord Havento.

Hertinoz turned to Havento, and the man realized that the Ruler of the Underworld’s focus was in another direction, specifically the door to Atvertha’s room. A woman who looked youthful was confused by the attitude of the two immortal gods, whose requirements Hertinoz had not yet made clear to her.

The white man turned his attention back to Atvertha. “I am not surprised that you are still confused. I do not know how you can help, but before I met Havento and came here, I heard information from the conversation between Goddess Athakilama and Lord Tatheon. They were members of The Great God Council. She told him that only you could come to the Underworld without any problems after getting permission from Nyx or Havento. This situation might happen because you would replace your mom’s position as the Moon Goddess and Queen of Witches.”

“What would I do to make you enter the Underworld easily? How can I do your wish? Because we have to make a fair agreement in the sense that it is mutually beneficial and workable. Please explain further.”

“I guess you can bless me directly, Goddess Atvertha. Just put your right hand on my head and say your blessings to me, like ‘I bless you, Lord Hertinoz, to enter the Underworld whenever you want it, at least once a year.’ Yeah, something like that.”

“Are you sure, Hertinoz?” Armen Fautus Lugthna’s lover asked again because she was still doubtful about Hertinoz’s statement. However, the same man she had just met nodded steadily as if his words were true.

“I am absolutely sure. One hundred per cent, Goddess.” A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-eight centimeters, answered confidently.

A woman who could see in the dark felt great relief. She really wanted to scream, to express what was hidden in her heart. However, this intention had to be abandoned because there were two immortal gods. Atvertha accepted the conditions given by the opposite sex, so that girl said, “Okay, deal!”
