The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a palace in the ocean,

A man who was sitting on the throne began to feel something strange. Faintly, Goddess Avtexia’s husband heard a voice that was very small, almost inaudible. Lord Helion frowned, confused as to what had happened. “I thought I was hearing something. Maybe it was all just my feeling,” muttered the Ruler of the Seas.

The strange sound that had been heard there but was very small, above a whisper, became clearer and clearer over time. In fact, a man with a long silver beard heard two words that made him startled. “Dad. Dad.”

A man who mostly lived in the palace in the sky began to look around, but no one dared to call him that. Lord Helion saw four bodyguards in the form of mermen. They were at the door and remained on guard there without looking at the king. This sight made Atvertha’s biological father convinced that the voice he had heard was true.

“I was just about to call my princess, but she already did it first. It is impossible for me to have a conversation with Atvertha here. After all, I do not want the problem to run away because I prefer a mortal guy as her mate to be known by my subordinates. ”

“Dad. I am here.” The two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old girl’s voice sounded again, but this time, it was right in Lord Helion’s right ear. The voice seemed like Atvertha was whispering to him directly, even though, in reality, the immortal goddess was not in the same place as her father.

“Dad. Are you there? Please answer me. I want to say something to you.” The voice of Faustus Lugthna’s future wife was heard again, but the owner of the name had not responded at all, which made the silver-haired woman who was still in the Underworld confused. Bad thoughts continued to haunt the virgin. However, she did not give up and repeated the same actions as before.

Lord Helion remained sitting on the throne and had not gone anywhere. He still wore a calm expression as if nothing strange had happened to him. Not long after, a man who had the appearance of a mermaid, like the guards in the palace, entered the room. He bowed respectfully before the king, then said, “Your Highness, the room has been prepared and ready. Is there anything else I can help you with?”

The four hundred-and-forty-year-old man nodded. As soon as possible, he felt relieved because he was about to leave the throne. After all, Atvertha’s voice continued to be heard in his right ear, which made Lord Helion hurry to meet his only daughter. “Thank you. Make sure no one comes in there.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

In a room in the Underworld,

A young lady seemed to exhale. Feelings of disappointment can no longer be contained. She removed her palms from her chest and then opened her eyes. Atvertha was silent for a few seconds as if trying to calm herself, even though it was difficult. “Dad was very angry with me. When I called him, he did not answer it. How sad I am.”

“At least, I have tried to apologize to Dad but failed. If it is like this, then it is better if I just ask Nyx for help, but I can’t do that now.” A woman with a sharp nose was about to lie down on the bed when suddenly a booming voice was heard, which made Atvertha startled.

“Atvertha!”

The wallflower girl suddenly looked around as if she was looking for someone. However, she has not found an immortal god or goddess apart from herself. “Did I hear correctly? Whose voice was that? Could it be that it was Dad? Ah, that is impossible. I have called Dad many times, but he did not respond. How could he want to come here now, even if it was just his voice.”NôvelDrama.Org content.

“Princess! Atvertha!” The strange but loud voice returned so that the pale-faced girl was sure that the owner of that voice was really her father.

“Dad! I am here!” exclaimed the girl who did not like the flirtatious man. A few moments later, a male face appeared that was very familiar to that immortal goddess. She knew that she could not hug Lord Helion, but his presence made Atvertha happy, even though this situation was only for a moment.

“Why were you looking for me? You told me that you wanted to say something to me. What did you want to say?” The man wearing a crown on his head deliberately asked like that, but Lord Helion did not show a fierce or angry face so that the other person’s courage did not shrink.

“I-”

Before the woman with thin eyebrows had time to finish her words, a voice whispered in her ear, causing Atvertha to fall silent. “It is better for you to kneel so that you can get forgiveness more quickly from your father. After that, you can kneel. Trust me, Lord Helion will grant forgiveness.”

Lord Helion was worried because he saw Atvertha’s behavior, which was different from usual. He wanted to be angry. However, for some reason, a man holding the trident in his right hand just let it go. What was wrong with Atvertha? Did she deliberately want to make me angry, or was she forgetting something else? Luckily, my daughter came to me. If she faced my spouse, they would definitely have a big fight, thought the wise man.

Miraculously, Atvertha knelt down, which made the burly man anxious because he had never seen such an act before. “What are you doing, Atvertha?”

The pink-lipped woman began to look down, causing Lord Helion to panic for fear that something would happen to Atvertha. A man who could create big winds and storms did not want the girl to do anything further, so he felt the need to say something to Nyx’s best friend, who was still in the Underworld, “Why are you kneeling and looking down like that? Stand up! You are a goddess. Do not lower yourself.”

“I am sorry, Dad. I have made a big mistake because I went to war with Mom and Dad. Please forgive me.” After saying these words, the girl who received beauty from her biological mother prostrated herself so that Lord Helion. He was originally sitting in a chair and could, as soon as possible, stand up. A man who rarely got angry never thought that Atvertha would be able to do this and that his daughter’s actions could make the owner of the palace in the sea sad.

“Atvertha. Do not do it. If you prostrate, it will be the same as lowering your position, as if you were the same as the mortals. Stand up! Your status is higher than the mortals.” The man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimeters, was not willing to do what the Moon Goddess did because he thought it was too excessive. However, that girl had not yet woken up, which confused Lord Helion.

“I do not want to do that before getting forgiveness from Dad.” Atvertha remained adamant about her decision, even though her interlocutor had forbidden it. The atmosphere between them became a little awkward because the young goddess was still in a prostrate position and had no signs of getting up.

Lord Helion did not lack reason. A man who was able to create a whirlpool to drown his enemies still wanted the person he was talking to to stop carrying out such actions. “I will not give my forgiveness if you still act like a mortal woman, Atvertha. Stand up! You are my daughter and a goddess. Do not be ashamed of yourself.”

The girl, who was still in a room in Havento’s area, was forced to follow her father’s orders. I do not want to argue with Dad. I really needed his forgiveness, even though I was forced to follow the Book of Destiny’s advice to humble myself. I dislike that idea, but I have no choice, thought Atvertha, who was now in a standing position.

“Why did you choose that mortal guy as your mate? Why did you not look for another immortal god?” Without further ado, these two questions were given to Atvertha, so the girl had to be willing to answer them.

“I have liked him since the first time I met him, Dad. He is hardworking and loyal, so I think he would be great to be my husband. I just want him and no other men.” Atvertha answered honestly, even though Lord Helion still doubted these answers. A man who was always patient looked at the expressionless expression of the opposite sex.

“So many immortal gods are still single, handsome, and they have good qualities. Why do you still choose Armen as your mate? Are you just ignorant because you are in love with him, so you ignore the quality men of our nation?” Lord Helion was still not satisfied with this explanation, so he demanded a more reasonable answer.

“Nyx also suggested that, in fact, she had been against my choice for a long time because she wanted that mortal as my mate, but I really did not want to look for another man. For me, Armen is enough.” When Lord Helion heard the name of the Night Goddess mentioned, he immediately remembered what Lord Toretz’s wife said: that she did not help Atvertha in her romance with that mortal male.

“Love is not enough just to rely on feelings, Atvertha. You have to be realistic. After all, as an immortal goddess, you cannot survive living on Earth because you have been living in the Upper World. You have to get a man from our kind so that he can protect you. If your husband came from a mortal nation, he could not save you because he did not have the magick abilities. Besides, staying too long on Earth will weaken your power. Have you ever thought about those things?” Lord Helion provided many new views, as well as questions that made the immortal goddess think about her relationship with Armen.

“I just want Armen in my life, Dad.” That was Atvertha’s only answer to her father’s question, which made Lord Helion shake his head.

“You can’t survive on Earth for long, my child. You are a Moon Goddess. The Moon is always in the sky and never goes down, let alone stays there. When the Moon left, because it was already morning, it disappeared in the sky to move to another area where it was time to turn into night. Have you seen how your mom manages everything? She always maintains the balance of nature, even though it is very difficult, and it is all been done consistently for hundreds of years. Do not underestimate her because you are annoyed with her; you ignore all the good things she has ever done, especially teaching you a lot of knowledge, including spells.”

Lord Helion did not get bored of advising his daughter, who still lacked experience, so the girl was silent for a long time. An idea began to emerge in her mind, which may seem trivial but had a big effect on the girl because it concerned the love story of her parents. “Dad, how come you married Mom and lived in the sky for so long even though you rule all the seas on Earth? Are you not from different groups even though you are both immortal gods and goddesses?”

“We-”
