What Did You Do to Me?
At the secret place,
“Enough!”
The images that had appeared earlier also disappeared when Atvertha heard a girl’s voice with long, black hair. Meanwhile, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, seemed to wake up, so her palms as soon as possible separated from each other, not like in the beginning.
“How is your feeling now?” Nyx asked in a mysterious tone.
“That… that just now really drained my power,” Atvertha answered honestly.
After saying that, the virgin goddess’s slender body suddenly slumped down by itself. Her close friend immediately pointed her index finger at Atvertha, who was about to fall to the ground. “Ekthaz thoithza!” [1]
In less than five seconds, the body of the Moon Goddess returned to its normal stance. Atvertha felt relieved, although it was undeniable that her power had not returned, so she felt weak and helpless at the same time. The other person looked at the condition of the Upper-world Goddess, who looked worried.
“No wonder you can feel so weak, because I guess it might be your first time to do it. Am I right?” Nyx asked without further ado.
“Yes,” replied Atvertha curtly.
The girl, who has a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, was not able to say further. Aware of such events, Nyx looked at Atvertha earnestly and said, “I warn you, someday, when you become a full-fledged goddess, do not show your feelings to anyone, especially in public. Do not let any god nor goddess see your weakness, even for just a little, or you will get into a trouble.”
A young lady still did not understand God Havento’s sister’s words. However, she somehow nodded instead, as if understanding. Waiting no longer, Nyx raised her left hand, and then a large red light appeared from her palm.
“Thagtiath athtz utterta gebtz tatmanth cogth bethronz, efthei wagthiontz Atvertha egt lunatz goddestz.” [2]
The light was getting bigger and bigger, like a transparent hot-air balloon, then the object seemed to float and entered Atvertha’s body. The silver-haired woman could only surrender because she could not move her body. After all, Nyx’s spell, which had a powerful effect, had supported her body, so she did not fall at all.
The pointy-nosed girl experienced something strange but could say nothing in less than five seconds. At the same time, Nyx was still watching Atvertha. A woman who hated the sun seemed to want to see the effect being felt by the other person who had the same age as her.
That quiet girl started to shake as if she was being electrified. Atvertha felt pain but could not do much because her body seemed to be controlled by the Night Goddess. She could not even scream, even though what she was going through was excruciating, so the moment surprised Nyx. However, a woman with a scary aura just let such an incident was happening to her best friend.
“If you really feel pain and can’t stand it, you can tell me anytime, Atvertha,” Nyx said with an expressionless facial expression.
Atvertha’s tongue seemed stiff so that she could not answer at all. A woman who liked a male mortal could not even think further because of the pain that was whacked. The atmosphere in the place became even tenser because the dark aura emanated by Nyx was so domineering.
It is insane! I do not know what kind of power Nyx put in to make it like this, but it is really hurtful. What should I do when I can’t say anything, even my body seems to lose control? Thought Atvertha, who was struggling to fight all the pain that hit her.
The girl’s eyes widened, then suddenly turned white, with her body held high. Nyx, who saw the incident, immediately smirked as if she had been waiting for such a moment. Atvertha’s arms and legs stretched out on their own, which she could not control. Time seemed to stop spinning for the Queen of Witches because all the pain always came.
The black energy began to appear all over Atvertha’s body. Even the power was getting bigger and bigger, forming a pitch-black circle. The girl’s thin, naturally pink lips parted, but Nyx heard nothing. In less than three minutes, there was a strange change in the goddess’s body, which caused Nyx’s grin to grow wider and more frightening.
A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-four centimeters tall, could be seen clapping her hands three times, then the dark energy in Atvertha’s body reentered the body of that young lady. Not long after, the smart girl slowly lay on the ground. Her eyes, which had been wide open, were now closed on their own.
That Night Goddess kept an eye on all these moments. She stared expressionlessly at Atvertha, who was already lying helplessly. The atmosphere there was starting to feel cold, but the owner of the secret place was acting casual. There was silence in that location. Nyx was still standing where he was and had moved nowhere.
“If I do not do this, Atvertha will find it difficult to survive. I guess it was good enough, because the dark forces had entered one hundred percent of her body. If all goes well, I am sure she will soon get up in a few minutes,” Nyx muttered softly.

Two minutes later
A beautiful girl, who was still lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes. Atvertha felt that everything seemed blurry, making her unsure of where she was. Meanwhile, a Goddess living in the underworld had yet to open a conversation and remained silent like a statue
“Where am I now?” said Atvertha, confused.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
The slim woman began to try to move her body. However, she had not succeeded and was still in the same position. A light breeze brushed against Atvertha’s skin, so the young lady was a little comforted. “Ugh, my head hurts. What was happening to me?”
The woman who was appraised by the God of War was silent for a moment as if she was digesting what had happened. I remember … earlier, after doing what Nyx said, she asked me to stop. Shortly after, I felt powerless, and she was helping me, but in a painful mode. After that, I could remember nothing else now. What did she do to me? Atvertha thought while trying to move her body back.
With a tremendous struggle, the poor girl was finally able to move. Meanwhile, a woman who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue, and black like the night and filled with sparkling light kept an eye on every development of her close friend. Nyx did not seem to be there, even though, in reality, she was not going anywhere.
When Atvertha had stood up, the quiet woman began to notice something odd so that she forgot about Nyx, who was still faithfully waiting for her in silence. “Why does my body feel weird, huh?”
Atvertha also turned to the right hand, wide-eyed, and screamed hysterically as if she was seeing something scary. This time, Nyx was no longer silent. The white-eyed woman flew over to the girl, who was in shock, then stood in front of her.
“What is going on?” she asked softly.
“My hands! My hands!” replied Atvertha, panicking.
The two hundred and seventy-year-old woman suddenly pointed at the changed hand, which had originally been two, had now increased, bringing the total to six, meaning she already had three pairs of hands. Such an event, of course, shocked Atvertha’s heart, who had never experienced it. Nyx did not answer and just smiled contentedly, which made the girl unable to contain her fury.
“What did you do to my hands, huh? What did you do to me? How could this happen? Are you crazy? I did not expect you to be mean to me, Nyx! Have you lost your mind?!” The silver-haired girl repeatedly asked, even the tone of voice used by Atvertha rose.
A woman with a sinister aura smiled, which added to the anger inside Atvertha because she wanted a satisfactory and reasonable answer as soon as possible. “Me? I did that on purpose because-”
