The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Somewhere that only the Night Goddess knew,NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“You are such a crazy, dumb goddess, Nyx!” There was a scream from a girl who was in pain. The Goddess, who was mentioned by her name, wore an expressionless facial expression and paid no heed to those words.

When a woman with long black hair was about to answer, but suddenly a booming voice was heard there. That moment was shocking; the two immortal goddesses lived in different areas. “Nyx, there is a message for the Upper world Goddess to come with you.”

“Who came to deliver the message?” Nyx asked, curious.

The pain that stung over the body of the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, gradually faded. The girl’s heart was filled with deep gratitude, although there were feelings of resentment mixed with hostility. Meanwhile, a woman with a scary aura did not pay attention to Atvertha because her focus was on the other side.

I almost died because I suffered so much. That stupid friend almost killed me, but come to think of it, it was impossible because later I had to return to my parent’s house. Mom and Dad will not stay silent if something bad happens to me later. They must have gone berserk, then demanded Nyx be held accountable, the slender girl thought.

“Lord Magthant was about to deliver the news,” a voice replied, with no one appearing before the Goddess.

As soon as possible, Lord Havento’s sister frowned as if something was off with the information she had just received.

“Lord Magthant? Is not he a God of Matchmaking, Family, and Marriage? Why did he even want to find my friend?” Nyx asked further.

“You will understand, when you have heard the contents of the message,” replied the mysterious voice.

“Okay. I allow a message from Lord Magthant to be opened here.”

In less than two seconds, a strange sight appeared; they saw a brown-skinned man kneeling in front of an altar table where there was a statue there. In the hands of the male mortal was a wooden plate containing three kinds of flowers and three kinds of fruit. However, his face was not clearly visible because only his back appeared.

The Moon Goddess’s eyes widened when she realized this. She seemed to recognize the kneeling human, even though she had not seen his face. Meanwhile, a woman who hated the sun still has the same facial expression. “Is not that guy….” Atvertha did not continue her words.

The Goddess’s eyes, which were originally white, had now returned to violet. A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres, could stand up, even though Atvertha was initially lying on the ground. Suddenly, the memory of the Crossroads Lady, where she had once saved a seriously injured man, resurfaced without being able to prevent it.

“Lord Magthant, I do not know what to ask for because to be honest, I came to this temple because I wanted to avoid someone.” The man’s voice was heard so clearly in the secret place that both Nyx and Atvertha could hear clearly, despite the fact that the young man’s lips were tightly shut.

“I… I do not want to be matched with someone. That girl is highly annoying, because she is too flirtatious, and likes to come home with a variety of food and drink, so it is hard to refuse her gifts.”

A woman, who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like the night and filled with a sprinkling of sparkling light, was still listening intently. Meanwhile, a virgin goddess felt happy and alert at the same time. The memory where she saw a male mortal with a young girl flashed through her mind again.

“Dad always asked me to get married quickly. I hate being forced like that. No girl has caught my eye yet… but I guess I found one, but I am sure she was not an ordinary girl because she could fly into the sky. I saw she flew at nighttime, when our tribe celebrated a bountiful harvest.”

The Underworld Goddess spontaneously looked back at Atvertha, to be exact. She saw her close friend who had stood up straight; even miraculously, her body had returned to normal. This condition made Nyx gasp, but that woman did not show it directly and immediately turned her attention toward the front.

“I am attracted to the girl. Did she come from among the fairies? Or maybe that woman is a Goddess? Ah, it was impossible for an immortal goddess to come when we were gathered, where no one calls out her name. I wish I knew her name because I extremely want to meet her again. I want to see what kind of fate will bring for us?”

“If she is indeed an immortal goddess, may Lord Magthant convey my greetings to her? Please tell her to come here again and meet me. I had never seen a girl like her before, so I was sure that she was not human like me. I just remember that she had a long hair, and her hair was silver.”

Atvertha’s cheeks turned red when she heard the last sentence of the prayer that was said by the mortal male, even if only in her heart. Meanwhile, Nyx could only shake her head twice times, snorting softly, because she did not expect her best friend to be seen by ordinary people, and in this case, with a male mortal.

Oh, my … it turns out in that night, he saw me! Damn! How careless I was! The mortal should not see me because it was really dangerous. What if later, Lord Magthant leaked it to my parents? Hopefully, he does not do that, Atvertha hoped, trying to calm herself down.

“Forgive me because I almost forgot to tell You something. Please accept my offering, o Lord Magthant. I apologize if I am telling You about my story, because I did not find a trusted friend to share my problem with. Next time, if I come here again, I will prepare a nice offer. Thank You for Your help.”

The burly man lowered his head slightly, then stood up slowly. That mortal guy also advanced to the front of the altar table, and then, after arriving at the destination, he put down the plate he had been holding as soon as possible. In less than a second, the vision disappeared, causing the situation in the place to be quiet again.

“Well, how interesting,” said Nyx, breaking the silence between them.

The woman did not change position and was still with her back to the interlocutor. The Moon Goddess felt sad because she no longer heard the heart of the macho guy, but she was happy, knowing that the man was not married and did not have a lover.

“Atvertha, did you hear that prayer?”

“Yes, I did. I heard that clearly.”

“Did you know who that mortal man was?”

“I guess I knew who the man who was praying was. What was the matter?”

“How did you feel after hearing that prayer?”

“What do you mean, Nyx?”

“You must be happy because he prayed for you in front of Lord Magthant, God of Matchmaking, Family, and Marriage. Am I right in this?” asked Nyx, who was still holding back from cursing at her close friend that madly in love with a male mortal.

The pointy-nosed girl did not seem to understand that question, so she needed more information. “What did you mean? Why not just say it outright? You made me confused.”

“Atvertha, I thought that night you cast a spell so that no mortal could see, but you were careless because that male mortal could see you. Did not you think that you dig your own grave? What if that bloody man instead came to another God, and then he did something like that? I can assure you if that God can report the contents of the human prayer to your mom and dad. You were lucky because Lord Magthant was not that kind of vile God.”

The pale-faced girl was silent. Nyx’s words hurt her heart so much, but they all contained the truth because they invited Atvertha to think logically about the worst possibilities that could happen.

“Atvertha, if that were the case, then you would be better at doing this right away-”
