The Moon Goddess and Her Mate novel Chapter 35

A few moments later

A young woman with long silver hair appeared out of a 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, 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 is flying downwards, to go to her destination, namely to the earth.

"Hopefully, I can meet my male mortal soon," she mumbled to herself.

The atmosphere on the earth where the mortals live is already dark, so this is a relief for the young lady who will 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, the 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 Atvexia 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 male mortal.”

Now, the pale-faced girl has arrived at her destination. She stood not far from the mouth of the cave, 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 male mortal's body. If you don't 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 male mortal. 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

In a house owned by Chief Agbazarth in Tatkhion, it was silent, 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.

"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 then landed on the nose of the male mortal. 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 has a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall, widened his eyes when he heard the beast 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!"
