The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later,

“Where are we now, Nyx?”

A violet-eyed girl was confused when she saw the scene in front of her. From where she and her best friend stood, about ten meters away, there was a golden door that was very glittering. The Moon Goddess looked around, and then she felt something odd because there was nothing there, only a large, empty room seen. However, the place is indeed bright, although it was not found where the source of the light was.

The Night Goddess had not given an answer yet, but she was looking at the other person, who looked confused and amazed at what she was witnessing. “Why? Are you scared?”

The silver-haired girl immediately shook her head. “No. I am not afraid. This place is strange. I have never been here before and Mom never told me about it.”

“Yeah, I am not surprised if your Mom explained nothing about this, because to enter this place, not just any gods and goddesses can enter. They must have a strong dark power in themselves. We are not entered the secret place yet, because the place where we are standing now is not the actual destination area. This is just a gate. Follow me.”

“I see. No wonder I know nothing about this.” After hearing, what Atvertha said like that, the white-eyed woman started walking again, so the goddess, who really liked a male mortal, as soon as possible followed her. The sound of their footsteps echoed there, though neither of them was walking in a hurry.

Before long, they came to a door that was the only one there. A sibling from God Havento also began to extend her right hand towards the object, then opened her palm. Meanwhile, Atvertha just observed what her best friend was doing and did not ask her anything.

“Kuthz holthz hethrath!” [1]

Suddenly, a dense of darkness began to emerge from Nyx’s right palm. Atvertha, who witnessed such an event, was stunned because she had never seen such a thing. A million questions began to appear in the girl. However, all of that was put on hold because she knew not to interfere at such an important time as now.

“Wathz ethz githz nantzhitzha?” [2]

A strange, formless voice was heard. The intonation of his voice sounded so deep, yet heavy, like the voice of a grown man speaking over a loudspeaker, that it resonated there. That smart girl started looking for the source of the sound, wanting to know who had just said that. Too bad Atvertha had found no one or anything there except for a gold door.

“Athtz nantzhitzha ethz Nyx.” [3]

The woman, who did not like sunlight, answered in exactly the same tone as the unseen voice, though with a different intonation. The only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, was still observing what her close friend was doing. She realized if it directed the gaze of the Underworld Goddess to the golden door.

“Nyx? Etzhva athtz fethz githz tothztha mitzh et immortale lathzi?” [4]

The woman who dislikes small talk realized that if she got additional questions, she began to turn her attention towards Atvertha. They stared at each other for a few seconds, and then Nyx turned her gaze back to the big shiny gold door.

“Athtz cetz tothztha mitzh et immortale lathzi. Stzhe ethz tzhe lunatz goddestz.” [5]

What was wrong with Nyx? Why did she have time to look this way, to be precise, she saw directly at me? Was that golden door asking about me? Could it be that the door is another portal to the other dimension? I guess so because, based on my current experience, when we were about to enter the underworld, we also had to enter a portal; even though that portal was in the shape of a big tree, thought Atvertha, who was still focusing on the Night Goddess.

“Wathz ethz nantzhitzha et immortale etheo?” [6]

The body of a woman who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue-black like the night and filled with a sprinkling of sparkling light, was now starting to be shrouded in a dense darkness, so Atvertha could not see her best friend who seemed to have disappeared from sight.

“Stzhe nantzhitzha ethz Atvertha egt lunatz goddestz.” [7]

“Thatzhe evoreo crazthe anteredzg.” [8]

In less than two seconds, there was a loud rumbling sound, so the girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, suddenly covered her ears because the sound was so shrill. However, Nyx remained standing there as if nothing could stop her from leaving the area.

The loud voice stopped neither, so that moment like that made the high-nosed girl bewildered. A minute later, the golden door swung open with a loud “Crack” sound.

Nyx began to fly. She was flying, giving no warning at all to the interlocutor, so Atvertha quickly did the same thing.

When they went inside, the door closed again the same way it opened. The girl with thin eyebrows looked around her and looked colourful. There were even many trees that had so many strange fruits, one of which was in the shape of a fire, but it did not burn the tree. The moment made Atvertha stunned because the scene had never occurred in her mind.

“Where are we, Nyx? What is the name of this place?” asked Atvertha, who could not help but ask.

“This is my secret place that I told you before. Can you guess the name of this location?” Nyx replied. She deliberately asked a new question, so the other person was silent for a long time.

A young lady who would later become a Queen of Witches again observed the surrounding situation. She saw something strange looking there, so Atvertha walked towards it. The Night Goddess was still watching the actions of her close friend and chose not to say anything until she felt it was enough for her.

“The name of this place… I still do not know yet. Wait for a minute.”

The white-eyed woman was still the same taking a silent stance, watching the movements of her best friend, who seemed interested in what was there. Meanwhile, Atvertha approached one of the trees where there were so many books hanging. One of the books, which was originally brown, suddenly turned orange, thereby sparking interest in the intelligent girl.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

“May I take one?”

“Sure, you may.”

Before that virgin lady had time to touch the book, the book suddenly slipped off by itself, then flew towards Atvertha as if it really attracted her to the upper-world goddess. The girl seemed to have forgotten to answer Nyx’s question because it fixated her attention on the object that was already in the front of her face.

There was silence, and only the sound of running water could be heard from fifty meters away from where the rebel goddess was standing. Atvertha still looked at the object that was still in the same position, but a doubt arose in her heart, so she did not dare to reach for the strange book.

“You can open the book if you want to,” Nyx said, breaking the silence.

Now, it was the turn of the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old girl who did not answer. She began to extend her right hand, then slowly touched it toward the book’s front cover. The thing started to move on its own, even though Atvertha had not turned the front page at all. The orange light that had only been shimmering around the book was getting bigger and bigger, as if it resembled the sun glowing in the sky.

Atvertha was not afraid, much less surprised. She continued to stare at the book with an expressionless expression as if waiting for something to come from there.

“Welcome, Goddess Atvertha. Welcome to the-”
