The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In the Underworld, specifically in Lord Havento’s area,

“Where have you been? Yesterday, you ran away after coming here.” The baritone voice sounded cold, so that a man had just entered a safe area that not all immortal gods or goddesses could reach unless they had received permission from the Ruler of the Underworld. That curly-haired man could already guess who said those words, but he still acted relaxed, as if everything was fine.

“I just came. Relax.” The guest answered, turning around. He saw a tall man with a three-headed dog, which was quite large but not taller than the owner. Hertinoz started smiling broadly as if he tried to lighten the atmosphere. However, Nyx’s eldest brother was not impressed at all.”

“I thought you would not show up.” A man with long black hair continued to stare intently at the person he was talking to so that Hertinoz shook his head three times.

“Why did I not come? I promised you that I would definitely come. Besides, we have not planned our arrival on Earth, so we also have to discuss it with Goddess Atvertha.” When he heard the name of the Moon Goddess, as soon as possible, a man with a scary aura fell silent. This moment caught the friend’s attention because he had noticed so many strange attituded that were always shown by the first son of the couple, Lord Hetzh – the Ruler of Darkness and Goddess Aymenth – the Ruler of Sadness.

“What was wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?” A white young man could not stand the silence there, so he decided to ask his close friend directly. The three-hundred-and-ten-year-old man shook his head. Havento seemed to reject reality, even though, in his heart, he felt the opposite.

“Nothing. Atvertha is in my specially prepared room, and there is my sister accompanying her.” Havento refused to continue the same topic and without further ado, changed the subject. That burly man even turned around and started walking, followed by the three-headed dog.

The God of Communication held back his laughter, seeing the strange reaction of the god he was talking to, but he did not want to make the host angry, so the young man was forced to follow him, even though he had to walk from behind. “I see, so Goddess Atvertha is accompanied by Nyx? Wow!”

“Yeah. I deliberately asked my sister to come there.” A man wearing all black answered honestly, but this statement actually gave Hertinoz a new idea.

“Why did you act like that? Has there been a fight between them?” The green-eyed youth asked while still following Havento from behind. He ignored the cold air that pierced his skin, because high curiosity dominated within him.

“You can ask it directly with Nyx.” A man who rarely smiled remained adamant about not answering Hertinoz’s ridiculous questions. The clever young man did not want to just give up. He tried to walk beside Havento, but his pet dog got in the way, so Hertinoz could not carry out his wish.

“Havento, do you have any further plans? I heard the news that-”

Before that immortal god had time to finish his words, Havento cut him off first. “Do not say it here. It is better if you just save it for now and tell it later when you meet Atvertha.”

“Okay, if you say so.” A young man with a sharp nose did not want to fight, so he fell silent. The atmosphere returned to silence because the two immortal gods had stopped talking. The cold wind began to feel on Hertinoz’s skin, so he wanted to rush to his destination.

In the middle of the journey, suddenly, a man who was good at negotiating felt hungry, so he remembered the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia. “Havento, have you given food to Goddess Atvertha? Maybe she is hungry.”

“Yesterday, I told Atvertha that if she is hungry, she can speak directly in the air and say the name of the food she wants to eat.” A young guy, who had a height of two meters tall, continued to walk calmly, even though Havento could not wait to meet the girl he loved.

“Whoa! That was so nice of you.” Hertinoz praised the interlocutor. However, Havento was silent, as if he was ignoring his friend’s words.

I am sure all his silence happened because Havento did not want to be asked about his feelings. Should I ask Goddess Aromi for a love potion? It is a pity that I was too late in meeting the Moon Goddess because if I had met earlier, I would have matched my cold friend with her. Was Nyx not trying to bring them closer? I can’t do that because I have signed an agreement with her and Havento. Hopefully, in the future, there will be an immortal goddess who can become Havento’s wife, Hertinoz hoped in his heart so that the host could not hear what was in his heart.

Ten minutes later

The two immortal gods had arrived in front of a black door that said ‘Reserved for My Guest.’ When Havento wanted to knock, he heard the faint voice of the Night Goddess, so that man canceled his intention. “Why do you not just marry my brother? Havento is handsome and not flirtatious. He is genuinely loyal. You can stay here forever, especially since he prepared his own comfortable room like this, so you do not have to bother. Not all immortal gods want to do this.”

Hertinoz saw Havento silent in front of the door, so the young god frowned. Meanwhile, a violet-eyed girl snorted and said to Nyx. “Do not talk carelessly. Your brother used to hate me. Did you forget his actions when I came to your place for the first time? He even scolded you for daring to take me there. Since then, I have been afraid of him.”

His guest’s words really hit the tall man’s heart. He did not blame a woman with pink lips because he had indeed done something like that. How bad I was. I really regret ever doing that action. I wish I could change the time, but it was too late. I can’t be selfish because he already has a mortal guy as her mate, Havento tried to cheer himself up, even though sadness was still surging in his mind.

The three-headed dog looked at its master as if trying to find out what its master was feeling, even though it was in vain. Meanwhile, the God of Communication chose to walk on Havento’s right side, and when he arrived there, Hertinoz turned to his friend. The Lord of the Underworld’s face looked strange, so this situation made the young man confused.

“Havento?” Hertinoz tried to call his name, but there was no response from the name’s owner.

“Havento, are you okay?” That well-built man called again, but he dared to pat Nyx’s older brother’s right hand. This action made Havento wake up, and then he turned towards the other immortal god, only to realize that Hertinoz was there.

“Are you sick, Havento? You have been quiet here for a long time. I am worried.” A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-eight centimeters, looked worried, so the god he was talking to changed his facial expression so that Hertinoz would not ask for more details.

“No, I am not sick.” After saying such a short sentence, the long-haired man knocked on the door so that the two immortal goddesses heard the sound.

“Who is that?” Nyx asked, much to Havento’s relief.

“It is me and Hertinoz,” answered Havento, flatly.

“Come in, brother.” The door opened by itself, so the two young men entered the room. When they were there, the same door closed again as if an invisible hand had made it so. Hertinoz and Havento approached Atvertha and Nyx.

“Hello, Goddess Atvertha and Nyx! How are you?” Hertinoz greeted the two immortal goddesses in a friendly manner.

“Hello, Hertinoz and Havento. Sit down, please.” Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover invited the two men to sit down, and they did what the opposite sex asked them to do.

“What are your plans, Atvertha? Do you want to go straight to Earth, or is there something else possible? Hertinoz, you just tell me the news you’ve heard.” Without further ado, Havento opened the discussion so that their attention was focused on the topic.

“Yeah, I remember that your parents were very panicked, Goddess Atvertha. They looked for you everywhere, even sending a man named Tenzior to check every place in the Upper World, including the residences of the gods and goddesses. The Heavenly Library, too, could not go unnoticed. You can’t go anywhere.” Hertinoz revealed the information he had, so Havento, Nyx, and the virgin goddess listened carefully.

“If that was the case, then they definitely look for me on Earth. Hertinoz, have you heard any other news?” A thin-lipped girl asked the messenger.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

“I heard that Lord Helion chatted with Lord Bathzukrah for quite a long time. He was the owner of the Heavenly Library.” The intelligent god answered, but he did not mention the details yet. Meanwhile, both Havento and Nyx just listened to Hertinoz and Atvertha’s conversation in silence.

“Did you hear anything they said, even a little?”

“I heard several things about you leaving the palace, then there was about mortals, and Lord Helion mentioned the name of the tribal chief and about an immortal god and goddess who protected the area. I could not hear everything because it was likely to be discovered.”

“If my dad wanted to know about Lord Athamalaya. That was a serious and danger situation.”

“Goddess Atvertha knows him? You are fortunate because Lord Athalamaya very rarely associates with fellow immortals. His wife and him are very picky, and only a few gods or goddesses can enter their circle.”

“Yes. I am acquainted with Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea because they are the gods and goddesses who oversee my mortal man tribe. Have you ever heard the story of Lord Athalamaya’s weaknesses, Hertinoz?”

“If I am not mistaken, I have heard that he and his wife could not fight at night because their power were more towards providing sustenance to humans, whereas mortals worked more in the morning or afternoon and rest at night day.”

A silver-haired woman was silent. I am sure Mom, Dad, and Toghnath will attack Armen’s place, but when? Dad already knows about Lord Athalamaya, so that could be his weakness. In that case, it would be better to go there at night and check on their condition, thought Atvertha, who did not realize that she was the center of attention.

“Havento and Hertinoz. I want to go to Earth tonight. I am sure that my parents will come there and want to destroy innocent mortals.” Atvertha looked at the faces of the two immortal gods in turn.

“Are you sure, Atvertha?” The baritone voice of the Lord of the Underworld heard, which made the name’s owner nodded.

“I am absolutely sure. They will definitely use this opportunity to attack Armen and his tribe, especially since they already know about Lord Athalamaya and Goddess Tathatea. I can’t just stay silent.” The two immortal gods looked at each other, and then they nodded, making Atvertha relieved.

“Then, we will wait for the sun to set. Once the sky is dark, we can wait for ten or fifteen minutes, then go to Armen’s place. I will guide you.” A woman who could see in the dark said what she wanted so that Havento and Hertinoz understood her instructions.

“If your parents did not attack there, what would you do?” Hertinoz asked Atvertha.

“We could wait until after midnight. I am sure Toghnath will come along, so he would definitely have some ideas to my parent.” The young lady answered with confidence, and a strange premonition rose within her.

“Okay. We agree with your idea.”
