Chapter 136. The Special Place
“Actually, we will check a place for you.” The black-haired man said earnestly, causing the slender girl to feel relieved.
“Okay. So, what do we have to do to get there?” The virgin goddess asked, looking at the other person flatly. The man pointed to a pentacle-shaped tree. The young lady’s attention was directed there, and the two big black dogs also carried out similar actions to the master.
“I have to hold on to the tree, and for your two pet companions, they could bite the hem of your dress. This journey will not be easy.” Nyx’s eldest brother answered, looking down at the dogs. They barked once as if they understood that immortal God’s instructions.
“You have to bite hard but do not hurt the Moon Goddess’ feet. Whatever happens, never let go of your goddess, or you will be lost in the dark tunnel of time.” Lord Havento gave direct directions to the two big dogs, so they started barking again.
“Good boy!” praised the man with the scary aura. He turned to the opposite sex, who was waiting. Havento walked towards the girl, then stopped to the target’s left. “Atvertha, your right palm should hold the center of the pentacle image, while your left palm should hold mine. I will do the same.”
“Why should I do that?” asked Atvertha, who did not want to obey the other God’s words. The three hundred and ten-year-old man grinned, giving the maiden a lousy feeling.
“You will not like the effect. Trust me,” answered Havento, casually. He started holding the center of the pentacle, and the two dogs with them did what the Lord of the Underworld had ordered. Only Atvertha remained silent, so the man dressed all in black frowned.
“What effects will you feel during the trip?” Atvertha asked again in a probing tone. Havento was starting to get annoyed with the girl’s attitude, which he felt was ridiculous, but the man, who rarely smiled, tried to be patient, even though he could not bear to leave there as soon as possible.
“You could be lost in eternal darkness. I do not want to help if that situation happened because I warned you. You are in the Underworld. Anything can happen in my place. If you are still stubborn, you and the two pet companions will disappear forever from the immortal world. Try it, and you will see.” Havento deliberately emphasized word for word when talking to the girl, and Atvertha began to feel reluctant about the tall man.
“Okay, if you say so.” The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, was willing to follow Havento’s words, so the young God faintly smiled because he was happy.
“Excellent! Darkness comes over us. Bring me, Atvertha, and her pet companion to her place!” Havento spoke another language the Upper World Goddess did not understand, so that moment inspired the young lady to ask the other person.
“Ha-”
Before the pink-lipped woman had time to ask, she suddenly felt her body being sucked in very firmly so that Atvertha could not carry out her initial intention. Still, instead, she grasped Havento’s palm tightly and closed her eyes. This moment was not only experienced by that immortal goddess but also by her two pet companions.
Datzha and Geztha felt very difficult because there was a considerable force pulling on their bodies, so they both bit more challenged at the hem of their beloved goddess’s dress while trying their best to survive this strange situation.
Time seemed to stop turning for Atvertha and her two pet companions. They continued to fight so as not to be sucked in by a foreign force whose cause they did not yet know. Their bodies seemed to be sucked in one direction, but the goddess and her dogs could do nothing but follow Lord Havento’s orders before this event occurred.
A few moments later, the enormous energy that had sucked in the bodies of Atvertha and the two large dogs had disappeared. Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife felt the cold again. The wallflower girl was confused but did not know what to do. “Havento? Are we there yet?” she asked.
“Yes, we have arrived. Open your eyes,” answered Havento as he let go of Atvertha’s hand.
A slim girl, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, opened her eyes and began to look around. She was amazed by the view: the place was spacious, and it did not even feel scary, let alone gloomy, because the golden color dominated there. “Wow.” That was all Atvertha could say. Havento smiled faintly and returned to his regular expression.
“Come on, let’s go to the other side. I will show you something.” A strong-jawed man started to invite the girl. Atvertha nodded, then followed the host. The two black dogs were not left behind either. They loyally accompany the Crossroads Lady as if that immortal goddess is the most precious treasure and must not be let go. They continued walking, following Havento at the front as if showing them the way.
This place is simply outstanding! I thought it would be full of darkness, but it turned out the opposite happened. I am so glad there is light like this, so there’s no need for light from a torch. Wait a minute, where are the torches I made earlier? Why did I just realize this? Thought Atvertha, who looked at both hands, but nothing was there.
Just as the intelligent goddess was about to ask Hertinoz’s best friend, unexpectedly, the man turned around, so they looked at each other. “You will sit here, and those who will visit as guests can sit here,” Havento explained while pointing to a rather large chair that looked luxurious. Then, moved to an area not far away, about three meters, where there was a table and twelve chairs.
The slender girl was again stunned by what she saw. Meanwhile, the goddess’s two dogs seemed to observe the scene and occasionally sniff the air at that location. A man who controlled the Underworld observed that the opposite sex’s expression always looked flat, but Havento was sure that the girl was happy and touched by the gift he gave.
“Why are you doing all this, Havento? You have helped me so much.” Atvertha was embarrassed by the kindness she had received, so she did not know how to repay it.
“You are part of our family, even though you are not my wife. I have given you the key to get in here, right? So, do not ever say something like that.” Havento was sad when he said that Atvertha was not his wife, but he tried to stay strong so that the girl would not know his feelings.
“Thank you, Havento. So, you made this room especially for me? Which part can I use to judge the spirits of the Lycan Kings?” That young lady seemed to deliberately divert the conversation, which made Havento relieved because he did not get lost in sadness.
“For the court area, you can do it while sitting on the throne or want to be creative with other spots, but staying in this area is not a problem. It is up to you.” Havento did not force his opinion because he realized that the area there had already been given to the person he was talking to.
“I understand. This place is so big, I will definitely need a lot of help.” That young goddess occasionally stole glances in all directions, so Havento held back his laughter because of it. However, the man wearing all black clothes did not want to embarrass his guest, so he acted calmly.
“You can recruit pet companions from other types, such as deer. Once you have collected enough pet companions, you can change them to help in many ways, like I did with my two beloved dogs.” The first son of the couple, Lord Hetzh-the Ruler of Darkness, and the Goddess Aymenth-the Ruler of Sadness, gave advice, and Atvertha stared at the boy without blinking, making Havento stunned by the beauty of the Moon Goddess.
“I will make your suggestion. Thank you very much for helping me.” A young woman with a sharp nose did not know what else to say to the opposite sex, and the man just nodded once, then turned his face the other way. Atvertha was confused by Havento’s attitude because she thought it was strange.
The atmosphere became silent because the host had not commented, and that immortal goddess was also silent. In the midst of the silence that fell, the woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimetres, started walking to the left side, followed by two large black dogs. Havento watched the scene, but the young man remained silent as if giving Atvertha the opportunity to explore her new place.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
The space provided by Havento is simply outstanding! No wonder Nyx once asked me to marry her first brother and live in the Underworld. Well, I feel the truth in his words. It is a shame that I just met Havento. If he was not so hostile from the start, then probably… hey! Why do I even think of the strange thing like that? Even though we are not officially married, I already have a mortal guy as my mate. Focus on your plan, Atvertha! Her tiny heart rebuked the girl because she almost deviated from the original plan.
A young lady with thin eyebrows remembered something and, without further ado, turned around without hesitation. Apparently, the God of the Underworld was looking at her. “Havento, can this place be used for me and Armen to live? Sorry if my question seems rude.”
The three hundred and ten-year-old man suddenly shook his head, which made the girl’s optimism evaporate instantly. “Ordinary humans will not be able to survive in darkness for a long time. They can die because of differences in nature and time, especially in my place. Only the chosen immortal gods and goddesses can stay.”
“If my mortal man dies, will he live with me automatically?” The Queen of Witches’ curiosity began to arise, so she asked the other person another question. Havento shook his head again, which surprised Atvertha.
“No, he and you can’t live together as easily as you think. He has to go through all the same processes as all mortals: they will have a difficult journey to reach the entrance to the Underworld, and as you already know, not many make it there come here because their good deeds are very few.” Havento answered briefly, making Atvertha consider inviting her guy to live there again.
“Atvertha, instead of worrying about where to live, you would better focus on something important.” These words made the name owner speechless because he felt that nothing was wrong, let alone lacking.
“What was that? Did I miss something?”
“You have to tell Hertinoz about your situation. If he agrees, then you can bless him as soon as possible. It would be easier because you could fulfill the promises made in the agreement. After everything is finished, the second session will continue.”
“Second session? What was that for?”
Havento smiled, but it seemed like a grinner. “That second session was-”
