The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In Lord Helion’s palace, in his private room, to be precise,

“I can’t believe you just kept quiet when I cut the tie with Atvertha, Hubby!” The silver-haired woman looked annoyed, and Goddess Avtexia could not hide it. A man wearing a crown on his head just shook his head because he disagreed with what the other person was saying.

“Honey, Atvertha is our daughter, even though her actions were outrageous. If we cut off family ties, then the ones who lose are ourselves.” A man who could create big winds and storms tried not to be influenced by the attitude of the opposite sex, even though Lord Helion disagreed with the actions of Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover.

“I will not open the seal inside her body. Just let Atvertha suffer and not be able to use her power to its full potential.” The Sun Goddess was determined to torture her biological daughter, so as soon as possible, her spouse showed her displeasure.

“Atvertha has chosen her path in life, so I will be the one to open the seal. If you do not want to, that is okay. I do not want to torture her.” The palace owner’s statement made the four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman widen her eyes. Goddess Avtexia wanted to scream, but she remembered that the man was her husband, so she had to respect the decision of the head of the family no matter what.

“Do you not remember that today she did a lot of things that embarrassed us, Hubby? Why do you forgive so easily? Atvertha has made us look like a crazy god and goddess couple looking everywhere for their child! Did you think about that?”

“I thought about that, but no matter how hard we force our will, the result will be the same. I choose to let her go so she can face anything outside. Atvertha had stated that she did not want to marry Toghnath, so let her be. We irresponsible anymore if she had chosen her mate.” A man who controlled the sea remained adamant in his opinion so that Goddess Avtexia became even angry when she heard it.

“Our responsibilities as parents have not been lost because Atvertha does not have a husband yet. There is still hope of asking to come back here and marry Toghnath.”

The man carrying the trident in his right hand automatically shook his head, which made his wife frown. “You have already broken ties with Atvertha, my dear. So, you can’t do it, and according to immortal law, only I can persuade her.”

“Tsk! How troublesome! I will never approve of Atvertha’s relationship with that bloody mortal! She even broke my curse by making all the tribe members become wolves every full moon, but on normal days, they still had their human form. Because of her ego, the mortals will no longer be pure.” The blue-eyed woman complained, but her husband preferred to ignore this.

A man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-seven centimeters, had a hunch, which still concerned Atvertha and the God of War. My daughter and Toghnath’s marriage had failed. He will definitely take revenge on Armen and his tribe. As an immortal god who has seen many events, especially that guy who is a war specialist, it is not impossible that Toghnath will create an army that will definitely attack the wolves. Should I tell my daughter?

The Sun Goddess stopped complaining. A woman who only had one child actually noticed her husband’s behavior, which she felt was strange, especially since Lord Helion did not seem to look at her, so Goddess Avtexia felt ignored by the opposite sex. “Why are you silent, Hubby?”

The four hundred-and-forty-year-old man recovered from his thoughts and then shook his head. “Nothing, honey.”

“What should we do now? What about the immortal gods and goddesses where we made things difficult for them by asking if Atvertha was there, and it was all caused by her own behaviour? I am so embarrassed for them, Hubby!” That beautiful woman started to grumble, but the husband seemed calm.

“I will handle that, Honey. The most important thing is that we stop all searches so that all the immortal gods and goddesses living in the Upper World do not ask about Atvertha again.” Lord Helion seemed to be making things easier, so Goddess Avtexia became even more annoyed with her forever partner.

“What do you mean? I do not get it. Do not say that you will open Atvertha’s seal, Hubby.” A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters, seemed to be trying to read her husband’s mind, even though what she thought was not necessarily true. Lord Helion smiled, then shook his head as if trying to convince Goddess Avtexia, who still looked suspicious of him.

“Do not think too much. I am tired and want to rest, Honey.” The wise man avoids his spouse’s accusations. Lord Helion turned his gaze in another direction so that the slender woman became even more prejudiced against him. The atmosphere between them became awkward because the husband and wife conversation had ended.

After a few moments of silence, a beautiful woman who did not like mortals decided to end the silence between them. “Are you sure that you want to take a rest, Hubby?”

A woman who had a small tattoo with a picture on her right arm at the top did not seem to trust her husband, especially since the man had not reacted at all, which made Goddess Avtexia worried. The room fell silent again, so the Sun Goddess did not know what to do other than to call Lord Helion in a soft tone, “Hubby?”

“Yes, Honey. I want to be alone.” After he finished saying this, the palace owner left his place and left his wife alone. The Ruler of the Seas’ actions confused Goddess Avtexia. However, the woman who could manipulate the target’s mind did not know what to do apart from staring at Lord Helion’s departure, which was increasingly invisible from her sight.

“What was wrong with my Hubby? Why was he being so strange?” Avtexia muttered, surprised. She still did not understand what had happened to Lord Helion, but the long-haired woman chose to let her husband leave, even though the goddess was very curious about where her husband was going.

Meanwhile, a man with a long silver beard had just come out of a room. As soon as possible, the guards who saw him bowed as a sign of respect for their master. However, Lord Helion continued walking and did not notice what they had done. Feelings of sadness, annoyance, and guilt had mixed together in the mind of Atvertha’s biological father.

Luckily, I did not act recklessly like my wife. Atvertha’s actions have indeed tarnished our good name, but we can’t do anything because our daughter really loves her mortal guy. I have to do something, thought Lord Helion as he continued walking in a certain direction.

Lord Helion walked down a long, quiet hallway. Goddess Avtexia’s husband passed by female servants several times, and they spontaneously paid their respects. However, the burly man seemed to ignore them and concentrated more on himself. The servants were indeed surprised because the master’s actions were not expected, but no one dared to comment.

Fifteen minutes later,

The tall man had arrived somewhere. In front of the door, there were two young men standing guard. When they were about to say hello, Lord Helion used his trident without further ado, so the door opened by itself. They can only watch without wanting to disturb their master’s activities.

When Lord Helion entered the room, the door closed by itself, and then the two guards looked at each other for a few seconds and then returned to standing in the same area as if nothing strange had happened.

The place was like a beach inside the room, Lord Helion and there was an ocean in front of it, precisely the same as on Earth. The sound of crashing waves could be heard clearly and lasted several times, which made the atmosphere even more serene. It looked dark there as if following the atmosphere on Earth.

“Gathara!” [1] Lord Helion’s voice boomed, causing the seawater to recede. Miraculously, a path emerged from the middle of the ocean as if the sea was split into two. That man started walking towards there, and no one dared to stop him.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

The longer the man carrying the trident walked, the more slowly the seawater that was parted initially moved. When Lord Helion had entered the middle of the ocean and was no longer visible, the seawater returned to normal so that there was no longer any way to enter it.

That brown-eyed man remembered his only daughter, whom he did not know where she lived. A father’s instincts aroused because he was worried about Atvertha’s safety. Lord Helion continued to walk into the sea, and there he met many animals, such as fish, squid, and crabs, who readily welcomed and paid homage to the Ruler of the Seas. This time, he did not ignore his men and nodded as a sign of accepting the respect.

No sea creature dared to block the king’s path, so anyone who passed him would move aside as soon as possible because they did not want to disturb him. A few moments later, Lord Helion arrived at a magnificent palace. Those who were there, especially those guarding the palace area, were very surprised because of the sudden arrival of an immortal god, but the silver-bearded man did not seem to mind it.

“Welcome, Your Highness. We apologise because we did not know Your Highness would be coming.” A male figure, but from the waist down, has a tail like a mermaid bowing to Lord Helion.

“Prepare my room now!”

The green-haired young man’s expression paled. He could not say anything else except, “Well… yes, Your Highness. I will prepare it now.”

That guy bowed again, then left in front of Lord Helion. The wise man went to the throne and then sat there in despair. The memory of the battle on Earth between him, Avtexia, and Toghnath against Atvertha and the three immortal gods and another goddess came back to his mind, which made the four hundred-and-forty-year-old man feel guilty towards the Moon Goddess. Still, there was resentment because the girl preferred a mortal guy to the God of War.

“Wait for me, Atvertha. Your mother may reject or terminate family relations unilaterally, but I, as a dad would never reject my own daughter.”
