The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

“Oh, my-”

A young girl could not hide her shock because what she was witnessing really shook her heart. Meanwhile, the immortal god who stood near her side just smiled as if he was waiting for a reaction from the opposite sex, and it turned out that what was expected came true.

“This… is this really… real?”

A goddess who really liked a male mortal seemed unable to finish her words. The only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia, now seemed to shake her head several times, as if she wanted to get rid of what she was still seeing until now. The opposite sex felt different things because he wanted to know what Atvertha felt.

“My Lady, you are witnessing what they wrote on the door, ‘The Three First Chamber, where all adventure originates and will keep you hooked!’ If you still remember, this sentence surely existed before we entered here. Do you like this place?” asked Lord Toghnath, smiling smugly.

“Wow. It is unbelievable,” Atvertha replied, amazed.

The Moon Goddess seemed to be at a loss for words, so she did not say another sentence. Meanwhile, the amber-eyed man continued to observe the girl he adored without blinking at all. Toghnath smiled in amusement because Atvertha was still standing in the same place as if she had forgotten to enter The Three First Chamber, which was a part of The Heavenly Library. The atmosphere there was silent because there was no sound at all.

“Honey, you better get in soon, so I can be there too.”

The words from the interlocutor had awakened the slender girl. He wanted to step forward, but Atvertha was still fascinated by the sight in front of her, so that cunning man took advantage of the opportunity and, as soon as possible, grabbed the fingers of that beautiful virgin’s right hand. Such events occurred easily and with no resistance at all from Atvertha. A smirk appeared on Toghnath’s face, but that moment lasted only three seconds, then vanished in an instant.

Lord Toghnath walked in first, followed by Atvertha, who remained in awe of the scene. When they entered, that door closed by itself, then just disappeared. Now, the two of them were standing in the middle of a road that forks into three, where there was a signpost at each place, making it confusing for visitors.

On the left was the inscription “The River Library. A place where you can adventure!” then, in the middle, it was written, “The Ocean Library. If you are already here, then you definitely will not want to go home!”, afterward on the right side, they printed a sentence on the direction sign, “The Secret Place. Come and join me here!”

“Well, which place would you like to enter, dear? As the name implies, in The First Three Chambers, you can see and read books at the same time in three different places, but still in the same room.” The well-built man again said something to the girl who was thinking about where to choose to go, so Atvertha, who heard this, turned her attention to the interlocutor.

“If I choose one later, and I feel dissatisfied, can we come back here later so I can determine another place to enter?” The young lady who was to become Queen of Witches did not answer the question of the opposite sex but instead asked another question, causing Lord Toghnath to smile again.

“Of course, we can. All you have to do is tell me, so I will bring us to go back here.”

The three-hundred-year-old God happily answered Atvertha’s questions, so the smart lady no longer asked him questions and looked back at the room with a signboard. The three areas were indeed wide open, aka there were no doors, so they could vaguely see the atmosphere in each place from the outside because a fairly thick white fog covered them.

What’s in those three places, huh? I am being curious. Is it possible that there is a trap? Ah, how could it be like that? Could it be that they deliberately designed The Heavenly Library to confuse visitors? But, if that’s the case, then there can’t be so many families of gods and goddesses coming here, Atvertha monologued to herself inwardly.

“Okay. If so, which room would you prefer to enter first, dear? I am waiting for you.” Lord Toghnath again reminded the woman he adored to make a decision, so Atvertha spontaneously pointed to the right in response to the question.

“Are you sure you want to enter The Secret Place?”

“Yes, I am sure. One hundred percent.”

“Okay. Let’s go inside!”

That man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-five centimeters tall, smiled again, then they walked towards the location that the girl with long silver hair had chosen. When they arrived in front of it, a light came out from both the right palms of the God of War and The Crossroads Goddess, which caused the mist to fade slowly, then completely vanish.

“Wow.”

That one word came again from Atvertha’s lips because the sights amazed her. The room was so big, then so many shelves filled with books. They could see several statues of women wearing white dresses and holding two books. These objects were placed at various angles. There was also a mirror, most of which was placed on the statue’s right side.

“How is it? Do you like being here? There is no need to rush into making a choice, as there are still plenty of rooms to explore.” The man who had a fire and scorpion tattoo on his back deliberately asked a new question. However, Atvertha did not answer at all and chose to explore the place.

The God of War could only understand this situation while looking at the situation in that place. The atmosphere was so quiet, not even the librarian was visible, that it raised a million questions in the extrovert man.

“Why is it so quiet in here, huh? Is this area really rarely chosen by visitors?”

The smart girl who did not hear Toghnath’s muttering chose the area she had chosen. Upon closer inspection, it turned out that several pillars were there. However, there were pictures of strange animals engraved on them, as if they were purposely made to wrap around the pillars. Not to forget that many tables and benches made of teakwood made Atvertha want to sit there and read a book in peace.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Because of the mounting curiosity, Atvertha subconsciously let go of Toghnath’s hand, then stepped to one side of the pillar just to check further. The man was surprised at first, so he then frowned. However, after seeing what the wallflower lady was doing, Toghnath just let it be.

When the slender woman had arrived at one pillar on the left, not far from the stairs, to be precise, Atvertha heard faintly from the stairs. There were some sounds as if there were other visitors there. She spontaneously turned to that part. Apparently, there was no one.

When Atvertha deliberately looked around, wanting to find the source of the sound, the girl with thin eyebrows felt even more strange because, in that place, there was no one except herself and only Lord Toghnath.

“Why did the voices just disappear? I was sure that I heard something earlier. It seemed like there were several immortal gods and goddesses chatting close to me. But where are they now? Why did I find nothing here?” muttered Atvertha, full of curiosity. The young lady was still staring in all directions.

At first glance, the situation in the Secret Place looked fine. However, the sounds suddenly disappear, plus the mysterious aura emanating from the place, has made the atmosphere even more strange. Atvertha now focused on the tall shelves full of thick books as if tempting this girl to take one and read it quickly.

“It is better now to start taking a book, then begin to read. If later this place starts to feel boring, then I will ask that idiot to take me to another place,” said the virgin goddess. She walked over to the shelves full of books.

When the Moon Goddess glanced at the shelves, a light was suddenly seen coming from a book, so the girl realized this. Without wasting time, Atvertha quickly headed there, then upon arriving, she, as soon as possible, took a book with a silver cover that still gave off a bright light.

“The Book of Destiny. If you are the chosen one, then this book will show anything and it will change your entire life! Well, it sounds interesting.”

Before Atvertha had time to open a page of the book, suddenly, the object Atvertha was holding opened by itself, displaying a random page. That moment confused the girl, but the young lady turned her focus on that book, then read carefully what was written there.

Greetings from me, Goddess Atvertha! I hope you enjoy this place. If you find this book, then you can take it for free. I know you are in love with a male mortal named Armen. But how about your parents? Did they know about him?

Atvertha spontaneously widened her eyes, closing the book with a bang. That loud sound was making the God of War turn his attention toward the source of the sound.

“Honey, are you okay? What happened?” asked Lord Toghnath, who was feeling worried.

“It is okay. Nothing. I just accidentally dropped a book,” Atvertha replied spontaneously.

“Alright. Are you hurt? Do you need my help?”

“No, I did not hurt. If I need your help, I will tell you.”

“Okay.”

The atmosphere was quiet again because the interlocutor began to continue the activity that was delayed. Meanwhile, the slender girl stared in horror at the silver-covered book that was still in her hand. She seemed unable to believe what she had just read.

“Shit! How did this book know about me and my special one? What the fuck!”
