The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later,

A slender girl appeared out of a room. Beside the Goddess was a bottle filled with ink, then a quill, and some parchments that flew after the young lady. She walked slowly, with a heart filled with joy.

I had to find a way to come down to earth again without anyone knowing, including Mom and Dad and the guards at the palace. I have to meet my male mortal, so we can get acquainted soon, even though he does not have a lover or wife yet, so I must take advantage of this opportunity, thought the Moon Goddess, who still remembered what that mortal guy said.

In the middle of the road, a woman who had the same face as her as soon as possible stopped walking, then frowned as if she saw a distinct figure. Without hesitation, she called out to the girl, “Atvertha.”

The name’s owner was stunned, then turned to the person who had called her. At a distance of twenty meters, there was an utterly familiar woman staring with high curiosity and deep suspicion at her at the same time.

“Mom,” Atvertha said awkwardly.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

“Where do you want to go?” the mother asked her daughter without further ado.

“I want to go to the library, Mom,” Atvertha answered honestly.

“Are you sure? Did not you just say that when your dad and I called, you said you wanted to study in your room?” The Sun Goddess asked further. The wife of God Helion could not believe it if now her own daughter had voluntarily left her room for reasons that made little sense in her judgment.

“Yes, I am sure, Mom. I really wanted to study there, but when I checked my notes, it turned out that the contents were incomplete, so it was better to go to the library and look for books that matched what I wanted.” The smart girl answered her mother’s question straightforwardly as if she wanted to make the other person not suspicious of her action.

“What kind of book are you looking for?” Goddess Avtexia felt increasingly awkward, so she did not give up asking more questions. Meanwhile, her daughter, who had fallen in love with a male mortal, continued acting naturally and showed no signs of fear or hesitation to her.

“I need a book that contains ingredients for food, which can be used as a support tool when chanting spells, or when making potions.” A two hundred-and-seventy-year-old girl answered smoothly so that the answer that was put forward also reduced the suspicion from her mom.

“If you feel that you lack books as a reference for supporting lessons, then do not act like you can do it by yourself! Do not lock yourself in your room as if you have mastered all the knowledge that I have given you.” Goddess Avtexia quipped her daughter.

That moment hurt the girl’s heart. However, Atvertha remained natural, which made the blue-eyed woman unsuspecting.

“Then you just go there. I will follow you.”

“Yes, Mom.”

That young goddess nodded once as if paying homage to her mom. After that, she walked back to her destination. The atmosphere was quiet again because the conversation there had ended. However, this situation raised a million questions in the mind of the Sun Goddess because she was still observing her daughter’s actions.

Why did Atvertha change her mind so quickly, huh? Is she planning something? But what my daughter said did make sense. Could it be… ah, no way! But it is better to be on guard while gathering evidence if anything suspicious happens to her, thought the Goddess, who hated the darkness.

After a few moments later, inside the library

“As a Goddess who will be titled the Queen of Witches, you must know about everything, including strong intentions, is one of the driving forces for a witch to cast a spell or do witchcraft. Example: if there is someone, both male and female, who hates or loves other people, then if they cast a spell spontaneously, the energy generated is greater, so the percentage of success of what that person does is more than ninety percent.”

A woman who was still young, at the age of four hundred and twenty years, was seen teaching in front of the class. Her face looked so severe. Meanwhile, another girl was paying close attention to the explanation. The situation in that place was silent because there was no question-and-answer session between them.

“Why do I say the success rate is over ninety percent? Because magick requires a powerful push from oneself, then cooperates with natural forces, resulting in the desired result being achieved immediately. In this case, a witch does not need to wait until the full moon or new moon arrives because the power generated is already very large.”

Goddess Avtexia paused for a moment, and then she raised both hands. Afterward, something strange appeared there; In both palms, a scene appeared, which was in accordance with the woman who could manipulate the mind described that situation very well. Atvertha, who witnessed it all, became very interested because she could see examples visually.

“As you see here, an unyielding determination must emerge from within a person so that when the spell is spoken right on the target. However, not all witches can be like that because some also prefer to do witchcraft at a scheduled time, such as wanting to do a blessing, hex, or curse at a full moon, so she/he rarely cast spells spontaneously.”

That smart lady, as soon as possible, took notes on a blank parchment using a quill that had been dipped in ink. Meanwhile, God Helion’s wife also covered her palms, so the visualization that was deliberately shown to her only daughter without further ado disappeared. She looked at Atvertha, who was still writing on the parchment, with a severe expression.

“Any questions so far?” asked Goddess Avtexia.

A woman whose eyes turned red when angry was using a formal tone of voice because she still acted as a teacher in the classroom. On the other hand, the interlocutor could say nothing at the moment because she was still busy with her original activities as if all attention was devoted to it. Goddess Avtexia kept her daughter in this condition and did not want to interrupt her.

In less than a minute, the violet-eyed girl finished taking notes, then looked at her mother, who had been observing all her actions. Goddess Avtexia watched with an expressionless gaze, causing Atvertha to feel guilty, even though her mother had not scolded her openly.

“I am sorry, I just finished writing, Mom,” Atvertha replied politely.

A young lady was trying to break the ice between them. Goddess Avtexia only nodded in response. She seemed to wait for the student – her biological daughter, to say more, and Atvertha felt that moment. “As for questions, I have a few questions, Mom. Do you mind if I tell you all, or do you prefer to say it one by one?”

“You can mention them one by one, and I will answer your question.” Goddess Avtexia gave her permission, which relieved the young Goddesses who still lacked experience, especially those related to witches.

“Thank you for the opportunity given to me. For the first question, if a witch feels a strong urge, whether it be feelings of anger, hatred, or deep love, she/he immediately performs magickal actions spontaneously, as mentioned earlier. Still, all done in the afternoon or evening, whether does not affect the timing of the reign of the Sun Goddess herself?”

“No. The spells cast by a witch or a group of witches will not interfere with my reign of time. As the Sun Goddess, I have no problem with that because spells are a part of witchcraft where it all uses natural energy.”

“Why should not that be a problem, Mom? Is not the time difference very important?”

“They can do spontaneous spells at any time because only the witch knows when the urge to do so is. It is true that hex, curse, blessing, and others are better done at night, especially when it coincides with the full moon or new moon. However, those are all exceptions because the magick done must happen suddenly, with very strong determination.”

“If what they are doing works, is there an antidote?”

“All diseases have an antidote, including black magick. But it all depends on the victim. If the target were a bloody mortal, then that stupid human would not survive for sure. If the target is a fellow witch, then she/he can treat himself/herself or seek help from the Elder Witch, a High Priest, and a High Priestess.”

Goddess Avtexia subconsciously pressed the word ‘a bloody mortal’ while answering her daughter’s question so that such an event stunned Atvertha, and her heart beat faster than usual. The atmosphere was silent for a while because the teacher seemed to be waiting for further questions from the other person. The Moon Goddess thought back to a handsome man who came from the Earth, so the longing for the opposite sex also appeared by itself. However, the girl tried to neutralize the situation just to avoid her mother’s suspicion.

“Ahem… pardon me, Mom. What if something happened… something fatal?” Atvertha asked again. However, she stammered a little, so Goddess Avtexia already felt something odd about her daughter.

“Can you explain with that ‘something fatal’?” Goddess Avtexia fishing rod. She deliberately asked like that because she saw both Atvertha’s cheeks blushing without any apparent reason.

“That means-”
