The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In the secret place,

“Are you certain that you really okay?”

A woman with long black hair was still asking the same thing as if she did not believe the initial information given by her best friend. However, the interlocutor still nodded. Her face did not even show any expression, as if there was nothing to worry about at all.

“Yes, I am. Do not worry. Where were we talking about?”

A sister of Lord Havento seemed to not believe what her close friend said. She was silent for a long time because still staring at the Upper-world Goddess. Meanwhile, Atvertha had said nothing and chose to observe Nyx, who was starting to emit a dense aura of darkness.

The atmosphere became awkward because the Night Goddess had not answered the question about the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia. Nyx just raised her left hand up, and then a fruit appeared. There was something odd about the object because it was red. More precisely, the color was made of flaming fire.

“Open your palm, Atvertha.”

A woman who dislikes the sunlight finally said something, but the intonation of the voice used sounded different, so the silver-haired girl realized this. The Moon Goddess did not want to say anything. A million questions have arisen within Atvertha.

Nyx deliberately did not want to answer the question that the other person had been waiting for a long time. Meanwhile, the Upper-world Goddess did not seem to want to prolong this and was now interested in the request made by her best friend.

“Why do I have to open my palm?” asked Atvertha without further ado.

“Just do it,” Nyx replied, insisting on her opinion.

The tone of voice used still contains mystical elements. The apple remained on the same hand. It did not burn, even though it was in a blazing fire. Nyx remained reluctant to give an answer, so Atvertha became even more surprised, mixed with suspicion.

“Will my hands burn later?” Atvertha asked once more as if to confirm what her concern was.

“Then you can take a risk and find out by yourself.”

The woman who had a pair of hidden wings still behaved strangely. She still did not want to answer questions. In fact, she seemed to be deliberately giving a different answer, while smiling eerily, thus adding to the feeling of horror of them. Atvertha seemed to be observing Nyx’s every move, which was getting odder and odder in her opinion.

The girl with thin eyebrows did not want to answer. Atvertha just stared at the face of the woman who was wearing a dress made of darkness, blue and black like the night and filled with sparkling light. In less than a minute, she turned her attention to the fruit in her hand. She felt doubt to take an apple offered by the interlocutor.

“It is not funny. How can you ask me to open my palm, if it turns out that the fruit will burn my palm?”

“Do you think I make a joke with you?”

“Do you want to harm me?”

“Have I ever done anything bad to you, even at once?”

“Why will not you answer my question? You are so irritating!”

“Why do not you open your palms too? Is that too difficult to do?”

“Damn it!”

The girl who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters could not hide her irritation. The interlocutor had provoked her emotion, so the Queen of Witches uttered a curse word. Meanwhile, Nyx was getting happier, because she could push the limits of Atvertha’s patience.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Why is Nyx acting even weirder, anyway? I am hesitant to do what she asked because I can see she has changed, and maybe that was not a good sign. But, if I do not try, I will never know the result, thought the girl whom the God of War had a crush on.

A virgin lady who rarely spoke, except for important matters, began to raise her right hand, then hesitantly opened her palm. Nyx smiled widely, making her face look even more sinister. The strange fruit that was still burning with fire moved by itself and then moved to the other person. The girl felt neither pain nor heat, which made Atvertha both relieved and at the same time calm.

“What should I do now?” asked Atvertha, full of curiosity.

The sharp-nosed woman was trying her best to endure the pain that spread throughout her body and was increasingly confused by Nyx’s motives for doing such a thing to her.

“Now, rub both of your palms together,” answered Nyx, as if nothing had happened.

The virgin goddess also did what her close friend said. She also began to feel a strange sensation in both palms, namely a burning sensation. Atvertha tried to stay calm, but the feeling was still there, even worse, so the girl looked at Nyx.

“How about this? You said you never harmed me, even just once?” demanded Atvertha, annoyed.

Atvertha’s eyes suddenly turned red due to enduring the pain caused by the palms of her hands where there was an apple blazing in the fire, which was a gift from the Underworld Goddess. Nyx, who saw it, smiled and did not take the question seriously. The Moon Goddess did not moan in pain like a mortal. It is just that if Nyx saw her eye’s color; it explained everything.

“Do not worry. Stay like that. Soon, you will understand and find out.” Nyx still would not answer the question. She even deliberately said something else, which made Atvertha glare at her best friend, who liked to act strangely.

Nyx’s words proved to be true, for the burning pain disappeared by itself in less than ten seconds. The smart goddess looked at the palm of the hand and there was no wound at all. In fact, the area was shining, as if there was a source of light. Atvertha started to flip her palms, but the light did not go away.

“Why did it happen?” asked Atvertha to the point.

“Try to rub your palms again.” Nyx again ignored her friend’s question, so the resentment within the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Avtexia grew even greater. Atvertha’s eyes have not turned violet either.

“Why are you always like that? How hard for you to answer honestly?” said Atvertha, irritated.

“Then why do you always keep asking me when I ask you to do something? Would not it be better if you just did it? Do not waste your time,” Nyx said, full of confidence.

The girl who liked a mortal male had time to cast a fierce glance at the long, black-haired woman. Atvertha rubbed both her palms, which were still shining. She began to feel strange, so spontaneously stopped the action, and then reopened her palms.

The strange thing happened: two fireballs appeared in each of Atvertha’s palms. The young lady looked confused, then turned her attention to Nyx. They stared at each other for a few seconds. The atmosphere there became quiet, as well as awkward because neither of them had started a conversation yet.

“Can you explain this? Do not dodge anymore, because I dislike your bad behaviour, and I need a definite answer!”

“What do you want to know and need an explanation from me?”

“Anything, especially about the apples you gave me, and why did it even make my hands become what they are now.”

“Okay. The reason why your two palms became like that is-”
