The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

In a room in the Underworld,

A man with black hair seemed to be silent and just observing the face of the opposite sex, while the woman with a slender body had not said anything, as if waiting for a comment from the host. “So, you had difficulty answering all those questions and have not been forgiven by Lord Helion?” A baritone voice was heard, and the immortal goddess nodded as soon as possible.

“That was true. Was the problem I am experiencing a problem for Hertinoz?” The virgin goddess waited for her interlocutor’s approval. The three-hundred-and-ten-year-old man nodded once, so this action relieved Atvertha’s heart. Havento’s feelings were uncertain, but the Lord of the Underworld remained calm as if nothing strange had happened to him.

“In my opinion, you must continue to carry out the agreement. We have done what is obligatory. Now it is your turn.” Havento still displayed a tense aura, and the young lady thought the same thing as the young man.

“Okay. I will do it. When do you want me to bless Hertinoz? I am ready whenever you want me to do it.” A young woman with long, silver hair seemed to want to complete her tasks one by one. Havento was silent for a while as if he was thinking about what kind of answer to give to the Moon Goddess.

“In a few hours, Hertinoz will come to my place. When he is ready, then I will send a messenger here.” The man wearing all black had given his decision. The violet-eyed girl nodded again because her problem had found the best solution.

“Thank you, Havento.” Atvertha thought again about getting an apology from her father and getting his blessing to marry her mortal man. Meanwhile, an immortal god who was sitting not far from the girl continued to monitor her movements.

“You are welcome.” Havento continued to stare at the girl he loved. He did not even take his attention away from her. Atvertha was not suspicious at all because she thought that what that man did was ordinary. The atmosphere between them was silent for a moment, but the young immortal god had an idea, so he wanted to express it directly to his guest.

“I am going back to my place. Would you wait here or come with me, or do you want to go to Nyx’s place?” Havento offered three options, which made that pretty girl a little confused.

“If I come with you, won’t it be a bother? Don’t you have to work?” A pale white woman felt embarrassed by the young man’s first offer. Havento still wore a flat expression so that Atvertha did not know what was in his heart.

“No, you do not disturb me. I have given you the key to enter the Underworld; at least you know what will happen here. In the future, you will try all the Lycan Kings who have successfully gone through the first trial process by Lord Athalamaya after they died. You are also the one who determines whether they are worthy of coming to the Underworld or whether they will receive punishment from you first.” The burly man explained in outline about the first offer so that the goddess he was talking to could understand everything he said.

The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia tried to digest the narrative of the opposite sex. Havento looked back at Atvertha, and she did not seem bored with her activities. “You were right. Can I come with you so that one day I will know the flow of judgment in the Underworld?”

“Yes, you can follow me. Do you want to bring along the five big dogs faithfully waiting for you at the door?” Havento remembered the wolf spirits who had changed form and deliberately asked this to find out the answer from Armen Faustus Lugthna’s future wife. Atvertha thought back to them, then seemed to be considering something before giving a response to the god she was talking to.

“I will just bring two dogs. I will let them guard the rest here so that if anyone comes looking for me, they can tell me.” Atvertha answered Havento’s question, so the young man just accepted the decision without wanting to argue.

“Okay, if you say so. Let’s go!” A man, who had a height of two meters, got up, and Atvertha followed his actions. The girl put the Book of Destiny on the bed and then walked out of the room. When the two gods and goddesses had left the room, the big dogs that had been on guard all this time looked towards the door. They approached the Moon Goddess without further ado while shaking their tails.

A woman with a sharp nose recognized a dog standing at the front. Nyx’s first brother also observed what was happening there without commenting. “Datzha. I will go with Lord Havento. I need you and another dog to accompany me. The rest can guard the door so that if there are guests, they can provide information about my whereabouts.”

“Yes, the Moon Goddess.” Datzha looked back and saw a dog at the back. The dog’s gaze seemed sparkling as if hoping to be invited. Meanwhile, Atvertha and Havento were waiting for Beta’s decision, who had been appointed the goddess’s pet companion.

“Geztha. You come with me.” The dog whose name had been mentioned came forward. He felt happy because he had been invited by Datzha. When Getzha was standing on Beta’s left side, Atvertha observed the expressions of the remaining dogs. They seemed to be harbouring disappointment, even though they did not express it openly.

I have to do something so the other dogs will not be jealous. They have become my pet companion, so it has to be instilled from the start that whoever stays is as important as those who come with me, thought Atvertha, while paying attention to the expressions of the three other dogs in front of her.

“Thank you, Datzha. To all my pet companions, listen to me.” When the Crossroads Lady said those words, the attention of the five dogs immediately focused on her. Havento did not interfere, as if he already knew what the opposite sex was trying to say.

“If I go somewhere and only bring two or three dogs from my pet companion, those who stay there remain an important part. You maintain security and carry important messages, not only for me but to anyone who is looking for me.” The violet-eyed woman observed the expressions of the five dogs present, and she could feel the changes in the faces of the three dogs who had to guard her room.

“Those of you who stay must carry out all your duties as well as possible. When I come back, do not forget to give me a report about the situation while I was away and whether an immortal god or goddess came here. Do you understand?” Atvertha asked the three dogs. The intonation of the voice sounded typical, but her pet companion felt something different.

“Yes, we understand, the Moon Goddess. We will carry out your orders with full responsibility!” The three dogs responded simultaneously. Meanwhile, Datzha felt relieved because his men had done the right thing.

“Good. I am waiting for your report after my business is finished.” After saying these words, the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman turned her gaze to Lord Havento, who had been waiting for her.

“Come on, let’s go, Havento.” Atvertha used immortal language that only they could understand, but the man had not yet walked, so the woman who could see in the dark was surprised.

“Why do you feel the need to say things like that to your pet companion? You do not need to explain anything. It is their job to obey your orders.” A man who was not good at seducing women finally started to have the courage to ask the opposite sex about the actions that the girl had done.

“I did that on purpose, to prevent feelings of envy or revenge. After all, they come from wolf spirits. So, there must be some animal instincts left. They even deliberately changed their form to help me without being asked. I should have appreciated their sacrifice and loyalty.” Atvertha answered all the man’s questions. Havento did not prolong the conversation and turned his gaze in another direction. A woman who did not like flirtatious men could only wait for comments from the god she was talking to.

“Follow me.” That was all Havento said. The beautiful girl just nodded, even though the young man couldn’t see her actions. Without further ado, she walked behind the Lord of the Underworld along with Datzha and Geztha. Meanwhile, the three other big black dogs could only watch them leave, and when the Moon Goddess was no longer visible, as soon as possible stood guard in front of the door.

“Is the place you will show me far from here, Havento?” Atvertha asked, getting inspired when thinking about their conversation while still in the room.

A young man who had two three-headed dogs did hear the question because he was holding back the nervousness hidden in his heart. “You will find out later, Atvertha,” Havento answered after ten seconds of silence. That guy continued walking so he could divert the feeling of anxiety that was getting stronger.

“Okay.” Atvertha did not ask the same thing because she already felt a strange change in the attitude of the opposite sex in her view.

Havento led in front while Atvertha and two dogs walked behind. The air there was freezing, but this was not a problem for that immortal goddess. Not long after, they arrived at a dark alley that looked different from the others. The quiet man stopped walking as if he had forgotten something. However, this action did not scare the girl. He did the same behaviour, and the two dogs acted the same way while being on guard.
