The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

Inside a library,

A slender woman seemed to be standing in her usual place while the young lady was already sitting on a chair and looking at Goddess Avtexia. The Sun Goddess looked still very angry, but she tried not to give vent to the anger that had been torturing her. Seconds by seconds seemed slow for Atvertha because the girl still could not find what caused her mother to be angry with her.

“Well, starting today, I will teach you so many lessons. If you refuse, then all the power that is in you, will be permanently revoked. At this moment, you do not have any choice.” Lord Helion’s wife said slowly, looking intently at her biological daughter. The virgin did not dare to answer. However, she felt intimidated by these words, even though Atvertha did not express them openly.

The atmosphere in the place suddenly turned scary. However, the violet-eyed girl tried hard to act normal, even though the girl felt increasingly strange, and she could only guess in her heart for fear of the other person’s reaction. Goddess Avtexia’s gaze was terrible, as if she wanted to devour Atvertha alive, and showed no mercy at all.

“You have learned quite a lot, but it turns out that I guess you are all still lacking of the knowledge. I want you to study harder and master all things without exception. No more free time because we, your dad and I, take everything you have learned seriously.” Goddess Avtexia’s right hand clenched into a fist, and this moment did not escape Atvertha’s attention. That girl pretended not to see the incident, as if she wanted to avoid trouble that might occur if she had the guts to ask her mother about it.

What happened to Mom? Did something make her angry, but I do not know about it? Why do I feel that there is something she is hiding? Ah, maybe it is only my feeling. I hope all is well because sooner or later, my parents must know about my beloved man, hoped Atvertha, who still had a severe expression.

“The moon has a strong influence on witches. Witches here apply to all mortals with magick powers, both men and women. You may not discriminate between mentions, even though they are different.” The four-hundred-and-twenty-year-old woman began teaching, and the girl listened intently.

“Do not be fooled by the mortal nonsense among them, both witches and non-witches, that differentiates witches solely based on gender. It is all sheer nonsense. Men who master magick deserve to be called witches and not warlocks. This term only applies to men who were deliberately abandoned by the coven, for various reasons, one of which is betrayal.” The Sun Goddess deliberately emphasized the end of the word, so Atvertha was stunned by it, but the sweet girl still listened carefully to every word the teacher said.

“As the Queen of Witches, you are strictly prohibited from discriminating against all of your followers. Remember, apart from you, some many gods and goddesses exist and many mortals also worship them and even get magical powers from them. Few of them are worship several gods and goddesses at once and take refuge under them. That is not surprising, because humans are free to choose where to go, but that does not apply to us. You are forbidden from having a closer relationship with that mortal, because your positions are unequal.” The woman who hated darkness deliberately smirks at her biological daughter while saying the last sentence. Atvertha was again taken aback because she had not expected such a reaction from the Ruler of the Sun.

“Witches can use their powers obtained from you or from other gods or goddesses when performing rituals, or it can be done separately. For example, he or she deliberately performs a ritual to send a hex or curse someone, after which the same witches can perform almost the same action, but with a different purpose, such as asking for a blessing or love spell on another god or goddess. It is permissible.”

Goddess Avtexia started to move to the girl’s right side. She raised both hands, then rubbed gently for a few moments. This moment also did not escape Atvertha’s attention. The woman with thin eyebrows wanted to know what the teacher wanted to do and felt that the other person’s anger was starting to decrease, but she did not want to speculate further about that.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Not long after, Goddess Avtexia opened her palms. There was a visual of a male witch wearing all black performing a ritual. The girl could see the male witch in a circle with a large star in which white candles were attached in all corners of the image.

“Watch this carefully, the Moon Goddess. You will need it.” Goddess Avtexia told Atvertha, even though she did not want to look at the other person on purpose.

“Yes, Mom,” Atvertha said obediently.

The young lady was indeed a little surprised when she heard her mother call her name, but instead, she used the title meant for Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover. The girl looked again at what was in Goddess Avtexia’s palm. However, the visualization grew bigger and bigger, even though it was not as big as herself, so Atvertha could clearly see what the male witch was doing.

That male witch seemed to be concentrating towards the front as if she could not see the presence of Goddess Atvertha nor Goddess Avtexia. In the guy’s left hand was a black staff, drawing the girl’s attention. The same hand rose, then stretched forward. Atvertha could feel such a strong grudge that she could predict what would happen to that witch later.

“I sent a death curse on Edward Burlington. I wanted to see you die horribly; your body was torn to pieces by wild beasts and the news of your death reached me. This curse fell not only on you, but also on your entire family. I wanted death to overtake them suddenly, even in such an unexpected moment, that none of them survived. I asked the Queen of Witches, Goddess Avtexia, to stand up for me and grant my wish. As I will, so mote it be!”

After saying that, a red light came out from the staff held by the male witch. As soon as possible, the light shot away, then fixed on the Goddess, the Ruler of the Sun. The object stopped in front of the Goddess Avtexia, even though there was a slight distance between them, which was one meter. A woman with a small tattoo on her right arm at the top smiled when she heard that witch’s voice resounding, which was carried by that light.

“I grant your wishes, Mathias Devourt.”

Without further ado, the light disappeared from their view, arousing the wallflower girl’s curiosity. However, a woman with natural pink thin lips did not dare to ask this directly. A sinister grin returned to Goddess Avtexia’s face. As soon as possible, she returned to pay attention to the male witch who was already sitting. Atvertha also turned her attention to the original object.

The young man, who looked in his thirties, had his eyes closed. I was not surprised by the ritual shown earlier, but why did Mom even agree to the curse done by Mathias? How did Mom find out his full name? What is the man going to do? Thought Atvertha, who was still watching the movements of that male witch who had not moved from that position.

The green-eyed man opened his eyes and took a bowl of fruit placed outside the star-shaped circle. Once it was in his hands, Mathias raised his hands above his head, saying, “I invoke the Goddess Celeste, who presides over luck and blessings. O Goddess, grant me happiness and good luck in all my work. May this offering be accepted by the Goddess.”

Slowly but surely, a woman with long blonde hair appeared outside the circle with a star. That strange lady turned to Goddess Avtexia and Atvertha. “Why are you even peeking at Mathias’ activities and showing them to the other goddess? Have you become a goddess who likes to interfere without being asked?”

Goddess Avtexia smiled broadly. She did not seem angry with the accusatory tone of the question. “Do not be prejudiced, Celeste. I was just showing Atvertha how a witch, in this case, a male witch, can perform rituals to different gods and goddesses. Do not worry. I will not bother you nor your follower.”

The orange-eyed girl seemed uninterested in the Sun Goddess’ answer. Instead, she deliberately looked directly at Mathias, who was still in the same position. “When you have finished showing what happened to your student, then you should immediately close the visuals in this place. It is my turn now, and I do not want any disturbance while working with a witch who seek my help.”

“Sure, Celeste. Thank you.”

Before the visual about the male witch was closed, Goddess Avtexia quickly turned to Atvertha. She watched the sharp-nosed girl with a look that was difficult to decipher. Atvertha wanted to ask something with the teacher. However, for some reason, that pale-faced virgin chose to remain silent because she did not want to cause anything to make her mother angry. Meanwhile, Goddess Celeste remained focused on Mathias, who was still faithfully holding the bowl. She was still waiting for Goddess Avtexia to close the visualization.

“Do you have any questions so far, the Moon Goddess? Hurry up, because time is running out and we do not have more.”

“I-”
