The Moon Goddess and Her Mate novel Chapter 12

In a village on earth

"Hey, Armen! What happened to you?” scold someone. The burly man turned to look at him. Turns out, on the left, there was already a man who was looking at him in surprise, mixed with confusion.

"Ah. I... I am okay."

A thirty-five-year-old man answered, though his tone sounded a little stuttering. The interlocutor grew suspicious, so he looked up at the sky where nothing strange was seen there. Meanwhile, Armen was secretly grateful, because the figure of a strange girl had disappeared from sight so that no one else could see what he had seen a moment ago.

“Why are you looking up at the sky with that gaze? Is there something strange in there?” asked the black-haired man, suspiciously.

"No. Nothing strange at all. I might just have seen the wrong thing,” Armen replied, quickly.

He took another sip of red wine and acted like everything was fine. While the questioner still does not believe the information given by the target. However, the brown-eyed youth did not have enough evidence, so he immediately left that male mortal alone. Armen turned his attention to the sky, where there was only the moon and a sprinkling of stars.

Who was that weird girl? Why can he fly to the sky? I am sure she was not a human being like me. What did she want, anyway? Is that weird lady a guardian spirit of the forest? But why have not I heard stories about it from the elders here? I have to find out about her and I will try to meet her as soon as possible, thought Armen seriously.

The handsome man began to avert his eyes from the sky, then focused his attention on the bonfire. The man with sturdy jaws took another sip of the remaining red wine slowly. From time to time, Armen was seen nodding to anyone who greeted him by name. Not infrequently he smiled faintly, then went back to thinking about the girl who could fly.

“Armen, come here! Why did you just stand there all this time?” A middle-aged man called the young man, so the owner of the name turned to him.

"Yes, Dad. I am coming!”

Meanwhile, in a palace in the sky,

A slender woman seemed to have arrived at the door of a room. Wasting no more time anymore, the moon goddess as soon as possible opened the door, then went inside. The memory of that male mortal being approached by the opposite sex, even if they looked familiar, replayed in her mind.

“I was so fooled because earlier I still insisted on staying down to earth so I could meet him. Nyx was right about him. I have seen by myself how close the male mortal was to that young girl. I have to forget him from now on,” Atvertha muttered sadly.

The girl walked to the bed. After arriving there, she lay down and felt an emptiness in her heart. She tried to close her eyes, even though it was really hard. The atmosphere in the room, including around her room, was so quiet that this moment made the violet-eyed girl even sadder.

“Forget him, Atvertha. Do not put your hope on a male mortal. He was not good enough for you. He had a wife nor a fiancé and you have seen it for yourself. It is better for you to look for an immortal — a god, as your mate.” The two hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman said to herself as if trying to soothe her soul that was languishing because of love.

Atvertha wanted to pour out all the annoyance in her heart. However, the only daughter of the couple, God Helion and Goddess Atvexia could not find the right way, so the girl just left all the negative emotions stored inside her.
