The Moon Goddess and Her Mate novel Chapter 3

The next day

In a forest on earth, it was still dark, because the sun had not yet appeared in the sky. A spider that was in a cave seemed to stare at the bed where there was a burly man who had scars on his head, stomach, hands, and feet lying there.-

“I have never seen or heard of, if there was a god or goddess who was so generous in saving the life of a mortal, unless the humans were people who served in the temple, such as high priest, or high priestess. Could something has happened between them? Ah, I do not have to think like that," muttered the spider, turning his attention in another direction.

The eight-legged creature was busy making a net in front of the cave, which was about to be completed, according to what the moon goddess had ordered. Not long after, the spider has managed to make a web, thus covering the target area. Spider looked satisfied, then started to jump on the wall, then walked the other way.

Thirty minutes later, slowly but surely, the fingers of the mortal male's right hand moved, although the movement was still weak. The atmosphere in the cave was quiet, because there were no other humans there, making even the slightest sound could be heard clearly. In less than two minutes, the two men's eyes opened wide. He did not seem to have said a word, as if he was still digesting what was going on.

“Where am I now?” murmured the thirty-five-year-old man.

He glanced around, trying to sit up, though it was a bit difficult to do so. A few moments later, the handsome man was able to change positions from lying to sitting. Now, the male human can observe the situation more clearly.

The scenery in the cave made the man surprised, confused and amazed at the same time. He could see many torches sticking to the walls as if someone other than him had inhabited the place. Not enough admiration disappeared. The man turned his head the other way. There was a wooden table that had a set of clean clothes, food, and drink available. “It is unbelievable. Who did all this?”

Meanwhile, a spider could be seen walking on the walls of the cave. He saw that the mortal male, who was still badly injured last night, had awakened. In fact, the man was already sitting on the bed. The spider continued to walk quickly towards the target, as if wanting to get a closer look at the human's face. When it arrived at the destination area, the eight-legged creature observed the strange man staring at the bed.

“Male mortal apparently has realized. It is a pleasant situation for me. If it is like this, my duty as soon as possible finished. Just wait for him to leave this place, then all the things that Goddess Atvertha has mentioned will be mine,” muttered the spider.

Meanwhile, the green-eyed man stood up and walked towards a table of wood. He looked at the food, as well as the drinks that were there with gratitude. “Whoever has helped me, it was a blessing in disguise for me. I am still alive now and that is unbelievable grace. Thanks to the gods and goddesses who sent unexpected help through these humans.”

"Hey, mortal!" call the spider. However, the effort was in vain, because the person did not hear such words. "I just realized that he could not answer, because only witches, shamans, high priests, high priestesses, gods, and goddesses only have the privilege of being able to listen and answer our voices."

The man who has a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall takes a drink of clean, fresh mineral water, then sips the water slowly. After completing this action, the right hand took the food, which turned out to be four pieces of bread, which were on the wooden table. He seemed to enjoy the simple dish that the moon goddess had given him, although the man did not know who had been kind enough to do so.
