The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few days later,

A husband and wife and a burly young man were on a quiet beach. The sea breeze hit the bodies of the three of them, and all three of them were carrying a relatively large basket filled with items, which looked like they were going to be given to someone. “Armen, are you sure we are in the right place?” asked a blonde woman while surviving in the mighty wind.

“I am sure that this is the place, Mom. Atvertha asked us to wait here because she and Lord Helion would later emerge from the sea,” answered the green-eyed man. He pointed forward with his chin, indicating that the place they were going to was indeed there.

“But what if it turns out-”

Before the head of the family had time to finish his words, suddenly the sea water looked strange, so that Norah and Armen, who were staring at the sea, were shocked. That slender woman widened her eyes and spontaneously said, “Look at that!”

The candidate for a Lycan King was forced to turn to the same spot and experienced the same thing as his beloved wife. Over time, the seawater seemed to recede and even split in the middle automatically, as if there was a vast power capable of making this event happen. “Armen, if you dare to betray or even have an affair with another immortal goddess, I am sure that Lord Helion will kill you without mercy. Even seawater can be divided in two, let alone you.” Lebrazht Lugthna said that without realizing it, so that young guy glanced at his father.

“Armen would never do such a cruel thing. Whatever happens, never betray your spouse, Son. Remember that you and Goddess Atvertha have overcome many obstacles to get married.” Norah also gave a message to her eldest son, which made the thirty-five-year-old man feel moved and suddenly nod in response to his mother’s advice.

“Thank you, Mom and Dad.” That was all Armen said. The Lebrazht Lugthna family was silent because the attention of the chief, Norah, and Armen was focused on the scene ahead. Meanwhile, two figures could be seen standing in the middle from the direction of the sea that had parted. They seemed reluctant to move from there, but their attention remained focused on the three humans on the beach. However, there were three male figures walking out of the sea and heading towards land.

The intelligent guy frowned because he realized that the three figures kept walking towards the location where he and his parents were standing, so this incident raised a million questions about the Moon Goddess’ future husband. Who are they, huh? Are they humans? It is impossible for mortals to live in the sea because we can only live on land there. Those must be messengers from Lord Helion, thought Armen, who continued to pay attention to the three strange figures.

Over time, the three figures became more visible. They appear like adult men around the age of thirty-eight years, and their faces are the same, only different in hair and eye color. When the three of them arrived in front of Lugthna’s family, one of the young men approached Norah’s husband, who was standing at the front. “Good afternoon, my name is Atarama. Are you Mr. Lebrazht?” asked the blonde man politely.

“Yes, that is right. My name is Lebrazht. How can I help you?” answered the hazel-eyed man, who was trying to remain calm. However, in his heart, the Crossroads Lady’s future father-in-law was worried, because he did not know who the person who asked him was. Norah and Armen also experienced the same uncertainty as Lebrazht but did not dare to say anything.

“Lord Helion sent us to take you, Lady Norah, and Lord Armen into the palace.” The young man explained politely so Lebrazht’s doubts disappeared a little. However, there were two questions that emerged in the middle-aged man’s mind, so he had to ask the other person as soon as possible.

“Fine, but we are bringing offerings to Lord Helion. Will all this stuff be safe?” The man who passed on his good looks to his eldest son showed him the basket he was carrying. Lebrazht did not forget to turn to his wife and Armen, who were also taking the same object. The three male envoys of Lord Helion looked at the same thing, then Atarama seemed to understand what Lord Helion’s guest had asked, so he nodded.

“Do not worry, sir. All these items will remain safe and will not be damaged.” That young man who lived in the sea tried to calm the silver-haired man.

“One last question: how can my family and I breathe underwater? Do we have to do something like, let’s say, a spell, or do you have your own trick?”

“You can all breathe normally, and we do not have any tricks for that. When you are all about to enter the water, remember one thing: do not be panic and stay focused. If you have any doubts or fears, it must be removed immediately because you could sink later.” The Lebrazht Lugthna family listened carefully, and then the three nodded simultaneously.

“Let’s go into the ocean, Mr. and Mrs. Lugthna. Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia have awaited the arrival of the three of you.” The handsome young man invited the three guests of the Lord of the Seas to follow him to their destination without further ado.

“Okay, thank you.”

Not long after, Lebrazht, Norah, and Armen followed the three young men who were envoys from Lord Helion. They still felt the wind hitting their bodies and hair, but the head of the Lugthna family tried hard to get rid of all anxiety so that he was not surprised to have difficulty breathing. Meanwhile, an immortal goddess and her father observed what was happening on land with uncertain feelings.

“Are you looking forward to getting married to your mortal guy, Princess?” This question made the violet-eyed woman look to the right. Apparently, his father was looking at her, smiling gently. The Moon Goddess nodded because that was how she felt.

“You are right, Dad. I really can’t wait to be with Armen. Thank you very much for your help so far. Will Dad invite many immortal gods and goddesses to my wedding, including Lord Athalamaya, Goddess Tathatea, Mom, and Toghnath?” Lord Helion felt sad when he heard his daughter call Goddess Avtexia the same name as ‘Mom’. Even though his wife had broken off relations with Atvertha.

“Yes, Princess. I will still invite them, but if your mom and Toghnath do not want to come, then do not be sad. The most important thing is that you and Armen live happily in your own realm.” A man wearing a crown on his head tried to cheer up Atvertha, who would be soon marry a young man of her choice.

“I will try not to be sad, Dad. I understand if Mom does not want to attend the event on my wedding day. What should I do at that time, Dad? Do I have to say an oath, or is there something else? I am nervous.” A silver-haired girl asked seriously, which made the man carrying the trident in his right hand smile again.

“Do not think about it. Now, we have to focus on meeting the Armen family. They will be arriving soon.” Lord Helion said while turning his head to the right side where three envoys of the Lord of the Seas were seen with three humans carrying baskets. Atvertha smiled because she had been waiting for their presence.

“Should we go into the palace or wait for them here, Dad? I am so nervous.” The virgin goddess did look nervous, so the wise man shook his head.

“Do not be nervous. We are still standing here, as I told you before.”

The Queen of Witches and Lord Helion fell silent again while observing the movements of the three mortals who were getting closer and closer to them. Meanwhile, the charismatic young man saw that on the left and right sides of the road, there was still seawater and so many soldiers who had human heads just like him from the waist up. However, from the core down, there did not have legs at all, so there was only a tail. They carried spears and stood in an orderly manner as if welcoming Armen and his parents.

I have never seen such amazing things from childhood to adulthood. It turns out that life in the sea is exciting and unique. If I had never met my lady before, then surely Mom, Dad, and I would never have come here, let alone been allowed to go to Lord Helion’s palace. All of this is like a dream, and not all mortals can experience it, thought the young man, who had a height of one hundred and ninety-two centimeters tall, as he continued walking towards his destination. Armen was able to find the figures of Atvertha and her father, who looked dashing and dignified from a distance of seventy meters.

A few moments later, Lebrazht, Norah, and Armen were near the Lord of the Seas. The old mortal guy tried not to look afraid or even tremble, but Lord Helion’s authority was so great that the husband and wife’s courage sank, too. Atarama and two other young men who came from the sea paid their respects to their king, and when they finished, Atarama said to Goddess Atvertha’s father, “Your Majesty, the three guests from the land have arrived.”

A man who could make solid winds and rain nodded and said, “Thank you.” Lord Helion began to focus on Lebrazht, Norah, and Armen, who were waiting for comments from the host.

“Let us enter my palace, the Lebrazht Lugthna family.”

The future Lycan King, along with his beloved wife and their eldest son, paid their respects. When they finished doing so, Lebrazht said, “Thank you for your invitation to my family, Lord Helion.”
