The Moon Goddess and Her Mate

A few moments later

A slender girl appeared out of a room. Beside the goddess, there was indeed a bottle filled with ink, then a quill, along with some parchments that flew after the young lady. She walked slowly, with a heart filled with joy.

I had to find a way, so I could come down to earth again, without anyone knowing, including mom and dad, and the guards at the palace. I have to meet my male mortal, so we can get acquainted soon, even though he does not have a lover or wife yet, so I must take advantage of this opportunity, thought the Moon Goddess, who still remembered what a male mortal said.

In the middle of the road, a woman who had the same face as her as soon as possible stopped walking, then frowned as if she saw a distinct figure. Without hesitation, she called out to the girl, "Atvertha."

The name's owner was stunned, then turned to the person who had called her. At a distance of twenty meters, there is a woman who is completely familiar, is staring with curiosity, and there is a deep suspicion at the same time. "Mom," Atvertha said awkwardly.

"Where do you want to go?" the mother asked her daughter without further ado.

"I want to go to the library, Mom," Atvertha answered honestly.

"Are you sure? Did not you just say that when your dad and I called, you said you wanted to study in your room?" The Sun Goddess asked further. The wife of God Helion could not believe it if now her own daughter had voluntarily left her room for reasons that made little sense in her judgment.

"Yes, I am sure, Mom. I really wanted to study there, but when I checked my notes, it turned out that the contents were incomplete, so it was better to go to the library and look for books that matched what I wanted." The smart girl answered her mother's question straightforwardly, as if she wanted to make the other person not be suspicious of her action.

"What kind of book are you looking for?" Goddess Atvexia felt more and more awkward, so she did not give up asking more questions. Meanwhile, her daughter, who had fallen in love with a male mortal, continued to act naturally and showed no signs of fear or hesitation at all.

"I need a book that contains ingredients for food, which can be used as a support tool when chanting spells, or when making potions." A two hundred-and-seventy-year-old girl answered smoothly so that the answer that was put forward also reduced the suspicion from her

mom.

"If you feel that you lack books as a reference for supporting lessons, then do not act like you can do it by yourself! Do not lock yourself in your room as if you have mastered all the knowledge I have given you." Goddess Atvexia quipped her daughter.

That moment hurt the girl's heart. However, Atvertha remained natural, which made the blue-eyed woman unsuspecting.

"Then you just go there. I will follow you."

"Yes, Mom."

That young goddess nodded once as if paying homage to her mom. After that, she walked back to her destination. The atmosphere was quiet again because the conversation there had ended. However, this situation raised a million questions in the mind of the Sun Goddess, because she was still observing her daughter's actions.

Why did Atvertha change her mind so quickly, huh? Is he planning something? But what my daughter said did make sense. Could it be... ah, no way! But it is better to be on guard while gathering evidence if anything suspicious happens to her, thought the goddess, who hated the darkness.

After a few moments later, inside the library

"As a goddess who will be titled Queen of Witches, you must know about everything, including strong intentions, is one of the driving forces for a witch to cast a spell or do witchcraft. Example: if there is someone, both male and female, who hates or loves other people, then if they cast a spell spontaneously, the energy generated is greater, so the percentage of success of what he does is more than ninety percent."

A woman who is still young, at the age of four hundred and twenty years, is seen teaching in front of the class. Her face does look serious. Meanwhile, another girl was paying close attention to the explanation. The atmosphere in that place was silent because there was no question-and-answer session between them.

"Why do I say the success rate is over ninety percent? Because magick requires a powerful push from oneself, then cooperates with natural forces, resulting in the desired result being achieved immediately. In this case, a witch does not need to wait until the full moon or new moon arrives because the power generated is already very large."

Goddess Atvexia paused for a moment, then she raised both hands, then something strange appeared there; In both palms, a scene appears, which is in accordance with the woman who can manipulate the mind described that situation very well. Atvertha, who witnessed it all, became very interested because she could see examples visually.

"As you see here, a very strong

determination must emerge from within a person so that when the spell is spoken right on the target. However, not all witches can be like that because there are also witches who prefer to do witchcraft at a scheduled time, such as wanting to do a blessing, hex, or curse at a full moon, so she/he rarely cast spells spontaneously."

That smart lady immediately took notes on a blank parchment using a quill that had been dipped in ink. Meanwhile, God Helion's wife also covered her palms, so the visualization that was deliberately shown to her only daughter as soon as possible disappeared. She looked at Atvertha, who was still writing on the parchment, with a serious expression.

"Any questions so far?" asked Goddess Atvexia.

A woman whose eyes turn red when angry uses a formal tone of voice because she still acts as a teacher in the classroom. On the other hand, the interlocutor could say nothing at the moment because she was still busy with her original activities, as if all attention was devoted to it. Goddess Atvexia kept her daughter in this condition and did not want to interrupt her.

In less than a minute, the violet-eyed girl finished taking notes, then looked at her mother, who had been observing all her actions. Goddess Atvexia watched with an expressionless gaze, causing Atvertha to feel guilty, even though her mother had not scolded her openly. "I am sorry, I just finished writing, Mom," Atvertha replied politely.

A young lady is trying to break the ice between them. Goddess Atvexia only nodded in response. She seemed to wait for the student - her biological daughter, to say more, and Atvertha felt that moment. "As for questions, I have a few questions, Mom. Is it okay to say all, or one by one?"

"You can mention them one by one, and I will answer your question." Goddess Atvexia gave her permission, which relieved the goddess who still lacked experience, especially those related to witches.

"Thank you for the opportunity given to me. For the first question, if a witch feels a strong urge, whether it be feelings of anger, hatred, or deep love, she/he immediately performs magical actions spontaneously, as mentioned earlier. Still, all done in the afternoon or evening, whether does not affect the timing of the reign of the Sun Goddess herself?"

"No. The spells cast by a witch or a group of witches will not interfere with my reign of time. As the Sun Goddess, I have no problem with that because spells are a part of witchcraft where it all uses natural energy."

"Why should not that be a problem, Mom? Is not the time difference very important?"

"They can do spontaneous spells at any time because only the witch knows when the urge to do so is. It is true that hex, curse, blessing, and others are better done at night, especially when it coincides with the full moon or new moon. However, those are all exceptions because the magick done must happen suddenly, with very strong determination."

"If what they are doing works, is there an antidote?"

"All diseases have an antidote, including black magic. But it all depends on the victim. If the target were a bloody mortal, then that stupid human would not survive for sure. If the target is a fellow witch, then she/he can treat himself/herself or seek help from the Elder Witch, a High Priest, and a High Priestess."

Goddess Atvexia subconsciously

pressed the word 'a bloody mortal'

while answering her daughter's

question so that such an event stunned Atvertha, and her heart beat faster than usual. The atmosphere was silent for a while because the teacher seemed to be waiting for further questions from the other person. The Moon Goddess thought back to a handsome man, who came from the earth, so the longing for the opposite sex also appeared by itself. However, the girl tried to neutralize the situation, just to avoid her mother's suspicion.

"Ehem... pardon me, Mom. What if something happened... something fatal?" Atvertha asked again. However, she stammered a little, so Goddess Atvexia already felt something odd about her daughter.

"Can you explain with that 'something fatal"?" Goddess Atvexia fishing rod. She deliberately asked like that because she saw both Atvertha's cheeks were blushing without any apparent reason.

"That means-"
