Are You Looking for Something?
Three hours and fifteen minutes later,
A girl with thin lips was seen still lying on the bed. The atmosphere in the room was very quiet; not even a sound could be heard from outside. In the midst of this silence, slowly but surely, the virgin’s eyes opened. She was silent for a long time as if she was trying to gather her lost consciousness. When her memory returned, the owner of the room remembered someone. “Armen. What is he doing on Earth?”
A woman with thin eyebrows moved as if trying to get out of bed. What Atvertha did was not in vain because the only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, was able to wake up and now sitting on the edge of the bed. Memories of her mother’s anger came back to her mind, so she became worried about the safety of her mortal lover. “How long have I been asleep? I have to check my man’s condition.”
The Moon Goddess finally got out of bed and walked towards the door. After arriving at the desired area, the two-hundred-and-seventy-year-old woman could not touch the door as if something was preventing her from doing so. Atvertha never gave up and kept trying, but the same incident kept repeating itself. In fact, when the girl tried to force her way out, she was thrown about two meters away.
“Damn! What happened? Why can’t I even get out of the room?” Atvertha grumbled, trying to get up.
That young lady stepped back in the same direction, and once there, she experienced a similar incident again. Every time Atvertha tried to open the door, her body was thrown again, so the girl felt pain all over her body. “What the hell was going on? Has Mom sealed my room with her spell?”
A woman with long silver hair got up and then walked towards a chair where there was a table there. Confusion struck Atvertha’s heart, so she tried to remember the events that had occurred, even though her memory had not returned one hundred percent. “Did I deliberately lock myself in my room so I could not meet Armen? I wonder.”
Atvertha sat in a chair and then looked out of the room. The sun was shining brightly, so its light illuminated the girl’s room. One by one, memories of the events before she fell asleep came back to her mind. The violet-eyed woman exhaled as if a heavy burden was crushing her. “I do not want to be locked up here, let alone marry that idiot Toghnath. How can I escape from the prison that Mom made, huh?”
Just as the Moon Goddess said that, suddenly, there was a loud sound at a nearby table. At first, the girl tried to ignore it, but the sound became louder and louder, so inevitably, her attention was immediately drawn there. “What kind of sound is that?”
The only daughter of the couple, Lord Helion and Goddess Avtexia, was shocked when she discovered that the sound came from a silver-covered book that magically continued to move. The object moved as if an invisible hand was carrying out the action. “Is that not the Book of Destiny? Does it have something to say?”
Without hesitation, the virgin goddess immediately took the object, and then the book stopped moving. However, a light emerged from inside the book, so Armen Faustus Lugthna’s lover opened a random page as soon as possible, and writing appeared: Hello, Goddess Atvertha! Long time no see you. How are you? Are you still in contact with that mortal male, or have you given up?
“Shit! Why does this strange book always know what is happening to me?”
The sentences that had been in the book suddenly disappeared, and then new words began to appear, which formed a new sentence that stunned the pale-faced woman. “Did you forget that I am the Book of Destiny? Why are you still in contact with that mortal guy? You could cause big chaos, Goddess. Stop your relationship right now before it’s too late!” Atvertha read what was written in the book.
A woman who could see in the dark did not accept the warning given by the Book of Destiny. She shook her head, and her longing for the mortal lover deepened. Beautiful memories of spending time with the handsome young man always flashed in her mind, which made the girl always want to be with him. The God of War’s expression also appeared, which made Atvertha angry. “Do not make things up! I do not want to be separated from Armen!”
The sentences in the book were quickly deleted by itself. A woman, who had a height of one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall, snorted, but she did not say anything yet because she was still waiting for a response from the Book of Destiny. When a new paragraph had been created, Atvertha looked back there and read it word for word, “So, can you leave the room, Goddess?”
This sentence made the girl silent. Atvertha could not say a word because, in reality, she could not leave her room. The atmosphere in the place became silent again because the girl was silent for a long time.
I hate to admit it, but the spell that Mom made is really strong, so no matter how hard I try, I am still trapped here. I suspect that this book is an incarnation of Nyx because they have similar characteristics: they are both sarcastic and don’t like my man. How annoying they are! Thought the Moon Goddess, who was still holding the book she got from the Heavenly Library.
Atvertha looked back at the silver-covered book. The same sentence was still clearly printed on the open page and had not disappeared at all. “I can’t get out of the room because of what Mom did. Can you help me? Do not beat around the bush, and just tell me the answer.”
After Atvertha finished saying that, the writing in the book quickly disappeared again. A woman with a pointed nose could only watch for new words that appeared on the page and hoped that they would be given suggestions that would have a good impact on her.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
I have several suggestions. First suggestion: Goddess, you should be apart from that mortal guy.
It did not satisfy Atvertha with the answer given by the Book of Destiny, so she became angry with the interlocutor, even though it was in the form of a magic book. “I know you are just a book, but give me a reasonable reason! I told you earlier I do not want to part with my man! You can mention another way because I will definitely reject the first suggestion!”
This time, a new sentence appeared, but it did not eliminate the previous sentence. These words were actually below the existing paragraph. This moment made the beautiful woman surprised and interested.
Second suggestion: The Goddess must open the seal made by Goddess Avtexia with a very strong spell. Are you up to it?
The virgin goddess shook her head again. “I can’t do it. I do not know what kind of spell Mom used. Even if I knew, I would not necessarily be able to open the seal.”
A woman with thin eyebrows turned her gaze outward. The feeling of longing for the man she loved made her sad so that the face of that mortal guy seemed to appear and smile broadly at her. “Armen. I hope you and all your tribe members are fine. I will find a way so I can leave this place forever.”
The virgin’s concentration was broken because she felt a strong vibration from her hand, so Atvertha turned toward the source. It turned out that the object that caused the shock came from the book she had been holding. Not for long time, there was already a new sentence visible, so the girl’s curiosity grew even greater.
Third suggestion: Look for a mate from an immortal God. Lord Havento, for example. He likes you, Goddess Atvertha.
The wallflower girl suddenly remembered the behavior of her best friend’s eldest brother, which caused her to fight with the Ruler of the Underworld. “What the fuck? Havento? He was a scary and annoying guy! I still remember his really annoying behavior when I was in the Underworld at Nyx’s invitation. No, thank you.”
The Book of Destiny is crazy! All the advice given didn’t help at all, especially about Havento liking me. There is no way a strange man like that would fall in love with me. Havento is a cold and scary man. I can’t imagine how boring life would be if I had him as a husband because his attitude is so annoying! Atvertha groaned in her heart.
However, the magical book did not give up, even though the Queen of Witches rejected all its suggestions. Its again gave new advice, where a new sentence was again on the same page, and the girl realized this incident.
If you really refuse, then I have a final suggestion, namely, make an agreement with Lord Havento or Nyx. Get them to agree to help so Goddess can get out of here. Only they can break the seal of the Sun Goddess. If you fail, then there is no other way.
Atvertha fell silent again, thinking about the advice from the Book of Destiny. The girl did not know what to do because the last suggestion seemed ambiguous to her. “Make an agreement with Havento or Nyx? How do I do it? Nyx definitely will not want to help because she really hates mortals. But as for her brother, I do not know whether I will succeed in doing that or not.”
