Before We Visit The Goddess Novels & Stories

After stuffing everything into a bag, we head towards Arraya’s domain. We come to the border. Treyah stops, “Remember to ask before approaching her altar, unless invited.” I nod. “Thank you, Treyah. I hope you and your sisters enjoy the night.”

I both wanted to go and stay away. “What is this place?” I asked, buying time so my emotions could maybe sort through themselves. “We guard the entry points for our goddesses to return here. We keep them alive.”

My bewilderment deepened, rendering me utterly perplexed. "Yes, a helping hand. Have you ever heard of the 'Teardrop of Goddess Natalí'?" she inquired. I shook my head, admitting my ignorance. My knowledge of Goddess Natalí was limited to her being the deity of life and fertility, worshipped by the people of Nayak alongside her consort, Nati, the God of war and death. Beyond that, my understanding was lacking, as we were not particularly religious in Ruqgu.

Yet, the goddess's inviting gesture was too compelling to resist. With determined steps, I climbed the throne bed, my silver heels echoing softly against the polished surface. As I reached the goddess, I felt a surge of ethereal energy enveloping me, like a warm embrace from the moon itself. My arms wrapped around the goddess, feeling the divine presence that radiated from her. "Welcome, Princess Astraea," the moon goddess greeted me warmly. "Thank you, Moon Goddess," I replied, my voice filled with reverence. I tried to avoid meeting the goddess's gaze directly, but the moon goddess gently lifted my chin, locking eyes with mine.

My breath caught as I stood before the core, where the towering statue of the Moon Goddess loomed, serene and powerful, illuminated by a silvery glow that seemed to pulse with life. “Goddess!” I called out, my voice echoing through the serene temple. “I need answers, and you must give them to me,” I demanded, my tone unwavering. Staring into the carved, ethereal face of the Moon Goddess, I pressed on. “Who is the girl that keeps appearing in my dreams?” My voice trembled slightly, but I forced it to remain steady. “Is she my mate?” I paused, hoping for even the faintest sign of a response, but the silence loomed heavy around me.

Also, my father suggested we visit the ancient temple, the Divine priestess for the gender, and seek blessings from the moon goddess such that Ariana will have a sound and safe delivery. I nodded and asks for the days which will be better for us to visit the Divine priestess. "Just as how the law of this kingdom had permitted when the pregnancy is three months." My mother chimed amidst our conversation, my eyes lingered around the room. ***** Three moons later which was three months later. I and my wife embarked on the journey of going to visit the Divine priestess whose abode was on the outskirts of the pack house. Ariana didn't make the journey to be easy as she was always throwing up insi

“Humanity will help without asking for anything in return. We only hope that our cooperation will be mutual.” The Goddess nodded, looked at the other gods, and they nodded. “Good, let's go to Crescent,” said the Goddess. She looked at us, we held hands, and then she snapped her fingers. We appeared in the middle of Crescent Square. The people fell silent when they saw us, and when they realized it was the Goddess who was with us, they all immediately knelt down, including Nick, Eugene, Xavier, and the counselors. There was no one who did not fear the Goddess, and that filled me with relief.

I was interested in seeing what was inside. "We can visit it on our return," I said, pressing Kaya to move on. "I think we should take a rest," she said. "Even if it is only for a short while." Kaya began walking in the direction of the temple. "In there?" I inquired anxiously. "Yeah, why not?" Kaya let out a chirp. "It is a place of worship!" I reminded her. "And for the tired wolf to stop and drink," Kaya said. "The Goddess would understand. She knows your intentions are pure."

the Moon Goddess warns us. “Yes, mother, we will call them back.” I walk beside the Moon Goddess until we reach the perch that we had sat on before. As I sit, she holds her hands out to me. When I take hold of them, I’m plunged into a vision. The war that is coming. There will be bloodshed, lives lost and hope diminished; we have to prevent this. “Look after yourselves and be careful. This is your first trial beginning," she says, kissing our forehead and giving us a gentle push, sending us back to my body.

As the day came, five humans entered the temple. Alarc, from the mountain tribe, knelt before the god Absalom. He asked for the gifts of speed, strength, and everlasting life. Beom, from the forest tribe, knelt before the goddess Selene and asked for strength, speed and the ability to find one’s one true love. Arilia, from the plains tribe, knelt before the goddess Eurynome and asked for everlasting life, the power to communicate with nature and the ability to change their form. Malissie, from the desert tribe, knelt before the goddess Hecate and asked for the power to heal, the power to communicate with nature and to be able to predict the future.
