10 Interlude: Moon Goddess

There was an aching in her heart.

Ever since she came back to Olympus she can't stop thinking about that man.

Her heart longed for that man even though it shouldn't be possible.

As the goddess of chastity, she couldn't be mesmerized by anyone. Even the goddess of sex, Aphrodite, held no power over her.

But that man... that man held so much power over her that she was thinking that she lost her godhood.

His gorgeous face, those kissable lips, such beautiful hair she had never seen on anyone.

And his body? There seem to be some weird reaction when she thought about it as a volcano just burst inside her.

Those muscles screamed strength, which would allow him to easily manhandle her even if she was a goddess.

Those abs. Those eight-pack abs were perfection. She was having a hard time keeping her eyes on his face and not gawking at his abs like a fool.

But what helped her was his eyes. Those eyes were sharper than any of her arrows which pierced her heart mercilessly.

Even his brother, who held the divinity of male beauty, and boasted about being the most handsome among the pantheon couldn't even hold a candle to that man.

If her brother was a lizard then that man was a dragon. Both in beauty and power.

She shouldn't. She loved her brother. But his loss filled her with happiness.

No.

It wasn't her brother's loss but that man's win.

She had asked for several wishes from her father Zeus, one of being to remain an eternal virgin.

But after her eyes met him, her pussy throbbed thinking about him.

Never in her entire life, had she felt something like this.

Was it because of her divinity of the moon and his divinity of the sun?

A moon is useless without the sun. It can't give light to the world without the sun's grace.

Similarly was she too useless without him?

The desire for him can only be fulfilled by breaking her vow of chastity.

But is it right to break the vow of eternal maidenhood for him?

A strong yes almost came out of her small mouth as she lay in the bed pondering.

Not only her, but her retinue of eighty huntresses and handmaidens vowed to protect their chastity just like their goddess.

These strong, independent, beautiful women put their utmost trust in her. They were always with her as her companions and handmaidens. Won't be she betraying these nymphs for a man she met not even for five minutes?

Any man who tried to court her or forcefully violate her huntresses met a fatal end by her.

Actaeon, who unsuccessfully tried to peep at her while she was bathing, died after being ripped apart by his hounds.

Bouphagos, son of the Titan Iapetus, who held sinful thoughts about her was struck down at Mount Pholoe.

Orion, a giant huntsman, tried to violate one of her followers, resulting in his death by the goddess' arrow.

And various other men who faced her wrath.

She also had been harsh on any of her huntresses who lost their virginity.

Callisto, one of her handmaidens, was seduced by Zeus and thus impregnated by him. In anger, she punished her by turning her into a bear.

Was it wrong now as she wants to walk on that same path?

No, it was the right action.

The man she met was an exception. His father or any other man was not.

If breaking her vow for him is wrong, she doesn't mind it. She will but will he accept her?

She was no expert in love but she was a woman, and she realized how the seraph was looking at the man.

But even if she decided to let go of this millennia-old vow will others accept it?

Her brother would have killed the man if he could, but from the events that happened in Swarga, he was the last of her worry.

But her father...

He was the one who gave her this wish of eternal maidenhood.

She will be disrespecting her father and violating his words.

She knew her father won't do anything to her but...

'Will he be able to fight my father like he did my brother?'

His father was far stronger than his brother and if it comes to it she will have to lift weapons against him.

That would be unthinkable.

It would be going against her pantheon.

Shouldn't she consult the Fates for the best course of action? If it's her destiny to be with him then there will be no hesitation.

'But...'

Isn't it just her playing safe?

Will her desire be pure?

If she thinks he is the only man she would give her purity to then can't she risk her life for him?

Doesn't he deserve that?

He deserved the world.

She decided against asking the Fates for a suggestion. If she is going to trust her instincts then she will trust them fully not half-heartedly.

But how can she make him fall for her?

He was the only man who was unfazed seeing her and that seraph's beauty. There was no god that she knew about like that.

Wouldn't it be good to ask for some advice from someone?

But whom? All will judge her for going against her vow. She didn't care about others' opinions but she don't want him to think that she couldn't even keep a simple vow.

Aphrodite? If I tell her about him, that harlot would instantly run to him to warm his bed.

After all, not only Apollo, he was far superior to Ares too.

I don't mind if he sleeps with her but...

He was too beautiful to be bound by me. I can see that almost every goddess will desire him thus he will have a legion of them.

And...

I would like to be one of them if it's possible.

But I don't see that harlot helping me that much.

'Maybe Athena or Hestia...'

But what if they tell this to my father?

No.

No one will do in Olympus.

'There should be someone who might be in the same boat as me...'

Yes.

There's one who could help her.

She wasted no time in picking up her bow and riding on her chariot, a golden chariot driven by four golden-horned deer, to meet that angel who could help her... or maybe just talk to her.
