In the resplendent palace that soars high in the celestial expanse, akin to a magnificent yet ethereal dreamscape floating among the heavens, a profound teaching session regarding mortals is unfurling. The enchanting Goddess Avtexia, who reigns over the sun in both mortal and magical realms, imparts her wisdom to her daughter Atvertha. Mortals, in her vivid depiction, are like a ferocious swarm of untamed beasts, savage, sullied, and constantly engaged in fratricidal strife. Wars, avarice, and mayhem pursue them like an unshakable specter. She admonishes her daughter that as a celestial being, she must maintain a chasmic distance from these base creatures, especially proscribing any liaison with mortals, with marriage being an absolute taboo.
Nevertheless, the wheel of destiny commences its hushed yet inexorable rotation. When the lesson concludes and Atvertha finds herself alone in the library, lost in a sea of thoughts, she chances upon a vision of a forest on Earth where a mortally wounded man lies. The man, in his near-death state, resembles a withering flower on the verge of wilting, his plight tugging at the strings of her compassion. Despite her mother's warning resounding in her ears like a deafening clap of thunder, she, like a fearless moth hurtling towards a blazing flame, resolutely descends to Earth, determined to salvage this unknown mortal.
On Earth, within the sylvan embrace of the forest, Atvertha wields her divine might like a master sorceress conjuring a potent enchantment. She not only mends the man's grievous wounds but also scours for a secure haven for him as assiduously as a vigilant sentinel. She bedecks the cave with meticulous care, furnishing it with sustenance, raiment, and luminance as if she were fashioning a snug sanctuary. During this odyssey of mercy, her emotions ebb and flow like the capricious tides of an unfathomable ocean. Whenever her gaze alights upon the man's visage, her heart pulsates with a rapidity akin to a frenzied drumbeat, and an enigmatic yet beguiling sentiment blossoms within her bosom, leaving her as bewildered and adrift as a rudderless vessel in a tempestuous fog. After all, this transgression stands in blatant defiance of her mother's stringent decree.
The following day, the man stirs from his slumber within the cave. Confronted with the tableau before him, he is as astounded as a wide-eyed child stumbling upon a fantastical wonderland and suffused with gratitude as a parched wanderer stumbling upon a life-giving oasis. However, he remains oblivious to the identity of his benefactor. The spider, entrusted with the solemn duty of safeguarding the man, witnesses his post-awakening actions and seethes with rage like a taunted bull at his seemingly ungrateful demeanor.
Atvertha returns to the palace, endeavoring with all her might to expunge this experience from her memory as if erasing an indelible blot. Yet, the man's countenance lingers in her mind like a haunting specter that refuses to be banished. She is ensnared in a quandary, with her mother's unyielding mandate on one side and her irrepressible solicitude for the mortal on the other, like two colossal forces wrenching her in diametrically opposed directions.
What lies in store for their intertwined fates? Will Atvertha cling steadfastly to the tenets of the divine, or will she heed the siren call of her heart? How will the mysterious mortal shape her fateful decision? Brace yourselves for this novel, brimming with fantastical elements and a love that defies the heavens, and together, let us embark on an exploration of their entangled saga.
