The Night Sky

Nytra PoV

None of us Goddesses could remember when Teran had been created, nor who created it.

What we could remember was that it existed for us, but we also existed for it; the large planet was linked to our power, and the mortals that were carved in our likeness were the givers of that power.

Now, some of us simply have innate power because of who we were; our domains simply made it impossible to not be powerful.

For instance, the mortals needed to eat.

How could they eat?

By hunting or farming.

Anyone with domains related to those activities benefited without lifting their finger.

But what about the broader domains?

Take Night for example; my domain.

It affects the entire planet, therefore I have an entire planet to draw power from.

I bring about the darkness that mortals either fear or love, I lower the temperatures to either be freezing or to allow people to enjoy the cool air after a sweltering day.

As such, I was a Goddess of many, many tastes.

However, one thing that I found to be universal around the planet was something rather simple.

Everyone felt lonely looking up into the black night sky, and seeing the moons that Lunalata guided above the planet only made the void feel emptier than before.

Frowning, I looked around the vastness of the space around me, the pitch black expanse making me sigh as I watched Lunalata talk excitedly with Demetra.

Holding my knees to my chest, I pursed my lips as I felt a pang inside my heart, the lonely feeling swelling at the sight.

I had power, even if I didn't ask for it, but I had no one to share it with.

With night as my domain, I was locked to watching the dark planet below us with longing in my eyes.

It was during one of those nights that I witnessed something incredible.

Laying in a field of grass, a woman with bright green skin lounged as she stared up into the sky, her ocean blue eyes seemingly meeting mine.

She wore a gentle smile as she stared into the sky, and I gulped as I looked around, before noticing that Lunalata and her moons were leagues away, meaning...

Leaning forwards, I stared at the mortal below me, noticing that her lips were moving.

Focusing on her entirely, I listened to the melodic song that escaped those plump lips, and I felt each note, each lyric tug at my heart, the woman's emotions slowly becoming my own.

She was also lonely, and she found solace in staring into the blank canvas that was the night.

Her features were bathed in moonlight, and I found her singing enrapturing.

Sadly, the light of Goria's sun began to push me away, her scorching heat causing my skin to bubble as I hissed in pain.

Taking one last look at the mortal, I noticed that she had fallen asleep, her pale green face glowing so beautifully in the light of dawn.

With that last look, I moved, shrouding another part of Teran in darkness.

However, that entire rotation of the planet was spent thinking of her; would she sing again, would she look so dazzling under the moons light..?

Those questions made the spin of Teran seem so dreadfully slow, and I felt my heart pounding in my chest as I returned to that same spot.

As did the pale green woman.

Just like before, she began to sing as she laid in the grass, and I continued to lean closer and closer, wanting to see more of her, to 'feel' more of her.

This continued on for many nights, and eventually...

I leaned too close.

I departed from the sky, and found myself on the ground, standing beside the woman.

Instead of looking shocked or afraid, she smiled gently at me and whispered "Took you long enough..."

Blinking in surprise, I sat down beside her as I asked "You... knew I was watching?"

She chuckled, and I found the sound to be so pleasing to my ears that I was afraid I was already addicted.

"How could I not? You watch and listen so passionately every night... Did you like it?"

She rolled onto her side, and I gulped as I took in her beauty; her blue locks fell over her perfect face, and those plump lips were tugged up into a mischievous smile.

Her ocean blue eyes shone with mirth, and she pat the grass beside her.

Without a second thought I inched closer, becoming aware of the fact that we were both nude; her eyes were locked on mine though, and I didn't know whether to appreciate her gaze or be angry she wasn't looking me over...

"Y-Yes... I liked it a lot. The melody was soothing, and the lyrics... 'wrapped in a shroud of black everywhere I go, to put my inner colors on show'..."

She chuckled as she arched a sharp brow, her melodic voice soothing my ears again as she said "You really were listening... that was the line I sang on a whim yesterday, one I hadn't even sang for the village yet."

Pursing my lips, I opened my mouth and continued to talk, trying my best to continue the conversation and elicit a chuckle or two from her.

Succeeding felt wonderful, but it only made the light of dawn hurt that much more.

Seeing her blue eyes widen in worry, I shook my head as I gave her a pained smile, before gasping "What's your name?!"

She looked at me, stunned for a moment, before bursting into laughter.

"Constella. My name is Constella."

"Constella... Constella, will you be here tomorrow night as well?"

Ignoring the feeling of my skin flaking off, I waited for her answer, which was a nod.

Getting up, I stepped back into the shadows of the night, my eyes still glued to her.

"What about you?! What's your name?!"

Smirking at her, I brought a finger to my lips and winked, before returning to the sky above.

Hearing her exasperated grumble, I chuckled before continuing my rounds, awaiting the next night.

Finding her there again, I descended as soon as I could, smiling at her as she glared at me.

Plopping down, I was about to apologize when I felt her lips press against mine, and I stiffened in shock.

Pulling away, she giggled as she stared at me, gloating "That is the price for last night!"

Her laughter was infectious, and I began to laugh alongside her.

However, that turned the atmosphere ambiguous, and I felt her blue eyes lower from mine.

My bare skin was on display, and Constella licked her lips appreciatively as she took in my figure, before her eyes returned to mine.

Seeing her penis harden, I blushed as she asked "So, mystery woman... should we make tonight a little less lonely~?"

She pat the grass beside her, and I hesitantly nodded before laying beside her.

That night, I gave myself to a mortal, and Constella showed me the pleasures of being a woman; my long stint of being alone was gone.

After many hours of passionate love making, I could feel the dawn approaching, so I weakly pushed her off of me, much to her disappointment.

"C-Constella... U-Uhm, m-my name is Nytra."

I blushed again as I looked away, the woman's stunned features filling me with worry.

"Nytra... a-as in the Goddess Nytra?"

Licking my lips, which had just been so tightly locked against hers, opened again as I muttered "Y-Yes..."

Blinking a few times, Constella let out a hollow laugh as she laid into the grass, her words making me confused.

"I just fucked a Goddess..."

Raising a brow, I watched as she went through a variety of emotions, before she shrugged and sat up.

"Nytra, if I may... You seemed lonely, and to hate... leaving."

I nodded, tilting my head as I stared at her.

"Honestly, I'm lonely too. No one in the village looks at me for me; just for song and dance. My days are dreadfully boring, but my nights..."

Her small smirk made me blush as I felt her cream inside me, and I asked her to go on with my eyes.

"So... do you think..?"

She waved her hand towards the air, and I finished her words for her, the surprise in my voice obvious.

"Y-You want me to... take you with me? A-Are you sure?! Once you leave, there is no coming back!"

Could she afford to give up this planet?

I could go between freely, since I was a Goddess through and through, but... Constella couldn't, even if she became a Goddess.

It just... didn't work like that; not for those of us like Lunalata, Gloria, and Solara.

We should be locked to the heavens, but we can come down every so often...

"Eh, I don't have anything holding me here. I can still sing up there, can't I? I can still dance, I can still hold you?"

I nodded at each of her questions, and the woman before me grinned.

"Good! Then come on; dawns coming. Seeing you last night... hurt."

Sensing the pain in her voice, I felt odd; it was the first time someone had cared about me like that, and it was the first time I had felt... relieved that they cared.

My isolation had altered me, and without hesitation I reached forwards and grabbed Constella, pulling her up into the sky with me.

As we ascended, she changed.

Her pale green flesh began to shine, while those ocean blue iris' enveloped her entire sclera.

The further up we got, the more she shone, and I realized something.

I wanted to have a light of my own in the night sky, one that belonged to me and not Lunalata.

Constella became that light; my light.

She became the first star, and as such, she was the Goddess of Stars.

When she joined me in the sky, the mortals below could see her shape as she sung to me; she appeared as multiple lights to them, and they began to stare in wonder at her.

At us; not long after she joined me, her constant embrace led to the birth of our child, Nebulata, the Goddess of Nightly Lights.

Our daughter danced around us with such joy, taking after her Dama Constella so much...

Her limbs shone with beautiful colors that shifted, and she created patterns for the mortals below.

Paterns that would later be joined by mortals that caught our eye, but that is a story for another night.
