Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Towards the End of Day 1
Arthur and Hellenia, as well as the villagers who witnessed how Zeeta went missing along with two strangers just as quickly, immediately panic. After what had just happened to them a few days ago—the war with the Hollow army, although it ended in an unexpected victory, they had basically not calmed down.
If something triggers a little panic, then....
“Hei! Princess Zeeta has been kidnapped by someone! Tell Queen Alicia about this!” exclaim Citizens A.
“Is this related to yesterday's war? Isn't that voice that we can somehow hear, calling Princess Zeeta's name?” ask a Citizen B.
“Hey you!” exclaim Citizen C to Citizen B, “you dare to accuse Princess Zeeta of being in contact with yesterday's attack?! He has always saved us, there is no way he could have done that to his own kingdom!”
“Whatever you say, but I believe in what I hear!”
Yep.
The panic broke out and spread widely like a virus that spread very quickly, without the need for Hellenia— as one of the pillars of the kingdom, reported to Alicia.
The issue soon reached those who did not know that Zeeta was walking to the village of Lazuli— - his non-Human allies. An unhappy facial wrinkle was immediately depicted on each race.
The official branch of the royal family, the Levant. Zeeta's twin cousins, who were eating at a restaurant, could clearly hear the issue from customers who had just arrived.
“Kak Zee...? Again he was involved in something..?” Edward was the first to be disturbed.
“He must be fine, Ed,” reply Ella.
Edward was astonished by Ella's response. He frowned, also presenting a question. “Keahu from papa's story that his magic circuit is dead after coming out of the Land of Death, ‘kan?”
‘Prrff!’
Ella spouted the drink she was gulping to the side.
“Basic. Women cannot be honest with themselves. If you're worried, just say it!”
“Bu-not that, even Brother Zee can get out of that land, meaning he can do something!
“Which I want to say, we have nothing compared to Brother Zee. Although we are worried about him and want to do something useful for him, we will definitely always be intercepted by papa and the others!”
“Although so, Ella.... You're twin! You must understand the pain I feel!”
“I know, Ed. But ... what can we do..?”
The pair of twins clutched their hands due to their own incompetence....
......................
“If we were the Yggdrasil Seeds together, the Dragon, or yourself, we could face it!” Hitomi Reiko who has an alias as Asteria was persuading Zeeta who was being slapped by the fact a friend since childhood has become ashes.
“What can I do when I can't clean like this? I'm the same as a normal human being!” exciting Zeeta. “In fact, if Gerda is in such a condition, then I should save her, not you!”
“Listen Zeeta. I ask for your help to save my empire not only because they are threatened, but the whole world.
“Your words telling the Elves who connected with the tree of time to let us get the Soul Stone, have already been read in advance by your other self—The Dark Lord.
“If he is a reflection of yourself, I don't need to explain what danger I mean to you, do I?
“Kutahu there are some things that are not in line with what happened in the future line of his world, but he already anticipates this happening a step, and when the imperial forces arrive.”.
Zeeta. He understood what Hitomi meant. Yet....
“I told you, what can I do when I can't clean!?”
“Take me first, Zeeta. Are you willing to help? Or will you let the world be swallowed not only by Jotunnheim, Jormungand, but also by YOURSELF?!”
“What's the difference with your goal all along to collect Soul Stones? In the end, you also want to make Ragnarok happen, right?”
“Haaaah~” Hitomi takes a deep breath. “I can't believe I have to explain this to the person who has always been guided by his ancestors.
“Listen. I'm the Yggdrasil Seed. There is no way I can carry out a plan that is the opposite of my Spirit Yggdrasil's goal.
“With my strength, I know who will be the core of the three Seeds long ago. What I am doing is not far from the Last Day we are heading towards. Is that simple thing you can't understand?
“Chronologically, Ragnarok will arrive like this. Two worlds will collide with Galdurheim, then the sign of the start of Ragnarok is the descent of the snake-shaped Evil Giant named Jormungand.
“This must have been known by other Yggdrasil Spirits, for it was clairvoyance that they saw before splitting themselves into Spirits.
“I do not know what Klutzie is doing, because all this time I was always preoccupied by two witches whose identities are the same, but very inversely proportional.
“Please, strengthen yourself and face this together.”
“....” Zeeta's speechless. He seems to be considering it.
.
.
.
.
“What can I do to help you?” ask Zeeta.
“Simple. Meet my father, Emperor Zero. You will be in politics there.”
“Politics..?”
“I remind you first, Seiryuu is not a weak empire. Every society can use Ki to defend themselves. I admit, of course there are weak, but that does not mean they will not defend themselves.
“I want you .. to trust my father to stop the Dark Lord.
“Before you came out of the Land of Death, he and my father had agreed. To my father's knowledge, the Dark Lord is you. So, if the hope is still there, my father will cancel the deal and will side with Aurora.”
“...” Zeeta was silent again.
“How... Zeeta?”
“He won't help you.” Another voice resounded echoing in the full dimension of the star and the light of its light.
“Who is it?!” Hitomi immediately gave distance, the conscious Xennaville fell silent on her back to her master.
The lunar earrings on Zeeta's left ear shook by themselves. Panicking, Zeeta takes it off. “A-what else happened here?!” his screams.
The red light dazzled them, then....
“I admit, your mouth is very sweet in the ears and warms the heart.”
“Te-Tellaura...?!” Zeeta glares to see her ancestors turning their backs on her.
“What else, if your interlocutor is a political amateur like him,” Tellaura continued.
“Cih...” Hitomi was not happy at all.
“You are smart. Saaangat smart. You took advantage of an opportunity where he was still in a state of nil magic, to break his ability to sense mana, and at the same time, to, you want to frame him for swallowing this political deal so you don't have to bother meeting the powerful people in Aurora who will only get in the way of your plans.
“As you said. The one who understands you the most is yourself....
“Iya, ‘kan, Ruler of Darkness..?”
Tellaura stared intently at Hitomi Reiko. “Damn it!” with a furious face, Hitomi was about to step out of her dimension, but....
‘CLICK!’
Those dimensions immediately turned into lavender-colored soil with a sea of fire surrounding them. “Ba-how could—“ Hitomi startled herself now in another dimension just because of one finger flick.
Hitomi who saw the look in her eyes, as if hit by some kind of attack. “Aghk!” his erang. Shortly thereafter, he fainted, and Xennaville.
At the same time, somewhere else....
“Aaagghhk!!” the Dark Lord's. “My eyes!” he held her eyes. “Haah... haaah.. haah Blood dripped from his eyes. “Sial... shit!
“Didn't he just come out of the Land of Death? How did he get into his dimension?! The magic circuit should still be off, just like the others!”
He thought of the best answer to that question.
“Do-don't..?!”
......................
“Te-Tellaura.. why...?” ask Zeeta, who is currently in her ancestral dimension.
“I am a dead man who has the condition of coming out of the Land of Death— to help you end Ragnarok. It's simple as that.”
“Ta-but ... how do you...”.
“You don't have to think about anything trivial about that. The most important thing right now .. You've heard it yourself. Our goal now ... is to attack Seiryuu, and finish off the Dark Lord before the world falls into the wrong hands.”
Zeeta swallowed her own saliva. He didn't expect there to be a day when he should.
.

‘FWASHH!’
Like a wind rotation with the heat of fire, Zeeta and Tellaura return to the village of Lazuli—the same place before Zeeta vanished.
The people who were panicking, looked like fools. There was a pause of a few tens of minutes after the loss of Zeeta, and now the Princess was in front of them again, but with another person with similar earrings.
Tellaura was wrapping Zeeta's right arm around her shoulder to help her offspring stay strong.
“Zeeta!” unlike those who looked up in confusion, those who were familiar with Zeeta in the village, such as Arthur, Hellenia, Grilda, and Recko, ran over to the two.
“You! What did you do to my daughter?!” arthur exclaims while planning to clean up.
“Quiet, Arthur!” exclaim Hellenia, “see those earrings! She must have had her bond with the Princess!”
“Despite that, he could have conspired with the girl who kidnapped Zeeta!”
Seeing the worries of the few people there, Tellaura made a smile. “This is Lazuli now?” tanyakanya.
Zeeta smiled. “True. This is the result of the changes you brought over three hundred years ago.”
“Thankful...”.
“Zeetaaa!” screams Recko, who runs ahead of Arthur.
“A-what?!” Arthur could not believe the near-midlife man was firmer than the young one.
Without the ba-bi-bu, Recko launched her fist at Tellaura, but the red-haired lady easily avoided it, so Recko fell down on the ground.
“Hehe, I'm fine, Uncle Recko.”
“REALLY?!” ask Recko, not caring about his bloody nose.
“Zeeta, are you okay?!”
Tellaura takes off Zeeta to be hugged by Arthur.
“Uhm. I'm fine,” Zeeta replied in her foster father's arms.
Hellenia and Grilda followed the last. As one of the pillars of the kingdom, Hellenia of course was aware of the moon earrings of Tellaura. “Everything, relax. This woman is probably the person that Lady Scarlet—the Ancestor Princess Zeeta told her and the Curse Witch who brought magic to humans, Tellaura!”
Those who hear, are wide-eyed. Accustomed to the feeling of hatred and uncomfortable because of it, made Tellaura on standby.
“THANK YOU VERY MUCH!” arthur exclaimed, who then bowed.
“E-eh..?” Tellaura scrunched her forehead.
Arthur's actions were exemplified by those who had previously looked up. Hellenia, Grilda, and Recko.
“Thank you for saving our Princess, Nyo—uh... Miss Tellaura!” keep Arthur.
“Thank you, Miss!” another at the same time.
Zeeta finishes it by embracing her ancestors and saying the same thing. “Here, you will no longer experience hatred. That hatred has completely disappeared in this kingdom!” This silver-haired Princess clearly saw how Tellaura's eyes were slowly turning. He also felt a slowly growing hiccup.
“This ... is like a dream....
“The previous village always denied our existence .. so accept us warmly and even smile.!”.
Hearing this, Zeeta is devastated. Here's. This is what he wants to hear from the goals that have been pursued along with his responsibilities.
At that time, he clutched his ancestors tightly, while thinking, “Thank you, myself. Thanks to you, I managed to find my answer.”
.
.
.
.
After being calm, the two of them took off each other's arms. Zeeta then stood next to Tellaura with a serious face. “Everything, please listen to me!” the door was immediately greeted by silence.
The twilight that greeted Zeeta's return with Tellaura, began to hide behind the sparkling stars and the bright moon was almost full.
“You are the first people who will know about it, so this is a very serious thing.
“After hundreds of years of my ancestors trying to change the flow of time to stop the day I destroyed the world, that time has finally been before the eyes.”
Everyone stumbled and gasped.
“From all their struggles, there are some things that change from the flow of time, but there is one thing that cannot be changed from everything, namely the change of the world.
“I have promised many people, especially my adoptive father, Arthur, not to be like the nobility who once trampled on those who did not have or had little mana. Thanks to him, I understood and learned many things about the world, until I finally met and had many friends.
“From Elf races, Giant, Dragon, Dwarf, and many more.
“If my ancestors hadn't tried to deflect the flow of time, I'm sure I'd just be a villain and be hated by you, but I have to say this.
“The words where I will ‘destroy the world’ have not changed, but there is one thing you should underline.
“The essence of those words, is to take the world out of the shackles that have always made not only humans, but other races, even Giant and Dragon, split apart with a tyranny called ‘sihir’.
“I've decided.
“I will destroy this magical world and lead you towards a world where all races can live peacefully side by side!”
Those who witnessed the impromptu speech from Zeeta there, saw it. How did Zeeta's sky-blue eyes shine, and seemed to move their hearts and convince them that he was really serious. At that time, his magic circuit had come back to life, along with the moonlight that shone on them.
