Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Fall of Hope
Zeeta and Klutzie had been wading through the sky for two and a half hours. They have passed through the countryside, mountains, waterfalls, rivers, to volcanic craters during the journey. The closer they got to the goal, the stronger could Zeeta feel. Where it does not come from the people or the king mentioned Klutzie who has a large mana. But, if categorized, which Zeeta feels is indeed quite large, not even less large than his own. Now, they could see the kingdom before their eyes, but they chose to rest for a while and make sure they did what they would do later.
"Okay, Prince, I'll say this one more time" said Zeeta, "when I go into the Nebula and which source I feel this coming up, leave that person to me. Whatever happens, focus on where I told you.
"Don't turn your back on that goal before you actually finish it."
Klutzie looked seriously, then nodded. "Yes, okay. You be careful too."
Zeeta smiled, then replied, "Just calm down, there's Luna with me!"
"Alright, come!" They then went into the nebula.
The Nebula Kingdom that was getting closer to the visibility of the two looked extremely large and majestic. The tall pillar supporting the giant gravity core ball that pulls the two large islands separating the island of nobility and people also serves as an elevator to go to the two islands. With such a large gravitational core, it allowed the citizens there to create a civilization under its island as well. There are human buildings, and even trees. The day that was approaching the night, made the gravity ball so bright, as if it did not want to lose to the moon or sun.
Nebula buildings on both islands are predominantly gray. While the island of nobility and people existed on a different island, the palace also had its own place, namely the pillars that soared up into the sky. The entire pillar is his palace. As the two royal nobles swooped down to the noble island, Zeeta asked, "Hey, what exactly is that big blue ball?"
Klutzie then replied, "The ball was named Vanadust, it became the core of gravity that allowed us to have such a unique civilization."
"Hee~ehhh cool, yes.... did your parents invent this?"
"Not, my parents said, it was the creation of my grandfather or great-grandfather, before Nebula came into existence after the union of two kingdoms. Those two kingdoms are the Southern Flare, the kingdom my mother came from, and Gala, the kingdom my father came from. Mother said, it is a proof of the bond of the two kingdoms to always be remembered by the people."
"Oh, yeah.... If it's destroyed, will the Nebula collapse?"
"HUH? YOU WANT TO DESTROY IT?!"
"N-no! Absolutely not! Why do you think so negatively?! I'm offended to know!
"I'm just asking, after all, there will be a fight.just make sure!"
"I knew. I'm kidding too."
"Hm." Zeeta squinted.
"Vanadust will only absorb any attack, whether physical, magic, or from a machine. So, it's impossible to destroy."
"Then, if this pillar that sustains him is destroyed?"
"Hmmm....
"Of course."
"You're this.... Seriously?"
"Do I look like I'm kidding? I was surprised that no one would attack Nebula in this kind of void. After all, since I was a child I wasn't so curious about such a thing.
"I'm only focused on my goal of becoming the Yggdrasil Seed, which is to become number one and uncover the entire mystery of the magic world that exists.
"Now, I'm not so interested in being number one, because your presence made me realize, that nothing can be number one in this magical world, she said, there will always be someone who will surpass himself. When that happens, I just need to practice to surpass that person."
As soon as Zeeta heard his sentence, Zeeta came to a halt. "By the way.. During these six and a half years, there was no sign of the third Yggdrasil Seed, huh?"
"Ah, you're right. How's this, Siren?" ask Klutzie.
"Luna, do you know anything?" ask Zeeta.
"No. Even if there is a sign, we will know it" Siren replied.
"Or... This third Yggdrasil Seed, has become a container earlier than the two of you," replied Luna.
"There's a possibility like that, too, huh...?" ask Zeeta.
"Yes. Enter also the possibility that this one Yggdrasil Seed is dead," replied Luna.
"Uwaah.
"Whatever happens, one thing is certain. If we assume that the Yggdrasil Seed is indeed alive and has become a Container earlier than you, we cannot immediately assume that he is our ally."
"You're right."
"Focus on your current goal; save the Nebula!"
Zeeta and Klutzie smiled. "Good!"
......................
Both the royal family as well as the Yggdrasil Seed, Zeeta Aurora XXI and Klutzie Nebula I, reached the island of nobility. The magnificent buildings without light signified this kingdom was completely dead for almost seven years. The dust flies wherever the wind roars. As Klutzie said, even though the kingdom was dead and dust-filled, there was no sign of any major damage, making the two teenagers increase their vigilance. The cold weather welcomes the arrival of the two, which is slowly followed by the emergence of two people, one of whom is known as Zeeta, Lucy.
"Go, Prince! As planned!" exclaim Zeeta who then jumps from the broomstick and lands by doing a roll. Klutzie flies off leaving Zeeta alone with the two men to somewhere on the island.
"Well, for six and a half years, you've grown into a beautiful girl, yes, Zeeta. You also become very strong like a monster similar to me, as I said," said Lucy, welcoming Zeeta's arrival.
Zeeta salutes him, then replies to Lucy, "Thank you for your warm welcome, Lucy. Now, may I know who the man next to you is?"
The man standing next to Lucy was a thirty tall man with long wavy black hair tied back. His eyebrows were like a boomerang and his gaze was agitated. A beard adorned his face. He was dressed all in black: a coat, pants, vest, gloves, hat, and shoes. Except for his shirt, which is white.
"To be sure, Lucy, you have nothing to do with me, do you?" ask Zeeta, "because I assume you're a pledge lady."
"Hahaha, yes, of course, of course! I have no business with you...
"For now...."
Lucy grinned.
"Zeeta, do you hear me?" a telepathic voice reached Zeeta's ear.
"This voice... Reina...? Uhm, I hear you! What's up?"
"I felt something bad from that guy, you better not use the Runes first, because if you wear the Runes now, Lucy can definitely figure out your attack pattern—"
"This is a fight, Reina. You should know that in a fight there is no certainty, even if the opponent has been cornered.
"Thank you for your advice, but sorry, I can't take it."

"If Reina feels something from the man, then he is not a person with any big, inner Zeeta.
"Zeeta, I will help you" said Luna.
"Luna...? Really true?"
"Yes. In retrospect, this is the first time I will help you fight as the Spirit of Yggdrasil."
"Thank you, I got the help!" Zeeta moves Luna to her right shoulder and throws her hat to the side. "Uncle ... You want to say something to me, don't you?"
"Yes, of course," replied the Man. It absorbed the mana soaring high out of its body. Seeing him, Zeeta grew more and more alert. "Your name is Zeeta Aurora XXI, a descendant of Clarissa, the granddaughter of Scarlet, the son of Alicia.
"Say this and listen carefully. You have done a lot of evil in this world and my present presence before you is the destiny that wants me to wipe you out of the world.
"Therefore, you shall...."
Zeeta was wide-eyed when she heard the entire speech of the Man. With the Kaunaz Rune making her able to hear the contents of one's mind, Zeeta immediately made a barrier magic in haste.
'FWSHHH!'
The man disappeared from where he stood, then....
'ZZRUUSSHT'S'
"Dead for the justice of the world."
Zeeta is stupefied, so is Luna.
"No. maybe....
"guhak!"
Zeeta is coughing up blood. He saw his opponent's left hand drenched in blood and in the same area of view, he saw his chest hollow, and unceasingly draining blood.
Slowly, Zeeta was lying limp on the ground with her breath not irregular at all. Let alone to breathe, just look at him already having trouble.
"Calm down Zee. You can definitely do this. You just cover this wound with your magic, and then you can stand up once more!" Zeeta directs her still movable right hand to her chest to cover her wound.
"You promised everyone, including yourself, that you would protect the world! Don't want to die in a place like....
"It's...."
The right hand was lying limp and his open gaze showed no sign of him blinking.
Luna did not stop glaring at Zeeta's body which continued to be drenched in blood. He did not care about his white hairy body slowly turning red, and immediately tried to close the wound on his chest as quickly as possible.
"Free, Spirit of Yggdrasil," said the Man, "he is but an evil Man who endangers the safety of the world with his magical abilities. His death right now was a salvation for all!"
With a tearful cry, Luna shouted, "Who are you really?!"
The man glared at Luna. "There is no obligation for me to answer the Spirit who conspires with criminals!"
