[POV Scarlett.]
"I have dedicated my life to protecting the will my ancestors have inherited. That will is Zeeta, my granddaughter who is now a teenager. It was a pity that I could not be present in his childhood, but after seeing him instantly he grew healthy like this....
"That's enough to make me proud.
"Of course, the more he grows, the more he learns about the world and its role. If I aligned Feline's prediction with the current chain of events, at some point in the previous years, Zeeta would have destroyed the world, but still do not rule out the possibility if when he grew up the decision he took.
"If he's a descendant of the moon from me and the sun from Karim, it's more than enough for him to make the mountains erupt—if he's really serious.
"But the truth....
"Many of us—Humans of my time, Alicia, and of course Zeeta, who knew this world was broken. The world ruled by magic itself is broken. From time to time, my ancestors also must have realized why Zeeta wanted to do it.
"But now, Zeeta is being blocked by a new wall again. This wall was much harder to pass through than the wall he had smashed before.
"During my time in Fyrriheim, I studied some facts from the four dimensional worlds of Galkrie.
"When Yggdrasil rose, the three worlds that had split apart individually—Drekaheim, Jotunnheim, and Galdurheim— would become one, and then there would be a world where Humans, Elves, Dragons, Giants, were born again, and many other magical creatures coexist.
"Then, what about Fyrriheim?
"Even if Galkrie says that this world is a stand-alone world, other than the fact that we can't interact with people other than himself, it's a lie.
"Fyrriheim is simply a 'memory fragment' from Yggdrasil. Everything that happens here always repeats itself indefinitely. If we—the inhabitants of Galdurheim interact with them, what will happen?
"simple. The answer is, we become part of the memory fragment that—which will repeatedly do the same loop.
"As long as I've been here, I've never seen a change of times. The people who died, then passed through the Land of Death, then guided Galkrie towards the Valley of Souls, the same.
"Lantas, why does Galkrie seem like part of Yggdrasil's memory, but at the same time he has his own consciousness?
"I need time to answer, and that answer is...."
......................
"Sheeta...." Galkrie. "I'm just ordering one for you. Be the owner of the power of the moon that you will never regret!"
"Galkrie...?" Zeeta frowned.
"Cube a question to you, Zeeta Aurora." Galkrie's eyes suddenly shone blue, the ground was rumbling. The old and wrinkled body of him suddenly swathed in black smoke sparkling white. He was like an old man clad in shining blue-eyed black smoke. The meek impression on his guests seemed to just disappear.
"Why can I know so many things about this world, knowing the power of the moon, Spirit, Spirit, even to the breaking of Yggdrasil has other ins and outs? Aren't you curious about that?"
"You were ... a resident when Yggdrasil was still around, weren't you?" reply Zeeta.
"really. Then, why don't I hesitate to tell you a lot about him?"
"On that...." Zeeta is lost to answer.
"Seele told you to see what's going on here, and then decide."
"uhm. That's right."
"Then look at it. See and decide, for what is the meaning of your life with the power of the Goddess...!"
From Galkrie to the entire Land of Death, like paper crumpled in the sight of Zeeta and Ashley, they are distorted to a time, where around them is a desert on a cold night.
There, there was a group of humans with leather tents sewn with other skins as houses. They arranged the tents in a circle and in the middle there was a bonfire. There was a man, a woman, and a little girl getting closer to the fire. They leaned against each other while covering themselves.
"Hey, Dad...why can't we use magic like Dragons, Giants, or something else? If we can, we don't have to be cold like this, do we?" ask the little girl. This girl has blonde hair with two pigtails, and pretty blue eyes.
"Ars, we don't need magic to survive. Indeed, we have difficulties like today, but the difficulties we pass tonight, will be a lesson for us tomorrow so as not to linger while bathing in the river," replied the Father, who was not, the dark purple-haired, blue-eyed, and curtain-haired model with a slight sideburn.
"eek....
"Sorry, Dad, this is all my fault."
"Gala! You don't have to insinuate him like that! Poor Ars, he just wants to take a shower! How many days do you think we haven't found water as clear as it was?!" lamented The Mother. It is very similar to Ars. It's just that his hair is curly and short.
"Haaahs.... Flare, you spoiled her too much. In that case, Ars can't lead our tribe to bear with all the creatures in the world!"
"If only I could clean up, I wouldn't have to linger in the shower, not have to be cold, not have to be scolded, and not have to hear Dad and Mom fighting." Ars murmured.
"Ars!" snapped Gala.
Ars glanced at his father.
"Human—we must not desire like that! No matter how powerful magic is, humans cannot use magic!"
"Why? Our lives can be better than this!
"We need not hunger, nor thirst, nor cold, while all other beings live in peace!
"We also don't even have to wait our turn on the Giant and Dragon just to forage!"
Ars takes all his emotions out. His loud screams made the people in the tent who were resting out. "Ars, what's up, screaming like that?" ask the average person.
"No, I'm just upset with Dad!" reply Ars.
People glanced at Gala. "Heah.... Even a child seems to have realized what is wrong. It's time for you to realize this decision of yours, Elder!"
Gala stand. "All of you continue to rest. Our journey is still long. Ars, you come with me." Gala is holding Ars out of range of the campfire.

"Ars, whatever you say, humans can't use magic. We can live as is—"
"Then keep silent when we are impaled by Dragons and Giants!?"
Gala stared sadly at her son who could be like that at his young age. Gala knelt down and clasped her son's shoulders.
"Barusan, you're feeling really annoyed at me, aren't you, because I'm the incompetent Father and Elder?
"I'll tell you one thing. That feeling is what makes humans dangerous if they can use magic, Ars."
Ars frowned. "What does that mean?"
"Dad can't use magic, but Dad is a Human who can learn, think, and adapt, just like you.
"Remember the conduct of all beings who meet us. Have those who show us magic fangs ever been kind to us?"
"No! Absolutely never! When we just want to ask for a little bit of water to drink, or even for Miss Lexa and Dik Polka who are babies, they don't give it!"
"That's what I mean. You want to avenge their actions, are you wrong?"
"If you don't want to, that's what's wrong, Dad!"
"Listen and understand this, Ars. Magic is a force that can make everything happen. If we, Humans, can use it, we will definitely repay the deeds they have done to us.
"So-about it .. maybe—"
"Surely they return the favor!" gala said, "then, is peace for us to be present once we can use magic?
"No, Ars! The answer is no!
"Humans will only be victims of more creature cruelty! Not only by Dragons or Giants, other creatures that we have never seen before are also bound to side with them!"
"Why can that be?! We just want to live a quiet life!"
Gala took off his grip on Ars' shoulder. He pointed to a tree larger than the word giant.
"Because the Dragon and the Giant are under Yggdrasil's protection. Only a foolish creature would turn to show fangs on the Tree of Life. If Yggdrasil wills, our own existence can be lost as fast as lightning, that's the danger of magic, son!
"Do you understand?"
Ars was immediately frightened and then slowly sobbed. "Then what should we do?! Are we always going to be outsmarted by beings who have magic?! Are those of us who don't have magic the wrong thing?! Then why are we in this world?!" Ars hugged his father.
"You don't have to think about that, my daughter. Let me, Elder, think about it. Now, go back to your mother and sleep. Tomorrow, our journey will be greeted by the sun."
After persuading and calming Ars while stroking his hair, he was left alone by Ars who returned to his mother's warm embrace.
"...." - ".Gala was silent while looking at the moon.
"Damn it, what is the Tree of Life? Damn it!" he kicked the sand. Then, look at something in the corner of his eye. "Oh? The oasis? Why didn't we realize it? I have to tell them." When Gala wanted to return to her group, she came to a halt.
"No, maybe it's a trap. It could have been just magic that deliberately wanted to separate me from my group. I have to make sure first, then I'll tell them."
Gala rudirqn walking alone towards the oasis.
"Fufufu, as the boy said, you humans are of absolutely no use living in this magical world.... With a few pleasantries with Dragons and Giants, we, Elves, can easily convince them to eliminate you....
"Gala.. whenever they meet you, you can avoid the worst-case scenario for your group with your shrewdness. But now, I'm...."
The four-winged and mini—-bodied magic creature has a foul-smelling scheme for humans that it sees from the height of the sky. The fairy dropped the mana grains from the wings in pink. Then he closed his eyes.
"You are the last group of Humans that can survive the grasp of our hands! The world does not need humans! Man is but the destroyer of beauty, elegance, and majesty of Yggdrasil!
"Come away with that unrequited hatred...." The pink elf smirked wickedly.
The ground shook like a great earthquake. The gala that had not even reached the oasis, came to a halt and turned its head. When he was about to turn his head, he saw that the oasis was just an optical illusion magic. "Kuh, dammit!
"GOV, FLARE! EVERYBODY!!!"
With all his strength fast, Gala shouted as she continued to run.
"COME!
"Run from there! The giant... Giant has da—"
Gala stalled just like that, sculpting after seeing what greeted her from behind the desert hemisphere.
Five Giant, seven Dragons. Their size was tens of times that of a Human, instantly making Gala desperate. "Why.... is there.... that much...?!"
Unable to do anything but look at his group in plain sight, Gala gaped. The people behind the tents immediately scattered like threatened ants. Without a care for anything else, one by one they were gripped by the Giant. The fragile bodies of those humans were immediately crushed like porridge in the absence of any meaningful resistance.
"He-stop! Stop it, HOI!!" even so, Gala still could not move her legs. "Move, fucking leg! There's no time for you to be afraid! Ars da Flare is in danger! Move those stupid feet!"
"Yeahhagh!
"No! I don't want ma—"
"Damn it! Goddamnit! Why is this happening to meuu... uaaghk!"
"Ibuuuu, nooo!!"
Scream after scream, Gala experienced a very cruel hell. More cruel than his life before this moment. He lowered his head while tightly closing his ears.
"Yeahah!"
Gala. "Ars?! Ars! You survived?!" seeing a glimmer of hope run at him, he finally could move his legs.
"Dad, please! Mother.. mother.. mother already...!" the look of his face and the cry of this glimmer of hope immediately understood Gala.
"Ti.. isn't possible, is it...?" he fell to his knees.
"Dad, we have to run! We can't survive if we just shut up!"
"That's right, savage man! You can't run!" someone came from the sky with black Dragon wings. His skin was filled with scales, his eyes were sharp like needles. Gala can't do anything. At the same time, the Giants and Dragons approached these last two humans.
"Currently, Feline is sneaky. He did not want to dirty his hands" said one of the giants.
"The series was supported by Yggdrasil. His words that say this Man mocks Yggdrasil, must be cut off."
Gala.
"Hmm? I came only because Yggdrasil commanded me. What exactly did this savage Man say?" asked the winged man and the Dragon's scales.
"Yggdrasil is a crazy, unfair, rotten tree, and all that follows is rubbish!" a person's voice sounded from the sky.
"WHO WOULD DARE TO MOCK YGGDRASIL LIKE THAT, HUH?!" quickly, the winged person and the Dragon scales spewed a purplish blue flame flowing electricity into the sky.
"Hey, danger, you know! It's me!" exclaim Feline, identity of voice. "I'm just following the words of the Man I heard not too long ago!" continued.
Ars and Gala were shocked to death to hear it.
"HOOO...?!" the head vein appeared on the temple of the Dragon man. "You should've told me it was you, Feline. I don't have to waste anywhere."
"No! We never say anything like that!" objection Ars.
"That's right! We won't be able to fight you, why do such a stupid thing!?" timpal Gala's.
The Dragon Man realized that there was a child in front of him.
"Come, Son. Tell me what's going on. I'll listen to everything you're gonna say." The man removed his wings, bent his knees and stretched out his arms. He smiles.
Doubtful, Ars saw Gala. "Let me go with him, Dragon Lord!" exciting Gala.
The Man's smile just crumbled. "No. Come here, boy, or I'll kill you." The sharp gaze from his Dragon eyes was life-threatening and mentally threatening to them in the blink of an eye.
"Ba-good! I-I'm going 'to-there!" not stop shaking, Ars struggled and struggled to conquer the fear that had been in its limits.
As soon as Ars is right in arm's range....
Feline smiled, The Dragon Man smiled, the Giants smiled. Realizing this oddity, Gala was wide-eyed. Not thinking of anything that would happen, he ran as fast as he could while shouting, "AAARRSSS!!!!"
'ZRGHK BRRTT 'ZRASSHT!'
Gala fell in the sand, crying followed.
"HUHAHAHA! This is proof of human stupidity! They should have run away instead of dedicating themselves to die like this!
"Well, what a delicious blood."
