Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Promises in Escape

"Life is a sacred thing. It can't be looked at as black and white, Hugo."

Hugo's wide-eyed. He knows this voice. A voice that was so missed and so loved.

"Aps... Wh...." Even Jewel was unable to get his words out. His feelings for the voice he heard were similar to his sister's.

"Your life after that dark time .. your laughter, your tears, your anger .. means you live with me, Lucy, and Jewel.

"Because I, as your mother, am so grateful that you're alive!"

The arrival of Lucy aka Marianna, surprised the two Elves. Which one could not be felt at all, or the sound of footsteps, also went along in his shock.

“I-I's... Mother..?” Jewel for the umpteenth to shed tears. “This is you ... Mother..?”

“Zeeta told you, ‘kan, about me? You have also heard it from your sister,” Marianna replied.

“Ta-but how...? I... Mother is just...” Jewel didn't finish his words.

“If talked about it will be long, so I will show it to you guys. Look at my eyes!”

When they both saw Marianna's eyes, they saw a memory she had.

......................

A glance showed a curly red-haired woman resembling “bor” and a long unraveled golden-haired looking down. Around the two women were hundreds of people who looked around in circles. The two women and hundreds of people looked at the one man who was unable to move, Marianna. They were apparently at the execution site. That view was seen by Jewel and Hugo, which came from the memory of the mother.

An old man came to the execution area. He wanted to indict Marianna. "Marianna Aurora!" he exclaimed, "the nobles, the main nobles, including Queen Julia Aurora XIII have decided.

"Behold, your actions are worthless acts of self as a royal noble, also included as a form of treason against the land, because you are always silent about the taboo that has been done. Whatever your reason, Elves are beings who have given your ancestor, Clarissa Aurora IX, magic power.

"Having a descendant with the Elves who have given us, Humans, such a great power this time .. Don't you realize how humiliating you are as a royal noble?!”

“Hey, hey... he is the father of Princess Mary, Mr Elhart Braze, ‘kan? Does he seriously want to indict his own daughter?” ask the people of A.

“Are you stupid? If it's not like this, how can we trust them again! It's just nice that he doesn't hesitate on his own son!” reply of the people B.

“But ... what Princess Mary we know is shy, reserved, but always curious it dares to do this taboo thing..?” ask the people C.

“Didn't you hear what Mr Elhart said? Whatever the reason, he's guilty!” reply of the people B.

“With this...,” Elhart connected her charge, “the kingdom of Aurora has decided the punishment on you. As the punishment has been silence on this matter, Marianna Aurora, from this moment on, your status as the Princess Royal will be revoked, and the kingdom will mark you as the most taboo and humiliating person of the kingdom!

“Then, as a punishment on the taboo thing you have done....

"The kingdom has decided, to give the sentence of execution time.”

“Eh? Time execution...? What the fuck?” the people do not understand.

“Queen Julia Aurora XIII with Miss Audrey Alexandrita X, have made this punishment magic. This magic is magic that will confiscate, hold hostage, and torture the time the defendant has.

“Time is a precious thing for every creature. Time is a treasure. The accused will enter a world where time is meaningless. No one can find, talk to, or spend time with you. You won't be able to get out of it either.

“In other words, the time that your body, soul, and mental have will be locked up in that magic for an unlimited time.”

“So, yes, so Put—no, I mean Mary, the punishment is tantamount to the death penalty. Its existence is no longer in this world!” said people B.

Meanwhile, Marianna who was being charged did not dwell at all. With the chain handcuffs tied to his feet and hands, he did not dwell, nor protest, even though his own father claimed. Not only did he not smile, he smiled.

“Thank God. The three of them were not caught up in this matter. I don't care what happens to me, or what they say, even if it's my own family. I knew this ending would happen to me. At least Audrey.I hope you can keep your promise to me, that someday....

“Elf will truly be an ally of Aurora and help change the fate of the world, although there is little chance....

“Goodbye, Lucy, Jewel, Hugo…. Mother ... love you guys!”

Marianna was ready to part with her loved ones, until one day....

......................

“Haaah .. haah... haah Three kids ran as fast as they could. Even though they were barefooted, it did not change their speed and how scared their faces were. Marianna suddenly saw this scene.

“Kids…?! Why are they outside the Great Magic Forest?”

“Sir Lucy ... Why are the Humans chasing us?” tanya Jewel is holding Lucy and Hugo. He ran on the left.

“Ap... did we make a mistake..?”  ask Hugo who is running on the right.

“A-I don't know either! But anyway, we have to go back to the forest and meet Maisie!”

“U-uhm!” reply both.

Suddenly, though....

‘BLARR!’

An explosion occurred behind the three, causing them to bounce back and separate from each other's handrails.

“Jewel! Hugo!” lucy's scream that immediately woke up despite the blisters all over the body, checking the condition of her sisters.

“Sister Lucy...” Both are trying to wake up.

“Oi.... Are you really a tool that will be useful for the kingdom? A little boy?” a young man's voice sounded. He looked at the source of the sound.

A man riding and cloaked with Alexandrita—'s maple—emblem leaf emblem along with dozens of cavalry behind him shocked Jewel, Hugo, and Lucy. His troops brandished weapons resembling rifles at the three.

The frightened face immediately painted Jewel and Hugo. “Ka... Sister Lucy...!” scream both. Lucy responded to the scream and ran towards the two. He held them in his arms afterwards.

“Ke-why are you guys after us..?” Lucy looked at the robed young man with a frown and a hint of tears.

“HAAHHH?!” the young man's voice frightened Jewel and Hugo.

“Please calm both of you, I will definitely protect you!” Lucy's trying to win her sister over.

“What the fuck is that stare, you weird creature?! You guys are just tools, and I am the NOBLE Miss Audrey trusted as her squad commander to pick you up! I don't like that look and you don't show courtesy to NOBLES like me!

“Ah .. Now I understand what Miss Audrey means. Reason commands me ‘pickup’ you guys definitely mean ‘pick you guys up on ajal’!

"Yes, that's for sure!”

Lucy immediately felt a danger threatening the three, then instantly forced her two sisters to stand up. “Come, you two! Whatever happens, run!”

Jewel and Hugo begin to cry bitterly, then run away leaving Lucy alone. Meanwhile, as an older sister who holds a promise to her mother, Lucy plows herself in and stares angrily at the Man before her, before finally catching up with her younger siblings.

“You guys think you can just walk away after insulting me with that look, huh?!” the young man created a magic circle behind him. Its size made the troops in disbelief.

“Tu-Master Bors! They're just little kids, should you waste your magic this much?” ask one of his men.

“They are the tools that Princess Marianna produced. Who knows what they can do? Miss Audrey said they'd be good partners for the kingdom, but she must be wrong!

"The Great Companion of Aurora must not have the will to resist like that child!”

The soldiers could only silence and avert their eyes, while the three small Elves continued to run.

“Taste this, you despicable creature!” Bors launches a lightning magic ball attack on the three.

Lucy did not stay still as soon as her magic ball approached them. He pushed his two sisters' hands forward to push, flipped his body back, then turned the magic ball to his master, then pulled his two sisters' hands back to keep running.

“Already suspected! Go after the three creatures and don't give them mercy! Once you find them, shoot them immediately!” bors' orders.

“Good!” the cavalry soon dispersed.

Shot after shot, explosion after explosion, continued to haunt the runaway three little Elves. Lucy who continues to protect her two younger siblings is now covered in blood. The forehead, the legs, especially the hands that were always used to fend off, so much blood. They kept running and kept running, until now they took cover behind a giant tree.

“Sister Lucy... You bleed a lot...” Hugo crying.

“Ak... I will also come up against!” exciting Jewel.

“No! Can't!” hatch Lucy. The bloody forehead that forced Lucy to close one eye scared Jewel. “We have arrived! It had already become the Astray Land. They won't be able to come any closer if we make it in!

“Don't waste your magic on them or they'll learn that magic to retaliate!”

“Ke-why will they reply?! Those who started all this and after all we are not at all wrong!”

“Just listen to me and follow me, Jewel, Hugo!

“I promised my mother to protect you! Whatever happens I will protect you! Even if I lose a hand, a leg, or a life.I will protect you, because I promised!

“What you always tell me, you have to protect your sister. Mother also said, sister should receive that protection and be happy for her brother.

“Please promise me, my brothers. Live for your happiness, because it will also make me happy....

“Urk Lucy groans in pain.

“Sister Lucy...” Jewel and Hugo did not stop crying. But the crying was not allowed to continue for longer.

“That's them!” the horsemen found them. The three Elves immediately stood up and prepared to run.

“What is this tree?” Bors came in later. He tried to see the end of the tree, but his efforts were in vain. “Why is a tree of this size not visible from the outside? Ah, stupid with that! What are you guys doing? Shoot them dead soon!”

“Good!”

‘PEW! PEW'S! PEW!’

Shot after shot from a rifle, along with shots from magic, were fired by the troops.

“Come, Sister Lucy!” Jewel pulls Lucy's hand, but Lucy is petrified. “Sister Lucy?”

“Jewel, I changed my mind. If this keeps up, I don't think there's an end to it. When we get into Astray Land, there is still a possibility that the Human named Bors is aware of its peculiarities.

“Go with Hugo, I'll finish them off.”

Both surprised. They're wide-eyed about Lucy's serious look.

“No! We can survive three more soon! You don't have to do it, Lucy!”

“I told you, I'll protect you. I don't intend to leave you guys, just calm down.”

“....”

“Alright!”

“Ka-Kak Jewel?!” Hugo did not expect his second brother to be one voice.

“But make sure you come back! If you don't come back in five minutes, I'll catch up with you!”

Lucy quiet. He lowered his head. “Come, Jewel! Now! Run and don't look back!”

“Come, Hugo!” Jewel pulls Hugo's hand.

“Cih, what a stubborn tree! Strong magic doesn't scratch it!” furious Bors.

“That's them! They're running! Chase it! Chase it! Chase!” one team found Hugo and Jewel running hand in hand.

“Congratulations.. yes..?” murmured Lucy, “I want it too....

“I didn't expect the magic to be this strong.it felt like I wanted to cry as hard as I could. My hands hurt so much. My leg was stabbed, my head was dizzy....

“Sorry, yes, Mother....

“Sorry, yes, Hugo, Jewel.... We'll split up.” Shortly after, Lucy fell into a collapsed position.

Once again the Elf was chased and haunted by gunfire and explosions. They kept running until the end….

‘BWUMM!’

“Aaaaah!” the two are thrown by a magic explosion from behind and end up slamming into a Chronos tree. Jewel protected Hugo with his back. From their current position, they could see that dozens of cavalrymen were still chasing them.

“Kak Jewel Hugo clutches Jewel.

“Take it easy, I will definitely protect you, just like Sister Lucy did.” Jewel is holding Hugo.

Shortly thereafter....

“U-uwaaah!”

Both are going backwards. They entered the Chronos tree.

“A-what happened?!” Jewel tried to touch her surroundings. “Po-tree?” then the two could see what was happening from within, which immediately made their eyes widen.

“Ka... Brother Lu... cy..?” mummy Jewel. Meanwhile Hugo trembled in fear and grew wide with his cries.

“Cih! They got away, did they?!” says Bors, “yah, so be it. The important thing is we've got this one despicable child. Come back, and show Miss Audrey this win!”

Jewel and Hugo see Lucy lying limp on Bors' horse. He showed no signs of movement.

“They...” Jewel's gaze changed. Hates. His gaze was filled with hatred. “They killed him! Kkkhh... Fucking humans!

“Hugo! Stay right here! I will repay them!”

Jewel who was about to come out tried to suppress the tree, but could not. “A-what?!” he tried it again. “Cih... Let me go, tree! I can't let them go without replying!” Jewel continued to press, but the tree did not twitch.

“LUCY IS MY SISTER! WHERE CAN I STAY SILENT!” snapped Jewel to surprise Hugo as well.

Then slowly, the tree opened itself, let Jewel go, then closed it again—hide Hugo. While Hugo was looking at this second brother of his, it was silent a thousand languages.

As soon as she came out, Jewel immediately gave rise to balls of various colors such as red, green, blue, yellow, and black with its luster. The ball was about the size of a hand grip that was behind his back. He took the green-colored ball forward, then….

‘ZRSHT!’

Dozens of spiky ground pierced the troops including Bors. Blood soaked the horse and instantly frightened them and left the rider to fall, get stabbed, or remain carried on his back. Bors was one of those who fell. Lucy also fell.

“Barthy child...!” unlike his troops who were stabbed to death, Bors was still alive with blood flowing from his mouth. He formed his index finger and left thumb to resemble a gun. Seeing what Bors was about to do, Jewel ran back to the tree, however....

‘DOR!’

Suddenly, Jewel fell with a gunshot wound to his left abdomen.

“KAK JEWEL!” Hugo was pounding his tree from the inside.

Hearing Hugo's voice, Bors turned wide. “So that's where you're hiding, huh?! It's good you guys are hiding but you're willing to be killed?!

“Alright, I'm happy to do it! I will not let this great me die because of a brash little boy like you!”

‘DOR DOR!’

Hugo, who was also heard by Jewel, kept telling him to run. “Run, Hugo... lari—“ suddenly did not hear his voice after the shot hit the tree, he was wide. With all her might, Jewel turned her face.

The upset cry of Jewel made Bors cringe. “HAHAHAHA! That face! That face is what the tool deserves to show!”

Shortly thereafter, unable to reply, Jewel turned a blind eye.

“HAHAHA I won! I won! Miss Audrey, this win I present to—“

‘KRAAKK’

Bors head is rotated 360 degrees. Maisie came shortly after. “Damn it! I'm late! Very late! Mary... i...”.

......................

“Execute the punishment!” Julia's orders.

Through the Magic Book that emerged from the podium where Elhart stood, time magic appeared to execute Marianna. However, in those moments....

The ground rumbles, the sky thunders. The crowd suddenly panicked, Elhart, Audrey and Julia were wide-eyed.

"JULIA!

"AUDREEY!

"I'M NOT FORGIVING YOU!

"I will definitely avenge this!

"I will change this broken world with my own hands!”

Marianna's gaze slowly dimmed by something covering up.

"CUT these words for you too, Feline, Morgan! When I return, I will definitely DESTROY all the Elves that are there!

"DEFINITELY!"
