Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Existence of Each Expeditionary Team
Green hills with rivers flowing quietly along the way, accompany the journey of Gerda and Serina towards the village that was destroyed by something. They believed, the ruined village was previously a place where one of the Soul Stones was guarded. It was possible, hoping they, could find one-two clues there.
“Haaah .. haaahh ... HAAAAHHH..!” Gerda exhaled heavily, as if she could not accept what she had to go through now. Even so, the pale blonde-haired Elf accompanying him did not budge at all.
"Jeez ... What exactly are you doing from earlier, Serina?” connect Gerda, “I'm following you because you said you felt like there was a strange trail around here, but ... Aren't we just circling around in the same place?” Gerda asked as she followed Serina from behind.
The hills they passed could actually be passed easily if they kept flying in the air—the way that was used before Serina realized there was a strange trail at some point of hill—which inevitably had to them investigate one by one.
“Turning?” ask Serina, “maybe you're right.”
Gerda immediately stopped and immediately wanted to explode her emotions. “Do not be—“
“I won't know of any trace of Easterners if we don't twist around.” Serina shows a shard of armor on the ground hidden by the grass.
“Ba-how did you know it was there?” gerda asked, taking a shard of armor and looking at it more thoroughly.
“You can count on me if the search problem is like this. This is my field. Fight I can too, but I hope you don't leave me.”
Gerda answered with a smile. “Leaving you? If your attitude is not too annoying, know yourself, and want to explain to me about what you are doing, unlike a noble I know very well, take it easy!”
Serina also replied to Gerda with a smile. “Although, you still love Zeeta, yes.”
Gerda immediately blushed. “Ha-hah?! Wh-who said this has something to do with Zeeta?!”
Serina chuckled at Gerda's reply. “Alright,” said, “we've had a joke, our destination is still a little time-consuming. But as we expected, the Eastern country did take the Soul Stone from that destroyed village.”
“Uhm,” reply Gerda, “I understand!”

[In one of the locations where the Soul Stone is visible.].
Beach.
Seas.
The vast ocean.
The part of Earth that dominates the planet the most is something like jewels, treasures, gold, gold, or other valuables that have never been seen before—so make two people who stand in the sand that hoards both feet it never stops staring at how wide “hampan air” in front them.
A spear struck to the left of someone from them—a long wavy blonde-haired Elf woman. The elf had many scars on the skin and had muscles that were stocky enough for a woman's size. Another was an eighteen-year-old man with long, thick red hair.
Even though one of the two is male, it still is. What they see is very valuable and the first time in life. Not surprisingly, both of them almost shed tears.
“Who would have thought...,” said Elf woman, Jourgan, “air can be as much as this!”
“I only know from mom's collection book,” replied the redhead man, Danny, “but I never thought it would be so beautiful...”.
Time passed only for both of them to be grateful and enjoy what they found today. Then, they realized something very important.
“Hei." Jourgan. "How about...," he continued, "the way we go to where the Soul Stone is, if we can't swim?”
However, the reaction given Danny is not in line with Jourgan.
“Eh?” ask Danny.
“Eh?” The confused Jourgan, asked back.
“Eh?”
“A-what do you mean?”
“I-I hope I was wrong because you are a very strong Elf warrior, also valiant, and I respect you a lot, but don't-don't ... You can't swim..?”.
Jourgan ducked down immediately after hearing it. Quickly, he thrust his spear into Danny's neck.
“U-uwah!” erang Danny was so evasive. “A-what are you doing? Danger, know!”
“Be-noisy!" Jourgan hides a red-cheek hue with her hair. “What's wrong if I can't do a thing or two?!
“Again, if you want to get into the water, we only need to coat the body with bubble-like magic, right?”
“Maybe you and I can defeat that Kraken, but don't forget the possibility that it is the one protecting his Soul Stone!”
“Gnnn...” Jourgan. “You're right. We can't just solve this problem. I'm sorry.”
“A-I also apologize, for being insensitive.... I shouldn't have said it if you couldn't bere—“
“Already, forget about it!” Jourgan tukas.

[At the other end, Colette and Lloyd.].
Both of them stood while looking at the location where their destination Soul Stone was—, a cave with endless depth and pitch black. Moreover, they arrived in front of the cave when the day before night, the cold temperature was not main—which not only came from the wind, also from the direction of the cave, no matter what the reason, no matter the reason, I don't want to attack both.
“There is no other way,” said Lloyd gave the idea, “I will make a barrier field in there.” He pointed to the inside of the cave. “And you'll make it here." He pointed to where they were standing. “We will spend the night first,” he concluded.
“Good idea. Let's do it,” Colette replied, “I don't think the distance is very far south of Aurora. It is fitting that Princess Zeeta always forces us to have more stamina.

At the same time, Novalius, Marcus, and Mintia, were in quite a strange place. The ground they were treading at this moment was no different from what they were used to, but one step ahead, all was snow. Not only that, the sky was split in two. Where dusk on one side and the other side is the sky with the color of fog that envelops. Strong winds that blow snow also add to the extreme impression there.
“Do you guys think about what I think?” ask Mintia.
“Trap,” replied Marcus briefly.
“Atau may indeed be the climate like this,” added Novalius.
Mintia nodded. “Both are very likely, but..” He crouched down and looked at the snow
with a pinch and then rubbing it. “Either what kind of thing is waiting for us ahead there, it is unmistakable we will be difficult to communicate or hope to be able to get out and step on this land if not careful.
“Report this, I will prepare what we at least need there.”
Marcus and Novalius nodded, immediately carrying out their friend's orders. However, none of them realized that from a distance within the snowstorm, there was a pair of red eyes watching.

Night, is the time when Mellynda and Azure arrive at their destination, the creepy place, which makes my hair stand up as soon as I see it. Not only was there no trace of life in the village that they found, the blowing cold also accompanied the horror of the place.
“Ka-Kak Azure..?” call Mellynda. He clasped Azure's left arm very tightly, as if he didn't want to get away from it.
“What?” azure asked, who was completely unaffected by the gripping atmosphere.
“A-a-a-what's really our goal here? N-don't you think it's too weird to put a Soul Stone in such a creepy place?”
“You're right. It's weird.” Azure glanced at his right and left. “There are no signs of life at all... This village is like being abandoned for decades...”.
“Na-naah... ka-then, let's back off first, overnight, then back again tomorrow, how about? Ma-night-night like this, cold like this, I'm sure will complicate our search...”.
Azure frowned, glancing again right and left. “... yes ... you're right.”
Not long after, they turned around and looked for a place to spend the night. As soon as they started walking, the two heard chuckling laughter. Responding to it, Mellynda immediately hysterically—screamed as loud as she could and ran around leaving Azure alone.
As if unaffected, Azure just walked as usual leaving the super creepy village.
