Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Turning Point 2's
[Land of Death.].
In a place that flows longer than the outside world, there are three descendants of Aurora and a loyal "servant" of two, a special forces soldier, and a Princess who in the future is not entitled to receive the throne. They were all gathered together, in the middle of a dead forest.
Porte, as a royal servant who had sworn allegiance under the names Scarlet and Zeeta, was reunited with her eldest daughter, Mellynda. There was no wound or anything to worry about from him, but only one question arose on both; how to make Mellynda—more precisely the soul that was accidentally kidnapped to this Land of Death—can return to his body?
Meanwhile, in line with Porte and Mellynda, the same thing is done by Scarlet, Zeeta, and Azure. Although Azure is not Scarlet's granddaughter, she still considers her a precious family. Remembering, he had also told many things through Zeeta's own mouth about how valuable Azure was to him.
However, excluding all those from Aurora's kingdom, only one of them, Belle Vianna, sat away from them. “Cih. Goddamnit! Everyone has someone who can make them smile!
“Why should I be here with them?!
“Why did I also abandon my intention to kill Zeeta?
“This is all ... must be because the woman with crazy strength earlier had suddenly appeared...”.

[POV Belle.]
My parents ... Edouard and Estella had been guarding this Land of Death for two hundred years. They had long aged, like Elves, in addition to the flow of time here longer, also because of something like 'special rights' that both of them had, in order to be more free to guard the Land and Valley of Souls.
In the past, who was in charge of guarding the Valley of Souls and kept watch over the flow of souls who had been to the Valley, then returned to the world and became where, was my mother, Estella.
Meanwhile, my father Edouard, was in charge of picking up the souls of the dead and on the verge of death, along with the Flakkas.
I, Belle Vianna, was born twenty-five years ago. From them I knew that I too would be as old as them because I had the same task. We all have no problem living in this Land of Death, because despite the task that binds my parents, they can still move freely in the outside world.
They can still interact with outsiders, shop for their daily needs, and other things to live. I was too. I understood how different the Land of Death and the outside world was, because I was once invited to interact with its people.
Especially ... those from the village whose inhabitants I killed ... The Rhongomyniad.
All our lives were peaceful, my parents were always doing their duty, but everything changed when that person came suddenly....
......................
[Fifteen years ago.].
Estella, a long black-haired woman with greenish-yellow eyes, was guarding the Valley of Souls, and speeding the way of souls to plunge from its Oxen, and speeding up the mana cycle.
Meanwhile, in the Land of the Dead, ten-year-old Edouard and Belle looked at Estella from a distance. A question asked by the Little One. “Dad, why should you always guard the Valley of Souls? If she can leave him to go out shopping and other things, mom doesn't have to always be there, ‘ right?”
Edouard, still handsome and young, with brown hair and red eyes, adorned with a thin beard and mustache, answered the only child. “Your mother has a very important role.
“Mother has a power that can accelerate the cycle of the return of the souls to become mana. With her strength, your mother could see what those souls should be when they turn into mana.
“I mean, everything in the outer world realm, has its own mana. Plants, animals, everything. With that mana, this magical world could walk.
“Therefore, the role of your mother is very important. It was like a knife. There are blunt sides, some are sharp. Besides it can be used as a crime, where it can also be used for good.
“But, the tasks of the three of us will be completed, when the words of Yggdrasil arrive in time. You still remember what Yggdrasil is, don't you?”
“Uhm!” Belle Vianna, with the black hair of her mother and the red eyes of her father, nodded vigorously, also with a wide smile.
Edouard stroked Belle's head. “Our ancestors who have been guarding the Land of Death and the Valley of Souls, have always said this for generations.
“’Two of these places are there for the end of it all. Keep the mana cycle, so that the three worlds can remain balanced, until the last day arrives.’
“Then, this necklace..” Edouard pointed at the necklace on his daughter's chest. “This necklace is a fragment of the moon, which you will understand later. This necklace has the power to show the past and give us the right to decide something.
“And that thing is ... ’What steps will you take? Is it destruction? Of peace? Or the void?’
“It's okay if you don't understand, my dear Belle, because later you will understand yourself.
“What is sure is my son, always remember and promise us. Whatever happens, take care of this Land of Death and Valley of Souls.”
Belle smiled, accompanied by her sparkling eyes. “Uhm! I don't really understand, but .. If I keep my word, can we play more in the outside world? There is one place I would love to visit with you!”
“Hahahaha, of course!” Edouard stroked his daughter's hair.
“Alright, I promise!”
.

.

But....
All of a sudden, without any sign....
A purplish black spiral hole appeared near the two. Edouard, immediately turned his back on his son and told him to hide behind the forest. Of course, from the height of the Valley, Estella knew what was happening. But he remained there and watched.
A black haired woman emerged from behind the black hole. Of course seeing it, Edouard and Estella were extremely shocked. Moreover, he wore moon earrings similar to the necklace of the family.
“At last I can go into this age,” said the woman, who floated a few inches above dry land.
“ARE YOU CRAZY?!” edouard's scream, which was immediately responded to the forehead squeak of the Woman.
Kernyitan The Woman then disappeared, when she saw the necklace Edouard. “I am the Ruler of Darkness. Destruction is my decision.”
“A-what did you say..?!” Edouard was shivering as the woman approached him.
“My husband!” jest Estella, who soon follows.
Estella's greenish-yellow eyes, looking at the flow of mana from the Woman. Suddenly, Estella vomited on the spot, leaving Edouard wondering. Estella saw how terrible it was to have the Woman.
Ignoring Estella, the Black-haired and moody Woman immediately said, “So, the Earthkeeper of Death and the Valley of Souls of this world is still you.?”.
“What exactly do you want?! Why did you choose the path of destruction?! If you're a lunar descendant like my wife, then tell me the reason!” exciting Edouard.
The woman closed her sky blue eyes. “Good. Since the flow of time in this place is long .. why not.” He then posed seated, but floated in the air. “In short, I'm fed up with this magical world. Everything near me is dead.
“Magic beings, as well as the Phantasmal I know, are all dead.
“Whose ways?
“I. I'm the cause.
“But, Yggdrasil betrayed me. After all the sacrifices I made, the lives that had been trampled and sacrificed for my success, seemed to be of no use to that bastard tree.”
“A-what do you mean...?” Edouard continued to embrace Estella, who was also listening.
“When I managed to raise the tree, they suddenly dumped me, in a world without anything. I was thrown into nothingness, without life, even the voice.
“Don't you think that's excessive?
“Thousands of years Aurora traveled to raise Yggdrasil, all dead souls to this place, as if they never existed. I, who inherited all your willpower, desires, and hopes, ended up being banished.
“But, that's okay. I'm used to it. Nothing else can make me stop. I will avenge this, on a person who should not exist from the beginning, and SHOULD NOT CARE ABOUT THIS WORLD OF BASTARDS!”
Suddenly, the necklace of her third moon shone brightly, then pushed the Black-Haired Woman back into the spiral circle that since her arrival was still there.
“Sialang. My time is up?!
“Thank you, oh my Aurora partner! Because of your sacrifice, this world will definitely be saved!” The Black-haired woman pointed her left hand at Estella.
“A-what is—“ unfinished Edouard spoke, he was wide-eyed by what happened to his wife.
“E-Edoua..”.
“FARAT!!!” Edouard immediately cleared, casting dark magic from his eyes—agar to destroy the hand that had just attacked his wife.
‘BLARTT!’
The woman's left hand immediately shattered apart, shedding an awful lot of blood.
“Already expected from Aurora, but, you are nothing from Azure!” with his right hand, he did the same thing towards Edouard, as he did to Estella.
Edouard's body slowly aged, but he quickly gritted his teeth. “Oh Seele in my necklace! Help me with your strength! This world is in grave danger if I disappear from the Land of Death!
“It's okay if I'm just a soul, but don't let me die before the last day really comes! Whatever the payment, I'll give it to you!”
Edouard's moon necklace glowed red. Responding to the request of the wearer, his aging self was successfully stopped, but....
“Aaaaagghhh!” a loud scream sounded from the direction of the forest.
“Be-Belle...?!”
With his eyes, despite being a long distance away, Edouard could see his son. The necklace on his daughter's chest glowed. Belle's small body that was previously filled with fresh blood, slowly paled. His lips were blackened, his teeth were tapered like a carnivore. His red eyes darkened even more, like the color of blood.
“Ka-kalian .. asked for my safety change, by cursing my daughter...?!”
“Hahhahaahaha!” The Black-Haired Woman laughed. He did not care if half of his body had been sucked into his spiral circle again. “Although you are not dead, it will not replace the fact that the Land of Death and the Valley of Souls will no longer exist.”.
Edouard only realized that his body was now translucent. The payment that Edouard had to replace to stop everything that happened so quickly, it was not suspected that it would be very large and detrimental like this....
.
.
.
.
When everything was calm enough... Edouard explained what happened to Belle, though the little boy finally cried very loudly, profusely, and bitterly when he found out his mother was dead, her condition now, she said, his father could not do much either.
“Sorry, Son.... Forgive your father who couldn't protect you.. I ... i...!” Whatever Edouard does, it's free. She wanted to hug her daughter, but her body immediately pierced through her. It made him even more sad, upset, and resentful of his own weakness.
“Sial... shit!”
.
.
.
.
A few days later, with a duster and dark circles in her eyes, Belle approached her father, who was still watching over the Valley of Souls from a distance, though her cycle was slowing down. “Dad, I'll find food to Rhon.” village Belle said it in a flat tone.
“Beware.”
“Uhm.”
Edouard did not see his daughter's departure. He was drowning in thought. "I have to make Belle Estella's successor and help me. Otherwise, the woman's words before she disappeared would have come true...."
It's been twenty minutes since Belle left and she hasn't returned. Of course this made Edouard who had been watching over the Valley of Souls, disturbed. He soon came to ponds reflecting the outside world, including the village of Rhongomyniad.
How surprised he was when he saw it....
“Be-Belle...?! What have you done...?!”.
Edouard saw his two hands covered in blood. His nails sharpened, as well as a wide grin, which showed how much he enjoyed what he was doing. The bodies were scattered like miniature mountain replicas. Of the many people he killed with both hands, Belle piled them in the same place. The blood of those who died, poured out as if nonstop, and turned the ground into a pool of red like a river.
Everyone Belle killed was seriously injured. Some lose their hands, feet, head, or heart that is instantly destroyed, their stomach is damaged, and others. Everything he did, in no way reflected the actions of a ten-year-old child.
In the pond, Edouard also saw that there were still people hiding behind their respective residences, overwhelmed by a great fear. There were some of them who were still the same age as Belle, and all of them were crying and trying not to make a sound.
With his usual staff to watch over anyone in the dead and dying outside world, passed down from generation to generation, he tried to open the gates to the outside world, but it can't.
“Why?!
“Why can't I get out?! Belle ... Belle middle...!”
Edouard freaked out not play. His breath was also stifling. Not long from his pool, he heard his daughter hysterical.
“AHAHAHAHA, this is the result! You called me a monster, threw stones at me....
"WHAT'S MY FAULT WITH YOU?!
*I just want to buy food....
“I ... just want ... food!
“WHY are you trying to kill me?! I told you I'm like this, not because of my wishes! I am cursed ... because WRONG is my father!”
How painful Edouard was to hear that from his own son's mouth. He took off his wand, and fell to the ground. She was crying again.
“SIAAAAAALLLL!!! Fuck you, fucking Aurora! I swear, won't let you get what you want!”
......................
"In the end, the whole Rhongomyniad village, I killed them because they asked me for mercy. What is the point of asking for mercy, when they never intend to listen?
That's why I killed them.
I hate my father.
I hate this world too.
But, because of my father as well, I still want this world to exist. I also know the meaning of a beautiful life in the outside world. But, Zeeta....
“Your whereabouts really are a threat. Your life always threatens everything around you. But why ....
“Why can you still smile like that?!”
Belle watched from a distance. Zeeta chatted with her grandmother and sister, with a cheerful and sweet smile. Whereas before, he had just experienced a frightening thing, done by the person who was actually still his enemy.
But, while watching the Zeeta, Belle realizes something is strange. There is a creature that has no visible presence at all. He immediately approached Zeeta and the others, and soon to the point said that there was no Ex-Fairy Queen there with them. “You who brought that bastard here, take responsibility!” yells.
“He intends to find you, you know, Brother Azure, Melly,” reply Zeeta.
“We?” ask Mellynda. “But we never crossed paths with him. Yes, ‘kan, Sis?”
“Ya.” Azure nodded.
“That damn tree...!” Scarlet growled, simultaneously clutching his hand.
But, a few moments later....
“From that little creature, we better straighten out what's going on here.” A man's voice came up.
“Ka-you..?” Azure and Mellynda were shocked.
“Who are you..?” ask Scarlet.
Zeeta could only stare silently at the translucent old man holding the staff and approaching them. Same with Porte.
“Dad..?” Belle clutched her hand, which only her father realized.
