Zeeta and the Wizarding World
In tandem
[POV Clarissa.]
My brother is someone I respect and love very much. Besides being strong and brave, he was also firm on his beliefs. Whatever happens, he is always straight on the goal he has believed in and will not let go.
My brother always protected me, even though we were only three years apart. He was always rude and strict to me, but I knew he did it because he loved me. He is the light of fire that always shines on me.
My brother .. was my hero for a long time.
Ever since we lost my six-year-old parents, our lives have never been quiet, nor have we slept well.
Still etched clearly in my head, how the day that became the beginning of hell for us happened....

“Moh~ till when do you keep spoiling with Mom, Risa?! Quickly help me and Dad move his stuff to the train!” tellaura scream, who was nine years old, was able to lift a large box of fruits, which weighed about six kilos.
“No want! I'm not like a strong brother! My hand can be dislodged if it lifts it!”
“Pampered basics...” Telaura approached Clarissa.
Clarissa who thought she was going to be hit, closed her eyes tightly. However, what he felt was a soft elusan—so he was wide-eyed.
“Have you forgotten where we're going today?”
“Kingdom Flare..?”
“Uhm. Then, there, being held what?”
“Fe... faes... festilav?”
“Ahahaha~ uhm! The festival! You can't wait to see it, ‘kan?”
“Uhm! I can't wait!”
“Then, help me. Aren't you willing to help your frail brother and can't do anything without you?”
Clarissa's nostrils are enlarged. “Humph! What can I do!” he crossed his arms, then came down from his mother's lap. “Because Big Brother can't be expected, thank me!”
“Hehe, thank you, Sister!”
“U-umm... equally, Brother....”.
Suddenly the two were immediately hugged tightly by his father. “Basic! You guys are really the girls that I'm so proud of!” The three then laughed cheerfully together. They were a reasonable little family and could be found anywhere, until....

The horse carriage that their own father had thrown out, suddenly came to a halt amidst the strong winds and gray sky. Clarissa fell asleep on her mother's lap, but Tellaura didn't. “What we've sam—“
“Sst!” His mother immediately shut her mouth. He also held it tight. “Do not make any noise until Mom says safe!”
But not five seconds after that....
‘BWHAAAMMM!’
His chariot exploded until it was in disarray.

[POV Clarissa.]
After that, all I can remember, I was in a dark room lined up alone without anyone, also airtight. But all I could feel back then was my sense of smell and hearing.
I smelled foul and fishy smells from all directions that immediately made me vomit and cry out in excused pain, also asking for help....
I don't understand anything that's going on or why it's happening.
Then, a man named Olav came to me. He immediately scolded me for whatever reason. All I heard from him, was his emotions for my father and mother, and his name for them—a pair of monsters....
Then I was beaten by him repeatedly, repeatedly, continuously until I finally mentioned my brother's name....
The man immediately looked for my brother and left me alone, after dousing me with salt water which made my wounds even more painful....
When I opened my eyes, I was in a foreign room, but at that moment, it was no longer the fishy and foul smell that I sniffed, but a strange smell... which somehow makes my body helpless. But there, I saw the silhouette of my brother, who said, ‘calm down, whatever happens, Brother will protect you!’
The noise I heard forced my eyes to open. My hearing was also increasingly active in capturing sounds, and what I saw at the time was....
A body that was covered in blood. My brother was nearby. Just then, he shouted, ‘Don't look here, Brother! Close your eyes and trust me that I will protect you! We will definitely be free from here, I swear by father and mother!’
After a long time I closed my eyes and could only hear screams after shouts without a sound from my brother, he finally made a sound to me. He said, ‘Open your eyes. For now we are safe.’
My brother took me downstream to a river, under the dark sky. However, we were illuminated by the abundance of fireflies.
......................
“My. Listen to me,” said Tellaura, who hid a hand full of blood behind her body. “In this world, you only have me, and I only have you. Even though you've always troubled me, you're my sister, who I'll always protect.
“Understanding?”
Tellaura ended her speech with a forced smile.
“No.”
“Eh..?” Tellaura turned, her lips twitching.
“I don't want to!”
“Ke-why...?!” tellaura's hands started shaking.
“No want ya don't want!”
“Tch...”.
Tellaura who kept her head down and was silent for quite a while, made Clarissa confused. “Kakak..?”
Suddenly....
“WHY HAVE YOU NEVER LISTENED TO MY WORDS?!” Tellaura slammed her sister to the ground. “See this hand?! See how broken this hand is!?
“I did this for you, to protect you!
“Dad and mom are dead, Risa! If you're not there for me, then why would I need—uggghhh..!” Tellaura crying.
“I... heard everything you said, so you don't have to tell me anymore. Sister... we must be strong if we continue together!”
Tellaura flooded her cheeks with tears. “Damn it! You are such a troublesome little sister!” Tellaura hugged Clarissa tightly.
.

“Then, out of this what should we do?” ask Clarissa. He found Tellaura's gaze empty.
“We go home and ask the Village Chief for help,” Tellaura replied.
“How?”
“Tch.” Tellaura looked around. “Catch me.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Already, quickly just do.”
“U-uhm, alright.” When Clarissa had caught her, Tellaura deliberately jumped into the river. He put Clarissa on top of him.
“E-ehhh?! Ki-we'll die if this is the way, sister!” exciting Clarissa.
“Just relax, trust me!”
“Ta-but...”.
“I met someone crazy, but that madness has helped me. Anyway you take it easy.”
“Ba-fine...”.
After a long day on the water, the two reached his village, Lazuli. They later learned that their residence had been destroyed by someone who had come after their departure in a carriage. With no place to rest, the two went to the residence of the Village Chief—Greimwald.
While on their trip, Clarissa asked, “Hei Kak..... Why is everyone staring at us strangely? Why doesn't anyone help us?”
With a very tired look, Tellaura still tightly held her sister. But because of this, he was unable to answer Clarissa.
‘DUGG!’
Suddenly, Tellaura's head was bleeding by a stone throw. He immediately fell helplessly because of it. “Kakak!” clarissa scream, “stay, Sister Laura!” when Clarissa saw who did it, she was Sigurd. “Sigurd! Why are you doing this?!”
“Death, Monster!”
Just because of that remark alone, Clarissa so remembered all the actions she had received before this and it made her faint immediately.
......................
[POV Clarissa.]
When we woke up, the Village Chief made a deal with us.
He said, our arrival was not accepted by the residents because we were considered cursed— home after drifting for days and we were accused of being the bearers of doom to our parents.
My brother was immediately furious at the Village Chief, but he had no other choice but to accept his deal—ie working for him as a slave.
All that he did was so that we could survive in this world that left us alone. Even though our days felt like hell, I still thank and cherish my brother for everything he has done.
Therefore, seeing her now this angry after such a long time and not hesitating to hit someone else....
......................
[Ten years later—when Sigurd was hit by Tellaura.].
“Me and Risa have you guys trapped, you think we're that stupid to realize it, Sigurd?!
“I've had enough of my emotions. I will change this village for the better!”
“Ka-Silver, don't do i—“
“Don't stop me, Risa!
“I've had enough of being reviled and denigrated by people like them! Don't you want to change your life for the better?!
“They are appropriate kubu—“
‘PLARR!’
Clarissa slapped her sister. “Be aware of what you're doing, brother! You're just gonna scare them! What's the point of turning their hateful gaze upon us, into a fear view? What are you worried about, Laura? I'm here with you.” Clarissa immediately hugged her sister again. “In this world you only have me and I only have you. We complement each other.”
Tears fell from Tellaura's eyes. “Sorry, I'm burning emotions.”
“Don't apologize to me, sorry to Sigurd.”
“Ehhh? On it..?”
“Ayolaaah.”
“Haaah~ alright.” Tellaura raised Sigurd's head with her left hand on her hair, but the two were immediately startled. “U-uwah! Why is her face so confused?!”
“I-it's your fault!”
“A-me?! Uhh... is there any magic that can restore it to its original state.?” Tellaura immediately closed her eyes and placed her right hand on Sigurd's face. A green light immediately appeared in his hand, Sigurd's face slowly returned as it was.
“He-great..,” murmured Clarissa.
“Fieh. Thank goodness.”

A few hours later, Sigurd awoke under the shadow of a tree. A piece of paper stuck in his fist. On the paper it says,”Sorry, really, from Laura.”
“Cih!” Sigurd just threw that lump of paper. “Basic monster!”
