Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Before Everything Can No Longer Be Helped
Zeeta's loud screams echoed to the ears of those watching the rise of Azure and Mellynda from “death”. Both of them who both heard the screams of his precious friend, were unable to move much because the body felt weak. Therefore, it was Tellaura, Scarlet, Porte, and Albert who followed to the source of the sound.

“What's up?!” shouts Scarlet, “Zeeta, are you okay?!”
The four adults then saw Zeeta who was meeting with Belle.
“Who is that girl? Why is she wearing a necklace similar to the confused—“ Albert, immediately patted his shoulder by Porte— signifies that later he will explain.
“I'm fine, Nek,” said Zeeta, while removing her arms at Belle. He then came down from a large stone shell. “Are Azure and Melly finished? I just ... want to go home soon for now.” Zeeta clutched her left arm, also staring at the ground. His face also showed that he was not well.
All the adults there could not be fooled by such a face. Indeed they did not get a direct answer from Zeeta, but there was no harm if they went home.
“Good. Grand Duke, prepare a magic circle for everyone teleport,” Scarlet orders.
“Ready, Mrs Scarlet,” replied Albert, who immediately returned to the tent.
“We will be waiting for you. Finish your business with Belle.” Scarlet then follows Albert with Porte.
After the two left, Tellaura immediately frowned at Zeeta. “Tell me what happened.”
Zeeta who silences, makes Belle decide to speak up in his place. He showed me the Catastrophe Seal ring and said that when he put it on, Zeeta screamed loudly.
There was only a poker face or a mediocre face after Tellaura heard it. Belle doesn't know if her ancestor didn't know or was just pretending, but she immediately returns the ring to Zeeta.
“Zeeta, look at me.” Belle clutched both of Zeeta's shoulders. Zeetapun. “You've made up your mind so far. I don't know what makes you scream, but don't be afraid.”
“I'll try.” Zeeta answered him, turning her eyes first.
Then, they split up. Zeeta catches up with her grandmother and her comrades, while Tellaura and Belle remain in the village. They looked from a distance at the departure of the group with a fairly large orange magic circle.
“So?” ask Belle, “what keeps you here, Tellaura?”
“Tell me one thing, Belle.”
“About what?”
“What do Yggdrasil Seeds look like other than Zeeta?”
Belle free of charge tells Tellaura that one of them is the Prince of Nebula— kingdoma kingdom born from the union of Gala kingdom and Southern Flare— kingdomand another one is from the enemy side, Imperial princess Seiryuu.
“The prince was named Klutzie and the Princess was named Hitomi Reiko. For additional information, Hitomi has the nickname as the Star Witch, Asteria.”
“Star Witch...?” Tellaura held her chin. “Do-don't..?”

[Kingdom of Aurora, palace.].
Scarlet leads Zeeta to her room. “Be quick to rest and restore your energy. The rest leave it to Grandma and the others.”
“Uhm. Let me rest, Grandma,” reply Zeeta.
Although as usual remains a submissive, Scarlet still feels something strange. But he couldn't just ask.
Afterwards, Scarlet and Porte face Alicia and Hazell. In the same room, there were also all related nobles, including Grand Duke Albert, former Grand Duchess, Ashley, and Illia. They listened to what had happened during the group that had just returned from the Land of Death.
As if a dream, all who filled the throne room would not believe this story if not the influential people who said it.

[At the same time, in Zeeta's room.].
Luna appeared in her fox form next to Zeeta who was lying in her pajamas. “I didn't feel your mana after you came back. Instead of a happy and joyful face after completing your goal to the Land of Death, why is your face like that, Zee?”
“Something scares me again, Luna...”.
“Uhm. That's right.”
“And this can't you tell anyone else?”
“How can I tell you what I saw .. There are people I care about who are brandishing their magic to me.”
Luna frowned. He then went up to the bed. “Tell me.”
After Zeeta told me....
“So,” response Luna, “I understand the essence of your desire to do those crazy things and honestly I've guessed a long time ago you'll do it.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Since I decided to make you my container, as well as Clarissa who explained to you about that ‘the specific way’, it's only a matter of time until you get a clear answer.
“However, that vision is not something that can be ignored.
“This is just my suggestion and you are free to reject it, but I want you to talk also with another Yggdrasil Seed.”
Zeeta was silent for a moment, trying to digest well the words of that Yggdrasil Spirit. “Don't say ... You want to make me and the Yggdrasil Seed in Seiryuu contact?”
“Hey. This is better than no clarity between you. Yes, ‘kan?”
“Ugghh... alright!
“But I'll be there after my mana recovers!”
“During that time, I will take care of you.”
“Hehe, thank you.”
......................
The next day, Zeeta fills the days of being a normal human being by circling the kingdom. He who is already aware of Aurora's current situation, uses his free time to greet and help his people.
Until finally, he reached the village of Lazuli, Arthur's residence, whose shop was closed. Seventeen-year-old silver-haired girl who saw how this village was three hundred years ago, walking on Luna who enlarged her body—replace Zeeta's exhausted legs after touring the two Regions, alone.
While still greeting the villagers who were stunned to see a white giant fox with two tails of fire at the end, as well as its fur from the naked eye alone could already guess how gentle the sensation was, indeed, the, there was something that came to Zeeta's mind. Zeeta thought how completely the village had changed. This was not a monster village that had always treated Tellaura and Clarissa unfairly and ruthlessly.
“Hey, Luna...,” call Zeeta down, while approaching her face on Luna's head.
“Iya, Zee?”
“Will you drive me a house a little far from here?”
“Of course. But ... whose home is it?”
“Someone...” Zeeta answered with a smile.
Luna immediately delivered it according to Zeeta's direction.

They both arrived at a sturdy building, but already covered by weeds, creeping plants, and moss. The condition of the building was exactly what Zeeta saw with magic.
The wind blew fiercely both—forced Zeeta to look towards the west of the uninhabited old building in front of her. “I would never know if Astray Land was part of Tir Na Nog, or what we now call the Great Magic Forest, if Tellaura did not show me her memory,” muttered.
Luna finally understood why Zeeta wanted to come here. “Tir Na Nog used to be a peaceful place, where all life at that time went like a dream. Everything was peaceful, smiling, and filled with laughter.
“Since infighting deepens between races, Tir Na Nog is no longer a jungle cambaan, except for a few mystical animals, Dryad, and a new resident who settled there—Elf.”
“I understand that, Luna. Hence, if I destroy this world..”.
Luna patted Zeeta's head with her tail. “The world is always changing, son. Sometimes it's spinning in the good direction, sometimes in the bad direction. Like it was all this time.”
Zeeta held onto Luna and stroked her gently with a smile. “Thank you. Before we go home, I want to visit Arthur's father. I heard she's engaged to Miss Hellenia.”
“Good. Just tell me what you want, before everything can no longer be grasped.”
With a smile and wind-blown hair because Luna started running, Zeeta replied, “Ya. I have to prepare myself for that final day.”
