Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Me and the Other Me
Luna had brought Gerda to a dimension that had no boundary of space and was all golden orange, and there was so much star-like light falling around her.
The Spirit Yggdrasil and childhood friend Zeeta are discussing the problem of a Giant child, also at the same time reminding the Childhood Friend of the incident burned himself to ashes some time ago.
“There are two possible causes of this unusual event, Gerda,” said Luna, who looked at Gerda seriously.
“A-what do you mean...?” ask Gerda.
“Me and Zeeta came from the sky, but from there, we did not see any Giant figure that was protecting you— who was in a state of ash— in his face down position.
“About that, there are two possibilities that can explain it.
“The first one; it was caused by the power of the Giant himself. If you look at the roots of its origin, then it is not impossible to do. But here, because he is still a child— as you have said before— I'm sure it can happen because of his accident.
“But, what you have to underline, if that's what it really is, then I don't have to bother like this and have to exaggerate it.
“That became a problem .. is the possibility of both—that is the reason why we both could not see the figure of the Giant.
“Perhaps, this is because the Dark Lord has used some sort of rune in order to restrict us from feeling mana, while blocking our view. Also, I'm sure if your cause forgets your burning, because the same person.”
Gerda put on a sour face. “I ... don't understand why it's like that.... No.. let kuralat, it seems I know, but I'm too afraid to admit it.”
Luna was interested in it. “What do you mean?”
“I do not remember how I was burned by him, but I remember how I felt when I saw him—ahh!
“I completely forgot, but deep in my mind, I kind of knew what was happening!”
Luna held onto her chin while frowning. “Maybe you've said something to her, so it ignited her actions on you afterwards?
“What we're talking about is Zeeta. Both you and I, we both know what it looks like. There must have been something that happened to him— in his native world— that caused him to actually become a Ruler of Darkness.”
“That's right.. Maybe you were also right about him putting the runes on me. Because I just don't remember that specific thing. If I don't remember about Titania, it can convince me that I DID lose my memory of having burned it out.”
“Before Nak Elf and Zeeta calm Titania,” reply Luna, “we will assume that the Ruler of Darkness is what makes you like this. However, I can't let go of that rune when in reality. Whether it should be Zeeta, Titania, or the Ruler of Darkness himself who took it off.”

[In the meantime, between Serina, Zeeta, and Titania.].
“Haaah~” Zeeta sprawling both her hands and feet inside a wide earthen pit. He saw the night sky, brilliant with the might of the moon. However, his body did not feel relaxed at all because the ground was always shaking. Serina is busy with Titania who remains on the rampage.
“How far away did the other me actually become evil...?
“No... maybe evil is not the right word.
“Because .. I understand why he did it. But... why...?”
Zeeta recalled that just a moment ago, she saw Titania's expression that was very angry at her and could not be soothed—for now. He himself has not done everything to appease the Giant higher than Ozy. His stretched body was also not because he wanted to, but because of the Titania attack.
A few moments later....
“Let me calm him down.”
Zeeta heard a male voice from above her. “Ah! Ozy's! Long time no see!” he smiles.
“Ya,” reply Ozy short, “you yourself, why lie down like a lazy person so? I know you're not this weak just because of a giant's hard punch.”
“Yes... I realized a little who the Giant was, it's just.. when I saw his expression that way, I remembered clairvoyance right after I came out of the Land of Death. People unsheathed all his weapons and magic to me.”
Ozy saw Zeeta saying it with a wry smile.
“Either why, after remembering it, my body went limp. Hehehe, I'm sorry, I need time" Zeeta continued, trying to keep her smile.
“Hei, Ozy...”.
“Hm?”
“Tell me honestly now, but keep this a secret from the others, okay?”
“Good.”
Afterwards, Zeeta says something to Ozy through his telepathy.
"If I .. if I destroy the existence of magic from this world, you know, right ... All magical beings whose lives are supported by magic .. will perish? Including even Ancient Spirits?"
"Of course I know," Ozy replied.
"You've also known for a long time that your friend Clarissa told me to destroy magic is not impossible—if Yggdrasil granted it."
"Yes." Yeah."
"Are you going to fight me if I make that decision?"
"I am your teacher. There's no way I'll teach you much, if I don't understand about my own students."
"But, in reality .. you know yourself .. what the other me is."
Ozy was silent for a moment. He saw what his disciple was really disheartened about the thing he had to do to end Ragnarok and all.
“Only one thing is certain, Zeeta,” Ozy said firmly, “what happened here, is different to that world. The fate of this world is indeed on your shoulders, everyone knows—even the Ancient Spirits.
“Whatever your answer is about it, then that's how it will be. What awaits after, regardless of what the world will be, let yourself in that time face it.
“Because .. You are not alone in this world.”
After saying so, Ozy leaves Zeeta.
“Sorry Ozy....,” muttered Zeeta, “I won't ask that, if this voice...not constantly buzzing in my head.”.
“Hate! Bencibencibencibene...! I hate everything! Everyone has betrayed me! Why did you betray me?!”
Zeeta closed her eyes with her left arm. Then the crying fell on his ears. He was also bluffing his teeth, as well as trembling. He knew very well that the voice that was buzzing in his head was himself. “Sial...! What happened to you exactly, Zeeta...!?”
[While it was in the Seiryuu empire.].
Undine had come across an empire that was thick with that Dragon culture. His arrival was so striking because no matter who was the victim, he was killing the Humans on the ground with a tsunami.
The Ruler of Darkness who became his victim was not able to dwell. He who could only rely on his sensitivity on mana, could not follow or pinpoint where the Undine was, because of the magnitude of which the Ancient Spirit possessed.
Nevertheless, his title is not a mere figment. Unlike others who were carried away by the current and some of them were victims, the girl still tried to stand up.
He's bluffing his teeth. He also clenched his hands tightly. “Damn it! It must be you, Undine!” his screams.
“Hoo...? I can't believe you know who I am, even if you can't feel or see me, man."
“Do not act great just because you are one of the Ancient Spirits! I don't mind finishing you once again!”
Undine frowned, then....
‘ZRASSHT!’
The ice pillar pierced and carried the Darkness Ruler hovering at its tip. The splashing of blood from his mouth due to the shock from his stomach also splashed onto his pillar.
“This is the pride that has always existed in Man, whether when his time. I know you're threatening, so I can't let you live any longer!”
