Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Sorceries
Soon the dawn will dawn and return to light the earth and warm the whole earth. Still in a peaceful atmosphere as usual, Arthur has been active by cutting wood for the fireplace in the shop and on the second floor. This is quite important because it will soon enter the age of winter.
Zeeta also begins to wake up from her deep sleep due to the "striking" dawn rays, accompanied by warmth. Not only that, he also heard a noise downstairs. Still accompanied by drowsiness and her hair was very ambiguous, Zeeta went down to the first floor while calling her father in a soft tone.
“Ayaaahh .. where is...?” Zeeta is a little squealing.
“Ah, did Dad wake you up? Dad is outside!” his father's voice was heard from outside, precisely on the right side of— which is where he practiced magic as well as to cut firewood.
Zeeta then leaned against the door, then furrowed next to her eyebrows. “What did Dad do?” ask Zeeta.
“Hmm? Can't you see? Cutting firewood. It's winter soon. Oh, your hair's still a mess, you know."
“Oh, correct...” Zeeta straightened her hair with her tiny hands. “I mean, why don't you use magic?”
“Too often use magic is dangerous for the human body. Sometimes it's not wrong, dong, I use my own strength."
Zeeta who just woke up remembered. “Oh yes, I just remembered... If we use too much mana, our body will not be able to withstand what is in nature."
“Yapc. Because actually mana from nature, if our body has no mana at all, we will disappear from this world.”
“Hmmm Zeeta sat on the floor and put her head on her knees.
“Why? Are you scared?” ask Arthur who grinned.
“Ti-no! There's no way I'm scared! It's just that I'm thinking why humans can't just use mana. After all, if nature also has mana, why don't humans wear it if they run out of mana?”
Zeeta's question stops Arthur from doing so. “Come here, I'll tell you why.” Arthur crouches down and opens his arms wide to invite Zeeta. The sweet daughter immediately ran and climbed into the lap of her beloved father.
“Mana from nature can indeed be used by humans, but it is very rarely found. The reason is, mana from far away— is very much stronger than human property!”
Drawing two fireballs as a marker on the ground, Arthur explained to Zeeta. He made a very large fireball for the divination of mana nature, and a small fireball for mana.
“You must know, right why? Dad once told this with a legend.” Arthur's words immediately forced Zeeta to think.
Zeeta tries to strengthen her memory by closing her eyes tight, and soon she comes across a legend about a witch's curse. “The witch's curse?” ask Zeeta.
“Ya, that's right. Although all humans in this kingdom could use magic, but it was the result of the witch's curse that was revenge against the behavior of the surrounding humans. Therefore, where belongs to nature and man cannot be equated.”
“Then ... how the witch could .. curse....
"Hmmm..?”
Zeeta tilts her head—as gonna get her own answer.
“Ahaha, you're so smart, son!" Arthur stroked Zeeta's head. "Yes, that witch is one of the humans who can use mana from nature. In addition to that difference, humans also cannot arbitrarily use magic if the imagination to realize the desired magic is unclear, as well as where the human is too weak.”
“Why...?”
“Hmm? What are you forgetting again? Didn't I teach you, the realization of the desired magic is caused by the clarity of imagination, and the strength or weakness of where the user.”
“Oh yes .. hehe, forgive me.”
“I also want you to understand very well about this. If your imagination is not clear when it comes to creating magic, it will be very dangerous. It could be that the magic you want to create does not materialize, or even that magic becomes out of control and instead injures you and the people around you. Be careful, Son.” Arthur patted Zeeta on the shoulder.
“Uhm. I'll remember!”
“But, there are still exceptions to where that weak is!”
“Eh? Exception?”
“Yes. Because as weak as any one has, if trained..” Arthur made a small red fireball as small as a bean in his right hand. “Just take it this small...” Zeeta is glued to the fire in Arthur's hand.
“It could be this big!” Arthur raised the fireball as big as Zeeta's head all of a sudden.
“Wah!” A surprised Zeeta clings to her father.

“Well, that's also because of the clarity of imagination. Do you understand now?”
“Waaah .. so, any where humans can be big?”
“Yes. Every human has their own magic potential, although there are mana that continue to be trained can not be as big as what Dad example, humans can still use magic.”
“Hmm? Then then, why do people in the village rarely use it?”
Hearing this question, Arthur smiled then gently stroked Zeeta's head. “You know, Son? Although magic can manifest anything, but magic is not absolute. As you said before, humans need mana and imagination to create magic. In addition, if humans use magic too often, their lives are in danger. Do you understand?”
“Uhm. Little ... but Well, why do you still use magic if your life will be in danger?”
“Because the magic you're wearing isn't so draining. Talk about it next time, yeah. Didn't you have an appointment today with Recko and his son Danny?”
Zeeta had completely forgotten about it. He gasped. “A-a-I'll get ready first! If they come, tell them to wait for me, Dad!” then he ran inside.
“Yes! Do not rush, later fall—“ has not finished his speech, Arthur heard the sound of falling. “Are you good?!” tanyanya was a bit screaming.
“Yes! I'm okay!” reply Zeeta who was also slightly shouting from inside.
“Hahah ... basic..” muttered Arthur shook his head with a smile.
Arthur immediately returned to work on his work that had stopped earlier. Soon, Recko arrives with a rifle on his back and his older son a year from Zeeta, whose name is Danny.
The task of the boy has a responsibility that is not small, he carries a large basket on his back. The basket will be used as a container for their hunting later. Danny has red hair and green eyes like his father.
“Hei, Arthur!” greet Recko to Arthur while waving her right hand.
“Oh, just talked about,” said Arthur who still cut wood.
“Oh? What does that mean?”
“Nothing. I just taught Zeeta a few things and she forgot you guys had a promise. Wait a minute, yes.”
“Hahaha, he once...”.
“Hei, Uncle!” call Danny to Arthur. Arthur looked at Danny. “Why does Uncle allow Zeeta to hunt with us? Aren't you worried?”
“Worry? Of course I'm worried, but I want him to know more than cooking. Anyway, there's Recko the Hunter with him,”
“Heei! There's me too!” Danny's like an emotion his name isn't mentioned.
“Ho? Are you saying you can protect my daughter, ha?” Arthur went to his waist and looked at Danny with a gaze of death.
“Of course I can! I won't lose to my father!”
“If you are a man, then you must hold your word! Oh, if you can get FIVE hunts, I'll give you FIVE sandwiches and your favorite honey milk. What are you up to with this challenge?”
“HA?! THAT RIGHT?! Free?!” Danny's confidence starts to crack.
“Yes. Sure was! But you can't take your eyes off Zeeta. If you let go..” Arthur pops a fireball in his hand. “You understand, don't you?” He smiled evilly.
“Glek...." Danny swallowed his saliva. "Alright! Accept challenge! I-I'll go inside and wait for Zee!” Danny ran into Arthur—'s house, sowing from fear.
“Haaah .. You are this. He's just a kid, why are you treating him so seriously?” asked Recko who furrowed his brows.
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?! 'ONLY'...?! It is precisely because of that 'ONLY' that I must be vigilant! My daughter could suddenly feel something for your son, and I wouldn't want that!” Arthur was so emotional as if Zeeta wanted to be taken away from him. He crossed his arms.
“Ahahaha Recko could only laugh in response to Arthur who had changed.
“Which is more important, they should know that Zeeta is the kingdom's last hope. Perhaps by bringing her closer to the forest, they could realize which Zeeta belonged to..”.
“Yes, you're right. It's possible that Zeeta can see them.”
“Give Zeeta to you, Recko.” Mimik Arthur is serious and he holds Recko's shoulder.
“Good.” Recko also answered him seriously. Recko and Danny wait for Zeeta to get ready to continue their day to hunt in the forest.
