Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Clues
The chanting of crickets that are mutually yawning accompany three pairs of friends who are leaning on the old wall mossed—bekas house Tellaura.
"That's how it is" said Zeeta, flanked by her two best friends since childhood, "the reason why I'm here now. This is the home of the 'Witch Legend' that we have heard of for generations. Who would have thought that a place like this was in our village, right?"
Zeeta tells himself how his "adventure" in Fyrriheim, his encounters with Gala's descendants, as well as what happened when he was in the Land of the Dead. All of that is related to one theme; ancestry.
"Haaah~" Gerda sighed. "I wonder at your ancestors. They've been dead a long time, why can they still communicate with you. If I were you, I would be horrified to see them again."
"Uhm. Thatvs right. They might be called ghosts, but they've helped me a lot."
"Talk about them, Zee," said Danny who did not want to be left behind, "Tellaura was also still in Aurora, you know."
"Eh? Did ya? Did he also turn into an ordinary human like me, huh?"
"There's only one way to make sure of it." Danny smiled, but not his brother.
"Stop that idea!" grumbled Gerda, "you must want to take Zeeta alone with your magic under the pretext of 'I will help you!'
"Squeals!
"Listen, yes, this Zeeta is not lev—"
"That's enough, Gerda. I was just curious too. Anyway, it's late. There's something else I have to do instead of making sure that's all trivial. Come back and will you help me tomorrow?"
"Of course...." Gerda looked at her brother for a moment, then Zeeta pepper. "What do you want to do?"
Zeeta smile. "What else if not ... 'preparate'...?"
......................
The next day, Zeeta and his two best friends set off for the capital not by magic or vehicles, but on foot. The three depart quite day— deliberately because of their many schedules at Lazuli in addition to conversing. Such as fixing the shop, telling the residents about the residence of Tellaura, the existence of the new Fairy Queen, as well as of course. With many residents still worried about Zeeta, as he did when his daughter was fourteen, Arthur cooked an all-out, certainly assisted by Hellenia as his future wife, and the Recko-Grilda couple.

"Some, Zee...." Gerda walks gontai under the sun's sting. "Why should you explain those things yourself to your people? Can't you just tell it to the palace and spread it? This step is easier!
"Oh, duhhh! So hot!"
"What can I do, Gerda, it's summer! It's our busy situation that doesn't let us realize it" Zeeta replied.
"When the soil is flowering because Vanadust is still having an effect, right? Why not as fresh as two weeks ago, anyway?"
"Because it has something to do with Jormungand," Luna's sosor, the Illegal Passenger who took refuge behind Zeeta's long hair and straw hat with his shoulder.
Gerda stopped her steps for a moment, then continued walking. "Oh, so." He then pulled out his holy weapon. "I'll do my prep now, Zee. Keep walking."
"Hehe. This is my target." Zeeta smile.
Gerda dumb-founded, but immediately grinned. "Basic, your rune is really troublesome."
"Hey, Luna," Danny called, "can't you tell us what Jormungand looks like?"
"There's no need to know that either, when you fight it one day, you're going to have to take out everything you can, right?"
"Well, that's, um, for sure...."
"Come, Luna...." Zeeta pleaded, "i'm curious too."
"alright.
"Jormungand is a Serpent Giant. Of his entire race, he was famous as a Nightmare because of his strength. He was generally always in the water, but he could also make the land his ally.
"In addition, no one has ever been able to injure his scales or approach him, not even from his own race. It has a very deadly poison."
"Sounds very tough...."
"Indeed. Therefore, if he has been deployed, then Ragnarok has already begun."
"Is there anyone stronger than him?"
"Haha.... Of course there is." Luna squinted her eyes, staring at Danny.
"E-uh...?"
"What's with your astonishment?
"He's in front of your nose, you idiot!"
"Due ... Moon...." Zeeta stroked Luna's head gently. "You flattered me too much. Rather than that, Dan, can you think of something to overcome their attacks?"
Danny smiled five fingers, then grabbed his sister by the neck. "Of course." He also showed two fingers "peace" his.
"Ughh! Release, Brother!" snapped Gerda, "I told you it's hot!"
Zeeta smiled wryly. "Related?"
"Hey hey, we have someone who has poison and often exercises a match with us, you know." As soon as she heard it, Zeeta was stunned.
"ah! Die me."
"Always, always, always, and ALWAYS ONLY!
"THE TWENTY-FIRST ZETA AURORA!!"
Aurora felt a great shock just from the loud snaps of the girl in front of the three-friends.
"Sorry!" Zeeta tried to defend herself. "I-I'm busy with—"
"Shut your mouth. I'm tired of hearing you keep making stupid excuses.
"Hurry along. Mom's been waiting. Blame yourself for not telling your cousins to shut up."
"Aah!" Zeeta gaping. "I was totally unthinkable!"
Four head veins appeared on the forehead of the black-and-blue haired girl. "At least you should feel my magic, yeah.... That way you understand that I am strong!"
"Well, that's it." Zeeta suddenly smiled as if nothing had happened. He also patted his foster brother on the shoulder. "You can't be fast either. We're getting ready."
"Huh...? Prepare...?" Azure tries to understand it on its own by looking around. "You have great effort and intention!" he doesn't think it out. Azure became silent for a moment and seemed to think of something. "So, what do you want me to do?"
"Say, Brother.... Do you remember when Ozy first came, which he did right after he saw me, what?"
Azure is trying to remember. "You want me to do that?! Are you crazy?!"
"I don't want to be underestimated and continue to be considered an inappropriate being by both races."
"Well..no I don't understand what you mean, Zee, but .. isn't the Land of Death overburdened?"
"Who said you had to kill them?"
"Eh? What do you mean?" Zeeta then whispered to him, who was immediately greeted by a twitch of the forehead. "What if I fail?"
"You think you're alone?" Zeeta embraces her two best friends.
"All you know, yes." Luna suddenly interjected, "what you must overcome when Ragnarok is not only Jormungand. Giant and Dragon .. They are still the strongest race on Earth. Moreover, for thousands of years, they lived in a world that benefited his strength and when the purpose of his life had been in sight, they would naturally not let go."
Azure, Danny, and Gerda were instantly silenced. But....
"Just calm down." Zeeta smile. "I'm the one who won't let them do anything."
"Sheeta...." All three of his colleagues were touched by his confidence.
......................
After walking for miles from the village of Lazuli to the gate of the Southern Region, people's observant spies and gatekeepers were instantly restless. Some are happy, anxious, and others.
"We split up here for a second, yeah." Zeeta floated her body in the air while holding her hat. "I'll talk to mom."
"Yes, okay!" the three people accompanying the Silver Hair waved their hands.

After having been with his extended family who had been staying at the Levant residence, Zeeta proposed something. He spoke in front of the Levant.
"Let me speak four eyes to Grandpa."
Everyone's surprised. They suspect, does it have anything to do with the Levant's "final goal" is to kill Zeeta?
The head of the Levant, Lowen, allowed it with a steady nod.

Zeeta goes into a dim room that is only illuminated by magic lanterns and lights with low power. As soon as he entered it, he immediately realized the painting was right in front of the grandfather's mattress. Surely, he knew what it was.
"Hi, Cake, long time no see."
"Oh...!" Karim glared, immediately shedding tears. "Oh, Zeeta...! My granddaughter! Sorry. forgive Grandpa... Grandpa can't meli—"
"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Mother, but I need your advice right away." Zeeta's gaze and expression, immediately made the old man aware that Zeeta was looking for the final answer that would really strengthen her heart. "You're the only one I can count on for this matter."
Somehow, Karim felt he had strength. He who had been lying weak all this time, began to be able to lean. "Don't force yourself, Mother...!"
"No, Zee.... If this is your request, I'll have to listen to it. After all, I have also defected from the Oath.
"So, what do you want to talk about?"
"Before that, would Grandfather be willing to tell me, the reason why the Levant ancestors wanted me dead?"
There is no need for an answer or notification to the old man about who told Zeeta that. What he took out of his mouth was....
"Take the painting and bring it here. We'll see it together."
