Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Axis of a Legend

For hundreds of years, a friendship has been established between Ozy and Aria. Their relationship, if likened to the relationship between humans, they have become close friends. They will talk to each other about their problems.

When she first meets, Aria finds Ozy curled up in the depths of the forest all by herself. Without friends, without talking, and even without knowing creatures that live other than himself and the animals around him. From then on, Aria introduced the world to Ozy and continued to teach him various things until they became close friends. However, one day, Aria realizes Ozy's strange behavior. He did not want to talk to him or even to spend time with him alone as if impossible to do. But suddenly, after hundreds of years of separation, Ozy comes back to the face of Aria who was with Zeeta in the kingdom of Aurora.

......................

Before the Hollows were sensed by Ozy and Aria, they were playing water under a waterfall. After about twenty-seven years of not being bathed in water - except when it rains, Ozy washes herself to be clean of the moss around her shoulder with the help of Aria.

"You still don't want to tell me, why did you just walk away from me? Even your mana I don't feel a bit. What the hell is going on?" ask Aria.

"The answer .. will come when .. the time has come" Ozy replied.

"Oh."

"What Aria .. hate Ozy?"

"Of course."

Ozy saw the reflection of his shadow in the water. He shut up for a moment.

"Ozy just .. do what must be ... Ozy did." His voice sounds sad.

A furious feeling surfaced in Aria's mind. While stomping on Ozy's shoulder, he then shouted, "Ah! Just get pissed! If you could be the size of me, I'd like to punch you in the face! You can't just leave your friend without saying anything!"

"Sorry ... Aria."

Aria sat on Ozy's shoulder, then gave a small smile. "I won't forgive. Anyway, you're gonna repeat it again, aren't you? You have something you've never told me."

Ozy's back in silence.

"Ozy, you were my first friend. I don't want you getting into any big trouble or even threatening your life. I don't want to lose you. Can you promise not to leave me alone, even if you're going back away from me?"

Ozy closed her eyes and replied, "I'll be back."

Then, shortly after, they sensed the mana from the Hollow.

......................

The Hollow was getting closer to the Eastern Region gate. The scattered skeletons, showing how helpless the humans were before them. What exactly did that main noble do that left a victim? What happened to Porte?

Meanwhile, Albert has evacuated almost all of the Aurora people in the underground depths of the kingdom, almost the entire building made of crystal with bright lighting of the same material with a slight "final touch" in order to light up.

Albert, who visualized himself through magic like a hologram to each of those who were already in a regular place, before going after the Grand Duchess, said, "Whatever happens, whatever happens, don't get out of Cremlyn's Labyrinth. There are toilets and kitchens, there are also rooms in various hallways. This labyrinth has existed since the ninth Aurora and managed to survive to be the safest refugee kingdom. Remember, whatever happens, don't get out of here!" then Albert used his teleportation.

Moments after Albert lifted his leg from there, the evacuation labyrinth, the floor and roof were lit dim. Among his people were Mellynda and Illia.

"Mom, are you gonna be okay?" ask Mellynda. He held his mother's hand tightly.

Sensing her child's anxiety, Illia immediately grabbed Mellynda and replied, "Of course, son, of course."

......................

Outside the Cremlyn— Labyrinth at the same time that Albert was evacuating the royal people along with his troops, Zeeta did something. He was standing in the middle of the kingdom, precisely in the capital square.

He clenched his hands together, closed his eyes, while performing a magic. A blue aura with a white coating on the outside, indicating he would bewitch in large numbers. Moments later, the mana details of the colorful nature gathered before him in the size of a soccer ball. After that, he opened his eyes and raised his hands high. The mana that came from him as well as that nature, turned into paper-like and "split" itself into four layers. Then, the four layers of paper turned big and became enough protectors to cover the entire kingdom in brown, blue, white, and purple.

"In this way .. I hope my people can be protected," inner Zeeta. Then he bewitched his body to fly and headed for the Eastern Region gate.

Hollows that watched the four layers of protectors appear suddenly surrounded the kingdom all the way to the villages, making them stop moving."He's coming, "his inner.

Meanwhile, at Alexandrita's residence, in Ashley's study, in addition to Lowen who took his children to evacuate and Porte who was somewhere in the Levant, Cloxzar, and the Dormant is facing the Grand Duchess.

"Mr Karim, tell me what you know about the creatures that threaten us right now. Make it concise, there's no time" Ashley ordered.

Hellen, Willmurd, and Agatha stared at Karim. Later, Karim replied, "According to Levantine records, they are referred to as Hollows, a Phantasmal— or magical beings of different levels with Elves or Giants, even Dragons. They have been around for thousands of years, even when Yggdrasil was still in this world, the same as those three magical creatures."

The three main nobles were shocked, many of whom they wanted to dig out of Karim. Especially from Willmurd and Hellen who do not know what Yggdrasil is.

"What makes it different?" ask Ashley.

"Phantasmal is a creature made directly from Yggdrasil itself. Just say it's like 'fruits from the tree'. Phantasmal also will not be overcome by humans, want as big as any owned.

"Unfortunately, the Phantasmals we face today, Hollows, unlike other Phantasmals, they have no heart. They will immediately eliminate anyone they deem to be in the way. It could be said, they were formed from the residue of the bad emotions of the creatures of the world. I doubt we'll survive them." Karim's forehead was bathed in sweat.

Silence had occurred for a while before Hellen asked, "So ...there's nothing we can do?"

"There," Ashley said. He answered it quickly.

"Eh?" Karim and Agatha asked. What is inside the head of the Grand Duchess?

"Can't be defeated how much do you have? Heh. Who do you think I am?! I'm the best fit to match them!" Ashley got up from her seat.

"You're right. I learned this power from the other side, called Ki. Unlike magic that requires mana and imagination, Ki will be formed from internal energy that allows users to produce power that is no less extraordinary."

Karim seemed to find no glimmer of hope. "Hollow is inappropriate for you to underestimate, Grand Duchess," she said, "Hollow, the Phantasmal source of Yggdrasil and the bad emotions of the creatures of the world, cannot be defeated with the power of a Human like us."

Ashley pouted, unhappy at what the old man had just said. He approached Karim, then patted him on the shoulder. "Erigona is a plant that is also sourced from Yggdrasil. Don't underestimate the power of Man, Mr. Karim. Let's go, Zeeta has arrived at the East gate." Ashley uses her teleportation, followed by Hellen and Willmurd.

Karim gritted his teeth. "If that Hollow could be defeated like you said, my ancestors wouldn't have written the family record!" then he slammed Ashley's table. "My grandson is at stake here! What can he do?!"

Agatha tried to calm Karim down by patting his left shoulder slowly. "We can only trust him" Agatha said.

......................

At the Ophenlis residence, Porte was inside the basement. The space is rectangular and made of crystal. Other than her sitting on the same chair with her eyes closed, nothing could attract her eyes.

In this space, Porte channeled her power to activate the protective effect of the Cremlyn Labyrinth to make it impenetrable either from the inside or the outside. Apparently, he could not come out—even stand from that chair so that the protective effect could continue to be active.

While Zeeta, who uses flying magic and is about to land near the Hollow, sees skulls scattered around the Hollow and grasses, flowers, even trees that turn ash and fall from the stand.

"Some have not been displaced yet...? Then, his nature..," inner Zeeta. He will then land his feet on the ground. However, the Hollows immediately attacked Zeeta by extending their body parts like tentacles to make Zeeta slam into the wall and produce a hole the size of his body there.

"Yaw!!" erang Zeetas. He sprinkled blood from his mouth. Her moon earrings glow blue, like protecting her from being devoured and becoming a skull.

"W-what happened? They're fast!" inner Zeeta. He tried to free himself from the clutches of the tentacles. It casts magic and forms it into a floating flame from its left hand, but it is absorbed into its tentacles.

"I-this...?" Zeeta realizes its similarity to the story of Erigona.

Zeeta is breathing. "Calm down, Zeeta. You are the Princess.... Remember how you faced a creature like this from Miss Hellenia's story!" inner Zeeta.

The Hollow-Hollow realized there was something different about Zeeta. They also tightened the grip of the tentacles.

"Gghhckk...." Zeeta endured the pain all over her body.

Moments later, a bang after another hit the ground. Hollows who felt anyone approaching were on standby.

"Who would have thought .. if any Giant had survived after all that.." Inner Hollow.

Shortly after, Ozy arrived. He conjures a magic circle under the Hollow-Hollow's footing. Sensing danger, the Hollows immediately acted by throwing Zeeta deep into the kingdom and penetrating several houses. On top of this, one of the protectors that Zeeta had made just a moment ago, shattered into pieces.

After that, from the magic circle he made, Ozy locked them inside an oval-shaped ground inscribed with unique writing shining red that stopped their movement completely. At least, Ozy hopes so.

Albert, who was also on his flying journey, watched in front of his eyes Zeeta who floated then fell through several buildings.

"Mr Princess!" Albert came to Zeeta.

Meanwhile, Ashley, Hellen and Willmurd come by teleporting him. They were surprised by Ozy's whereabouts, but they could soon understand that Ozy was on their side. Shortly thereafter, a voice that kept changing genders, was heard from within Ozy's magic.

"I don't think that a Giant race known for having high self-esteem like the Dragon race, will cooperate with a Human who is a lowly creature."

Ashley's on standby. He enveloped himself with an orange-red aura. While Hellen and Willmurd, they took out their Magic Books. Slowly but surely, a crack appeared from Ozy's magic.

"Man .. get out of here. Ozy .. will fight Hollow!" before his magic broke, Ozy threw it into the sky then with his eyes, he bewitched it back. The red glowing writings again appeared outside the chunk of land.

"What's that?" ashley muttered when she saw the writing.

"Grand Duchess, are we going to stay away?" ask Hellen.

"Of course not! Although we are no match for Hollows, we must protect our people, no matter what!" reply Ashley.

"I'd guess. It seems ... when I'll be alone with Arthur .. is just a dream," inner Hellen. "All right! I'll try!"

......................

Meanwhile, in the depths of the forest a little further away from the house where the Hollow took shelter, an owl-headed, thick-robed Man who covered the entire body from the neck to the feet, was, holding a long wooden stick, while clearly seeing the events Aurora was experiencing in the stream that continued to flow quietly. The sky slowly turned dark, the owl looked up and said, "This is bad. Really bad. I have to do something." Then, he struck twice the ground with his staff, which produced a magic circle under his feet.

At the same time, Aria who returned to the Great Magic Forest, was kneeling before someone.

"Hollow? Are you sure, Bellaria?" ask the person in front of him.

"Yes, I'm very sure" replied Aria.

"Hm. This is not their will. Aria, bring that human named Zeeta before me. But, make sure the Hollow is destroyed with this weapon."

"Chairman, are you sure?!"

"Yes. Feline would definitely not have thought that this was stored within the Great Magic Forest, but the matter was leave it alone for now. Let Zeeta use it—no, only he is capable of using it. Make sure you give it to him and explain the gun."

"Ba-good!" Aria immediately left from in front of the person.

"Yes ... Feline was happy to do the prank, but this time. Hm. She's a really naughty fairy." The tone that came out from him seemed ordinary, but his face was not friendly at all.
