Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Catastrophe Seals

The black clouds that continued to flash purple, yellow, sometimes blue and white lightning, did not make Zeeta and his colleagues who were there trepidation. Yeah, they're scared, but if it's not them, who else?

Albert, who knew of Ashley's severe condition, felt increasingly panicked by the situation. It was true that he was a commander of the royal army, but he had never faced a situation like this. Taking advice from Maisie the Dryad, he and Willmurd retreated to the kingdom for Ashley's total treatment.

"If this continues, the kingdom will be swallowed by panic and everything will be chaotic!" hellenia Mum. He also does not know what to do, whether to help Ozy who continues to try to attack the Hell Hydra with magic inscribed with his unique writing, which is his, or step back and organize the people not to experience panic and fear further. It was at this time that Zeeta came along with Maisie and Aria.

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

"Miss Hellenia ...," call Zeeta.

When Hellenia turned her head, she slightly flinched. The look on Zeeta's face, however, was very different from the times she had listened to her story. The facial complexion that had previously been filled with deep joy and curiosity about the surroundings, had now changed completely. Zeeta was focused on what was in front of her, but her gaze was blank. Not only that, Hellenia was convinced that Zeeta did not want to do this all. However, because he felt responsible, he did everything he could, even though it was against his will.

It was then that Hellenia realized, that Zeeta was actually a simple daughter. He does not need to be understood to be able to fulfill his obligations, nor does he need to be spoiled like a noble child usually. But therein lies a hole in his heart. Because Zeeta did not feel the proper upbringing and affection as a noble child—even as Mr. Putri—Zeeta was at this point, advancing at the front, advancing at the front, and bears a very heavy burden at his young age. In fact it should be, this was an impossible thing for an eight-year-old girl to bear.

Hellenia sensed that there was a wall she could not cross to embrace Zeeta. Zeeta is not a child who only thinks about his selfishness, he is determined to become the Princess for a kingdom. Then, on top of all that, no one understood what made Zeeta turn out like this. Was it because of his bloodline? His position? Or because of the prophecy and his encounter with various magical creatures at his young age that trigger a new way of thinking?

"Yes, Princess?" ask Hellenia.

"Go back to the kingdom with all the soldiers and protect the Cremlyn Labyrinth!" zeeta's orders.

"A-what do you mean...? Do you want to fight that creature alone?"

"No, I'm not alone. Just relax." Zetas showed her smile.

"But-but...."

"Calm down, we'll handle it."

With a feeling of being forced, Hellenia bowed to Zeeta's orders. "Please, don't take rash action, Princess!" inner Hellenia. Shortly thereafter, after receiving a message of retreat from the Marchioness by telepathy, the soldiers were firing their magic at the Hell Hydra as best they could, following the orders given.

Realizing the movement of the Man-Man swarming like an ant that suddenly retreated from the royal wall, Hell Hydra found Zeeta ready with a determined and holy weapon mounted on his left middle finger.

When he saw the ring, Hell Hydra suddenly went on a rampage and destroyed everything. The ground exploded, the surroundings and houses in the Eastern Region were scorched by black flames, with a flash everything just happening. Not until there, with a strong tail, he slams Ozy to destroy the entire protective layer of Zeeta and destroy some parts of the kingdom. The order to retreat and evacuate from Zeeta, is correct.

Ozy realizes the wrath of the Hell Hydra, then he sees the presence of Aria and Zeeta wearing the ring. He immediately made something out of his magic that he brought up from the magic circle on the wall right next to Zeeta. He made a mini-sized golem and made it go up to Zeeta's shoulder.

"Resign ... Ozy ... sure ... The Princess couldn't .. beat him!" ozy exclaimed through the mini golem.

"No, Ozy. This can only be done by me" Zeeta replied.

In the midst of it they spoke, Hell Hydra launched one more attack. He spouted black flames from his nine heads at once to scorch Ozy right then and there. From foot to head, Hell Hydra burned Ozy with its black flames.

Seeing the incident in front of their eyes, certainly made Aria and Zeeta stare. Instantly, the mini golem on Zeeta's shoulder shattered into ashes. Ozy wasn't even able to say a word before it was completely charred.

"You guys, be careful, kukuu!" Maisie made a barrier so that the heat of her black flames did not hit them.

The Hell Hydra stopped its fire after it was satisfied. His black flames did not go out even though he had already stopped his bursts. There was nothing left behind the black flames, including at least the ashes from Ozy.

"The ancient magic of Rune belongs to him, enough to make me troubled. But now, he finally disappeared from before me.... Next, it's your turn!" with the voice that remained constantly changing from woman to man or vice versa, the nine heads of the creature were ready to spit out its fire again.

At the same time, the people of Aurora in the depths of the Cremlyn Labyrinth who were looking through the screen magic, felt increasingly cornered with fear and despair. Ozy the Giant who was previously able to summon meteors and was seen capable of disrupting the movement of the Hell Hydra, was obliterated just like that. No one there spoke. They had completely lost hope, even Azure and Gerda as well.

After looking with her own eyes, Aria fell on the spot while covering her nose and mouth with both hands. Unaccepting. He didn't accept what just happened. "Ozy ...? It's a lie, isn't it...?" her tears began to fall.

"Why.... Why did this happen...? Though ... when you have promised.. You promised to be friends with Zeeta!"

Without Aria noticing, Zeeta also dripped her eyes hard while bowing her head and gripping her hands tightly.

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

Zeeta is in a very dark room. He was alone there with no one to accompany him. There was a hole in his heart and blood flowing from his eyes.

"I'm a cowardly kid. I'm afraid my family in Lazuli village will no longer want to be with me after knowing my great power....

"Lords are scary people. They want to get what they want as good as themselves, even if life is the price....

"I was afraid .. that in reality I was also a noble. I fear that I will take away the happiness of others. I'm afraid I'll hurt someone else. I'm scared .. if I'm not me anymore.... And now? Here's the result. I've made Ozy lose his life!"

"...."

"What is Fairy? What is an Elf? What is a Giant? What is Dryad? I am ... what?

"I was predicted to destroy the world. Why are they saying such a bad thing? Why am I not allowed to be an ordinary ... child....?

"I ... don't want to be the Princess!

"Ah .. Why is everyone always expecting me? I'm just an eight-year-old girl, what can I do?!"

Zeeta's moon earrings suddenly glowed brightly. So bright that the space suddenly turned a bright yellow color and treated the blood cries and holes in his heart.

A long waist-length dark purple haired woman, eyes that were the same color as her hair, moaning, appeared out of nowhere. He left in front of Zeeta.

"Hello, my twenty-first descendant!" exclaim that woman. He smiled broadly, trying to melt the atmosphere.

Zeeta raised her head, then frowned. "Who else is this time?!" his yell.

"Uhm. I know it's not the right time, but look at what's around you."

Zeeta could clearly see the Aurora kingdom had already begun to be flooded with black flames that spread rapidly from where Ozy was scorched. The royal soldiers and Hellenia also tried their best to repel the flames that were already approaching the entrance of Cremlyn with all the water magic they could. If he continues like this, Aurora will be completely destroyed.

"Great!" exciting Zeeta.

"You're right. This is a very bad time. I want to talk to you about something important, but I'll do it later. So follow my instructions. We're gonna destroy that thing!"

Feeling that the purple-haired woman could be trusted, Zeeta nodded.

"That sacred weapon, the Catastrophe Seal, is a weapon made by a certain figure you haven't met—not— in your case you've probably met." The woman pointed at the ring on Zeeta's left middle finger. "Believe me, they're not your enemies, okay?"

Zeeta nodded again.

"No need to bother with the people in the Cremlyn Labyrinth, destroy the creature immediately."

"W-what should I do?"

The woman smiled, then replied, "Sheat."

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

Zeeta looked serious. He got his determination back. He bewitched his body to fly, then blocked the path of the Hell Hydra that wanted to spew fire on him, Aria, and Maisie.

Zeeta started the rapping. When he smoothed, his blue earrings shone. "Hear me, lord of mystic life. Obey me as your master who will destroy the disaster before me. Seal ... detachable!"

The ring shone and then turned into a scythe. After that, around Zeeta appear grains of gold mana with a very large amount. At that time, Zeeta's hair also defied gravity by drifting slowly. The reflection of light from the grains makes Zeeta look stunning. As if not wanting to leave the stage to shine, the moon earrings on Zeeta's left ear also glowed blue. At the same time, Aria and Maisie stared in admiration. Their mouths are open.

"Zeeta is really capable of doing it?!" inner Aria.

"W-what?! How can you wear it?! You're just a lowly human!" yell Hell Hydra. Then he attacked Zeeta with his tail, but there was a barrier field from the scythe protecting him. He then attacked Zeeta with a burst of fire from his nine heads.

"Safufu...." Hell Hydra confidently felt his attack was successful. He painted a smile on his nine heads.

However, that extremely confident smile suddenly turned into a glare. He heard the call continued.

"This world is a world created for peace. This world is not a world worth living in. O lost creatures, return to nothingness!"

The scythe shone with gold. Hell Hydra's sight was interrupted by him. "Damn! Humans should not be able to use that weapon! Who are you really!?" his yell.

Without answering his enemy who was already on the verge of death, he focused his gaze to a certain point on his opponent's body. "Catastrophe...." He pulled the scythe back until he posed like a horse, then fumbled for his final attack.

After being ready with his final attack, Zeeta slashes the Hell Hydra with all his strength and mana, whose slash forms the letter "Z". Time seemed to stop for a moment, then slowly, the golden mana grains surrounding Zeeta, entered swiftly into the part of the Hell Hydra that was slashed, then....

"Tine!!"

Shortly after he said it....

'DBUUMMM!!'

A large, gold-colored explosion occurred while returning the Earth to a bright mood. Not only that, where the gold that entered the body of the Hell Hydra earlier, returned scattering and then extinguished all the black flames below.

The people of Aurora, who saw Zeeta's action, stared in silence. They had no idea what their Princess was doing. One question arises when they admire Zeeta's actions, that is, was it purely Zeeta's power? Or was it the power of the other magical creatures that were with him? However, once they felt a little calm with the disappearance of their threat of destruction, they were made shocked again by Zeeta who fell after losing her consciousness. Fortunately, Aria and Maisie catch him. Meanwhile, a fairly young noble who was the mastermind behind the screen magic in the labyrinth, and hid in the dark, smiled. He then muttered, "Oh, thank goodness...."

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

In her subconscious, Zeeta meets a woman who calls herself Zeeta's ancestor. They sat side by side while crossing both legs to the side.

"Great work!" the woman threw her smile. For some reason, Zeeta felt the warmth from that smile.

"Uhm, thank you." Zeeta smiled, then asked, "then ...what will happen to me after this?"

"Hey! Before that, shouldn't one introduce oneself first?"

"W-well, uhm. Sorry...."

"Aahaha." The woman stroked Zeeta's head. "I'm Clarissa. Clarissa Aurora IX."

Zeeta was surprised to hear the name. "E-uh?!"

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Ti-no.. It's okay...."

"I know what you're thinking, you know. You must have heard a lot of stories about me from people who have connections with Aurora, right? Examples are like ... Alexandrita!"

"Why do you know?"

"Well, we can call it a bloodline power."

"Ja-so, then, do you also know if my mother...?"

Clarissa smiled. "Try a little more, okay? That effort would definitely be so sweet!"

Zeeta's eyes looked sparkling. "REally?!"

"Sure! Didn't you yourself say that a voice whispered to you to help people?"

"ah! Turns out it was really...?"

Clarissa nodded. Then, Zeeta shed tears.

"I'm ... already a bad boy. I've been thinking no-no with my powers. But...if my strength can save people, I will gladly wear it!"

Clarissa pulled Zeeta into her arms and stroked her head. "Zeeta, my dear descendant, you need not think too much of yourself burdened with your responsibilities and obligations as the Princess. Tell me, as a Zeeta, what do you want to do for your people?"

Before answering Clarissa, Zeeta was silent for a moment. "I'm talented at cooking. I love it when people smile at my cooking. Like when Edward and Ella ate my cooking, I wanted to see my people smile like that."

"Oh? If I'm still alive, I'd be happy to give it a try!

"Then, is that the Princess for you, Zeeta?"

"Mr Princess .. is a person who must protect and sacrifice for the sake of her people, for their smiles, hopes, and their lives."

"Even if it goes against your will?"

"Uh."

Clarissa averted her eyes, then smiled. "I used to be a native of Lazuli village. After experiencing this and that incident, I finally became queen to Aurora."

Zeeta releases herself from Clarissa's arms. "E-Ehh...?!"

"You know the legend of the witch who cursed the world for her hatred for the treatment of the humans around her?"

"uhm. Everyone seems to know that."

"The witch is my sister, Laura."

"eeh? Brother?!"

"Well, talk about it anytime, yeah. Anyway, I didn't meet you because I wanted to talk about it. In essence, there are so many things that go against my will, and now here I am.

"You don't have to feel like you're the only one who needs to endure it all. The safety, hope, and smiles of the people are not just your own. Look around you, there are those who worry about you, there are also those who hope for your happiness.

"Being a royal doesn't mean you have to forget your happiness. Being a royal family ... has a greater meaning than you, Zeeta."

"That which .. is greater?"

"Yes. You'll know when the time comes."

"But .. with my power .. I've taken a precious figure for others...." Zeeta looked at both hands.

"Tell me, is that Ozy the Giant?"

"Eh? Why do you know again?"

"Hahaha, of course I know. I don't need to answer that question, because you're gonna get the answer yourself."

"A-ah .. okay."

"Oh yeah, I haven't had enough time. Zeeta, look, the reason I met you is...."

Hearing all the explanations confirmed by his ancestors, including the Hollow-Hollow reason it attacked Aurora, making Zeeta look very angry. Really angry.

"But that's not the end of your journey. You still have plenty of time. Will you really be the one to destroy the world as Queen Feline predicted or will you be the breaker of this chain.

"The answer doesn't need to be searched immediately. Whatever your decision is, as an ancestor I will appreciate it."

"Do you .. also trust me if I'll succeed?"

Clarissa turned her eyes again.

"You're eight years old, aren't you? There are still a lot of things you haven't met and become a part of your experience. That is, I can't believe you're gonna make it.

"You're just a girl who happens to have great power. But, never curse that power. It will only make you suffer more.

"What I'm trying to say, it's not a matter of believing or not believing. Someone always has limits. Rather than asking if I believe you or not, I will ask you this.

"Zeeta, are you capable?"

Zeeta was a little surprised to hear that. He had only heard an answer like this for the first time.

"Well, like I said, it also depends on you when you have met many things and experienced many experiences. Find that answer when you're ready." Clarissa threw her smile again.

Zeeta returned the smile of her ancestors. "Uhm, I get it!"
