Zeeta and the Wizarding World
The Spirit of Yggdrasil, Luna

At eleven o'clock in the night, through a bright blue magic circle, Zeeta appears amidst the ruins of the Eastern Region's resident buildings. No one was there. In the silence of the night and the blowing of the cold wind, Zeeta pensively pensively said that although many people had told her that her life was not entirely in Zeeta's hands, she still felt responsible. If ...if only he was more mature and stronger, maybe he could save everyone. The Eastern Region villagers who were victims of the Hell Hydra were not few, many people were sure to mourn their deaths. Then, he thought again..what should he do as Princess if the problem is like this?

The Fox Spirit that had been sitting on Zeeta's head, finally jumped down and looked at Zeeta. He then asked, "What do you think of when you remain incapable of protecting someone precious to you?"

Zeeta looked at the ruins and replied, "I feel weak."

"Even though you have tremendous power?"

Zeeta nodded.

"Lantas, are the people killed today valuable to you?"

The question of the Fox Spirit made Zeeta look at him in wonder. "What do you mean?"

"You don't know their faces or even their names. You just became the Princess a few days ago. So, why do you feel responsible?"

Zeeta stared at the ground, then looked at the moon. He sat on the ground and held his moon earrings with fingers. "Isn't the answer clear? They are my people. What does it mean to Princess if I can't protect my own people?" Zeeta put on her smile. "Because of that, I'm still weak."

The Fox Spirit narrowed his eyes. He knew that smile was a forced smile. "Oh. Then, what do you want to do after this?"

"I need to talk to Ashley's teacher. I'll use my powers."

"Are you sure?"

"About what?"

"The thing you're about to do can make you fear your own people."

Zeeta was slightly jolted at hearing that. Then he asked the Spirit, "I can't blame them, even I'm afraid of my power. How's yours?"

The Fox Spirit smiled then replied, "Stupid. I am stronger than you. I chose you because I decided to lead you. Just relax, just calm down. You'll be fine as long as I'm with you."

Zeeta tilted next to her eyebrows. "Look me?"

The Fox Spirit leapt up to Zeeta's left shoulder. "Yggdrasil isn't as bad as you think. But, what the Fairy Queen was about to do was not entirely true. That's why I'm gonna lead you. If the Elves or other races want to hurt you, I will protect you. So, just take it easy and do what you have to do right now." He pressed Zeeta's cheek with his tiny claws.

Zeeta smiled then replied, "Uhm. I will fight!"

They decide to teleport to the hospital, with flying magic. As they flew, Zeeta asked again. "Hey, do you have a name?"

"Name? Hmmmm.... Basically, I am a small part of Yggdrasil, but if you call me by that name .. The world will soon be a scene and will be very troublesome for you," replied the Fox Spirit. He crossed his front paws.

"Oh.... So...?"

"Give me a name!"

"Did?!"

"What's with your response? I'm offended, you know!" The spirit smacked Zeeta's cheek.

"Ouch.adudu.... Alright-fine! Let me think of a good name for you!"

"Yes. Give me a name that suits me!" The spirit crossed its claws again.

Long Zeeta was silent as she continued flying towards her destination until she remembered one important thing. "You are ...," said Zeeta.

"Hmm?" The spirit fox looked over.

"Baby or female?"

"Eh?" The Fox Spirit twitched his forehead.

"Eh?" Zeeta did the same.

"I am this ... Spirit, you know...."

"Uhm. I know, but you're a fox too, right?"

"Eyeah! Stupid time with a male or female! I am the Spirit! The Spirit is the Spirit!" he grabbed Zeeta's hair, upset by her innocence.

"Ouch! Yes I understand, don't grab me, fall down!" Zeeta really looked like a star that was falling from the sky.

After the Spirit calmed down, Zeeta had already determined his name. "Okay, your name is..," Zeeta deliberately gave a pause.

"My name is....?" the Spirit's eyes glittered. He expects a lot.

"Luna!" Zeeta answered with a smile.

"Luna?! Wogh, the echo sounds just right for my tiny body!" The spirit seemed satisfied. He jumped up because of the excitement.

"You like it?" ask Zeeta, who didn't take off her smile.

"Yes, thank you, Zeeta!" The spirit pressed his cheek against Zeeta's cheek.

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

Guinerva Hospital, where Ashley was treated intensively. There, the royal soldiers guarded the entire area of the hospital by continuing to patrol with the help of magic tools shaped like televisions that would receive any censorship or the whereabouts of a person. The magic tools are installed like a small fortress—according to the direction where the soldiers patrol. The number of magic tools it looked at was around twenty-plus. Zeeta, who is directly above the hospital, is currently stuck.

"Haw...." Zeeta sighed. "Start again, huh.... I'm sure if I go down, everybody's gonna make a fuss...." Slowly, Zeeta landed himself on the ground.

When Zeeta is within range of the magic tool's sensor, they immediately sound their alarm, and reflect light from the screen to focus the soldiers' attention. Zeeta who knew what was going to happen just stood on the spot, waiting for the soldiers to nag him. But, when the soldiers picked up Zeeta, they immediately took her into the hospital without asking her a single thing. He was greeted and immediately ushered into a room, which was none other than Ashley's room. There, he met his grandfather and Albert. They seem to want an explanation from him.

Zeeta also finds Ashley being infused, oxygenated, wearing an electrocardiograph, and some parts of her body wrapped in bandages. Zeeta could feel that, even if her teacher had avoided death's grasp, she would not be able to use magic for several months over the destruction of some crucial parts to drain mana from the body.

Zeeta caught her breath, closed her eyes, then replied Luna, "Maisie has saved the teacher.... If I try, I'm sure I can!"

Luna got off Zeeta's shoulder, then invited the two men to go with her. Although the men had big questions about who this little fox-bodied, unnaturally pigmented creature was, they were convinced that it was their ally and decided to follow where it went.

After she and Ashley are alone in the room, Zeeta approaches Ashley. Then he closed his eyes. Suddenly, the lights in that room, as if someone was playing it—live and die quickly—who ultimately decided to die. The multicolored mana details appeared after he put his hands together and pointed them right at Ashley's chest. The moon's earrings are glowing.

"Focus your mind on imagining a healthy teacher's body and still being able to bring out her mana, Zeeta." Zeeta's inner self, as she bewitches Ashley's body. "This will be different from the time you heal Brother Azure. Teacher Ashley needs more focus than that!"

A few minutes later, Zeeta opened her eyes. At the same time, the space lamp came back to life. Then, Zeeta heard the sound of hurried footsteps, then broke down the door of the room.

"Who would dare to interfere with the Grand Duchess's treatment?!" yell that guy. He was a man wearing a doctor's suit and hanging around his neck a stethoscope. "Eh? Princess Sir?!"

"Ah. ahahahah, sorry for being so presumptuous...." Zeeta scratched her non-itchy head.

The man immediately jumped up and prostrated. "FORGIVE ME, PRINCESS!" SHE CRIED, "I'M ALREADY DISRESPECTFUL IN FRONT OF YOU! WHATEVER THE PUNISHMENT, I'LL ACCEPT IT WITH A FREE CHEST!"

"Ehh...? N-it's okay, I don't mind! Besides, please raise your head!"

"Hey." Ashley's voice sounded.

Zeeta and the doctor immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"How long have I been lying here?" ask Ashley.

The doctor immediately got up from his bow, then bowed half his body, pulled his left hand back and replied, "Nine hours, Grand Duchess."

"Oh, yeah." Ashley closed her eyes for a moment. He then saw his body wrapped in bandages and medical devices attached to his body. "I don't think I repeated my mistake again. My high self-confidence often makes me like this.... Should I just step down from the Grand Duchesss, huh?" he looks moody.

Zeeta recalls when she met Clarissa who told her to fight. He made a decision, then ordered the doctor, "Anu, can you leave us for a while? We need to talk."

Seeing the face of Zeeta whose gaze was serious, made the doctor's heart move. "It's okay, Your Majesty." The doctor lifted his leg from the room.

"So ... What do you want to talk to this old lady about, Zeeta?" ask Ashley.

Zeeta goes into great detail about what has happened in the past few hours, since Ashley fell from the front line.

Luna, while Zeeta is using the time for an intense conversation with Ashley, takes Karim and Albert to the hospital roof. He intends to tell her who he is, the Elf Queen's intentions to the kingdom of Aurora, as well as Zeeta's identity as the Yggdrasil Seed.

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

Karim fell down and wet his cheeks with tears, while Albert gripped his hands tightly until he raised veins on the back of his hand. They agreed to say one question sentence, which is "why? Why is it like this?"

"At the end of the day, Zeeta is just a child. He will not be able to make a tough decision. He wasn't sure if he had to sacrifice something important to save something precious" Luna said, "this world of magic is too cruel for him. If he wasn't a powerful figure, this kingdom would have been destroyed after the Giant came to this kingdom."

"Then ... what do you think we should do, Great Spirit?" ask Karim.

"Call me Luna, without honorifics," Luna replied, "I don't care what you're going to do, but I'm still going to lead Zeeta."

"Directing...?" Albert did not understand.

"The boy's destiny was toyed with early on by the Fairy Queen. As the living entity of all beings in this world, I consider Zeeta's existence to be a jewel among gold.

"I'll lead Zeeta. Whatever he wants to do, I will help him to make it happen, even if it is the destruction of the world.

"As human beings who already have many sins, you certainly know at least one possible reason Zeeta destroyed the world, right?"

The two men turned their faces.

"Yes. The ugliness and rottenness of the world. Not just humans, all creatures are like that. No one can say who is wrong if the world ends up in the hands of that child. But...." Luna who paused her speech, made the two men glare at Luna again.

"The world has its beauty too. He must see the beauty with his own eyes. Since he is a part of Man, I will leave his growth to the ladder of maturity in your hands. Don't assume just because I'm on Zeeta's side, that I'm on your side a hundred percent."

Karim and Albert changed their positions to bend their knees in front of Luna.

"Just calm down, just calm down. As long as there is me, Zeeta will be fine. For now, focus on his ultimate wish, which is to save his mother from the palace." Luna said it while walking away from there.

The two men reprocessed Luna's words just now, then shouted with a stir. "Ra-Ra-Queen Alicia... is alive?!" ask them simultaneously.

"Eh? I didn't say?" ask Luna. They nodded quickly. "Tehee~" Luna stuck out her tongue and narrowed her left eye.

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

The dour-faced Ashley has now shone back after hearing that Queen Alicia is still alive and Zeeta's next goal is to save her mother. However, along with her sense of happiness, her feelings of gratitude flooded into Ashley's heart making her cry profusely.

Zeeta smiled warmly at Ashley's response. "Before focusing on my mother, I want to improve the situation of the Eastern Region and our defense first. Does the teacher want to help me?"

Ashley plucked the infusion from her arm and oxygen hose. "of course! The day after tomorrow, we'll start acting!"

"Fufufu, I didn't expect Master to be this excited!"

"Are you kidding me?! If Scarlet were still here, she would be happy too!"

Zeet heard the name Scarlet. "Uhm. Teacher is right." Zeeta smiled again.

Scarlet Aurora XIX is the only royal family to doubt the Fairy Queen. If ... if Scarlet was still present by his side, what would he say or do to the Fairy Queen...? That was what was present in Zeeta's mind.

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

Zeeta's fate is already set by the Fairy Queen as is her desire to resurrect Yggdrasil. Maybe it has been willing to wait hundreds of years for this moment, then will the Fairy Queen be silent if she knows a Spirit Yggdrasil who has been wanting to raise was on the side of Zeeta...?
