Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Moving Forward (1/2)
Three days after the clash between the Elves and the humans was extinguished, the construction of the new face of the Aurora kingdom went smoothly. After being healed by Zeeta from his desperate condition, Porte has been informed of what she passed while she is locked inside the still unknown protective field. But unfortunately, he could not return the information at a price that was worth it, because he was completely unaware of what was happening around him after "merging" with his crystal to move the Cremlyn Labyrinth.
Now, the kingdom of Aurora will begin its activities peacefully, and slowly Zeeta's main goal after this construction is completed—that is to liberate Alicia from the palace wrapped in giant roots—can be completed. Before Feline and Morgan left Aurora, of course the Humans had already asked what the roots of the giant were to them, and their answer was....
"Let's go, find out for yourself. Our agreement has not a word that requires me to reveal what my plan is." Feline smiled wickedly. "You're a child, yes, Zee."
Zeeta smiled back at Feline. "Hehehe," heeled. "I'm stupid to ask you. Uhm, I'm sorry. Don't be surprised if I can get my mom out of there."
"Try, it's impossible anyway."
Morgan approached Zeeta, then said, "I'll only give you one clue about Scarlet. Use those earrings as best you can, and you'll find the answer."
Zeeta did not respond to Morgan. His expression did not flinch either.
......................
"Too much to think about.... For now I have to focus on saving mom first" inner Zeeta. He was now alone in Ashley's room to rest. Shortly after, he fell asleep.
Shortly after he fell into a deep slumber, he was reunited with Velvet. "Hello! We meet again, yes!" he waved his hand and showed off his five-fingered smile. For some reason, deep inside Zeeta, she felt warmly welcomed like this, by someone very cheerful, and even someone she had never known before.
"Give me your tos, after fighting well out there!" exclamation Velvet. He held his right hand.
Despite initial doubts, Zeeta replies with his right hand, feeling that he cannot touch someone who is not in this world, but he is surprised. Velvet even patted her on the head a few times, then immediately hugged her.
"You're great, I'm proud of you!" velvet exclaimed, stroking her head.
Unexpected by Zeeta, tears flooded her cheeks. "Eh... why...? Why me...?"
"Don't say anything first. Wake all those cries to me."
Zeeta's teary eyes, the more the crying that seemed unstoppable. "Girlgigyoo!" Zeeta even yelled—like like a child in general. He then returned Velvet's embrace very tightly. So close that she made the woman shed tears.
After a few minutes of crying, Zeeta felt enough and took off a hug and wiped her tears—though she was still as excited.
"How do you feel better?" ask Velvet.
"U-uhm..," replied Zeeta.
"Then it's good!"
There was silence for a few seconds between them, before Velvet began to talk to the twenty-first descendant.
"As long as we have plenty of time here, I'll tell you about the many things you need to know for now. I know you have a lot of tasks to complete out there, but you have your people, your foster father, friends, rivals, and those magical creatures. They'll be happy to help you."
"Why can you ta—"
"Call me 'Sister', okay?!" hatch Velvet with slightly bulging eyes.
"W-well, uhm. So... Why did you know?"
"I am Velvet Aurora XI, Second Princess of Clarissa Aurora IX. Since my time, I have spent my time studying—watching—what happens around the kingdom of Aurora.
"I knew around this kingdom there was the Great Magic Forest, the Fairy Forest, the existence of Ozy the Giant, Dryad, and I was also the one who made the underground house for the Dwarves to live in.
"Humans are terrible if they can't understand what they're dealing with. They will be swallowed up by their fears first, then unilaterally assume that something must be destroyed as soon as possible. That, no matter what time of day, will never change.
"Zeeta, I've never told anyone except my brother, my sister Roze, and my mother. You know why?"
Zeeta shook her head.
"If I told that to a wide audience, there would be a war of the wizarding world."
Zeeta was stunned as soon as she heard it.
"Humans are the weakest, the most fearful, the most cruel creatures, but at the same time, they are also very loving, loving, caring for each other.
"If you really don't want to carry on with what you're responsible for, I won't turn it down.
"Zeeta, your current responsibility is not as the Princess of Aurora kingdom anymore. But now, you are taking millions of lives, with two others as fellow Yggdrasil Seed.
"Every power always has its loopholes. Like you who can do anything with your magic, you will also be the axis of hope of all your followers.
"In other words, you can be considered like a Goddess to them."
"That's it. about me...."
"Yes, I know. I know very well you don't like it. You just want to be an ordinary girl, play and spend time with Danny, Gerda, Melly, and Azure.
"As long as I dedicate my life to observing and learning all kinds of things, there is only one way for you to break free from this chain."
"really?! Is that really what I can do?!"
"Yes. After that, listen to me carefully. It's a matter we have to decide with— as the royal family."
"U-uhm...."
......................
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zeeta woke up from his sluggish cheeks. He remembers what he saw in his "dream.
"It's not fair.., ." he murmured. "If that were to happen, I would only end up as Queen Feline had predicted....
"It's not fair!"
Zeeta curled her legs and dropped her tears again.
Then, a few moments later, someone knocked on the window of the room. "Cheeta!" yell that guy. "Zeeta, I know you're up, come here!"
Forcibly, Zeeta gets up from her bed but she walks down to cover her puffy cheeks. Zeeta opens the window.
"Zeez... The zeeta? You okay...?" ask the guy, who is none other than Danny. He uses a broom to fly.
"DANNY, KIDNAP HIM!" exclaiming the person behind him, Azure, while pointing at Zeeta.
Without a second thought, Danny pulled out Zeeta's hand and gave her a little mana to hover and positioned her to sit in front of him. They quickly walked away from Ashley's residence, leaving behind a piece of paper in the room.
