Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Treasure Box Lock
Somewhere with an orange sky decorated with hundreds of shooting stars, in a green expanse as far as the eye could see, a man and a woman were sitting on a silver garden bench looking up at the sky. The straight-haired man had blackish brown hair, while the violet-haired woman was let loose.
"The time has come, yes" said the man.
"Will he forgive us after eight years?" ask The Woman.
"I'm not sure...." The man held his partner's hand. "But you've always protected her, you know that answer better than I do."
"The child is my pride, my treasure, and also my flesh and blood...." The woman started crying. "I never held her, kissed her, or even stroked her....
"I want to embrace him and live with him immediately...."
"I knew. Just be patient a little more, Alicia. New moon is coming tomorrow."
"Uhm. Eventually... eventually...."
......................
Azure, Gerda, Mellynda, and Danny are meeting with Zeeta. For the umpteenth time, Azure lectured the person who had been considered his own sister with the same thing. He is not alone, and he has a reliable friend.
After being told about the exercises her four friends were doing, Zeeta smiled. "Thank you, everyone! I will try to be a better Princess!"
"Together with us!" screeched Danny with a five-finger smile.
However, after that, Zeeta suddenly lost focus and became unconscious.
"Zeeta?!" all his friends immediately panicked and tried to do whatever they could.
[In the meantime.].
"Hello!"
Zeeta meets Velvet in an all-white room and a little flower bed. He sat near the flower.
"Sorry, yes, forcing you to meet me at such a happy time" Velvet said.
"Uhhhm...." Zeeta shook her head. "Somehow my heart is happy, so it's okay!"
"That's it, huh? Hehehe, good then." Velvet sat next to Zeeta. "You'll soon meet your parents."
"E-uh?! Why would you know?"
"Something you call the power of the bloodline, no, maybe more to... female instinct?"
"Sister Velvet..be serious!"
"Hehe, sorry, but that's it.
"Listen, Zeeta. Tomorrow is the new moon. In this phase you will lose all your strength. You'll be a human being, without any magic."
"W-What is this...? Why suddenly...?"
"So you don't get shocked and panic, I tell you. For now, that's all I have to tell you."
Slowly, the white space faded.
"Tu-wait! I don't understand what maxu—" is"
Zeeta suddenly wakes up in a sweat bath, on the top floor of Arthur's house. Beside him were his four worried friends.
"Zee?! You're okay?" ask Gerda.
Zeeta who was still gasping, nodded. "Yes.... I'm fine...."
Hearing Gerda's screech, Hellenia and Arthur below immediately ran upstairs.
"Cheeta!" shouted Arthur.
"Mr Princess!" shout Hellenia.
"I'm fine. Just dream sa—" Zeeta sees the gaze of Azure's eyes knowing he'll lie. "I-I see my ancestors again."
"What?!" everyone there was surprised.
Afterwards Zeeta recounts what he witnessed in his "dream.
"Ordinary humans? It was as if the legend of the witch was..," Inner Hellenia. He then glanced at Arthur, as if he was also thinking what he was thinking.
"Sorry everyone, I want to be alone first. It's okay, I just need to calm my heart" Zeeta said.
"I'm staying here. There's something I want to say" Azure replied.
......................
"Be honest with me, Zee," Azure said.
"What about?"
"You've been through a lot since you became Princess. Very much. You also learn and know a lot of new things, about good or bad things in this magical world...." Azure opened the window, and the wind blew against it. He turned to Zeeta and asked. "Aren't you sick of this world? Did you think of destroying the world?"
Zeeta was wide-eyed, but she immediately smiled. "Uhm. I've been." Zeeta's answer was unexpected by Azure. "I was talking to Queen Clarissa about the world.
"The conversation ended with him leaving the decision in my hands, when the time came.
"Do I have to protect this world, end up destroying this world, or become the Lord of Darkness as Ozy feared.
"But they all believed I wouldn't end up like that. They also let me choose what I want to live like, and I've decided.
"I want to live and spend my time with you. I also want to see my mom, hug my mom, and more. But that's my goal for now. I still have to go through a lot and think about the problem of destroying that world for the last time!
"The world is vast and beautiful, Brother. A kind of creature that lives in this world. If you ask me that question that I still cry a lot, it's unnatural, hehehe!"
Azure smiled, then walked over to Zeeta. "Oh, yeah.... Thankfully, my excessive anxiety has started to go away a little." He stroked Zeeta's head.
......................
At that time, midnight was at its peak. The activities of the entire kingdom rested for the next few hours. Lights that are like a substitute for the sun are no less bright illuminating the quiet kingdom. At that moment, a plan began to be executed by a magical creature.
Siren, who is now accompanying Klutzie who is still unconscious, sleeps by sitting on a bench while cross-legged and hooking his left leg to the right leg. Dreaming of seeing someone.
"What do you want to do?!" ask Siren.
From his view, he saw the silhouette of a long-haired girl standing clutching her hand with her surroundings smashed and surrounded by smoke.
"I'm sick of it" replied the girl.
"Eh?"
"Everything is over because that something called magic snatches away a lot of precious things!
"Although I will become a villain, even though I will be antagonized by many people, even if I have to die, I will end this world!!"
When the girl shouted, Siren saw the blue glowing moon earrings. Then after that, he woke up panting and his forehead was bathed in sweat. "What's that...?" muttered. He saw his hands tremble. He then set his breath, then looked up at the sky, where the moonlight only seemed a little.
"If this dream is true, then I must...." Siren looks serious. "I'm sorry, Luna...."
Meanwhile, in another part of the kingdom, little Zeeta is asleep at Arthur's residence, along with his friends, except Danny, who is sleeping with Arthur.
Although Hellenia's "lovey-dovey" plan devised by Selenia fails, they at least get certainty about Arthur's feelings.
It was at this time, that Zeeta met someone through her "dream. He was a straight-haired black-brown figure.
Zeeta awakens in a warm place, though winter will soon be welcome. He found a ceiling and a room he did not know at all. Everything is made from tree trunks. He was covered with warm and thick and was in a mattress that was not so hard, nor so soft. Nearby the man who was directing both his hands on the fireplace.
The man looked at Zeeta, then smiled. "Hello, Zeeta!" sapana.
Zeeta did not respond. He nodded and grabbed the blanket. "I have to get up soon" he said.
"Why?"
"I don't even know what to say when I meet you! I-I have to prepare my heart too!
"If suddenly like this.... I do not .. can .. hold... hiks... my tears...."
"Looks like you already know some of it, yeah.... But that's for sure...." The man got up from his seat and immediately hugged Zeeta.
"I'm so happy to see you, my daughter Zeeta. I'm also sorry for making you go through so much weight.
"It's our uncertainty that makes you experience that. So... will you forgive us?"
Zeeta is unable to say anything. He immediately replied to the latch very tightly. His heart felt warm and the heavy burden he always thought of felt light. He knows and can only know. The man he held—his biological father— worried about him so much.
He also felt what he could not feel when he met his ancestors. While his ancestors felt hollow, his father felt very real—had warmth, a heartbeat, also a great strength.
So, it became unthinkable....
What really happened to her parents?
Why is the palace wrapped around by a giant root?
Why should he live outside the palace, when in reality his parents are still alive...?
