Zeeta and the Wizarding World
A Truth
Dreams .. are simply the sleeping flowers of a human being. No matter what happens in it, dreams are just dreams. Sometimes it becomes a reality that is very desirable, feared, or hated to happen. Sometimes ... he also feels so real, and sometimes .. he feels so weird.
Zeeta is not sure, is what he is currently experiencing just a dream, or a moment like when he met his ancestor?
If he met his ancestors, he could only exchange words but could neither feel warmth nor touch them. At the moment, everything feels real. Body temperature, touch, sound, everything feels real. It was as if he had been pulled to another place.
However, it would not affect the question that always pervaded his mind.
Wh why?
Why did he have to go through all that burden?
Is there a reason his parents did this?
This time he had his chance. However, before he even asked the person who had embraced him, his real father, Hazell Levant, he was given some truth after truth slowly and elaborately.
......................
"To be honest I really want to get you to meet your mother soon, but I have to tell you a lot of things, including about the reason why you are so strong. I'll tell you a long story, so listen carefully, okay?" hazell.
"uhm.... I see," replied Zeeta, who was then stroked in the head by Hazell.
"Yggdrasil, the Yggdrasil Seed, the Fairy Queen's prophecy, to a little clarity about the moon's earrings, you already know it, right?"
"U-uhm...."
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. The reason is actually very simple."
"Eh? Why?"
"I don't think you've been told by your grandparents, or even your uncles about the power of the Levant, have you?"
Zeeta shakes.
"I thought...." Hazell took her breath. "Listen, son, your reason for being strong is very simple. Auroras are a family that rely on the moon as a source of power, while the Levant uses the sun."
"Ma-sun?!"
"Yes! Suns. That's why the Levant rarely shows its magic, because our magic is very dangerous and very powerful.
"You must have heard the story of me splitting the two lands just out of emotion, right?"
Zeeta recalls the story of Hellenia during the Erigona incident.
"uhm.... But ... just because of that...?" Zeeta doubted it.
"Yes. Just because of that."
"Then why ...? Why wouldn't anyone tell me that? Then why can I also use where is nature? Why am I stronger than everyone else? Because of this power—"
Zeeta's head was patted.
"Your great strength is one of your advantages besides cooking. Make no mistake, your mother and grandmother Scarlet, can also use nature mana, even if they keep it a secret."
"E-uh?!!"
"They can't tell you about this simple reason.well, because they're adults. They forget this simple thing, to put your safety and health first."
Zeeta was glazed with a gloomy face.
"Zeeta, as a father, I am a bad father, who only met you eight years after you were born in this world.
"While it's your mother, always keep an eye on you with the moon earrings that each of you wears. Maybe you hate us for what we did to you when you were just born, but I'll tell you what happened in this magical world."
Zeeta can only listen.
"Peri, is not the only crafty magical creature with all its hidden plans. Phantasmal is not only shaped like a Hollow, no, even since Yggdrasil has existed, Phantasmal has existed.
"This magical world is threatened by the existence of magic itself."
Zeeta frowned. "What does that mean...?"
"Magic does help many things and facilitate human work. Magic is also a limitless power, even though its users have restrictions.
"Then, what happens if there are beings who do not have that limit, also at the same time have the will to control everything?"
"What do you mean.. They are Phantasmal...?"
"really so. Just like other magical beings and living things, Phantasmal can grow, think, and adapt.
"As you know, they prey on a person's evil emotions as a catalyst for their form and strength.
"Then, what happens if there's a group of—no, maybe more of it, gathered?"
"A... threat?"
"Youre really. The Hollows you've faced are nothing compared to them.
"The life of magic, which began with Yggdrasil, began to show their fangs to the world that gave birth to them. I don't know what their motives are, but there's no way that's a good reason. Even if it exists, only a few percent are likely.
Zeeta gripping the mattress. "I understand why the Fairy Queen's prophecy exists" he said, "if it's like this, it's better that magic doesn't exist in the first place, and that ordinary life exists! Even without magic, we can still use the machine!"
"On that, it's hard for us to do."
"Why...? Is that not the fastest way to protect this world?!"
"No, it won't solve anything.
"There are a lot of magical creatures that need mana to live, just like we need oxygen to breathe.
"Great Magic Forest is not just a hidden decoration, son. Even out there, there are still a lot of magical creatures you've never met that need magic."
"Then what should we do?! I'm so happy because I thought I could finally live my life like a normal family, have fun, and do a lot of other things with you guys, but....
"I don't want it to be like this. hiks...."
Hazell was full, but she immediately smiled. "Ahahahah, sorry to make you feel that way, yeah. Of course we can do whatever you want. You have an old man whose powers are beyond human reason!
"The reason we separated ourselves from you was simply to prepare a trump card when the threat was approaching Aurora."
"What's that...?"
"That's what we've been talking about lately, yeah. Your mother can't wait to see you, but we need your help to get out of this magic of ours, hehehe."
"Eh?! So all this time the giant root...."
"Yes! It's a combination magic of me and Alicia!" Hazell smiled five fingers.
"Then what use am I to threaten the Fairy Queen, my goodness!!" Zeeta smacks her father's chest.
"Ahaha, about that, I can't reason." Hazell caught his daughter's hand. "Listen, yes, this is what you have to do...."
......................
Zeeta awakens, finding a room with dim lantern lights. Next to him lay Azure who slept soundly like a transverse ship at once shattered. He woke her up while whispering.
"Cnngghh... Zeeta...?" Azure woke up in a quarter conscious state. "What...? Going to the toilet? Moh... has been eight years still asking for company, right? Really cute...."
"Sir Azure!" zeeta whispered blushing, while slapping Azure's cheek with all her might.
"Whoa-wh!" Azure held onto her cheek. "Oh? The zeeta? Well... duh... why?"
"I'll explain later, but I need your help!"
"That's why I can't leave you alone!" Mellynda.
"U-uwah, don't be surprised, dong!" Azure raised his whisper.
Moments later, Zeeta asks them to help her out to Axel's Workshop.
"But... even if you want to do something, do they still want to open the door in this jam?" ask Azure.
"Just calm!" Zeeta gives her thumb.
Later, Zeeta, along with Azure and Mellynda, are taken to the location with their Azure teleportation magic. All the children are growing magic power, to make Zeeta more amazed with them.
Now, they were in front of Axel's Workshop, where around them were only illuminated by street lights, as well as someone sitting on a bench near his shop.
"Hey!" scream that guy.
"Y...!!" Mellynda was shocked to death hearing her voice. He immediately hid behind Azure, even though he was taller.
Axel the Dwarf, the identity of the figure sitting on the bench, approached them while muttering. "I don't think you're coming, and Hazell's words will miss. Damn it, who would have thought he was right?"
"Ugh.. I want to talk a lot more about that, but...." Zeeta is shaking her fingers, a sign that she is dissatisfied.
"I knew. You need this." Axel gave glasses connected to a transparent mask, where the mask was also connected to an oxygen tube.
"But..," said Zeeta while accepting the device, "without magic...."
"Don't think about it" Axel replied, "I've prepared everything. You just have to do what you have to do."
"OK...." Zeeta just looked at the device.
"Remain, Son!"
"Ba-good!" Zeeta codes Azure, and then they just leave.
Azure brought the two near the palace.
"So, tell me immediately what you want to do. I know you've told me you can't use magic, but... is that true?" ask Azure.
Zeeta nodded, then stretched her hand. "I can't even let out a little wind."
"Heeehh. so you have a weakness, yes." said Mellynda.
"Well, I never knew either. But ... This is what I'm going to do!"
