Orange sky is more brilliant than a painting, clouds that like drawn with chalk, grass and foliage green toska, and wind that blows cool, cool, welcome Zeeta to a place she has never been before.
After he opened the stone door in the depths of the lake with his moon earrings, he found himself facing a very large, beautiful and beautiful palace with its motifs and decorations, accompanied by peculiarities that symbolize the pattern of the moon in some parts of the palace walls and towers. The palace was predominantly gray in color, with punctuated bright blue luminous lines. It looks very magnificent, but also ancient like a medieval palace, also modern at the same time with various additions that make it unsightly.
But unfortunately, there are three things that are very bad for him. Where's everybody? Why was his palace inside the protector again while his outer courtyard, which was roughly the same area as the palace area, was left just like that...? More importantly, where are his parents?
"Any.. when I was in the water, even Uncle Axel's magic tools just disappeared," muttered Zeeta. He saw her clothes back into the princess's dress. "I can't imagine living in here.I can get lost...."
Zeeta started to take her steps with a gloomy face. "Where are you, mother...?"
A man runs as fast as he can as if he is being chased by something. She pulled her dress as high as she could, no matter what her status was. It came from a portal that just appeared. His cheeks were immediately flooded with tears, then the man shouted, "Zeetaaa!"
Hearing her name being called, Zeeta flips over, but she is soon hugged until it is made difficult to breathe.
"My daughter.. My beloved daughter. Finally, I can hold you and touch you properly.... Mom misses you! I love you so much!" Alicia could no longer suppress her feelings.
A cry also suddenly appeared just like that drenching Zeeta's cheeks. "You... My mom...? Really My Mom?"
"Yes, Honey. I gave birth to you and I gave you your name, son!" alicia's eyes were glazed.
"You... hiks... really.... hiks ... really is my mother...? I-this isn't... hiks... dream, right?" Zeeta returned her mother's close embrace, soaking her left shoulder with tears that she did not want to stop.
"Uhm! That'sthat's true! Look, even our hair is the same!" Alicia was about to take off her arms, but Zeeta refused.
"Huaaaahhh Ibuuu!! Mothers... Mothers... Ibuuuu!"
Alicia's heart seemed to be scratched to hear Zeeta's cry getting worse and more tightening his hold.
"I... I always .. hiks.. want to meet you! I... I've been so .. struggling to meet you! I went through a lot ... Even I almost lost my life many times!
"I miss you too, Mom!"

"Future" with considerable destruction power from the gigantic roots wrapped around the palace, without the magic from Azure and Mellynda, might just destroy the kingdom of Aurora once again. The roots are many times the size of the children's bodies, it is possible to take their lives if hit or hit by it. However, the results of their training with Luna yielded sweet results—at least so at the beginning.
"Why doesn't Zeeta come out?!" ask Azure. He began to have trouble holding his magic.
"Don't ask me!" reply Mellynda, whose fate is the same as Azure.
A moment later, Ashley along with the other major nobles arrived. There were no questions from them, but action was immediately taken to replace the role of the children.
Ashley, who was the exception among them, immediately asked after the children took a breath. "Where's Zeeta?"
The two children shook their heads. "Can't!" shout them, crossing your arms.
"What?!" squeal Ashley. Then he shifted his face. "What's wrong with them, even at a time like this is still keeping everything a secret?" muttered.

[In the meantime, at the Alexandrita residence.].
Klutzie opened his eyes due to this large-scale commotion. Of course, he did not remember why he was in a place that was foreign to him, with enough facilities for the prince like him, until Siren told him everything he needed to know. He also informs Klutzie of the true danger of the Catastrophe Seal, though Klutzie has seen it.
"I can't use that holy weapon...? Whyyy?! Aren't we both Yggdrasil Seeds?!" Klutzie.
"I admit, I once said you could be worth Zeeta when she destroyed the Hollow with that weapon. But, Luna didn't tell Zeeta about the other side effects of the weapon." Serious musical siren.
"Other side effects?"
"Yes. The weapon lures another dangerous Phantasmal towards the Aurora. Like ... Your sister, Suzy Nebula."
"A... What do you mean...? My sister ... a Phantasmal...? I don't understand!"
"Remember. Phantasmal is like the fruit of the world tree of life—Yggdrasil. The point I'm about to tell you, Suzy's been tricking you."
"So you want to tell me, brother Suzy's goal is to finish off the Yggdrasil Seed?" Klutzie lowered his head, also clamping his hands.
Siren nodded.
"But... What is his relationship with Catastrophe Seal?"
"He will bring his troops to Aurora. The Hollow that Zeeta defeated was threatening, but the army behind Suzy could have been terrible."
"Why can you be so sure? What proof?"
"The nebula won't just go quiet, Lutz! You know how strong modern defenses are!"
Klutzie tightened his grip. "Damn it.... Goddamnit!" He saw the rampage of his giant roots beginning to subside. "What would he do if he knew this? He had protected this kingdom many times from its destruction. If what you're saying is true, it's the same as Feline's prophecy coming true!"
"Catastrophe Seal was stored in the Great Magic Forest and guarded by Dark Elves, Hugo. Knowing how it works, he will train Zeeta there to fully use the holy weapon."
"Huh...?"
"Catastrophe Seal has three forms. Sickle, shield, and magic wand. For now, there was no form he could use for a long time.
"So, this increases the likelihood that Aurora will be threatened with extinction like the Nebula."
"What should I do... The siren?"
Siren grinned. "Simple, Lutz...."
......................
Alicia was sitting holding Zeeta's head on her thigh. While gently stroking Zeeta's hair which was still as much as they pleased, they slowly enjoyed their first time chatting. As if not bothered by the palace guards, they were looking at the trees in the courtyard.
"Zeeta..I'm sorry for making you experience so many scary things." said Alicia.
"Yes...." Zeeta shook her head. "All those things became experiences for me, after all, after meeting you like this, it felt like my annoyance seemed to evaporate, heheh...."
Alicia smiled at him.
"Hey, Mother...?"
"Yes, Honey?"
"Hehehe.. I love Mom!"
Alicia's heart as a mother immediately bloomed hearing him. "I love you too, son!" Alicia then kissed her son's forehead sincerely. Then, he stroked Zeeta's hair again. "Many things happened beyond our expectations. But, thanks to their help out there, you managed to be here with me. I didn't expect that out of everyone I thought would take care of you, it was Arthur."
Alicia's happy heart changed. "He's not here."
"E-uh?! What does that mean...?"
"In order for you to know, I also have to tell you why we're doing this."
"U-uhmm.. okay."
"Then, get ready!"
"Jeez...?" Zeeta sit. "For what...?"
"We'll be sailing in time!"
Alicia then flicked her moon earrings, then they seemed to be pulled into a hole that appeared suddenly. "Whoa?! A-what in—" Zeeta hasn't had time to finish talking, they're sucked into it.
When Zeeta opens her eyes, she is in the kingdom of Aurora, with her activities lively, cheerful, and filled with smiles. Children run around and around with their friends or toys, while teenagers and adults are engrossed in the group like playing with her mana or just spending time shopping. One thing that made Zeeta immediately know this was the past, was that the palace was still wide open and there was no city above the sky.
The two of them would not be realized by anyone in those days, because their bodies seemed translucent.
"This.. eight years ago...?" ask Zeeta.
"No, it's nine years ago."
"What is this power that Queen Clarissa spoke of about her earrings...?" inner Zeeta, "how can you do it...?"
"We will listen to the reasons why your father and I should separate you from us, as well as the reasons why your father is not present with me."
"O-okay...."
Alicia flicked her moon earrings again, they moved where— entered a room in the palace. There, they see Alicia and Hazell talking.
......................
Alicia and Hazell were standing looking at nature, including the lake in her view, from their bedroom window. There, Alicia said something unpleasant.
"Our child is predicted to destroy the world not without reason. This I just found out after seeing an omen, which only the Aurora bloodline can see" Alicia said. He looks angry.
"Handler?" hazell asked, "was that also seen by your mother or your ancestors?"
"I don't know, but this isn't good at all, my husband."
"What's up...?"
"This also relates to Yggdrasil whose information you're hiding from the public."
"Y... Yggdrasil?!"
"Yes, that's right. Did you know that Yggdrasil changed his form into a spirit to bring about a war between humans and magical beings?"
"Yes, of course."
"But, do you know what exactly is the matter of Man to ignite the war? Is that power? A fortune? The fame? Or some other human thing?"
Hazell shook her head.
"That's the fruit."
Hazell doesn't understand.
"My husband, is Yggdrasil really what your ancestral record says, if he were the tree that lived all life?" ask Alicia.
"Wait... You want to say, my ancestral record is wrong?"
"No, honey, no. Think of it like this. In life, there is good and there is evil. If it were to be likened to Yggdrasil, and assume the fruit was Phantasmal, what would Yggdrasil do?"
"Of course, as the tree of life, he keeps living it."
"That's right. Then, in this magical world, it was as if the laws of nature were in effect, but they were not. If you think about it, all this time it was always those who had the great mana that had everything, regardless of whether they were magical beings or humans.
"Have you ever crossed your head, there's such a gaffe in our royal magic?"
Hazell squinted.
"Everyone knows, the first Aurora queen to use magic was the ninth Aurora queen, Clarissa. What about the previous eight Auroras? Isn't Yggdrasil the source of which? Couldn't other kingdoms use magic?"
"If you say it again. You're right...."
"That's why our son became a child of prophecy." Alicia went to sit on the bed. Hazell.
"I saw the sign. The omens show the reason why the Fairy Queen is predicting that our son will destroy the world.
"Regardless of the truth of the prophecy or the reason, the omen did indeed bring evil to the world, which was instead born from the tree of the life of the world itself."
"So you mean... That phantasmal brought ugliness?"
"Uhm. Indeed, not all Phantasmals are like that. But that's the reason. We are not dealing with magical beings, but we are dealing with Yggdrasil itself.
"I don't know why they could be like that, but if we connect the dots, I'm sure this has something to do with what happened to the war of humans and magical beings thousands of years ago."
"This burden is too heavy for a child...." Hazell clutched his hand. "What can we do?"
"Uhm. That's what I've always been looking for since I was a princess, 'what can I do?'. Of course, the answer is that we will be present with him!"
"E-eh. didn't you say in the prophecy...."
"Yes! In his prophecy, we will die. If my mother hadn't told me about Axel and Myra's whereabouts, the Fairy Queen's prophecy would have come true.
"So...."
......................
Zeeta is being carried by her mother for the first time. Although he was pleased with this, the conversation he heard made nothing change in his responsibilities. He will still be faced with many opponents who are strong, tough, and maybe more terrible than all the opponents he has ever faced.
Yes, he will currently be with his parents, but his strength holds the ultimate key to the world's problems. A question rippled through Zeeta's mind, "Am I capable of doing well?"
