Zeeta and the Wizarding World
"Ending the World"
What exactly caused Phantasmal to materialize or what was the reason they existed in this magical world? Does it have anything to do with Yggdrasil and the wars between humans and magical beings thousands of years ago, which finally came to a halt as Yggdrasil was breaking into spirits? Luna will answer all that, including other additional things that she has thought in front of everyone who has been bound by this problem. They were Queen and King, the main nobles, Eclipse, Axel, Myra, Arthur, and the Crescent Void Army. They were gathered in the same chamber—the chamber of the Queen's throne.
The room was filled with silence. They wondered what Luna was trying to reveal.
“I'm starting to understand,” said Luna who started the conversation. He used his human-cloak form. All eyes were on him too. “Reason why Zeeta wants to destroy the world,”. Everyone who heard it immediately wavered. Marcus and Colette are no exception.
“What does it mean?” ask Alicia. He frowned.
“I've been observing Zeeta's growth as long as I've been with her. Indeed, I can't compare my observations with all that the Aurora ancestors have done to change our future.
“But, remember and think once more carefully. No matter how many times you tried to change the future and prevent Zeeta from stepping onto the wrong path, the flow of time that led the world to its destruction has not changed.”
Arthur, who had raised Zeeta for eight years, did not understand what Luna meant. He wanted to be angry, but preferred to be quiet. Everyone is the same.
“Ah, true too. None of you have seen what the future of this kingdom will be like other than me, Zeeta, and some of the Aurora ancestors....
“Good. I'll tell you what we see in the future.”
Luna finally told me about what they were doing while Willmurd's funeral was going on. After hearing everything, Danny, Gerda, and Mellynda looked into their own hands while trembling. Fill their minds the same. “We mutually ... kill...?” and “kak Azure .. die?”
“You need to know,” Luna immediately continued to talk, “although the child became a person whose hands were covered in blood, he still finished what became his burden.”
Everyone scrunched up each forehead.
“The burden of the child is not to be a proper Princess of the kingdom, not to save the kingdom, nor to sacrifice himself for the sake of his people, but to end the world.”
“Hei!” pekik Novalius, he could not take it anymore. “What do you mean by all this?! No kidding! My grandfather died in the hope that the world would be bright! But why is the Princess the opposite? I don't think he's that kind of person!
“If you want to divide us, you better be prepared!” Novalius rode and gave off his silver aura. He was about to stab Luna with his newly created magic spear.
“Novalius!” exclaim Alicia who surprised Novalius with her loud voice, “control yourself and let Luna talk. Don't you understand this is an emergency? Don't waste my time with your bullshit!
“Silence and listen.”
Novalius soon shrunk and soon controlled himself. “I'm sorry, Your Honor, I'm sorry, Luna.”
Luna shook her head while sighing. He continued talking again. “I know if the sentence ‘ending world’ means destroying the world, but that's not what it means.
“Actually, desire ‘to end the world’ has been around for a long time. In fact, a lot of people think that way. It's just that, often the result of that desire does not materialize with what is truly desired.
“For example, Laura. He wants the world that always hurts his sister and himself to end and be completely free from all the pain they experience, both inner and physical. But ironically, she meets the mischievous Fairy who makes her a witch, her sister becomes the new Queen of Aurora, and changes this world in the blink of an eye at the end of her life.
“Think, did ‘'s wish to end his world’ materialize? In the end, he died and was unable to realize his true wish.”
The nobles who were there knew who Luna meant.
“Hey hey hey... don't tell me, that Laura...” Arthur second guess.
Luna nodded. “Yes. She is the sister of the ninth Queen Aurora, Clarissa. The queen and her brother used to be ordinary villagers.”
“Why can a Yggdrasil Spirit like you know such a thing?!” peek Arthur, “I know you are the Spirit who lives this world, but still not enough to explain it! You don't even have proof!”
“Uhm.” Luna agreed, then pointed towards Myra and Axel. “But what if I told you if a witness saw it all?” The two so-called names closed their eyes.
“A-what?!”
Alicia clutched her hand. “Then!” pekiknya, “why does my daughter want to end the world?! Just tell me the point! Past issues let's talk about later!” he was fixated on his son's problems.
Luna looked seriously at Alicia. “The future we visit, is a world where the people who can use magic are all left in that palace. Zeeta, Gerda, Danny, and Mellynda.”
Everyone is listening to it.
“Although...., I am not sure if Zeeta is aware of it or not,” continued Luna, “I cannot reveal the reason why she never wanted to change that desire, no matter how hard you try to change it. I don't know. To be sure, in that world, where nature no longer existed, magical beings like Eclipse, Ozy, Axel and Myra, had already vanished from civilization.
“That means, something happened that caused Zeeta to start terbesit want ‘end the world’. If my hunch is correct, it happened when he met Phantasmal who was heading here.”
Alicia hit the handle of the chair with her fist. “Then what are we waiting for? Don't let him meet them no matter what. We all have to—“
“Must be!” a voice came from the door of the room. He is Siren. Beside him was Klutzie.
“You...!?” Danny and his group are on standby, but they ignore the alert and soon confront Alicia, and he lets them face him.
“What do you mean by impossible? Are you saying we don't have enough power?” ask Alicia.
“No. I admit you're all very strong and tough. But, perhaps you, Queen, if Phantasmal can not be defeated without a holy weapon that can only be used Zeeta— especially Phantasmal who has adapted and has a mindset.”
Alicia bit her finger. He was forgotten about that fact. “Sialang. No other way, huh?”
“No, actually there,” timpal Luna.
“No. Zeeta MUST be present in this battle,” said Luna, “Siren correct. Phantasmal cannot be defeated without the Catastrophe Seal, but you can do something to those without attachment.”
“Ah, so, yes!” Siren knows what Luna means.
“Please, explain in more detail,” pinta Hazell, “whatever happens, we should be able to protect Zeeta!”
Luna nodded.
“First, you must understand first, what are the reasons and why Phantasmal can exist in this world..”.
......................
While Luna explains the origin of Phantasmal, Zeeta who is still in the residence of the Elders of the Elves, Hugo, is also explained about the same thing.
“The Ephemeral Land is a continent where all the dreams one wants to see can be realized,” said Hugo, who explained the origins of Phantasmal to Ozy, Aria, and Zeeta. “It was manifested from the wishes of this Earth itself, without Yggdrasil's interference.
"In other words, together with Yggdrasil, the Ephemeral Land also nourishes the world.
“Thousands of years ago, the Ephemeral Land was a peaceful, beautiful continent, with all the dreams one wanted to see so simple and childish. Dreams are like fruit that feels good, manifest a smile on everyone, until the dream of the world always wants peace with Yggdrasil. They ... dreamt well.
“Unfortunately, over time the creatures in this world become increasingly greedy, and make the Ephemeral Land actually realize the dream that he saw actually become a reality. Pollution is something that cannot be avoided as time goes on.
“As the name implies, the Ephemeral Land can only realize or show the dream that one wants only for a while. Those dreams are mere mortality. Of course there is a reason behind this.”
“If someone is stuck in the past or does not want to move to change his life," Aria quickly added, "so the dream he saw or was chasing could never be realized— is the same as someone torturing himself.”
Hugo nodded. “It's true. The world alone did not want the creatures in it to be weak. But, as I said, slowly the dream that one wanted to see began to get dirty and caused the Ephemeral Land to lose its true identity, and give birth to creatures that bring about destruction every time, but it still carries out its role as the embodiment of dreams.
“Dreams, can be said to be equivalent to what a person is strongly emitting at one particular time. For example, Zeeta, when you want to save the world, there is a possibility that Phantasmal will come from that desire.
“Lantas, why would I call that a possibility?"
Hugo gets the headband from Zeeta.
“Simple. To balance the world itself. If this world wants something to change, then the destiny that lives it is on someone. I gave an example to Lucy. If the world wants him like that, then that's his destiny.”
Hearing him, Zeeta's eyebrows immediately twitched. “Hah? So, you said you let that happen?!”
“Yes. When you become someone who carries a burden like me, you have to look at things from a different and rational point of view.
“This world is about to change and that change is brought about by many actors, including me, Ozy, Aria, and yourself.
“Don't tell me I never thought of stopping this shit, but still." Hugo raised both his hands and shook his head.
“A cruel twist of the world like this must be stopped immediately. The Ephemeral Land no longer embodies dreams in the world, but vice versa. In response to that impropriety, the Catastrophe Seal exists.
“Phantasmal is a creature that should not exist in this world. Those who have adapted and patterned thought, will only experience bitter things when they know this. They don't know if they're just the embodiment of someone's emotions or dreams that shouldn't be alive.
"Therefore, their desire to live gives them a bond in a world so powerful that it causes disaster upon the world itself, and must be overcome by the Catastrophe Seal. Too ironic, if I have to be clear.
“Zeeta, I bet you know something to end this cruel world of magic, ‘kan?”
Zeeta was stung. “I-it...” He can't say it.
Ozy smiled after hearing everything. “Ozy...?” Aria wondered about what this Giant was thinking.
“So,” says Ozy, “you have indeed lost heart, Hugo.” He did not remove his smile.
Hugo returned Ozy's smile with the same lip painting. “Ha ha ha, thank you for your praise.”
While Aria is lost in her mind, Zeeta
clutching his hand firmly. He knew what the two of them meant, and he was not happy to know.
“Alright!” exclaim Hugo, “there is still about nine hours before Phantasmal it reaches the kingdom of Aurora. Until then, at least master one form of Catastrophe Seal. The Great Magic Forest will also prepare if the worst-case scenario arises.” Hugo raised his foot outside his residence.
“Nah, Zeeta...” Ozy puts his right hand on Zeeta. “Come start workout—“
“Wait a minute!” scream an Elf from outside. She is
Mintias. “Do not make our hard efforts wasted! Zeeta, you have to come with me first. It didn't take long. Give us thirty minutes!” Mintias
immediately enter the residence and pull Zeeta, then quickly exit again.
Seeing it all happen quickly, Ozy and Aria were stunned.
