8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Stone Eyes 12: The Strange Old Man
*Maut on the Throne of Baturaharja (Eye of Stone)*
“Why are you coming, Sugigi?” surya Kasyara asked, showing an annoyed face.
“Why? You don't like it? We have been betrothed by Gusti Empress. You dare to oppose it?” Sugigi Asmara asked back while trying to hold Surya's right hand.
“I mana dares. I was afraid of being demoted to an ordinary soldier whose work always marched like a duck,” Surya said as he brushed Sugigi's hand from his hand. “But you don't have to go anywhere with me. You should have taken care of Gusti Empress. No need to take water for business only you have to come.”
At that time Surya brought two empty bamboo roofs in addition to his old roof. He was sent to the river to get water.
“Eeeh, I must always be with you. I was afraid, when you went to the river, you actually met with a beautiful soft man waiting for the river was washing clothes,” said Sugigi Asmara.
“Abviously I can't meet women?”
“Cannot be that tempting,” Sugigi.
“Better you come back and take care of Gusti Empress!” surya Kasyara.
“Gusti Empress likes to be with her wolves. I'm confused how to take care of it,” said Sugigi Asmara. “Eh, Solar. I was at a loss to think about the way Gusti Empress fought if in such a blind condition.”
“Hahaha! We are nothing compared to the powers of the empresses. Of all the seven empresses, only the Sword Empress comes close to us. I fought him once when he became evil, but I lost. You see, how Gusti Empress Wolf explored the devotion of the officials of the Kingdom of Baturaharja.”
“Lucky they can be the wives of Gusti Prabu Dira. Wish I were too..”.
“The thing is that you are also the wife of Gusti Prabu, then I will be happy,” said Surya cutting Sugigi's words.
“The back of the heart,” sulky Sugigi frowned, making it look more and more “sweet”.
“It's already been, don't frown like that, I'm so sorry for you. We have reached the river,” said Surya Kasyara.
The river that they came down. So to get the water, they have to go down first.
“I wait here,” Sugigi Asmara said as Surya Kasyara jumped down to the edge of the clear watering river. At that time there was not a single industrial factory, even the household industry was difficult to find in such a hilly area.
“Well, you were the one who forced you to come, but now do not want to accompany down,” rutuk Surya Kasyara. “Review if you arrive in the Kingdom of Little Sanggana, I will ask for a change of partner!”
“Try it if you dare!” sugigi. “I'll poison a woman who dares to be close to you. Hihihi!”
“Hah! You're so mean, Sugigi!” surya Kasyara Tukas. He turned around and looked up at Sugigi.
“I'm just kidding. You're so serious…. Watch out, Surya!” sugigi Asmara said then suddenly shouted loudly.
A dime! The truck!
Suddenly two small pieces of wood shot out to attack Surya Kasyara and Sugigi Asmara.
Surya Kasyara was quick to immerse himself with the usual bamboo roof that he carried. However, the small twig actually broke the roof, also making Surya's body pushed hard into the grassy earth wall behind him.
While Sugigi Asmara jumped agilely avoiding the attack.
Jlegs! Dak!
“Hukh!”
Just as Sugigi landed from his jump, a gray-robed body flashed past the girl. Sugigi was forced to deflect the foot with both hands.
Sugigi Asmara complained and lapsed in the grassy land. He could feel how high the energy within the unknown assailant was.
“How dare to hurt my future wife!” shouted Surya Kasyara who had jumped up with a high powered kick.
Nah! Duk! Sets!
The gray-robed person was easy to fend off with the trunk of his right hand that was like a wooden rod. While his left hand which is also like a piercing wooden hand-hand attacked Surya Kasyara's body.
Quickly Surya Kasyara parried with the roof of his magic, so that the blow was restrained. However, suddenly from behind the man's robe, darted something long like a green but pliable plant stem.
“Hakh!” surya Kasyara's screams were shocked. He was surprised to see the old man's ugly face that was like dry bark. He was also surprised by the appearance of weapons coming out from under the cloak.
The tip of the plant-like trunk hit Surya Kasyara's stomach. Surya Kasyara's body was thrown towards the river.
Jburs!
Surya Kasyara plunged into the water.
Sugigi Asmara already got up and ran attacking the bad-faced old man with his fastest movements. However, all Sugigi Asmara attacks are raw. The fingers of the hand that were like tiny wooden twigs could extend and curl like a rope.
The elongated fingers are then ensnared and bind the right hand Sugigi Asmara. The woman quickly pulled out her keris to cut off the little trunks.
Sets! Bukh!
“Hekh!” screeched Sugigi Asmara as the wooden trunk from behind the strange man's robe shot faster into his stomach.
Sugigi Asmara can not go anywhere because one hand is entangled strongly.
The set! The set!
The trunk, like a plant, then wrapped around Sugigi Asmara's wrist, keeping the girl's hands locked. Suddenly another green trunk appeared which then wrapped around Sugigi's waist hard.
The three snares then lifted Sugigi's body so that it does not rest on the earth. The keris in his left hand fell apart. Sugigi tries to fight back, but the strange human entrapment gets stronger.
Seet!
From under the river, Surya Kasyara's body flew as it was carried away by the delay of the roof of his magic.
Bags!
The arrival of the bamboo roof was pitted with the palm of the old man's ugly face.
The two energies clash occurs. The old man was unmoved, he remained standing quietly in his place. While Surya Kasyara was thrown back and then fell again into the river.
“Tell me, why did you come to Baturaharja Palace!” the old man snapped in a hoarse voice.
“We're just guests!” sugigi replied in pain, as the entanglement on his body was strengthened.
“Long!” point at the old man.
“Really! We are from the new kingdom of Sanggana Kecil, want to introduce ourselves to the neighboring kingdom!” reply Sugigi who started to feel weak because his strength weakened.
“Kingdom Sanggana Kecil,” said the old man slowly, while thinking. “Who is the king of Little Sangana?”
“Prabu Dira Initiative Diwana!” answer Sugigi smoothly.
The set! Prak!
A rock as big as a man's head shot out from the river. The old man's left hand easily punched the stone to pieces.
After that, the figure of Surya Kasyara darted back quickly to fly attracted by the lesion of his old roof.
The bagks!
Again the collision of the roof and the left palm of the old man occurred. However, this time Surya Kasyara's body did not bounce back into the river. He could withstand the effect of meeting those two powerful forces.
Next Surya Kasyara attacked the old man with his drunken style.
“Pepaya hanging in front of door, chicken porridge stirred for crocodile. Whoever annoys my future wife, the grave is the best place for her!” surya Kasyara shouted while blindly attacking the strange man.
Using only his left hand and one leg, Surya's drunken style remains overwhelmed.
Tubs!
On one occasion, the old man's kick was too fast and managed to read the movements of the Drunken Mad Swordsman. The kick slapped Surya's face which made him slam to the ground.
The sreeets!
Suddenly from within the ground sprung brown plant roots that came out like super fast growing shoots. There were five roots that instantly moved wrapped around Surya's legs, both hands and waist. Surya Kasyara could only be shocked in the already entangled condition lying on the ground. (BH)
