A WASTED KNIGHT
Syrdarya Corridor
Wiraksara dyed then approached the burned body
check it out for a moment and then comment
“It looks like they burned because of the Sacred Fire of Azura
Mahda, I think Mehrak has also come here. Not Mehrak and
the people of the Golden Pyramid Sect are fighting over the Fire Gem.”
“True, they burned because of Sacred Fire. Maybe Mehrak
lost the fight so he was forced to run to save himself.”
They returned to pursue Maheen westward. Day
it was late at night, when they reached the steppe area (grassland).
From the top of the hill they found some tents and a flock of sheep
and horse. On the road at the foot of the hill, there are several caliphs
carry their merchandise in a caravan.
“Where are we now?” Ask Wiraksara.
We have reached Syrdarya, we will stay here,
I have some friends here. Hopefully they stay here and not
travel again,” says Hamzah.
They went down the hill to Syrdarya an ancient region located in
Kazakhstanis. That place is visited a lot
by traders from abroad who will go west or east. Subsequent to
passing through the campground they begin to enter the city and plan to spend the night in
Syrdaya.
Meanwhile, Maheen, who is being held captive by Shaktar, has
locked in a heavily guarded room. Maheen is crying inside
his room did not expect that his decision to leave Wiraksara and visit
the market for being irritated by Wiraksara's behavior has made it inside
trap the hunters of the Four Elements Gem Azura Mahda.
Shaktar stared at him sharply making Maheen terrified
“What are you going to do to me?! Get away from you
my front!”
Shaktar did not care, he continued to approach the frightened Maheen.
“Don't worry, I won't stain you Miss. Your chastity
I'll just give it to Anubis, I'm not interested in you at all.
Now where is the Fire Gem?”
Maheen shook her head
“I don't know!”
Shaktar called out to his guards
“Call Heba The priestess came here and told her to search the girl's body
it!”
Shortly afterwards came a cold-faced girl and
slightly pale. He wears all-white clothes with a tall hat like
Nefertiti the Queen of Egypt and the gold jewelry that is in her body.
“Your Highness Prince Shaktar, any orders so
calling me here?” Ask Heba.
“Heba, find that Fire Gem on her body, she is Girl
Sacred of Kahyangan Fire, the fifth element we have been looking for all this time,” command
Shaktar's.
Heba looked surprised and exclaimed stifled, a hue of excitement
looks on his face
“Ah, it turns out she's the fifth element we've been looking for all this time.
The old Misr will be back as it was.”
Heba turned to the guards and gave the order
“Hold the girl, if she won't hand over the jewels
that's myself I'm going to ransack him!”
Some of the bodyguards held Maheen
Shaktar immediately stroked Maheen's body in search of the Fire Jewel. Maheen
wept in fear as Heba's hands groped his body. When we arrive at
maheen's chest, Heba's hand stopped and his hand moved into Maheen's pocket
behind his shirt. Maheen is crying again, it's over, the Jewel of Fire is now
will be controlled by the Golden Pyramid Sect.
“Well, the Fire gem I got!” The Heba with
blissfully.
Maheen wept realizing the jewel was already in hand
his enemy, imagined already the priests in the Fire Kahyangan Temple must be disappointed
because Maheen failed to bring back the Jewel of Fire.
“Good Heba, now we just need to find the jewel of Water and
Earth Gem. The news of the jewel of Fire had spread. It must be now the
the owner of the Azura Mahda element gem started busy looking for the existence of this Fire Gem,” said
Shaktar's.
"We already have Metal and Fire Gems, but we still have to look for Water Gems and Earth Gems, hopefully we can find them soon" Heba said.

Wiraksara and Hamzah entered a diner, in which there were many visitors, most of whom were merchants and travelers. While waiting for their meal to finish cooking, Wiraksara and Hamzah sat down to enjoy tea. A few merchants near their table started conversing. At first the conversation was a casual one but a traveler from Kazakhstan told me
"Tonight there's an art show in the town square. One of the performances was the performance of Gulya who would sing and dance."
Another traveler said
"The voice of the Gulya is like the voice of a holy angel, so clear and pure. We can't miss it because the sound can also cure disease. This time there must be something special so that Gulya wants to sing in public after 7 years never singing in public."
"Yes, last he sang when there was a plague of Pes disease about to strike, then when the bubonic plague was in progress he went back to singing to heal the people who contracted the disease. After he sang, the plague gradually disappeared. Ah, every time she sings, like a warning of danger scares me. This time there must be something special so that he mamu singing in public after so long never appeared," another friend chimed in.
"But what incident made Gulya willing to sing again? It seemed like this time there was no outbreak of illness or natural disaster like before
A merchant from Turkey, when he heard the story of the Kazakh travelers, walked to their table and asked
"Can the sound of the Gulya really cure disease?"
"From my experience that fact is true, the voice of the Gulya is different from the human voice in general. Try watching it in the North square and after that you will feel a different sensation" said the wanderer.
"Of course I will watch it with my sickly father, I hope that after hearing the voice of Gulya my father will be healed" the merchant said.
Hearing their conversation at the next table, Hamzah seemed to be interested as well
"Wiraksara, would you like to watch the show of Gulya as well? The sound of the welya can cure diseases. Gulya rarely performs unless there is something special. This time there must be something that makes him want to do a show after more than 5 years he does not sing in public."
"But tomorrow we still have to look for Maheen's whereabouts, we'd better rest tonight" Wiraksara suggested.
But Hamza refused
"No, I'm still going to watch the show, who knows by watching the show we'll get important information."
It turned out that not only was Hamzah interested in the staging of the Gulya, Heba the priestess of the Golden Pyramid Sect was also interested in the staging of the Gulya. That night, Heba asked permission to watch the performance of the Gulya in the square.
"Your Highness Prince Shaktar, I beg you permission to go out to watch the show of the Gulya in the city."
Shaktar frowned, it seemed that he did not like Heba going to watch Gukya's show.
"Why did you watch the song show of Gulya? Who is he, so you want to watch him?"
"While His Highness the Prince, Gukya is not just any singer, he is a messenger from the sky. If he was willing to sing in front of a crowd, there must be something he wanted to say. He last sang 7 years ago when Syrdarya was hit by a bubonic plague. And the most special thing is, the sound of the Gulya can cure bubonic plague" Heba said.
Shaktar looked stunned, but a moment later he nodded
"Well Heba, if he's so special, I'll watch it.
******
That night in the square a crowd of people had gathered waiting for Heba's appearance. Wiraksara and Hamzah have been sitting with the locals waiting for the appearance of Gulya. The arrival of the audience was not only to enjoy the sound of the Gulya but also to want to know what message the Gulya would deliver this time.
Moments later, Gulya appeared on stage with a traditional Kazakh guitar Dombra and began singing. This time the song she sang was so heartbreaking. Gukya's voice shrieked high in the voice of Dombra..
For some reason this time when he heard the voice of Gulya, Wiraksara felt his body was so relaxed. Suddenly he felt his chest tight, something wanted to be taken out of his chest like a sick cough person who wanted to spit out his phlegm, Wiraksara coughed loudly and black blood came out of his mouth. Wiraksara was surprised and muttered
"It looks like these are the remnants of the poison that once attacked me."
