A WASTED KNIGHT
The Strange Boatman

Wiraksara was stunned, his enemy this time not only had

martial arts are great but also have dangerous magic.

Seeing Wiraksara speechless, Hamzah approached him and said

“Don't worry, as great as someone's magic, he

he will not be able to overcome the power of God. Take it easy, believe that

God will help us.”

The next day, they continued their journey

Kahyangan Temple Fire.  By maghrib, by,

they arrived at the edge of the Khazar Sea (the ancient name of the Caspian Sea) and stopped at one place

wharf.

“Our destination is near, just cross the Khazar Sea

after that we have arrived at Kahyangan Fire Temple,” said Hamzah.

“But how can we cross this sea? Nonexistent

one of the boatmen who will take us to the Temple of Fire,” said

Wiraxar.

Hamzah was stunned, he only realized that time by the sea

The Khazar situation was so deserted that no fishing boats passed by nor services

crossings.

Strange, even though in the spring this is usually a boat still there

until afternoon. Why are these fishermen not fishing today? Thought Hamzah.

“Usually there are fishing boats that will go to sea, should be

they have started to go to the sea. Maybe because of the weather

it has started to fog so they postpone fish-seeking activities. If

as soon as we stayed here last night. May the fishermen be prepared

receive us in their home,” said Hamzah.

The fog is getting thicker, the true surface of the ocean is

the salty lake began to be covered in fog. Suddenly Wiraksara exclaimed

“Hey look, there's a boat coming here, hopefully he

ready to take us across.”

Hamzah turned his head in the direction Wiraksara pointed. Amongst

fog, faintly seen a boat with one figure who was rowing

boat. The boat was getting closer and closer to the dock. When the boat

arriving before them, on the boat appeared a figure wearing a robe

there's a black head covering. His face was not so clear because

the foggy situation and the hood of his head covered most of it

his face, plus the figure was always lowered as if he wanted to hide

her face.  Even when he spoke

his eyes did not even look at his interlocutor. His hand held the paddle

it looked pale white, either because it was cold or it was naturally like

that's.

Wiraksara and Hamzah heard the figure say

“Please take a boat, I will take you across there.”

Wiraksara and Hamzah looked at each other, then Hamzah

enquired

“Alright, how much does it cost to cross per person?”

“No need to pay, it's free,” replied the boatman

that's.

Hamzah and Wiraksara tried to see the face of the boatman,

but the man always looked away if they tried to see

her face.

Hamzah was hesitant, but because it was dark

and the journey was nearing its end, so he took Wiraksara on a boat.

“Let's take a boat instead of having to spend the night here,”

Hamzah.

They took a boat and crossed the Khazar Sea.  The journey felt so long, while the fog

getting thicker.

“Hei boatman, this fog is so thick, are you still

can sail in this situation?” Ask Wiraksara.

The sound of the boatman answering

“Wind shows me the way and takes me away

follow him.”

Wiraksara found it strange to hear the boatman's answer, but he did not comment further.  The boatman rowing his boat drove

piercing through the fog unhindered as if his boat had eyes that could pierce through

the fog was thick and knew which way he should head.  A few moments later they arrived at

opposite.  The boat docked at the pier and

come down both of them. At that moment Wiraksara saw a face

the boatman. It turned out that the boatman was faceless, all looking dark

and black.  Wiraksara exclaimed stifled

in shock

“Hah?!”

Suddenly the boatman looked at them,

now his black and flat face began to appear clear. Sounding

“Ha ha ha ha, apparently you already know huh? Be careful, yes,

after this you will face more obstacles!”

Soon enough, the boat and the boatman suddenly arrived

it disappeared within the fog but the laughter of the boatman still continued to echo.

Hamzah turned to Wiraksara, then patted his shoulder

he was awakened from his surprise and

he took her back to walk and said

“Already, the important thing is that he doesn't bother us. Earlier

I heard him warn us that in front of us there are many things

danger us. Whoever he is I think it's true, hopefully Maheen

still can survive.”

“Do you know who he is?”

“They are the keeper of Kahyangan Api, I myself do not know where

they stay. Occasionally they sometimes appear if the weather is foggy and show

road to Kahyangan Api,” said Hamzah.

“Is the temple near?” Ask Wiraksara.

“Still far away, but it's dark, we better

rest first at the inn. There are many lodgings around the place

this,” Hamzah said.

Wiraksara just realized that his stomach was hungry, he

want to immediately

Wiraksara and Hamzah walked towards the Kahyangan Fire Temple.

Along the way they pass through mountains that inflame fire, so that

the cold air of the night was not felt because of the terrible fire

it warms the air around it.  Wiraksara who was astonished then asked

“Master, what kind of place is this? Why is this place surrounded

fire like in hell?”

“The name is Kahyangan Api, of course there are many sources

eternal fire in this place. These fires are never extinguished even in the rain and snow season, ” replied Hamzah.

Meanwhile Shaktar and his followers succeeded

master the Fire Shrine and kill the priests inside. Maheen is

wrathful to see his temple is now the scene of a massacre his friends exclaim

angry at Shaktar

“Civilized you are Shaktar, you kill my friends and you kotori

our sacred temple with blood!”

“Be quiet, I still need you to

it generates the energy of the 5 elements. So you better rest and don't

just cry!” Jerky Shaktar.

“Heba, take him to his room to rest, give him

enough food!” Shaktar's Order.

Some soldiers immediately dragged Maheen and locked her up

in one room. Heba the priestess of the Golden Pyramid Sect approached

Maheen and warned again

“It is better to save your energy, too much crying will

make your energy run out. Obey his orders, don't make Prince Shaktar angry,

if he gets into a rampage we're bothered to deal with him!”

Heba stopped talking, some servants came in

food in Maheen's room, after putting their food immediately out of the room.

“Well, now you have to eat after that break for

recover your energy, now eat!” heba's orders.

Seeing Maheen who was still down crying, Heba exited the room slamming the door

leaving Maheen who still continues to cry.

*****

Outside the room, Shaktar was eating and

drink served by his servants. Looking at Heba, Shaktar called out to him and said

“Heba, keep our fifth element from falling

pain.”

Heba stopped walking and stood in front of Shaktar's table.

After saluting Heba said

“He is fine, Your Majesty there are currently two

the Azura Mahda gem that we control.

What about the other elements? We'll have trouble finding

the existence of the other jewel holders.”

“Temple, once we arrive at Kahyangan Fire Temple with

Element Five, Metal Gem and

Fire Gem, the three of them will send out waves of energy searching for that gem

othersmore.  The energy waves are very

strong, surely soon they will be heading here,” Shaktar said.

Suddenly there was a noise in the most temple buildings

next, a short time later a woman appeared to enter the temple

“Shaktar, give us those jewels!”
