A1ma Goddess Two Teeth
Papepa 1: Alma-Debur Arrested

*The Arrow Fighters (Papepa)*

The Balongan Duchy warriors hung a series of bamboo slats knitted on tree trunks, which grew on the west side of the market. The west side can be referred to as the front side of the market, because it faces the main road of the Duchy of Balongan.

After the two soldiers left what he had hung, the citizens around the place immediately swarmed the trees, on the side where the notice board hung. Although it is made of bamboo slats, we call it a board.

Although the notice board was only hung, not nailed, no one dared to touch it, let alone pick it up. Rules in the Duchy of Balongan, only soldiers who are tasked can install, touch to take the notice board. If anyone other than the soldier touches it, it will be captured and imprisoned.

That is why the name of the notice board is always safe from the hands of ignorant.

The notice board is only for people who are literate, does not apply to those who are only image literate. The notice board announced the twelve names of the men who passed the selection as Arrow Fighters. They will compete tomorrow morning at the capital square of Balongan. So, Balongan Duchy has the capital of the same name, Balongan.

“See! Bandeng Prakas is coming to the game!” a man shouted while pointing.

“But why is he coming? Hasn't she never been with me?” ask another young man.

“The skill of Bandeng Prakas arrows is no doubt. He would definitely compete fiercely against the Duke's son. Because the main prize is the Kepal Kepeng girl, the match will definitely take place excitingly,” said the other youth gave a little analysis. “Surely you have not heard that Bandeng Prakas and Arya Mungkara both like Kepal Kepeng's daughter.”

“Ah, is that correct?”

“Iya. Ten serious.”

“Eh uh see!” said another young man. “There's the name of Snake Eyes Swordsman!”

“I just heard that name this time. His name is also terrible.”

“I think he's a warrior of the martial world.”

“If you look at the names, tomorrow's game must be very exciting. There is Ujang Barendo son of a jengkol juragan, there is Balingga son of a fish master. Eh, the younger brother of the Duchy Treasurer's son also came along. How can? So, what's this name? Soul Degrees.”

“Maybe it's the youth of the neighboring duchy.”

That's how people talk about the announcement.

At that moment, there came a horse-dagger escorted by three horsemen. They stopped in curiosity to see the crowd in front of the Capital Market.

“Kang Debur, take a look, what those people saw!” alma's orders to Debur Angkara.

Debur Angkara got off his horse. He went behind the crowd. His body which was quite tall was actually already able to see what was hanging on the tree trunk.

“Surge! Move!” shouted Debur Angkara while pulling the shoulder of the person in front of him to give way to him for more forward. Maybe for Debur Angkara, less afdol if not look closely.

Because the person who pulled their shoulders and shifted their bodies was a big, muscular and joking man, the citizen gave access and space to the hero. Debur Angkara looked seriously at the notice board. However, as soon as Debur Angkara glared at the notice board, he still did not understand, because the real Swordsman of Iwaklelet Village was illiterate.

Irritated to not understand, Debur Angkara then went ahead and grabbed the notice board. Debur Angkara easily removed it from the wood on the tree trunk. Surprised that all the people saw that.

“Eeeh! Don't take it, Kisanak!” one of the residents shouted to prevent.

“Iya, don't take it!” yell at the others.

“It's against the rules, Kanak!” exclaim another citizen.

“Heh! I just borrowed it for a minute!” debur Angkara snapped to the men, while his hand held a notice board consisting of a series of bamboo slats, which had his writing and a list of twelve people's names.

“But, that ..” said one resident again, but it was interrupted because Debur Angkara had already swerved at him while his left hand held one handle of his cleaver.

Debur Angkara then went to the pedati to hand over the notice board. However, just now Debur Angkara's hand stall to Alma, suddenly ….

“Stop!” shouted one voice of a man so loud and heart-shocking.

Alma then accepted the notice board. They all turned to look at the source of the sound. They saw two soldiers in dark red uniforms running over, then stopping beside the horse. The two soldiers instantly wielded swords.

“You have broken the law, must be arrested!” exclaim the soldier who has great guts, because they are not afraid to see the existence of Debur Angkara and Garam Sakti which are full of muscle lumps.

“Hei! We prohibit what law?!” yelled Ayu Speakar did not accept the soldier's accusation.

“Not prohibit the law, but you are breaking the law!” toilet the soldier.

Pliu pliu …!

Suddenly the other soldier blew a bamboo whistle that made a shrill sound.

The blow turned out to be a sign of a call for help. Evidently, from several directions, soldiers sprang up who ran towards the place. They were armed only with swords, not armed with shields or spears.

“It looks like we have committed a violation that we do not know, Alma,” said Colour Mekararum who can see the situation. Now he can sit leaning back, differently before he was treated at Black Finger College.

“Iya, Mother. According to Grandma, what is our attitude?” ask Alma.

“If we are wrong, yes wrong. Don't try to make our mistakes right. If we are indeed breaking the law, then we must accept the punishment,” said Warna Mekararum Weak.

“Good, Grandma. I will make clear first what violations we do,” said Alma.

“Give up you guys!” the soldier's orders.

Now there were about twenty swordsmen who surrounded Alma's entourage.

“Tell first what violation we did!” exciting Alma.

“The man has taken the notice board from its place. He should be arrested and imprisoned!” exclaim that soldier again.

Debur Angkara heard that. He climbed up pitam.

“Hey, Warrior! I just took a moment to show it to my leader. I'll put it in its place again! I'll cut you off later!” debur Angkara said.

From the back of the soldiers appeared a horse riding on the retainer of the soldier. Seeing the appearance of their lord, the soldiers immediately gave way to appear in front.

“Kisaak, Nisanak! The man had violated the rules of the Duchy of Balongan. Touching the notice board will be sentenced to one full prison. Taking out the notice board will be imprisoned three full moons. And tampering with the bulletin board would be jailed five full moons. While wiping out the notice board will be jailed for one year!” exclaimed the thick-moustached, bare-chested man on horseback, reciting the ban on the notice board.

“Oh so. Uncle, so this Kang Debur should be imprisoned three full moons, huh?” ask Alma to make sure.

“True. But if he doesn't put up a fight when he's arrested. If he fought back, then the punishment would be even more severe. If you fight a soldier plus one full prison, injuring a soldier plus three full prison, paralyzing a soldier plus one year in prison, and killing a soldier plus five years in prison!” obviously a soldier on horseback.

The more upset Debur Angkara heard the threat of the prison. He swallowed violently.

“Uncle, what's your name?” ask Alma.

“I'm the Capital Security Commander. My name is Gendas Pati!” the soldier replied, Jumawa.

“I ordered Kakang Debur to take this notice board. So, can I be the only one you catch?” tanya Alma, made Colour Mekararum and a group of surprised, especially Debur Angkara.

“Can't! Witnesses witness and evidence prove that only he was the lawbreaker, with the threat of imprisonment for three full moons!” commander Gendas Pati.

“Give me that board, Kang Debur!” pinta Alma to Debur who stood at the side of the pedati.

Debur the innocent also gave the notice board to Alma, making the Color Mekararum and Magar Kepang widened again.

“Uncle Gendas Pati, this notice board is now in my hands. Then you should catch me too!” alma said calmly.

“True!” sahut Gendas Pati's.

“Hey, Debur! Why did you give the notice board to Alma?!” the Hardik Magar Kepang.

“Because Alma asked, so I gave,” replied Debur Angkara as is, with a confused facial expression.

“Hahaha! Uh, it's not up for debate, Uncle,” Alma told Magar Kepang, who was preceded by a laugh, pointing out that his detention was not troublesome. “For a moment, I want to see the contents of this notice board first.”

Alma Fatara then looked at what was on the notice board.

“Wah, it looks like an interesting match event, Nek,” Alma said to Colour Mekararum. He then gave the notice board back to Debur Angkara. “Restore to his place, Kang Debur!”

Debur Angkara. His face color was not as strong as it was. Alma will be imprisoned, making him feel more comfortable and calm. Let alone imprisonment, falling into the abyss, as long as with Alma, it seems that hardship is not suffering.

Debur Angkara then went back to hang the notice board on the tree trunk, where the board should be.

“Talk, Accompany Granny Color. You all listen to Grandma Colour's instructions. Kang Debur and I will not stay in jail for long!” alma said it was managing the affairs of her group.

“Good, Alma!” answer Magar Kepang and Garam Sakti together.

“Good, Charity!” answer Ayu Speak.

Alma then came down from the sword to surrender.

“Come, Kang Debur, we go feel the prison! Hahaha!” take Alma and laugh.

“Hahaha!” debur Angkara Laughter. (BH)
