ADJOINING REALM
TREATY

Hearing the words of the young man in front of him, Darto immediately nodded as he said, "I told you, we will help you all if we can."

Hearing Darto's words the young man again asked, "Sorry before, but ... What's the name of the kisanak?"

"Astagfirullah, sorry we've been disrespectful for not introducing ourselves at all. I am Darto, this is Jaka, and behind us is Maung and Komang" said Darto as he introduced himself and others.

"Well, Mas Darto. My name is Arya, now we can start," said Arya then approached and sat cross-legged in front of Darto.

"What are we going to start?" Darto was a little confused.

"If I were just explaining, you'd think it was just a lie. Better Mas Darto see for himself what happened to our leader," said the young man then said, "Sorry ...."

After saying an apology, Arya held Darto's head with one hand. He brought Darto's forehead closer to his, until the two of their eyebrows clashed.

Shortly after Darto and Arya's forehead touched, Arya began to cast a spell using very ancient language, she mentioned Darto's name in the middle, and suddenly his body disappeared like a puff of smoke, he said, while Darto immediately collapsed in front of his three travel friends.

Jaka, Maung and Komang were a little surprised because Darto suddenly fainted, but his worries subsided after two Aryan parents said that his son was taking Darto to see what they had experienced.

Hearing the explanation, finally Maung, Komang and Jaka immediately put on a relieved face, and agreed to wait for the return of his friend.

On the other hand, Darto and Arya returned to the last moments Ki Gandar saw his citizens burning. The vile thing that still makes Darto's heart sliced, even though he has seen it twice.

"Why did you bring me here, Arya?" ask Darto with a downcast face.

"Let's go in" Arya asked as she stepped into the flames.

Darto who had no choice but to obey Arya's request without thinking, he stepped behind Arya until they reached the middle of a pile of bodies that were blazing without a sound.

Step by step Darto and Arya passed through the pile of bodies, until there was a man who was still standing firmly with clothes that were almost perfectly burned. The man was facing a stranger in the eyes of Darto, a creature that Darto and Jaka had seen, when putting their faces into the pit at the request of Eyang Semar first. From there it can be ascertained if the man was talking about one last request before his body burned perfectly, he asked the figure who became an enemy, for one interest of his own.

The closer, the clearer the face of the man who was standing in front of him, Ki Axar who entered the last to the pile of corpses of its citizens, the more, it turns out not to be charred to be part of that vile incident in the past. He looked fine, only his clothes were starting to erode the fire until all the cloth was almost finished on his body.

"How, Axle?" There was a huge voice saying the word, he tried to offer something to ki Gandar.

"Obviously, I'll give you whatever you ask, as long as I can repay all the treatment my family and all the citizens received!" replied Ki Axle with a confident look.

"Alright, now respond to all those who are related to Sendang Langit, do not leave any living, whether it is a soldier's son or a lover whom they have not married. The more you burn, the more we'll get the same benefits. I got their souls, and you took your revenge. In return, the souls of your citizens I will not touch in the slightest, that's your part" said the figure, grinning at the back of a row of fully sharp teeth.

Seeing Ki Gandar nod, the figure immediately bit his index finger, then said, "Face up, and open your mouth."

Ki Axar instantly complied, he opened his mouth wide then let the ugly figure in front of him stick out a finger above his mouth. From the bite marks on the index finger of the figure, fresh green blood dripped into Ki Axar's mouth.

After three drops of his blood entered into Ki Gandar's mouth, Ki Gandar's body slowly became red. All the bodies that had been completely unclad turned so red, as red as the crab that was being boiled in hot water.

In an instant Ki Gandar instantly collapsed and wriggled on top of the pile of corpses that were blazing, he even strangled his own neck that felt very burning. Slowly Ki Gandar's body became increasingly red, he continued to turn brighter until finally his body actually became a burning ember, but even so his consciousness did not leave his body at all.

Ki Gandar became a figure known as Banaspati, he could control the fire as he pleased and without a second thought he went around touching every body of citizens who were burning.

Every body touched by Ki Gandar's fingers, instantly became a charcoal that blazed like his body. After everything was finished being touched by his hand he came back to meet the figure who had already gotten a deal from him and said, "Give them their souls back."

"All right, take their souls. But replace it with all souls who have a relationship with the celestial jaws! Even all the families of fighters who did not graduate became kings, you must submit without rest!" answer the figure while touching the shoulder of Ki Gandar.

After Ki Gandar's shoulder was touched, it was like being hit by the flow of a very high waterfall hit his body. The hundreds of souls that had originally been taken by the figure in front of him, were forcibly put into Ki Gandar's flaming body.

After receiving hundreds of souls, the blaze on Ki Gandar's body completely enlarged. He turned into a giant fireball and soared high afterwards. Then Ki Gandar split his body into eight, then towards all the places that have a connection with the celestial jaws.

The first place he came to was the kingdom itself, he completely grounded the scorched everything there, even until the ants living underground were also burned by his anger.

"So? You just want to show me the deal?" asked Darto after witnessing all the fateful events.

"Holding my hand, there is still "Arya replied as she extended her hand.

Darto immediately held Arya's hand, then they moved to a place that had also been Darto and Jaka visited before. She is taken by Arya to Ki Gandar's house, where her parents are still waiting for her husband's return despite a week of tragedy.

The guilty look of Ki Gandar who was watching his wife and two children from the corner of the room. Ki Gandar really wants to say goodbye to his wife and two children, but his body has become part of the natural population next door.

So when after all his revenge paid off, Ki Gandar only had one small wish in his heart. He stopped all this suffering, after saying goodbye to his beloved wife and children.

To this day, where Darto and Jaka arrived in the village that moved to the base of Ireng, Ki Gandar still continues to confine himself because he has not been able to say goodbye, even after his wife and son died.
