Blind Devil
Crossing to the Island of Bali

“Mother...mom! Sri Buwana Dewi cried while her tears poured out.

Shortly after Sri Buwana Dewi shouted, green rays emerged from the sea.

Whuts!

A beautiful woman dressed in the style of a green palace with a crown on the head arrived in front of Sri Buwana Dewi.

The adoptive mother of the Goddess Buwana, commonly called Nyai Ratu, smiled.

“I know one day, this will happen,” continued Nyai Ratu.

“Buwana Dewi you definitely did not accept when you heard Aria Pilong was about to kill your parents, right not what I said? Ask Nyai Queen Ruler of the seas.

Buwana Dewi nods her head.

“Listen to this story, before you make a decision,” Nyai Queen of the sea said, then continue the story as Mpu Barada told Aria and her entourage.

After telling the story, Nyai Ratu said while staring at the child he had been foster since from the baby.

“I asked Barada to ask Aria Pilong for help, to kill Banyu Alas, because I promised not to intervene against him, if your father Banyu alas was not stopped, he said, this world will be muddled by the intention of Banyu Alas who will destroy the world.

“Only your blood can kill Banyu Alas and that also makes Aria Pilong hesitate to intervene, after you get close to him.

“Whether or not you're on Aria's side, the young man will continue what he promised to help me kill Banyu Alas.

“The biological father who abandoned your mother and you since you were in the womb and stole two heirlooms from the underwater palace, try to think back! Is it worth it for someone like that to defend you? Ask His Queen.

His queen ruler of the ocean seemed to take a deep breath, then continued saying.

“All have been determined by fate, but I doubt Aria Pilong can kill Banyu Alas without your help.

“You follow your heart, do not regret later, because regret later in the day will not be able to repeat the time that has passed, cam it is fine.”

“Why does Kakang Aria not tell this to Buwana Dewi? Ask the girl, to her foster mother.

“Because Aria does not want to hurt your feelings, Buwana Dewi,” replied Nyai Ratu.

“Rethink what you will do, before it's too late.

“Because Aria has moved towards your father's residence,” continued the words of Nyai Ratu, ruler of the north sea.

“After saying and giving directions, His body of the Queen slowly faded and left the Goddess Buwana alone by the beach.

“Mother! where is Aria's brother now!? Shouted the Goddess Buwana, while her tears did not stop breaking.

“Aria was heading to Bali,” a voice sounded in the ears of Buwana Dewi, who came from Nyai Queen of the north sea ruler.

Aria, Wangsa, Buto Ijo and Selamet and Ujang Beurit move towards Ketapang village, where there are ships, which will cross people from eastern Java to the island of Bali.

Along the way to Ketapang village, many Ketapang trees grow on the right left of the road they pass.

At the dock of Ketapang village looked dozens of residents and traders who were about to cross, standing on the dock waiting for the ship that will cross them to the island of Bali.

Soon the ship they were waiting for came closer.

After leaning on the dock, the passengers, after paying the owner of the ferry for one piece of silver, began to enter the ship.

Same with Aria's party.

Ships used to cross are different from ships to catch fish.

The middle of the ship is rather wide, with a rather large building in the middle of the ship, to shelter the passengers who dare to pay more, so that they avoid the heat of the sun and rain.

After the goods of the passengers boarded the ship, as well as the captain of the ship and his men finished the break.

The crew slowly opened the main sail, one of them pulled the anchor rope and removed the hook between the ship and the dock.

The ship slowly began to move carrying nearly 50 people, including Aria as well as her men.

The weather in the middle of the sea is clear, there are no big winds and waves that must be worried by the captain of the ship and his men.

The sail ballooned in the wind that made the ship go quietly, while the ship's captain directed the rudder of the ship to Gilimanuk, where the crossing ship docked, carrying passengers who were about to cross to the island of Bali.

Aria, Wangsa, Buto Ijo, Selamet and Ujang Beurit stood at the bow of the ship.

Besides Aria Pilong, they seemed engrossed in seeing the end of the ship breaking the waves, flying fish sometimes jumped beside the ship, greeted by applause Suketi who saw it.

“Luckily the weather is good, so that the ship is not swayed by the waves,” Wangsa said, while enjoying the view of the sea that is spread in front of him.

“You can swim, Jo? Ask Wangsa.

“No,” Reply Buto Ijo

“You can swim, Met? The house asked Selamet.

“Can elders,” reply Selamet.

“Good! Said the House while nodding his head.

“If you how, Jang? The House asked back.

“Definitely stupid! What can you swim for? This time it was Buto Ijo who replied to the words of the House.

“For what! Exclaimed the House while frowning hearing the words of Buto Ijo, then continued to say “Ya, to fight on a boat.”

“You are a fool! Exclaimed the House while pointing at the face of Buto Ijo, then continued saying in an annoyed tone.

“I'm talking swimming in the water not on the ground.”

Buto Ijo retaliated because he was upset that his face was pointed at by the House.

“You are a fool! Si ujang, if drowning stay into the ground, it's fine,”

“Try...try to see, Jo! Where...where is the land? Asked the House while pointing towards the vast ocean.

“You plunge to the bottom and look! Below there must be land, so Si Ujang stay into the ground, will be safe.

“If the ujang plunged him to the top, he who bothered, because above there is no land,”

“Asa Lier ngadenge na (so dizzy with her horrors ), Si Beurit said hearing the talk between Buto Ijo and Wangsa.

“What are you Jang? Tanya Buto Ijo with a suspicious look.

“There is a fish flying in front,” replied the Beurit while pointing to a flying fish jumping from under the sea in front of the ship, while opening its fins like wings.

Buto Ijo nods his head to hear and see the fish pointed at by Ujang Beurit.

Phoe!

“While! In my lizard ujang mah tara ambeg, (in my deceit the ujang mah never angry) Inner House.

“You ask there, ask here! Can you swim? Tanya Buto Ijo's.

“Of course you can, why do I ask if I can't,” replied Wangsa.

Phoe!

“Even if you can't swim, but I'm sure you won't drown,”

“Why can that be, mang? Ask The Beurit.

“You can just look at his body, Jang! The boards are heavier, not sinking. Moreover, he whose body is thinner than a wooden board,” replied Buto Ijo.

Hm!

“You want to fight here? Asked Wangsa while staring intently, as her thin body was being led by Buto Ijo.

“You think I'm afraid,” replied Buto Ijo while staring back at the House.

Cuuiii….Cuuu!

A long voice rang out, making Buto Ijo and the House who were fighting instantly silent while staring towards the sky.

“Ono….Ono Races! The sound of the passengers was heard, their faces looked scared while looking up at the sky, where two giant birds flew around the boat they were riding.

Hm!

“What is that cage? Very big,” Wangsa said while staring towards the sky.

“You didn't hear them mention Alap-alap,” Replied Buto Ijo.

Suddenly one of the birds swooped down and snatched towards one of the passengers.

Whuts!

Aria's feet kicked a bamboo stick nearby, towards the bird that was grabbing.

The shing!

The Giant Eagle seemed to know that someone had attacked him.

The wings of the Eagle flapped and its body moved up, as its legs smashed towards the fast-moving Bamboo.

Plaque!

Bamboo tang was kicked by Aria, bouncing and falling into the sea.

One of the passengers on board breathed a sigh of relief, having survived the Eagle's strike.

The other eagle looked angry, seeing his friend did not manage to snatch the prey they had been chasing.

Whistling long, the Eagle darted faster than the first, but this time the Buto Ijo was already preparing, while picking up a paddler that was nearby.

The legs of a large eagle were hit by a rower held by Buto Ijo.

Whuts!

But the giant eagle turned out to be very clever, its two wings flapped faster and managed to avoid the attack.

Buto Ijo his eyes stared ferociously at the sight of a giant Eagle managed to avoid hitting its paddle.

So did the Eagle who was like waiting, and flew not far from the Ship's bow.

A snorting sound came out from Buto Ijo's nose, after looking at the giant Eagle's feet, there was only one.

Buto Ijo and the giant Eagle both knew their enemies, both of them looked at each other and their gazes were covered with revenge.

Hm!

“Rupanya old enemies”
