Crown Prince Sanggana
PHT 17: Midnight Guests
*The Conqueror of the Eastern Forest (PHT)*
In the darkness of the night that had reached its peak, there was a movement of very large and very fast creatures.
The giant creature was none other than Antula, a dark purple giant spider that was a Kahyangan Natural Beast. Antula belonged to the Demon Queen of the Two Tooth Goddess named Alma Fatara.
Although purple, but because it was pitch black, the creature was not visible because of the dark cover. Only his pair of eyes would look sinister as it was huge when compared to the eyes of other night beasts.
Once jumped, the distance traveled so far. If you run too fast. In addition to the long and high legs, the number of which makes many movements like the ancestors of demons.
The vastness of the forest can be quickly passed without anything that can hinder or hinder. Passing through a village, quite one jump. Passing a mountain is not difficult, let alone passing through a valley or river.
Although Antula's movements were so fast as the wind blew, above the back of Antula there were two beautiful women who could sit cross-legged quietly. The two women are Demon Queen Alma Fatara herself and Kembang Bulan who is the Swordsman of the Demon Queen.
The clothes and hair of the two matured girls were fluttering like flags in the middle of the sea. Sitting them as if it was sticky with such a furry giant beast.
After traveling all night without disturbing the inhabitants of the earth, Alma Fatara and her mount animals finally arrived in the territory of the Lesser Sanggana Kingdom.
Despite the tight security on the border, every duchy, especially in the Capital, the presence of Antula so great still not realized by the security forces or a magic swordsman.
It was only when Antula landed in the courtyard of Sanggana Kecil Palace, Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana, Queen Tirana and all the empresses, except Empress Ginari, could feel the presence of one great power that was already in the court of the Palace.
However, their response is different. Like the Empress Dewi Ara and Sri Rahayu, they chose to lie down and continue their sleep.
Prabu Dira who was sleeping with Empress Kerling Sukma at Green Palace was the one who was most surprised to wake up from his sound. Empress Kerling Sukma also woke up shocked to feel the presence of one great power that had already entered the surroundings of the Palace.
“Who is coming, Kakang Prabu?” ask Kerling Sukma.
“Natural Animals Kahyangan,” replied Prabu Dira while hurriedly getting up and out of the blanket that covered his lower body.
Apparently, Prabu Dira is in a nude condition. He immediately grabbed his wife's clothes and gave them to Kerling Sukma.
“Is the Gymnast coming?” asked Kerling Sukma as she grabbed her clothes. He could not clearly know who or what was coming, could only feel.
“Not. I wouldn't be surprised if Gimba came. I don't know what kind of Puppet Natural Animal this is and who it belongs to,” replied Prabu Dira while wearing his pants in a hurry. In the depths of his heart he felt grateful, because his courage had been channeled before the uninvited guest arrived.
At Keratuan Palace, Queen Tirana who slept with her daughter, also woke up, but alone.
“What great power comes in the middle of the night like this? Are the residents of the Eastern Forest?” the silent Queen of Tirana thought for a moment.
When Antula landed soundlessly in the courtyard of Little Sanggana Palace, the soldiers who were guarding the night in the corridor along the outskirts of the courtyard, were too late to notice the presence of the large creature. The torchlight that was lit at a number of points with an orderly order, was not bright enough to illuminate the middle of the dark courtyard.
In the end, there was a soldier who started to realize the existence of a huge black shadow in the middle of the courtyard. He bent his face and tried to sharpen his gaze to ascertain what things were in the darkness. Unable to believe what large object was not moving, the soldier immediately went to where his companion was standing guard.
“Tugono, did you see something in the middle of the court?” ask the soldier named Batong.
“What are you talking about?” tanya Tugono while throwing his gaze to the middle of the courtyard.
After a short silence, Tugono could see a shadow that was more black than the darkness of the night.
“Eh, what is it?” he said, because he saw that black shadow did not move at all.
“Hahahak!” the laughter of a woman suddenly. His laughter is like the laughter of fathers. The source of the sound was clearly from the middle of the dark courtyard.
However, that loud laughter sound clearly shocked all the soldiers he could hope for.
“What sound is it?” tanya Tugono is tense.
“Yes, whose voice is it?” ask Tugono again.
Not only were the two of them wondering in the head, all the soldiers guarding the outer perimeter of the courtyard also became tense.
Blass!
Suddenly there was a great fire burning simultaneously in a number of large fire stoves on several poles standing on the edges of the court. By turning the large furnaces into large torches, the court became brighter.
“Hah!” shock the guard soldiers.
But along with that, in front of the giant spider creatures dark purple has stood Prabu Dira with Empress Kerling Sukma. A moment later, Queen Tirana and Empress Getara Cinta had appeared by appearing on the side of the two.
“No problem, no problem,” Batong said with relief. “Gusti Prabu has stepped in.”
“Waaah! But what animal is it?” tugono said he did not think.
Also seen in the courtyard, the Empress Sandaria appeared with her black wolf. At the same time, Empress Yuo Kai and Kusuma Dewi came like a Night Goddess who flew leisurely in the dim air.
At that time, Prabu Dira only wore pants and vest naikanya red. Her long hair was free-dealing like a female hair. While the wives who remain beautiful despite appearing simple without make-up, this time dressed not magnificently without the finest jewelry.
Prabu Dira and his wives chose to stand waiting for a few spears in front of Antula. That was because the Empress of Heart Eyes was already on top of the beast, facing directly with the Demon Queen and her bodyguards.
Moments earlier, as Demon Queen Alma Fatara was sitting in wait, Empress Nara was the first to appear and had been standing on Antula's chest. He appeared in his special clothes. He was the first to feel the presence of Alma Fatara and her animals. He was the same as Prabu Dira, could tell that the one who came was one of the Kahyangan Natural Animals.
The appearance of Empress Nara in front of her, instantly made Alma Fatara and her bodyguards rise to their feet. They stood face to face on Antula's chest.
It was still pitch black, as the two soldiers below were watching Antula's shadow. The large stone furnaces on top of the pillar had not yet been lit.
“Are you Demon Queen, Goddess of Two Teeth from the eastern end of Jawi Land?” terka Empress Nara was flat and cold.
“True. Am I dealing with the famous Elder Goddess of the Heart Eye to the east?” alma Fatara answered and asked.
“True,” replied Empress Nara.
“Hahahak!” the laughter of Alma Fatara suddenly.
That was the sound of laughter that had been heard by the soldiers, moments before the appearance of Prabu Dira.
Blass!
A moment later, a number of large fire stoves on several poles standing on the edges of the court lit up in unison, making the courtyard brighter and the figure of a purple giant spider was clearly visible.
“How long ago did you come here?” ask Empress Nara.
“Isn't the war still a while, Grandma?” alma Fatara replied with a big smile.
“You don't see I'm still this young?” said the beautiful woman with fake black eyes.
“Hahahak!” alma Fatara's laughter again. She knew that Empress Nara was over a hundred years old. “Good, Elder. Oh yes, my two teachers named Spirit Anglers and Prince of the Flirt beetles send greetings to the Elders.”
“My salute to them when you meet them again,” said Empress Nara. “Your deal with Prabu Dira, so meet him.”
Claps!
After saying, the Empress of the Heart Eyes suddenly disappeared from the face of Alma Fatara and the Moon Flower. (BH)
