Dvesas
Dwarapala

The sky began to cloud, black clouds filled the sky Dwipajaya. Lightning rumbled everywhere, accompanied by gusts of wind. Gayatri felt her skin burning with the wind. 

"What's this?" inner Gayatri.

His witness who realized the wrath of Gayatri's heart paralleled the steps of their horses both.

"Is the wind in this area really hot?" saksenya asked breaking the silence.

"No, it was the first time I felt this heat" Gayatri replied quickly.

Soon Gayatri saw birds flying, and even the footsteps of animals were heard in the forest. This phenomenon is exactly what happened during the eruption of the mountain. 

"Sir how long will we arrive" asked Anjalj riled.

Hearing his servant's question, Gayatri immediately spurred his horse to lead the party until the brand arrived at the old stela that looked covered in age. Gayatri got off her horse followed by all the members of the entourage.

"This is the secret path to the core of the Dwipajaya kingdom. I'll explain further. Now untie the horse, let them take the message to our other entourage" Gayatri explained.

Before releasing the horses, his Saxony wrote a short letter and tucked in the saddle of his favorite horse. His sax was not only a horseman, but was able to convey a message to his pets and it was this ability that Gayatri needed.

The group entered a long road that had been filled with moss. Obviously this road has long been unused, moss that sticks thick enough coupled with Fern plants that grow everywhere. 

Anjali took out the seeds of a castor plant from his pouch and stuck them in his hornbill. The dry distance seeds are burned, useful not only as a street light but also repel small insects that fly around them.

"This plant we use instead of lamps. The condition of the castor seeds must be completely dry. These seeds contain oil, they smell strange but harmless" Saxonya explained.

The more they went inside - the darker they came to the light of the hallway.  One look at his Saksenya instantly knew there was an eternal flame that was turned on with a spell along the passageway. 

His witness observed Anjali who began to turn off her distance seeds. The tip of the hornbill appears blackened due to the fire and oil from the castor seeds.

"This mantra was brought to life by Guru Drona da Patih Mahesa. This is an eternal fire, if anyone passes through this hall this fire will burn up and will be extinguished if no one passes by" Gayatri explained.

The witness guesses, where the end of this hallway. The further it goes, the deeper this hallway is. This is definitely not going to the throne, the park, or the palace pendopo like a secret passage in general.

The witness also did not hear the sound of footsteps. If indeed this room is a secret passage and the circumstances outside there will be a disaster then at least he heard footsteps above his head. Does this room muffle all the noise? thought Saksenya.

"No way!," cried Gayatri as they arrived at a large door carved with the royal emblem of Dwipajaya. 

The side of the pitu was guarded by Dwarapala holding Gada. Dwarapala is known to the people of Nusantara as the guardian of the holy place.

Gayatri groped the wall and the door repeatedly tried to find a way for it to be opened. Saksenya and the others fumbled but found nothing.

"It seems that Dwarapala has not had an offering for a long time" Saksenya said.

Gayatri soon realized, since he had ignored Dwarapala. Closing his eyes and praying, Gayatri sliced off his index tip and touched Dwarapala's two legs with his blood. 

The door slowly opened and dust poured out of the door.
