ETERNAL SWORD
Fruit of the Fortune Tree

The winding road and full of thickets make it difficult for Bintang to cross to take Princess Inken to the kingdom of teak gujung.

On the way it was not occasionally Inken asked to rest because of the difficulty of the terrain through it.

When passing through a large tree, the Star stops to rest while looking for fruits that can be eaten.

"Princess Inken please wait here, I will go for a moment looking for fruit!"

"I'm with young master?"

"Enough princess here just to be tired princess lost, later if the princess is tired will increase."

"No young master, I can still walk."

Stars think for a moment.

"Um, fine if you want to come."

So they went together to find fruit in order to block his stomach that had not eaten all day. The star broke through the dense forest looking for fruitful trees.

Some trees can be found but the trees contain poison. The star clenches its jaws when it encounters trees that cannot be chewed.

"Young master is hard fruit here too? almost an hour we've been looking but haven't been able to?"Inken asked as he walked following the footsteps of the Star.

"Yes Princess Incen, here the fruit mostly contains poison. So we have to be careful about choosing fruit."

"Is it because of the soil factor that makes the trees here bear the poisonous fruit of young master?"

"Not even Princess Incen."

About a few meters from the previous tree, the Star again found a dense fruitful tree. The tree was clean its bark unlike the trees before which had roots and thorns.

"The fruit must be this delicious?"Mumbled Incen.

The star has not taken its fruit, its attention is still on the tree and its fruit which casts doubt on its heart. All this time he had never found a tree as clean and shiny as that let alone the fruit.

"Why haven't you taken the young master's fruit yet?"Tanya Inken was impatient with the Stars.

"Wait? There's something strange about this tree."

"What a strange young master?"

"Not usually a tree like this? Princess Inken is my bad!"Said the alert Star while holding Incen's arm pulling him backwards.

"It's okay young master, it's safe."

It had not been ten seconds to speak that tree had suddenly vanished from its place. Empty in front of Stars and Incens. Incen was surprised to stare before him with what happened.

"Young master, how did the tree suddenly disappear?" Lirih Inken.

"Hush! Don't noise?"Greet the Stars while being alert for bad possibilities.

Incen was silent, knowing what the young master meant. Incen no more chattering. He only follows what the stars command. Slowly Inken retreated.

After a few seconds, a strange thing suddenly appeared on the ground where the tree disappeared. The ground moved up to form a lump of clay.

Incen behind the Star was amazed and frightened at the strangeness, the Star retreated little by little while being wary of the bad things that befell.

When the ground had piled up high forming a high hill, the ground stopped moving. Once perfectly stopped, a bud grows on it for a long time the bud turns into a large tree and fertilizes. A lot of fruit.

The fruit immediately yellowed, Incen more and more amazed at the changes of the tree and the fruit that captivated his attention.

"Young master how?"

The stars think for a moment before taking the next step.

"Yes, we can pick the fruit."The stars began to know.

Immediately the Star stepped forward without hesitation, leisurely walking the Star approached the tree.

"Young master be careful?" Mumbled Incen a little worried.

Inken accompanied the steps of the Star that approached the strange tree.

"Not toxic is this the fruit master?"Investigating Inken hesitated.

The star did not answer, He still used to skin the roots of the wood and kiss it slowly.

"No Princess, please take as much fruit as possible so do not eat here the fruit?"Reply to the Star while reminding Incen not to eat the fruit near the tree.

"Why sir?"Inken asked puzzledly as he continued picking some fruits from the strange tree.

"Later to explain the reason, take the fruit as much as you need a daughter!"

Princess Inken no longer wondered, soon she picked the yellowing fruit on the tree, in choosing the best fruits from the tree.

After picking the fruit, Bintang brought Incen back quickly to the bottom of the tree where his horse was tied.

Arriving at the original place, Incen wondered about the fruit of the strange tree.

"Young man why can't he eat his fruit while there?"Investigator Incen complained of his curiosity.

"Oh, that tree was a lucky tree. To anyone who has good fortune, the tree will come up to him and bring him something he wants."Bright Stars brief.

"What does a lucky tree mean, young master? I don't understand."

"Princess Incent, that lucky tree is a tree that comes near lucky humans."

"The two great kingdoms fought day and night until several nights passed, when one of the kingdoms lost the war, the defeated kingdom was confined to one region, it's an area where mud has nothing like vegetation or food that can fill their stomachs."

The star paused for a moment while eating the fruit it picked.

"All Nas soldiers who lost the war were sentenced to be killed slowly, by the military of the Bar kingdom. The Bar Kingdom managed to kill half of the Nas military which they sealed off from the mud area which they did not feed at all."

"The officers from the Nas kingdom who had been able to survive in the field of torture eventually also died one by one due to hunger."

"Short story, though, after months of not being fed and most had starved to death but they had not expected at a time when hunger had made them desperate to live because there was no food that's where a miracle happens."

"A bud grows at midnight, it grows until it becomes a large tree and bears fruit."

"That is what they eat every day in order to survive in the mud and the hot sun. In addition to the fruit that they can eat also the leaves they can use to shelter."

"From that tree changed the lives of the officers who were tortured so hard that they could survive and then be free against the officers of the Bar Kingdom."

"That's the tree called the lucky tree."Close the Star while sweeping the sweat in its eel.

"Um, so." Mumbled Incen.

While chatting with fun, suddenly there was an arrow shot from the east. The arrow shot out swiftly unexpectedly by Star and Incen.

"Hup." The arrow rang out when it clashed with a piece of wood that the Star threw to dispel.

And fortunately, the stars heard the sound of arrows that shot almost stuck in the body of Incen.

Although one arrow managed to dart but did not also provoke the Star to get out of his seat. Incen who did not see it did not also cause any movement other than sitting around normally while chatting casually to the Stars.

"Young master lives in the Eternal Valley with whom?"Inken asked while chewing the fruit and did not know if anyone was going to shoot it.

"The Princess Incen."

"Ooh."

While talking Incen, the arrow returned but the second time more. But Bintang is already on standby for his bow boy..

The dart that shot, caught by the Star and then broken it in two and then dilayangannya back into the bushes.

The arrow he had thrown by the Star had hit the bodies of the archers. Until everything falls in the bushes.

The star approached the bush with Incen. He found some archers dead and some still alive but stuck because of the arrow stuck in his chest.
