The exploration of the plains of Segara continued eastward. Gumintang is still under the shade of the Alitaru tree, contemplating the hopes of the Sadako Colony. With his mind connected to the virtual world, Gumintang prayed to Alitaru, begging that this request be conveyed to the Orgages. This is the way that Gumintang traveled to expect that the good wishes of the Sadako Colony will soon be realized.
The State of Segara felt the warmth and freshness of the presence of the Colony of Sadako. Its existence brings a balance that turns barren plains green. "The Segara Kingdom is in dire need of refreshment, and Aegir Segara has provided this balance through the Sadako Colony – an incredible gift," Gumintang said in his heart, saying, his eyes were fixed on the green plains of Sadako Colony in the east of Segara Country.
Stepping towards the east, Gumintang found the sturdy Alitaru Tree standing. Around Lake Manta, he saw a green ray emanating. Gumintang's eyes were fixed on the figure controlling the green light, and with steady steps, he crossed the lake towards that direction.
Gumintang approached a figure playing with green light near the Alitaru Tree and toyed with the water from Lake Manta. Curiously, he asked, "What are you doing with this green light?"
The figure replied with great concentration, "Right now, I am balancing these two energies." It stands between the Alitaru Tree and Lake Manta, as if connecting two separate plains. However, his ability to control green light was still not fully matured. His concentration was cut off once he realized the presence of nearby Gumintang.
Gumintang again asked, "How long do you need this green light?" Suddenly, the figure turned towards Gumintang, surprised by his presence.
In shock, he replied, "Great Lord, please forgive my disobedience for not being aware of your presence." Gumintang asserted, "May I know your name?"
"I am Sage, originally from Sadako Colony, a loyal friend of Naya's," Sage replied as he lowered his head.
Curious, Gumintang asked again, "Why are you so surprised, Sage?"
Politely, the Sage replied, "I didn't expect to meet you at all, let alone see you in the eastern plains so far away, the Great One."
Gumintang smiled and said, "Don't feel awkward, Sage. I'll gladly accompany you in honing your strength." Calmly, Gumintang sat down while enjoying the fresh air.
Sage began the exercise with full focus. Gumintang showed further curiosity, "Why did you choose to train under the Alitaru Tree, Sage?"
Sage gave an explanation, "For us, Alitaru is a symbol of hope from the Sadako Colony.'"
Everything is not over, Gumintang again asked, "Then, what are your hopes for Segara Country, Sage?"
Sage replied humbly, "I've never had great hopes for this country, the Great One. Sometimes, my expectations feel too great for a little light like me on this vast plain."
Then, Gumintang grabbed a branch from the Alitaru Tree and threw it into Lake Manta. However, more and more twigs were thrown, almost filling the edge of the lake. Without stopping, he moved the dried leaves from the Alitaru Tree to Lake Manta.
Gumintang asked Sage, "Did you see the twig I threw?"
Sage replied, "I saw it, Great One. However, the twigs began to meet the shores of Lake Manta."
"Right," Gumintang replied.
"At first it seemed like decoration, but over time, they continued to grow. If I let it go, Lake Manta will be covered by the branches of the Alitaru Tree" Gumintang added.
Gumintang then continued by spreading the dried leaves around Lake Manta. "Look," he said.
"These dried leaves are like expectations that initially look unreal, but when touching the water of Lake Manta, the color immediately turns fresh" added Gumintang.
Sage looks amazed and promises to carry this message in the upcoming Fustra. He also plans to take Gumintang to the eastern region to meet Sadako Colony and his friends, including Naya. As night fell, the Sage continued his training.
Meanwhile, Gumintang sees the hope represented by the Alitaru Tree growing solidly on the plains of Segara Country, illustrating the aspirations of Naya Sadako.
The Mystery of Alitaru: The Origin of the Tree of Hope
Naya's hope is implied in Aegir's energy, flowing in the form of virtual mind power overrun by Gumintang. As the first creature of the Sadako Colony to emerge through the energy of Aegir Segara, Naya was astonished to see the vastness of the plains to the east of Segara Country. The green light that emanated and accompanied the abundant growth of plants and trees gave freshness to the plains, although the coverage is still limited in the eastern region.
With determination, Naya tried to pass on her power to the entire State of Segara, so that greening can spread evenly. Naya's efforts are always going on without stopping, felt by Aegir Segara as a force that continues to be sought.
Aegir Segara, in union with Naya, asked softly, "Wahai, Sadako. What drives your spirit to immediately green the State of Segara?"
Naya replied excitedly, "Only by greening this plain do I feel that I have a true friend, Aegir."
Aegir Segara was curious, "Why didn't you directly create the Sadako Colony with your own power?"
Naya explained, "I want to make this plain green with growing plants, so that the members of Sadako Colony can feel the magic of this growth together, Aegir."
"Your sincerity is great, and from this plant shall be born a great deal of love. Sadako's colony will be formed from the flow of Aegir energy filled with love" said Aegir Segara.
Naya asked curiously, "How will the Sadako Colonies be able to live when they come from the plains of Segara Country, Aegir?"
Along with that, a magnificent tree appeared and was named Alitaru, connecting itself with the energy center of Aegir. Alitaru grows up with the hopeful exuded by Naya, bringing various hopes to the Sadako Colony.
Aegir Segara explained, "Alitaru is a manifestation of your hope, Sadako. This energy keeps flowing in the Alitaru tree along with the expectations you have."
Naya was amazed to see the tree and said, "Oh, Aegir. The beauty of this tree is so beautiful."
"Continue creating balance in Segara State, Sadako. Their time (Sadako Colony) is coming soon. Alitaru will continue to grow and be strong as long as the expectations in you continue to flow," said Aegir Segara full of confidence.
Over time, Naya confidently emits green light, creating a variety of beauty of plants in the plains of Segara State. This green light managed to turn the dry plains into green and fertile land.
Feeling happy, Naya observes the green and soothing landscape of the meadow, saying, "The time is coming, they (Sadako Colony) will be coming soon." Now, Naya's happiness over the success of her long training has finally come true.
Fustra Sadako: The Power of Light Behind the Dark and Light
Finally, positive results are achieved through exercises performed by Sage. Green light is emitted by the Sage, stimulating the growth of a medicinal plant called "Biosa". He showed this plant to Gumintang. Biosa has the ability to regenerate; in a sense, anyone who uses Biosa under green light can feel healing and a quick recovery of strength. However, Gumintang suggested that Biosa not be left in the State of Segara alone. Instead, Biosa should be taken to the center of Aegir to protect the balance of the State of Segara and prevent adverse effects that may arise.
Gumintang asks Poram to turn into a white light in front of Sage, with the aim of bringing Biosa to Orgages.
“Poram, Biosa must be delivered to Orgages. I entrust this task to you, towards the center of Aegir,” said Gumintang, affirming that Biosa must get there and be accepted by Orgages.
Poram also brought Biosa to the center of Aegir. Gumintang was amazed at Sage's incredible hard work in creating Biosa. But, at the same time, Gumintang also apologized to Sage for having to separate Biosa from Sage in order to maintain balance in the center of Aegir.
Gumintang and Sage then decided to immediately go to the place of the Sadako Colony. Their journey is ushered in by the green light of the plants they pass by. This green light responds to the Aegir energy within Gumintang. From the sky, this green light looked beautiful like the glittering starlight in the night sky.
As they walked, Sage asked, “I'm sorry for forgetting to ask about the purpose of your arrival to the Sadako plain. May I know why you came?”
Gumintang replied firmly, “Don't call me that. I only came to observe the Aegir energy of the Firefly Colony scattered throughout the Land of Segara.”
Sage asked again, “How can I find out about the energy of the Firefly Colony?”
Gumintang explained, “They will shine when darkness arrives, although none of them are aware of the light. It was the destiny chosen by the Kunang-Kunang Colony, to be part of the living creatures in Segara.”
Sage commented, “Rising something to someone who doesn't know is a tiring task.”
Gumintang replied, “It is my duty to awaken their consciousness. However, without my presence, they will still find themselves through the call of unity in the Kunang-Kunang Colony.”
The conversation between Gumintang and Sage was so closely related to the creation of Aegir energy, that they unknowingly arrived in the eastern area. Arriving at the destination, Sage immediately sent out a green light signal to inform about the arrival of Gumintang. Naya, who realized this, immediately greeted them.
“Great Wahai, I can finally see you,” said Naya with awe when she saw Gumintang.
Gumintang noticed Naya who looked breathless and exhausted, then asked, “What happened, Naya?”
Naya replied, “Please forgive me, Great One. I am facing a problem with my brothers who are losing energy due to drought.”
Gumintang responds, “I will ask Colony Kin’Yobi to map the eastern area and drain Aegir energy to it.”
Naya tells, “I've heard the same thing from Aegir. However, the Sadako Colony cannot hold too much Aegir energy, as doing so can harm them.”
Gumintang said, “Kin’Yobi has practiced self-control, I hope to help. Let's take a look at Kin’Yobi, Naya.”
Gumintang enters the virtual mind to communicate with Banes. Gumintang immediately told to map and flow the Aegir energy to the east. Banes, along with Rajas and Argogos, soon arrived in front of Gumintang and Naya.
Sound of sound echoing:
Arrrggghhh
Raawwwggghhh
“Let me help Naya,” said Banes in a serious voice.
Naya thanked him, and Banes and Argogos turned into a black light. They channeled Aegir's energy through the darkness and spread the Enure to the east. The relationship between Kin’Yobi and Sadako who have Aegir energy makes them know each other, especially in the history of creation in the center of Aegir. Gradually, the eastern area began to sink into darkness, accompanied by the presence of Enure who was watering the plains.
Naya joined the forces of Banes and Argogos. Gumintang looked at the unity between Sadako and Kin’Yobi with great admiration. The sunflower that had been there turned into Mandavya, Naya who saw her brother again consciously felt so happy. Mandavya hugged Naya, showing gratitude and rescue. After succeeding, Banes and Argogos slowly disappeared.
“Mandavya, have you fully recovered?” asked Naya while paying attention to Mandavya's condition.
“Iya, Naya. I am in good condition,” replied Mandavya.
“Now you, Sadako Colony, will continue to receive Aegir energy as you wish. The union between you, Naya, and Banes has managed to create a very beautiful light combination,” Gumintang said as he looked at Mandavya with a happy feeling because of his recovery.
“Let's do Fustra,” says Naya.
Naya takes the entire Sadako Colony to the Alitaru tree. In Fustra, all Sadako Colonies will combine forces and express their hopes. Naya uses a powerful force called "Hisha" to unite all the elements of the State of Segara in the form of green light.
Gumintang also joined Fustra.
“Hisha!!” said Naya. Instantly the eastern region shone brightly with a green light. The Alitaru tree reacts by emitting a green light into the center of Aegir.
Gumintang then saw the light from the Kunang-Kunang Colony and entered the virtual mind to ask the Firefly Colony to send a white light beam from the northern area to join in the Fustra. Sambu, who knows Gumintang's wishes, conveys this message to his friends. White light emanated from the north and joined with Fustra. Naya felt an extremely strong energy and exerted an incredible pressure.
“The energy I received was too big, so Alitaru was very happy,” Naya said.
While still in the power of the virtual mind, Gumintang saw their hopes.
“Let all goodness grow for Sadako Colony and the welfare of Segara Country,” hope Sage.
“Hopefully my strength can help maintain the balance and safety of Segara State,” hope Mandavya.
“Only through Aegir energy can we feel life. Hopefully the obstacles we face always get help from Aegir,” hope Gaze.
“When we grow, give me the strength to be useful and not to be a burden,” hope Ratha.
“Hopefully my creation is beneficial to the State of Segara,” hope Ayod.
“Although sadness and obstacles come, may we all finally feel happiness,” hope Despair.
“May we get stronger and support each other,” hope Nagara.
“I'm not confident, but I want to try to be successful like everyone else. May my hope complete my effort,” please Shoulder.
“Please, strengthen and restore myself. It's time for me to rise up and give fragrant to the Land of Segara,” hope Vira.
“As a symbol of hope, may the State of Segara be a counterweight to the universe,” hope Naya as the leader of the Sadako Colony.
Gumintang knows their hopes. “This country will always shine!” exclaim Gumintang ended the union of light. The rustra on the Alitaru tree ends, and Naya invites Gumintang to enjoy the banquet amid thousands of green light.
Life-Changing Hope: A Journey to the Light
“Hope has turned into movement, small or large steps taken will result in actual embodiment.” This is an appropriate phrase to describe self-confidence in hope. The conversation between Gumintang and Naya in the banquet really makes Gumintang feel the spirit of life. Naya Sadako, a female leader who unknowingly gave up. Building the first civilization in the Land of Segara is not an easy task. Having Aegir energy does not mean being part of the ruler of the universe. Maintaining balance is the main task of each colony with its own strengths.
“Voliday, Naya. You have found your hope,” said Gumintang who sat next to Naya.
“When I first set foot on the plains of Segara State, everything felt perfect, Yang Agung,” Naya said with a smile and grabbed the fruit to give to Gumintang.
“However, when darkness arrives, solitude is so inherent in my feelings,” continued Naya.
“What makes you feel alone, even though you already have the power, and in a short time Sadako Colony will multiply thanks to Aegir energy?” ask Gumintang.
“True. I also wondered the same thing in his solitude before Aegir,” replied Naya.
“When your expectations are reached, will Fustra remain?” ask Gumintang.
“I realize maintaining balance is not an easy thing, the Great One. However, as long as this task is not completed, hope will remain alive,” replied Naya.
“Naya, Alitaru tree has become a symbol of Sadako Colony. However, is there still hope that has not materialized?” ask Gumintang.
“Of course, The Great. The eastern regions were too hot to fertilize the plants, the inhabitants born there had difficulty adjusting. Could we migrate to the northern regions or join the Kunang-Kunang Colony?” ask Naya.
“Of course, Aegir gives you that ability. Join the Kunang-Kunang Colony,” replied Gumintang. Hearing this, Naya felt grateful and happy.
Finally, Naya's hope was realized. The Sadako Colonies will divide themselves to adjust their destiny by absorbing the energy of the plains of Segara State. With crystals from Lake Manta, the Sadako Colonies will determine their direction.
Water and Emotion Meeting: Lake Manta in the Sadako Civilization
Lake Manta is an Aegir mystery formed from the teardrops of Naya along with the Sadako Colony. Formerly only as wide as both hands, this lake is now transformed into the first and widest. To facilitate the journey, a bridge was made so that it could reach across the north or vice versa in a day, otherwise, it takes up to a week on foot.
When the Sadako Colony divides itself to unite with other colonies in the Land of Segara, Lake Manta will choose between them. Naya unleashed her incredible power. Green light enveloped it, creating a whirlpool from Lake Manta and the crystals that formed. White-colored crystals will be placed in the northern plains, black for the central plains, and red for the southern plains.
“Wahai, The Great. Are you willing to unite in energy?” naya asked Gumintang, then he turned into a white light and fused with the whirlpool, dividing the crystals. The crystals were separated from the main core and attached to the body of Sadako Colony.
“Naya, do you get crystal?” ask Gumintang.
“I didn't get it, The Great,” replied Naya. Gumintang just smiled and looked at Lake Manta that spewed water into Naya. He realized that this division would start a new chapter and present obstacles to the Sadako Colony.
“Voliday, Sadako. I cry out for your happiness. Today is the beginning of a new event, and a challenging future. Get ready for everything,” said Gumintang, standing on top of the Alitaru tree.
The Sadako colony cheered boisterously upon hearing Gumintang's words. The tranquil Lake Manta also responded by spouting water at them, and the Gumintang threw gold powder at the crowd.
Naya lowered her head to hear Gumintang's words. Whether this history will be recorded as good or otherwise, is still a mystery that needs to be solved.
The Lotus Limit of Segara State: The Traces of Naya in Segara State
After the Sadako Colonies finished carrying out Fustra, they did not immediately return to the east. This is because Lake Manta has set a residence for them. Naya remained in the eastern area until the time came, where she would be stationed on the designated plains.
“Wahai, The Great. Is there any of us (Sadako Colony) who have seen the white light?” ask Ayod to Gumintang.
“I have realized it, but the seeds have been united with green light, as well as those who are still in the powder and plains (not yet born), so are those who are still in the dust,” replied Gumintang to Ayod while taking land from the plains of Segara Country and grasping it. The land was then thrown into Lake Manta.
“Great One, your strength is amazing and strong. If green light coexists with white light and deceives their thinking, then awaken their consciousness (Koloni Kunang-Kunang),” said Naya slowly, approaching Gumintang.
“At the time of Fustra and the union of green and white light, I have gained insight and will decide to give them a choice, as long as both options are good,” said Gumintang.
“Ayod, let's continue the journey with the Great One,” exclaimed Naya, invite Ayod to join.
Ayod is a lily plant, created from the hope of Naya.
Gumintang took them (Naya and Ayod) to see the eastern boundary. Unwittingly, the harsh blows from Naya create a beautiful boundary in the Land of Segara, forming a lotus flower in each direction of the wind.
Gumintang used virtual thoughts to bring them (Gumintang, Naya, and Ayod) to the eastern boundary of the State of Segara. Arriving at the top of the lotus cider on the eastern boundary, Gumintang shows Naya to put her hands on the black crystal.
“This black crystal belongs to the Kin’Yobi Colony, Naya,” said Gumintang, pointing at the crystal.
“Put your hands there, Naya. Although these lotus flowers emerged from the energy of the Sadako Colony when they hit the plains of Segara State,” Gumintang added.
“Yang Agung, is this flower the border of Segara Country?” ask Naya.
“Currently, Naya. In every direction of the wind (north, east, south, and west) in the Land of Segara, the lotus flower is present,” replied Gumintang.
“How does this lotus flower keep Segara Country?” ask Naya.
“This lotus flower has formed a protective shield, Naya. Like you,” replied Gumintang.
Naya placed her hand on the black crystal. Naya's power flowed into the crystal, producing a dazzling white light. This was because the lotus flower sensed Naya's touch as part of her own strength. Naya immediately saw the Land of Segara from a height and connected with four lotus flowers. A radiant light flowed towards the center of Aegir, forming a majestic tower.
The connection between the four lotus flowers and Naya allowed the Sadako Colony scattered across several plains to be connected with the lotus flower for a while. They could see the energy particles of the State of Segara flowing into the lotus flower and towards the center of Aegir.
Naya accidentally created this lotus flower, thanks to the feeling of fear and the power of the Sadako Colony. Ayob who accompanied him was fascinated by the beauty of the lotus flower at the border of the plains of Segara State. After exploring the lotus flower, they return to the residence of the Sadako Colony with the help of the power of the Banes.
Two Worlds Unite: The Light of Fireflies in the Eastern Region
The eastern area is reflected in the beauty of a garden filled with flowers, trees, green grass, as well as rare and magical plants. Naya leads a team consisting of Ratha, Ayod, Despair, and Nagara to take care of the eastern area. Gumintang's presence was enthusiastically received. On one occasion, Gumintang meets Vinaya, a gentle woman, and Haruto, a handsome man.
Gumintang's encounter with his own manifestation, of course, triggers a feeling of haru and happiness. Vinaya and Haruto, who were encountered in the eastern area, were part of an aspect of him. However, Gumintang did not directly reveal this truth, as he wanted to respect their feelings. Instead, Gumintang uses the ability of virtual minds to help them recognize their true identity.
“Naya, I am glad Vinaya and Haruto have integrated with Sadako Colony. Treat them as if they were part of your family,” whispered Gumintang to Naya, while observing the interaction between Sadako in the flower garden.
“I see your point, The Great. Why don't you reveal it directly?” ask Naya.
“Receiving reality like this can be very challenging, Naya. They need mental readiness to deal with it,” replied Gumintang.
“Then, what should I do?” ask Naya.
“Treat them as family members. That's the best way to deal with it,” replied Gumintang.
“Alright, The Great. I'm hoping you're willing to stay in the east for some time. We need to better understand the power of Sadako,” Naya said.
“Of course, it is my duty, Naya. Just like you, I also can not be separated from the energy of Aegir and all of you,” said Gumintang.
