JAWANAKARTA

JAWANAKARTA
Prologues


Drizzling rain accompanied the steps of 4 men walking the rocky path to the mountain slope forest, a typical sound of the night of rain forest. They keep walking in silence. Busy with each other's thoughts and anxiety about what they will find later. Set them on the stone gate in the middle of the forest, and they stopped for a moment. They looked around, they saw a stone gate engraved with ancient writing with a forest surrounding it.


"Do we have to go in there? It was dark." asked the man standing on the left


"Yes we must enter, Mbah AGENG's emissary has told us that he is waiting for us, after all it is impossible for us who have arrived here not to enter just because it is dark" replied the man standing in front


"But are you sure when we enter later we do not get lost look into the gate is very dark even the path is not visible" said the man standing on the right.


"True we must keep going, you forget who called us, Mbah AGENG the elder of the Ancestors the teacher of the founders and the penangga, this, we are no match for him when he asks us to be present there must be something important that he wants to convey so we must go in and meet him at any cost" said the man who stood at the back.


From inside the gate arrived a packed old man dressed beskap (adat java men's clothes) neatly approached them.


"Welcome to the sultans of JAWANAKARTA. Let me introduce myself, I Mpu Ndalem who will take the sultan all to meet Mbah AGENG."


" Is it okay for us to go in there?" ask one of the men on the left


"The Beliefs, Cultures, and Traditions of our Ancestors do not teach to fear and worry just because of the dark Sultan Wetan, instead of you who most know the bad consequences of worrying itself Sultan"


"That is why Sultan Kulon, Belief is the least left in this country, in the belief we are taught to always believe that the Creator of the Universe is always together and keeps us in good. Do you no longer believe in the Creator of the Sultan Universe?"


"We still hold the Faith, Culture, and Tradition of Mpu, but we are still ordinary people who are still afraid of many things, and are worried about problems because that is how humans are." replied the man behind.


"Sultan Lor is a human disease, always feeling the weakest and always using his weaknesses to cover up their mistakes. They forget the benefits of Belief, Culture, and Tradition. It is only that which will make a man possess identity, courage and knowledge. Of the three humans will be guided, limited and shown the right way to live life. But look one by one man has forgotten all three"


"The scariest thing of man without Belief, Buadaya, and Tradition is the absence of limits for man, when man has no limits, the, there's nothing they'll be afraid of when people have no fear, that's the end of the world" the front man said.


"Betul Sultan Kidul, then here you are the leaders of the 4 cities in JAWANAKARTA to save our JAWANAKARTA from destruction, then are there all available to meet Mbah AGENG?"


The four men looked at each other in silence then one by one they nodded their heads.


"Then please enter and welcome to the slopes of Mount Puser, the central point of JAWANAKARTA and the ANCESTRAL HOLY LAND where the origin of everything began."
