JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Putri Tumenggung Kadipaten Kembang Kuning

The red gemstone on the ring finger of Jaka Umbaran's left hand shines. Then a subtle creature that can only be seen by people who have the inner power of linuwih appeared before Jaka Umbaran. The invisible creature in the form of a large tall human with reddish skin with a pair of short horns immediately knelt before the young swordsman.

"What does Ndoro call a servant?", said the sinister subtle-creased creature who is none other than Pancer, Suketi's husband Sendang Inten residents immediately.

"Real that green devil. Immediately carry out", Jaka Umbaran ordered while gesturing for Pancer to move.

"Well Ndoro, all the orders of the servants carried out", Pancer saluted Jaka Umbaran before moving quickly forward towards the genderuwo.

All of this can not be separated from the observation of Ki Setrowahono, the apprentice shaman called Ki Gondo to help cure Rara Melati. The old man was surprised instead of playing to see this delicate creature saluting Jaka Umbaran before moving. Although in his head there were various questions, but the apprentice shaman preferred to hold back while watching the fight between Pancer and genderuwo who possessed Rara Melati's body

Bhhhaammmmmmmm bhhuuuummmmmmhh!

Around the house Ki Gondo rattled hard like an earthquake due to the fierce fight Pancer and genderuwo. Some of the displays hanging on the wall, fell so strong that there was a vibration.

Ki Gondo immediately pulled the hand of his wife and other children to get out of the house for fear of the fall of goods. His loyal servants and servants also scattered out to save themselves.

So also with Nyi Manik Inten along with his loyal servants. They hurriedly rushed towards the courtyard of the house along with Niluh Wuni. Only Jaka Umbaran and Ki Setrowahono did not budge from their original place. The two of them continued to stare towards the fierce fight between these two ethereal beings.

Overlapping, hitting each other and kicking each other combined with fast movements like the wind continued to occur in Ki Gondo's residence. Pendopo house that was originally neatly arranged and beautiful in a short time directly poranda poranda. Some parts of the wooden wall were broken down without anyone hitting it.

On one occasion, Pancer managed to curl the neck of this green-skinned genderuwo. Genderuwo was apparently unable to move at all under the Pancer arm that was as big as bamboo betung.

Seeing that, Jaka Umbaran immediately darted towards them while smashing his reddish-blue right hand palm towards the head of the genderuwo.

"Saketi Melting Pamungkas..

Hiiyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!!!"

Bllaammmmmmm....!!!!

The head of the genderuwo immediately exploded and was crushed to ashes. His body immediately drooped and fell onto the floor of Ki Gondo's house. Slowly his body blackened and turned into black ash which then disappeared swept away by the wind.

"Now you can return to your place" said Jaka Umbaran immediately. Pancer immediately worshipped Jaka Umbaran before turning into a red light that entered back into the heirloom ring on the swordsman's ring finger.

When the atmosphere was calm again and the tremors felt had disappeared, Ki Gondo immediately ran into his home pendopo. There he saw Jaka Umbaran was removing the rope that tied the hands and feet of Rara Melati together with Ki Setrowahono.

"It's over, Ki Setro? The demon is gone?", asked Ki Gondo while circulating his gaze around the messy house pendopo. He was afraid that the scary thing would happen again.

"It's done, Juragan Gondo..

This young man who.. Wadaaawwwhhh", Ki Setrowahono did not continue his answer because his right big toe was stepped on by Jaka Umbaran. When he wanted to protest, he saw Jaka Umbaran put the index finger of his right hand to the front of his lips as a signal not to divulge the secret of the destruction of genderuwo earlier. Ki Setrowahono nodded in understanding though while grimacing withstanding the pain on his right big toe.

"Ki Setro's clear talk..

Why this young warrior?", asked Ki Gondo while frowning in wonder.

"Eh that means this young swordsman helped me. Good thing there is him, otherwise I must be troubled to take care of that rotten genderuwo", said Ki Setrowahono while slightly glancing towards Jaka Umbaran who gave his thumbs up secretly without being discovered by the wealthy businessman.

One by one people started to enter the pendopo house Ki Gondo. Rara Melati who had just escaped from the rope, immediately ran and scattered towards Ki Gondo and his wife. A sobbing full of happiness sounded from their mouths.

After the completion of this family drama, Ki Gondo immediately approached Ki Setrowahono and held out a bag of gold pieces the rest of the help payment he had promised.

"Thank you for your help Ki Setrowahono. Next time I have a problem like this again, you will definitely call me" Ki Gondo said immediately.

"Everything's finished Juragan Gondo. Then I beg you to leave. Excuse me", Ki Setrowahono said as he bowed respectfully to Ki Gondo before stepping away from the place. Not to forget he also nodded his head to Jaka Umbaran who had helped him. The Swordsman of Mount Lawu only smiled faintly.

Nyi Rondo Dadap also immediately conveyed the intention of his arrival to Ki Gondo. The wealthy rice merchant did not mind the request of his trade friend because one of his men had at least helped overcome his family problems.

That very night, after the servants of Ki Gondo's house worked hard to clean up the debris of the building scattered on the pendopo floor of the house, Nyi Rondo Dadap's entourage spent the night at Ki Gondo's house, a wealthy rice merchant in the Pakuwon Gemolong area.

As soon as morning arrived, the men of Nyi Rondo Dadap immediately got ready to continue their journey west. After thanking Ki Gondo for the kindness that allowed them to spend the night free at his place, Nyi Manik Inten said goodbye to the owner of the house.

"I've traded the things you asked Ki Gondo for. Twenty pieces of my medium-quality cloth are equivalent to 10 catties of your rice.

I also want to beg myself to go back to Dadap. Gusti Akuwu Pakuwon Dadapan was waiting for the arrival of his order. I don't want to make him disappointed because I was late to deliver the goods he ordered", said Nyi Manik Inten aka Nyi Rondo Dadap while smiling thinly.

"I won't hold you back, Nyi Rondo Dadap. But I also want to thank one of your men who helped Ki Setrowahono.

Be careful on the road Nyi Manik Inten. Wishing you good luck at home ", Ki Gondo said with a big smile.

That same morning, the group of Nyi Manik Inten the rich cloth merchant departed from Pakuwon Gemolong heading west. After passing through the highway that divides the forest forest in the southern region of Kadipaten Kembang Kuning and passing through several small villages such as Klego and Sendang, the, this group arrived at the boundary of Pakuwon City of Dadap after the sun began to shift from overhead.

Jaka Umbaran who rode the front along with Ki Suradipa immediately pulled the reins of his horse while signaling the members of their entourage to stop.

A hundred fathoms in front of them, a huge problem was brewing. Dozens of men dressed as the soldiers of the Yellow Flower Duchy drew their swords fighting with all their might to protect a horse-drawn carriage while about 20 men dressed in all black surrounded them with guns that threatened the lives of opponents.

We must not let our guard down" said Jaka Umbaran immediately. Ki Suradipa immediately nodded his head in a sign of understanding. The temple of Nyi Manik Inten immediately pulled a machete tucked in each waist. The atmosphere instantly turned tense.

"What's this about? Why did you pull out the weapon?", asked Nyi Manik Inten aka Nyi Rondo Dept from behind the window curtain of the horse carriage he was riding.

"Report Nyi..

It seems like there is a fight ahead. Swordsman of Mount Lawu asked all of us to prepare for all possibilities", reply the fortress that was near the horse carriage. Nyi Rondo Dadas only heaved a heavy sigh hearing that answer.

In the fierce fight between the soldiers of the Yellow Flower Duchy and its besiegers, two soldiers had fallen covered in blood. While the leader of the soldiers looks busy facing 4 people who gang up on him.

Two people dressed in all black who had managed to approach the door of the horse carriage, directly charged forward and both pulled the carriage door together. As a result the door of the horse carriage came off and the two beautiful girls dressed in noble clothes immediately screamed in fear.

Hearing the screams, the soldier leader tried to help the two of them but the four people who ganged on him did not give him the opportunity. The four of them continued to move to block the movement of the guard soldier leader.

One by one the soldiers of Kembang Kuning Duchy began to collide with severe injuries. The leader of the besieging group who managed to force these two young noble girls immediately burst into laughter.

"With this, Gusti Patih Kandaga will definitely give a great gift to me hahahaha..."

A pebble as big as a salak seed shot quickly towards the forehead of the besieger leader.

Cllaunkk..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

The besieger leader immediately fell down while complaining of pain. The noble girl he was flirting with fell down. Just as the girl was about to run away another all-black clothed person immediately blocked her arm. The leader of the men in black clothes immediately rose up while holding his forehead which was as big as a chicken egg. He looked directly towards the direction of the attack. From there four people rushed towards them.

Nyi Rondo Dadap who saw one of the young female figures who was on the pelvis by the besiegers immediately recognized her as Ajeng Ratih, daughter of Tumenggung Kadipaten Kembang Kuning, Mpu Prajanata. Not waiting long, he immediately asked Jaka Umbaran and his friends to save them. Hearing the request from Nyi Rondo Dadap, Jaka Umbaran and his friends immediately darted towards the fierce fight that was in front of their entourage.

"Let go of the girl" said Jaka Umbaran after stopping 2 spears away from where they were. Ki Suradipa, Niluh Wuni and Sekar Kantil followed behind him.

"Huh let go of her? Have you gone crazy?

We just worked hard to get it so where could I just let it go? Your dream!", said the leader in black while cleaning his dirty clothes.

"Kroco like you must be beaten first to obey!", after saying so, Jaka Umbaran immediately shot towards them. The men in black immediately welcomed the arrival of Jaka Umbaran and friends with a swing of their respective weapons.

Shhrreeettthhh..

The two sword slashes quickly swung towards Jaka Umbaran, eyeing the young swordsman's neck. It is easy, Jaka Umbaran immediately changed his body movements by bending his knees until his body was low. Those two sword slashes only struck the wind an inch above his head.

Then using both hands as a pedestal, Jaka Umbaran immediately twisted his body and threw a hard kick both his legs towards the two men dressed in black who were about to charge forward.

Dhhaaaassshhh..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!!

Two men with thick bodies immediately fell down after receiving a hard kick Jaka Umbaran. In a short time all the men dressed in black had been conquered by Jaka Umbaran and his friends, including the leader. They rolled down on the ground with some cuts and bruises adorning their bodies.

Ajeng Ratih and his younger cousin Nimas Citrawati who escaped from the ambush of the people dressed in all black was directly approaching Jaka Umbaran who was still staring at the men in black.

"Thank you for the help, Swordsman" said Ajeng Ratih gently.

"Don't thank me but thank Nyi Manik Inten for telling us to help you" Jaka Umbaran replied immediately. Nyi Manik Inten who came closer to Jaka Umbaran and friends, immediately replied.

"No need to thank me Den Ayu. I was your father's best friend. He has often helped me trade in the Yellow Flower Duchy Palace. So I deserve to repay her kindness.

Who is this guy? Did Den Ayu know him?", hearing those words, Ajeng Ratih let out a long sigh.

"They were all Patih Kandaga's men from Bhumi Sambara Duchy. Tumenggung Kandaga wanted me to be his wife but I refused because he was married.

I repeatedly refused, but he did not give up. And when I came out of Kembang Kuning Duchy City, these people continued to follow us until this fight happened", explained Ajeng Ratih with a heavy sigh.

"It is clearly in danger, but why is it still desperate to get out of Kadipaten Kembang Kuning?

Tired of your life?", said Sekar Kantil who had just been silent.

"It's not so Nisanak. We just want to learn to take care of ourselves by studying to the swordsman who is in the northwest of Mount Pamarihan" said Ajeng Ratih with a faint smile.

Ki Suradipa immediately joined in their chat by asking,

"Do you want to go to Katong Hill School?"
