JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Down Mountain

"This ape's smile from the beginning your hermitage has been following you, is your companion later. Your destiny was brought together by the gods in Suralaya to continue together in joy and sorrow.

Now he's turned into an heirloom ring that you can call when you're in trouble. Put it on and call it his name as a sedulur papat five pancer while you wipe the red gem. He will come to obey your orders, Cah Bagus", said Maharesi Siwamurti with a faint smile.

"It is so, Teacher..

This is the divine image that was destined for me. I accept what is my line of travel.

So what about her?", Jaka Umbaran immediately pointed at Suketi who was crying sobbing while continuing to look at her husband who had now turned into an heirloom ring. The female monkey seemed troubled by what was about to happen to her.

"He will become a resident of Watu Bolong Hermitage after you leave the hermitage, Umbaran.", said Maharesi Siwamurti immediately.

"Ah What does Teacher mean? Did the teacher banish me from the hermitage?", Jaka Umbaran was confused by his teacher's talk. The old hermit immediately shook his head.

"Not so, Umbaran..

But a warrior must practice the knowledge he has acquired in order to establish justice on this earth. Like a bird, you have to fly high leaving the nest to challenge the rigors of life. Only when you have time to face the Creator can you calmly leave the world.

Now you follow my steps, go back to Watu Bolong Hermitage. There's something you need to know. And you little monkey, follow us!", Maharesi Siwamurti turned to Suketi in the form of a small monkey before darting towards the North. Suketi immediately moved following him.

Jaka Umbaran immediately wore the red jewel-eyed ring on his ring finger before darting following the teacher and Suketi who had already moved to Watu Bolong Hermitage on the North side of Mount Lawu.

In just a matter of a few eye jolts, the three of them arrived at Watu Bolong Hermitage on the North slope of Mount Lawu. Maharesi Siwamurti immediately stepped inside his residence while Jaka Umbaran sat on the veranda of the house with Suketi. The female monkey continued to move here and there without turning his eyes on the heirloom ring on the left hand ring finger of Jaka Umbaran but did not dare to approach.

Maharesi Siwamurti came out of the house while carrying a blue cloth that has embroidered red thread on its edges. On the middle side there is a red thread embroidered with an Ardhachandralancana or Ardhachandra Badge in the form of a skull that is biting the crescent moon. Also a silver pendant bobble necklace with the same carving as Ardhachandralancana in blue cloth.

Once in front of Jaka Umbaran, Maharesi Siwamurti immediately handed the two objects to the disciple. Jaka Umbaran immediately accepted with both hands despite not understanding what the action of the teacher meant.

"I know you must be confused by what I meant to give you those two things, right? You're an adult, it's time you found out.

I'll tell you a story, Ngger Cah Bagus. This relates to your true identity", Jaka Umbaran was surprised for a moment then he immediately listened to what was being said by this teacher.

"One night, 18 years ago..

At that time, I was returning home after visiting the residence of my friend, Begawan Jalasutra who lived in the southern region of the Land Perdikan Lodaya. As soon as I reached the border of the Karang Anom and Tanggulangin area, I was about to pass by to see a stealth figure holding a baby boy. Afraid that the baby boy was being used as the demon, I intercepted him. We fought fiercely until I finally managed to defeat him and snatch the little baby boy after tying the seal demon with the Yadnya Kasada Chains Spell as you have mastered, Umbaran.

After that, I brought her back to Watu Bolong's Hermitage. I hope that once I get to this place, your brother-in-law will become a brother but I was wrong. Jiwandana actually stopped from Watu Bolong Hermitage by stealing and carrying away the Thousand Arm Sword Science Book that he always craved. I told you earlier that he was hanging out just to cover up his crimes, Ngger Cah Bagus. So that someday you will not follow the wrong steps Jiwandana.

That baby boy is you, Umbaran. I named Jaka Umbaran as a tetenger so that you who grew up in a wild environment can become suri tauladan for others later", concluded Maharesi Siwamurti with a long sigh.

"Who do my parents deserve to be teachers? And what is my real name?", asked Jaka Umbaran immediately.

Maharesi Siwamurti shook his head slowly.

"I don't know Umbaran. The blue cloth embroidered with gold thread and the gold pendant's bobble necklace were all attached to your body as I snatched you from the seal's stealth hand. The rest is just a chakra-shaped birthmark on your right back that's all there is.

Maybe the object is a clue about who you really are", hearing the remark, Jaka Umbaran nanar stared at the blue cloth embroidered with gold thread and the bobble necklace of this gold pendant. There was a kind of haru feeling that immediately burst into the recesses of his heart. He was determined to look for the whereabouts of his parents figure.

"You want to find your parents, Umbaran?", said Maharesi Siwamurti as if he knew what was in the mind of the handsome young man.

"Yes Master, I want to find out who my real parents are. I want to see what the figure of the mother who gave birth to me and the father who had abandoned his child until I was in this hermitage" said Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"Don't get me wrong first, Umbaran. Looking at the stealthy seal carrying you, I'm sure he must have kidnapped you without your parents knowing. He's also the only clue as to who your parents really are.

I let you down the mountain. But remember I asked for a reward for the teaching I had given. First, come to Mount Pamarihan (Mount Merbabu now ) to meet my brother and sister Resi Mpu Hanggabhaya at Bukit Katong College" said Maharesi Siwamurti with a faint smile.

"I understand Master..

So anytime I can go down the mountain and visit Katong Hill College?", asked Jaka Umbaran immediately. Hearing the question, Maharesi Siwamurti immediately counted the days and markets at that time. Then with a wide smile engraved on his face, he looked towards Jaka Umbaran.

"Today is the best time for you, Ngger Cah Bagus.

To tread the road in the martial world, you must andap asor (humble ), must not be jumawa ( arrogant) and must always prioritize the truth. Do not judge everything from your point of view alone, so be wise in dealing with every problem.

As your piandel (grip ), I'll give you an heirloom that you can use to protect yourself from the criminals you meet", Maharesi Siwamurti cupped both palms in front of the chest.

From the center of his chest, an heirloom keris complete with a sheath. As the heirloom dagger was plucked from its sheath, it emitted a reddish-blue glow. Maharesi Siwamurti immediately held the 5-floated heirloom handle with his right hand and the old man immediately put the heirloom keris blade to his forehead while closing his eyes. Then immediately put the heirloom keris again into his container. After that he immediately extended the heirloom keris to Jaka Umbaran.

This heirloom kris has a power that can extinguish the fire both from aji jaya kawijayan and real fire. He can you use to protect yourself both from the heretics and from the demons who disturb you. In addition, this heirloom keris can be to appease the soul of the owner as well as those around him.

Take this as your hand, Ngger Cah Bagus", said Maharesi Siwamurti when extending the heirloom to Jaka Umbaran. Jaka Umbaran immediately received her with both hands. Imitating the way his teacher, Jaka Umbaran immediately put the heirloom keris into his body. In the blink of an eye, Keris Pulanggeni had entered into the body of this handsome young man.

Soon after, Jaka Umbaran packed up to set off on the road in the martial world. Two pairs of clothes he had were put into a bundle of black cloth. Not to forget also the blue cloth embroidered with gold thread and gold pendant bobble necklace. After everything was settled, Jaka Umbaran immediately met the teacher to say goodbye.

"Be careful Ngger Cah Bagus..

One more message, when you meet with your brother Jiwandana, take back the Thousand Arm Sword Science Book. Also the Mentawa Sword he stole from the hermitage.

May the Great Lord always protect your every move. Go Umbaran", said Maharesi Siwamurti while smiling meaningfully.

"Murid pamit Guru's. Take good care of the teacher" said Jaka Umbaran before stepping away from Watu Bolong Hermitage. The burly young man walked down the path to the west.

Maharesi Siwamurti stared at the back of the disciple and disappeared from his sight. Together with Suketi who is now a new resident of Watu Bolong Hermitage, Maharesi Siwamurti twisted his body and stepped back to his residence.

With the science of lightening his tall body, Jaka Umbaran as if not treading the ground. In just a matter of a few eyes, he had reached the foot of Mount Lawu. Jaka Umbaran dyed here and there. He who always lives in Watu Bolong Hermitage and never set foot in the outside world is of course a little confused about where to go.

During this time almost all the needs in can nature around where he lives. Together with the teacher, he himself planted cassava in the garden near the hermitage. Vegetables, bananas, sweet uwi in the garden. For meat needs, he often hunts in the forest foothills of Mount Lawu. As he recalled, he had only twice joined his teacher at the market to buy clothes and salt.

Amidst his confusion, suddenly from the west, Jaka Umbaran's ears heard the sound of a fight. Without wasting any more time, Jaka Umbaran immediately shot towards the source of the sound. As soon as he reached the destination, Jaka Umbaran immediately tracked the ground hard until his body bounces high into the air. With a movement of a body as light as cotton, he landed on one of the branches of the jackfruit tree and saw the scene that was going on underneath.

Two young girls dressed similarly were black with yellow scarves on their chests, yellow shorts with a dark brown jarit with a burly middle-aged man holding a sword appeared to be surrounded by dozens of burly men with a spooky face. Apparently, the middle-aged man who was dressed like a swordsman in yellow clothes was deeply injured because there was fresh blood leaking out from the corner of his lips.

"Yellow Swordsman!

It seems that your big name is just a figment of a thumbs up hahahaha. It is not too late to give up. If you give up, those two beautiful students of yours I'll make as my mistress and you can leave here now", said a stocky man with a thick moustache with a red headband while pointing towards the middle-aged man who was in deep wounds. It seemed like he was the leader of these creepy-faced burly men.

"Open..

To death I will never be a slave to your lust, you bastard!! It is better for me to die than to serve your depraved passions" replied a beautiful girl who called the leader of this group of spooky men by the name of Banupati.

"True Kangmbok Wuni..

I also don't want to be with a pervert bastard like him. Teacher, it is better for us to fight them even if we lose our lives" another girl chimed in as she turned to the middle-aged man who was setting his breath with a pleading gaze.

"Don't be rash Cantil, Wuni..

The current Banupati is not the old Banupati. He already has a high kanuragan science uhukkk uhukkk..

You two better run. I will hold them for as long as possible" said the old man nicknamed the Yellow Swordsman as he held tightly to the handle of his sword.

"Bas stubborn!!

It was fortunate that I would accept you both as my mistresses but instead insult me. Red Bat College student disciple, kill the selfless old man but let the two female demons stay alive. Just catch them, I will beat them in my own way" said Banupati as she swept her tongue to the lips while staring pervertedly at these two beautiful girls.

Hearing the orders from Banupati, the twenty thick-bodied men with red headbands immediately charged forward towards the Yellow Swordsman and his two disciples. The unbalanced fight between them continued.

Thrraaanngggg!!

Dhhaaaassshhh dhhaaassshhh!!

But presumably the resistance of the Yellow Swordsman and his two disciples was just a waste. They were outnumbered and the opponents they faced were quite formidable. In a matter of a few moves, several wounds had adorned the bodies of the two beautiful girls while the Yellow Swordsman himself was lying helpless on the ground after Banupati's hard kick struck his stomach.

When Banupati was about to touch the body of one of the Yellow Swordsman disciples, a jackfruit fruit shot towards the back of his right hand.

Cllaaaassshhhhh!

Aaaarrrgggghhhhh!!!

Banupati immediately roared loudly when the jackfruit seeds hit on the back of his palm until the back of his hand was swollen instantly so hard to throw the jackfruit seeds. He immediately stopped his steps and stared intently at the incoming attack while cursing loudly, saying,

"Rancid bastard!! Show yourself, don't just dare to hide while attacking.

Get out you motherfucker!!!"
