JAYABAYA: The Journey of Being a Legend
Ayah

"The two swords..

It was an heirloom belonging to our silat college that was stolen by a Demon-Eyed Killing Angel. Give it back to us" said a handsome young man with a stocky stature in yellow clothes while pointing towards the White Eagle Sword and the Sword of Hell in the hands of Jaka Umbaran.

He is Udhayana, son of Resi Mpu Diradameta led by Padepokan Gunung Malabar in the western region of Paguhan Duchy. His nickname is the Yellow Prince of Mount Malabar because his father who is a sage and warrior sepuh the martial world is highly respected by the Duke of Lokawijaya, the current ruler of the Duchy of Paguhan.

The good looks of this young man made him famous as a prince even though he was not a man of the nobility. It is said that reportedly, many daughters of noble daughters fell in love with Udhayana because of her good looks. In addition to high-science, he will be the daughter-in-law of Duke Lokawijaya so that his nickname as a prince makes him have a slightly arrogant and arrogant attitude.

"What is the evidence that this heirloom belongs to your silat college, the Yellow Prince?

I did not see the name of your college on the scabbard or the blade of the sword. Do not make it up.", said Dewi Rengganis with a sniffle. He had long disliked the arrogant attitude of that handsome pretentious young man.

"Dear girl, keep that sharp mouth of yours if you still love your life..

Uncle Gupalawiya, explain to them. I was lazy to talk to that ugly woman", Udhayana turned to look at a middle-aged man dressed in tune with her who was standing not far from where she was standing. The middle-aged man rushed over to them.

"I'm sorry if we're being disrespectful, Angel of the South Wind..

But what the Yellow Prince said is true. The two heirloom swords in the young man's hands belonged to our college that was stolen by the Mutant God ten years ago. We keep track of the whereabouts of the criminal thief. Somehow, we heard that the sword fell into the hands of the Demon-Eyed Killing Angel. And now it's in your hands. Of course it becomes a big question mark that must be explained" said the middle-aged man named Mpu Gupalawiya, elder Padepokan Gunung Malabar politely.

"I got her after killing the Demon-Eyed Killer Angel. Nyai Larasati, Dewi Rengganis and this friend of mine became eyewitnesses who saw the incident.

So we did not steal it from the Devil-Eyed Killer Angel" Jaka Umbaran said as he stared intently at Udhayana. He did not like the haughty attitude of this young man.

Hearing that answer, Udhayana immediately turned to Mpu Gupalawiya. The big name Awang Bajra The Demon-Eyed Killer Angel as a high-science swordsman is quite famous up to the Paguhan Duchy which borders directly with the Kingdom of Galuh Pakuan and Mandala Tanjung Sengguruh. Defeating the old swordsman until he managed to kill him, is not an easy thing to do. This means that those who do it must be high-scientific warriors.

"From the South Wind..

Who is this young man? Is it true the story he just said?", asked Mpu Gupalawiya immediately. Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel immediately nodded quickly.

"This young man is Jaka Umbaran, the regulator of the central region that was just set aside in the Kali Gung Valley the other day, Mpu Gupalawiya.

Everything said by Jaka Umbaran is true. If you had heard of the devastating explosion just now, it was the clash of her magic with the Demon-Eyed Killing Angel. And as a result, you see for yourself the pieces of flesh and body scattered in this place. It was part of Awang Bajra's body The Demon-Eyed Killer Angel", Nyai Larasati immediately spread out her hands.

Seeing that, Udhayana and Mpu Gupalawiya immediately looked around the place and saw several pieces of human body scattered in all directions. One of the intact parts was just a head piece stuck on a branch of the krombang tree and Mpu Gupalawiya who recognized the head piece was immediately aware that Nyai Larasati's speech was not lying at all.

Aware that they are now dealing with two famous martial world region organizers after the meeting of martial world warriors in the Kali Gung Valley, Udhayana and Mpu Gupalawiya attitude immediately changed. Although they did not go there for one reason or another, the news related to the election of the new regional regulator of the martial world was also heard.

"Then, forgive us for being disrespectful to you guys just now, Southern Wind Angel.

Is there a way for the two heirloom swords to return to our school? We are willing to pay whatever you ask to release the sword into our hands" Mpu Gupalawiya said.

Hearing those words, Nyai Larasati immediately turned towards Jaka Umbaran immediately.

"How about the Swordsman of Mount Lawu? Are you willing to sell them the sword?", asked Nyai Larasati immediately.

"If your college is indeed the rightful owner of these two swords, I wouldn't mind if I were to hand them over to you. The conditions are quite easy, just ask your teacher to take it at the residence of Nyai Larasati with ten gold pieces, 20 silver pieces and 30 copper pieces with a pair of buffalo", he said", said Jaka Umbaran with a thin smile.

"Alright if that is your wish, Pendekar Gunung Lawu.

I will tell the teacher of Resi Mpu Diradameta led by Padepokan Gunung Malabar. Wait for us in the Orange Orchid Valley", said Mpu Gupalawiya while respecting.

"Why don't we just take two heirloom swords Uncle?

I was so angry to see the attitude of the pretentious lady earlier" Udhayana said in a voice full of anger.

"Don't be stupid, Yellow Prince..

They're not just anyone. I certainly can't defeat Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel. While Jaka Umbaran is also not a balanced opponent with you. We have to be patient if we want to get the White Eagle Sword and the Hell's Blade. We should immediately go back to Mount Malabar to report to Kakang Resi Mpu Diradameta. Let him decide what to do. Let's prince.."

Both of them quickly headed north. Both want to reach the slopes of Mount Malabar immediately to report what happened. In the blink of an eye, the bodies of the two people dressed in all-yellow clothes had disappeared in the lush swallowing of the tarum trees that were in full bloom.

The ferry boat splits through the murky watering waves of the Citanduy river. The rest of the overflow of water yesterday is still visible from the traces of mud that covered the leaves of shrubs perdu on the river bank. Not far from the boat, a flock of grouse birds are busy swimming while occasionally dipping his head into the water. While in the trees of wild fruits on the river bank, a flock of monkeys were busy hanging on the end of the tree branch while chewing the fruit. This view is able to make Jaka Umbaran smile meaningfully.

As soon as the ferry boat docked at the dock, Jaka Umbaran's small entourage immediately descended while leading their horses. In accordance with the original agreement, Jaka Umbaran paid 2 pieces of silver and 8 pieces of copper. 2 pieces of silver for the wage to ferry the four of them while 8 pieces of copper became the cost of crossing their four horse mounts.

The beauty of Dewi Rengganis ignited the attention of some people they met on the banks of the Citanduy River. Some blatantly looked so interested in the beautiful woman, whereas others only dared to glance at her because they saw there was a handsome and dashing young man who was beside her.

One of them was a man wearing a caping covered with a thin translucent black cloth. The man who dressed up like a swordsman continued to pay attention to Dewi Rengganis who began to dare to wander spoiled on Jaka Umbaran's left arm.

After the entourage of Jaka Umbaran left the place heading eastward on their own horses, the man with the caping black curtain immediately followed them from a distance.

But beyond his calculations, there is a Simharaja Resi in the small entourage. The thick-bodied middle-aged man glanced back several times. Apparently the radiance of energy in the out of the body of the man in the hood caping black curtain was when exerting his inner strength for the science of lightening the body, can be felt by the former Demon King Alas Roban.

Jaka Umbaran who rode beside Resi Simharaja, smiled faintly at all of that.

"Do you also feel someone is following us, Resi Simharaja?", asked Jaka Umbaran as he continued to race his horse.

"Yes Ndoro Umbaran..

How best? We hold it or let it go?", Resi Simharaja looked towards Jaka Umbaran.

"Leave it.. If he wants bad intentions, we'll fight him. Don't mind that guy. We must get to the Orange Orchid Valley before dusk. Said Rengganis, we still have to travel half a day more by riding", after saying so, Jaka Umbaran kicked the reins of his horse until the dark brown fur horse immediately darted towards the east.

After passing Wanua Pegadingan, they continued to drive their horses eastward. In the west of the Karanggintung hills region, Jaka Umbaran deliberately accelerated his horse. Soon he informs her of his plan to trap the stalker who has been following them ever since. At the foot of the hill, he immediately jumped high into the air and landed on the branch of the large tree that was there. Meanwhile, his horse continued to run along with the entourage.

As per his conjecture, the stalker who had been following them since from the outskirts of the Citanduy River continued to follow them. As soon as the man with the black curtain passed under his hiding place, Jaka Umbaran immediately slid down while throwing a hard kick towards his back. The swirling cold wind that followed, made the man clad in black curtains immediately plunge down to dodge.

He escaped from the fast ambush of Jaka Umbaran who then landed in front of him. Simultaneously, Nyai Larasati, Dewi Rengganis and Resi Simharaja also appeared from behind. This made the thick-bodied man with the black-covered bamboo caping beleaguered by them.

"Say, who are you and what do you want to follow us?", asked Nyai Larasati immediately. The thick-bodied man could be heard sighing deeply before slowly releasing the black curtain caping that covered his entire face. Nyai Larasati was surprised instead of playing to see who the figure of the person behind the black curtain caping was.

"Prabhaswara? Is this really you?", asked Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel immediately.

"larasati. It's me, Prabhaswara your best friend. Long time we do not see" said a middle-aged man with thick mustache who had partially bleached because mixed with gray hair.

The goddess Rengganis who was standing beside her late-goal recognized the heavy voice of the middle-aged man. He looked directly at his teacher.

"Teacher, who is this guy? Why don't I feel alien to her?", asked Dewi Rengganis immediately. Hearing that question, Nyai Larasati the Southern Wind Angel immediately smiled faintly before saying,

"He's your father.."
