His name is Maharesi Wiramabajra, an old hermit who has not been in the ins and outs of the martial world for a long time. He was the younger brother of Prabu Menak Luhur of the Blambangan Kingdom who had been defeated by Panji Tejo Laksono when he was young at the Battle of Kali Lawor which was the border between the Kingdom of Panjalu and Jenggala. For now, this old man's age has been more than 1 century.
The Wiramabajra Rishis have been imprisoned in one of the caves in Mount Raung which is the Blambangan Kingdom. He actually wants to achieve perfection of life with hard ascetic so that the body moksa united with the creator. But after almost 20 years of asceticism, he was not able to achieve moxa as well as the Prabu Airlangga who became his role model. Only his magic alone grew bigger and scarier.
Maharesi Wiramabajra himself is not a bad person. The old man whose path is limping is even known by the people of Blambangan Kingdom as Wong Agung Mount Raung is so godly. He is an old hermit who is highly respected by the knights and officials of the Blambangan Kingdom. In addition to his magic, he is also very skilled in the field of Hinduism Shiva school. Lots of people who studied to him, one of them is his favorite student who is now loyal to accompany him to find the killer of his brother Prabu Menak Luhur, Wara Andhira.
Actually, the death of Prabu Menak Luhur as a result of his fight with Panji Tejo Laksono has been understood as a sign of the defeat of the war. However, after the death of Prince Prince Ganeshabrata son of Prabu Menak Luhur, there were some parties loyal followers of Prince Ganeshabrata who then scraped back old wounds. They spread the news that the death of Prabu Menak Luhur and Prince Ganeshabrata was the work of Panji Tejo Laksono, the prince of Panjalu. This sparked the anger of Maharesi Wiramabajra aka Wong Agung Gunung Raung after receiving pisowanan some loyal followers Raden Ganeshabrata. Those who are smart to sparkle their tongues, able to burn the fire of anger in the heart of Wong Agung Mount Raung.
Therefore, a week ago Wong Agung Gunung Raung went down the mountain to find the existence of the figure of Panji Tejo Laksono who has now become the King of Panjalu. From Mount Raung, the old hermit walked to Panjalu with his beloved disciple, Wara Andhira. From the news they got when they reached the outskirts of Kali Lawor, they both know that now Panji Tejo Laksono lives in Kotaraja Daha Palace.
"He is a King, Master..
Of course there will be a lot of soldiers who will take care of him. I heard, Kotaraja Daha Palace has many retainers with high martial skills. We must not be rash in our actions, Guru.", said Wara Andhira, the beautiful young woman immediately.
Mmmmmm..
"You're right too, Andhira.. Tell you what, I will send a challenge to Panji Tejo Laksono. You wrote her challenge letter. I will send it through my Ajian Sampar Angin", while Wara Andhira carries out the orders of the teacher, the old man dressed as a hermit immediately took a piece of the dried tree branch near where he was standing. The old man's mouth immediately panted a spell.
Chllliiiiinnnggg!
A moment later, the dry twig in his hand turned into a kris. This 7 notched keris looks like a keris that has just been forged. Smiling with a thin smile at the keris in his hand, Maharesi Wiramabajra immediately tied the handle with a torn cloth that read a challenge for Prabu Bameswara the gift of the beloved disciple.
Maharesi Wiramabajra's mouth is back kamit kamat reciting the mantra. A blink of an eye later, the keris he had in his hand had disappeared from sight.

The atmosphere of the coronation of Prince Mapanji Jayabaya as Yuwaraja Panjalu is still just finished. Everyone present at the Grand Pendopo of Kotaraja Daha Palace looked delighted.
Mpu Gumbreg the Wredamantri stroked his whitened beard while muttering to himself while not turning his eyes towards Jaka Umbaran who had just finished being crowned Crown Prince.
"I didn't expect that I would see the 3 young princes become Yuwaraja Panjalu. From Gusti Prabu Jayengrana, Gusti Prabu Bameswara to Prince Mapanji Jayabaya.
Apparently I am old now", said Mpu Gumbreg slowly.
"It's only now that you're aware, Mbreg..
We live in two and a half centuries. Hence reduce the nature of your land crocodile. Remember the age and shame of Besur", said Mpu Landung who sat next to him.
"Don't be a smart ass you're Ndung..
Do you think I don't know what you do with Rajegwesi in the suburbs there, at Nyi Sampir's place? Huh, you hypocrite! Mbok so that person is like me, honestly what it is. If it is naughty yes naughty, do not have to wear sok alim all ", muttered Mpu Gumbreg who immediately made Mpu Rajegwesi and Mpu Landung shocked not to play.
You do not think" said Mpu Landung immediately.
"Godly, where does anyone want to say anything? Besides, there's no way Ludaka would have you two take care of Nyi Sampir's brothel. You think I'm a moron?", sergeant Mpu Gumbreg a little hard. Only, Mapatih Mpu Baprakeswara aka Mpu Ludaka who was in his place immediately glared towards Mpu Gumbreg.
"Ssssttttttt, keep your attitude Mbreg. It's a grand event", whispered Mpu Baprakeswara aka Mpu Ludaka while glancing at the kereng.
"But Lu.."
Mpu Gumbreg has not yet finished his talk, all of a sudden..
Whhiiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrhhhh....!!!
A loud buzzing sound was heard by everyone. They all looked for the source of the sound. The humming sound was getting louder and louder..
Shhhrrreeeeettth!!
A dagger shot towards Prabu Bameswara. But the King of Panjalu quickly flicked his hand until the keris was sticking to the right side and stuck on the pedestal of the Pendopo Agung Palace Kotaraja Daha building.
Ohhrreeeppppppppphhh!!
Everyone was shocked and immediately got up from their respective seats. This happened so fast that they did not notice it. Rakryan Rangga Mapanji Amaraha immediately shouted loudly.
"Soldiers, check outside!!!"
The soldiers of the palace guards immediately rushed to check around the Grand Pendopo of Kotaraja Daha Palace. While Prabu Bameswara immediately approached the keris that stuck on the pole of this large building because he saw a piece of cloth tied to the handle. Soon Prabu Bameswara pulled the keris while reading the writing listed above.
'Prabu Bameswara, if you're a knight, I wait at the eastern boundary of Kotaraja Daha'
Panji Tejo Laksono aka Prabu Bameswara snorted coldly while tightly grasping the handle of the keris. He then closed his eyes for a while and a thin white mist immediately covered his entire body. A moment later, he had already disappeared from everyone's sight. Apparently he used his Ajian Halimun to go as soon as possible to the challenger's place.
Jaka Umbaran aka Prince Mapanji Jayabaya immediately turned to Resi Simharaja who sat cross-legged behind the courtiers of Kotaraja Daha Palace. Like having a strong inner bond, Resi Simharaja immediately understood what the young prince wanted. He nodded quickly.
As soon as Resi Simharaja's gesture was received, Prince Mapanji Jayabaya immediately rose from his seat and was about to step away from the place but Dyah Kirana the Queen of Panjalu immediately asked, "Nakmas Pangeran Jayabaya, where are you going?"
While chanting the mantra Ajian Step Dewa Angin his, Jaka Umbaran aka Prince Mapanji Jayabaya immediately replied,
"Following Kanjeng Romo Prabu, Biyung Ratu.."
