Dapi turned on his phone. He tried to see the clock on the screen of electronic objects that are now gods to humans. The number 03.15 Wita on the screen that has a sea view wallpaper.
He tried to speed up the horse he was riding. The horse is a clear color from the hardened water base material, created by it. The imaginary creature gallantly ran through the forest full of large trees. Although the terrain traveled uphill, the horse seemed not to want to stop, continued to run as the wishes of his master.
The young man wearing all black clothes, moved from home to Mount Agung which is about sixty kilometers from the residence in Amlapura. He deliberately came out in the middle of the night to be invisible to ordinary humans.
Previously, Dapi just ran and jumped from his home to the forest on the edge of the city of Amlapura, after that, he decided to make the imaginary creature he rides now.
It's been a week, Artha is back in Jakarta. Dapi called Artha several times to tell her about her sister's abduction. Artha provides information that the kidnapping of her sister was masterminded by Big Boss' accomplice. Artha only found out about it when she told her father about the incident on the seabed of Tulamben Beach. From there, Om Bagas gave information on who was the mastermind of the kidnapping of Dapi's sister.
Dapi followed his intuition that at the top of Mount Agung, he would find clues regarding the kidnapping of his biological brother. Artha could not accompany because the sixth team member to be recruited must be under his current supervision. So he focused on the young man who was in Jakarta.
Dapi tries to keep the balance of the body above the imagination creatures in the form of horses. He took a road full of thick trees and uphill. He couldn't have taken the usual route that mountaineers would take. The route taken is the route through Pasar Agung Temple because this route is rarely traversed by climbers. The peak of Mount Agung to be achieved ranges from 3,142 meters above sea level. But he did not yet know whether he would meet a creature according to his intuition, whether it was at the highest peak or at the second peak.
The young man followed his intuition, as on the night he regained his strength in the Tirta Gangga Tourism Park. He believed that something would be found at the Peak of Mount Agung.
The dense forest has been passed, the more it leads to the top, the trees on Mount Agung begin to decrease. There are only short trees and grass. Large stones and small pebbles have become the base of the ground, not the grass anymore.
Now Dapi is at an altitude of 2,571 meters above sea level. At this height, there is a fifth post for climbers. He stopped the water horse that was riding. He's back to seeing the cell phone. The number on the electronic device is 04.25. "It's approaching shabuh," he murmured.
Looking around, everything was still dark, the moonlight shining on the moving clouds. Around where he stopped his horse, Dapi saw a small temple standing firm. He tried to order the imaginary horse to run upwards towards the small temple where Hindus worship. Maybe he'll find something there, he thought.
The clear colored water horse that resembled a real horse, walked slowly. There was a sound of a horseshoe pounding against the rocks scattered below. The climbing route to the summit is very steep and slippery, Dapi trying to focus themselves.
He stopped near the small temple. Silent for a moment. He looked down, as if talking to his intuition. He didn't feel like something was going to happen here, and then he moved the water horse back up. Ridden horses do not run fast, only running small towards the top through the pebble-new rocks. On the right and left are deep gaps.
The imaginary horse climbed back up the mountain slope. This time, the road passed rocky and sandy, no longer visible grass around. Dapi ordered the horse to keep running towards the first peak, usually the place is called the top one by mountain climbers. He is currently at an altitude of 2,946 meters above sea level and this slope is rocky and slippery.
He stopped back. Observe around. This time he felt something. His intuition said to settle in this area.
There was the sound of imaginary horse legs made of water stomping his poultice against the rock. Get off the horse's back. He felt something on the top of this mountain. It was not the cold air at the top of the mountain that made him descend from the horses and monitor the surroundings. He put his eyes and ears on carefully.
"Come out, I won't hurt you" Dapi said slowly. It seemed like he knew the existence of the creatures that existed in the region and he also seemed to know of the strength of the creatures.
From behind the clouds, faintly seen the shape of a bird figure. Still transparent. The creature is still in the form of stripes in the form of a bird. Not how long it was clear a white creature had wide wings. He flapped his wings several times in the air.
The creature flew closer to Dapi, then set both its slender legs on the gravel stones mixed with sand. But his feet were like the feet of a bird, had elongated fingers and had sharp hooves.
He knelt before Dapi. His position was half crouching. The lower body part is hairy like a bird from the waist up to the soles of the feet. The creature's current position, its left knee touching the ground along with the lower left leg. As for the sole of the right foot, his nails clenched onto the ground with his knees and thighs touching his right chest.
He looked embarrassed to raise his face. His wide wings had folded on his back. This figure wears white shorts patterned checkered and scarf cloth tied around the waist, also white, in accordance with the color in the feathers that are on the knee to the ankle, it is also white like cotton. But the top is open, wearing nothing. His skin looks yellow.
"Stand," Dapi ordered quietly.
The creature then stood up but still lowered its head.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you" asked Dapi wisely.
"Sorry Your Majesty, my name is Kinnara. I'm a bird demon assigned to guard the Kalpataru Tree, a real bird demon who claims to be himself by the name of Kinnara. This bird is male. The lower part of the body, like a bird but the upper part of the body like a human who has abdominal muscles and chest muscles that protrude on both sides.
I know who this creature really is. His memory is filled with the story of this creature. And the half-bird-shaped creature called Dapi His Majesty, meaning he also knew who Dapi was.
"What are you doing here? Isn't it your job to look after the Kalpataru Tree as you say?" real Dapi.
The young man stood face to face with the Bird Demon.
"I can no longer look after the Kalpataru Tree, Your Majesty, because my twin has been kidnapped by a very cruel creature" Kinnara said in a sad tone. He bowed, then rubbed his tears that suddenly fell.
"Our enemies are the same, Your Majesty. The one who kidnapped my twin is the same person, kidnapped His Majesty's sister in this present life" Kinnara explained. He still lowered his head.
Deg.
He was silent for a moment. This was the answer from his intuition. Meet Kinnara and get information about her sister's kidnapping.
"Where do you know about that?" ask Dapi to investigate.
"My return has long been kidnapped by the creature, Your Majesty. I was unable to release the magic inherent in my twin's mind. The magic purposely tied to my twin is very powerful. For months I followed their movements but I was powerless to release my twin from the creature's magic. He's very strong. Because it was following their movements that I came to know that His Majesty's sister was kidnapped a few weeks ago."
Kinnara was still wiping away her falling tears. He's very sad. Seen from his behavior.
Dapi also felt sad because he saw the Bird Demon and also because he remembered his sister.
"So you know where my sister is right now?" ask Dapi.
It's been a week, they've moved my twin and His Majesty's sister somewhere, but I haven't been able to find her yet, Your Majesty."
Dapi's face was a little disappointed. He's been looking for his brother every night since his powers came back. But he did not get any leads at all. But at least, this time he was already convinced that Big Boss was the mastermind of this incident and he believed from what Kinnara said.
Dapi invites Kinnara to sit back on the rocky ground. They saw the view of Mount Raung and Mount Rinjani from the top of the second peak of Mount Agung. The moonlight is almost over due to the dawn that will be approaching.
Dapi listens to the story of Kinnara who lost her twin a few months ago and she tries to find a way out so she can save her twin but she has no power to fight the plot led by Big Bosses.
On the eastern horizon, there has been a reddish-yellow glow. Shahid passed half an hour ago. From the top of Mount Agung Peak, now clearly visible clouds that are below them. Also clearly visible are Mount Raung Peak and Mount Rinjani Peak which is covered with clouds. The beautiful view of Lake Batur is also a plus from the scenery witnessed by Dapi this morning.
"How beautiful is this nature that You created, O God, but why is there still a human being who consciously wants to destroy this magnificent creation of yours" Dapi murmured.
