Map of 7 Souls: Hikma Andapi
Serendipity : Ep. 14

This afternoon, at Sanggar Seni Surya Candra, the students have completed the traditional Balinese dance training session, namely Dari Pendet. Dapi and his friends rushed home. Dapi picked up a black dominant backpack with a blue strap, in the corner of the gazebo they were wearing as a training ground this afternoon.

"But...."

Dapi. Beside him stood a tall girl, almost beyond her. Dapi looked at the girl for a moment with a surprised and innocent face. Then she smiled a little.

"Hi."

"You're a tenacious guy, yeah, during practice don't want to talk and joke with other friends" the girl said. He did try to approach Dapi and tell stories during the training sessions but the young man he cared about was always serious and focused with the training given by their seniors.

"Ah. Sorry, I'm like that." Dapi picked up the backpack and put it on his back.

"I'm new to Amlapura, so I don't know much about this city. You want to dong walk with me to look around the tourist attractions around here." The girl expressed her wish with a slightly spoiled face.

"Hmmm.... Could be. But not today." He stood in front of the girl. His brain and his sixth sense reacted. He tried to find something and convince his intuition.

"Ouh. It's okay" the girl replied, adding a small smile. Now he said with a careless attitude.

Deg.

"His smile is quite sweet and seductive," muttered Dapi inwardly.

"Oh yeah. Can I have your phone number?"

"Hmmm.... Can." Dapi mentions eleven numbers. He watched the girl in front of him, typing in the given numbers.

Casually dressed girls in tight jeans as subordinates tapped on some menus. He kept the number that the young man who was standing before him gave him.

"OKAY. Ntar I chat yes. I go first. Bye." The girl ran towards the stairs of the gazebo.

Dapi. The aura he felt the first time he met the girl, turned out to be no more. Just ordinary. There was no black aura surrounding the girl who introduced herself to him by the name of Tania, three days ago. Even now he looks cute with his tomboyish style in Dapi's eyes.

*******

The yellow Fire Eagle streaked through the air. This time the creature nosedived and pierced through the sphere-shaped Stratocumulus cloud and its thin layer that covered the sky.

Bapi laughed off. Both of his hands stretched upwards full of excitement. Childishness and its efficacy appear unconsciously. Both of his legs were coiled around the Fire Eagle's waist.

In front of the laughing young man, Artha sat down, holding a bridle made of fire connected to the beak of the Eagle created from his imagination.

Yep. Artha.., she's in Bali right now. Dapi calls her to stop by Bali and investigate Big Boss' henchmen activities.

To get that information, they would meet Kinnara waiting at the Lempuyang Temple on the Peak of Mount Lempuyang.

Originally, by phone, they had planned this out. They will go to the Peak of Lempuyang using a motorcycle and jump several times, of course, will reach the Peak of Lempuyang, which will be, it was very easy to do but the circumstances of the afternoon would be seen by many ordinary humans, so Artha undo that intention.

Next Dapi gave the idea to use the Fire Eagle to go to the Peak of Lempuyang.

Artha agreed to Dapi's suggestion. He will create the Fire Eagle and Dapi will create a creature that can fly from the water according to his imagination.

But Dapi did not want to be like that, he wanted to ride the Fire Eagle with Artha.

Of course Artha refused, she did not want to hurt the young man for riding on a creature of his artificial imagination.

Dapi, the young man who had the charm of persuading that was at a high level, finally won. Artha agreed to her request. And finally Artha had to bring clothes from Jakarta made from Nomex (clothes made for firefighters to be resistant to fire) which is always stored at home. He deliberately kept Nomex clothes so that people who had other powers could ride the Fire Eagle without being hurt. If in a desperate condition. But the present situation is not an urgent moment. This is the condition that is planned. However, Artha could not refuse Dapi's request. He granted the adorable young man a wish when he wanted something.

When he arrived in Bali, escorted by his father in a "normal" way according to them, Artha immediately greeted Dapi with a long scolding because of Nomex's clothes, but Dapi only laughed to respond.

And seeing the happiness of the young man whom he had considered his own sister, who was currently sitting behind him, he was happy and displayed a long smile on his small lips.

He came back screaming in joy. He really enjoyed the trip this time. Flying with the Fire Eagle pierced through the clouds that covered the sky. Nomex clothes are used to cover the entire body, including the head, soles of the feet and palms. Only his face was visible, the young man was wearing a hijab.

Under certain conditions, like now, when it comes to interacting with other members and being blocked by their respective strengths, Artha thinks of something. He thought that there were tools created so as not to hinder their interaction when joined into a team later. Or a tool that is created so that there is no need to bother relying on an invisible circle whose range is limited and the tool can be used at any time to be invisible to ordinary humans. He made this point to his father and Om Bagas said that from their team, after joining later, there would be one person who could create the tool as the other members wished.

Fire Eagles surround Mount Lempuyang which is already below, the creature is still in the Stratocumulus cloud region.

They pierced through the Stratocumulus cloud, tipped down, and then through the Nimbostratus cloud. Artha felt a grain of rain water as it pierced through the cloud. Next through the lowest cloud is the stratus cloud.

Dapi laughed with excitement. This time he hugged Artha's waist which was in front of him.

"Kereeeeeen," he shouted loudly. The action is not like a king drop, but like a child playing in the Fantasy World.

Before long, they had already been above the Lempuyang Temple. About three hundred meters above the building that is clearly visible physical shape. Fire Eagles still fly around above the historic temple area.

The temple building located 1,175 meters from sea level is clearly visible from above. The temple which was built lengthwise and consists of three parts was surrounded by dense trees at the Peak of Mount Lempuyang. The first part is Lempuyang Sor, rising up in the middle is called Lempuyang Madya and the top part is called Lempuyang Luhur. From the sky very clearly visible gate of Pura that berundak typical of Bali and very clearly seen three rows of stairs with many stairs, towards the part of Lempuyang Luhur is the top.

The Fire Eagle circled over the Peak of Mount Lempuyang several times, waiting for orders from his master. Artha looked around first. Many tourists are seen from above. Of course he could see those ordinary humans but instead they could not see the movements of Artha and Dapi due to the Invisible Circle that had already been made.

Artha tried to land the Fire Eagle at Lempuyang Luhur, the very top. He chose the landing spot carefully even though it was invisible to the ordinary human eye, he only kept it in case other invisible beings followed and saw their action.

The top part is Lempuyang lofty looks deserted. Because not just anyone can go up and get into this section. Artha directed the Fire Eagle to the floor of Lempuyang Luhur Temple. There were some people praying there. The air from the flapping wings of the Fire Eagle fluttered some of the dry leaves on the floor.

Not yet had both feet of the Fire Eagle landed on the top floor of the building, Artha flicked her right finger hard. The Fire Eagle faded and disappeared. The three arrows that were still in the air were quickly captured by Artha and put into the container that was on her back.

Artha and Dapi had footed on the floor of the Pura building. They look around. Dapi opens the black head covering of the Nomex material used. That head covering hangs around the back neck right now. He was like wearing wetsuits when he wanted to dive in Tulamben Beach a few weeks ago with Artha.

"Where's that half-bird creature, Pi?" artha asked towards Dapi.

"Maybe he's still hiding, brother. For a moment I called, "real Dapi shriveled. The young man looked up. Stick the middle and index fingers whose edges are united to the lips. There was a long whistling sound coming from Dapi's mouth. His bright face was still looking up and spinning. In a few seconds, Dapi reviewed the small smile on his lips.

"He's coming" cried Dapi.

Artha looked up. He did not see the form of the creature for real, but still a transparent shadow above the sky headed to where they stood. The beauty of the sky was still visible from the transparent shadow that was in the shape of a bird. The transparent shadow twisted in the air and spread its wings, taking a swipe to land.

After a few seconds, the creature began to approach, clearly a wide wing flapped by a half-bird creature. The fur is white like cotton. The upper part of his body is muscular and human-shaped, while the legs are bird-shaped. There are claws on the tips of the toes like an eagle.

The creature was trying to land in front of them. The Half Bird creature named Kinnara flapped its wings once and folded its white wings when its feet had landed on the floor of the temple building. His position was half crouching, lowered. Not long after he stood up straight and smiled.

"Your Majesty. Good afternoon" he said to Dapi. His face was slightly wrinkled when he saw Dapi who was wearing a thick black dress wrapped around his body. It was obvious from the look on his face hinting at the strangeness.

"Yes. How are you, Kinnara?"

"Okay Your Majesty," Kinnara replied slightly nodding.

"Ah... Long story. Don't focus too much on the clothes I'm wearing" Dapi said. He could already read the minds of the half-bird creature.

"Ouh yeah... This is Brother Artha. He's my friend from Jakarta."

Dapi turned to Artha and introduced the young man to Kinnara.

"Master.... Salutations...." Kinnara's a little hunched over.

Artha smiled.

"Let's sit on that pendopo over there. It's been this afternoon, hopefully not too many people are praying."

Dapi directed them to a building made of wood like a pendopo that had no walls. Only the plank floor was roofed and refuted by four poles in the corners. It looks like the owner of the place. He walked like a child delivering a guest, his wife was missing, probably because of the clothes he was wearing.

The three of them sat on a pendopo measuring 4 x 5 cm. Sit cross-legged relaxed. Dapi starts a light conversation with Kinnara. After that they discussed the Big Boss plan that was implemented on the island of Bali. Their main focus is to kill Dapi. That information was just obtained by a half-bird creature. But until now, he had not been given any information on where they had set up the new headquarters. The old headquarters, which Kinnara used to stalk had been deserted. Looks like they know if anyone's stalking their activities.

Artha, Dapi and Kinnara exchanged information about the Big Boss plot on the island of Bali. They are also looking for information on the whereabouts of twin sister Kinnara and younger brother Dapi.

Artha also informs Dapi that the seventh member who will enter their team is being closely guarded by Om Bagas' men. They are also targeting the boys who will be the seventh member in their team.

Bali Island with the nickname of the Island of the Gods has a myriad of mysteries that must be solved by Dapi. He must solve this problem and find his sister quickly, so that Father and Mother are calm at home.
