Every spilled blood had life and breath left in it.
The adherents of mysticism launch the action by performing offerings and rituals in any way even though their lives are on the edge of death. Spells, offerings, sweat and blood were sacrificed to gain the highest position of science.
Opung Tolu is the third of three surviving children in his family. His father and mother had died after he managed to master the science and magic of mandraguna. So did both Tolu brothers who died after he used black magic while burying himself for forty days. Without him noticing, the people nearby became a collision over the power he had.
Now, Tolu opung became the figure most feared and respected by all villagers. He is known as a magic shaman who can grant the wishes of those who come to him. The story of Tolu's opung at the age of a hundred years and various supernatural warfare that he had to do every day made his body weaker. Even so, the spirit figure of Tolu opung still lives and remains in the world by entering the body of the great-granddaughter of choice he wants.

“Unang hosom roham tujolma nahsea, ala dang taboto aha na dikornanon lao reached hasonangon I” his mother Mariti told her three daughters.
Their lives were very much already, the small hut house was inhabited by five people who had to divide the place and put the goods as much as possible. The income of Mr. Don who worked as a farmer was not enough for their survival. Mariti's mother is weak, she is sickly who only rely on the husband as the backbone of the family, only she often forced herself to help her husband work. The attitude of Mariti's mother always gives advice about life for the best to her children. Ibu Mariti always teaches about the study of Islam, the content of verses that are in our holy Qur’an as well as all the teachings of the religious pole.
Every morning, they perform congregational prayer services in a surau located very far from their hut. Armed with a torch in hand, they headed to Surau with a face and prayer mat in a wide span of one prayer mat for two people.
The sound of the tadarus of the three girls melodious incense mixed together echoed throughout the village area. Worship five times that must be carried out even though it is at work or on the way though. Mariti's mother has always tirelessly guided and directed her children. Unlike Mr. Don who is just busy working hard and thinking about other side businesses for the survival of his family.
“Pak, wake up!” said mother Mariti.
“Before again” replied Mr. Don.
His voice was weak, he seemed to be having a high fever. The body shivered with coldness, the tone trembled with a glaring gaze looking at his wife.
“Mariti, please bring me a glass of warm water” said Mr. Don.
Ms. Mariti held her forehead feeling very hot and her body cold. He seemed panicked, their money would not be able to make up for the drugs if it had to be checked into the nearest health center. Ms. Mariti hastily took warm water for Mr. Don. He compressed his forehead then shrouded very tightly. When Ms Mariti was about to move from the edge of the wooden mattress, Mr. Don stopped his steps by holding his hand.
“Mariti, briefly” said Mr. Don so softly.
“What's up sir?” ask Bu Mariti while frowning.
“I want to tell you. If I go first, you must take care of our child especially Tolu and still you must be strong no matter what happens” said Mr. Don.
“Father, we will take care of our children to old together.”
Mr. Don's dream
“Dad, help me. Hot!”
In the subconscious, Tolu waved at Mr. Don. He was wearing a very white and clean shirt with a bright light emanating from it. Suddenly Tolu turned his body towards the left side of the road filled with mud and a bunch of terrible figures approaching him. Sir screamed to call him but he kept walking until from above the sky the fire rained down on his body. Mr. Don saw Tolu's body burning like burning coal in a very terrible place. He could not help her because the longer the fire grew and raged scorching his son's body. Since then, Mr. Don has been deeply concerned about the fate of his daughter.
......................
“Mr, I hope you always accompany me” said bu Mariti again.
More and more days, Mr. Don's condition is dying. This morning they all gathered to see him with tears in their eyes.
“Bu, let's take daddy to village hall just” Mardan said as she shook her hand.
“Don't go to the village hall, just to pack we don't have a penny. Moreover, your father must be put on the transport because he can no longer walk” said bu Mariti.
“Mr! hiks” cried Ani moved to embrace her.
Tolu who refused to shed tears, he simply harbored and held back his own resentment by running into the forest. He was very disappointed that he could do nothing to his father. Unknowingly, because of the great distance he ran to the foot of the hill which was located the border between the middle of the forest and the hills In one of the big rocks, he reached the foot of the hill, he saw the shadow of the man in black clothes staring at him with the look of red eyes.
“Hey, are you a ghost? Can you help me?” Tolu.
Undaunted or frightened tone of voice. He straightened his body and walked closer to the big rock.
“You must be struggling with money and a heavy burden of life. Learn my knowledge and you will get everything. Hahah” echoed the male voice screeching the earlobe.
“How do I tell me!” shouting Tolu.
He twisted his gaze, only and the rest of the sound disappeared with the leaves rolling flying. For hours, Tolu had hoped for the mysterious voice to reappear. But he did not meet until evening. Tolu's tummy and thirst made him decide to return home.
...----------------...
“Mother, I'm hungry” said Mardan as he rubbed his stomach.
“Sabar ya” reply mother Mariti.
Tolu and Ani just kept waiting for their mother to peel the corn to be boiled in the furnace they had prepared.
“Patience a little, do you not see mom still cooking?” said Ani.
Today after doing the fasting mutih taught by the mother by drinking a glass of water from mid-night until mid-afternoon. They had endured the hunger for more than three days. On the other hand, because they run out of food so they wait for the picking of corn plants that they can harvest the next day. They fasted on Wednesdays and Thursdays, with the intention of kindness to themselves that had been taught by his mother.
