Pandeka the Sword of the Crescent Moon
Chapt. 4. Start a Journey in the Persilatan Forest

"Mandaga.." The heavy voice of the light-lined figure spoke to Mandaga. The handsome young man looked towards the figure covered by light, nodded and spread out the prayer. No sound came out of Mandaga's mouth.

"You are the incarnation of Mahadeva Shiva, born from the womb of a holy woman from the land of Malay. Your mother died after giving birth to you." Mandaga silently listened solemnly. Only his eyes were rubbed against clear glass. The young man lowered his head, silently listening.

"The Jadewa of Shiva has raised the mother's soul to the palace of the heavens. As for you since the womb, you have assumed a noble duty in this Malay land." Mandaga raised his head to stare at the figure that still remained covered in dazzling light.

"May I know who you are, Messenger of Mahadeva ? If one day I want to see you again, how can I contact you ?" Mandaga asked seriously. The light shone for a moment. Sounded a little different.

"I am Parameswara. If you ever feel like you really want to see me. Shaking the will of your soul will call upon me by itself. Mandaga nodded his head even though he didn't quite understand what the figure of light was saying.

"What is the duty given to me ?" Mandaga asked the figure of light.

"The voice of your heart will guide you in your steps to discover what is your duty. I have no right to explain the secrets of the heavens to you." The light was silent for a moment. Mandaga and Datuk Aluih Tapa involuntarily similarly let out a long sigh.

"This place has been guarded and cared for by three Bunian people. Now this place I leave to you. Take good care of this place. You Aluih Tapa find some that will help you take care of this place." Datuk Aluih Tapa nodded.

"Last, for you Mandaga. Accept this." A ring floated towards Mandaga, then attached and circled the index finger of her right hand. Once attached the ring turns into a tattoo ring.

"That's the ring of the universe, you can keep your stuff there. The ring can also hold living things inside. Just drain a little of your inner power, then you'll be able to store and retrieve the things you want in the universe ring." Mandaga tried what the layered figure said. He stored his Crescent Sword into the universe ring.

"This is the last" the light-lined figure said again and from the direction of the layered figure of light, a golden light appeared and enveloped Mandaga's body. After some time, the light seeped into Mandaga's body.

Mandaga felt the power of his inner strength and his inner strength doubled. The young man also felt that he had suddenly mastered a science that was a great blend of inner energy and inner energy. Titiak came from aiah mambusek from the earth.

That light-lined figure slowly disappeared. Remain the fragrance of Kenanga flowers. Silent. The room suddenly felt very quiet, silent and mute.

Kkrrk... krruurrk....!!

Suddenly there was a crunching sound from Mandaga's stomach. Datuk Aluih Tapa regained consciousness from his silence. He smiled wily. He remembered there was a comb of golden mamban bananas and some other fruit flattened.

Datuk Aluih Tapa shifted and sat back down on the middle of the ledge.

"Mandagas... Let's eat these fruits first as a booster." Mandaga looked at Datuk Aluih Tapa and smiled slightly embarrassedly.

"Until I somewhat forget I'm angguik. Still half-convinced half-doubtful about all this." Mandaga looked and inched towards Datuk Aluih Tapa. The dashing young man grabbed a banana and devoured it deliciously.

While eating the fruits, Mandaga peeked at the contents of the universe gift ring given by Parameswara. His eyes were wide open looking at all the contents of the universe's ring. Hundreds of thousands, there might even be millions of pieces of gold and silver in two huge mounds. There were also clothes, books, weapons and fruits that Mandaga had never seen. Datuk Aluih Tapa smiled wily looking at Mandaga's attitude.

After eating Datuk Aluih Tapa invites Mandaga to see what is in the plains below Sabik Canyon. They began to observe from home. They were there.

The wooden house had four large rooms and there was a family room and a large ledge. At the back are three rooms. Behind the house there is also a building for the warehouse and kitchen. In addition to the warehouse and the back of the available land suitable for vegetable gardens. There is still a large enough land stretching from the back of the warehouse to the foot of the canyon. From the front of the house there is a large field bounded by the Batang Sianok river. Batang Sianok River is about three meters below the field. So there are cliffs and stone stairs arranged to go down to the river. The edge of the cliff grows various fruit trees and also Munggai trees.

"Angguik... Where can we get people working here ?" Datuk Aluih Tapa smiled at Mandaga's question. Of course it was very easy for him.

They lived in Sabik Canyon for a month. They already have four people consisting of Mak Malin and his wife Tek Heresy. There is also Bujang and Buyuang. Their work was all arranged by Datuk Aluih Tapa.

That afternoon at the beginning of the season Sisiria Mandaga crossed calmly in front of Datuk Aluih Tapa. The dashing young man sighed before starting to speak.

"Angguic,... Tomorrow morning I'll go. Hm. I mean Daga, tomorrow I'll start entering the green jungle of the martial world."

Datuk Aluih Tapa looked long and deep at the disciple who had also been raised as his grandson. It is time for Mandaga to enter the green jungle of the martial world. At present it seems that there are no more warriors in Dharmasraya and perhaps in Srivijaya who are able to compensate Mandaga.

"Alright Daga. It is time for you to enter the real world. Angguik just leave a few points to you.

Remember and apply hereang jo gendeang, raso jo pareso. Dimano should mamakai kato mandaki, kato mandata, kato malereang and kato manurun.

Remember always remember with the earth in place where langik is visited."

Mandaga nodded ta'zim hearing the advice of Datuk Aluih Tapa. He was well aware of what Datuk Aluih Tapa was reminded of.

The night Mandaga did not sleep, he did a meditation to organize all the feelings in the silence of the soul. The young man dissolved in silence. He looked inside himself and retraced the power of his inner strength and inner strength.

So cool Mandaga dissolved in all. The loud and long crow of the rooster of the forest resuscitated it. Mandaga hastily bathed in Batang Sianok. Water Rod Sianok cold like ice feels comfortable seep in the skin.

Mandaga standing in front of the house. She was wearing blue clothes with a belt of red cloth. His long shoulder-length hair was tied to a ponytail and left to be severed. Unlike the headband style of Malays in general. Mandaga looks more handsome and handsome.

After praying to Datuk Aluih Tapa, Mandaga turned around and ran in the air with the science of easing the body running in the wind, as if Mandaga flying towards the top of the Kerbouwengat gorge. In a short time, the distance between his house was legged by Sabik Canyon with the top of the Kerbouwengat cliff which was more than three kilometers passed. Mandaga stopped at the edge of Kerbouwengat ravine, trying to look towards his house. He was fascinated to see the natural scenery that was plastered in front of his eyes.

Suddenly a sense of longing resonated in his heart. Mandaga let out a deep sigh, slowly he turned around and bouncy disappeared.
