PARHTA: The Legend of Neosantower
the Eternal

Wild, Partha's eyes almost jumped when she saw a woman in the form of smoke with long hair and green eyes lit up. He floated before them crying. The sky turned cloudy with the rain.

"Dude... My flower. "he said in between sobs. Dara's heart was racing as the creature slowly stared at her.

Angis is getting louder, the rain is getting heavier with lightning. "This flower is mine! PUSPA ASIH'S!".

Lightning seems to be telling around, until Dhika docked to Partha for fear of being struck. While Dara was on standby with both swords, he knew full well that they were in trouble.

"I, Puspa Asih! I will not forgive you for taking this flower!" he shouted while drawing lightning towards Dara. Immediately Dara jumped to the left side so that he moved away from Partha and Dhika.

"Shyield! " excited Dika to make a protector on Dara. The boy panicked and tried to help even though his magic was not so powerful.

"Son, how's this?" partha asked Uta who was perched on her head.

[[You must pacify Puspa Asih, Sir, the woman was angry that Edelweiss who was the symbol of her love was taken for granted" ]

Partha thought hard, how to calm Puspa Asih who continued to pour his anger on Dara? Why the hell is that how angry he is.

The man continued to think until Dara was struck by lightning and bound by the tendrils owned by Puspa Asih. He also did not want Dara to get hurt and ventured.

"Listen to me, Puspa Asih! Daku and himself accidentally plucked your flowers, we have no intention of evil or even damaging".

Puspa Asih's view turned to Partha. The woman's face was filled with tears between sadness and anger.

"You don't know how I run when he has to go" he said without caring about the rain that continues to rain on them and the lightning that strikes around them. "Only this flower he gave, hyx".

"What's this?" Dara looked confused when she saw the figure in front of her crying softly while looking down. The storm winds began to subside.

Partha sighed as she managed to make Puspa stop attacking. "Pacitate yourself for a moment. I understand your pain" he said and walked closer to Puspa Asih.

The closer they are to each other until they face each other.

Uta clasped tightly onto Partha's hair as Puspa Asih raised her head, herself frightened by the creature's powerful aura.

Dhika and Dara just stayed behind them.

"I've kept my promise by keeping this flower. But Kang Jalu never returned" muttered Puspa Ayu but still can be heard. He covered his face with his hands, not wanting to show his sad face.

"He's your lover?" partha asked carefully then was replied by a nod.

"Yes... Please meet us, then I'll let you go and give you as many flowers as you want".

Hearing Puspa's words made Partha bite her own lips. Should he accept this offer? But even if rejected, Puspa whose level was very high would definitely slaughter them easily.

"WE WILL FOLLOW YOU!" a shrill voice stopped Partha who was thinking. His eyes immediately glared at the source of the voice that was none other than Dara.

Puspa Asih's request became a special quest for them and brought the three covering to the next city, delaying his departure to Padjajaran kingdom.

"You were too rash to accept her request" Partha said as they sat in a small shop selling hodgepodge.

Dara snorted, "Indeed you have another choice? Didn't you?" he said he was indifferent and then ate the dish that had just come. While Dhika does not intend to interfere and only eat while stroking Uta's fur.

"Then how do you find that Jalu? It's possible that he's married or even dead" Partha said coldly.

"Too?" parrot the hodge-podge merchant who secretly listened to them. "Are you looking for someone named Jalu?"

Partha and Dara were so willing that the merchant asked. The two looked at each other but cast a glance at the middle-aged man who was refining the peanut seasoning.

"We want to meet him with Puspa Asih. Do you know him?" Dara asked enthusiastically.

"Oh no... When their parents did not approve of them, the gods cursed them. Even if Jalu is a powerful person but he is helpless" said the man seolsh knowing the story between Puspa and Jalu.

Dika is starting to get interested in this conversation. He immediately swallowed his food and asked, "What curse?".

"His curse is more influential on Puspa Asih, it is said that he will lose his form if forced together with Jalu".

Damn, unknowingly Partha patted her head when she heard the curse word. He was not sure if he could bring the two men together.

"But if you want to see Jalu, he lives at the end of the marriage. Usually he meditated in the river near his shack".

***

After getting a statement from the seller of hodgepodge, the three rushed to visit Jalu's house according to the directions mentioned.

By crossing the vast expanse of rice fields, finally there is also an old hut that has a gloomy air.

"Excuse me" exclaimed Partha from the front door of the hut.

Soon a young man appeared from inside. Is he Jalu's son?

Partha looked at the man from top to bottom until her gaze stopped on the red spot on the man's arm. His eyes almost popped out of disbelief.

"You-you-"
