Night still appears to cover the entire forest, the stars still emit twinkling twinkles, among the bright gray glow of the moon, along with the vibrant light of fireflies flying in tandem.
Now Pramana with his rooted footsteps walked across the leaves falling between the expanse of grass that was watered by the dim light of a torch held by a young man who was participating beside him.
The two slowly stepped their legs towards a [Giant Sequoia Tree] that seemed to sparkle brightly among the skins of the blanket of the night.
An amazingly large tree that looks so shady with millions of leaves that look so amazing. Thousands of fireflies perched and surrounded the stems and leaves, adding to the beauty of the bright sparkle.
Pramana and the young man stopped their footsteps when they arrived at a large gap between the giant tree trunks before them. In the shadow of the crack was bright with light swaying from a fireplace.
Pramana also raised his right hand and slowly knocked the side of the threshold of the tree trunk in front of him, then called out to call the occupant who was inside the giant tree.
“Greetings, O Hyang Jenggala the Forest! Myself is Pramana the Son of Bentala, want to face and talk to you!”
Moments after Pramana called for it, a little girl clad in green clothes in a robe and a small white skirt appeared from inside the crack of the giant tree.
The girl came out while rubbing the side of her eyes accompanied by sleepy air with her. He looked up, trying to look into the eyes of the creature who had called and woke himself up so that he had to move and wake up from eight in the afternoon.
“What's up, Pramana? Have you forgotten that there is a «Fitrah Alam» called ‘nighttime’ where it becomes time for everyone to sleep and rest?”
The girl greeted Pramana with a grumbling tone upset that she had awakened him from his deep sleep.
“Sorry to have interrupted your break, Hyang Jenggala. But the forest is now in a state of emergency, and Mr. Akbar wants to meet and meet you face to face,” sapa Pramana lowered her head while stepping her legs back to show the young man who was beside her.
“Acbar?” ask the little girl while tilting her head not understanding what Pramana is trying to mean. But he was surprised to see a young man carrying a torch in his hand after Pramana pulled back his footsteps.
“At-Atma This Greatness─ Hyang Utama? No, it's not possible... Don't-don't.”.
“As you think, Hyang Jenggala. He is Akbar, the young man who has been addressed by the Main Hyang.”
The girl immediately tried to calm down and improve her sleepy posture and warmly welcomed the arrival of Akbar, the young man who was standing proudly in front of her.
“Pardon my insolence, O Akbar the leader whom we have been waiting for.
I Wanadri si Hyang Jenggala the Forest, welcome and arrange suwun upon your arrival who has fulfilled the call of our ancestors.”
“Greetings, Wanadri. I have come here to ask for your help in supporting the creatures and inhabitants of this forest in the face of the great battle to come,” said the young man gently while slightly lowering his head.
“A-You don't have to beg like that, young man! You are the promised leader for all beings in this world. You only need to give orders for whatever is needed to maintain and repair all the things in this universe.”
The little girl seemed confused by what attitude she had to show the young man in front of her.
“So can you grant the request─ Ah, I mean this command me?” asked the young man again raised his head and then looked back sharply at the iris of the little girl's eyes.
“With all my heart's happiness if I can grant the command you convey with full gentleness and glory, he said,” replied the little girl turned her eyes away from the piercing gaze of the young man then lowered her head to show a guilty hue. “Na-However I should be discouraged from apologizing to you, because maybe I won't be able to give you full help on the orders you gave me.”
“Can you give a reason why you should be discouraged by expressing it?” ask the young man who was now showing a stern cold tone. “Will you continue to let the forest that you should give this «Derma» by abandoning it to destruction and destruction in the turmoil of war?”
The young man continued to stab the little girl with a sharp gaze and a cold cry that he uttered while emitting pressure from «Atma Kebesaran» that even Pramana (who did not participate in this conversation) he could not resist the suppression he gave.
“Sa-I apologize profusely for that. But with this straightness of heart, I really cannot dedicate most of my «Atma» and «Derma» to help these forest-dwelling creatures in the face of the great war they will face.”
Once again, the girl lowered her head deeply to show an apology that seemed so sincere and full of honesty.
“H... It seems that you have conveyed what is true,” said the young man relaxed his gaze and warmed the sentence he made. “Lantas can you reveal the reason behind your answer, Wanadri the Hyang Jenggala?”
“I acknowledge that all this time I have been reluctant to give «Derma» which has been my responsibility for the forest in this land. That's all I base on my concern about the terror of question marks from Si Biang Malapat which may be with his reappearance will be bad for me and all «Ihwal Alam» which is under the auspices «Derma» this myself. Including the peace of the creatures that inhabit this forest.
On the other hand, I have used the remains of the «Atma» I have to withstand the turmoil over the chaos of the Catastrophe Creatures that exist in this region. I have also explained this to Pramana and her sisters, so that we have formed an agreement so that they continue to manage «Ihwal Alam» throughout this region independently as long as I withstand the chaos of the Beings of Catastrophe that threatens peace in this forest.
That's why I won't be able to fully help the war this time around. Because if I relax my guard over the captivity of these Wretched Beings, the whole forest will be tempered even before the war is ended.”
Hearing the explanation, the young man looked at Pramana who was beside him and then answered with a nod telling him that what the little girl had revealed was the truth.
“You don't have to be upset or worried about all that stuff anymore! Under the banner of my glory and great name: Akbar the Savior of the whole universe, all the entities and beings under my protection will I guarantee their happiness and prosperity!
So just take orders from me and help me to realize all those dreams, hopes, and dreams!”
Excited the young man with all his intentions and nobility while presenting his strand of hands to the little girl as a sign of the bond of communion and cooperation.
Looking at the outstretched hand and hearing that charming grand cry, the little girl re-strapped her head together with a twinkle of hope and trust in her eyes.
“I Wanadri the Hyang Jenggala, feel very honored and glad to receive orders and strands of your hands that will restore and carry the banner of glory and glory throughout this timeless universe.”
The little girl answered the young man's pinta by accepting and grasping the fist filled with the weight of hope for future glory.
