SECRET MAURA
Season 2: (PNS) Meera Rescue

"Catch this!" shouted Goddess Srikandi, she threw one side of her shawl at the commander of Arialoka.

Hup!

With one throw the commander managed to grab the shawl, and wrapped it around the dragon's neck, while Goddess Srikandi tied her other shawl to the dragon's feet.

"I have to what?!" ardian shouted, he was overwhelmed as he distracted the dragon.

"You hold your tail, don't move! Otherwise we will die by the wagging of his tail!" sahut the commander of Arialoka.

Half the forest in the underground was destroyed in the fire by the dragon, they were still fighting against the dragon and suddenly..

Crieg!!

The commander of Arialoka drew out his sword, the heirloom sword a gift from the emperor Balaputradewa devoted to him. He raised his sword high and prepared to slash the dragon's neck.

"Wait!!" there was a loud noise up there.

A goddess came from above the sky, she wore all-green clothes including her crown made from the roots and leaves of a tree, she was like a plant goddess by looking at her clothes.

"Don't kill her, please." the goddess made it clear to them.

"Who are you?! Why can't we kill him after he attacks us first?!" ask the commander of Arialoka curious.

"First, his name is Nage Ulae. He's the guardian of this country, he'll defend this place from strangers like you. And sorry if he attacked without asking first.

Because it is his instinct, because he is not a soul-like being like us, he is a being with a pure soul, his heart and mind are only one, protecting this place from strangers" said the goddess while releasing the bond and winding the scarf of Goddess Srikandi in the body of the dragon.

And strangely enough, the dragon snake was instantly silent and docile at the presence of the goddess. It was as if the goddess was his master.

"Who are you, Goddess? You're not an ordinary genie?" ask Dewi Srikandi with self-awareness.

Because this dragon snake was so obedient to him, it could be that he had incredible strength and if he wanted to he could just attack them.

"We have met before." said the goddess with a smile.

"You.." Ardian is still guessing.

"My name is Dewi Arum Anjani.. The usual other creatures call the tree fairies" said the goddess.

"What?! So you were that tiny creature, but weren't there just that many?" Ardian was still confused by all that.

"I broke myself into hundreds or even thousands of little fairies, to protect this forest, whether it was the land of the forest above the clouds, or the land of the underground forest.

And Nage Ulae I sent to guard this underground door from strangers of ill will, it looks like he just detected you the wrong way, how can not a human ally with two jinn." said Dewi Arum Anjani.

"Is it related to what the creature said?" ask the commander of Arialoka.

"You mean the commander of Adyadharma? Of course he knows everything, he is the guardian of the country above, while Nage Ulae is the guardian of the underworld" said the Goddess.

"W-what?! Commander Adyadharma? The youngest son of the white Brahmin? His brother is commander Adyaseka?!" ask the commander Arialoka in disbelief.

"Yes, you're right." said the Goddess with a smile.

"But, why.." neither the commander of Arialoka nor Goddess Srikandi still believe in all that.

"We never know what happened during these thousands of years, so many mysteries are stored, and we have to solve them one by one" muttered Dewi Srikandi.

"It looks like your journey in this world is still long, hem.. You better hurry if you don't want to be late" said Dewi Arum Anjani.

"Yes, we have to find Meera!" ardian.

They left the place after their energy was almost drained when fighting Nage Ulae, fortunately Goddess Arum Anjani quickly came, otherwise they would make a mistake again.

"To-please.." there was a cry for help from a building made of stone behind the forest.

They saw an old hut, rather a house made of mounds of stone, very fragile and dangerous, if not careful the building will collapse and can endanger anyone who is there.

"Meera?!" call Ardian.

"Dian's? The ardian?!" sahut Meera doesn't believe it.

"Are you inside?!" ask Ardian again.

"Yes! Help me, get me out of here!" meera shouted while crying.

"Calm down, me and the others will come in to save you" Ardian said.

After that with a single blow the building collapsed instantly, they saw Meera tied up with chains all over her body, and hung up like an upside down overtake.

They tried every means to release the girl from the chain bond, but to no avail. Commander Arialoka tried several times to cut the chain with his sword, but succeeded.

Likewise with Goddess Srikandi, she also how many times wrapped her shawl but still lacking energy, until finally Ardian recited some verses and prayers, the chain began to sag and release Meera from her bond.

"Ardians.." Meera immediately hugged Ardian and was very grateful, for being saved by him.

"Let go, Meera! I'm not alone here.. And stop acting like that to me!" said Ardian coldly.

"Whatchu mean? Why are you so different from usual?" meera asked looking at Ardian confusedly.

"I've been warning you repeatedly, but you've never paid any heed to it. I already have a lover, and stop acting that way and don't make a mistake again, if you don't want to regret" Ardian said coldly.

"No, you were only with me all this time, why did we suddenly step away, did you hate me because of her?!" show Meera to Goddess Srikandi.

He had mistakenly thought that the Goddess was Maura, because they had such a thick resemblance.

"Hufft, it's not like that. I did have a lover before I knew you, and it had nothing to do with anyone, don't make it up!" snapped Ardian pissed.

"Because of this you are the target of the jinn and other demons, because of your greedy attitude, not only want to be close, you even want her too" said Dewi Srikandi.

"What's wrong with liking someone?!" meera asked, not accepting.

"It's not wrong to like someone, the wrong way. If the person you like doesn't like you, don't force him to like you either" Commander Arialoka said.

"A-Ardian, you-you?!" Meera was puzzled to see that there were two people who had the same face.

"He's my friend, you just look at his face without seeing anything else, our faces are similar but our looks are different!" sahut Ardian's.

"Here you go, I don't want to argue with you! We have to get out of here, I don't know how long we've been here. And I miss Maura, she must be tired of waiting a long time" Ardian said again.

"But, hufft.. All right, I understand" Meera said softly as she lowered her sad face.

Dewi Srikandi directly clamp Meera's arm and they all leave the place to the land in the forest above the clouds.

And there was Dewi Arum Anjani waiting for them, she smiled welcoming them, after they met suddenly the body of the Goddess melted into hundreds of small fairies.

"Thank God you guys managed to save her, it seems like I have to strengthen again the security of both countries in this dimension. And queen Jin Sikumbang is now dealing with me now.

How dare he commit a crime in the human world, he has committed a mistake, violated the rules of this land. Alright, I will also go pick her up" said the little elf from the incarnation of Dewi Arum Anjani.

"Wait, where should we find Maura?" ask Ardian to worry.

"Find him at the end of this forest, you will find an inscription monument in front of the stone cave. You can call her with the stone you gave her" said the fairy.

"Yes, you're right. Well thank you for your help, Dewi" said Dewi Srikandi as well.

They left the place and headed for the forest that had its inscription, and sure enough there was a stone cave that looked dark and cold. Who knew that in that cave there was another world that was so peaceful and majestic.

"Maura, gohome.. We've been waiting for you here, the mission succeeded. Let's go home." said Dewi Srikandi via telepathy to Maura.

.

.

Elsewhere, at the place where the commander of Adyadharma Maura was enjoying the beautiful scenery in the palace, his heart was suddenly moved to leave from there, his premonition said if he had to return.

"I have to go home, Adyadharma! Looks like they're back." said Maura.

"Well, if that's what you want. I'll take you there.. But before that, you don't say anything about me to them. And, accept this." said the commander of Adyadharma while giving something in the hands of Maura.

"What is this?!" asked Maura astonished.

"This hairpin princess Dadar moon aka Dewi Srikandi, during the battle at that time I accidentally found her hairpin was fined at that time before I died in Kamaru's hands.

Like a sacred object, this pinch also has a little soul energy of Goddess Srikandi left behind. Bring it and wear it, it will also be able to protect and take care of you, just like the necklace" said commander Adyadharma.

Maura just kept quiet and nodded, then they left the palace of the commander of Adyadharma, climbed onto the horse again and headed for the stone cave to get out of the place.

Throughout the journey Maura was still confused by all this, she was never exhausted with all the events that had happened to her all this time.

Who knew he would be stuck with a life like this, initially only curious about the true events of the mystery of the death of the mother, instead he was faced with a very surprising reality of life.
