SELAQ
Episode "Secret Palace Behind Mega" (53)
***
“Am I dead?”
As the eyes looked, Blokpentes only saw endless darkness. Dark and thick. His body was limping trying to get up from where he lay. While on duty got up, he felt his entire body ache and crumble. Like being hit by a stone sack!
I don't know how long he's been unconscious in that place. Memory of the last time when his body floated down from the cliff. Then it fell into the branches and branches of wood. After crashing hard on the ground, his body was once again rolled around. That was when his consciousness disappeared and did not know what happened next.
Suddenly, he was in that cold, dark room.
His hands fumbled and found a wet wall. Her ears caught the sound of water. Rhythmic and constant. Blokpentes attempt to approach the direction of sound. But the echo on the wall made it difficult to find the right direction.
“It's like a labyrinth,” its village.
He felt he had come out of one room. Then go back into the other room. So repeatedly. Swirling.
“Am I blind?”
His hand touched his two eyes. And feel the pain around the temple. Then repeatedly blinked his eyes. But the darkness did not disappear from his eye sockets.
“Quiet, quiet Blokpentes. Everything will be fine, don't panic. Panic is the number one killer,” his mess.
After taking a breath, he sat down cross-legged. Calms mind.
It took some time to make his heart beat more calm.
"Mrc ..."
Blokpentes took a sip of his index finger, then took it out and began to look for the direction of the wind.
“Ke here,” murmured.
He followed the side that felt cooler. After circling around, going in and out of the room for so long, he saw a beam of light at the end of the hallway.
Fast pace hunting light. The longer, the brighter. And Blokpentes arrived at an opening as big as an index finger.
"Here is the source of the light" he said, noting the hole in the rocky wall.
From the crack, Blokpentes peered inside. He looked inwardly and could hardly believe what he saw.
“What is this place?”
For a moment his eyes were amazed at what he saw. A large and majestic building was seen behind a small hole. The giant and towering pillars lined up neatly resemble guard soldiers. On each pillar stick oil lamps whose fire is protected by crystal glass.
At the end of the pillar, Greek-style Roman Corinthian carvings adorn. Then in the Frieze section or on it again, etched the pattern of the picture box combined with a spiral shape.
No less mysterious in the part of the building called Tympanum. its position above Frieze. There is a engraving of humans talking, worshiping, to become slaves of animal-headed creatures.
Turning to the side of the ceiling, golden yellow color dominates. While in the middle of the ceiling cone resembles a dome. With terrible images: creatures of fire and flaming!
Turning to the wall, the large windows lined up as tall as three adult human bodies. Complete with intricate and layered Rocaille-style carving ornaments. Then rows of books are arranged in a magnificent shelf.
“Is this heaven and am I really dead?” muttered Blokpentes still could not believe the building he saw.
Hanging crystal lamps, statues resembling dragons and goddesses on each side of the window, to magnificent chairs with intricate and detailed sculptures, bewitched him for a while.
“Bolo should see this,” down.
While Blokpentes was still amazed by the magnificent building, he heard the footsteps of several people approaching. The longer the closer. And a moment later, the large door at the end of the room opened. And it appeared that three mysterious figures entered the magnificent room.
They sat in rows in a large chair in the middle of the room. The three then engaged in secret conversation.
“This will be an exciting new vision,”
“Try saying what was your idea?”
“Business with Tarumbie,”
“We have mastered this valley, why keep the poisonous snake again?”
“But,”
The answer of the figure sitting in the middle, made the other two men turn towards him.
“Isn't this valley we've mastered?"
“We have not mastered the Nation of Jin,” he said.
“You intend to conquer the Jin nation in this valley?”
The figure sitting in the middle nodded slowly. His face implied a sly ploy. The other two were silent for a moment. A face covered in thick powder could not cover the tension of the two.
“Those fire creatures don't need our stuff, they live in different realms,”
“Make what?”
“Mastered the world,”
“Sound ambitious. But to be honest, it's a tempting idea,”
“Goddess Anjani will not remain silent if she knows this idea, this palace will be torn down in an instant,”
“Because of that, he can't know,”
“How?”
The man sitting in the middle did not answer. He smiled at the two friends who were looking at him seriously.
“Consider that this valley is inhabited by three nations. The Human Nation, the Selaq Nation, and the Jin Nation. The strategy is that we side with the Selaq Nation, and then we defeat the Human Nation and the Jin Nation,”
“You believe Tarumbie and his comrades can defeat the Jin nation?”
“History proves, Daranjani once defeated and expelled the Jinns in this valley. And now the Selaq people who are the inheritors of science and followers of Daranjani has grown a lot. Then what makes us doubt they won't be able to defeat the Jin people once again?"
The other two figures nodded. In their minds a terrible war will repeat itself in the valley. War between two worlds: the Selaq against the Jin.
“But before the war between the Selaq Nation against the Jin Nation takes place, we must make the Selaq Nation win against the Human Nation. All we need to do is support them build the kingdom, hegemony, and teachings of Selaq,” said the figure in the middle with sparkling eyes.
“Then we how, are we not also a nation of Man?” ask the figure on his left.
“Quiet, we are demons,” replied the figure in the middle.
The laughter of the three figures exploded. His voice echoed in the corners of the building. Every object in the room bears witness to their grand plan of the three nations that inhabit the Rinjani valley.
But then, the figure on the left first ended the laughter. His face changed drastically. It interrupts with interrupted sentences, “But ..”
“But what?”
“If we are demons, our father and mother are also demons, then are we also from the nation of demons?”
“Oh, my foolish and innocent sister. Satan is not a nation. Satan is nature. The devil is in the people and the jinn. Greedy, greedy, arrogant, it is a demon,”
“Do we demons mean we are evil?” ask the mysterious figure on the left again. It has a childish temperament. His face was sad and at once was also crying bitterly.
“I don't want to be a bad brother,” he said sobbing.
The figure in the middle panicked to see his sister crying. He immediately embraced and calmed her down.
“Forget about good and evil, it's just a joke of a lowly caste man who has no ability to face the harshness of the world. We are chosen people with high ambitions and passions. Humans call us greedy, greedy, and arrogant just because they are not capable like us,” said the brother while hugging his sister who sobbed.
Blokpentes who heard the conversation of the three mysterious figures behind the small hole shuddered. He was surprised to hear how they defined the value of good and evil.
“The world is in danger, if people like them are rulers,” says Blokpentes.
