Song of Earth Wengker
Padepokan Pedestal 1

Pengalin Alas, is called so because in the forest it is filled with the plant. On the pedestal there are indeed many clumps of penjalin, clumps of bamboo and wood jungle with large size. Nyi Selayar and his son along the bank of a small river. From the river that will be able to reach a cave used by Ki Penjalin silent

Ki Pengalin is not a person who closes himself. In his youth he was a mighty Satriya, chose a match and mastered various sciences of power. Then he was highly respected by his opponent. I don't know why he chose to live in a place far from the crowd.

Young Ki Penjalin named Prakosa. Because of his great inner strength and unrivalled fighting ability he is called the Prakosa Horse. Kuda Prakosa is a disciple of Ki Gedhe Kemlaka who became a figure from the White faction. Ki Kemlaka then retreated from the martial world after his knowledge was given to the son of his student's son. He underwent a hermitage on Mount Wilis.

Not felt the journey of mother and child has arrived in front of Goa which is used as a place to live from Ki Penjalin. When Nyi Selasih looked right and left to confirm the existence of Goa, suddenly a soft but echo-like voice sounded.

"Enter Nyi Selayar and Sulasna. I've been waiting for you!" The sound came from inside the cave.

Nyi Selayar was very memorized that it was the voice of Ki Penjalin. So Nyi Selayar dressed in all blue was without hesitation to invite his son into the hall of Gowa.

"Gowa this is very strange," inner Sulasna.

How not strange because in the front of the cave hall looks small but getting deeper and wider. While on the walls of Gowa there are stone stones that can glow in the dark.

In the large room there are three stones. Two longitudinal stones are two pecs of adult feet wide and range in length by two steps. While the one in use sits Ki Penjalin somewhat apart, with the length and width of the same size.

"Welcome Nyi Selayar and her son, may be prosperous," said Ki Penjalin without looking at the new ones coming.

"Congratulations and longevity Ki Penjalin," replied Nyi Selayar and Sulasna together.

Ki Pengalin stood up, then headed to his newly arrived guest. He allowed Nyi Selayar and Sulasna to sit occupying a square stone while he arranged a sitting position opposite to the other square stone.

"Her partner Sulasna told me about my meeting with him to you and to Ki Pasinggahan," said Ki Penjalin started the conversation.

Sulasna. Ki Penjalin laughed wide. Just like when Sulasna met the first time. What distinguishes is now the hair of Ki Penjalin in let unravel.

"There's nothing Ki Pengalin met my son without a message. This was the first time that prompted me and Father Pasinggahan to meet Aki Pengalin. Could there be a story about the existence of Nyi Pandan Wangi?" ask Nyi Selayar.

Ki Penjalin laughed wide. It seems like this old man has never been difficult.

"I've been telling you about it since a long time ago. Don't think about Pandan Wangi. Because Pandan Fragrance, always in a safe and long life. He has chosen his way in the cave of Toya Marta. I have long loved him. And apparently he wants to end his old age in the cave. But I'm sure if anyone threatens us, he will meet us" said Ki Pengjalin.

"Yes, Ki. Then what did Ki Penjalin come to the Pandan forest to see my son?"

"Haha.haha... Nyi Selayar, the Black Swordsman under the command of Nyi Selasih again made a troublemaker. He massacred the people around Plangka Sari Village" said Ki Penjalin.

"Nyi Selasih do it again?!" Nyi Selayar was surprised by the words of Ki Penjalin.

"Is Prabu Harjuna allied with Nyi Selasih?" ask Nyi Selayar.

Seems not. But Prabu Harjuna's Mataram Spear is gone. Where not. Alleged Spear Pasih is in the Hermit Plangka Sari. While Empu Plangka Sari has long gone from Ekapan. Or move where no one knows" insisted Ki Pengalin.

"Why is Nyi Selasih, the Spear of Mataram in Plangka Sari?"

"Prangka Sari is Empu Mataram," explained Ki Penjalin.

Empu Plangkasari is an Empu from the Mataram Kingdom. Mataram was under the rule of Prabu Harjuna. He was tasked with forging heirlooms and also caring for Mataram's damaged heirlooms. It is called Empu Plangka Sari, because Empu Mataram was from the Plangka Sari area.

Ki Pendalin looked at Sulasna. Then he looked at his Simbok face, Nyi Selayar. In his heart, Ki Penjalin wished that Sulasna could move to quell the black people who use less good ways in smoothing his intentions.

"Nyi Selayar, look your son has become a handsome virgin. In a way he certainly inherited greatness from your husband, who is called the Twin Stick Swordsman," said Ki Penjalin opening a conversation about Sulasna.

Nyi Selayar was silent. His mind wandered far ahead. She remembered her husband Ki Papak Paringan who was killed by Lowo Abang. She remembered the revenge of Lowo Abang so that it took the life of her husband in a devious way. Seeing her two husbands killed by Lowo Abang, she had wanted to withdraw from the martial world. And don't want his son involved in the martial world.

"Sail, Hahaha, haha, the old me understands your feelings and thoughts. But do not link death to not being filial to the state. Death is the desire of the Almighty. For the love of the Almighty is in His heart. The Almighty determines when love is bestowed on the kawula" explained Ki Penjalin.

Nyi Selayar was silent, he was downcast to hear the advice of his brother-in-law from his first teacher.

"I've been told a long time by Ki Pasinggahan that question. You kept your teacher's dress, Nyi Pandan Sari. You let go after the death of your second husband. But I need a good time to restore all your short-sighted souls. So I beg time for old Grandpa Pasinggahan to meet you," said Ki Penjalin.

Nyi Selayar shed her tears. He actually still wants to return to filial piety. Yet.....

"Nyi Selayar, I wish you and your son would stay here for some time. We are re-processing the power we have long stored. We want your son to be a tough person, to devote his life to kindness" said Ki Penjalin.

Nyi Selayar was either conscious or hesitant, but he nodded his head.

"Sulasna, tomorrow you train to unify the power of nature and the power of body power," said Ki Interlace.

"Okay Teacher, I'm ready!' sulasna.
