Pranacitra looked around once more to make sure it was safe. Along with the roll of white cloth letters opened, the warm morning sun also shone from the eastern horizon through the leaves. the atmosphere of dawn that began to change brightly seemed to welcome the arrival of new life.
Although it has silat and magic are counted very high, but somehow Pranacitra felt his soul tremble when he was about to read the contents of the letter in a white cloth that looks yellowish as if he had a hunch that the contents might be related to him.
The writing on the old white sheet smelled musty, a little weathered and hollow in parts. There it was written., ''Actually I am not sure whether to tell all this or even bury everything. my name is Sentanu, has a younger sister named Sintani. Most of our lives both lived as slaves in the kitchen of the party 'Devil Gate..''
When reading the beginning of this writing Pranacitra was surprised to see the name Sentanu which was none other than his late father turned out to be a former member of the Gapura Devil party. more surprised when he found out that apparently the father had a sister named Sintani.
''It is fitting that there is a Devil Arch flag inside this teak wooden box. Apparently this damn thing belongs to my father.'' Pranacitra's inner tense. but after reading the next line of writing he became even more confused. ''As the strongest and most secret black party, the Gapura Devil party has many sections and an uncountable number of members. even since we escaped from there until this letter I wrote with my wife's blood before she died, I also do not know where the secret headquarters of the martial party is..''
''I will abbreviate everything. At that time in the party Gapura Devil is a power struggle between the prospective heirs of the old chairman who died. they are four twin brothers consisting of three men and the youngest one a woman..''
''Although they were siblings but between the four sons of the great master as if never getting along and suspicious of each other, especially the young master of the first and second twins. while the third young master and the youngest princess are only trying to survive in the evil environment of demons full of deception and cruelty..''
''The two of us sisters were highly valued by the great master of the party leader when he was alive and the first young master, because of the taste of our cuisine which was considered very good. I need to write here almost all members of the slave Gapura Devil were once abandoned children without relatives taken from the streets including the two of us..''
Pranacitra continued to read the writing in the fabric.there is also a short history of the life of the origin of Sentanu and Sintani before they were taken by the party Gapura Devil. apparently their family used to be one of the cooks in the royal palace.
''The culmination of the feud between the four twin brothers occurred when the great lord of the Gapura Devil who was at once their father died.It was as if the first and second twins had been outlined who finally clashed with souls. despite losing the science of magic compared to the eldest brother, but the second twin has a ruse and a stronger supporter.in short the oldest twin died in the hands of his sister..''
''The slaughter of his rivals did not stop at the support of his brother alone, his two younger siblings were also forced to submit. it's still a good thing the two of us who were in the kitchen had planned to escape by utilizing the chaos that occurred. through a secret hole near the sewer behind the kitchen, Sintani and I and the three brothers and the sibungsu managed to escape after we previously made a big fire in the kitchen..''
''A month before the two twin brothers had kissed her and tried to prepare them for the escape.Since the two had always been kind to us, so the secret hole back in the kitchen I told them too. actually the hole was not made by us but made by the brother of the great lord's cousin who fled because of a mistake. it just so happened that this person used to pick us both up..''
''For the first time the four of us went through a dark and unknown underground passage to where we might have walked down and crawled for almost half a day. when the road began to rise we finally came out of the hole.really we did not imagine that the day was near night and where we were at that time was a very dense wilderness..''
''Although very tired, thirsty, hungry and do not know the direction of the destination but we still walked through the greatness of the forest.when the day had changed it was then that we could get out of the forest. one oddity I felt because during the forest there was not a single wild animal that we met, as if the forest was separated from anything..''
''At first the four of us lived alone together on the slopes of a small hill we met on our escape week. because of getting used to hanging out together also felt the fate of our relationship was getting closer.the young master of the third twin had long put his heart on Sintani. after asking my permission both of them married..''
''After seven years, my wife became pregnant and gave birth to a baby boy whom we later named Pranacitra. Only unfortunately, when we became pregnant, our traces were smelled by members of the Devil's Gate. there was a fierce fight between the four of us and those bastards..''
''Even though the four of us were able to escape and kill all of them but we were also injured in and poisoned. That is why our son Pranacitra was born weak and sick. The most terrible thing is the young master of the third twin, who was born weak and sickly, not only did he lose all of his profound strength due to the ferocious poison that attacked him, it was almost paralyzed as well..''
''Very lucky when the death of the four of us was in front of our eyes, appeared a pale-faced old man cold creepy who helped us. with his left hand he savagely slaughtered dozens of strong fighters from the Demon Gate..''
''Seems like the old man had a grudge against the black party.The whole victim died with his heart snatched by the claw of a greenish knife stuck in his left hand. after everything was over then I remembered that he was no other than the cousin of the great lord of the party who fled through the secret passage in the kitchen, as well as the person who had brought us in childhood.just the difference., his hand was still complete..''
Until reading the writing of this part, Pranacitra only knew about all of his identity, despite regret, anger and disbelief, though he knew nothing about himself, but he still had to accept the fact that in his blood flowed the descendants of the ruler of the Gapura Devil party.!'
By holding back the turmoil of his soul which was hit by the anger of this crippled young man again continued reading the secret will. ''During the escape, Sintani accidentally helped an old grandmother who was seriously injured after being injured by an enemy. felt dead, the grandmother also bequeathed a number of books of silat and disguise mixed with witchcraft..''
''After learning that Sintani not only has great silat, even by using the bodies of the members of the Demon Archway who died in the fight he was able to make a fake death of the four of us. unfortunately, the science that my sister learned also had a bad influence on the shape of her face and her temper..''
''Because she wanted to heal herself, Sintani and her husband left us. This is also so as to mess with the tracks of the hunters. it was the saddest day for me to have parted with my only brother and sister-in-law, and I was left behind by my wife forever after she died giving birth to her son. as I recall at that time Pranacitra had just stepped on three years..''
''The skull-roofed silver chain bracelet belongs to my wife.my brother-in-law also has it. That is why it is the identification of the blood owners of the heirs of the Gapura Devil party. after the separation we never met again, but when separated I knew my sister Sintani was pregnant young..''
Pranacitra pensive for quite a long time.The young man's mind was confused like a tangled thread due to secret letters that he never thought contained.he slowly took a silver chain bracelet bobbed head small skull. whether when or where, he felt like he had seen something like this before.
