Swordsman Without Friends
Wrong people, wrong target.
Night has fallen in place of dusk, as the rain has stopped.The night sky looks bright full of stars.not the least there is a remnant of visible clouds, as if heavy rain never fell last dusk. under the light of the moonlight and the stars that sprinkled the sky, a seventeen-year-old man was sitting crouching under a big tree.how many times this young man tried to make a fireplace to warm his body, at the same time drying clothes and all supplies wet by rain water.
''Aah finally lit up also the fire.'' murmured the young man who was indeed Pranacitra. twigs and leaves that were wet with rain water made it difficult for the young man to burn it.
Luckily he now has a stock of deep energy science. With the heat created by the flow of magic energy in his palm, he was able to make twigs and leaves that had been wet can dry faster. when he once again struck two stones in his calluses, from the impact was created sparks that continued to burn wood branches in the fireplace.
Slightly blowing air from his mouth, making the fireplace becomes bigger.by using clasps from Pranacitra wood stems began to heat the package containing sticky coconut and banana boiled wet. because of the agonizing cold and hunger, without waiting for long he began to eat everything even though the coconut sticky rice had become stale due to the rain.
But who cares., when human hunger can swallow anything in front of it, even if it has become a piece of garbage. whereas at other times humans also often waste food only because of taste problems that are not in accordance with the wishes of his heart.
When the wheel of human life is above, the gratitude of the blessings of the Creator of heaven and earth is often forgotten, but otherwise in time it has fallen in the lowest place, the, only then do humans realize and regret it.
That night was bright full of stars. a long strip of light from the shooting star was seen in the western sky.Srianah used to tell him ''If you see the starlight falling in the sky, you see the starlight falling in the sky, hurry up and make a wish, said the petitioner will be granted.!''
At that time they were both sleeping on a grassland with a butut mat while looking at the stars and the moon in the night sky. at that time he just laughed while rubbing the hair of the girl who considered funny because he believed in superstition.
But now he just wants it all to come true.Unconsciously Pranacitra knelt down and looked up, If I may beg, please let me live longer, o Lord of the heavens and the earth.!''
''Please give me a hint that I can heal all the diseases that are in my body.Is, my request is too difficult for you, Creator of the universe.? said Pranacitra sanbil stretch his hands up. ''Well, it is I who am unworthy to expect your help.?'' his whisper bowed and then prostrated.
''Are you one of the most stupid human traits in the world.? the most stupid person is the one who always feels himself the smartest, the most powerful, and unrivalled in this world..''
''Because he is truly as great as man, he is but a clot of flesh and blood that cannot escape death.born, grown, aged and finally dead. it had already become a chain of human life lines.!''
''Then do you know the characteristics of cowardly humans.? coward is a person who always runs away from responsibility.Templars and cowards who always give up losing before trying to fight with all their strength..''
That was the advice of his teacher Ki Rangga Wesi Bledek aka the Iron Thunder Hand. ''I will never give up. Until I am at the end of my age I will still step forward.!'' his determination was round.His heart became calm.along with the fireplace dimmed.the young man also fell asleep.
A young man dressed in shabbily walked down the street on the edge of a forest. If he noticed his steps look heavy and stiff, the right foot stepped the left dragged following to the front. his limp and injured left leg seemed to carry a very heavy burden of life.although the limp's footsteps looked slow and laughable like a creeping worm, but every step was filled with a radiance of heart.
Although only a pedukan, but the Riding place is very crowded because of the border area of the duchy of Wonokerto. people began to go in and out of the Rump to buy supplies. some of the duchy's soldiers were seen standing guard on some street corners to maintain security.
A couple of young wives who walked side by side with their baby boy, seen stopping briefly beside Pranacitra. then the wife gave a package of rice that was still warm and a piece of copper money on the young man. ''Eat first beggars., here is a little alms for you from us..''
Pranacitra was stunned for a moment and then nodded with a wry smile.when the two passed the young man observed his own situation that had been almost unkempt. ''Hhm., I think I have become a badass, just consider this my fortune in the morning..'' Pranacitra laughed to himself.
Without hesitation he began to eat a pack of rice along with a vegetable stir in his hand.just finished eating he saw a half-aged man coming to the bamboo cap where he was sitting. at a glance from his tense and agitated attitude, he looked like a half-aged man, this person is having problems.Nearly a month Pranacitra glide make him more aware of the situation.he does not want to get into trouble.but strangely the problem seems to always be nearby.
Just as the limp was about to pass, the bamboo-clothed person had already prevented it. ''I have not given you any orders yet, why are you leaving.?'' the whisper was half growling. ''Is the beggar association 'Ireng Branch' intending to cancel the deal with us from the 'Maling Lightning?'' thief society.?''
The cripple turned his head in annoyance, I just finished breakfast, then knew-know-you came and spoke something I don't understand., I think you've got the wrong person..'' no matter what, his feet began to step out of the place.
''Unstudent., you think the Maling Kilat society can be made to play around at will. there are many energies and thoughts that we spend to get the goods you ordered, he said, then now it was so easy for the Beggar Society of the Ireng Centipede to cancel it..''
''If indeed you want to terminate our agreement, at least give us the right compensation.!'' said the man while standing half-stomping.the limp shook his head slowly. ''I told you you're wrong. I want to go, my advice you just wait here.who knows the person you're waiting for will show up..''
When the man was about to prevent it, a beggar with a grass-woven hooded and black dress appeared at a glance similar to the dark color clothes worn by Pranacitra.
''Is the brother of the Maling Kilat society who has come to bring the goods order.?'' asked the black-clothed beggar to the half-aged man who was dressed in bamboo.This man was surprised, a moment later he only realized that it had been wrong people.In his heart he felt annoyed and embarrassed.
''Eehm., I'm sorry I thought that this cripple was a member of the Ireng Centipede beggar's society, I suspect he was the eyes of other groups who also wanted the item..'' whispered the person who claimed from the Maling Lightning society to the beggar in black who had just arrived.Simultaneously these two people moved to lock up Pranacitra.
This limp took a heavy breath ''My life has been hard enough., but why do problems always come to me.'' he muttered down as if he was talking to himself.
''You are a person from which stream, why can you be in this border monument.?'' ask the beggar in black while observing the figure of the limp. In this area the name of the Ireng Beggar Association is quite famous.One of their characteristics is always dressed in black and dark. so no wonder if people from the Maling Kilat association until wrongly thought.
''I am just a vagrant who happened to pass by and rest under this archway and not a member of any association, answered Pranacitra, because of his threatening attitude they were already intending to bend the limp young man.
