The Ancestral Country
Promises in the Wolf Forest

Ratna Pitaloka was surprised not playing to hear the word Sekar Mayang said

In her little heart she was jealous but also could not force one's feelings

"I want to follow Kakang Watugunung to Seloageng Kangmbok duchy" Aaujar Sekar Mayang while continuing to look at the distance sky

"If only the teacher would allow it, I would leave today"

Again Ratna Pitaloka gawked at the voice of her younger sister.

"All right, you,

if the teacher returns later in the afternoon, I will ask his permission to follow Kakang Watugunung", said Sekar Mayang confidently while glancing at Ratna Pitaloka

"Love I will fight until my last breath"

Ratna Pitaloka could only glare at the words of pearl from Sekar Mayang. His spoiled and cheerful younger brother rarely spoke seriously.

After saying so, Sekar Mayang rushed to his private room leaving Ratna Pitaloka who was still dumbstruck in the porch of the house

'If Sekar Mayang dares to ask permission from the teacher, I will also ask permission'

Meanwhile, the group of Panji Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati have far left Pajarakan. They continued to pound their horses across the road to the Duchy of Seloageng to the west.

By midday they rested on the bank of a small river beside the forest. According to a bodyguard, after passing through the forest they will reach Wanua

The duchy guards were busy removing the luggage from their horse backs, then mooring the horses in the thickets beside the river

"It's tired" said Dewi Anggarawati while soaking her feet in the river.

Patugunung Panji next to her is busy filling her drinking water bags in the big spring on the side of the river cliff

"Awwww...

heard a shout from Dewi Anggarawati, Watugunung directly jumped towards Dewi Anggarawati

"What's Dinda?"

"Someone bit my leg Kakang" Anggarawati replied

Hemmm

'No one was hurt' muttered Panji Watugunung while paying attention to the foot of Goddess Anggarawati.

Then Panji Watugunung turned his gaze to the small river

"Oh that's the perpetrator" said Panji Watugunung relieved while pointing at the big catfish

"Assyik, catch Kakang. later we eat grilled catfish", said Dewi Anggarawati excited.

Watugunung Panji turned left right looking for tools.

Straight wooden twigs in her pick

Hupph..

Once pricked, the big catfish fluttered by the river

Not only one, it turns out many large catfish in the small river. Patugunung banner nimbly thrust the wooden branch into a small river, as a result of ten catfish he managed to catch

The Seloageng duchy guards only gawked at the young man's prowess

"Wahhhh Kakang Watugunung is great,

Let's cook kakang" said Dewi Anggarawati happy..

"If you want, you can take it but burn it yourself"

Simultaneously 4 bodyguards carrying equipment named Gasur, Randu, Gati and Mahesa spirit scramble catfish

Dewi Anggarawati chuckled amusedly to see the actions of the four equipment carriers.

Smoke billows from the fireplace made by Panji Watugunung.2 large catfish roasted on the fire. The smell of burnt meat really arouses stomach rumbling

Without much talking, Panji Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati immediately ate their grilled catfish.

Finished eating and washing the face with small river water, the group set out through the forest through a path that divides the forest

Until dusk they had not yet come out of the forest

The group chose to stop and prepare to sleep in the open beside the cliff

"Uncle, prepare a guard turn yes, I am afraid of uncle's beast ", Pinta Dewi Anggarawati on Ki Saketi

"Yes Gusti Putri, I will arrange the schedule" replied Ki Saketi.

Panji Watugunung found a small niche near the cliff, collecting leaves of the leaves for the bedding of Goddess Anggarawati

The night is getting late

The soft moonlight greeted the earth

"Auuuuuuoh Auuuww...

Auwghhh oauwww

Suddenly we heard the howling of a wolf

The guards of the Seloageng duchy who were awake immediately woke up their comrades.

Panji Watugunung who had fallen asleep for a while, immediately brightened his eyes

Rushing woke up Goddess Anggarawati who was having a good dream..

"Dinda, wake up Dinda"

"What's up Kakang? why wake me up? It's still night brother." Anggarawati said while yawning several times

"Try Dinda Anggarawati listen, please,

What's that sound?"

The Watugunung banner whispered softly

Dewi Anggarawati sharpened her hearing, instantly pale.

It was obvious that the howling of the wolf was not far from his bed

Instantly the drowsiness disappeared from the face of the beautiful girl, changing in fear.

"Dinda take it easy, There is a kakang here" said Panji Watugunung like a well water that doused the fire of fear in Anggarawati

Meanwhile the howling of the wolf grew more and more unpretentious, as if calling all his comrades.

After that all was quiet, but the guards of Seloageng duchy and Watugunung Panji did not lower their vigilance.

The wind blows slowly

Arriving from the darkness of night

Owwwhhh..

A wolf pounced towards the bodyguard. The shocked bodyguard immediately fell to his feet. Not yet had time to stand another wolf pounced towards him.

Seeing his men going on the prey, Ki Saketi immediately leapt at the pouncing wolf

"Crashh...

The wolf's body was cut in two.

"Wake up soon, they'll attack"

ki Saketi shouted

And it's true

Dozens of wolves surrounded them.

The largest wolf, appearing to be the leader of the group, howled loudly

At once, the wolf pack attacked.

No exception targeting Panji Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati.

That night was a life-betting night

The biggest wolf jumped in the line to Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati,

Seeing herself being targeted, Panji Watugunung immediately grabbed the waist of Goddess Anggarawati, bringing her darting away from the safest wolf

The biggest wolf growled to see his prey escape, stomping his feet after the target.

The science of lightening the body of Ajian Sepi Breeze owned by Panji Watugunung is almost perfect, its movement as light as cotton easily avoids the safest wolf and then takes a sword belonging to the guard soldiers left near the campfire

The biggest wolf does not want to give up and continues to hunt Watugunung Panji and Dewi Anggarawati. Watugunung's movement is agile, as if not objected even while holding Goddess Anggarawati

When Panji Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati are in a low place

The biggest wolf jumped into the rock, then lunged towards Patugunung and Dewi Panji

Patugunung Panji then swung his sword

A wind of power in its initial level thrust into the wolf's neck

Crash..

The wolf's body is separated into two parts.

Seeing his leader dead, the wolves immediately retreated. Slowly while watching the movements of the guards then disappeared behind the lush trees

The guards cheered

Among them were 4 people injured despite only minor injuries.

But they are grateful not to end up in the wolf's stomach

"The back of Wugunung promise to always protect me" said Dewi Anggarawati lirih while continuing to hug the body of Patugunung Panji

He was still shivering in fear

"Yes Kakang promised to protect Dinda Anggarawati", said Panji Watugunung while smiling and stroking Anggarawati's hair

That night Dewi Anggarawati fell asleep while hugging Panji Watugunung's body

The morning arrived

The sound of birds singing in the trees

"Dinda woke up Dinda, it's morning"

watugunung said while patting the shoulder of Dewi Anggarawati

"Ehmmmm, yes Kakang", Anggarawati replied as she blinked her eyes

Instantly her beautiful face flushed

remembering the incident last night for him to sleep while hugging Panji Watugunung's body

'Duhh I kog not shameless at all, the daughter of the Duchy of Seloageng hugged the body of a man last night'

"Let's wash your face first, let it be fresh"

take Watugunung while holding the hand of Goddess Anggarawati to the small river

Like a buffalo on his nose, Anggarawati smiled wordlessly following the steps of his heart man

All the guards of the Seloageng duchy could only look enviously at them

They used to look at the Watugunung Panji one eye, but after successfully defeating the Bajing Ireng horde, they realized that the young man was a young swordsman with extraordinary abilities

Moreover, it looks like their daughter, Dewi Anggarawati is smitten with the young man.

Thinking that maybe the young man would become the daughter-in-law of the Duke of Seloageng made them not dare to think of anything

The banner of Watugunung and Dewi Anggarawati immediately washed their faces

Ahhhh

The fresh water of the small river made the drowsiness last night disappear somewhere

The guards of the Seloageng duchy were ready

Dewi Anggarawati jumps on horseback, followed by Panji Watugunung

Now they ride one horse together, because Anggarawati horse died in the prey of the wolf pack last night

They left a dense forest known as the Wolf Forest..
