The Devil's Legs Upside
The Legend of the Devil of Dwaraka Country

The two of us then flew away from the village at the foot of the small hill and followed where the curly-haired little boy was walking. He continued walking and walking.The man then plucked his finger back, and in an instant we returned to the ancient settlement where the city of Dwarka was supposed to be. Apparently, the little boy walked up to this ancient settlement as well. Far away he walked…

We follow him to the beach... wait...Where is the beach? As far as my eyes can see only the expanse of barren land, there is no sea and my Bridge? Of course this was the condition of the sea of Dwarka (the Arabian sea territory of the Republic of India) in the past, hundreds of years ago, perhaps?

In the middle of the barren expanse, the curly-haired little boy stopped, then his hands clenched into the sky and suddenly before him came out a square-shaped building with ancient carvings on its walls. Again I was shocked by this little boy, the temple-like building suddenly appeared from the ground. The curly-haired little boy then opened the door of the building and spewed out all the black shadows in his mouth. He then sealed the door with a spell and locked thousands of Pretni inside the temple building. This temple building is what I saw in the underwater imaging on the Well-head monitor screen, the building that was hit to a hole in the roof by our giant drill bit.

Ohh, so it's like that! I showed my understanding to that guy. He smiled at me, then pulled his finger back. Instantly around us came large and magnificent houses, slamming out from the ground. So also behind me, appeared a huge palace towering with a golden-colored wall. The curly-haired little boy in front of me earlier, turned into an Adult, and his figure became so handsome with a crown and gold-colored clothes.Hah! I was shocked, That little boy is this guy next to me.

I looked back and forth so astonished, lest this was the real Dwarka city of the past.

“Dwarka city?” I said to him.

“Dwa-ra-ka” eyed him so cheerfully.

Now I see, this man sealed the Pretni-Pretni in the past. But I still feel awkward, why would a city as grand and beautiful as this be able to enter the sea in the future?

The man seemed to understand what I was muttering just now, he then snapped his finger back and took me to move places. This time we were both in such a big palace.

In the great palace I was faced with the sight of six men with their weapons surrounding a pair of kings and queens begging for mercy. Fifth of the six mighty men, I recognized him.The Five Pandavas! Immediately I understood what was happening before me, this was the scene when the Pandavas of Lima, in Indian folklore, won the Mahabarata war.

The two kings and queens who were begging for her help were the blind King Drestarastra and his Queen who had turned a blind eye to her husband, Queen Gandari. Then that sixth man! The sixth man is this man! Now I know the identity of the person who told me all this past.

Then as I have known in the legend stories of Mahabarata that is so legendary even to Indonesia, Ratu Gandari – after losing a hundred children - finally cursed part of Dwaraka sank on the sea floor. It turns out that all these stories are related, which is why in the ocean in my bridge there is an ancient building where Pretni is sealed.

I smiled at the man, now I respect him more. I understand everything that's happening now. But then I was again overwhelmed with sadness, after knowing all this still I could not do anything. All has already happened, the giant drill bit has released thousands of Pretni who are now floating in my Bridge.

And again, this man understood what was in my mind, he flicked his finger and brought me back to the front of the ancient building in the old Dwaraka city. A moment later, a powerful tsunami hit the city, engulfing and destroying the entire building. I even covered my face with both hands, I thought that the mighty wave would sweep us away, but we were both astral, unable to be touched by anything that was going on here.

When we were in the sea, the time controlled by the man kept spinning so fast into the future. Suddenly the steel foundations of the Bridge were planted and the Bridge building seemed to float on me. I kept looking up at the surface of the sea, and then came a giant drill bit that hit right on the ancient building. It was this event that caused all the chaos and calamity that happened to us.

Then I turned my head towards the man, hinting that there was nothing more that could be done to seal the demons back, but the man seemed to disagree. He swung his index finger forward, as soon as the giant drill bit was uprooted, leaving a gaping hole in the roof of the ancient building. Then suddenly appeared thousands of black shadows from the direction of the Bridge, dive into the sea and enter the ancient building again. Thousands of black shadows scattered into the ancient building through the gaping hole.

I'm surprised, Why? Why would they want to come back sealed? The man then showed me the contents inside the ancient building, remotely using his magic. Inside the building turned out to contain a magnificent city with beautiful gardens. And there Pretni is not a sinister demon, but beautiful women. They all look happy in there.

I was so stunned, it turned out that this man, the God who rules everything, was really good according to the legend. He not only sealed Pretni, but gave her a decent life there. It was only fitting that the Pretni-Pretni had blindly attacked the drill tubes in Well-head that had destroyed their home.

“But .. I’m already dead..” I wrote to him.

After everything he told me, it's useless, right? I can't do anything about it. But the man shook his head and took me flying out of the depths of the sea. From there I could see myself fainting, and Lim, Julia, and Gagan were shaking my body in tears, hoping to regain consciousness.

The man then let go of his right hand which touched my right shoulder, as soon as I could move as I wished. I thanked him and left him. But again, he pulled my hand, when I turned his head it turned out that what attracted him was the form of a curly-haired little boy, his form as a child first. The boy smiled cheerfully at me and then snapped his finger, and then his face turned into Gagan.

“HAAAHHH?!!”

“DIMAS!!”

I woke up with Julia holding me. Lim and Gagan looked happy to see me regaining consciousness. I looked at them with a smile, grateful to have a friend who always took care of me. Then I returned Julia's embrace tightly.

“Now ... Let’s go!” (Now... Let's go!)

“No wait .. Lim!” (Wait.. Lim!)

“Huh?”

I looked at the three of them “There is something we must do ..” (There are things we have to do)

....................................

“NO WAY!” (DO NOT WANT!) Julia snapped at me instantly releasing her embrace from me.

“Dima, are you going to come back there? After what you have done to survive, just based on .. Dream?” (Dima, are you really going back there? After all you did to survive, just baseless... Dream?)  Added Lim.

“That’s not an ordinary dream” (That's not just an ordinary dream)

“Couldn’t believe that!” (I can't believe it!)

“Dimas, Look ... you did it, you help us escape .. you save me! Now you trying to ruin it by coming back there again?” (Listen, you did it, you saved all of us, you saved me! Now you're gonna screw things up by going back there?)

That's what happens when I tell you what I went through when I drowned. Of course, Lim and Julia would not believe all that. But I believe it, for me it was so real. It was a message for me to solve all these problems.

Imagine, if this situation were left, that Pretni-Pretni would still be here. They can kill the police, the investigators, or anyone who wants to go back to this bridge. In fact, they can go to the city and kill all the humans there, just like they did in the village at the foot of the hill. We can't just run away.
