The Fire Dragon Sword
Sabrang's Concern
"Whatdidyou say? Andaru escaped and joined the Demon Valley?. You don't make Daniswara, I know his true nature". Birawa stared intently at Daniswara.
"I saw for myself as we searched for the whereabouts of Ciha, she attacked me and ran away. What he said when accusing us of learning the science of canuragan is just a trick to pit us, it turns out he himself who is silent to learn the science of canuragan. You must act Chairman! You were chosen by three big groups so I hope you don't side with any of the groups". Daniswara said firmly.
Birawa turned to Astaguna who had just been silent.
"How's menurudmu?".
Asraguna shook her head slowly "This matter is not a small matter of the chairman, we must find out and ascertain in advance what is the purpose of Andaru if he does indeed exit the Sect before making a decision but according to the sect rules getting out of the sect without approval is a big mistake. We must temporarily freeze all activities of Lintang wakulu until everything is clear".
Astaguna looked to close his eyes for a moment. He actually did not believe what Daniswara said but nevertheless the rules had to be enforced until all was clear. The Sky Star Sect could survive until this moment because all followed the rules.
"Well for a while Lintang wakulu will be frozen and all their rights will be revoked until we get clarity on the matter". Birawa said slowly while looking at Daniswara.
Biwara felt that this was all Daniswara's plan, but he did not have any evidence.
"To temporarily allow me to take over the responsibility of Andaru Chief, I will make sure no one can enter the sky star sect".
Birawa was quite surprised to hear Dansiwara volunteered to take over Andaru's duties for a while.
During this time Daniswara tended not to care about the affairs of the sky star Sect.
"You sure about what you said? I'm pretty surprised you care about the Star of the sky".
"I learned something from today's incident chief, my indifference has made Andaru make a big mistake".
"We've agreed to investigate what happened to Andaru first, so don't say as if he's guilty". Birawa said firmly.
"Good chairman". Daniswara smiled slightly then left with a triumphant face.
"I will soon silence your arrogance". Daniswara muttered in his heart.

"Your power is too great and your body is not ready to receive that power so when you use it a lot of energy in you that overflow and wasted in vain". Rakiti approached Sabrang who was practicing earth energy on a large rock by the river.
"Ah grandfather, I'm sorry I used your training ground without permission first". Sabrang smiled awkwardly.
"I'm quite surprised that in your body is the energy of Dieng's two heirlooms. How did you get that kris?". Said Rakiti while sitting in front of Sabrang.
"How did you know I had a dark keris?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"It's hard for me to explain it to you, but for a person who has ever been to Dieng, he can feel all the heirlooms from there".
"This gris belongs to my father's cake". Sabrang answered Rakiti's question.
"Your father? So you're a descendant of Arya Dwipa?". Rakiti's face turned suddenly.
Sabrang nodded slowly.
"With your identity as a descendant of the Dwipa breed makes me more convinced to forbid you to enter Dieng".
Sabrang scrunched his forehead "I mean grandfather?".
"Your father died when you were a baby so maybe you don't know the long history of the Dwipa breed with Dieng".
"Grandfather knows my father?".
"Directly not but I know that your ancestors made a pact with that kris".
Sabrang could be seen sighing, something was bothering his mind these few days.
"Look...". Sabrang seemed hesitant to say anything.
"Am I going to indirectly trigger the emergence of a new demon valley? or am I just like them?". Sabrang said slowly.
Sabrang still clearly remembers Rakiti's words if the Valley of the demons was created because of the system in the martial world.
"Why are you talking like that?". Rakiti scrunched her forehead.
"As my grandfather said yesterday, I sometimes had to kill to fight for what I thought was right. I want to be strong in my interest to reclaim the Malwageni".
Rakiti smiled gently looking at the young man before her.
"You like war?".
Sabrang shook his head slowly, "There will be new revenge in every war that leads to new acts of revenge like I did".
"For some things we sometimes have to fight for what is ours but what sets us apart from them is how you dampen the ambition and lust in you. It is enough to fight for what should be yours, nothing more".
"Even by killing?".
Rakiti was really made speechless by Sabrang's question. He never allowed to kill each other but sometimes in defense of something especially in this martial world he was forced to kill.
"What are you really looking for in Dieng? the power to defeat the Demon Valley?".
"I don't know cake, when I first learned martial arts I wanted to be strong to protect my grandfather then after I found out if my father was killed I wanted to be strong to avenge my father and reclaim Malwageni but now I am instead working with the man who killed my father.
After my friend got hurt I wanted to find the water of life to treat him. It seems like the Demon Valley is just my reason for getting in there".
"You're really stupid, son". Rakiti chuckled at Sabrang's words.
"Go get some rest, tomorrow I'll show you something". Rakiti stepped away leaving Sabrang while shaking her head.

"Are you okay, Mr. Lingga? From yesterday you just locked yourself up without saying a word". Mentari said as he saw Lingga coming out of a room.
"I just need a break after our fight with the Valley of the Skulls". Linga said coldly as she stepped out.
The phallus darted agilely among the lush trees. Moments later his steps stopped when he saw Sabrang sitting cross-legged by the river.
"What have I been doing wrong all this time?". Linga looked at Sabrang. Rakiti's words are still ringing in his ears.
When both his parents were killed and he almost died Kertasura saved him and taught him the science of canuragan. From then on he was determined to become strong to avenge his parents.
He pulled out a small knife from his clothes. He recalled how for the first time he had killed with the knife while trying to help his parents.
There was a feeling of satisfaction when he saw the person who hurt his parents die in his hands. From then on countless people he killed to date include Arya Dwipa.
The phallus threw away the knife for a moment before jumping back among the trees.

"You guys ready?". Rakiti shocked Sabrang and the others when they had finished eating.
"Ready?". Linga scrunched her forehead and turned towards Sabrang.
"Where are we going to the cake?". Sabrang asked confusedly.
"I will escort you to the place of the Sky Star Sect but I will only point the way, the rest of you are trying".
"But how...". Sabrang stopped his speech then lowered his head saluting Rakiti.
"Thank you cake".
