The Fire Dragon Sword
The Secret of Dieng
The humid atmosphere of the cave walls submerged in sea water for a year plus the gurgling droplets of sea water became their accompaniment in the most mysterious place in the world. The phallus could not even blink its eyes staring at the beauty created by nature.
"So this place really exists". Linga stared at the astonished sky of the cave. Although the cave gate is only about twice the size of an adult but in the cave looks quite large.
Ciha groped the cave wall after stepping deep enough. After being pretty sure it was the place he was looking for, Ciha cast a fog seal. Before long a thick fog appeared around Ciha, After the fog began to disappear, a large enough stone was seen near the wall that had been touched by Ciha.
"This is the slate written above. Come here, I'll re-attach the fog seal to give us some time if anyone comes in here". Said Ciha while paying attention to every detail of the stone.
"You okay, young master?". The mentor who noticed the change in Sabrang asked in astonishment. Ever since entering Dieng, Sabrang hasn't spoken.
Sabrang simply nodded slowly without answering Mentari's question. He stepped closer to Ciha while occasionally staring around her.
Ciha re-attached the fog seal to disguise their existence if anyone entered Dieng. He wanted to concentrate on solving the mystery on the slate at Birawa's request. Suddenly a blue aura enveloped the entire cave quickly followed by the smell of sulfur that was quite pungent.
"Not to panic, a protective seal was made to deal with this blue aura. You are safe as long as the protective seal covers your body. This aura will disappear by itself and again arrive, we just need to make sure the protective seal remains attached during the inside". Ciha glanced at Sabrang who did not use a protective seal.
Ciha was a little surprised when she saw that aura seemed reluctant to approach Sabrang.
"Is the end of this cave the second gate?". Ask Lingga curious.
Siha nodded "There is a forest end there filled with poisonous plants. The second gate is under the river of death".
"River of death?". The phallus scrunched his forehead.
Ciha did not answer Lingga's question, she was already late with the slate before her. Ciha took out her scroll and took the scroll seriously.
"This post is incomplete". Ciha fumbled at the inscribed stone. "(*Water will open the dark veil and remove the wrathful angkara *Panca*)". Ciha reads the most striking part of the last sentence because it is written with a larger size than others.
"Did you find anything?". The phallus looks curious.
"Yet, this writing is like deleted or accidentally deleted. I can't put it together because a lot of letters are missing". Siha scratched her head.
"What exactly does Mr. Panca want to say". Siha murmured in the heart.
Ciha returned to flip the scroll, she really did not understand the fragment of the sentence.
"Have you ever heard the term seawater can unravel all mysteries?". The mentari suddenly spoke.
Siha's face look excited after hearing Mentari's words.
"(Water will open the dark veil). If we water this stone with water maybe the inscription will be visible". Ciha immediately took a bowl from the coconut shell that is usually used for eating and took water in small dikolam as deep as the eyes of the feet near the stone.
The look on his face turned back moody after he had doused the entire surface of the stone but still there was no change, even the water in the small pond was already drained.
"Damn, it looks like we're wrong". Ciha threw down her body and sat down while continuing to stare at the stone before her. His gaze stopped on the small, already dry pond.
Ciha got up and approached the pool, though there was faint writing at the bottom of the pool.
"So, watering the stone with sea water is not to bring up the writing on the rock but to throw water in this pond because the writing is here. Help me clean this lubricant". Ciha continued to dredge and clean the moss at the bottom of the pond.
A writing is clearly visible on the bottom of the pool after the lubrication is cleaned.
"Are you ready to know the secret of this place?". Ciha took a deep breath before starting to read the palawa script.
"(It all started with a weird dream all my life)". Ciha began to spell the writing, everything there was like holding their breath listening to every word that came out of the mouth of Ciha because they realized from the mouth of the young man that slowly Dieng's mystery would be revealed.
"(Dream about a group of light blue-eyed people who slaughtered everyone without compassion. They seemed to enjoy every drop of blood that flowed from the body of his victim. As I began to be interested and investigate them, all the clues I encountered at the 5 volcanoes where Banaspati was sealed led to one place. A place that was covered by nature was as if it kept the secret of that light blue-eyed person)". Ciha gasped in shock after reading the writing. He tried to calm himself down before returning to reading. While Mentari felt his body tremble, no more smiles were seen on Mentari's face after hearing Ciha's words, he glanced at Sabrang who was sitting near Ciha.
"(*When I entered Dieng I realized that if all my actions were wrong, I should not have followed my dream's instructions and opened this place. Fighter demon tribe, I only found out that name after entering Dieng and found some slate in the Red Valley. They're right here! at least that's how I feel. My mind was terrified at that moment, I was sure that somewhere in here hiding that immortal tribe, those who managed to survive the wrath of the gods were hiding and waiting for someone to**free them of something*)". Ciha could barely breathe after reading the writing.
"So the Demon tribe of true fighters exists in this world". Saying Ciha quietly.
"Fighter Devil Tribe?". The phallus scrunched his forehead.
"Fighter Devil Tribe is an ancient tribe that is described in some ancient books as a tribe that managed to master the book of Heaven and earth. The book of immortality was mastered before the gods destroyed it. I thought it was just a fairy tale". Ciha shook her head slowly.
"Does this boy's eyes have anything to do with the Demon Fighter tribe?". Linga murmuring in the heart. Linga had indeed heard that the eyes of the moon can really be raised by the owner of a 7-star body but he did not think that all members of the fighting demon have the eyes of the moon. The phallus could not imagine how great the tribe would be if it really existed.
"I realized something while I was here, with the book of eternity the heavens and the earth they created a great heirloom to draw warriors in here and open the gates of darkness. Yep! They're locked up in the Gate of darkness. I created 4 heirlooms at my last moment before my consciousness was snatched away by the fog to strengthen the gate seal". Siha's face turned pale as she read that last sentence.
"What does that word mean?". The clueless phallus asked curiously.
"Do you see this writing? (Special body) although some of the writing is broken I can conclude from the previous sentence".
" The key to all this is the special body, the body of 7 bin.....". Ciha stopped her speech as she felt something raining down on her body. Mentari let out a loud scream seeing Sabrang stabbing the body of Ciha with the dark ruler's keris while smiling.
"What are you doing young master?". Say Mentari just before Lingga ambushed his body. They're slamming into the ground. Mentari felt a pain in his back, scratches keris ruler of darkness visible on the back Mentari. Fortunately for him Lingga ambushed him when Sabrang arrived had appeared behind Mentari with a drawn keris.
"Young master". Mentari meronta but Lingga clutching it harder. "Let's realize he's not your friend anymore, at least for now". Linga looked at Sabrang who was grinning at them.
"I have to stop it". The phallus drew his sword and attacked Sabrang. But when the Lingga attack almost hit him Sabrang disappeared from view and did not appear again.
"The speed is really terrible". Linga is still trying to master her condition.
Mentari ran over to Ciha who was lying with blood still pouring out. "Ciha hold on! I'll try to suppress your bleeding". When Mentari was about to stick his palm he pulled back his hand quickly. He remembered that if his inner energy contained poison, it would only make things worse for the Siha.
"Let me go". The phallus drains its inner energy into the body of the Siha.
"A.. I'm fine, you guys forgot my body is immortal". Said Ciha brick stamped.
"Your immortality will be free if your blood keeps coming out like this". Serge Lingga while continuing to suppress the bleeding of Ciha with his internal energy.
Mentari's body becomes limp and sits on the ground. His tears flowed like they could not be contained.
"Young master". Lirih.
"Calm down, lady, she can still be saved". Siha said while enduring the pain.
"You mean?". Mentari got up and approached Ciha.
"For me who has drunk the water of life just by burning my body or destroying it if I want to kill me. The boy was affected by the jurus malihsaga as it was written on the pond. He could burn away my body with the fire dragon in an instant yet he did not. He used that dagger to stab me, it signified he could still take a little of his consciousness".
"So?". Mentari's face began to show the spirit that had been lost.
Ciha nodded softly "Please sit me down". Said Ciha to Lingga.The bleeding is slowly stopped after Lingga pressed it.
"You okay?". Say Linga slowly.
"I'm fine for now, I just need to drink the water of life again but if we don't save the boy from the influence of body-magics not only me but we'll all die".
"so it's true they're locked up in there?".
"Master Panca warned everyone here, I'm sure he wrote this at his last minute. In this article he says (before my consciousness was taken away by the fog). I'm sure in his last moments he warned me not to open that gate. There is no fifth heirloom, all just a trick of the fighting Demon tribe. The last heirloom was not the flute of the demon king but their own, the Fighter Demon Tribe".
Linga gasped in shock at the explanation of Ciha, what they fought over so far turned out to be a savage tribe that would destroy all humans on earth.
"You sure?". The phallus tried to make sure.
"Here clearly the master of Panca said to create 4 heirlooms instead of 5, I'm sure only 4 heirlooms were created by Lord Panca to seal the gate of darkness".
Ciha took a deep breath before returning to talk "Master Panca has warned us not to bring the 7-star body owner closer to Dieng and we instead bring him in". Ciha shook her head slowly.
"Can you carry me?". Tanya Ciha arrived.
Linga was confused.
"I'm sure he's headed for the second gate, we'll have to stop him quickly before it's too late".
