The Fire Dragon Sword
Lake of Life
"That's the entrance". Ciha pointed to the large cave that was in front of her. Linga scrunched her forehead while looking at the cave in front of her. The shadow about the great lake of life was very different from what he saw.
"Isn't our purpose today the water of life?". Ask Lingga wonder.
"You haven't learned about the structure of this place, have you ever thought that in the dark hillside there is such a large and beautiful place?". Said Ciha scoffing.
"So that's the entrance to the Lake of Life?". Ask Lingga again.
"We'd rather call it another dimension. The lake of life is on the deepest side of Dieng and the closest to the underwater volcano. You will feel a different sensation when you are in the Lake of life. The smell of sulfur stings and very hot water will welcome us inside". Ciha.
"As you said if I should get used to the weirdness in this place, right? we better get in". The phallus again held Ciha and stepped towards the mouth of the cave.
"Be careful, there are many traps in that cave". Saying Ciha quietly.
"That trap?". Mentari scrunched his forehead.
"You're not thinking of taking a leisurely walk and finding water that can make your body immortal are you? There's a lot of traps in there but if you follow my tips we'll be fine".
The first thing that greeted them as they stepped into the cave was the pungent smell of sulfur. Mentari and Wulan sari even several times seen difficulty breathing.
"Do you see the torch on the cave wall? Use this to light it up". Ciha took out a kind of friction stone that could give off fire.
"I think I'm starting to miss that kid". Linga murmuring in the heart. He did not think Sabrang so easily let out fire from his body.
After several times Lingga banging the stone finally sparks grabbed the torch on the cave wall.
Ciha was a little surprised after seeing the fire quickly grabbing through the cave room.
"It looks like someone's been in here a while". Siha muttered in heart. His hand touched the torch several times "Still warm". Mumbled.
The cave became very bright because the indentation in the cave wall turned out to be a lighting system that stored flammable oil.
The cave floor looks very beautiful with a two-color arrangement of natural stones.
"Put your feet on the white stone, the black stone will set off a trap". Said Ciha while throwing a stone at the black stone.
What happened next made Mentari and the others hold their breath. The walls of the cave shifted and took out dozens of arrows and huge stones.
"That's what happens if we touch that black floor". Ciha.
"It looks like this place should indeed be sealed forever". Linga shook her head. He walked heartily according to Ciha's directions. Mentari and Wulan sari followed behind him with bated breath. They could not imagine if the trap was active while they were in the middle.
Slowly but surely they continued to enter the cave deeper. Every trap can be avoided thanks to the ciha's instructions.
Their steps came to a halt as the cave suddenly shook violently.
"Have you stepped on the wrong floor?". The Mentari yelled angrily at the Linga.
"Does poison make you unable to distinguish between white and black?". The phallus pointed at his feet which were in white.
"Then what vibration is that?". Wulan sari looked worried.
Not yet finished their curiosity dozens of people emerged from within the cave with pitch-black eyes.
"Is this a trap?". The phallus scrunched his forehead. He was sure that those before him were human beings like himself, but where did they come from? it was not his entourage that first entered Dieng and if there were this many people entering Dieng they might not have noticed.
"Hey Ciha, who are they". Linga shouted after not getting an answer from Ciha.
"I don't know, many times I've been through this place but only this time I've seen them". Said Ciha brick stamped. He could count about 50 people blocking them.
"It's not good, be careful". The phallus drew out its sword as they began to attack. Mentari and Wulan Sari helped without waiting for orders.
The phallus slash managed to repel them but that confused the warriors who attacked them as if they had no pain. They will rise again after being hit by an attack and immediately attack.
"It seems I recognize their style". Lingga smiled wryly, he was sure that the knowledge used by these warriors was Ajian a breadfruit burner.
"They seemed to be warriors who drank the water of life but ended up possessed by the spirit of water. What's surprising is that if they've been here for years why they've only now come out and been hiding where they've been all this time". Said Ciha astonished. He was very confident as long as he entered Dieng many times he had never met or felt the existence of the creature.
"If we keep this up, we'll run out of steam inside, let me try my hand". Wulan sari jumped forward and chanted her nurse.
The phallus moves backwards along with the whizzing of the Wulan sari.
"Tier IV bone-degrading wind knife". Wulan sari turned her sword in the air. Shortly a gust of cold wind hit the warriors. Their bodies bounced banging against the cave wall with holes almost all over their bodies.
"Red Lotus has this great style?". The phallus amazed.
Uncompleted Lingga was amazed to see the style of Wulan sari of the warriors rose again and attacked more ferociously.
"I thought it wouldn't be that easy". Linga shook slowly.
"Take him a minute". Linga laying the body of Siha beside Mentari.
When Lingga began to make a move suddenly he looked like he felt something.
"You're so slow". The phallus smiled slightly as it sheathed back its sword. Wulan sari who also felt something jump back and pull Mentari's body away.
Shortly after they retreated the ambient air temperature began to rise rapidly. What was seen as a result of the black flames quickly burned all the warriors that passed through it.
"So this is the power of the fire dragon?". Wulan sari who just saw him shook his head shudder.
"Who are they?". Sabrang leapt back as dozens of warriors re-emerged from within the cave.
"I don't know, but they never seem to end. If this keeps up the energy in all of us will be drained". Say Linga slowly.
"I have a plan, follow me". Sabrang pulled out the dark ruler's keris in his left hand.
"Come on, don't get left behind". As Sabrang began to move the flames grew bigger and burned everything that passed through it.
Sabrang stopped his steps when he was at the end of the cave, he turned his body back and slammed the fire dragon sword in the sky of the cave. In an instant the cave collapsed and sealed off the road they had passed earlier.
"The rock will hold them for a while". Sabrang said slowly. Before long the fire began to disappear from Sabrang's body followed by the two heirlooms in his hands.
"And we're stuck here, too". Linga grunted annoyed. The cave is the only way out and now it's sealed shut.
Sabrang did not answer Lingga's innuendo, his eyes focused on a very clear Lake. The lush trees around it seemed to protect the lake.
"Don't touch that water". Ciha shouted as Sabrang approached the beautiful lake before her.
"Isn't this the water of life?". Sabrang said in astonishment.
Ciha nodded softly "The water of life needs some special treatment before it is touched or you guys will be like the one that attacked us in the first place".
"These are true there". Wulan sari said slowly while looking at the large lake before her.
The phallus is seen frowning his forehead while staring at the stone arrangement in the lake. The very clear lake water makes it easier for them to see the bottom of the lake.
"It's like I've seen the stone, but where?". The phallus tries to remember.
"Is there anything strange?". Wulan sari approached Lingga who continued to look at the lake.
"Ah no, it just seems to be my feeling". Say Linga slowly. He walked around the lake while trying to remember.
