The Fire Dragon Sword
Mystery Scraps of Khayangan Fire
Wardhana stared at the ruined building before her, she stood for quite a while as she was a little doubtful whether the building before her was the northern ice Tread sect.
Wardhana heard that if the northern ice tread was the strongest sect of the martial world after the black demons, she could hardly believe that anyone could destroy the northern ice tread this badly.
"Can I help you, sir?". A disciple of the northern ice tread who happened to pass by greeted him.
Wardhana smiled kindly while bowing her head. "Sorry sir, is this really the northern ice tread sect?".
"You're right sir, can I help you". The student replied no less friendly.
"I was summoned here by His Holiness Sabrang, can you take me?".
The look on the student's face was slightly shocked after hearing Wardhana looking for Sabrang.
Tell His Majesty that Wardhana asks to face". Said Wardhana as if he knew the confusion of the student. The student nodded slowly before walking away from Wardhana. "Please wait". he said politely.
Wardhana can understand the concerns of the youth in front of him because in addition to being the heir to the throne Malwageni, Sabrang is also a nephew of Mantili. This makes them have to heartily accept guests who want to meet Sabrang.
"Sorry sir, if you are not pleased, but I have to report to the guest who wants to see the Prince, I hope you understand.Let's follow me". Said the student as soon as he reported to his senior.
Wardhana nodded slowly then walked following the young man before her. Wardhana stared around him as he walked towards the main hall of the northern ice site. The damage done in the sect was quite heavy indicating that there had been an enormous attack.
"It seems that I am slightly underestimating the matter this time, if one of the strongest sects alone can be contrived like this means that they have the ability to destroy this martial world". Wardhana continued to pay attention to her surroundings while occasionally shaking her head.
Wardhana's steps came to a halt as the young man pointed to one of the sizable buildings in front of him.
"The prince was there with the teacher and the others, you can meet him now, I've sent a message if you want to face".
"Thank you". Wardhana bowed her head in salute.

"Servant please come to His Majesty". Wardhana kneels before Sabrang.
"Ah uncle has arrived, wake up". Sabrang invited Wardhana to sit down.
Wardhana sat between Suliwa and Arung who had already arrived. Before long Mantili and Wulan Sari were seen entering the room.
"Uncle is actually something I want to talk to you about, it seems to be related to the attack of the northern ice Tread sect". Sabrang took out the scroll that Arung gave him and handed it to Wardhana. "I want uncle to solve the clue written by Ken Panca".
Arung scrunched his forehead while staring at Wardhana. People who are next to it look ordinary even Arung does not feel the existence of a large inner power in Wardhana namum Sabrang so believe that Wardhana who can solve the mystery that has been thousands of years can not broken by even the fighting demons.
"Hamba will do all he can to his Majesty's servant". Wardhana started reading the scroll.
"How did you get Ken Panca's scroll?". Suliwa asked the Arung.
"Mr Panca we have considered as a family of our own. As he searches for the whereabouts of the fighting Devil, several clues lead him to Celebes. His kindness made us easy to accept, our tribe has considered him as a family of its own. When he found out that we were looking for the paratons and the megalantara, Mr. Panca helped us find clues to the book. He wrote down the clues to the existence of the paratons and the lake of the fire in this scroll. He simply left this writing without giving any exact clues as he was more interested in the fighting Devils".
"So so yes, it turns out Panca has already found the mainland Celebes yes". Suliwa said slowly. He had indeed heard of a land that was so beautiful but scary named celebes but at that time he thought that the land was the same as Dieng which did not necessarily exist in this world.
"It seems that Mr. Panca is not uninterested in Paraton and Megantara but that he is too afraid to continue his search for clues". Wardhana spoke up.
All turned to look towards Wardhana simultaneously including Arung who had not believed in Wardhana's ability.
"I mean uncle?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"In the opening section Mr. Panca wrote (I prefer to deal with blue eyes rather than something more frightening. Something that would rise more terrifying than they thought. I decided to postpone it until the chosen one arrived).
If my guess is not wrong I prefer to deal with blue eyes and postpone it until the chosen one arrives. Mr. Panca accidentally discovers the facts about Paraton and the fire-fighting lake but he prefers to postpone it because of his fear of something more frightening. To cover up the fact he found he showed that it was as if he was not interested in what you were looking for and focused more on looking for a fighting Devil". Wardhana went back to reading the scroll.
"(Paraton was deliberately written to find the center of the world because there were no clues in the Five houses of the Gods for one day to be found. Five houses are at the center of different lives. Don't go too far and let nature work its way)". Wardhana is seen thinking for a moment while trying to digest the instructions given by Panca.
"As I suspected when I found something in Dieng if Paraton was deliberately written so that someone like Ken Panca could find something for something. I once read the record of the Fighting Demon Tribe that reads (The book of science is made in a place called fire heaven. We are trying to find that place or if we are forced to make a copy according to the instructions of the book and make a sword out of all the swords)". You know what the oddity of that note is?". Wardhana let out a long sigh before continuing her words.
"We are all led by the bookmaker of Paraton to find a place that Panca believes must be hidden until the elect appear. Nature has always had a cure for greatness and it only comes when the time comes but it seems like the makers of this book do not want to wait that long. That's why they're making instructions through the book of Paraton".
All speechless Wardhana, they still try to digest Wardhana's intentions.
"What if we find that place when nature hasn't prepared the cure?". Arung asked curiously.
"Destruction". Answer Wardhana slowly.
Wardhana's answer sounded slow but was able to make everyone in the room speechless. They only realized that the martial world is currently facing a problem that is so great beyond the problem of the resurrection of the fighting devil.
Wardhana read it again while nodding her head.
"Civilization Maja". Said Wardhana slowly.
"Maja Civilization?". This time Suliwa could not help his curiosity.
"Fire heaven will surely open when Civilization Maja stands because at that time the child in the prophecy has been born. If we force him to open it now when the child is not born then as I said earlier the martial world will be destroyed without the rest of it".
"wait". Arung looks less satisfied with Wardhana's answer. "The creator of this book is a red celestial warrior who is said to have successfully entered the lake of fire. If they've made it in, why did they write this book so that we could find the entrance to the lake of fire?".
"Last note Ken Panca says (They have not/have not found the center of the world and used the grace of eternity and knowledge to try to open something that should not be opened). This guide was made by Ken Panca to convey the message if the bookmaker paraton has not managed to find the entrance to the lake khayangan fire. My guess is they made paratons out of the five houses of these gods". Wardhana stopped her speech for a moment and looked at Sabrang.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. What we will face today is someone who is endowed with a high level of science and extraordinary intelligence. I'm afraid my abilities can't match them". Wardhana's bowing her head. He had to say it as clearly as he could for fear that Sabrang would rely on him too much and become disappointed.
Sabrang chuckled at the behavior of his loyal servant.
"The sword that uncle brought looks good, I'm sure it's not an ordinary sword. I've heard from Uncle Wijaya that Dad gave the sword to uncle. Is that the father's sword?". Ask Sabrang.
Wardhana just nodded slowly, she did not dare to look at Sabrang.
"Uncle told me repeatedly that Father is a great king. If the greatest king alone dares to trust uncle how dare I not trust uncle?".
"Your highness". Wardhana is wrong.
"If one fire dragon alone is able to wreak havoc in the martial world, I believe the two Dragons that are now on my side will be able to overcome everything including the red Sky Warrior. Use your father's sword to awaken the sleeping Dragon of Malwageni who is now beginning to squirm. Awaken the Dragon within uncle and I will take care of the Fire Dragon, then we will destroy the red sky warriors together". Sabrang said loudly.
All were speechless at Sabrang including Wardhana who tried hard to hold her tears out.
"The servant will use all that he has to help His Majesty the king". Said Wardhana full haru. He did not expect that his master trusted him that much.
"You're getting to be an adult, son". Suliva murmured in the heart.
"Well then where should we start to investigate this matter?". Suliwa looks so excited.
"Five houses of the gods". Wardhana pointed to Panca's note.
"Five houses of the gods? where do we find him?". Ask Mantili.
Wardhana seemed to keep thinking while turning the scroll in her hand many times.
"Elder, where did you get this lead you wrote?". Wardhana's question arrived.
"I copied it from the book of the ice god I gave Sabrang". Answer Mantili.
Wardhana's like finding something, she's re-reading Ken Panca's notes over and over again. His eyes stopped at a picture on the corner of the scroll. There is a picture of land surrounded by the ocean.
"Five houses of the gods are spread across 5 Nuswantoro lands. For the mainland Jawata related to the northern ice Tapak sect". Wardhana said sure. "Is there no secret place in this elder's sect?". Ask Wardhana to Mantili.
"Actually....". Mantili did not finish speaking, Sabrang cut off his words.
"There! We found him when we first got here with Arung".
Mantili gasped in shock hearing Sabrang managed to find the place sacred by the northern Tapak.es. Only the sect leader can enter there.
"It was the home of the first gods. Can you show me his place, Your Majesty? I'm sure the first clue of the fire pit is there". Pinta Wardhana's.
"That means 4 other houses of gods?". Ask Arung who is starting to understand Wardhana's explanation.
"Spread in the other 4 Mainlands, I believe one of them is Celebes and End of the Land. The other two are likely to be found in the secret chamber of the northern ice shelf". Answer Wardhana.
"All right, I'll show you the place, let's follow me". Take Mantili later.
