The Fire Dragon Sword
Intruders in the Golden City of Wentira
Tanwira banged the small stone he brought to the wall, before long the fire struck the entire room was hit by sparks.
A spacious room greeted them, some walls had strange writing and drawings. Tanwira was quite amazed to see the contents of the room which was all made of gold. Although they have lived there for millions of years, but not once did Tanwira dare to enter the room.
Wardhana is seen touching a stone that emits light.
"This stone can store heat energy and re-emit. They can already make tools like this". Wardhana shook her head slowly.
"We call it the Stone of Light, it can absorb energy and radiate it back". Tanwira.
Wardhana's gaze stopped at a writing in the sky of the room, a sword image stuck on a rock and a picture of a very large Lake.
"Suwarnadwipa?". Wardhana scrunched her forehead. He kept on remembering the name, it seemed like he had heard that name.
Wardhana started reading the writing in the room.
"(The hidden cave in Suwarnadwipa's forest will lead you closer to the center of world power)".
Tanwira stepped closer to Wardhana who looked cool reading the writing in the cave.
"Swarnadwipa is one of the land that is said to be located at the end of Nuswantoro, some Kumari warriors reportedly never set foot there".
"House of the gods". Wardhana says arriving. "I'm sure the house of the third gods is there".
Wardhana then took out his scroll and began to copy the writing and drawing of the walled image, he was sure the clue would be useful to find the next home of the gods.
"Master come here". Ciha called Wardhana while paying attention to the strange picture on the wall of the room.
Wardhana and Tanwira walked up to Ciha.
The look on Wardhana's face gasped in shock when she saw the picture that Ciha showed but she tried to cover it up.
"This picture should...". Uncompleted Ciha spoke, Wardhana gave a sign not to continue her speech. Wardhana coughed and stuck her index finger on her lips as Ciha turned her head.
Although Ciha did not understand what Wardhana meant to ask her to be quiet, she did.
"Is there anything strange about that picture?". Tanya Tanwira was curious.
Ciha shook her head softly "I just feel familiar with this picture but it seems I was wrong". Said Ciha lying.
"So you're guarding this place while you're staying here?". Wardhana distracts Tanwira who is not satisfied with Ciha's answer.
Tanwira nodded softly "I decided to build the Wentira civilization for finding this secret room but no one dared to go inside. The Wentira warriors are just standing guard outside". Answer Tanwira.
Wardhana is seen thinking while silently giving Ciha a sign to copy the picture he showed.
"Sir, we found nothing here, I've checked every corner of the tapj room there's not a single piece of rock that looks like a fragment we found in the northern ice Tread sect". Confused Charcoal.
Tanwira seemed surprised to hear Arung's remark, he did not pay attention to it because it focused on the writing on the walls of the room.
"No way, we've always been guarding this place, no one's ever been in this room".
"Maybe we're misplaced, it looks like I misinterpreted the clue Mr. Panca left behind. I'm sorry, Your Majesty". Wardhana scratched her head.
"So we misrepresented it too? all we've been guarding all this time is this empty room?". Tanwira smiled wryly.
Sabrang and Ciha looked at each other, those who knew Wardhana were not hard to believe that Wardhana had misidentified a clue.
Wardhana is always careful before analyzing something, not the careless nature of Wardhana like that.
After ascertaining every corner of the room and not finding a key fragment of the lake khayangan fire they rose back up with a shunt step. They think the trip to the mainland Celebes all this time in vain.
Wardhana did not say much and immediately stepped into his room after asking Sabrang for permission.
***
As the night wore on and almost everyone was asleep in their sleep, a body was seen settling into the silt approaching Wardhana's room.
Wardhana who was sitting while watching the scroll was not too disturbed when the door of her room was opened without excuse.
"Daughter Master". Ciha half-whispered while closing the door to Wardhana's room.
Wardhana just nodded and continued to pay attention to the scroll.
"Mr duke why don't you tell me the truth if the star room is indeed the home of the gods we seek?". Tanya Ciha was curious.
Wardhana stopped reading, and then massaged his forehead to make sure his head was sick.
"The place has always been guarded for millions of years, Tanwira even guarantees that no one is free from the guardianship of Wentira warriors. You know what that means? If that key fragment is missing the only person who can steal that key fragment is the guardsman".
"So it's true that the key fragment was in the room before it was stolen?".
Wardhana nodded softly "I'm sure Wentira has been infiltrated by the enemy, at this time I can not guess who the person is but I believe the culprit is among the nine warriors of Wentira guards. That's why I kept it a secret while this fact, I wanted to lure the thief into appearing and if my estimation was correct I'm sure one of the nine guard warriors was a red celestial swordsman in disguise".
Ciha gasped in shock at Wardhana's analysis, she was quite amazed at the man before her who was able to estimate something with only a very few clues.
"Isn't Wentira a hidden city? how could a red celestial swordsman infiltrate without being noticed? you see for yourself how tight care is gated Wentira. It's impossible for us to enter without fighting like yesterday".
"We'll find out after we catch the thief. Tomorrow I'll lure the thief out but I need your help". Wardhana whispered something to Ciha.
"Okay, sir, I'll try my best". Ciha nodded her head.
"Actually I'd like to ask for your rock one more". Wardhana's showing her roll notes.
"Have you ever heard of the Suwarnadvipa mainland?".
"I've heard it, sir, but I don't know the exact location". Answer Ciha.
"The Suwarnadwipa landmass is drawn here, I want you to study it because I have to prepare a trap to attract the key thief of the fire-fighting Lake. Once we get the second key, we'll head straight for the Suwarnadwipa mainland".
"Aren't you in a hurry, sir?, shouldn't we go back to Jawata first?".
Wardhana shook her head slowly. "The intruder who stole the key fragment signified that the red celestial swordsman had started to move and change his plan, it seemed like they had found a clue to the lake of fire. If we don't hurry up then they'll find another key fragment first".
"You're sure the intruder's still in Wentira? what if he's gone after getting the key?".
"I'm sure he's still here and is currently trying to escape. The theft seemed to be done in a hurry after our arrival". Wardhana stood up and put the scroll back into her clothes. "I want to go out for a while to get some fresh air". Wardhana smiled meaningfully.
Ciha stared at Wardhana's departure in amazement. "You really are a very terrible person, Duke". Siha murmured in the heart.
