The Fire Dragon Sword
Arya Dwipa's Message
Wardhana laid down her body in a room she hadn't been in for a long time. Busyness and problems that arise continuously make him forced to sleep in his work room.
Wardhana pulled out the sword that was tucked in her waist and placed it on the table near her bed.
"A place as comfortable as this can make me lulled and weak," he murmured inwardly.
Sabrang did provide the best room for Wardhana for his great services to seize the Malwageni.
Wardhana refused because she was not used to luxury, which she thought could make her lulled and forget the land.
But after all the problems caused by Saung Galah, this time Wardhana wants to rest his body for a moment to recover his body.
Mentari still has not found and the scheming of Saung Galah makes his head hurt.
Wardhana began to close her eyes while taking a breath, she seemed to want to release the entire burden for a moment and give her body a gift to rest.
But when he almost fell asleep, a knock returned to make him realize.
"Sir, I beg you to face" Ciha said from behind the door.
"Ciha?" wardhana said in her heart.
Wardhana just stared at the door that was knocked on without answering, she had already made up her mind to go to sleep and meet Ciha tomorrow.
Wardhana's gaze was shifted on the sword on the table, its position parallel to the direction of the door made it visible from the position Wardhana slept.
"The sword? did I see it wrong?" Wardhana got up from her sleep.
"Master?" call Ciha back after hearing the voice from within.
Wardhana smiled wryly as Ciha realized that she had not slept.
"Come in" answered Wardhana, pulling out his sword and placing it next to the sheath.
"True to my guess, this scabbard is longer than his sword. What noble Arya Dwipa wrongly gave her scabbard or..," Wardhana scrunched her forehead as she looked at the fine strokes on the tip of the sword.
"Master," Sapa Ciha returned after standing behind her.
"In a moment," Wardhana replied as she tried to twist the scabbard slowly. His face changed as the tip of the sword sheath twisted.
Wardhana continued to twist the tip of the sheath until a small scroll was seen in the slit of the sheath.
"So the reason this scabbard is longer is to keep this scroll," Wardhana took the scroll and read it.
"Your highness?" Wardhana gasped in surprise when she recognized Arya Dwipa's handwriting.
"I wrote this message without knowing who the recipient was, whoever received this message means I believe in you. My ancestors can't be stopped in the usual way, I have to find a way to stop them.
The cross-marriage between the three Masalembo breeds, a name I knew while investigating my ancestor's past seemed like a solution to awaken the Fire God's strongest legendary spirit. Unfortunately my investigation ends with the fact that Ken Panca failed to resurrect him.
I may be an evil father for using my son one day as a weapon to stop my ancestors. Maybe a fair pay if he hates me one day. Sekar Pitaloka who is a descendant of Tumerah I will make queen.
From then on I began to turn my research on the legend of the fire god, slowly but surely I understood why Panca did not want to continue making the heirloom. The spirit of the Fire God cannot be controlled easily.
But I believe nature always has its own way of showing its greatness. I found a way that might conquer it, using the style of space and time.
The dimension of space and time could withstand the power of the fire god in half, thus it was a little easier than fighting with him in the real world.
There was one thing I could not solve, the resurrection of the Fire God was said to be marked by the explosion of volcanoes all over the world. His immense strength was able to destroy a landmass in just the blink of an eye. One second, just one second of time we have to pull the Fire God into the dimension of space and time. In just over a second then he would come off and destroy everything.
With the great power of the Fire God, it became impossible to pull it in just a second. Find a way, that's the only thing that can stop my ancestors."
"So this is the reason His Majesty Arya Dwipa gave me this sword" Wardhana murmured softly.
"Ciha, when the queen Gusti pulled me into the space and time, did you notice how much time it took to pull all my body?"
"Hamba doesn't count master but there is a pause a few moments before your body disappears" Ciha replied.
"One second?" chase Wardhana.
"More master, I don't pay much attention to it but if one second I make sure more," jawan Ciha returned.
"So yes, if my body alone takes more than a second then that strongest spirit will take longer," Wardhana's face turned sour.
"The time of the Fire God's awakening and using the time and space styles must be properly calculated, it looks like this room will be empty even longer," Wardhana smiled wryly.
Wardhana closed her eyes, her head back throbbing pain.
"Then what do you want to talk to me about?" ask Wardhana slowly.
"Jaladara is in the main hall, he insisted on meeting you tonight" Ciha replied.
"Jaladara?" Wardhana scrunched her forehead.
Ciha nodded softly, "Do I have to ask Arung to expel him?" tany Ciha quietly.
"Don't, I'll meet him, it's time I play my role," Wardhana got up and stepped out towards the main hall of Malwageni.
The distance that is not too far between Wardhana's room with the main hall makes Wardhana quickly arrived.
"Master, sorry to bother you this night," Jaladara lowered her head in salute.
"No need to worry, what brings you here?" ask Wardhana without saying stale.
Jaladara looked clumsy as he received Wardhana's unfriendly welcome.
"Saung Galah's late situation is in turmoil since the appearance of a mysterious fortune teller who spread false news about the crown princess. The situation was aggravated by the disruption of the food supply due to Malwageni closing the main access in the duchy of Rogo geni.
I was quite surprised after hearing this order of the queen of Malwageni, I want to ask your explanation on this issue because it is feared that it will stretch Saung Galah's relationship with Malwageni," said Jaladara politely.
"You make me laugh sir, does Malwageni have to explain all the policies in his region to Saung Galah? do you think Malwageni is under your control?" tajek Wardhana's.
"Please don't get me wrong, I just want to find out if we have something wrong with you?" jaladara said while holding back her emotions.
"The problems that happened in Saung Galah are none of my business, just like the disappearance of His Majesty's beloved concubine a while ago, do you care about us?" wardhana Fishing.
Jaladara's face changed instantly as Wardhana alluded to Mentari's disappearance.
"I don't understand what you mean sir" replied Jaladara.
"Malwageni will consider any kingdom as his best friend as long as they do not disturb us, but if anyone tries to play with fire with us then I will not be silent" said Wardhana coldly.
"What do you mean tell me this? you're accusing Saung Galah of playing behind the loss of your concubine?"
"Did I say you were involved?" ask Wardhana quickly.
Jaladara was silent, he cursed in his heart because he was provoked Wardhana speech.
"I'm sorry if you're offended by my words, I just wanted to ask you to relax the border and let the merchants through" Jaladara lowered his voice.
"It seems like for a while I couldn't grant it. I already knew who planned all this, but I was too late to catch him because he ran away first. Until they're caught, I won't loosen the cordon across the border. I hope you understand" replied Wardhana.
"He hasn't been caught yet, meaning Wardhana doesn't know Saung Galah's involvement yet" Jaladara said.
"If you apologize for your ignorance, then I will wait until you catch them. Hopefully the relationship of Saung Galah and Malwageni is maintained well. Please tell me if they manage to escape to Saung Galah, I will catch him for you," Jaladara got up from her seat and lowered her head.
"I beg you, sorry to bother you," continued Jaladara.
"Thank you for your concern" Wardhana replied to Jaladara's respect.
"Come on in my game" Wardhana murmured inwardly as she stared at Jaladara's departure.
"Sir, you called me?" Sora stepped in with Ciha.
"Loosen the guard of the holding room and let Aswarangga escape," Wardhana's orders arrived.
Sora's cow flinched in shock, she couldn't believe Wardhana had asked him to let go of Aswarangga.
"Sorry sir, you want me to loosen the guard and let them escape?" ask the Cow Sora confused.
"What is my order less clear Sora?"
"That's not so sir, how do you let the person most responsible in the mistress's disappearance escape?"
"To fish big fish, sometimes you need to let go of the little fish you get first. Don't worry, Hibata will take care of them, now just do my command" Wardhana replied with a smile.
"Okay sir" replied Cow Sora quietly.
"And please order Kertapati to go to a forest on the outskirts of Saung Galah, give this scroll to a man named Adiwangsa, tell him that he is my messenger.
It looks like we'll be busy in a few days, prepare yourself for battle" Wardhana said.
"the war? don't don't you?"
"We're just waiting for His Majesty's word to conquer Saung Galah, so be prepared," Wardhana got up and stepped out.
"I really don't recognize you sir, you seem to turn into someone else if it's related to Malwageni" said Wulan who stood outside.
"Elder?" Wardhana was a little surprised when she saw Wulan.
"I got word from the White Fox that Sabrang will be back tomorrow morning, I feel I have to tell you this news" Wulan said slowly.
"Your majesty is back?" Wardhana took a deep breath, now he has to think how to convey to Sabrang if Mentari has not been found.
"No need to worry, he will come with his favorite concubine," said Wulan as if to know Wardhana's heart restlessness.
"Mrs concubine? so your Majesty found him?" ask Wardhana.
"That's the news that the White Fox gave me. Rest tonight, lest the disheveled face greet your king," Wulan replied as she walked away.
"Thank you elder" Wardhana lowered her head.
