The Fire Dragon Sword
The Twin-Winding Sword
The main hall of Malwageni palace looked silent after Wardhana explained the risk of resurrecting the Fire God. All aware, any decision Sabrang took has a big risk considering Masalembo began to move.
"It is very risky if the Fire Devil has to fall asleep for a while, I have indeed taught all the studies of the melted core of Saketi to him but after seeing his fight in the forest of Lali Jiwo, I have taught him everything, It was the Fire Dragon that made the Saketi Melting Core become extremely frightening.
The opponent we are facing is the strongest warrior from the past, the existence of the Fire Devil is becoming very important at this time," Wulan said softly.
Sabrang simply listened to their debates while meditating without speaking.
"I understand your concern Wulan, yet is it enough to rely solely on the current power of the Fire Dragon? I'm probably the only person here who's ever faced off with Lakeswara.
Trust me, with my former strength far greater than the present, I lost no more than twenty moves," replied the White Fox.
"What is the current White Fox becoming weak? you seem to want to say that we won't be able to deal with it" Wulan replied.
"There was never any fear in me, but I learned from experience. I want us all to count on everything that's going to happen. Defeating them not only requires strength but also plan and calmness.
The child seems to have prepared Arya Dwipa to fight Masalembo, if we all die in vain then all efforts Arya Dwipa in vain," replied the White Fox slowly.
Wardhana nodded slowly, she agreed with the White Fox's words. War without preparation is like bringing life.
"All decisions seem to be in His Majesty's hands" Wardhana said in her heart as she stared at Sabrang who was still silent.
"Why didn't you ever tell me about the risk of resurrecting the fire god?" sabrang asked in his mind.
"Is that important? at that time I had no desire at all to awaken all my power," replied the Fire Dragon.
"And now you want to awaken your power even if the risk is very great?"
"It seems that the person I chose as master is now beginning to weaken, The foolish child I once knew never once had the slightest doubt even though the opponent faced was much stronger," the Fire Dragon quipped.
"It's not about doubt. I never thought of you and Anom as heirlooms, you are my friends" Sabrang replied.
The Fire Dragon fell silent after hearing Sabrang's reply, for the first time he was considered a friend by his master.
The Fire Dragon recalled back when Sabrang first used the Fire Dragon sword. At that time the young man who is now the strongest swordsman in the land of Jawata did not have as much internal energy as now.
Fire Dragon is famous as an heirloom that is difficult to control, he will continue to try to enter the body of its user.
"You're such a fool, where there are normal humans who consider a fire demon like me a friend, did you forget I ever nearly took your body?"
"Fighting with you all this time makes me understand something, you don't want to rule your user's body. You just want to make sure no one gets close to Cetho Hill and finds the Sky Star sect right?
The sky star sect back then had the key to Dieng, you wanted to protect Dieng because there was a clue regarding the fog cave which was where the fire god was confined. You may be rude Fire Dragon but I know you are not an evil Devil" Sabrang replied softly.
"You have never heard my words" said the Fire Dragon who was greeted with laughter by Sabrang.
"What the Fire Dragon says is true, son, you are strong because there is no doubt in you. The person we are going to face will not be able to be resisted with any doubt in you.
Your father was a great king and warrior, son, he put the interests of the world above his own. There comes a time when sacrifice is needed to change the world for the better.
A thousand years is not a long time for a warrior who has drunk the water of life like you, the Fire Dragon will rise again and make you a legend in the future" Anom said.
Sabrang shook his head slowly, he was still hard on his stance to fight Lakeswara with his current strength.
"If you can get back up and what changes? didn't you say there's no heirloom capable of withstanding your power? your power without heirlooms won't be much help."
"The heirloom of the Pillar Twins," replied the Fire Dragon softly.
"Twin forgers?" Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"When Ken Panca learned of my true strength, she decided to make a pair of twin swords made from sky stones. He realized how much power I had and could not be channeled with just one heirloom.
That was why he finally decided to make a pair of twin swords called the Twin Pillars.
The twin pilons mean identical twin heirlooms to each other, you see a sword reflected by very clear water. With that heirloom I believe you will be able to use my power one day" replied the Fire Dragon.
"Ken Panca made those twin heirlooms? I've never even heard the name of the Twin Pillar," Sabrang asked confusedly.
"Ken Panca decided to bury the heirloom, right now the Twin Penilong is just an ordinary sword without my strength. I'll show you where the heirloom is, save it and use it when I get up.
When Suliwa gave the Fire Dragon Sword to you, I laughed at his foolish decision. If Madrim the warrior in legend alone is unable to conquer me, then what can a foolish child like you do.
But slowly you awakened me if strength is not everything. You may have a special body typical of Dwipa but you should know it's not the body that makes you strong.
That determination and unyielding spirit you have is what made you conquer me. Look stupid, right now maybe only you can defeat Lakeswara Dwipa, raise my strength without a doubt, I will wait for you another thousand years. Don't ever be weak or I'll burn you out!" said the Fire Dragon with a raised voice.
"You are absolutely insane" Sabrang said shortly before opening his eyes.
Sabrang smiled as he watched the debate still going on between Wulan, the White Fox and Wardhana.
"I will raise up the Fire God" Sabrang said.
All were silent for a moment, they simultaneously turned towards Sabrang.
"I've decided, I will raise the Fire God," Sabrang repeated his words.
"Then what if Masalembo moves while the Fire Devil is asleep?" ask Wulan.
"I have two best teachers, the White Fox and the goddess of death. I also have a sleeping Dragon from Malwageni, I'm sure you'll help me as long as the Fire Dragon falls asleep" Sabrang replied confidently.
Wulan was silent before laughing out loud, he really did not get out of the thought of where Sabrang gained such high trust when he already knew the opponent he faced was the strongest swordsman.
"You and the White Fox not only have the same hair, you are just as crazy" Wulan said as she walked away.
"Hey, we're talking about the Fire God and you just left?" ask the White Fox.
"What else can I do? you guys decided it, didn't you? I'll raise a female disciple so that next time I don't lose when I make a decision" Wulan replied.
"The woman never changes, she always does her own thing" said the White Fox.
Without the White Fox noticing, Wulan walked out of the room with a big smile on her little lips.
"You have a very attractive child Arya Dwipa, slowly but surely I began to admire your son. Sabrang Damar, huh? A rainbow that illuminates with justice. It seems like the name matches her," Wulan murmured inwardly as she stepped towards the Mentari pavilion.

The ten corpses of martial world warriors who had been killed by Bima suddenly opened their eyes slowly. They looked confused as they looked around him.
"Welcome back in this world Blood Flower Swordsman Masalembo, you certainly want to take revenge on the White Fox that killed you, right?" greet Bima slowly.
"Bima Commander?" they all got up and knelt down in front of Bima.
"You are lucky to have used the seal of immortality at the last moment of your life" Bima said with a smile.
The ten warriors seemed to be examining their new bodies, once in a while they tried to move that new body.
Every high-class warrior of Masalembo did master the study of the immortality seal. They usually used the seal of immortality shortly before his death.
The seal of immortality will store their spirit in the dimension of space and time so that it can be revived with its new body.
Ajian which is almost similar to Ajisaka and Mahendra's science named Rogo sukmo can only be used if the owner is not killed by the sword of the soul.
This Soul Sword Technique created by Naraya will destroy the spirit of his opponent so that it will not be able to be resurrected.
"Thank you commander," said Anca, the leader of the Masalembo Blood Flower.
"His Majesty's government has come out, it is time to change all the world order that has been destroyed with all ambition.
There's still a lot we're going to revive, the five of you help me use the seal of immortality study and you, Anca, bring half the blood flower swordsman and go south.
There is a kingdom called Malwageni, I want you to kill them all especially the king who is a descendant of Naraya and if you are lucky, you will meet the White Fox.
His Majesty ordered to bring the head of the descendants of Naraya before him, make sure not to fail," Bima's order.
"His majesty has risen? does that mean he's been drinking the potion?" ask Anca confused.
Bima nodded slowly, "The story is long, currently His Majesty is resurrecting the other four supreme leaders of Masalembo. All are preparing a plan that was delayed, your task is to ensure the death of the descendants of Naraya," replied Bima.
"Okay commander, I will bring his head as a gift of His Majesty's resurrection" Anca replied quickly.
