The Fire Dragon Sword
Sekar Pitaloka's
As the night passed by almost a third, Wardhana was still standing in the middle of the blue Wind hill while staring at the dozens of Blue Wind sect disciples who were guarding the leaves at some point with flat faces. For some reason when he started to approach the sacred gate, his feelings were agitated.
"What's really going on? the last time I felt something like this, the day before Malwageni was destroyed and His Majesty was killed" Wardhana said in her heart.
"Master? is there a problem?" ken Panca asked arrived.
"Ah no, forget it, maybe just my feelings," answered Wardhana quickly, he stepped closer to some students who were putting up leaves.
"Make sure you observe it properly, I don't want to wait for one more full moon to unravel the mystery of the sacred gate" Wardhana said softly.
"Okay, chief" replied one of the students politely.
Wardhana looked at the night sky that was starting to shine brightly still with an unsettled feeling.
"(Full moonlight will be the beginning of the twin sun markers to appear in Glagah Wangi). What does this message mean, is it possible that the ancient lake was also a moonlight reflector?" he said in his heart.
"Mr Patih, it seems that here lies the ancient lake," cried Ken Panca from a distance.
Wardhana immediately ran up to Ken Panca and some blue Wind sect disciples. It looks like the leaves held by some of his students are filled with water quite a lot.
He took a twig and stuck it near the leaf as a marker.
"Make sure you keep holding the leaf without shifting a bit, I still don't understand some of the other clues" Wardhana ordered as she scanned the surroundings.
"Good chief," they reply quickly.
"The pattern of the mystery is very unusual, if the songo tile only uses moonlight as a message conveyer why the fragrant Glagah needs moon and sun rays simultaneously?"
"Is it because it's probably because of the message-making of different people?" ask Ken Panca.
"It should be that even though the maker is different there will still be a little similarity of the master, such as the science of warfare, as well as the science of warfare, although until now has experienced development will still follow the war book Anyarirani which became the center of science war everyone.
Currently many books of war that have been very developed but will still be found red thread towards the book of Anyarirani. All the time this message is the same, there are some patterns that are changed to disguise it but will not be too deviated sir," replied Wardhana.
When Wardhana was thinking a student who was far enough away from him shouted loudly.
"Chairman, the moonlight is bouncing."
"Collapsing? isn't the ancient lake here? am I wrong?" Wardhana thought again, he turned to the puddles of dew that were nearby.
"The soil moisture is enough, I'm sure this ancient lake is here but why is it there that reflects the moonlight? or don't don't" Wardhana re-opened the scroll.
"two Maja fruit trees or better known as the tree of life will open the holy gate when the twin sun shines on each other.
so from the beginning, two twin suns were two twin lakes that reflected each other and had nothing to do with sunlight" Wardhana began to understand.
"Two twin suns are two ancient lakes?" ken Panca was confused.
"Right but it looks like the two twin suns are just a trap, the key word is on the two trees maja. Since the beginning of the moonlight will only bounce off one of the lakes.
They make a fool of by planting two maja trees near the lake so that the moonlight will not reflect due to blocked Maja trees. Anyone who seeks to find the holy gate will lead to this lake that there is no barrier.
The two trees that will open the sacred gate are a message to remove the two trees from the main lake, I'm sure there's something there" Wardhana walked towards the main lake with Ken Panca.
"Digest this land and look for something similar to a lever or a rock or anything unnatural" Wardhana ordered quickly.
"Good chief" they said simultaneously.
"Sir, there's something I want to talk to you about" Wardhana said slightly away from the crowd of Blue Wind members digging.
"I hesitated to open it, sir," said Wardhana half-whispering after slightly moving away.
"Sorry?" Ken Panca scrunched his forehead.
"This place is made not to be reopened, all these deceivers seem to lead us away from the sacred gate" answered Wardhana.
"Away from the holy gate? if they don't want this place found why make a clue in the two sects that lead here?" shouldn't it be that without any clue this place will be buried forever?"
"What if it's a warning that something is buried somewhere and very dangerous. No one guarantees the holy gate will not be found, and they warn if the holy gate should not be opened?" wardhana Reply.
"If what you say is true about the warning, shouldn't we find it first now? you suspect the appearance of Rakirawa is related to the holy Gate, right?
Then he knows about the existence of the gate, we have to find the heirloom first and if it's very dangerous, we can bury it elsewhere" Ken Panca replied.
Wardhana nodded slowly, Rakirawa's appearance did make her a little worried. No one knows if he works alone or in a group.
"You don't have to worry, the heirloom is better off falling into our hands than anyone else" Ken Panca said.

Ciha watered part of the lake wall made of rock before directing the leaves containing water to the moonlight that entered the dry lake.
He twisted his body and aimed those moonlight at every corner of the lake wall slowly..
Ciha stopped her movement as moonlight shone down on one corner of the wall, though a faint inscription on the stone could be seen.
"Please hold this water and keep the moonlight pointed at that wall" Ciha asked Candrakurama.
Ciha walked up to the wall of the lake exposed to moonlight and flushed back to clarify her writing.
"Pagebluk lampor is far deadlier than any sword, sharper than any other heirloom in the world. Your body will feel hot stinging on the head like burning, your eyes will redden before bleeding. Your breath will feel tight before you die slowly.
We ten warriors sealed it in a mountain surrounded by a very deep valley with all we had to sacrifice. Killing to save the lives of others drives us crazy, and that's the start of our biggest mistake.
We've agreed not to give any clue as to whether Pagebluk lampor was locked up before that person's appearance. He killed us one by one without mercy and tried to find a place where we sealed the pagebluk lampor and released it.
At first I didn't understand why he was so obsessed with us, but slowly I finally understood that it was all out of spite. One of the people we sealed with the pagebluk lampor was his beloved sister. I don't know if sacrificing a hundred people for millions is a justified act but what we did at that time was the best way to avoid destruction in Nuswantoro.
*I am the only survivor who was helped by two martial arts warriors. Si**whatever reads this message stop him and keep the mountain from opening* or Pagebluk lampor will destroy everything."
Ciha held her breath for a moment, she really did not expect what she read.
"Is that the legacy of Pagebluk Lampor until it can destroy Nuswantoro? ask Candrakurama slowly.
This word seems to indicate a disease that was endemic at that time. We must immediately inform Mr. Wardhana if opening the holy gate is a mistake" Ciha said slowly.
"Is the "he" that this message is referring to still alive?" ask Candrakurama.
"I don't know but revenge can sometimes make people do anything. Let's go and meet Mr. Wardhana to tell you this," Ciha replied as she jumped up followed by Candrakurama.
But how surprised the two of them were when they saw Wulan and Mentari staring motionless.
"Be careful with your shadow, he's a shadow seal user," cried Mentari.
"Him?" Candrakurama pulled the body of Ciha Away while paying attention to the surroundings but arrived two shadows darted quickly and locked their shadows.
"Nobody can escape my shadow seal," Rakiti appeared from behind the tree while smiling coldly.
"Wire, my body cannot move" said Candrakurama in his heart.
"I hope you don't hold a grudge against us because actually our enemy is the same, only the heirloom is able to stop Lakeswara" Rakiti said as he stepped closer to Ciha.
"Is there anything you want to tell me about the lake?" ask Rakiti on Ciha.
"You make a terrible mistake if you open the holy gate, Pagebluk lampor is not an heirloom, what is buried inside the sacred gate is a deadly disease that can destroy us all" Ciha replied.
"Disease? do you want to lie to me?" reply Rakiti cynical.
"I didn't lie, everything I said was in accordance with that hidden message," Ciha replied quickly.
Rakiti stared intently at Ciha before laughing out loud.
"Looks like you should make a talk" Rakiti walked over to Mentari while pulling out her sword.
"Tell me what you found in that lake or I'll chop off this girl's head" Rakiti said.
"I've said it all, Pagebluk Lampor is not an heirloom but a plague, don't you hear me? if you really want to kill someone then kill me and stay away from the mistress of the concubine" replied Ciha.
"You think I'm afraid of your threats? just cut my head off!" shout Mentari at Rakiti.
Rakiti looked at Mentari, smiling.
"From the very beginning of seeing you I already knew that you were a brave girl but that didn't change anything, I would do anything to raise the Pagebluk Lampor," Rakiti draped her sword around Mentari's neck.
"Tell me what you found in that lake!" rakiti yelled at Ciha.
"If I were you, I wouldn't do that. She is Sabrang's favorite concubine, the child will kill you if you touch her," Wulan tried to buy time, she was trying to drain the power inside to suppress the shadow seal.
"If I could kill Lakeswara you wouldn't have to bother killing me, I would have killed myself. The most important thing right now is to eliminate Lakeswara and save the martial world" Rakiti replied slowly.
"Some are moving closer, give me time to press this seal," Siren said in Mentari's mind.
"What is His Majesty?" ask Mentari.
"No, I don't recognize his energy, but one thing is for sure he's not an indiscriminate swordsman" Siren replied.
"If not His Majesty, then who?" mentari is confused.
"Please let go of the mistress of the concubine, if you don't believe me, I'll show you the secret message, you can read it yourself" she said.
"No, I already know you very well, you can do anything to deceive me. My patience is running out, tell me what you found in that lake" Rakiti replied.
"I've said everything! what else to say!" reply Ciha.
"You are indeed stubborn Siha," Rakiti pulled his sword and swung down at Mentari's neck.
"Mrs concubine!" cry out Ciha and Candrakurma together.
"Dead you!"
"Say a little more," said Siren annoyed, he kept trying to suppress the shadow seal to release Mentari's body.
Candrakurama immediately moved after successfully escaping from the shadow seal.
"Sial did not have time," said Candrakurama when he saw the sword Rakiti had almost touched Mentari.
"It's too daring for you to kill the concubine Malwageni," a woman appears to arrive and fend off Rakiti's sword.
"Since when?" Rakiti leapt back to dodge the next attack but the woman's movements were faster, she pulled out Rakiti's sword and released the northern ice tread.
Rakiti's body bounced a few steps before part of her body froze.
"Dragon-destroying sword moves," Candrakurama appeared near Rakiti and swung her sword.
Rakiti who can not move can only surrender to receive Candrakurama attack. His body bounced back before hitting the trees.
"Northern ice skating?" rakiti's face changed instantly, she released an aura from her body to destroy the chunks of ice that enveloped her body.
"I'll kill you!" shouting Rakiti.
All looked amazed by the deep power that the woman had, not many female warriors who had so much inner power.
"Are you really Malwageni's concubine?" asked the woman while looking intently at Mentari.
Mentari seemed confused to get a question from the woman he did not know.
Mentari tried to remember the beautiful face in front of him but did not succeed, he really did not recognize the swordsman.
"Who are you really?" ask the Mentari of the heart.
"It's normal you don't recognize me because I've been missing long enough to even be considered dead. I am Sekar Pitaloka, the mother of your king," said the woman shortly before rushing off to greet Rakiti's attack.
"Pitaloka's Hero?" The mentor was shocked.
