The Fire Dragon Sword
The city of Arkantara
"Your majesty" cried Emmy as she jumped from the top of the tree. The surprised Sabrang immediately caught the body of the concubine but since the footrest was not strong enough, they both slipped and rolled on the ground.
"Emmy, what are you doing?" sabrang was upset.
"I'm bored, we've been in the woods for a few days and haven't found any villages yet" whined the spoiled Emmy.
Sabrang shook his head slowly looking at Emmy's childish behavior, "Didn't you used to be a swordsman? how could you not be used to being in the forest?"
"It's all your fault that's always locked me in the palace" murmured Emmy.
"Is your fault?" Sabrang scrunched his forehead when he heard Emmy calling him "you".
"Will I be punished for being disrespectful to the king of Malwageni? aren't you the one who asked me to be reasonable so that no one would be suspicious?" emmy taunts.
Sabrang smiled gently as he rubbed the woman's long hair in front of him. Although Emmy tried to shake her hand, Sabrang continued to caress her hair until she was silent.
"Are you angry with me?"
"You are too busy with the martial world and often ignore me while in the palace, you always have time to visit the wrestling queen and the Dance but not with me," whined Emmy as she looked away.
A trip with Sabrang for a few days in the Swarna Dwipa forest brings them closer, and Emmy uses it to protest.
"So that's why you're mad at me?" replied Sabrang while chuckling.
"angry? who dares to be angry at the king of Malwageni who is currently perhaps the strongest swordsman," the look of an annoyed face began to appear on the beautiful face of Emmy.
"Do I look like I don't love you? you know, living on the run in the Fire Dragon Sword sect made me forget how to be happy. The death of my father and the fact that my ancestors were the cause of all the chaos of the martial world almost drove me crazy.
Few things can make me happy and forget for a moment the heavy problems on this shoulder, and one of them is when I get to know a beautiful woman on the mainland Celebes. I don't know why I love him so much that he almost killed me" Sabrang said.
"I never meant to kill you, whose fault was stealing see someone else's practice?" quick Emmy reply.
"You know, I've never told anyone a lie. I'm sorry if you feel neglected, there's not the slightest thought of ignoring you, only the situation is not possible" Sabrang's right arm let out a cold chill, before long the ice in his hand formed a flower.
"As an apology from me, accept my gift" Sabrang said softly.
"What's this?" emmy asked puzzledly, he continued to notice the ice chunk that actually looked more like a rock than a flower.
"Flower to you" replied Sabrang who was greeted with Emmy laughter.
"Keep laughing, if you want me to form a perfect flower it will take thousands of years" Sabrang replied softly.
Emmy again laughed loudly when she heard Sabrang's words, she felt Sabrang was really plain.
"Just keep the flower, I'm afraid to use it to throw you when you're upset" Emmy kept laughing.
"You're really weird" Sabrang replied confusedly.
"How could the strongest swordsman possibly do such a foolish thing, * Emmy said in her heart.
After a satisfied laugh, Emmy then unrolled it and watched the surroundings.
"It looks like we're almost there, Your Majesty, if we see this point we should live through a mountain before reaching the border of Arkantara. Now all we have to think about is how to get past their layered examination."
Sabrang suddenly put his index finger on his lips and asked Emmy to be quiet.
"There is someone watching us" Sabrang said slowly, forming an ice knife in his right hand and ready to strike.
"Observing us, is it possible?" emmy's curiosity was soon answered when dozens of people dressed in all-black clothes and face coverings appeared and surrounded them.
"Your highness?" emmy said softly as he drew his sword.
"Calm down, let's see the situation first. Looks like they're not Arkantara warriors," Reply Sabrang calmed down.
"What are you doing in this place?" shouted one of the warriors.
"Sorry sir, we are heading to Artantara and accidentally rest here and if it bothers you, we will leave" Sabrang replied politely.
"Arkantara? what are you doing there?" ask the swordsman again.
"We just want to visit your old friend" Sabrang replied.
"Visiting an old friend with a knife? you think I'm stupid?" the swordsman stared at the ice knife Sabrang was trying to hide.
"I'm sorry if you're offended but this is a natural reaction when we're stopped from arriving" Sabrang said.
"Don't believe his words, he's Saragi's henchman, '" shouted another swordsman.
"Saragi's hentek? so they were not Arkantara warriors," Sabrang began to analyze the situation, he did not want his presence to be smelled by the Arkantara and the Holy Temple troops.
Sabrang tried to minimize the fight during the infiltration this time.
"Prince?" said the swordsman who had shouted at someone beside him as if waiting for an order.
The situation begins to heat up, the swordsmen pull out the sword and prepare to attack as Emmy begins to race the horse.
"Patience, it seems that they are also enemies of Arkantara," Sabrang touched Emmy's sword and lowered it down.
"But Your Majesty see for themselves, they cannot be well spoken to" Emmy replied upsetly.
"Relax, I have a plan" Sabrang noticed a small-bodied swordsman, his body shape does not indicate a swordsman but he is highly respected by other warriors.
"Prince, we await orders" whispered the swordsman back.
The swordsman called the prince paused for a moment before nodding softly.
"Capture him" he said slowly.
Upon hearing the command, they immediately moved in unison,
"Emmy, don't move from where you are," Sabrang channeled the Fire Dragon's energy into his eyes before releasing a time-stopping stance.
Dozens of warriors who tried to attack Sabrang gasped in shock as the time around him seemed to stop. They could still see Sabrang moving while bringing out dozens of keris energies right in front of all of them but none of them were able to move his body.
"What strange moves does he actually use?"said one of the warriors before feeling a chill on his neck.
"If I'm an Arkantara henchman then you're all dead by now, be smart because I just want to speak kindly" Sabrang pitched his ice knife around the neck of one of the mysterious warriors.
"Prince," shouted another swordsman as time turned around.
"You better not move because Anom's energy can kill you in an instant" Sabrang threatened.
The mysterious swordsmen were sculpting instantly as the keris energy began to approach them slowly.
"My name is Maruli, prince and rightful heir to the Arkantara throne. I'm sorry if we offended you" said the swordsman who was in Sabrang's grip.
"The darkness is very high, my trained troops are not even a match, if this fight continues we will only die in vain" Maruli said in her heart.
"The heir to the Arkantara throne? so the news that I heard about the crown prince's expulsion from the palace was true," Sabrang pulled an ice knife from Maruli's neck.
"That's what happened, then who are you?" ask Maruli politely.
"My name is Damar and that's my wife, we don't intend to make a fuss with anyone because our goal is only to visit a supposedly prosperous kingdom" Sabrang replied quietly, he directed his hand at the keris energy and pulled back into his body.
"The keris went into his body?" Maruli looked surprised to see the dark lord keris as if it pierced Sabrang's body and disappeared.
"Would you undo the intention to enter the capital, come with me, I will tell you what is happening in Arkantara at this time," Maruli asked after believing Sabrang was not a follower of her half-sister.

"This is where we hide from the pursuit of Saragi's troops, sorry if you are uncomfortable because we closed your eyes during the trip but we have to do it for the sake of secrecy of this place," Maruli opens Sabrang's blindfold and Emmy turns.
Some buildings were simple and dozens of soldiers greeted them politely.
"Welcome prince" said the soldiers.
"They are my guests, bring food for them" Maruli ordered as she invited Sabrang and Emmy to sit near one of the buildings.
"Leave us a moment" Maruli asked her troops.
"Well prince," they reply quickly.
"I'm sorry if the place is simple but we are forced to hide in this place" said Maruli slowly.
"Don't hesitate prince, we warriors are used to spending the night in the forest" Sabrang replied with a smile.
"Looking at your kanuragan science earlier, it seems that you guys are not ordinary warriors, and visiting old friends is an absurd excuse. Right now I doubt you can enter the capital because all the borders are guarded by holy temple warriors but if you believe me, I can infiltrate you into the capital" Maruli replied.
"Sacred Temple rider? what do you know about them?" ask Emmy interested.
Maruli gave a small smile, now she began to understand Sabrang's purpose towards Arkantara.
"I'm guessing you don't want to visit old friends, if you're after the holy temple troops, we're on the same side. What if we work together? I don't know if you have any grudges with them but right now our enemies are the same. I will help you enter the capital but help me destroy them" replied Maruli.
"You're not in a high bargaining position sir so please don't try to pressure us, if my master wants, you're all dead" Emmy replied cynically.
Maruli was silent for a moment, she did not expect Emmy to talk like that.
"We decide the rules of the game, help us enter the capital and we'll see what you can get" Emmy said.
