The Fire Dragon Sword
Eternal Mist
Sabrang held the baby to heart, a look of happiness emanated on his face. He kissed the gentle prince Sutawijaya many times while playing a facial mimic to tease her.
"The face of the prince is very similar to yours, Your Majesty," said Tungga Dewi with a happy smile.
"really?" asked Sabrang proudly, he continued to look at the Sutawijaya prince with a happy look.
Tungga Dewi nodded softly, "The queen mother also said the same thing."
"Mother? is she okay?" Sabrang turned towards Tungga Dewi.
"You don't have to worry, Your Majesty, he's fine. Just like me, he always believed you were still alive" replied Tungga Dewi slowly.
Sabrang was silent for a moment, he then put the sleeping prince Sutawijaya on the bed.
"Don't you want to ask me where I've been all this time?" ask Sabrang gently.
"No Your Majesty, I believe you must have a reason not to return to the palace first, the most important thing for me is that you are fine," replied Tungga Dewi.
"You are the best queen that Malwageni has," Sabrang held both hands of Tungga Dewi slowly.
"Listen to me Goddess, the current condition of the palace is uncertain. The presence of the Arkantara envoy seems to be a trigger for a major war in the future. You may have heard if they are ambitious to master Nuswantoro and I make sure Malwageni will fight if asked to submit.
"But the situation this time is a little more complicated because of the birth of the Prince and I don't want anything to happen to you. I've asked Uncle Wardhana to avoid war but if anything happens, I want you and the prince to leave for a while to the Fire Dragon Sword sect" Sabrang said softly.
"But His Majesty..."
"No objection, I'll do anything to save my son like my father did to save me and my mother. You have to take care of him because he will be a great king one day" Sabrang said.
"Sorry, Your Majesty, I have not asked for anything from you all this time, may I request something this time?"
"Tell the Goddess, what do you want from me?" answer Sabrang quickly.
Tungga Dewi changed her sitting position suddenly, she then knelt before Sabrang.
"Even thousands of mercy Your Majesty, if allowed I do not want the prince to ascend the throne," said Tungga Dewi slowly.
"Don't want to ascend the throne? how can you talk like that, you are the queen of Malwageni and by rule the palace the prince is my successor later" replied Sabrang surprised.
"Hamba apologizes Your Majesty, it is only a servant request, if Your Majesty does not allow the servant will follow all the rules," replied Tungga Goddess brickly.
Sabrang looked at Tungga Dewi confusedly, he was very familiar with the nature of his queen. If Tungga Dewi had already asked for something, it would have been with long consideration.
"Tell me, what's the reason you don't want the prince to ascend the throne? ask Sabrang.
Tungga Dewi seemed hesitant to answer Sabrang's question, but after gathering courage, she finally spoke.
"Hamba is very grateful you have raised a servant to be queen, but the incident when you disappeared made the servant very afraid. Being in a power circle full of interests and political intrigue is really scary, I just want the prince to be a strong warrior like you," replied Tungga Dewi a little afraid.
"So that's why you want the prince to stay away from the royal throne?" Sabrang took a deep breath before continuing his words.
"I'm sorry if I wasn't by your side at the time, Wardhana's uncle told me everything about Adiwilaga's crimes.
"Goddess, it has been the right of prince Sutawijaya to ascend the throne later and I make sure the incident will not be repeated again. I already have the right people to protect you and the prince if this happens again and I'm not in the palace."
"The right person?" Tungga Goddess scrunched her forehead.
"If the time comes, I will take him into the palace and I will make sure he will protect you with his life" Sabrang replied.
Tungga Dewi actually still wants to argue but he does not want the mood of Sabrang bad when their happy day.
"Thank you Your Majesty," reply Tungga Dewi.
"I have to go first, there's something I have to do with Uncle Wardhana. Please keep my appearance a secret for a while until the Arkantara envoys leave. I will often visit you at night," Sabrang gently rubbed Tungga Dewi's hair before peeping his forehead.
Tungga Dewi nodded in relief, now his happiness became complete after seeing Sabrang was fine.
"I'm sure Malwageni will be a great empire under the leadership of a great queen like you and please tell mom that I'm fine" Sabrang said before stepping out.
"Okay Your Majesty," replied Tungga Dewi quickly.

As the sun began to set, the ten mysterious warriors dressed in all black and wearing face coverings moved in Trowulan's direction.
As if unperturbed by the darkening atmosphere, they moved agilely among the trees and stopped near the hut Sabrang had built for Mentari.
"So this is the place? have you checked everything?" ask one of the warriors to an Arkantara messenger.
"Right sir, I checked everything before a mysterious young swordsman with an heirloom dagger appeared," the envoy replied.
"You lost to a young swordsman? free chief gave you a poisonous flower swordsmanship, Limba," the swordsman sneered.
The envoy looked furious at the taunts but he could not do anything about it because the one before him was the northern group of holy shrines, one of the four major groups that were under the direct orders of Agam.
Agam Argani did form four large groups as the protectors of the sacred temple sect consisting of chosen warriors. These four groups have their respective tasks to realize the ambition of Agam to raise Mandala.
"I'm sorry Mr. Dwipangga, but his strength is enormous" said Limba, holding back his anger.
"Junk is still trash despite being given a great style though," Dwipangga took a small scroll from behind his clothes and opened it on the ground.
He then made a small fireplace and began to read the inscription on the picture. Dwipangga looked up at the sky and saw the moonlight begin to shine on the place.
"Go to these seven points and look for large stones with special features in the form of perfect circles. Flush the stone with water, and leave it exposed to moonlight. Wait a moment and there will be a clue to open the Light of Heaven," said Dwipangga slowly while pointing at the seven points on the scroll.
Seven warriors of the northern holy temple immediately moved in the direction indicated by Dwipangga while carrying a container of water.
After quite a long time the warriors left, a loud sound like a rock falling in large numbers sounded from the side of the ravine not far on the edge of Trowulan.
"The light of Heaven is already open," Dwipangga ran towards the origin of the voice along with three other warriors.
A large hole that emitted a beautiful red glow was visible on the side of the abyss.
"Gua of Heaven's Light, the place where the seventh or last heirloom of the most powerful red pomegranate was located," Dwipangga continued to stare at the red light in astonishment as he waited for the other swordsman to return.
Before long, the warriors who had been looking for seven stones returned.
"Sir, is that the light cave of heaven?" ask one of the warriors.
Dwipangga nodded slowly, he seemed to be preparing to descend while taking out his heirloom sword.
"Two people are coming with me, the rest are standing guard here. Be careful with each step you take in the cave of heaven's light because reportedly, if the last heirloom of the red pomegranate mustika is taken, the Eternal Fog will escape from that place.
Use the power in order to prevent the effects of fog to control the mind or you will turn into a Devil," said Dwipangga slowly.
"Eternal Mist?" ask the warrior confused.
"The "eternal mist was a strongest seal created by someone to prevent the last Mustika red pomegranate from being stolen. If Mustika was shifted a little from its place then the eternal fog will lock us in the cave until it becomes crazy and dies.
The weirdness of the seal was its fog that seemed to be alive, the fog would not come out of the cave of heaven light even if exposed to the wind. The fog seemed to be guarding the place," said Dwipangga before jumping down followed by two northern holy temple warriors.

Sabrang had just arrived at the inn and was about to close his eyes when the Fire Dragon suddenly reacted strangely.
"Fire Dragon, what are you doing? sabrang said when the flames suddenly burst from his body and almost burned Emmy who was asleep next to him.
"Your Majesty, what happened?" emmy asked in surprise when she felt the heat.
"Relax, I'm looking for you" said Sabrang slowly, then he got up and sat down cross-legged.
"Looks?" sabrang asked back, he felt the reaction of the Fire Dragon this time was unusual.
"Something is going on at our place of battle with Lakeswara, I sense that there is a long-buried great power trying to get out of that place" the Fire Dragon replied quickly.
"Trowulans? was it possible that the mysterious swordsman was yesterday?" ask the Fire Dragon back.
"I don't know, we should check it out immediately because I feel that this power can destroy the martial world" the Fire Dragon said quickly.
Sabrang nodded before grabbing the face cover he used to use.
"Emmy, I have to check on something, stay at the inn and take care of Arina. I'll be right back," Sabrang darted away without waiting for Emmy's answer.
"Your highness," Emmy looked worried, she felt something big was going on.
"Quickly, increase your speed again," said the Fire Dragon irritatedly.
"Do you think I'm relaxing?" reply Sabrang, he continued to use saketi melting core study to get to faster in Trowulan.
After darting for a while, Sabrang finally reached Trowulan, he looked around and found nothing.
"You sure you feel something like a Fire Dragon?" sabrang asked confusedly, as far as the eye could see only the silence he saw.
"I can't be wrong, I really feel a great energy from this direction."
Sabrang jumped on top of the hut to get a wider view, he used his lunar eyes to see more clearly.
Before long, his lunar eyes caught the rest of the energy floating in the air on the edge of the abyss, he instantly moved closer.
A large cave was seen on the wall of the ravine, he again sharpened his lunar eyes to see more clearly the fog that seemed to cover the cave.
"Misty in a bright night like this?" said confused.
"Be careful, it seems like it's no ordinary fog. You see, don't you see that fog doesn't blow in the wind at all?" reply Fire Dragon.
"I have to go down to make sure, something is not right here because as I remember there is no cave in this gorge," Sabrang suddenly jumped in through the fog.
Sabrang's movements instantly came to a halt as something entered his body quickly without being able to resist.
"Something fire dragon is trying to seize Sabrang's consciousness!" yelling Anom suddenly arrived, he released a black aura to prevent the immortal mist from dominating Sabrang's body.
"I know, you think I'm just quiet? this strange energy was actually not too big but it was quite difficult for me to suppress it," The flames started to envelop Sabrang's body but without long, the thick fog inside the cave seemed to suppress the flames.
"Damn it, if I use all my strength then we will be buried in this cave" the fire dragon said angrily.
Slowly but surely, Sabrang's left eye began to change, and among his thinning consciousness, an old man wearing strange clothes appeared in his mind.
"I don't think you're coming any faster, young man, it seems like it's time we destroy this world and prevent the Maja civilization in the prophecy from appearing," the man clutching Sabrang's neck arrived and sucked his strength slowly.
"Who are you and how are you in my mind?" Sabrang tried to rebel, he used Ajian Inti melted saketi to fight but to no avail. The power of the Fire Dragon seemed to be locked by something and could not be used.

There are a few things I want to tell the Singles.
First about the Eternal Fog of Trowulan
Talking about Trowulan which is said to have been the center of Majapahit government is never endless because the place is shrouded in Legends and myths that develop in the community. In addition to the fresh pool there are other myths that I think are unique and very curious.
The Eternal Mist of Trowulan is one of the myths that developed in the Mojokerto area community it is said that this fog is one of the strategies carried out by Patih Gajah mada and Majapahit soldiers to hide the Majapahit Kingdom within fog cannot be attacked.
This eternal fog is usually seen in the morning, afternoon, and evening.why is it called eternal fog because in general the fog will disappear when the sun rises, but the fog in Trowulan is sometimes even thicker. This is interesting because Trowulan Village is famous for its fairly hot temperatures.
Believe it or not on a night or day that is considered sacred like the night of Monday, the atmosphere created by this fog will make every connoisseur feel a mystical sensation that is more tense.
(I quote from various sources true or not I do not know but that is not the point. The PNA raised the myth to hide the last red Mustika pomegranate in the cave of Heaven Light).
The second, about the Book of Tuna Asmara, which has been published one chapter and there will be a new chapter on Sunday night.
Third, ABM will start updating every week starting next week as promised, it can be two chapters or more, so wait....
Lastly, obviously Vote, still awaited his vote in the PNA in order to stay in the top ten.
