The Fire Dragon Sword
Health Conditions Wardhana II
Wardhana sat in her room with a heart, the pain in her chest was still a little felt even though Wulan had drained energy in her pureness to help reduce the pain.
He took the medicine Wulan gave him and drank it.
"It seems like this wound is getting worse, I can't die before I solve all the problems of Malwageni," Wardhana closed her eyes, she tried to sleep and rest her body.
"Can't be hurt again.how can a soldier not be hurt," said Wardhana with a smile as he recalled Wulan's message.
"Uncle," a voice woke Wardhana, she turned towards the voice and found Sabrang standing beside her.
"Your highness?" Wardhana got up from her seat and immediately saluted.
"Uncle is okay? uncle's face looked a little pale, "sabrang asked worriedly.
"Please don't worry too much Your Majesty, I'm just a little tired of just returning from Saung Galah" replied Wardhana politely.
"So yes, uncle should take a break and do not think too much about all his own problems" replied Sabrang.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will follow all your instructions."
"Then what about Saung Galah?" ask Sabrang back.
"They have started to move Your Majesty, I got word from the password that we spread that Arkantara also sent a messenger to Saung Galah silent and met the prince of Pancaka," answered Wardhana.
Wardhana then explains all his plans including using Andini's and Adiwangsa's daughters to trap them all.
"My sister can never change, I don't know what she really thinks" said Sabrang lirih.
"I'm sorry if you sassy your Majesty, but the prince will not be able to change because it is already his nature. You won't be able to kill him either, so the only way to control the prince is to let others suppress his movements."
"Pancaka is stupid, he seems not to care about being used by others for his ambition. Sorry for putting my uncle in this situation" Sabrang replied softly.
"Please do not apologize Your Majesty, I only do what I think is right, Wardhana replied.
Sabrang looked relieved, he felt lucky to have a coach like Wardhana who was loyal to him and could always be relied upon in any situation.
"Uncle, something happened in Trowulan last night and it seems to be related to the Red Pomegranate mustika" Sabrang said, recounting what he experienced while in the Cave of Heaven's Light.
"It looks like they've moved Your Majesty, if what was stolen is true red mustika pomegranate it's a sign of the awakening Mandala is near. We need to stop everything quickly before it's too late.
When the servant came home from Saung Galah, the servant met the elder Wulan and the master of the White Fox. There is one thing that I finally understand from all the series of problems in this martial world, Your Majesty. The sacred Temple troops have been around for a long time and that means the plan to raise the Mandala has been in the old structure" Wardhana replied softly.
"Holy Temple troops have been around for a long time?" Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"When we find Gropak Waton at the top of Kenteng Songo, I feel strange because by chance Lakeswara and two other Masalembo leaders were injured at the foot of the hidden mountain. What purpose Lakeswara came to the mountain that was very rarely visited by the warriors and who hurt them is still a mystery.
Then his expulsion of elder Wulan with his family which is said to be due to seeing a secret book belonging to Lakeswara and how his father had the book Sabdo Lodge at that time seemed to be the key to unraveling this problem. If the servant's guess is correct, Gropak Waton is involved with the sacred Temple forces in herding and utilizing Lakeswara to ignite chaos as the first step to awaken Mandala.
They want to make a mess like they used to be as a warning if they're going back for revenge and it's their plan that seems to have almost succeeded with the appearance of Thunder Flame and the Fighting Demon Tribe" Wardhana replied.
"But uncle, if all was their plan long ago, why did it have to be all this time just to resurrect Mandala? isn't Lakeswara already making a mess a long time ago," Sabrang replied puzzledly.
"What if it's all because of Mr Naraya?" wardhana.
"I mean uncle?"
"Hamba does not really understand about the science of canuragan including the special body that you have, but the science of canuragan in the book of Sabdo Lodge is said to be the highest science and certainly requires a special body to master it.
Perhaps at that time they were preparing Lakeswara as a new body for the Mandala revival but the betrayal Naraya committed by sealing the bodies of world leaders forced them to delay the plan.
This is only the estimation of His Majesty's servant, and the only way to find out everything is to re-examine the land of Masalembo" Wardhana said.
Sabrang fell silent, he could hardly believe what Wardhana had said about the cause of the martial world's chaos all along. If it was true that Lakeswara was only being utilized by them, he could not imagine how powerful the army of the sacred temple was.
"I will join my uncle to check back the land of Masalembo" Sabrang said slowly.
"Okay, Your Majesty, tomorrow morning before sunrise we leave," answered Wardhana politely.
"I'll wait for uncle in the forest, rest tonight, I feel like uncle's face is different than usual" Sabrang said before leaving.
"Sorry Your Majesty, I am forced to keep all this a secret, if I cannot survive this battle, I hope you find someone better than a Wardhana," wardhana's body arrived as if floating before collapsing on the floor.
"I must endure, I must endure," Wardhana tried to reach for the medicinal herbs Wulan had given her.
After struggling to drink the potion, he was unconscious with the rest of the medicine spilled on his clothes.
Wardhana deliberately did not ask for the help of the guard soldiers outside because she was afraid that their fighting spirit would go down when she found out that the situation was precarious.
The body of the Dragon from Malwageni was seen to be no longer able to bear the heavy burden that had been carried. The wounds from the fight and battle during this time that sometimes almost took his life began to gnaw at his body slowly.
***
Wulan looked at a scroll in his hand seriously, a scroll containing records of canuragan science that he stole from Masalembo was suddenly burned.
Her tears trickled back down her cheeks as she recalled the quarrel with Wardhana yesterday before the White Fox appeared.
"I just want to help you! I can use the seal of immortality and we'll find a new body for you!" yelled Wulan annoyed.
"Do you think I would do that? then how is it different from me to Mandala?" wardhana Reply.
Wulan was speechless, she could understand Wardhana's principles but on the other hand, she was also afraid of losing the man.
"I. I just don't want to lose you," a sincere confession came out from Wulan's little mouth.
Wardhana's face slightly changed after hearing Wulan's words, there was a sense of regret for yelling at the woman.
"I'm sorry if my words were outrageous and offended you, I just wanted to be myself. The seal of immortality might be able to make my life long but what good would it be if I had to use the body of another person. Wardhana is the one sitting in front of you right now, if my body changes, it's not me anymore.
I have always been proud of everything I have, even though I have no talent like His Majesty and will always be like that. His Excellency Arya Dwipa taught me how every human being has a role in this world with his advantages and I will hold the advice of the person I respect the most.
Maybe I'll die soon but pride in the principle of living I will live on and one day another Wardhana will emerge. I hope you can understand my decision not to use the seal of immortality" Wardhana said softly.
"You're not thinking of me?" the atmosphere had completely melted away, Wulan did not hesitate to show his joy to Wardhana because he believed that at any time Wardhana could die with such injuries.
"What can I do with an almost immortal woman? with a body not injured will be difficult to live for a long time like you," said Wardhana teasingly.
"You!" wulan's anger was ignited, he did not understand how Wardhana could still joke with his current body condition.
"Listen to me" Wardhana suddenly hugged Wulan's body.
"After the incident at Gunung Padang, we always met in silence to treat my wounds and that was enough to make me happy. If the trouble with Arkantara and the holy temple army is over and I'm still alive, I promise to marry you.
Although I was only given one day after marriage, it was enough because I could die in the arms of my loved ones" said Wardhana lirih.
"Do you love me?" ask Wulan.
"You are the most precious thing to me after Malwageni."
"Retract from the position of coach and stay here with me, if you don't want to use the seal of immortality I will try to use pure energy to treat your wounds" Wulan said.
"I can't, I really can't do that" Wardhana said.
Wulan pulled her body from Wardhana's embrace with an annoyed face.
"Did Malwageni mean so much to you? isn't there a Paki master who can replace you and you can still help His Majesty from the Rainbow Valley Waterfall" Wulan said.
"It's not just about the land of birth but also loyalty and the principle of life. I am not from Malwageni because Trowulan used to be the territory of Majasari but His Excellency Arya Dwipa taught me the meaning of loyalty and being a real man. Since then, I've given up my life for Malwageni. To die for this land is a supreme pride" answered Wardhana.
"You're really stupid, if you die for what I live forever? I will follow where you go,“ Wulan said as she stared at the notes of the style she burned.
"I used to like other people but my feelings were different for you, whether since when did you interest me," Wulan grabbed her sword before stepping out. He had already made up his mind to always be by Wardhana's side in his final moments.
