The Fire Dragon Sword
Sabrang Damar's Promise
"The descendants of the Dwipa breed?" darin said surprised when he heard Wulan's explanation to him.
"He was the son of Arya Dwipa, the previous king of Malwageni," Wulan explained.
"That could explain his eyes, but how could he have the pure energy of the Tumerah breed?" ask Darin confused.
Darin had indeed realized from the start that Sabrang had pure energy bursting forth within his body and that was one of the reasons for rejecting him to become a disciple other than because the young man had the body of nine Dragons.
With the body of the Nine Dragons alone Sabrang can be very dangerous if you choose the wrong path, especially in addition to the pure energy of the Tumerah breed.
"His mother Sabrang was the last descendant of the Tumerah breed, which is what made her body so special" Wulan replied.
Darin nodded slowly, now he understood where Sabrang had obtained the bodies of the nine dragons while he had not learned any skill in the book of Sabdo Loji.
"It looks like the two great energies of the Masalembo breed made his body evolve into the body of the nine Dragons" Darin said softly.
"The body of the nine Dragons?" lasmini asked confusedly.
"The body of the Nine Dragons is an immortal body that can be learned from the book of the Sabdo Lodge. One of the styles in the book is said to be able to force the body to regenerate all internal organs very quickly. But the effect is also much more terrible, which is why we call it a curse body" Darin replied while explaining the effects of that body.
"His majesty has that body?" chase Lasmini.
"I realized it when he met me at Mount Sinabung to study the Sabdo Palon sword book, that was one of the reasons I rejected him," Darin replied quickly.
"Wait a minute, you say the book of Sabdo Palon? so the book is in Sabrang's hands?" timpal Wulan was surprised.
"True, the book is now in his hands. With the body of the nine Dragons I cannot imagine if he mastered the supreme sword book of Sabdo Palon. That child can change at any time when the evil energy of the Nine Dragons' body gets stronger and when that happens, even ten Mandalas I'm not sure I can stop it."
"The noble one will not change, I knew him when he was still living in the Fire Dragon Sword Sect," Lasmini said quickly.
"Mandala said that, but what happened? he began to dream of controlling everything. In contrast to the sword spirit that controlled the body of its owner, the body of the nine Dragons changed the nature of its owner slowly," Darin replied.
"Mandala?" Lasmini scrunched his forehead.
"Mandala was the first to master the science of canoegan in the martial world, it was he who stole the cursed book from its place."
"If you don't believe it, why have you come so far to teach him the book of the sabdo palon?" ask Wulan confused.
"Have you ever heard that Satan must be opposed to Satan? at this time Mandala has risen and is getting stronger due to the mustika Merah pomegranate and the only person who can defeat it is the child. I don't know if he'll change or not but I'd rather face one demon than two" Darin replied.
"Is that the book of the Sabdo Lodge?" Lasmini who had not known about the book of Sabdo Lodge asked puzzledly.
"Sabdo Lodge is the mother of all the canuragan sciences in the martial world including the Rajawali dance style. No one knows who kept the book under Lake Sidihone and what its purpose was. But for sure, the chaos in the martial world began when Mandala stole the book," Darin replied softly.
"Sorry elder, if you think Mandala has risen and become stronger, is it not too late to teach Sabrang the book now? whether we should attack them immediately, because I believe with a newly awakened body he needs time to adapt" said Wulan arrived.
Darin shook his head softly, "If he needed time to recognize his new body it would still be very dangerous if it attacked without preparation. The red Mustika pomegranate energy is not an indiscriminate heirloom and right now I feel Mandala is able to master it it signifies her new body is also stronger.
My encounter with the boy and Miss Lasmini signifies that nature has arranged everything, and the book of Sabdo palon now in his hands is not a coincidence. Nature has always had a way of balancing everything in this world. All I have to do right now is follow that will regardless of whether it is too late or not he learns Sabdo Palon's sword," Darin was like counting something in his hand.
"If nature does want everything to be balanced, what is the book of Sabdo Lodji for? if the book had never existed, there would have been no bloodshed" Wulan said. The shadow of her family's death, and perhaps Wardhana sooner or later brought her back to the fear of loss.
"Never blame nature for human greed and ambition, never," Darin took a deep breath and picked up a small stone.
"You know why humans are created differently which is sometimes a problem that ignites hostility? nature wants us to learn and appreciate our differences. Every human being has rights that should not be violated by others. Hostility is only a form of human selfishness that rejects differences.
The Book of Sabdo Lodges may be only one tool to test our differences but in the hands of greedy people all become wretched, so do not blame nature for the ignorance of nature's good intentions.
What effect will the emergence of the Sabdo Lodge end up with major damage? no, I still believe nature has another way of rebalancing human error" Darin said, gripping the stone tightly.
"Do you know what happens if I throw this stone in the water? The water that had been calm will surge and spread in all directions and will return to the point until the water is calm again, that is the power of nature.
Nature cannot be challenged by even the greatest swordsman, so trust me and try and let nature be decisive" Darin closed while crushing the stone in his hand.
Wulan fell silent after hearing Darin's explanation, and now he was increasingly convinced that the grandfather before him was not an ordinary person.
The sound of footsteps from outside the cave shocked all of them before two people appeared with worried faces.
"Teacher, how's uncle?" sabrang said worriedly.
"Elder?" sabrang was surprised.
"So you're really a king, huh? forgive my ignorance" Darin got up from his seat and saluted.
"Chairman, please don't be like that" Sabrang prevented Darin from saluting and hugging him.
"Never consider me a king, it should be me who salutes you" Sabrang continued.
After explaining all the herbs including the function of the leaves of the Pule Tree, Darin took Sabrang out of the cave and sat down in front of the rainbow Valley waterfall.
"Have you heard of the body of the Nine Dragons?" ask Darin slowly.
"The body of the nine dragons?" asked Sabrang confused.
Darin then explained about the immortal body that can only be obtained by studying the book of Sabdo Lodge but for the case of Sabrang a little different.
Sabrang likely obtained the body of the Nine Dragons as a result of the evolution of the two Masalembo energy breeds mixed with the Fire God. Darin also explained the possibility that Sabrang would turn into a demon and could become even more ruthless than Mandala.
"That's the reason I rejected you first, the fusion of the bodies of the nine dragons with the sabdo palon sword and the eyes of the moon would be very dangerous if you turned into a demon" Darin said slightly regretfully.
"So I think my grandfather will be overrun by this body?"
"It is not your body that is mastered but your nature and character will change without you knowing it. But I still hope you won't change because if it does, I'm not sure there'll be anyone who can stop you" Darin replied.
"So grandpa believed me?"
"I don't know, it's just that I still believe nature will rebalance everything that's broken because of Sabdo Lodge and maybe through you.
Look, the book of Sabdo Palon was created by my teacher as a perfector of the Sabdo Lodge and you will need a lot of energy to master it. But that's not what I'm afraid of because you have unlimited pure energy and also Fire God energy.
I will teach you all the moves in the book but I want you to promise me one thing, use this style only when you are pressed," Darin replied as he looked at Sabrang.
"Elder need not worry, if until I feel something strange in my body, that second I will also destroy all the science I have," replied Sabrang.
Darin looked at Sabrang gently, for some reason this time he trusted the young man's words.
"Teacher, I'm sorry, I hope you understand my decision to help this child" Darin said.

"Dad, I came to bring you food" said Agam slowly from outside the cave.
"Just put it there, I'm setting the energy in me" replied Mandala from inside the cave.
"But dad..."
"Do you think I can't walk yet?" Mandala arrived in front of the cave.
"Dad?" Agam gasped in surprise, he was really surprised to see Mandala was able to walk, moreover an enormous strange aura continued to overflow from his body.
Agam estimates, Mandala takes up to four full moons to be able to control the new body.
"Have you found out where the heirloom of the wave bar is?" tanya Mandala arrived.
"The heirloom is buried in Mount Padang but we are still trying to find the exact location of Father, please be patient for a moment" replied Agam slowly.
"You must quickly get the heirloom, because even though I can walk for now I can't use all my strength for a while. The red Mustika pomegranate energy was stronger than I expected and it seemed like it took me thousands of years to be able to master it completely.
But we won't wait that long for revenge and only the heirloom of the wave blade is able to increase my power quickly" Mandala said.
"Are we going to attack?" ask Mandala slowly.
"No, this body did amaze me but I felt there was a much more perfect body for the pomegranate-red Mustika confined in this dimension of the eye, if my strength has recovered a little I will enter into that dimension and seize his body" Mandala replied.
"Lakeshwara?" ask Agam slowly.
"Lakeshwara?" Mandala scrunched her forehead.
"Lakeswara is the leader of the Dwipa breed that was originally prepared for Dad's body but something happened and messed it all up" Agam replied.
"Once you go, your choice is right, his body is much better and I'm sure Lakeswara's body will be able to maximize all my strength" said Mandala.
"You sure you're going to face Lakeswara? with your current body maybe.." not yet finished Agam talk, Mandala has cut off his speech.
"Then find the heirloom as soon as possible, with the bar of the waves I'm sure I can deal with anyone including Lakeswara."
"Well father," answered Agam quickly, his face looking worried about his father's decision to fight Lakeswara in the dimension of space and time because he perfectly understood how powerful the Dwipa breed leader was.
Agam is worried that the condition of Mandala who has not really recovered will actually be a weapon to eat master for his father.
