The Fire Dragon Sword
Khayangan Temple
Lotus Lake is an ancient lake located near the foot of Setumbu hill and Menoreh Hill.
Its location is quite difficult to reach and some of the lake has been covered with ash and lava vomit of Mount Merapi makes the lake that witnesses the emergence of the book of Sabdo Loji in the martial world as forgotten.
When some people have forgotten that near the Mandala killing site there is a lake, Agam actually intends to visit the ancient lake.
Agam stopped his steps for a moment when he was at the foot of Setumbu hill, he tried to recall the exact location of the Lotus lake. After being sure there was no wrong direction, he continued his journey back into the forest which was near the foothills.
The humid atmosphere began to feel as Agam increasingly entered the forest, the atmosphere was getting darker when the sunlight was no longer able to penetrate the lush giant tree of the forest.
After walking for a long time in the forest, Agam finally found the ancient lake he was looking for.
He was quite amazed when he saw the lake, although some of it was buried in rocks and ash due to the eruption of Mount Merapi, the Lotus lake is still well maintained as if someone lived in that place.
"True to my guess, they are still hiding in this place," Agam said with a smile.
Agam then made a fireplace on the edge of the lake and took some leaves for his place to rest.
Long enough Agam sat while staring at the lake before an aura suddenly pressed down on his body.
Agam smiled lightly while holding the handle of his sword, although he tried to look calm but without realizing his body had been soaked by cold sweat.
Agam did not expect them to get stronger after the last meeting a few days before Mandala was killed.
"How could they hide this much power," Agam rose from his seat and bowed his head saluting towards the ancient lake.
"I came in peace, and if allowed I would like to meet with Mr. Hanggareksa" Agam said politely.
"Go! we don't accept outsiders" a voice suddenly echoed throughout the forest.
"Sorry sir, I really want to meet with Mr. Hanggareksa to talk about the events on the Menoreh hill thousands of years ago. My name is Agam, the son of Mandala who was brutally murdered on the top of the Hill" Agam replied.
The mysterious voice was not heard again for a while before a thick fog with an extremely pungent smell of sulfur arrived enveloping the forest.
Agam instantly drained his profound energy as his breath began to be irregular, the white fog with the smell of sulfur seemed to absorb his inner energy slowly.
"Sky seal? they are still using this ancient seal to cover the building" Agam said in his heart.
Before long, slowly but surely the white mist began to disappear. Agam who continued to pay attention to the lake looked astonished as a magnificent building that began to be seen in the middle of the lake as the fog disappeared.
"Kayangan Temple, this place always amazes me with its beauty and splendor," said Agam amazed.
A bridge of rocks seemed lined up neatly from the edge of the lake to the magnificent building.
Agam again saluted when he saw a man standing on top of the building with ten warriors.
"Receive the honor of Mr. Hangareksa's servant" said Agam while looking down.
A warrior signaled Agam to approach and ascend to the top of the Heaven Temple.
Agam nodded slowly, he walked heartily and climbed the magnificent building.
"It's nice to see you again, sir," said Agam when he was in front of the Hangareksa.
"So you're really Mandala's son?" tanya Hangareksa cold.
"Right sir," replied Agam briefly.
"Just tell me what's necessary for you to be with me? if you want to pull us into the martial world like your father tried to do first then forget it! Pendekar Kalang is only in charge of guarding this khayangan temple from the hands of your dirty hands!" hangareksa.
"Dad really admires you master, although choose a different way to plunge into the martial world but what father did also to protect this place. It was a pity that he died in such a devious manner before his wish was realized.
But the situation is different now sir, the Fire God has risen in the hands of a young man who has ambitions to rule the world. You are the one who best understands how much power the Fire God has. Were the Kalang warriors able to deal with it when he realized that all the mysteries of the Sabdo Lodge were buried at the bottom of the khayangan Temple?" answer Agam slowly.
"You? how do you know if something's hidden at the bottom of this temple?" Hangareksa looked surprised because it should be the one who knew the secret was only the kalang swordsman tribe.
"I don't know what's hidden at the bottom of this lake but some clues I've found in the Sabdo Lodge are related to the God of fire and forbidden civilizations.
I am the son of Mandala who also admires you, so it is our duty to protect the temple from the hands of greedy hands. Help me stop the Fire God who is currently residing in the body of a Malwageni king then I will give up my life to guard the Khayangan Temple," Agam said politely.
"Protect the temple of khayangan from the hands of greedy hands? you make me laugh, son. Wasn't your father the source of all this mess when he found the long lost book of Sabdo lodge?" balas Hangareksa cynic.
Agam chuckled after hearing Hangareksa's words, he was really surprised people in front of him blamed his father without burden.
"Didn't we all make a big mistake, sir? forget the mistakes of the past and we fix them together" replied Agam.
"What do you mean we made a mistake?" tanya Hangareksa sharp.
"I'm just guessing, if the great secret of Sabdo Loji was buried in the heavenly Temple it should be here too right? how did the book get to Sidihoni Lake?
Or do not, someone from the warrior Kalang betrayed and ran the book and hid in the lake Sidihoni. Isn't that a mistake too?" reply Agam quickly.
Hangareksa fell silent, the shadow of her beloved sister's face re-emerged in memory. How the younger brother he trusted the most could steal the book that they should have kept for life.
"You're really good at gleaming Agam's tongue, if I don't look at your father first, I've killed you!" answer Hangareksa upset.
"I'm sorry if all of my estimates offend you sir, I just want to say if we all have mistakes in the past. Dad actually wanted to return the book to its original place but maybe he was blinded by ambition.
I come with good intentions, inviting you to correct the mistake and return the book Sabdo Lodge stolen by King Malwageni to its original place. I really appreciate if the swordsman Kalang does not want to get involved in the martial world but if you stay still and let the child get stronger then the God of fire will not be able to be stopped," Agam replied.
Hangareksa seemed to think for a moment, he began to be affected by the ruse and incitement of Agam.
Hangareksa does not realize if it is being used by Agam to smooth its ambition to rule the world.
"Where is the boy now?" ask Hangareksa.
"I know, the news that I heard he died in the ruins of Mount Padang but I'm sure it was just his strategy. Maybe he's currently hiding somewhere while executing his plan."
"Hidden? we'll see if he can hide from my sky seal. Go, do not interfere with the affairs of the Kalang swordsmen because I myself will kill the boy. But, if you lie to me then you're the one I'll kill" Hangareksa said.
Agam quickened his pace as the white mist reappeared and as he turned his head, the Khayangan Temple that had stood majestically disappeared instantly. Only the ancient lake was in front of him.
"It seems my duty is a little light this time thanks to the help of the swordsman Kalang," said Agam as he stepped out of the forest.
"Do you trust him, sir?" said one of the swordsmen Kalang on Hangareksa after Agam left.
"I don't know but what he said is true, we have a responsibility because of the greed of my brother who carried the book away. Quickly, use the sky seal to find out where the God of fire is, we have to take the book back" Hangarexa ordered.
"Okay sir" the swordsman then sat down and began to close his eyes.
White mist seemed to soar in the air before spreading rapidly carried away by the wind. After a long period of mediation, the warrior opened his eyes.
"Air waterfall, I feel the fire God energy is near the waterfall which is covered by a seal of master," said the swordsman.
"Do you know where it is?" tanya Hangareksa fast.
The swordsman nodded quickly, "It looks like it's in a very lush forest."
"All right, let's go now, bring some Firebuss warriors. It seems like the fight this time will be a little difficult because our opponent is the Fire God," said Hangareksa quickly.
"Good sir."

"Did something happen to the cake?" sabrang asked confusedly as Darin suddenly stopped their fight.
"For a moment, it was like I smelled the stinging smell of sulfur. It's quite strange because this place is far from the Fire Mountain," Darin replied quietly, he continued to pay attention to the surroundings.
"Flame sulfur? I didn't smell what?"
"No, I'm sure I kissed her, it looks like something's not right. For a while we stopped training because you have mastered the fourth level Sabdo Palon sword. Tomorrow morning we resume again," Darin rushed out the rainbow valley waterfall to check on the situation.
Sabrang simply stared at Darin's departure confusedly while trying to smell something.
"Sulfur smell?" said confused.
"Sorry Your Majesty, we must return to the palace to prepare a meeting with the Arkantara envoy" Arung said slowly.
"You're all going?" sabrang asked when he saw Emmy, Candrakurama said goodbye.
"Sorry Your Majesty, I would like to see Prince Sutawijaya and visit the queen's Gusti for a while, maybe tomorrow or the day after he returns here. You don't have to worry because elder Wulan will be guarding uncle while I'm gone" Emmy replied softly.
"Well, be careful and do not be seen Arkantara envoy because your face is recognized" replied Sabrang.
"We beg Your Majesty" they said at the same time before leaving.
After their departure, Sabrang decided to meditate near the waterfall to recover his strength after training with Darin.
One that Sabrang finally realized after practicing the fourth level of Sabdo Palon swordsmanship, the higher the level of the sword skill was the more it required a great amount of inner strength.
"Don't be too forced or your body will be injured, you've used too much of my energy in the training just now" the Fire Dragon said in Sabrang's mind.
"really? sabrang replied puzzledly, he subconsciously had used the fire Dragon energy a little excessively because every sword move from the Sabdo Palon scripture was as if drugging him and forcing him to keep moving.
As the night wore on and his inner strength began to recover, Sabrang felt something approaching.
"Some are approaching" said Anom arrived as he felt a great energy in the distance.
"So you feel it too Anom, it seems like the smell of sulfur that Darin's grandfather said came from that person," Sabrang used the first level Saketi melting core study to draw the Fire Dragon energy back and prepare with all the possibilities.
"Gawat, in this place only me and teacher Wulan and elder Darin are left," Sabrang said worriedly.
It wasn't her that Sabrang was worried about at the moment, but if the mysterious swordsman was not well-intentioned, he thought about Wardhana's condition.
"May they not be holy temple warriors."

Khayangan Temple is a fictitious place that I created because it was inspired by Borobudur TEMPLE. Why did I not mention the name of the temple? because Borobudur Temple is a historical relic. So if I enter the name borobudur I can not be too free to explore the place inhabited by Pendekar Kalang.
So if you want to get an idea of the shape of the khayangan Temple you can imagine the borobudur temple.
The location and shape I made is almost similar to Borobudur Temple which is said to be in the middle of an ancient lake.
A little picture of Borobudur Temple that became my inspiration.
There are many experts who suspect that in the vicinity of Borobudur Temple there is a large lake. Well in the middle of the lake there is a mound of a kind of mountain that later built Borobudur Temple. Because if observed carefully is the position of the temple is not like the temple in general.
Borobudur is thought to have been built on a hill 265 m (869 ft) above sea level and 15 m (49 ft) above the bottom of a dried-up ancient lake.
Borobudur is thought to be built symbolizing the lotus flower that floats on the surface of the lake. The architectural form of Borobudur itself resembles a lotus flower, and the Buddhist posture at Borobudur symbolizes the Lotus Sutra which is mostly found in Mahayana Mahzab Buddhist religious texts (the Buddhist flow that later spread to East Asia).
The ancient lake was lost is thought to be buried by ash and Magma vomit mount merapi. (Source: Google)
Well PNA inspired by the magnificent building of Borobudur Temple in bringing up the Khayangan Temple as a place that hides a big secret or the core story of the Fire Dragon Trilogy.
