The Fire Dragon Sword
The path chosen by Wardhana
An old man seemed to be sitting cross-legged in a room while closing his eyes. A sizable aura seemed to envelop his body, although the man seemed unable to walk due to the loss of one of his legs but did not cover the slightest bit of his strength.
A swordsman was seen knocking on the door of his room before stepping in while carrying food.
"Mr Ajidarma, I bring you food" said the swordsman slowly.
Ajidarma opened his eyes slowly then smiled while nodding his head.
"Thank you Ekawira, has your brother not returned yet?" ask Ajidarma gently.
"Not yet master, perhaps on his way," Ekawira retorted pacifyingly.
"I don't know why I never liked Mandalas and their descendants. I'm afraid the Hangareksa is being used by Mandala's descendants" Ajidarma said.
"Master don't worry too much, the kakang has a very high kanuragan science, it's not easy to beat him," replied Ekawira.
Ajidarma took a deep breath, with the condition of his body that was getting older he did not know until when he could guard the Khayangan temple, especially after Arda sukma brought the Sabdo Loji.
Ajidarma feels that sooner or later there will be able to solve the mystery of the existence of forbidden civilizations in the book.
"What do you really think, son, I've prepared you as my successor to guard this place. Are you really tempted by the book?" ajidarma said in his heart.
The disappearance of Arda Sukma did hurt Ajidarma very much, other than because he was his favorite student, the younger brother Hangareksa was prepared to lead the swordsman Kalang.
His gentle nature and not ambitious towards Kanuragan Science actually made Ajidarma interested to choose Arda Sukma as his replacement later. But in the end it never happened because arriving one night, he disappeared with the book.
"Chairman is back, chief is back," the sound of shouting from outside was clearly heard making Ekawira smile.
"Master, the leg is back" said Ekawira slowly.
Ajidarma looked relieved as he nodded his head, before long Hangareksa knocked on the door of the room and stepped in.
"Receive my respect, sir" said Hangareksa, bowing his head.
"Rear," Ekawira stood up and saluted.
"What about the book?" ask Ajidarma.
"If you have found it, sir" Hangareksa took a book from his pocket and gave it to Ajidarma.
Ajidarma scrunched his forehead as he looked at the book before staring at the Hangareksa who then nodded back.
"Keep, you who have found it means you have to keep it," said Ajidarma slowly.
"Thank you sir, I will keep this book good so that it does not happen again" replied Hangareksa.
"Ekawira, can you leave us, there's something I want to talk to him about" said Ajidarma, turning to his student.
"Okay sir, excuse me first," Ekawira replied quickly before stepping out.
"Is there anything you want to explain to me? you're not thinking of tricking me with that fake book, are you?" ask Ajidarma after Ekawira leaves.
"Sir, actually I brought someone to meet you, he will explain everything" replied Hangareksa quietly.
"Someone?"
"Come in" said Hanggareksa, looking out.
"Sukma Art?" Ajidarma gasped in surprise when he saw Wardhana step in while opening the face cover that is usually worn by Kalang warriors.
"Sincerely sir, my name is Wardhana" Wardhana said as she lowered her head.
"Wardhana?" Ajidarma turned towards Hangareksa as if asking for an explanation.
Hangareksa then explains her encounter with Wardhana and the possibility that she is a descendant of Arda Sukma.
He also explains all of Wardhana's plans to frame someone among those suspected of being traitors.
"So you're saying there's a traitor between us and you want me to believe it? we were together long enough before the book disappeared, no one could have tried to betray me" Ajidarma said in a slightly raised voice.
"Maybe this is the reason Arda Sukma took the Sabdo Lodge because as hard as he explains you will not believe" answered Wardhana quickly.
"If he were to speak to me directly maybe I would believe it but in the end he alone eroded my trust in him," Ajidarma retorted softly, looking disappointment adorning his face.
"If he said everything then what would you do? calling all warriors without proof will only arouse suspicion between you and Arda Likes not wanting that to happen.
Maybe he was suspicious of someone among you who wanted to master the book but did not have any evidence so he decided to endure it all himself by saving the book. If my estimation is correct, no one holds more firm oaths of loyalty to guard this place than Arda Sukma," said Wardhana full of confidence.
Ajidarma turned towards Hangareksa, the plain face of Arda Sukma reflected back in his memory.
"Sukma, is it true what he said? why don't you talk to me first" said Ajidarma lirih, he could not imagine the burden that must be borne by Arda Sukma alone just to save the book.
"Sir, Wardhana came to help us find out who the traitor is and clear Sukma's name" Hangareksa said.
"Cleaning the name of Sukma? do you know who it is?" ask Ajidarma.
"I don't know yet, but if my plan works, he's going to take off the mask he's been wearing himself" Wardhana replied.
"There is nothing wrong with trying master, however, no one can guarantee that one of us is not tempted by the book of heirloom" Haggareksa assures.
Ajidarma looked at Wardhana for a moment, he was really amazed by all the plans he made.
"Can I ask you to join us?" ask Ajidarma slowly.
"Sorry sir, I am very proud to know that my ancestor was one of the great warriors but I have found my own way of life and I have sworn allegiance to Malwageni.
But you don't have to worry, right now we have the same enemy and I will continue my ancestral vows to guard this place even in a different way" Wardhana replied politely.
"The same enemy?" Ajidarma scrunched his forehead.
"Mandala has risen again, sir, at this time it is likely that the original Sabdo Lodge book will be in their hands and sooner or later the hidden secrets of the book will be known" Hanggareksa said.
"And we intend to stop them" Wardhana said quickly.
"I'm not surprised if he gets up again, that means they've mastered the seal of immortality. The book really brings big trouble" Ajidarma replied, taking a deep breath.
"Your observation is very sharp young man, you really remind me of Sukma," Ajidarma gave Wardhana a sign to approach.
"I can't tell you because you've chosen a different path from ours but I want to tell you one thing. Nature holds so many mysteries and perhaps all we know today is just a small dot within a large circle.
The Sabdo Lodge is just a doorway to get out of that little spot to the next secret. Is Sabdo Lodge able to uncover all the secrets that exist in this big universe? no, once again there is something that is created not to be known by anyone for our own good.
We used to call them forbidden civilizations, because they should never have existed in this world. They defy nature with pride as if nothing is feared and when nature begins to act, only a small part may survive the wrath of nature. The forbidden civilization teaches us not to play with nature" Ajidarma continued.
"Great jagad?" ask Wardhana confused.
"That's all I can tell you, son, if indeed you are sent to replace Arda Sukma, I'm sure nature will give you the way in its own way" concluded Ajidarma slowly.
Ajidarma then asked Hangareksa to lift his body to the bed.
"Give Wardhana the best room in this Holy Temple, we will see if your plan will really succeed in uncovering what exactly the purpose of Sukma is to take the book away. It's time for me to rest, this body is getting weaker and weaker," Ajidarma said with a smile.
"Thank you sir for accepting me so well" Wardhana replied softly.
"This temple is always open to the descendants of Sukma, I must thank you for trying to uncover all of this and clear his name."
***
After Wardhana goes with Hangareksa to Khayangan Temple and Emmy returns to Rainbow Falls with Lasmini to take care of the injured Wulan, the White Fox invites Sabrang to meet Ken Panca.
Sabrang looked surprised after hearing Ken Panca return to the dark side of the universe to research something important.
"He said he found something interesting and probably related to the book of Sabdo Lodge" said the White Fox.
"Related with Sabdo Lodge?" asked Sabrang confused.
"During the battle on the mountain of the field, he accidentally discovered an ancient record inside the last gate. Initially, Panca wanted me to keep this matter a secret before she confirmed the truth. Until finally he asked me to come bring you to discuss the possibility of his relationship with Sabdo Lodge" replied the White Fox.
"An ancient record on Mount Padang?"
"I don't know for sure, we better quickly go to the Dark side of the universe" White Fox said before darting away.
Sabrang then followed the White Fox with a confused face, he still could not believe if there was a possibility of Nagari Siang Padang's relationship with the book of Sabdo Loji.
After moving for quite a while, they arrived at a small crack that was the entrance to the dark side of the universe.
"I don't seem to have to warn you anymore about the air pressure here" said the White Fox, who was met with a wry smile by Sabrang.
Sabrang continued to follow the White Fox from behind without any difficulty, his increasingly powerful body no longer having trouble moving under the air pressure of the dark side of the universe.
Ken Panca seemed to welcome them under the foot of the mountain that was in the middle of the forest.
"Follow with me" said Ken Panca, showing him the way to the hut that Guntoro used to hide in.
"What have you really found on Mount Padang?" sabrang asked as he followed Ken Panca from behind.
"Something that seems to be being sought by the forces of the Holy Temple" replied Ken Panca.
"Incited by them?" sahut the White Fox.
"Mount Padang seemed to have been their hiding place before it appeared at the end of Swarna Dwipa and joined Arkantara. The record that the White Fox master read contained the possibility of the place they were looking for and if my estimation was correct then their goal was not only to take revenge on the past but also to master something that was currently hidden in a place," replied Ken Panca.
