"Is this the place?" asked Fox White when he saw a lake that had been partially covered with volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Merapi.
"It should be like that sir, but where is the temple? is it possible that I was misguided," replied Candrakurama while scratching her head in confusion.
As far as the eye could see, there was only an ancient lake that they could see, there was no building near it.
"It looks like this is the place but there might be something covering the temple," Sekar Pitaloka walked up to the lake while staring at the surroundings.
"Do you see this place is too clean for a forest, even if they try to disguise it but if you observe this place is very well maintained for the size of the forest that no one has ever been to," sekar continued.
"Your observation is really good Queen Mother, so we just have to find what covers the Khayangan temple right?" reply White Fox slowly.
"Unfortunately it's the hardest thing sir, we don't know what seal they use" Sekar replied.
"Is it possible that some kind of fog seal belonged to Ciha?" ask Candrakurama.
"No, I learned the seal a few times from Ciha and was very familiar with the fog seal aura feature. This seems much stronger because I can't feel anything, this place is really no building whatsoever" replied Sekar amazed.
"We'd better wait a while, I'm sure if there's a fight Wardhana won't stay silent. I'll check around this forest, don't lower your vigilance one bit" the White Fox said before darting away.
Sekar Pitaloka who was still observing the lake just nodded slowly, he felt that there was something strange about the lake.
"I feel like something's bothering my mind but what?" he said in his heart.
"Mother queen, I have prepared a place of rest for you, please rest for a while," said Candrakurama while pointing to a large tree located not far from the lake.
"Don't you feel like there's something weird about this lake?" sekar Pitaloka.
"Any? besides half the lake has been covered in ash, maybe only the ripples of the water are a little confusing," replied Candrakurama slowly.
"Waterjacket?" Sekar Pitaloka began to understand the oddity that plagued his mind while staring at the lake.
"Some of the foliage that fell into the lake caused a wave ripple but the ripple bounced back while in the middle of the lake as if it hit something," Candrakurama replied puzzledly.
"The temple of Khayangan is right in the middle of the lake, although it is not visible to our eyes because it is covered with something but the water ripples clearly hit something. You can hide the building from humans but not from nature" Sekar Pitaloka smiled.
Sekar Pitaloka turned his head around as if looking for something before speaking to Candrakurama.
"Gather as many tree branches and make a big fireplace, I will lure anyone who is in there out and be ready to fight" said Sekar Pitaloka, who was not involved in the fire, he sat down slowly and touched the lake water.
"Good queen mother," replied Candrakurama quickly.
"Dare to touch my son, I'll kill you" he said in his heart.
Meanwhile, the White Fox who was inspecting the forest around the Ancient lake looked surprised when he saw a large enough hole covered by large rocks around the river that was right between the hills of Setumbu and Menoreh.
Feeling attracted by the hole, he walked closer to the big river that seemed to be the separation of the two mysterious hills.
"This hole looks like the lake's water control system, so there's really something hidden in this place" said the White Fox quietly.
He tried to shift the large stone that covered half the hole but to no avail.
"This stone is really heavy" he said in his heart.
"Sorry sir, you'd better get out of this place before we forcibly evict," a voice shocked the White Fox.
"I didn't feel their presence," the White Fox turned its head quickly and found four mysterious warriors wearing face coverings.
"Is this forest yours?" reply Cynic White Fox.
"We tried to speak well but you mocked us, it seems only a fight can make you understand" the swordsman gave his friend a sign to attack.
"I have received no orders from anyone including you" the White Fox pulled his machete and welcomed the warriors' attack.

After Sabrang made sure the stairs were strong to go through, Wardhana, Cokro and Hanggareksa began to descend the secret stairs in turn.
Different from the secret room whose room temperature was maintained, the dark hallway looked very damp and even smelled bad. Sabrang even used the energy of the Fire Dragon for the passageway to become bright.
"How could they build a passage this big under an ancient lake?" wardhana said in amazement when he saw the magnificent hallway that seemed to have no end to it.
"Preferably pay attention to your steps, the floor of this hallway is very slippery because it is flooded with water" Sabrang said before stepping slowly.
"How did you know that the secret chamber had a secret passage?" tanya Hangareksa. He really did not understand how Wardhana could tell if the ancient lake had a water control system and its relationship to the secret passage of very few clues.
"From the beginning I've felt that this lake is strange, the location is low and is between towering hills and with the condition of some lakes already covered with dust eruption of Mount Merapi is very strange if the lake does not overflow when it rains especially this lake also has eyes water is quite large.
Without rain, the first terrace of the Khayangan temple should be covered with water. I asked Cokro if the temple had ever been submerged in water and the answer surprised me, this lake never overflowed even though it was raining very heavily and only a water control system could explain everything.
Then the smell of flowers Wijaya Kusuma in the room is no less strange, why when we enter do not smell anything? the air that entered the room was as if it was only at a certain time. All those clues lead to one place, the lake's water disposal room.
This secret room was made for the last defense and that's why they built it with the smallest gap possible so that the room system was unknown to people. They connect the air gap to the water disposal room to keep the room temperature. When you open the water gate that unknowingly also opens the air gap in," answered Wardhana slowly.
"Unknown to the person who opened the water system?" tanya Hangareksa fast.
"If my estimation is correct, the defensive space is reserved only for the leaders and important people of that civilization" Wardhana said.
"Sacrificing a small army for the leaders huh... I'm really sick of that thought, what makes them think their lives mean more than anything else?" answer Hangareksa cynic.
"Like not to like that system that is now happening in the martial world," Wardhana took a breath of it before continuing her speech.
"The lake is built with a very high Science even far above Masalembo, the more I go deeper and know the facts of the Lemurian civilization the fear of something I don't yet know the greater."
"Hopefully so," said Wardhana lirih, he was actually also trying to believe Hangareksa speech but the facts he found so far speak otherwise.
The well-preserved Secret Room and the peak structure of the Khayangan Temple serve as a time marker as a tool to calculate the seconds of the reappearance of civilization that is somehow waiting for what to rise up.
Sabrang who walked the front stopped his steps when he saw the small door on the right side of the hall wall and dozens of flowers Vijaya kusuma on both sides of the hall.
"Uncle, look," cried Sabrang.
Wardhana quickened her pace and looked at the wall of the passageway while touching it.
"It looks like we are already in the middle of His Majesty's passage, this door regulates the amount of water present in the ancient lake and this small gap is the airway to the secret room earlier," said Wardhana slowly.
Wardhana's face changed instantly when she saw the flowers of Vijaya Kusuma in front of her.
"Have you ever been in this water disposal system?" ask Wardhana quickly.
Cokro shook his head slowly while looking at Hangareksa. "We're only in charge of opening the lever of water every sunset, we don't even know where the water will be thrown away."
"Is it possible Ajidarma?" chase Wardhana.
"It's impossible, even though he pretended to be paralyzed but I'm sure he never came out of the temple. Is there something strange about the flower?" ask Hangareksa.
"This flower is like well-maintained" Sabrang said slowly.
"Right, Your Majesty, did you see the grass growing along the passage? it is only around this flower that the grass does not grow and that means there are often come to this hallway and take care of the flowers of Vijaya Kusuma" Wardhana replied.
"Treating these flowers? there is no way that anyone would bother to go into this water disposal aisle just to take care of flowers" said Hangareksa.
"Whatever the exact reason for this has been quietly going into this hallway and if it's not you then the most likely person is from Lemuria" Wardhana replied.
"This is the river, right? anyone can enter here from the river not only the Lemurian civilization," replied the Hangareksa.
"Whoever? don't you who have lived in this place for thousands of years also do not know where the place of water disposal, how can you think other people know?" chase Wardhana pissed.
Hangareksa was silent, he actually wanted to refute Wardhana's remarks but his heart agreed with Wardhana's remarks.
"If what you're saying is true why is he just taking care of these flowers instead of coming to the Khayangan temple and taking all their belongings?"
"That's what I've been afraid of all this time, they seem to be waiting for something to rise" Wardhana replied.
Wardhana looked to be massaging her forehead while closing her eyes, a feeling of fear re-entering her mind. So many mysteries that enveloped the Lemurian civilization signaled something big was being covered up.
"Wijaya Kusuma flower has a unique characteristic that only blooms at night, maybe we can find out the reason for people who take care of this flower when it blooms later tonight. Your Majesty, we should hurry to stop Ajidarma and then come back here to look for clues" Wardhana said slowly.
Sabrang nodded slowly before continuing his journey, before long a bright light began to be seen from the end of the hall indicating the exit was close.

The flames coming from the fireplace made by Candrakurama seemed to rise up among the pile of wood.
Sekar Pitaloka did ask Candrakurama to make a fireplace as big as possible to lure anyone hiding in the ancient lake out.
The afternoon wind blowing in the forest seemed to bring smoke from the fireplace into the middle of the lake that raises a plume of smoke around the lake.
"You still don't want to go out?" said Sekar without lowering his vigilance.
And Sekar Pitaloka's plan finally succeeded when two people suddenly appeared just like that in the middle of the lake and stared intently at them.
"Fucking woman! Are you deliberately looking for trouble with us?" said one of the warriors.
"Queen's mother, be careful" Candrakurama stepped closer to Sekar Pitaloka.
"Searching for trouble? is this your welcome to the guests who come to visit?" reply Sekar cynically.
"We don't accept guests, leave before I go any further" the swordsman snapped.
"You don't have to kick me out, I'll leave after you've chopped off your heads" Sekar Pitaloka replied.
"Beheading us?" the two warriors glanced at each other before laughing mockingly.
"Laugh while you can because soon your head will be mine" Sekar Pitaloka suddenly moved to attack, seeing their unpleasant welcome, likes do not like the fight must happen and Sekar decided to attack first.
Seeing Sekar attack, Candrakurama put on her mask and pulled out the sword, the outpouring of inner power that came out of her body had surprised the mysterious swordsman.
"Be careful of the man, he is no ordinary swordsman" the two warriors welcomed Sekar and Candrakurama's attack together.

The Wijaya Kusuma Flower
In the puppet, the flower that only blooms at night this flower is often referred to as the heirloom of Bathara Krishna, the incarnation of the god Vishnu known as the preserver of the universe. Therefore, this tree is considered a plant.
In Javanese belief, the flower of Vijaya Kusuma is also considered as a condition that must be owned by a king who will ascend to the throne. That's why this flower adorns many ornamental varieties of houses or buildings in Java.
In the PNA world this flower is used as ***** (Sensor) wkwkwkwkwk
