The Fire Dragon Sword
The Great War VII
The first thing Wardhana felt when setting foot at the bottom of the hole after going down the stairs was the smell of stinging flowers Wijaya Kusuma who came from a dark hallway before him.
With this very pungent fragrance, he estimated that there were dozens or maybe even hundreds of Vijaya kusuma flowers at the end of the hall.
"What exactly does the flower have to do with their civilization? almost in every hidden corner of Khayangan Temple overgrown with flowers Wijayakusuma" said Wardhana in his heart.
"This hallway is so dark, isn't there a light source or anything that illuminates it?" ask Sekar confused.
"There should be a Queen Mother, if the building and peak of the Songo temple were made by the same civilization then the lighting system was the same," Wardhana felt the cave wall, and the cave was, he still remembers if the lighting in the Kenteng Songo cave is a small shingle on the cave wall that contains oil to deliver fire.
And sure enough, once Wardhana made sparks from two stones near the cave wall, the fire immediately grabbed and spread throughout the cave wall.
All were silent after the blaze of flames illuminated the cave, their eyes unblinkingly staring at the pitch-black cave wall with the garnish image of a lotus flower on the water.
"Lily flower?" Sekar Pitaloka scrunched his forehead in confusion. In his mind, the walls of the cave would be filled with clues regarding the forbidden civilization but the estimation was wrong, the entire wall of the cave was only filled with images of lotus flowers blooming on the water.
"It seems they want to show that the Lemurian civilization lived like a lotus flower. Lotus flowers need water and mud to survive. Although the environment can be said to be dirty and smell bad, but the situation does not prevent him from showing the beauty of the flowers and awake to stay clean.
This is like illustrating that humans actually still need each other, even in bad people though. The meaning of the life they live is so high" replied Wardhana slowly.
Wardhana approached the cave wall and touched it again, for some reason she was more interested in the rocks of the cave wall than in the lotus flower.
"This rock is as if it's emitting a strange energy, is it just my feeling?" wardhana said in her heart.
"You feel it too, don't you? kalang swordsman has a privilege that no one else has, we can feel if there is something strange with nature and this stone like being the center of weirdness that has been happening," said Hangareksa quietly.
"Center weirdness?" Wardhana turned towards Hangareksa asking for an explanation.
"Have you ever heard that once Nuswantoro land was a dry place and not a single plant could live here before the power of the seven red mustika Pomegranate made this land fertile again? there must be a reason why Nuswantoro used to be so dry and maybe this place is the cause" replied Hanggareksa.
"So you mean these rocks absorb natural energy to make it dry?" ask Wardhana quickly.
"That's just an estimate but I definitely feel these rocks are indeed absorbing the energy around them" replied Hangareksa slowly.
They continued to step into the cave with their hearts, the strangeness began to occur when Wardhana and the others had gone deeper. Their bodies became heavy as if they were hit by a large rock, the situation became increasingly difficult because the cave seemed to point upwards.
Wardhana and the others felt like climbing a high mountain but through an underground path.
"True to my guess, these rocks do absorb natural energy," said Hangareksa in his heart.
Wardhana again stopped his steps to rest for a moment, in contrast to Sekar and Hanggareksa who have a large inner power so that they can overcome the pressure of the cave wall aura, Wardhana felt that his bones were almost destroyed.
Wardhana set her breath slowly before stepping back, she even had to be helped by Cokro to walk.
"You okay, sir? you should not wait here and let us check this place out" said Cokro worried.
"Do you think I'd miss just looking at the most advanced civilization that's been buried for a long time?" reply Wardhana slowly.
"But your body..."
"I'm fine," Wardhana quickly cut.
The suffering that Wardhana felt seemed to pay off when he saw a door that was carved so beautifully at the end of the cave.
"We're almost there" said Wardhana eagerly.
(Illustration of the main gate of the forbidden civilization)
"So this is the gate that has been hiding the Lemurian civilization?" said Hanggareksa amazed.
"We better hurry in," Sekar Pitaloka who was impatient immediately shot in through the door made of pitch-black stone.
"So the forbidden civilization is indeed inside here?" Sekar Pitaloka stopped right at the end of the door while staring at the amazement of the ruins of the former settlement.
(Illustration of the remains of the ruins of the Lemurian civilization, note: The shadows of all the buildings are pitch black)
"Welcome to the place where the Book of Sabdo Lodge originated, Suroloyo Peak," said Wardhana was no less amazed.
Although some buildings have been destroyed but not able to close the magnificent civilization. The very detailed and complicated water system of a large lake surrounding the building signifies they are very friendly with nature.
"Where did everyone who lived here go?" ask Sekar Pitaloka confused.
"Maybe somewhere much more hidden than this place" Wardhana replied as she stepped inside.
"We should not be separated while we are here, I'm afraid there is still something left between them and hide in this place then look for an attacking opportunity to arrive. Find what you're looking for as soon as possible and we're out of this place" Sekar Pitaloka said slowly.
"Okay, queen mother," answered Wardhana quickly, he then stepped into one of the most magnificent buildings of all.
It is Wardhana's custom to inspect the most magnificent buildings if he finds an ancient civilization buried because he believes important records will be stored in the most sturdy place so as not to be easily damaged.
But this time the guess was wrong, the building contained only a luxurious coffin covered in white cloth, no records of anything around it.
"He would not have been an ordinary person if until a building of this size was built to store his corpse, could he have been the supreme leader of the Lemurian civilization?" hangareksa said as he stepped closer to the coffin and opened the white cloth that covered it.
His face changed when he saw a fairly long inscription engraved on top of the coffin.
"Hey, is this what you're looking for?" said Hanggareksa fast.
Wardhana who was watching the walls of the room to look for clues of the Lemurian civilization immediately walked over, she felt the writing before reading it.
"Thousands of years since the sky rock of Satam hit the Nuswantoro mainland, we began to feel the terrible effects of the stone. This land energy began to dry up because it was sucked out by the stone. The drought began to be felt because almost all water sources dried up except the large lake due to the impact of stone Satam.
"Stone of Satam did make the Lemurian civilization and the Atlantis tribe that coexisted to develop but also slowly destroyed it again. The natural energy that was sucked up for thousands of years by each piece of celestial rock created a powerful energy energy that began to terrorize us. The fire demon was the strongest energy created from Satam stone.
"On the cunning advice of the Atlanteans, we began to make offerings with a collision to control the Fire Devil and other evil energies but they only grew stronger and killed nearly half of our population.
*We did not realize that the Atlanteans were silent in creating a study that could control the evil energy and put all**nya into an heirloom they made from Satam stone including the Fire Devil*.
"The tribe of Atlantis easily subdued Lemuria, an heirloom that contained a combination of evil energy that was really strong and did not give us the slightest chance to fight. When all hope was almost gone, the fire demons they initially managed to control arrived to fight, the strongest energy was precisely to strike back the Atlantis tribe until all were killed.
"Our supreme leader finally decided to sacrifice himself and seal this place with a Jawi Fiber study to confine all the evil energy in this place before we went to find a new place and forgot all these bad events. With the Jawi Fiber Seal, Satam stone will not be able to absorb natural energy again and all demons will be locked in this place with the ambitions of the Atlantis tribe."
Wardhana was seen holding her breath for a while as well as Sekar and the others. They finally know the root of all the problems that have occurred so far from this place including the Book of Sabdo Lodge.
"So the Fire Dragon was created from the evil energy that this stone absorbed for thousands of years?" ask Sekar Pitaloka in disbelief.
"Not only the Fire Dragon, but all the sword spirits in the martial world belong to the mistress of the concubine. We're right on the matter" Wardhana replied in a trembling voice.
"In trouble?" Hangareksa scrunched her forehead.
"This record says if the Jawi fiber Seal would confine all the evil energy in this place right? then how could the Fire Dragon and the other energies now be in the martial world? it seems like the Jawi Fiber seal has been weakened or deliberately weakened by someone so that the Fire Dragon can get out of this place" Wardhana said quickly.
"How can you think someone is weakening the seal? isn't every science any seal will weaken over time" replies Sekar Pitaloka.
"Hamba had heard that the Vijaya kusuma flower could supposedly weaken seal science and that was the reason the Sky Star sect forbade the flower to grow around his sect.
"The "hundreds of wijayakusuma flowers that grow along this cave do not grow by themselves, there was someone who planted and cared for this flower with the aim of weakening the Jawi Fiber seal and it seems to be working because our current land is slowly drying up again" Wardhana replied softly.
"Wait a minute, please, if anyone returned to eyeing the Evil Energy including the Fire Dragon wouldn't it be easier to catch him while he was confined in this place than to weaken the seal and get the Fire Dragon out of this place?" tanya Hangareksa is confused.
"What if it's not the Fire Dragon they're after? this record clearly says that the Fire Dragons are uncontrollable and cause their own destruction. They may want to create new energy that is easier to control and much stronger by making the protective seal thin so that the Satam stone re-absorbs natural energy" Wardhana replied.
"more powerful? is there anything stronger than the child's inheritance?" hangareksa.
"If Nuswantoro's energy could create a Fire Dragon this strong then what about Nuswantoro whose energy is now fused with the Red Pomegranate heirloom? can you imagine how much energy Satam has absorbed all this time?"
"It will be much stronger than the Fire Dragon" said Sekar Pitaloka.
Wardhana nodded quickly and asked everyone to leave the place as soon as possible.
"The queen mother, this time where the Lemurians are located is not important anymore because from this record they are people who do not like to fight so it is impossible to harm us, he said, now our job is to destroy the entrance to this place and remove all the flowers of Vijaya Kusuma so that the seal is closed again" said Wardhana quickly.

Princess Andini was sitting in a holding room with a pale face, her eyes still watery, signifying the immense pressure she felt during her confinement in her own kingdom.
For Andini who is used to living luxury, being in prison obviously makes him tormented. Revenge was the only reason that kept him from enduring the suffering.
Andini still hoped that Malwageni knew his current condition and sent an envoy to release him even though it was very difficult because the guard around the detention room was very tight.
"Are you Miss Andini?" a voice broke his daydream, he looked at the masked man with a confused face.
"It seems that I have got the answer, please step back a little miss," said Candrakurama before slashing the iron bars before her using a sword filled with deep strength.
"Who are you, sir? do we know each other?" ask Andini scared.
"Mr Wardhana asked me to save you and bring you to the battlefield to prevent Saung Galah's forces from attacking Malwageni, we better hurry before it's too late" replied Candrakurama slowly.
"Attacked Malwageni?" Andini looked surprised, after being forcibly locked up by Pancaka a few days ago, she did not hear any news anymore.
"I'll tell you the full story on the way but certainly at this time we have to be fast because Pancaka is leading the Saung Galah army to attack Malwageni with Arkantara," Candrakurama replied.

Satam Stone
Batu Satam is a typical Indonesian rock found on the island of Belitung, Bangka Belitung Province. This stone is black and has distinctive veins.
Satam stone is included in rare rocks because it is formed from the results of natural processes due to the reaction of meteor collisions with layers of earth that contain high tin millions of years ago. The fragments of meteor rocks are scattered throughout the world such as Australia, Czechoslovakia, Arabia, and in Indonesia precisely on the island of Belitung.
When falling on the land of Belitung island, this meteor reacts with a very large amount of lead contained on the island of Belitung and absorbs it, thus forming a black stone which is then called Batu Satam. Because of this process Batu Satam is only found in Indonesia and becomes a rare rock that is hunted by rock collectors around the world.
In the PNA story, Satam stone or "Vibranium wakanda" Indonesia became the center of all the chaos in Nunswantoro.
