The Fire Dragon Sword
Black Stream Region
"Hey miss will be until when you will sleep" Sabrang woke Mentari from his sleep. Mentari opened his eyes, his face flushed instantly as Sabrang's face was only a few inches across his face.
"Tu.... Young master what are you doing?" Mentari was upset because this time Sabrang teased him for the umpteenth time.
Sabrang laughed with satisfaction at Mentari's angry behavior every time he woke her up.
"You're always angry when I wake up" Sabrang looked at Mentari who was still putting on an upset face.
"Basic fool!!!" The sun swore in the heart.
"I'm going to find some food, just wait a minute". Sabrang got up leaving the cave where he stayed with Mentari. It had been days since they had left the Purple Kencana sect but had not seen any sign of the existence of the settlement.
They were forced to stay in the cave they had encountered along the way.
Mentari again recalled his meeting with Sabrang the first time, seen his face reddened. He did not expect the young man who helped him escape the clench of the black Scorpion was a Prince Malwageni.
Before long Sabrang had returned with two rabbits in his hands. He handed it to Mentari to be processed into food. Not to forget back he teased Mentari who made her face red again.
After they ate Sabrang back to practice the science of internal energy. He recalled clearly not being able to do anything in front of Dayun from the Demon Sword Sect. He must keep getting stronger.
Once in enough taste he opened his eyes, his hand was covered in thin Ice which soon melted.
"Ah the energy in me is still lacking, I have to keep practicing" he murmured. Not far from the place where meditating seen Mentari was practicing the sword.
"The basic skills of your sword are starting to show, you just need to get used to practicing. I will teach you the Eternal Fire Sword if your energy is enough".
Mentari nodded slowly, he did ask Sabrang to teach him martial arts in order to take care of himself.
"Master has been walking for days, but not yet seen a village though. Shouldn't we change course?".
Sabrang shook his head slowly, he was sure the direction was right because according to Mantili the direction of the cetho hill was indeed the direction they were headed.
"No, miss, we have to walk forward, I'm sure the direction is right".
.............................
"Where you run, sweet lady, you're free to run, we'll catch you". There was the sound of a violent laugh of some swordsman who was chasing a woman.
The woman ran with all her strength, her eyes shedding tears. He ran like a fidelity without looking back. His face was pale with fear. He realized if the warriors managed to catch him then that was the end of his life.
He didn't want to imagine being caught by them.
The longer the distance between himself and the warriors chasing him was getting closer. He felt very desperate and wanted to cry as hard as he could.
When his hopes were almost dashed he saw a woman practicing the Sword Arts. Reappears his lost spirit.
He ran as hard as he could towards the woman. The mentor who was practicing the sword noticed the arrival of the woman and was surprised to see the swordsman chasing behind her.
"Miss swordsman please help me" The woman clashed behind Mentari.
"Who are they, miss?" Mentari held his sword in a standby position. Not yet had the woman answer the pursuers were already in front of Mentari. They smile cunningly.
"I didn't think today we could get two beautiful girls sir" one of the warriors said to his friend.
"This woman is prettier, she's my part".the man approached but kept his distance as Mentari swung her sword at the man.
"Drop your sword, lady, come with us well good".
"Don't dream of you, go before you make me angry" Mentari bullied the warriors before him. His heart gurgled, he realized it was no match for them. Mentari was taught swordsmanship by Sabrang but he only learned a few days.
They laughed mockingly at the threat of Mentari, while the faces of Mentari and the woman turned pale.
"Where is the stupid Prince, why is it that at a time like this he disappears" He looked at the woman behind him then whispered "Run, I'll lure him".
The woman shook her head, she did not want Mentari to be caught while she survived. He picked up a branch and was ready to attack with Mentari.
"Alright go ahead you two" The man went forward to attack Mentari and the woman beside him.
Mentari swung his sword but it could be avoided easily by the swordsman. Other warriors attacked and captured the woman he was chasing easily.
The woman struggled but the man's grip was too strong.
Taking a few steps back he looked confused in the face of this situation. He bit his lips, his hands trembled holding a sword, his eyes almost shedding tears in fear.
"Well, smart lady, hand over your sword and surrender". A warrior tried to persuade him.
"Away from him" Sabrang appeared suddenly arriving from behind them.
They turned towards Sabrang with an annoyed face "Go away and don't interfere, Assume you don't see what".
Not finished the swordsman spoke Sabrang's body was in front of him.
"The Father of the Eternal Ice God" the swordsman's body bounced backwards. Part of his body was covered in ice.
"Hurry up" One of his friends took a standby look at Sabrang's rapid movements.
"Strike him" the Swordsman gave the order. They moved together to besiege Sabrang.
Sabrang holding his sword, suddenly his body disappeared from before the warriors who surrounded him.
"Rajawali Dance" Suddenly the bodies of the warriors collapsed sectika. They were knocked unconscious by Sabrang's sword sheath.
"You okay, miss?" Sabrang approached Mentari who was still in shock over the incident.
Mentari nodded slowly, he felt relief after seeing Sabrang by his side.
After successfully mastering the state of Mentari walked towards the woman who was not far from him. The woman looked at the greatness of Sabrang swordsmanship.
"You okay, miss? Who they are".
........................
"Oh so this is the territory of the Black Wolf Sect?" The woman nodded slowly. He still shed his tears recounting the incident that his village experienced.
Two days ago his village in Serang group of Black Wolves, all the women who were there were taken by them. Only Gayatri managed to escape. But his hiding place is found and pursued until Sabrang saves him.
"I beg you to help our village, I see the Swordsman's ability is very high" Gayatri kneeled pleading.
Mentari was seen shaking her head to signal Sabrang to reject her.
"Well lady I'll try to help you, how far is your village from here?".
"Half day's journey sir" Gayatri's face sparkled to hear Sabrang ready to help her.
"Let's show you the way, miss" Sabrang signaled Mentari to be ready.
"Master must be careful, this has entered the territory of the black sect lest they know the identity of the master who comes from the white arm, it will be very dangerous". The whispering mentari warned Sabrang.
Sabrang nodded slowly and randomized Mentari's hair.
"Let's just relax, our lady just needs to be careful" again looks reddened sun face.
