The Fire Dragon Sword
Wardhana's concerns
Wardhana touched the large stone in front of her after the White Fox made a small fireplace for lighting. He stared at the stone as if it was designed for a sleeping position but at the top was given a gap for blood to drip down.
Wardhana seemed to smile with relief because although the stone looked much larger but he was sure the shape and strokes of the stroke were the same as those in Dieng.
"Although much larger, this offering stone is really similar to the one in the Red Valley of Dieng," said Wardhana slowly while touching the small strokes on the large stone.
"Rock offering? so you're saying a forbidden civilization is doing worship at the expense of someone?" asked the White Fox in surprise.
"It seems so master though I'm not sure this is their original tradition, but this stone was clearly designed to break down the body of a "chosen" person" and this slit was used to hold the blood of the sacrificial offering before it flowed down through this stroke," Wardhana pointed at a small siring on the large rock that led downwards.
Wardhana was silent for a moment before walking around the stone, she tried to recall the story of how Ciha could open the gates of the Dieng red Valley but as it was presumed the matter had been solved with the destruction of the place, she was trying to recall the story of how she was able to open the gates of Dieng's red Valley, Wardhana didn't listen too much to his words.
"So under this stone is there really a room that they use as an offering room?" ask the White Fox slowly.
"Are you going to go to great lengths to bring the blood-stained body of the sacrificial offering to a place far enough from here? I'm sure the offering room is not far from here and if Dieng's concept imitates this place then this is where the room is" Wardhana stomped his foot to the ground.
Wardhana's face changed instantly as her eyeballs followed a small indentation she thought was where the victim's blood had dripped.
"Master, can you get me that fire?" pinta Wardhana as she pointed at the fireplace the White Fox had made, she continued to notice the small strokes on the stone all leading to the ground.
"Hopefully all my guesses this time are wrong," said Wardhana with a stifled voice, he realized that if the concept of this stone is the same as Dieng then his suspicion on Ken Panca is getting stronger.
The White Fox, who knew the meaning of Wardhana's words, immediately grabbed the two burning logs and pointed them to the side of the stone.
"Wardhana, the gust of wind is on this side" said the White Fox quickly as it watched the fire in its hand move as if it was being blown by the wind from within the rock.
Wardhana immediately ran up to the White Fox and inspected the stone.
"Now we're just looking for something lever-shaped or something like that around here," Wardhana jumped on the rock and watched the surroundings.
"The hallmark of a stepped pundent building like this is a trigger lever to open and close back this secret room, I'm sure the lever is near this stone," said Wardhana slowly.
"Didn't you just say that this place is almost the same as the Dieng Red Valley? should you remember where that lever is?"
"Unfortunately it wasn't me who opened the Red Valley, I came a little late" Wardhana replied quickly.
"Is that so? so we're just gonna have to find something lever-shaped around here?" The White Fox suddenly jumped on top of a large tree so that the view was wider but as hard as they were looking for no stone or lever around the stone.
"Did you find anything sir?" shouted Wardhana while looking up at the tree.
The White Fox shook her head slowly, "There are no stones or anything in the shape of a lever around here, are you sure the Red Valley opens with a lever?"
"No way, I still remember Ciha once telling me that she managed to open the gates of the Red Valley with a lever. Is the concept of this stone a little different?" wardhana replied softly before a voice startled her.
"The Chamber of Knowledge cannot be opened without the offering of the blood of the chosen man, the Light of heaven and the element of life will always guide the chosen man to open the red gate," Ken Panca suddenly appeared from behind a tree.
"Mr Ken Panca?" said Wardhana slowly before turning towards the White Fox.
"I woke up from my sleep and found you guys not in the hut so I decided to look for you out of worry" replied Ken Panca quietly.
"That's it. you know we're coming to this place" replied Wardhana slowly.
"I was just guessing because this place also caught my attention," replied Ken Panca calmly.
"So you've known about this stone for a long time?" chase Wardhana.
"Not really, I started checking this place after finding fire bomb records. This stone is what I want to show you," replied Ken Panca who this time looked a little nervous.
"And the word you said just now...?"
"The cave? Can you take me there?" ask Wardhana back.
"But this stone." Ken Panca is not done talking, Wardhana has cut his words.
"I'm not not uninterested in this stone but those of you who have been in Dieng for a long time must understand that this place is a clone of the Red Valley and must be quite difficult to open the gate. For a while now, I just wanted to gather all the information regarding the dark side of the universe while waiting for His Majesty to return."
The White Fox looked surprised at Wardhana's reply as if giving up, she still remembered very well a few seconds ago the Sabrang confidant was so eager to open the stone gate of worship.
"Well, I'll take you to the cave" replied Ken Panca puzzled. Just like the White Fox, he also felt that there was something strange about Wardhana who too quickly gave up on the mystery of the gate of worship.
"It looks like he deliberately lured me to solve the mystery of this worship stone and that means he hasn't found the lever either. What exactly are you planning?" wardhana said in her heart as she followed Ken Panca from behind.
"This time his attitude was really strange, did he already know my secret? no way, I've been very careful since I decided to come out of the dark side of the universe," Ken Panca continued walking in the darkness while occasionally turning his head towards Wardhana and the White Fox.
"It was in that cave that I found firebomb notes and also about the knowledge room," pointed Ken Panca towards the white fog that was in front of them, and pointed it out, faint faintly visible was the mouth of the cave behind that fog.
"This cave..I never remember if there was a cave in this place?" said the White Fox inwardly as he watched the mouth of the cave which was seen getting clearer as they approached.
Before being confined to the dimension of space and time, the White Fox had indeed spent her time training on the dark side of the universe and as she remembered there had never been a cave near the worship stone.
"Well, was it me who didn't see this cave? but how is it possible because almost all of these places I have explored" he said in his heart.
"That's the writing I mean," pointed at Ken Panca as they entered the cave.
"The cave is quite small.." Wardhana approached the writing on the cave wall and grabbed it. "This cave seems to have been buried long enough and just reopened" Wardhana said in her heart as she felt a little moisture in the cave walls.
"The Room of Knowledge cannot be opened without the offering of the blood of the chosen man, the Light of the heavens and the elements of life will always guide the chosen man to open the gate___red..." Wardhana notices the last word as separate from the main sentence.
"Red? why did the writing seem to be separate," Wardhana kept trying to recall the story of Ciha when she managed to open the gates of the red Valley.
"Red gate? even the name is almost the same as the place you call Dieng Red Valley, I am increasingly clueless with all these mysteries," said the White Fox arrived before stepping out of the cave.
"I'm sure it won't help you much, I'd better wait outside" he said slowly.
"Names are almost the same? Red gate? Red valley..wait..." Wardhana then touched on the "red" text that was separate from the main sentence before his face suddenly changed instantly.
"So that's it.the Devil tribe of fighters...." Wardhana held her breath before paying attention to the surroundings.
"So that's why Ken Panca took me to this cave and didn't talk at all about worship stones" Wardhana said.
"Did you find any clues about the gate of knowledge?" ken Panca asked arrived.
"In addition to this writing, there doesn't seem to be any leads, sir, it looks like we should start the investigation from the beginning" Wardhana replied softly.
"Starting the investigation right from the start, it looks like you're right, we'd better go back to that hut first and start rearranging this mystery together," ken Panca replied softly as he stared at the sword in Wardhana's hand before stepping out.
Wardhana was completely unaware that her facial expression had changed upon touching the inscription on the cave wall was reflected in her sword sheath and it was clearly seen by Ken Panca.
Wardhana nodded slowly while following Ken Panca's footsteps from behind.
"Did something happen when he first found Dieng?" wardhana said in her heart as she stared at Ken Panca's back.
