THE FIRE DRAGON WARRIOR
CH 3'S. The Dark History I

Hasea was standing where she stood. His body was standing there but clearly his mind was staring into the past. His blank gaze indicates that he is thinking about something, his memory is like re-reviewing past events. The story of how this all began, the story of the bitter times that ultimately charged him and his grandmother.

***

Hariara Village, a small and remote village that used to be one of the places that became a paradise for those who depend on the results of farming. The people there live well, safe and peaceful. Everyone is also satisfied from the results of his peasant although it cannot be said to be excessive as well.

The village does not require the guard of royal soldiers or mercenaries because even though the village is part of the Naginjang Partungko kingdom, its remote and remote location makes Hariara village escape the attention of the kingdom or the robbers. In the village there is also no one who controls the martial arts or just wants to learn it.

But a new chapter towards the village's misery begins when a Royal Army led by one of the commanders comb the village in search of a pair of royal fugitives.

For days the royal soldiers ravaged the village to complete its mission. Various ways they do ranging from torturing, burning housing and even killing innocent citizens.

The fugitive in question is a husband and wife with one child. Listi and Marlu name the couple. Based on announcements posted in various corners of the village by royal soldiers, Listi himself is a servant in the Naginjang Partungko kingdom who has an illicit relationship with a man named Marlu who is a swordsman from the black school.

The kingdom strictly forbids anyone in the royal circle to come into contact with the black stream. Listi is not only related to the black school she is married to one of their warriors and from the result of their love is a boy.

The village chief was the first to fall victim to the arrogance of the soldiers, whether it was the royal decree or indeed because of their original attitude like that, the soldiers treated the citizens very harshly and brutally. No hesitation they slashed his sword at the citizens who were considered not to help them in the search.

But Mr. Malawu as the head of the village can not do anything because in addition to helpless, Mr. Malawu also does not feel have a citizen named Listi or Marlu. He also never knew if any of his citizens had ever worked in the royal palace.

The images shown by the soldiers did not help at all. Actually

The royal soldiers have also given up on their search because they understand very well the wanted fugitives also would have changed their identity and appearance of stature to avoid the kingdom. Perhaps that is also what makes the prajuraks more arrogant in the midst of their despair. For years they have been searching in vain. For years they could not meet family. Almost all the places they went to they were destroyed but the results ended the same. Vain.

That afternoon, the sun was entrenched in its place as if confirming that that day there would be a massive massacre. The commander lowered his orders to the chief soldier. "Gather all the men and women of 25 to 30 years" he told the head soldier. " Good commander" replied the chief soldier with a little stammering due to the distressed aura of the great Commander.

All the citizens aged 25 to 30 had been forcibly gathered by the soldiers in an empty courtyard. A total of 50 people out of the sum of them all. No citizen can fight. They were aware of a sudden movement that could take their lives away instantly. All the people aged 25 to 30 were gathered while the remaining residents including parents and children were forced to watch from a distance.
