The gatotkaca 2050
Five Pandavas
The day began at dusk when horses driven by Arjuna, Nakula, Sadewa and Eagle entered the court of Astina's palace. The eagle riding on Nakula's horse felt a pain in his ass. He was not used to riding a horse, the pain hit.
“Weight once your body, Lang.” While parking his horse, Nakula grumbled at the Eagle.
“Gini-rich body, not suitable to be a knight,” said Sadewa who followed behind who also wanted to put his horse into the stables. There are a lot of horses in it.
After making sure the horse they were carrying was comfortable in its stable, Nakula and Sadewa escorted the Eagle into the palace. The fat man with messy hair swept every corner and detail of Astina's palace filled with gold and silver.
The floor is cold, because it is made of natural marble that is shiny and slightly reflects the mirror-like image. The park around the palace that amazed the Eagle, there is a stream like a small river that comes from a waterfall near the cliff.
Dozens of pairs of eyes of the guards and courtiers, looked at the Eagle with a gaze that made him uncomfortable. Until finally he was in a pendopo decorated with a large lion skin carpet, which stretched long from the entrance to a stage on which there were five chairs made of gold.
Arjuna was seen talking to two men, one very large body, twice the size of a normal human, even more. A huge snake wrapped around his body until it formed like a feather scarf worn around his neck. A sharp object protruded from his thumb nail, the man wore black pants with a checkered black and white cloth. There was no crown on his head like the youngest twin or Arjuna. But everyone respects him. He was Bima, the second son of the Pandavas.
While the other man looks more dignified, his face radiates shade and compassion. The crown she wore was tall and more beautiful than Arjuna's. His robe was golden in color, just like the throne the Eagle was looking at right now. There was a light emanating from his head. It was Yudhishthira. The eldest of the Pandavas.
Bima turned around, facing the Eagle. His face was visible, his thick mustache and the crackle on his face failed to hide the fangs from his teeth.
“Who is it, Nakula?” The golden-robed figure stared at the Eagle.
The big man with a snake on his body approached the Eagle who was very enthusiastic because he met the five Pandawa brothers. Quickly, his hands swung, preparing to hit the Eagle with his pancanakan nails. But prevented by his brother.
“Bima, this boy is not a threat. Let him talk.” Yudhishthira then invited his brothers to sit on their thrones.
“Mo-Please excuse me for being presumptuous. My name is Eagle. I come from the future.”.
Uncompleted Eagle finished his words, Bima kicked down the table that was in front of him. Making wine glasses and fruit trays made of gold on the table was upside down spilling the contents.
The eagle looked very frightened. But fortunately Yudhistira again calmed his brother.
“Sorry. Please continue the story.”
“I deliberately came to this time, because the future needs the help of a knight named Gatotkaca
The entire pair of eyes in the room stared at each other in wonder, except for the Eagle.
“There is no such thing as Gatotkaca here, young man,” sergeant Yudhistira who this time looked at the Eagle with a sharp eye.
Bima stood up to the Eagle, his big hand untied the snake wrapped around his body, then put it on the Eagle's body.
“The switch can detect lies,” this time Arjuna spoke up from his seat. “ Speak. If you are honest, the snake will not harm you.”
“Ka-If I lie?”
“Today is the end of your life. The snake will swallow you round and round.”
Cold sweat began to drip down the Eagle's face, his life now at the tip of the horn.
“Please story.” Yudhistira spoke up again. His four other brothers sat on his throne.
The eagle gulped, with the remnants of his courage he began to tell stories.
The snake wrapped around the Eagle's body moved slightly, but it still stared intently at the face of the person it was wrapped around.
“The city where I live in the future is being attacked by aliens, there have been many casualties because of the creature. Using a time machine belonging to a friend, I came back here to ask for help on Gatotkaca..”.
BRAKKK!
Bima again kicked the table in front of him. This one knight rarely spoke, he always responded to something that made no sense to him with actions.
“Young man, there is not a single knight named Gatotkaca here,” rebut Yudhistira. There was actually a deep hesitation in his heart, as the huge snake that Bima used to detect lies did not react to the Eagle's words.
“There, just haven't appeared.”
“Who is this Gatotkaca?” Cut Arjuna.
“He was a very strong knight. Descendants of Bima and Dewi Arimbi, a princess from the kingdom of Pringgandani.”
Hearing what the Eagle said, Bima immediately stood up with a mace ready to be hit on the head of the stranger who called his name.
“Hold Dimas Bima,” said Yudhistira with full authority. “Please continue.”
“I am not lying, because the story of the Pandavas is written in the epic story of my time. In the near future there will be a Bharatayudha war that will involve the Pandavas and the Kauravas. A terrible war, many knights who died in that war. The Pandavas would win the war, but at the expense of the Sage, and also Gatotkaca himself.”
“You're a fortune teller?” Sadewa watched the Eagle from head to foot. Sometimes he holds a sweater worn by an eagle.
Eagle shakes. “Sa-I know for reading her story. In the near future Bima will open land to the west of Amarta forest which is directly adjacent to Pringgandani, a giant nation kingdom led by Arimba. This is a will of the Gods, with the aim of bringing Bima together with Arimbi. In order for them to get married and have a child named Gatotkaca..” Eagle stops the story and then continues again, “can I ask for a drink first?”
Yudhistira, the supreme regent there, clapped his hands with a smile. Before long came the palace ladies bring a cup of drinks from the squeeze of grapes and also the fruits served to the Eagle.
Regardless of his fear of the huge snake wrapped around his body, the Eagle drank the wine tasting water served to quench the thirst in his throat that had dried up since being chased by giants.
“Son of Bima and Arimbi, will later become king of Pringgandani in place of Arimba. But there will be tough tests for him. Because actually Gatotkaca is a child who will be made a weapon by the gods to fight the gandarwa army, when they will attack Kayangan.”
There was no reaction from the snake belonging to Bima used to test the honesty of the Eagle. The five Pandavas finally agreed to release the snake from the Eagle's body.
The fat man let out a long sigh, he felt relieved that the huge snake was no longer in his body.
“Your body is good,” said Nakula while once again noticing the Eagle black sweater.
The dim light of the torch that lit around the palace Amarta made the golden color in the palace more yellowed and sparkling beautifully. The eagle is still among the five Pandavas, the fear in his heart is now gone because it turns out Yudhishthira welcomes him as a guest.
While enjoying the dinner, a body wrapped in cloth wrapped around his body and a crown on his head entered, he floated with clouds at his feet.
“Greetings, Kangmas Krishna,” says Yudhistira followed by his four younger siblings.
The figure of a clean white face with a sharp nose and light behind his head was looking at the eagle, then he whispered something to the eldest brother of the Pandavas.
The two engaged in a serious conversation, occasionally the two people stared at the Eagle. Not long after, Krishna came out of the palace of Astina with the clouds he had been riding on when he came.
“You're right, Eagle. The Gods ordered Bima to immediately clear the land to the west of the Amarta forest. Forgive us for doubting you.” After Krishna's departure, Yudhistira then invited the Eagle to return to enjoy the dishes served. “We have prepared a place for you to spend the night, tomorrow morning maybe our youngest brothers, Nakula and Sadewa will take you around in the kingdom of Astina.”
