The gatotkaca 2050
Gatotkaca Born

The silence in Astina's palace suddenly broke, as the sound of the roaring of the horse's legs rang out and spurred the carriage he was carrying at high speed.

A large horse-drawn carriage entered the palace gate and then stopped right in front of the stairs leading directly to the throne.

Bima came out from inside the carriage, her normally calm face this time looking extremely panicked. She is not alone, in her lap there is Goddess Arimbi who is moaning in pain. Her stomach was enlarged, she was pregnant with a son.

Some palace cantrik rushed to help Bima. Although he was already king in Pringgandani, he was still the guest of honor in Astina.

“Quick bring it inside!” yudhistira said to Bima while telling his cantrik to prepare a room for them.

Arjuna, who had just returned home from hunting, immediately approached his first brother. “What's up, Kang Mas?”

“Neither, if I see it looks like Dewi Arimbi will soon give birth.” Yudhisthira took his brother by the shoulder, and then invited him into the palace.

“How is it possible? Kan only nine days kang mas Bima married.”

“Will of the gods,” replied the Eagle who had directly run from the garden beside the palace, where he used to practice.

“What?” Arjuna quickly turned his head towards the Eagle.

“The will of the gods. They do want the child to be born soon, there will be a big plan from the gods against the baby.”

There was actually a sense of disbelief from Arjuna over what the Eagle had said, but given what the child from the future had said it was always right to happen. He was silent just listening.

The wind suddenly blew into the palace when Yudhishthira, Arjuna and Eagle were sitting on a chair in the palace pendopo. Not an ordinary wind, but it was the arrival of the king from the kingdom of Dwarawati. He came up in the clouds, and came down before them.

“Greetings Kang Mas Krishna!” Yudhishthira and Arjuna paid their respects, while the Eagle lowered his head only slightly.

Charismatically, Krishna greeted the two brothers again. Then nod his head to the Eagle. Without saying much, he went into the room where Bima and his wife and some cantrik were.

Shortly after Krishna entered the room, the sound of crying babies was heard. The baby of Bima and Dewi Arimbi has been born. But his own birth was not perfect, he was still wrapped around his umbilical cord that was wrapped around his body.

The baby boy was carried by his father out of the room, shown to his older brother, Yudhishthira. Brother, Arjuna. Also Eagle.

The handsome man then took a knife to cut the umbilical cord that was coiled on his nephew's body, but the knife was broken in two. Yudhishthira tried to cut with another knife, but again failed.

“How is it, Kang Mas Krishna? What happened to my baby?” bima said with a tremble.

“There is only one weapon capable of cutting its umbilical cord, but the weapon is far from here, and guarded by a powerful hermit.”

“Where is it, Kang Mas?” search Arjuna.

“In a forest close to the country Alengka.”

“Hu—Hutan Bajubarat?” peekik Arjuna was surprised.

“The weapon is a keris, his name is Kunta Wijaya. Weapons forged and made by the gods.”

Arjuna let out a long sigh, held it for a few seconds then exhaled it. “Alright, I'm going to the Bajubarat forest to find the whereabouts of the weapon.”

“I'm coming!” sambar Eagle, followed by a sharp eye from Krishna, also Arjuna.

“No need,” replied Arjuna coldly.

“There are many obstacles there, hopefully I can help to pass it.” The eagle tried to convince the knights who were there, even though he himself did not know what obstacles he would meet. But his confidence increased after successfully killing the giant in the kingdom of Pringgandani, and also the genie Banaspati a few days ago.

Just now Arjuna would answer the words of the Eagle, but was stopped by Yudhishthira. “Let him come. You can take care of each other, besides this child has great fighting talent.”

“Hmm... All right. but remember, don't bother!”

“Ready!” The eagle gave a thumb signal. He then went into his room to prepare himself with his favorite black shirt and sweater, Petruk's sword was put aside on his back and he wore a backpack.

Five minutes later, the two knights were ready on horseback. They were about to start a horse, but Nakula and Sadewa stopped them.

“Lang, Eagle. Wait a minute!” yelled Nakula from inside the palace.

“Use this.” Sadewa gave her a dress made of snake skin.

“This what?”

“Yesterday came here, but you left with Sadewa. It's just like the clothes you wear, there's a head covering and it can protect you.”

Eagles spread a cloth made of snake skin, then look the shape of a sweater without arms. “Whoaaa.. Kereeeen!” Removing the sweater used, then replaced with a new one he got. “Lighter and cooler. Thank you, Nakula, Sadewa.”

“Thank you to Antareja, he gave it to you,” Sadewa said.

“Alright, I'll tell him later.” The eagle stared at Arjuna, then nodded slowly at the sign that he was ready to leave. “Come Kang Mas Arjuna, we leave.”

The white horse driven by Arjuna began to drive away from the royal palace grounds of Astina, Eagle then followed with his brown horse. The two walked down the streets around the kingdom of Astina, looking at the residents who bowed their heads in a sign of respect as Arjuna passed by.

The Kingdom of Astina is a form of government with a prosperous people and also the life of the people is far from poor. They respected Yudhishthira as a generous king and always wanted to help his people in distress regardless of the man from any caste.

You could say that their king is a typical leader who always protects his people. This is all evident from the welfare of its people, most traders who sell in the square which also serves as a market are immigrants from other kingdoms who want to find luck in Astina.

Horses driven by Eagle and Arjuna began to enter the outer regions of Astina, soon they would enter the borders of the kingdom of Astina with the forests of Amarta.

Without them knowing, the Duke of Karna also had the same plan as Arjuna. He wanted to find Kunta Wijaya, a weapon forged by the gods.

An ancient record discovered by Karna, contains about the magic weapon. Makes him want to have it to use******all his enemies if a war is forced to break out in the near future.
