The Javanese Land Swordsman
Hope of a Girl

“...At first I didn't understand it either. Why would I have this kind of power? But I feel this has something to do with my parents,” Bima said

staring at ceiling.

“Have you asked Nyi Blorong?” ask Laras.

“That's..”

“Then?”

“Don't know he said, but I feel he's hiding something.”

“Isn't he currently hearing you?”

“True..”

That vague answer left Laras confused“ah alright, I won't ask again.”

“While Baras itself, why did it reach this kingdom?”

“Hhhmm.. true also yes, I have asked your past, it is appropriate that I answer your question.”

“You mind then..”

“I'll tell you, it's almost similar to your story and also not good enough to hear... I also lost my parents, but I still remember well with all of them.”

.....

Since he was a child, the House of Laras was not Harmonious. He has a father, a mother, and an older brother. There was no night without screams in their house.

I am a drunk and I love to play with my hands. The printing is what he usually does. Then the victim who is always used as a portico, is the mother.

It was too early to know what had happened to his family. Therefore, Laras asked the older brother. But every time he was asked about it, his brother replied 'This is family, Laras will understand someday'

The older brother was the only man he trusted. Due to the nature of his father like that, Laras looked bad at men.

Adit, that's the name of the brother. He was always quiet when his parents quarreled. Adit no longer cared as if giving up on his life.

On the other hand, to the size of a girl as innocent as Laras, she was quite tough with all of this. He still always hoped for miracles to come and change his family.

Until that event arrives. An event that re-changed his life. The faint shadows disappeared, then were replaced with absolute darkness.

At first, the night was as usual. The father's emotions echoed like passing nights. But they don't know that it's their last night together.

“Aaaarrrrggghhh.”.

That mouthfight suddenly turned into a more serious thing. The father held tightly to the mother's neck and pushed her against the wall. That's when the figure of the creature dedemit possessed him.

The father's expression changed rapidly while suffocating. Fear, anxiety, despair, all negative feelings felt by the mother when she saw it. It was almost unrecognizable, as if what he saw right now was someone else.

“Aa.a.pa the k-you...?”

“Not yet, all this has not satisfied me.”

The father's grip is getting stronger. All the organs of the neck feel collected into one. Mother's grip is nothing compared to father's.

Kraakk...

No more muscles felt. The mother was immediately dropped after losing her life.

Laras who saw the incident immediately met his brother, “mas..! Mas Adit.!”

“What's the Barrel? I told you to leave them!”

Barrel pulling hand Adit, “But.. Look!”

Adit who had been relaxed, became more serious. His gaze leads tensely to the father. Then he said, “who are you?”

“Who? He's our father.!”

“Daddy.. you said.?”

“Not yet.I'm not satisfied!” The father looked slowly at them, then immediately lunged.

“Laras!” Adit immediately pulled his sister to dodge.

Unable to go through the front, they ran towards the kitchen. Adit who tried to fight, threw all the kitchen furniture. Although sharp objects such as knives hit, but the father can still walk.

“What the fuck is this? Zombie.?”

“How's mas...? Ms. ms..? By Aa.dit?”

Adit remained silent. Even though Laras was tugging at his sleeves, he was still silent. On the other hand, the father suddenly smiled.

“But right..”

“Quick go! Mas Adit... Bii.sa menahannya again,” Adit turned stiffly with a creepy face.

“A-a..” The barrel at that time just thought that he was just annoying. So he left confidently.

“Hhaa.. aahh.it looks like a-me..”.

Adit picked up the pot, then lunged and laid it on the father. From the other side he was also hit hard.

Jdga... Jdaak..

They fight like wild animals. Without rules, martial, they hit unscrupulously.

The kitchen is no longer in shape. All the tools are scattered as they wrestle. They move without thinking about things around.

Plaarrs... Plaars...

In the quietness of that night, only that place sounded crowded. In the countryside, each house is quite far away. So that no one can be aware of the event.

While at that time Laras ran towards the moor. Little girls should be scared, but not for her. She was still sure her brother would pick her up.

He ran towards a large tree beside the corn garden. The barrel stood behind it while making a wish. Of course, he wanted the elder brother to come to him immediately.

He closed without hesitation. The girl was seen shining under the starlight. A sparkle that radiated as if it wanted to pierce through the sky.

It was then that he allied himself with the demon who possessed him. Temptations thrown out could not break Laras' heart. Their souls united, forming a new personality.

“Kkkwwaaarrhhh..!”

When there was a figure approaching him, Laras immediately moved. As if his instincts had been sharpened for a long time, he immediately took out an arrow and thrust it at the creature that wanted to grab a grip.

Previously, Laras could not see the creature. But as he approached, he realized that the figure he had killed was his older brother.

But Laras was not sad. A new personality makes you think more mature. 'If I don't stop it, it'll cause a lot of korba' that's how he thinks. Despite saying so, he no longer knew what life would be like.

Cracks.. Cracks..

“If not wrong, one of them just ran here!”

It was then that a man in brown and black striped clothes found Laras. He was stunned to see the girl standing before the corpse.

“What's up?” one of the other men ran over.

“This...!?”

Then they brought Laras to the Sultanate of Ngayogyakarta. The five princesses of the king decided to adopt him.

.....

“.... That is, tonight's fairy tale is over,” Laras got up, then groaned the drawers.

“Are you okay, Laras?” ask Bima.

“It's okay,” Laras held out a rectangular object towards Bima.

“What is this?”

“See you already know, right? The cellphone! Mobile!”

“Terus?”

“Here is a picture of this building floor plan, so you will not get lost again.”

“You mean..? Isn't there a barrier?”

“The magic has a pause every time, therefore... hurry up!” Baras forced the phone, then pulled and pushed Bima out.

“Ta-but you..”.

“That's silence!”

“Tu-”

Brak's...!

If the problem of staying one room, actually Laras still does not mind. But-the

“...I can't show this pitiful face to her... Hisk..”
