The Javanese Land Swordsman
Bonding
“Krisna, What is it? Umbrella?” ask Bima.
“Yes, this is Songsong Tunggulnaga, an heirloom that protects the palace at night,” said Krisna as she spread her silvery umbrella.
“Wwooaahhh... I can feel the powerful aura that radiates,” Bima stared in admiration, “can I hold it?”
Kresna smiled for a moment, then handed her the umbrella, “of course!”
“Whoo Aa..a-what the fuck is this? Very heavy!” Bima can hold it for a while. Until then he was brought to his knees by the heirloom.
“What do you think?” Krisna calmly took back the umbrella.
“What is that thing? When held not too heavy, how is it... as if my own body refused to the heirloom?” Bima stood up while cutting down her clothes.
“You still remember not about the god who transformed into Jamus Kalimasada?” Krishna closed the umbrella.
“Ya, continues?”
“Songsong Tunggulnaga is the incarnation of the god's ally, or rather the god's vehicle.”
“So yes.. but why are those two things in this place?”
“Good question... Long ago in the Mahabharata era this land was the kingdom of Amarta, you already know right?”
“Amarta...? Hhhhhmm.. I don't know.”.
“What the hell do you know about the Mahabharata..? Forget it, if you really want to find out, find it yourself..! I'm going to go.”
“With that heirloom?”
“Yes... I'll check it at my place, because there were reports that yesterday there was an intruder that was not detected.”
“Ha-” Bima also reacted immediately.
“What's Bima? You want to say something?”
“No, no, I was just a little surprised... why could that person get away.?”.
“Entahlah.”
In our hearts we are thankful that Krishna was not aware of it.
“Then, until later!” Krishna stepped away.
“Ya,” while Bima is walking in the other direction.
....
Not long after Bima started training, Krishna approached her with a girl.
“You are already quite proficient yes, Bima.!”
“Hwaa! You surprised me Krishna.!” Bima lost her concentration. He looked around and saw Krishna with the girls.
“Hahaha.. Sorry, sorry.”
“Keep why are you here? And who is this girl you kidnapped?” Bima did a momentary stretch.
“While I am an incarnation of a god. Even in the same person as you?”
“Mantan..” Bima walked closer.
“Then I cannot deny... More importantly, introduce..! Fatim, from now on he is your student.”
“Eh.?”
“And Fatim..! This man is Bima, he will teach you.”
“Wait..! Don't just decide it dong..! I'm a teacher? Really, what can I teach you?”
Krishna approached and whispered into Bima's ear, “Do I want to reveal the events of last night?”
“Aa-? Y-you.?”
“So your decision?”
“Aahh.. All right, but what can I do?”
“He was possessed that was similar to you... Lately, he is often haunted by a shadowy figure at night.”
“I understand,” then Bima bent to the equivalent of Fatim, “what is creepy for Fatim? From now on don't worry, leave this problem to Mas Bima!”
“Iya.. Fatim please cooperate!” the girl nodded innocently.
Kresna smiled, “turned out to be familiar with yourself too you!”
“Did Krishna forget that I have a sister?”
“Good, then I don't have to worry anymore... See you later!” Krishna walked away.
....
“Now where to start.?” Bima stood looking at Fatim while holding his chin.
“Hhhmm?”
“By the way since when did Fatim start being haunted by that shadow?”
“Yesterday is the sixth night,” replied Fatim.
'As you think Bima, this has something to do with the battle that night, ' said Nyi Blorong in Bima.
“What does that mean.?”.
'Remember the Keris Nogo Demon? That thing sealed Princess Genowati's power, you must understand my point'
“So yes.. So Princess Genowati began to rise in the body of this girl.”
“Mas Milky.?”
“Ah.. yes?”
“Mas Bima really whispered by himself from earlier.”
“Learn..? Just so you know, Mas Bima was just communicating with the demon who possessed the body... Take it easy, Fatim will definitely be able to!”
“I will try!”
“OK, we start learning!”
Bima tried as much as possible to give instructions to Fatim. Starting from the most basic thing, which is mental.
A possessed human being must have a strong mentality. He must have confidence, and not be afraid of the so-called dedemit.
Then Bima also told Fatim to meditate and feel the figure inside him. So that the girl can communicate with the figure.
At first Fatim was terrified. He told Bima that he saw terrible things. Then Bima calmed her down gently. Eventually, Fatim was able to concentrate again.
Fatim who tried hard, reminded Bima when the beginning of her stay in this palace. He looked at the girl with a happy face.
It didn't feel like almost a month Bima was here. Quite a lot had happened until he had gotten used to this place.
It is far from modern. However, Bima can adapt quickly. But he knew this was not his original purpose.
“Destination yes..? Being a hero maybe.?”
The wind blew carrying leaves as if they were flowing.
“Romo? Romo has arrived yes.!” Fatim waved a hand at someone.
Then Bima also looked. He looked at the figure of the man wearing the clothes of a royal member. The man was none other than a coach named Wira.
....A romo? If not wrong, it is Java
Bima just kept watching them approach each other.
“You've been trying hard... My daughter!” said Wira serambi stroked Fatim's head.
“Iya Romo, this is also thanks to the help of Mas Bima.!” sahut Fatim with spirit.
After that, Wira walked towards Bima. Then the coach reached out, “thank you for taking care of my daughter!”
“Aahh is nothing,” a little nervous Bima shook hands Wira.
“Fatim..! Just continue your training..! Romo wants to talk to Mas Bima.!” wira.
“Well, Romo.”
Fatim continued his training. While Bima and Wira observe not far from there.
“Sit..!” said Wira.
“Alright,” Bima sitting next to the patih.
“Do you still remember your family?”
“Eh? No, why did uncle suddenly ask that?”
“At first I was surprised, should the spirits from the southern ocean can only possess the descendants of the Mataram Kingdom... Then after investigation, you are indeed one of them.”
“I just knew it.”
“Do you know the two founding figures of Mataram kingdom?”
“Harming and Tilt, is it?”
“Exactly...! Means I don't have to explain.”
“Means the point..I am the descendant of one of them, right!?”
“Ya, but Bima..! you don't seem surprised?”
“After the events of all this, I was no longer surprised.”
“Alright, I'll tell you more.”
Patih Wira said that he was actually also a royal descendant. Just like Bima, he was a prophet from Ki Ageng Giring.
Their nasab met Bima's great-grandfather, who also became the grandfather of Patih Wira.
“Although never face to face, we share information about dedemit.. Until then we broke up communication fourteen years ago.”
“Fourteen years ago.?” Bima also thought about what happened to his family. He now had a reason to fight.
Bima wants to uncover the events of fourteen years ago, as well as meet his other family.
