The Javanese Land Swordsman
The Queen of the North Sea
Two days after the battle against the fleet of Karel Doorman. The Northern Sea Royal Palace had already started working as usual.
Rantamsari's hatred of humans continues today. Sometimes he did not hesitate to kidnap human children to serve as subordinates and sink the ship that approached his palace.
However, there are still those who dare to approach it. In fact, some people dared to face him. Like these two men kneeling to her.
Bima whispered, “hoy Krisna...! How'this? Didn't I tell you I'm not good at words, why are you pointing at me?”
Kresna replied, “Sultan Mataram who has appointed you, He must have a certain reason.”
“Although you said so..”
“So, what's your purpose for coming here?” Rantamsari said in a high tone.
Feeling depressed in Bima. But it was not fear, but rather a very high admiration for the figure in front of him. He was also nervous about not being able to speak.
Krishna then said :
“As before, we want to offer to cooperate with you, Kanjeng Ratu.”
“Hhhmmmpp... What's in it for me?”
“Hamba sure, Kanjeng himself hassles with last night's incident.”
Offended Rantamsari heats up, “what did you say? You think I'm having trouble fighting them!?”
“That's not what I mean, but if something like last night happens again then... Kanjeng won't be able to last longer.”
The North Sea Abdi Kinasih stood up immediately. They want to kill Krishna. No exception with Lanita. He had already prepared sharp claws in his hands.
“Although you are an incarnation of a god, if you speak longer, I will not hesitate against you!” snapped it.
On the other hand, Bima stared worriedly at Krishna. Eyes full of anxiety as if to reveal 'what did you do?'
“Quiet, Lanita!” Rantamsari stood up while staring at the two humans who were in front of him.
“What does Kanjeng want to do against them?” ask Lanita.
“I was thinking about something to him, I mean to the young man, whose name was earlier... Bima yes...? Hamengkubuwono must be planning something.”
Rantamsari hinted at the Kinasih Abdi to return to their seats
“Now it's your turn, Bima.!” whisky Krishna.
“Ha? What should I do.?”
Bima could only quietly see Rantamsari walking closer. Getting closer, she felt an incredible amount of beauty and elegance.
“If not wrong, the figure inside you is one of the troops of the Kidul Sea, is it really?” ask Rantamsari while moving seductively.
“I-iya, Kanjeng.” their distance is very close, to make Bima nervous and swallow.
“Hhhmm? Apaan turned out not to be one of the higher-ups there huh..” sontak Rantamsari laughed, “wahaha... What Hamengkubuwono thought.”
“Not a higher-up? I thought Nyi Blorong was quite influential there?” Bima confusion. Nyi Blorong himself chose to be silent.
“Nyi Blorong you said!? I can't believe a stubborn child seems to want to submit to you.”
Nyi Blorong was irritated and showed himself behind Bima's body, 'you still talk a lot like before'
“Hahaha.. You finally showed up Blorong.”
'My ears are hot to hear your babble, old grandma'
Rantamsari and Nyi Blorong fought like women in general. However, they look familiar from a different point of view.
“Anu.. Excuse me...! Let me interrupt for a moment, there is something I want to ask,” Bima raised her hand.
“What is it, Bima?” ask Rantamsari.
“Kanjeng Ratu said about the higher ups in the Kidul Sea, can you tell me more?”
“Well, did he not tell you?”
“That's how, he doesn't want to talk about it.”
“Actually many powerful subtle creatures are subject to Queen Kidul, but there are three high-ranking genies who become her right hand.”.
Queen of the Kidul Sea, her true identity is the figure of an angel who descends from kahyangan. He went down to the South Java Sea and conquered all the jinn there.
Applicable to the law of the jungle, Nawangwulan became a figure glorified in the South Sea. Then he changed the name of the angel. Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Kenconosari, such is his current full name.
When she became queen, Kenconosari chose three jinns who would serve her directly. He raised them and gave them nicknames.
The first one is called Simbok Nyai Kidul. He is the closest to Queen Kidul. On the other hand, he sometimes appears to humans who are tirakat. Then Simbok Nyai Kidul will offer a power, provided that the person wants to be an ally.
Nyai Riyo Kidul. The genie figure who is in charge of regulating the core of the kingdom. As is the security of the rebellion and from without.
The last one is Nyai Rara Kidul. All Javanese people are no stranger to that name. He served as a patih who dealt with the outside of the kingdom. Such is the case with the supernatural inhabitants who live in mountains and forests.
“...Eehhh!? I thought Nyai Rara Kidul was his queen.” said Bima.
“Horally, he is the one who most often appears in humans so many rumors like that,” explained Rantamsari.
“And also I did not expect, it turns out that Queen Kidul was from the story of seven angels.”
“Truly confusing story.”
“You're right, I don't understand all that myself.”
“Ehem..! Looks like you're used to it, Bima,” Krishna who stood smiling towards Bima.
“A-ah.. Not so I mean, Kanjeng Ratu. I was too carried away,” Bima directly bowed to the Queen of the North Sea.
“Bwahaha.. quite interesting young man.Then as your punishment, I will give you a test,” Rantamsari walked to the side with a condition to keep his head.
“Hhhmm?”
“It happens that once here there is also a similar ability Nyi Blorong,” Rantamsari hinted Lanita to approach.
It was directly inside the palace hall. In front of the audience Bima and Lanita stood in the middle of the hall.
Rantamsari sat on the throne and said :
“Then, please start the duel!”
They both pulled out sharp, hand-curved weapons. The difference, only limited to snake fangs and dragon claws.
Ctaang..! Ctangs..!
Like looking in a mirror, they fought in a very similar style. The way they swung the weapons made no significant difference.
In a moment, the momentum of the two weapons caused some distance between them. Then Lanita took a deep breath, then let out a fire from her mouth.
“Ouh.. hot, Damn dragon!” Bima can only dodge. He couldn't get close at all.
Bima continued to move while looking for a gap between the flames that continued to gush. He was a little proud at the time of not being able to use magic.
Bima waited until Lanita stopped the spray. But after a few bursts, Lanita appeared crashing from behind the flames that had not disappeared completely.
The impromptu attack succeeded in making Bima cornered. She was also more troubled as Lanita's attack style suddenly changed.
“With this ability, you want to save the land of Java? You must have been lucky to beat the dedemits.”
“Aarrhh!” Bima was bounced off by the attack. He got back up with gasps.
The fight continues. To cover up his weakness, Bima observed the opponent's attack and imitated it.
“But your eyes are not bad, let's see where you can survive, Hiyyaaaahhh!!”
Rantamsari witnessed the fight. The difference in their strength was too obvious. The experience in the previous battle was very influential.
But on the other hand, Bima has a great observation technique. Maybe if it could last longer, she could catch up with Lanita's ability. Everyone in the audience knows that.
Lanita also noticed. He always moves in variety. Making a new movement so that Bima does not predict it.
The plan looks successful. The queen's eyes also saw Lanita who was dominating the duel. 'The win already looks yes' that's how he thinks. Until then...
“What was that.?”
“I can't see it.”
Bima who had been breathing breathlessly pointed fangs at Lanita. The woman looked shocked at what had happened less than a second ago.
One of the serpent's abilities is terrible. It moves straight in very high acceleration. In fact, it is faster than the blink of an eye when its prey is right in front of it.
“You won young man, I underestimated you too much,” Lanita fell with the position resting on both arms.
“As you said just now, I was just lucky,” Bima reached down.
“A.. Geez, is there still a human like this?” muttered Lanita while receiving Bima's help.
“What do you mean?”
“Nothing.”
When both humans are natural. But when humans are with familiar subtle-creatures it is abnormal. Usually the relationship of the two creatures is only limited to using each other.
This rare occurrence attracted the hearts of the Queen Kanjeng who sat looking at them. He was amazed to see the unusual happenings between humans and jinn.
Rantamsari slowly descended from the steps of the throne and approached Bima. Then he said to her :
“Excellent Bima, very amazing show, now come with me!”
“Where?” ask Bima.
Without answering Rantamsari immediately pulled Bima's hand. He still forced even though Bima thrashed.
“Please go around for a while Krishna, I want to borrow Bima for a while.”
“Understanding Kanjeng Queen... Then Bima, good luck!”
......
“Anuu... Kanjeng Queen?”
“iya?”
“this place..?”
“Hihi.. Welcome to my private room, Bima.”
“Aapa!?”
A very luxurious room. Gold and some diamonds adorn the walls of the place. Then there is one large mattress that has a very beautiful carved wood.
“Maybe this is a little disrespectful, but let me ask you something to Kanjeng Ratu,” ucab Bima.
“Rantsari.”
“Ha?”
“Call me Rantamsari.”
“Aa.. t-ta-but that's..”.
“It's okay, I told you to call so.”
“Then, Aunt Ran-”
“You didn't hear me yes, Ran.tam..sari,” Rantamsari came close completely to make Bima fixated.
“But when the name directly it a little..” Bima wants to dodge, but the distance of their faces is getting closer and making himself helpless, “Ah... alright alright, so please step aside!”
“Hehe.. thank goodness to understand,” Rantamsari walked backwards.
“You won't kill me right?”
“Bwahaha.. You have a bad sense of humor.”
“But I'm not kidding, anyway why can I laugh until it's like that.”
“I thought you were kidding.”
Then a quiet atmosphere approached the room. For a moment Bima looked at the woman before her awkwardly.
“Ehm.. alright, so gini Rantamsari...”
“Huumm..” Rantamsari nodded happily.
“Unfortunately the delicate creature needs sleep?”
“What I guess.. turns out just a silly question.”
“That bothers me a little.”
“But isn't that a natural thing? Bima must have heard the figure of a genie who fell asleep for thousands of years, right?”
“It makes sense anyway. but if it is like this..”.
“True also yes...before that sit first,” Rantamsari sit tapped hands to the mattress. Hinted for Bima to sit next to him.
With doubt Bima comply with Rantamsari request, “alah.”
“Like Nawangwulan, I used to be an angel in kahyangan.. although not one of the seven honorable angel.”.
“Then why did angel Rantamsari get here?”
“The story is long, back then I was just an angel who craved freedom and decided to descend into this world, then....” Rantamsari lowered his head with a heavy-sounding speech.
“Sorry.. Sorry. don't continue if it bothers you.”
“Thank you,” Rantamsari looked at Bima As if remembering with someone in the past.
For a moment they were silent to each other. Bima looked around naturally. He may have started to get used to a woman's room because of the incident with Laras back then.
“Bima.. will you sleep with me?” Rantamsari stared and spoke in a seductive voice.
“You tried to play me? It no longer works for me.”
“Again? Don't-don't Bima have ever slept with a woman?”
“Eh!? Why can you conclude like that?”
“Cih..! What is clear, the woman is definitely a strong rival.”
Bima does not deny it. Because he himself thought that Laras was a strong person.
“Bima, you were asking about me sleeping, right?”
“Iya anyway..”
Rantamsari stood up and walked towards several steps in front of Bima.
“Svarg kee abhivyakti!” For a moment Rantamsari's body gave off a dazzling light.
“Great! So beautiful, you are more graceful in your current form!”
Both wings span the back of Rantamsari. A small crown on his head. Plus her blue dress makes her really pretty.
“I thank you,” Rantamsari small smile.
Then Bima realized something in those wings. It was as if the two white wings wanted to disappear from Rantamsari's body.
“Rantamsari, the..?”.
“You've already noticed it..? You're right, this isn't just your feeling.”
“So what Kresna said earlier is true..?”.
“I'm upset, but it's true... This is because I have never returned to the kahyangan, I cannot replenish my angel energy.”
“Therefore you do sleep?”
“You're right.”
“Then why don't you go back up to kahyangan only.”
“Can't, I can't possibly go up there again.”
