The Javanese Land Swordsman
Kadiri Maharaja
“Don't-don't, I'm dead?” Bima panic is not a headache.
“No, take it easy it's just a little bit of my ability... Shouldn't you be no stranger to rogo sukmo studies?” the woman kept holding Bima's hand and pulled her.
“Rogo Sukmo...?”
“It is a study that can remove the soul from the body.. It should only be done for yourself, but for some cases it can also be directed at others.. Huuaaahh.”
“But later I can go back to my body right?”
“Ya.. just relax.”
“Ehm.. Don't forget me.”
Bima turned to the other side, “Eh Nyi Blorong..!? You're here too?”
“Y.. I am also interested in being forced by him.”
“So yes.. But by the way, that feeling of your true form is half a snake.. This is it..?”
“If you want, I can also change like a human... How..?” Nyi Blorong tried to flirt. Of course at that time Bima's view went straight towards the side of the circumference.
“The seductive creature is indeed great,” Bima tries to look away.
“Of course it is.” Nyi Blorong approached and hugged Bima.
“Ehh..!? W-what are you doing..? Don't come closer like this!?” Bima pushed Blorong who kept trying to stick.
“Why? Don't we usually just blend like this?”
“It.. Mung-maybe right, ta-but... Ahhh.. Just stay away from me!” Bima was feeling very nervous.
“Whahaha... Yes, yes,” Nyi Blorong took his hand off Bima, but only took a little distance from her.
“Haahh.. More importantly, who are you?” bima asked the mysterious woman on the other side.
“Oh yes. sorry forgetfulness, hehe... Just call me Daha... You must be Bima, and the one next to you is Blorong.”
“It looks like you already know us.”
“Ya, more or less so.”
“What is this? Something long connected to me?”
“It is your life energy that connects between soul and body.. And only you can see it.. You can use that if you want to get back into your body later.”
“Then, where are we really going? And until when are you going to keep holding my hand?”
“Why? Don't you like it?”
“I don't mean that... It feels strange flanked by two female demits like this.”
“Not polite yes.. I'm a human.. More precisely the human who has moksa.”
“Daha.. Then moksa..? Uh don't-don't..?”.
“It looks like your head is not empty, can think also turned out.”
....
A very famous place in Kediri City. No, it could even be said the entire island of Java. This is the place where the figure of a great man lifts himself up.
The building consists of a Linga and a Yoni that fused into a bead. It is surrounded by a concrete fence and has 3 entrances. 3 The entrance is said to be a picture of life; it includes birth, adulthood, and death.
“So this is the place.”
In the center of the building there is an object from a square shaped stone like a tomb. It looks like there are two people. A man dressed like Daha with a woman dressed in green was sitting solemnly.
“Finally you guys came too, tired I waited,” the woman turned towards Bima and the others.
“Oohh.. You are here also yes ” said Nyi Blorong in a mocking tone.
“You know him?” ask Bima.
“Ya, even very close.”
“From the beginning you never changed huh.. Though with his own mother still said like that,” the woman in question approached.
“Mother.!?”
“Yes that is the reality, he is the one called Nyi Rara Kidul,” Blorong said.
“Looks new this time yes.. You look at me directly,” Rara Kidul looks at Bima's smile.
“Now I remember, Ni Mas Ratu Pagedongan the moksa went to the South Sea.. I can't believe he's the real man from Nyi Rara Kidul.”
The man dressed similar to Daha got up and said, “because everything has gathered, let's just start.”
“Do not..tou Daka?”
“Yes, and you must be Bima.”
“I didn't think I could meet you guys, two patih who were quite famous in his time... Anu's.. How do I call you guys?”
“No need to be formal, after all we do not assume that position anymore.. So just call it like before, Adhi doesn't mind right?”
“Yes, I don't blame it kang mas,” replied Daha.
“Then, we start the summoning ritual,” Daka again sits facing the stone in the middle of the building.
“So we will do that yes... But what can I do.?” ask Bima.
“Sit..! Just follow our words!”
Around the stone coffin, they sat down facing the middle. That night there were no stars to watch the buildings and trees around.
“Om namah sri maha ganatapaye.
“Om namah sri krishnaya.
“Jaava kee raat jo aapane kaha tha, he mere raaja.!”.
He was between the darkness of the horizon, a light opened there. Just above the coffin, the rays propagated straight to illuminate the stone building. Seen from the hemisphere, something came down from there.
A human. He wore two threads of green and black cloth with gold stripes. Covering both shoulders and stomach, until waving around the thighs. While the orange-colored woven fabric covers the bottom.
A few moments later, the figure grew closer. About who will be called, Bima had already realized it from earlier. But when he saw it straight away, he could no longer feel anything.
A highly respected, flattered person, known throughout Java Island. Even his words are still a conversation to this day. The great king and astrologer, he is...
“...Prabu Jayabaya.”
While grasping a small trident, he, Jayabaya descended slowly from the stone petilasan. A very great Eve, even the wind seemed to bow before him.
“Welcome back, Your Grace.!” Daka and Daha said at the same time.
“Good work all, now wake up!” jayabaya Titah.
“Wah.. Jayabaya really.!” bima muttered unintentionally because he was stunned.
Prabu Jayabaya turned his head, “hhmm..? Is that you..?”
“Ah forgive me prabu!” Bima immediately lowered her head.
“Not to think about, you must not be familiar with the nuances of the kingdom like this... So, how's it going?”
“What does Prabu mean..?”
“About dedemit destruction, how is it developing?”
“From Sudra's level, we've killed two creatures.. As for the others, we still don't know.”
“Means there is still a lot to pass... Then has raden mastered your power?”
For a moment Bima thought about the word 'raden' spoken by Jayabaya, “eh. well a little... I started to be able to balance myself with Nyi Blorong.”
“Blorong...? Who is he?”
“She is the daughter of Gusti Prabu's servant.” Nyi Rara Kidul pointed at Blorong who was beside her.
“In the era of Jayabaya I do not exist, you should have known, right?” Nyi Blorong whisper to Bima.
“But what I meant by that was not about borrowing power, Bima..! Except the power that is in your soul.!” Prabu Jayabaya gently touched the chest of the Bima heart with his finger.
“Eeh.. But I don't have it.”
“There...! It's just that you didn't realize it...! Alright, then I will help you,” from Prabu Jayabaya finger appears a golden light which then enters Bima's body.
“A- uh? I don't feel anything.”
“You will feel the perubahan periodically.. Uh, it's time yeah... .. Actually I still want to talk to you but..”
“Prabu will go.?”
“Yes, I have business to do... Daha..! My daka..! We leave.”
“Siao, Gusti Prabu.!”
“We will meet again... Until that day comes, train to become stronger, Raden.!” the wind blew covering the view for a moment, and suddenly Prabu Jayabaya and his two abbots were no longer there.
“Why does Prabu Jayabaya call me Raden?” mummified Bima.
“Maybe we should also go, Bima!” nyi Blorong.
“Yaa.”
“It looks like we're parting here, Bima... See you soon!” Nyi Rara Kidul moves on a tree.
“That should.. Wh who? Did you see Blorong too? who is that going with Nyi Rara kidul!?” Bima saw a silhouette of a shadow that went with Nyi Rara Kidul.
“Unfortunately, I don't know anything.”
“No what.. Then let's go!”
Bima walked following a faint blue-colored stream. A life energy that would restore this soul to its body.
“Huuahh.. Geez, forced to come, but the return is not ushered back.”
“Hahaha.. You're just complaining, so let's fly! Mulu's walking time.!” Nyi Blorong flew around the Milky Way.
“Although say so, I..”.
“Already.. Never mind..” Nyi Blorong held Bima from behind.
“Eh.. W-what are you..”.
“Stay jumping, then fly!” With a little energy, Nyi Blorong threw Bima up.
“Eeehh.. Woo-wooyy..!” initially Bima swirling around is unclear. Later, he began to fly quietly.
“I told you, you can definitely do it.!”
“Hahaha I-”
“Awas!” Nyi Blorong pushed Bima to the ground.
Percak..!
“Aduh..! What's all of a sudden.?”
“See that..!” point Nyi Blorong at a tree that was slashed by an attack.
They looked to the side where the attack had come from. Slowly it began to appear, from the great feet walking through the darkness. Until a big man with a strange dagger in his hand was seen.
“Dia..?”
