THE NAVEL OF THE BLACK VALLEY
Episode 23's. The road to jumali gate

POVS. YUKA

Today I am on duty to go to the gate of Jumali. This gate is the main gate for me to enter the overreaching pure power. I was ordered by the Goddess to immediately go there, my mood is so flogging right now. There was such a high level of worry as I approached the fight later in the Black Valley. I went to be accompanied by the Suji Kingdom Master who is currently sent by Prince Kenzi to train me to become a knight.

This sword has always stood by me with the staff of the Goddess. This makes complete perfection of my strength, I must be able to prove to my father and mother that I am capable of becoming a knight without me having the throne of a daughter of an Emperor Keytaro.

"Yuka's.. Are you ready to go to Jumali's gate?" Ask the Suji Kingdom coach to me at this time.

"O Teacher, I am ready to go to the main gate to perfect my current strength." I am very sure today.

"Are you sure you're going against your own brother?" Ask from the current Suji Kingdom teacher.

"Teacher, I'm pretty sure of what I'm doing. I wanted to prove to my father and mother that without them acknowledging my existence I could become a knight. I want to fight for the truth, the many wounded hearts my parents have done. Even though I love my parents, my brother is very bad to me. Therefore there is no reason for me to refuse in the later battle in the Black Valley." My heart goes out to the teacher with confidence. Finally we went to walk to Jumali Gate, along the way we passed on foot to get in front of the gate of strength. It is not an easy thing for us to be able to enter there because we have to pass the path and also the wilderness is very creepy. Bet my life right now, I don't want to live in regret if I miss it. If only I had died in that battle, at least I would have tried to become a real knight. At the end of this forest began to look there was a golden-coloured gate, it seemed like it was the Jumali Gate. The gate was so majestic that even it seemed like many people were unaware that there was a gate as good as this behind the wilderness.

Right now that I am looking for the key to enter the gate, I have to pass through several obstacles in order for me to obtain the magic diamond to complete my current strength.

"O Teacher, how can I enter the gate? Whereas we don't have the key to break through this enormous gate." Ask the teacher at this time.

"Wahai Yuka, as I learned from what I learned while I was training to become a teacher of Suji Kingdom. In the holy book explained, there is only a sincere person who can open this gate. For decades this gate could not be opened because there was no successor of the knight who could surpass this gate. If you were chosen by the magic sword and also you got a hint from the Earth Goddess, there is a possibility that you are the next knight. Only you can open this gate. Use your instincts from all situations, immediately you meditate on the stone located right next to this gate. You'll get a clue later if you're the chosen knight." Said my teacher while explaining how to open this gate.

I started to get confused because I did not choose the basis of battle at all, even my existence in this world was not expected by my parents. I was born out of a forbidden affair between Empress Yiza and Emperor Keytaro.

I took a step with a tremble, I ventured so that I could sit meditating on a rock. I am also currently standing right in front of the stone meant by the Suji Kingdom teacher. This stone is black, half-round shape even looks very similar to a bench. My steps began to hesitate at this time but I remembered the words of the Earth Goddess, that the Goddess will always give me protection when I am in trouble. I finally sat on this big rock and I tried to meditate. I take a slow breath, I try to calm myself. My heart is starting to stabilize at this time, I enjoy my soul being united with nature. My eyes began to shut, I continued to gather energy to make my strength even more perfect. Suddenly inside my inner eye I saw a key located right under the Ajmali tree. This is what is called the Ajmali gate in my inner eye. I traced exactly where the plant was located, it turns out that the plant is right behind me right now. I opened my eyes immediately and immediately spoke to Royal Master Suji.

"O Teacher, may I tell you?" I asked the current Suji Kingdom Master.

"Please, Yuka. What do you see in your eyes?" Ask my teacher at this time.

"I saw a key under the Ajmali plant. I was astonished and I had just heard the name of this plant, but in my inner eye this plant was right behind the stone I was sitting on. Can I now try to see the truth from my inner eye?" I asked the Master of Suji Kingdom.

"Oh, of course you can Yuka. Only the chosen ones can see things in their inner eyes. You are a very sincere girl, your soul is very clean. Your battle is not accompanied by ambition, it turns out true Prince Kenzi's guess. That you are the next knight. Let's see, Yuka." Speech from the Suji Kingdom Master.

We also walked up to the Jumali plant, the plant was like a bamboo tree. The color is green with the leaves not too low but there is something strange about this plant. On each leaf, there are holes and thorns like cacti. Could it be that I can reach for the key under such a sharp plant? I also began to doubt. I didn't want my body to get hurt, I took my legs back one step as I changed my mind to take the key. But the Suji Kingdom Master gave me such a high spirit.

"Yuka's.. You rest assured with your inner eyes. This plant will not hurt a sincere person. If you don't have ambition in battle, then you will get that key. Use your feelings, concentrate high. Feel where the key is." My teacher is warning me at the moment.

I nodded as I understood what the teacher was saying, I finally stretched out my hand and I tried to reach for the key that was located just below the Jumali plant.

"Thank God.. I can finally get it, teacher." I gripped the key very tightly and the teacher smiled at me.

"Welcome you are a pure knight. Your heart is so clean that this key is easily obtained. Decades of people travel to get this key, but you easily get the key. Luck is on your side now. Let's get inside the Jumali Gate immediately." Speak from the current teacher.
