The Pandavas
21. Meet One Missing One

"I don't know if from the ghost village around here there's a way to this place."

Lirih Zia's.

The white crocodile smiled, though,

"All because of Miss Zizi, her journey to clean Jayapada had made all the magical gates connected, including to Tanah Dalu."

"Oh, really?"

Zia obviously didn't expect that to happen. Then Zia looked around.

That lake, that forest, all still feels the same as when he first entered this place first and second time.

The moment where he met for the first time met with Jaka Lengleng and Gendis Arum, the king and queen of snake stealth who are still a lineage with Zion, her husband.

"But..."

Zia then looked at the white crocodile demon that was now leading her to one place,

"How did you know I was there?"

Zia asked feeling suspicious all of a sudden,

The white crocodile demon chuckled slightly, though,

"I just heard some half-ape demon that once escaped from our custody was at that location."

"A half-ape smile?"

Zia frowned,

The white crocodile demon nodded,

"It's been a long time since we decided to no longer prey on humans, and then there are some demons that are under our rule to rebel, he said, they made us prisoners because we took casualties again around the village."

"Those who did, and then you got the impact?"

Ask Zia.

The white crocodile demon nodded.

"My husband died at the hands of Bandapati, the villagers made a cult of your grandmother, they asked to exterminate us."

"grandmother?"

Zia paused her steps for a moment, the white crocodile demon incense granny nodded,

"When did it happen?"

Ask Zia anyway.

"Before he got caught."

"I deserve not to know."

Lirih Zia's.

The white crocodile stealthy granny smiled bitterly.

"My husband perished, and I begged Bandapati to listen to my explanation, after he finally proved that if it wasn't us white crocodiles who were throwing a tantrum, then we were finally given a new place of power here."

"Those half-ape lights, where are they going?"

"These loyal servants of Jaka Lengleng were then defeated by Bandapati and given our power to be detained, however, a shaman helped free them, and seemed to make a pact with them for one purpose."

"What purpose?"

Ask Zia.

"Especially if not to enrich yourself Madam."

"Are you?"

Zia was again flabbergasted, this time she really did not expect it at all.

"How come today there are still people who want to get rich that way?"

Lirih Zia, the white crocodile's common grandmother chuckled.

"Nothing has changed in human life patterns other than that they are better at wearing masks to cover up their rot."

Said the white crocodile's silvery granny.

Zia fell silent, because it seemed like what grandma said was true.

Then they continued their journey,

"The smile was installed on the highway to pick up the collision itself, what does that mean?"

Ask Zia.

The white crocodile demon grandmother nodded,

"They're bloodthirsty, the humans who cooperate with them are treasure-hungry."

"Part of the supernatural?"

"The treasures of our nature abound, for it is clear that we do not need them. Greedy humans are very fond of gold gems, we make all of it an attraction to ensnare greedy humans."

"Where did all this come from, Grandma?"

Ask Zia.

"From ancient times, when greedy humans in ancient times hoarded it on earth, there were also those who experienced one event such as drowning in the ocean, or also buried because of one disaster."

"You guys master all that then?"

"Yes. Whatever is dazzling, it is a comfortable home, we master it, and then it will rule over the humans who want to get it."

Zia seemed to be perplexed to understand how it turned out that human greed was a fun game for them.

"The half-ape stealth is getting worse and worse if left unchecked, I try to hunt him whenever I hear them in action. I showed up there after my men told me that they were half-ape demons doing it."

"You got it?"

Ask Zia.

The grandmother shook her head,

"We lost them again, because it was too late. When we tried to return to our place, we found one of the guards who was still part of us reporting that a human had entered the forbidden forest."

"Is he whom you call likely my grandson?"

Ask Zia.

"Yes, she obviously has the aura of your mistress, and also the aura of Bandapati certainly."

Zia seemed not surprised this time, because if it is true that he is Bobi, then it is no doubt, the child is certainly the next Jayapada heir.

"She was almost a victim of the Banaspati army in the middle of the forest, it seems she was very brave Madam, but she was still too small if she had to go down face to face with the high-powered ghosts."

"Yes I have repeatedly reminded Zizi, if his son is dealing with Pocong, Kuntilanak or tuyul and others it does not matter, but do not get ghosts and demons whose strength is far above him."

"Including the two sneaks, madam?"

The white crocodile's stealthy grandmother said it was like mentioning Zia's granddaughter who made her intimidated was not sincere.

Zia's so bad grin, too,

"I'm sorry, Grandma, they just like to mess around, never seriously,"

Said Zia.

"But it's very serious for us ladies' gentleness."

The grandmother said as if to pour out her heart.

Zia was grinning, more,

"Sorry, Grandma,"

Lirih Zia's.

The white crocodile demon grandmother then took Zia to a place where now it looks like a house that is the same shape as Zia entered first.

The crocodile grandmother opened the door, and this time what was inside was exactly the same as what was in Zia's shadow.

A small wooden cot with weathered wood was there, upon which Bobi lay.

Zia who saw her granddaughter lying weak of course immediately jumped towards the granddaughter to reach into her arms.

"She's okay, ma'am, just recovering."

Said white crocodile grandmother.

"Can I take him home, Grandma?"

Ask Zia.

The white crocodile's common grandmother nodded,

"Sure Madam, but just wait for her to wake up, otherwise, then her soul will be left here."

Said the white crocodile's aboriginal grandmother,

Zia also agreed.

Zia then let go of his embrace to Bobi for a moment.

Zia looked at the white crocodile's common grandmother to say something, when she suddenly remembered that she had entered the place with Arya.

But...

"Sister Arya, where is she, Grandma?"

Ask Zia who just came to her senses.

The white crocodile grandmother who seemed to have forgotten the figure of Arya was immediately panicked.
