Keswari continued to move quickly from Pakuwon Carat Palace towards the north, right into the territory of Keputren Jenggala. He mentioned the name of the leader and this was closely related to Princess Uttejana.
Who is Princess Uttajana?
Judging from the story when Panji Watugunung defeated Dyah Wijayawarman who rebelled against Panjalu with Akuwu Lwaram Mpu Wiryamukti first, this is where the story began.
When starting to organize his troops to rebel against Panjalu, Dyah Wijayawarman apparently fell in love with Akuwu Wiryamukti's daughter named Rara Wiryastuti. The two combined their love as long as Dyah Wijayawarman composed the power in Lwaram.
During the siege of Lwaram by Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana, Mpu Wiryamukti who was worried about the safety of his daughter, made an escape route from Lwaram to the End of Galuh by using a merchant boat that passed on the Wulyu River. At that time, Rara Wiryastuti who was pregnant young inevitably had to be willing to part with Dyah Wijayawarman the lover because of the situation that began to corner the Lwaram rebel forces.
Along with that, a letter from Akuwu Lwaram Mpu Wiryamukti was also brought by Rara Wiryastuti. Rara Wiryastuti also managed to escape from the siege of the soldiers of Panjalu to reach the end of Galuh along with his loyal embrace. From there, from there, Rara Wiryastuti went to Kotaraja Kahuripan in accordance with the mandate of the father to meet Rakryan Samarotsaha who at that time was Mahamantri I Shirkan under the rule of Prabu Mapanji Alanjung Ahyes who replaced the father, namely Mapanji Garasakan's.
Rara Wiryastuti's beauty instantly captivated Rakryan Samarotsaha's heart. With a little force, though, Rara Wiryastuti finally wants to accept Rakryan Samarotsaha's request to be his 2nd concubine because Rara Wiryastuti also needs a living support after knowing that Dyah Wijayawarman her lover and also her father was killed by the soldiers Panjalu under the leadership of Prabu Jayengrana.
After the 8 full moon they married, Rara Wiryastuti gave birth to a beautiful baby girl who was later named Uttejana. The secret of who was Uttejana's real father was only Rara Wiryastuti and his escort who knew.
After the fall of the Jenggala kingdom to the hands of Rakryan Samarotsaha after the sudden death of Prabu Mapanji Alanjung Ahyes, the position and status of the Rakryan Samarotsaha extended family also increased sharply. Although there are rumors circulating among the people of Jenggala that the death of Maharaja Mapanji Alanjung Ahyes is unnatural and there are allegations Rakryan Samarotsaha was involved in it, however it did not affect the procession of Rakryan Samarotsaha's coronation to become the next ruler of Jenggala. Rara Wiryastuti also rose to her rank as the king's wife and Uttejana became the princess.
But simultaneously storing carcasses, one day will be smelled too.
When Uttejana was in his teens, his mother's retinue, upset with her commanding attitude, said that she was not the biological daughter of King Jenggala. This made Uttejana moody for a moment. Seeing the drastic change in her daughter's attitude, Rara Wiryastuti asked her.
Uttejana then asked his mother about his true identity. At first Rara Wiryastuti dodged but after Uttejana said that she heard the words of her mother's companion about who her real father was, Rara Wiryastuti finally told her all.
Hearing the story, there was a grudge in the heart of Uttejana. He is determined to avenge the death of his biological father on Prabu Jayengrana by any means. He also wanted to continue his father's ambition to re-establish the Ancient Mataram Kingdom on Jawadwipa's earth. But before that, he had to finish off the life of his mother's escort who knew his true identity to cover all the secrets of his identity.
The next day, her mother's escort was found hanged in her bedroom. Even so, this is a form of engineering Uttejana to eliminate the traces of murder that last night he did.
After that, this beautiful-eyed woman also began to learn from some high-scientific warriors and sepuh sages who have closeness to Kotaraja Kahuripan Palace. Using the name of King Jenggala's daughter, Uttejana easily obtained qualified teachers. Although often privileged, but Uttejana always studied earnestly. This is because he realized that among the close relatives of Kotaraja Daha Palace in Panjalu there are a lot of high-scientific warriors. If he wanted to successfully avenge the death of his biological father, he would have to have a high level of canuragan science as well.
Upon hearing of the underground movement that wanted to re-establish the Medang Kingdom, Uttejana soon joined them. Uttejana wants to use this group as his vehicle to realize his big dream. Using the great name of his teacher Maharesi Mpu Anubhawa from Mount Gajahmungkur, Uttejana was immediately appointed as the second leader of the Blood Crescent Group to replace the old second leader who died. Wearing a silver half-face mask embellished with a blood-red upside-down crescent moon, she was given the title of Silver-Masked Angel.
After that, the lunge of Princess Uttejana in the Blood Crescent Group began. Some of the chaos that occurred at the end of Galuh, Lamajang and Pasuruhan was the act that wanted to shake the power of Prabu Samarotsaha, his father continued. Although this small turmoil was successfully quelled by the Jenggala soldiers, but at least it has signaled to the wider community that Jenggala is not okay.
She wants to become Queen in Jenggala so that someday can storm into Panjalu and complete her grudge against Prabu Jayengrana. Uttejana began to build strength first by establishing good relations in several regions such as the Galuh End, Dinoyo and Mathura. The three rulers of this region had given their full support to Uttejana's desire to sit on the throne of Jenggala.
That night, Princess Uttejana was still speechless at the Kotaraja Kahuripan Palace Princess staring at the star-dotted night sky. Although not as bright as during the rainy season, but the night was quite beautiful not as usual.
Suddenly he felt a killer approaching. He immediately turned his head southward just as Keswari the loyal servant jumped down from the top of the palace walls. The young woman immediately knelt before Princess Uttejana in her honor.
"There has been a result, Keswari?", asked Princess Uttejana as she walked closer to her servant.
"Although Gusti Putri..
They seem to be going to Kotaraja Kahuripan. Regarding their needs, at a glance I heard that they want to meet Gusti Prabu Samarotsaha", said Keswari with a bow.
"Meeting with Kanjeng Romo Prabu Samarotsaha?
Mmmmmm...
Looking at his clothes, they were just ordinary young warriors. But meeting a king, it could only be done by ambassadors from other countries. Maybe they are ambassadors from Blambangan or Panjalu or maybe from the Land of Lodaya Perdikan. This just makes me curious.
Keswari, go now to the hiding place on the beach. Ask the Nini Raga of Satan to block them beyond the boundaries of Kotaraja", Princess Uttejana orders immediately.
"Well Gusti Putri.", after saying so, Keswari immediately saluted before darting quickly over the walls of Kotaraja Kahuripan palace. In a moment, his body had already disappeared behind the darkness of the night.
'If he can overcome the old woman, I must be more careful when facing her", Uttejana minded as he stepped back into the castle of Keputren Kotaraja Kahuripan Palace.
The crickets and grasshoppers were singing that night. Owls also occasionally voiced on the twigs of cypress trees that adorn this palace. The night continued to crawl up to his throne.
The morning began with the sound of a simple rooster crowing from various directions. The night that the air felt so cold, slowly began to disappear along with the appearance of morning sunlight on the eastern horizon.
That morning, Panji Tejo Laksono said goodbye to Rara Wandansari and Bahuwirya to continue their journey to Kotaraja Kahuripan Palace. Although a little unwilling to let go of the young prince, Rara Wandansari had no reason to hold back the prince. With a heavy heart, he drove the departure of Panji Tejo Laksono and his friends to the gate of Pakuwon Carat palace.
The swift footsteps of the horse rang out in unison as Panji's steed Tejo Laksono moved away from Pakuwon Carat City. After passing through several wanuas and vast rice fields, they entered a small forest that is rarely covered with trees but in fact it is a dangerous place.
As soon as entering this small forest, out of nowhere comes suddenly a thick fog appears and covers the entire place until the highway leading to Kotaraja Kahuripan becomes invisible.
"Be careful of this mist, Kakang..
"I understand Kirana..
Meng Er, Ki Jatmika don't get too far away from our group. Something went wrong with this fog", hearing the words of Panji Tejo Laksono, Ki Jatmika and Song Zhao Meng hurriedly brought their horses closer beside Panji Tejo Laksono.
Their horses repeatedly neighed loudly like they were frightened by something.
From behind the trees growing on the left right of the road, five strange-faced women like asu ajag (wild dogs) appeared. After looking at each other for a moment, one of them immediately howled long.
Wwwwwwwwwww.....
Suara lolongan panjang itu semakin membuat suasana seram di hutan kecil ini. Setelah itu kelima perempuan berwajah asu ajag ini langsung melompat ke atas Panji Tejo Laksono dan kawan-kawan nya sambil mengayunkan cakar tangan mereka yang memiliki kuku tajam.
Shhrrraaakkkkhh shhrraaakkkkhh!!
"There was an attack.!!!", shouted Panji Tejo Laksono as he jumped to avoid a quick attack from this asu-faced woman.
The banner of Tejo Laksono was immediately surrounded by two strange-looking women while Ki Jatmika, Dyah Kirana and Song Zhao Meng each faced a woman who moved like the movement of a wild animal.
A fierce fight soon ensued.
One strange-faced woman wearing a purple scarf quickly swung her right-handed claws towards the foot of Panji Tejo Laksono.
Shhrreeettthhh!!
Agilely, Panji Tejo Laksono raised his right leg to avoid the female claw that resembled this beast. While one woman directly pounced towards the head of the prince. The banner of Tejo Laksono quickly rolled away avoiding the most secure while levitating a hard twisting kick towards the waist of the pouncing woman.
Bhhuuuuugggh..
Oouugghhhhhh!!
This beautiful-faced woman immediately bounced 1 spear back. But he soon got up and went back to hunting Panji Tejo Laksono with one of his friends.
Unbeknownst to Panji Tejo Laksono, their fight was getting away from Song Zhao Meng, Ki Jatmika and Dyah Kirana. They seem to be planning something.
Dhasshhhh!!
These two strange-faced women immediately fell apart after Panji Tejo Laksono's hard kick hit their chests. But then the two immediately stood up. From above the trees appeared an old woman who was a little fat who was wearing all-black clothes. The old woman immediately threw a mesh made of brown silk thread towards Panji Tejo Laksono.
Whhhuuuuussshhh!!
The banner of Tejo Laksono did not have time to dodge and was immediately trapped in this mesh of silk thread. With all his might Panji Tejo Laksono tried to tear this mesh but the silk thread was not torn.
The slightly chubby old woman floated down while smiling widely.
"Haha...
Jala Pengurung Psyche is not just any net, good boy. Once entangled, you will never be able to escape from it" said the thick-faced old woman who was none other than the Devil's Nini Raga. He was one of the 5 elders of the Blood Crescent Group who was the pillar of strength of this group. His martial ability was much higher than the pair of Demon Cutting Heads that the other day challenged Panji Tejo Laksono.
At that time, the martial world warriors who are poor crosswise know the football as one of the world dedengkot Jawadwipa land east region. It is said that reportedly, the old woman whose body spreads a foul aroma like the smell of a corpse can not die because it has magic that is beyond reason. The Ajian Nawa Soul that she had become the mainstay of the middle-aged woman defeated her enemies. Even Maharesi Mpu Anubhawa from Mount Gajahmungkur also admitted the greatness of women who always wear silver-colored bulging bow in this hair loop.
Unable to damage the Soul Confinement Mesh, Panji Tejo Laksono immediately concentrated his inner strength and quickly cast Ajian Halimun's spell. A thin white fog covered the entire body of Panji Tejo Laksono and briefly then the body of this young prince immediately disappeared from the confinement of the Jala Pengurung Psyche.
This made Nini Raga Satan surprised instead of playing. During this time none of the warriors who managed to escape the snares of Jala Pengurung Psyche. This is the first time that's happened.
Nini Raga Satan immediately circulated his gaze around the place while pulling his Soul Confinement Jala. The white mist that covered this entire small forest was his creation which was the power of Ajian Blanket Mist. But unfortunately this magic science is actually used by Panji Tejo Laksono to obscure his eye view.
"Fuckin' Boy...
Show me your form. Let's fight", shouted Nini Raga Satan loudly. His eyes kept turning around the place to look for Panji Tejo Laksono.
Two women with auspicious faces also sniffed, trying to find the whereabouts of Panji Tejo Laksono from the smell of his body but they also could not find the existence of the prince.
From the back, right at the former place where the Soul Confinement Jala had been, Panji Tejo Laksono appeared while saying,
"I'm still here.."
