THE SUN GOD SWORD

The Golden Hill College's extraordinary surprise was willing to help the Snake Valley, but the biggest surprise was knowing that the young man who had fought alongside them had been a king.
“A'a...Did you say, Sungsang Geni?” Sabdo Jagat could not close his mouth for a moment, even his bulging eyes barely popped out of his petals while Guru Tiraka felt his entire leg joint almost come off so shocked.
“True, he is the King of the Cliffs. He was the one who had sent information regarding the state of the Snake Valley through the Black Eagle. He also asked us to go to the Golden Hill College to beg for help, and he was also the one who had asked us to save the Snake Valley refugees.” Dirga's words made the leader of the Snake Valley almost unconscious.
“Actually, what is going on?” muttered the man, then leaned back in his bed.
“Why didn't he tell her identity?' ask Guru Tiraka, “Thus perhaps we will be kinder to him.”
“That's because His Majesty Sungsang Geni hates caste and distinction,” replied Dirga casually, although in fact he was also not very familiar with the true nature of Sungsang Geni, aside from what Mahesa had said. “Again, I came here to pick him up home.”
“Ma'forgive us Senopati?” said Guru Tiraka his face became lethargic. “But Geni is no longer here, he is chasing the Demon Bat Commander eastward, and until now has not returned.”
Dirga let out a disappointed sigh, whereas the meeting with Sungsang Geni was his greatest hope coming to the Snake Valley. The man had intended to say a few words personally, but his intention was for now impossible to convey.
'What would Patih Mahesa say if I did not manage to find His Majesty Sungsang Geni.' Dirga massaged his forehead which began to hurt.
He remembered Mahesa's words before leaving for Tombok Cliff, not to expect to find Sungsang Geni, because their King was more slippery than an eel. And the words of Patih, it turns out to be true.
“Now what will you do? The Serpent Valley warriors?” tanya Dirga immediately shifted the topic of conversation.
Sabdo Jagat and Guru Tiraka looked at each other, to be honest they also did not know what to do after successfully retaking the Snake Valley. Even if they stayed in this place, the possibility of getting a backlash from the Demon Bats was also huge.
“If so why not stay first at Perguruan Bukit Emas?” Darma Cokro gave an offer that made the Serpent Valley Leader surprised not the mastermind, “You must realize this situation has not been completely good. If you mind staying within the Golden Hill Wall, you may live in our other lands. Our area is quite wide.”
Sabdo Jagat looked back at Guru Tiraka, the woman seemed to agree with the offer given by Darma Cokro. However, even for now to find food will be difficult, because their farmland has become a battleground.
The only thing they can do in this place is to catch fish or hunt, and Sabdo Jagat should know that it is not every day to catch a deer. During this time they eat sweet potatoes that grow wild in the middle of the forest, but it seems that nature has also run out of stock of sweet potatoes.
“Ma'forgive us for troubling you.” Said Sabdo Jagat with a small smile, “Maybe we will rent your land for some time.”
“No need, you guys can stay free on our land?” darma Cokro.
“We still have some treasures,” said Sabdo Jagat remembering the basement his father hid, “You can allow your land to be occupied, but we will still buy the rice you sell! That is the way life goes.”
Darma Cokro smiled slightly, actually he knew Sabdo Jagat's heart was a little heavy to receive Free help from him. The Snake Valley was more famous as a stubborn warrior and self-precious high, so the leader of the Golden Hill did not want to make the principles they held collapse.
“Alright I accept that payment.” Said Darma Cokro with a heavy sigh, “We will leave after the state of the Snake Valley swordsman is quite recovered, now we will look for some fish in the river of heavy water as our food today.”

“Empu, I found this before Geni left the ruins.” Cempaka thrust a few pieces of black stone with red veins, pieces of sword watu kencana or also pieces of rolled star stone. “This is all that's left. Some stone fragments shattered into dust grains, as bright light shot out from within his sword”
Empu Pelak was quite surprised to find about 15 stones the size of his thumb, if there were some debris that was crushed into dust, meaning that the debris in the hands of Cempaka Ayu was the hardest core of the stone.
“I saw the yellow light go into his arm, I don't know what it was. But the light came from the sword that he always carried.” continued Cempaka Ayu, his eyes look teary if given the dozens of injuries suffered by Sungsang Geni.
“It is a sword spirit, we do not know why the sword spirit can unite with the young man, because indeed Sungsang Geni is a unique and mysterious human being.” Empu Pelak took one of the 15 pieces of stone, then observed it carefully, “ I will make you a weapon with all these things, an heirloom that matches your fighting style. This will be the last weapon I make, after which I will develop demon powder as my main weapon.”
“Empu, did you hear about Sungsang Geni's background?” asked Cempaka Ayu, actually he knew the answer to his question, because of the news. The Snake Valley has been going horribly all day.
“Yeah..I heard the news,” Empu Pelak chuckles small while interspersed with slow coughs, “The young man, really surprises us. You have to train harder to always be with her.”
Hearing that remark, Cempaka Ayu blushed in embarrassment. But after the battle last night, the girl was indeed determined to practice mastering the moon goddess.

The day after, those who joined from the Snake Valley and the Golden Hill began to move to the Southeast side, where the Golden Hill College was located. If taken on foot, they will arrive at the Golden Hill Center 5 days later.
They cannot move fast, because many people are still recovering. After all there were some Snake Valley warriors who did not have the ability to lighten the body.
While Darma Cokro and his 9 strongest subordinates intend to go first, because they cannot leave the Golden Hill for a long time.
Leaving the Golden Hill could make the college a target for the next Demon Bat Group, even if it was actually impossible.
“You guys will be fine, I will wait on Golden Hill.” Said Darma Cokro, “I will only bring 9 warriors, the rest will keep your trip.”
“One more time, we thank you very much.” Answer the Sabdo Jagat.
After saying goodbye, the 10 people from the Gold Hill warrior immediately left the Snake Valley first.
“Cempaka, I will wait for you there, and I will show you the most beautiful place in the Golden Hill.” Said Bengal Cokro smiling sweetly.
Cempaka Ayu did not answer the young man's words, he only replied with a small smile that seemed forced, making Bengal Cokro a little annoyed. 'what young man, really captivated his heart?'
