THE SUN GOD SWORD
The Mountain of the Gods
Sungsang Geni had no intention of taking plants that had life energy, every time they found it.
He did not want to be too greedy, the plant was definitely more useful for the increase in energy in the swordsman here than he was.
After a long time through the forest, Sungsang Geni passed through smokey mud, smelling foul and bubbling.
Commander Ireng resolved several times, because of the smell that tickled his black muzzle. The wolf looked very upset, so he walked first away from the pungent-smelling mud.
Now they are on different vegetation, steep rocks without plants. His right leg began to tread the steep rock, followed by Commander Ireng who still rubbed his nose because of the smell of sulfur.
This is not good, some stones are not firmly embedded in sandy soil, so they may roll when they are incandescent.
Can't Sungsang Geni fly? Of course, but the young man decided to travel together with Commander Ireng without leaving him on the mainland.
After all, the Irpanusa Rishis advised, to accept every step of their journey as an exercise of patience.
From where they were, there was no such thing as a roaring mountain peak, it was because a white and thick cloud covered the passage.
A step two, they finally began to creep on the body of the semeru mountain peak. The weather is very hot, Commander Ireng looks very tired compared to Sungsang Geni.
“Come friends! You should be able to withstand this heat, or maybe you can remove those thick hairs!” goda Sungsang Geni's.
“Gerr..”
“Hahahaha..fight even harder!”
The higher they walked, the more difficult the mountain terrain became. Now that the place had become a little dusty as brown sand and small pebbles began to scatter in the wind, their view became limited.
The sound of the wind roaring like a welcome greeting addressed by the mountain. Sungsang Geni even clogged his ears because the sound began to interfere with hearing.
After walking for about 4 hours, they began to see the top of the mountain behind the white clouds.
Commander Ireng gestured asking for drinking water on the pumpkin jug hanging on Sungsang Geni's waist.
“Do not spend!” Sungsang Geni poured water directly into the mouth of Commander Ireng. “I don't use too much water, but still you have to reduce this water, because we don't have another backup.”
“Gerr..” said Commander Ireng understood.
“Alright, now that the sun has started leaning west, we should arrive at the top of the mountain before night, or something bad will happen.”
Something bad in Sungsang Geni's intent was, a mountain storm. The Irpanusa sage advised, that the peak of the volcano semeru always keep something dangerous that is difficult to predicate, such as a storm or lightning strike in the middle of a volcanic crater.
After traveling for a few hours, they both finally set foot on the top of a mountain peak called Mahameru. The surface was filled with volcanic rock and dust, the smell of sulfur clearly smelled smothering the chest of Commander Ireng.
About hundreds of meters away now, between Sungsang Geni and Jonggring Saloka, the name of a fiery crater that always emits thick smoke from a distance. At this distance, actually the smell of sulfur is getting stinging.
Commander Ireng had no intention of walking any further towards Jonggring Saloka, he was a little scared. Sungsang Geni realized the fear of Commander Ireng must have reasoned, because strong energy began to radiate from around the crater.
The day began to close, changing the night with a crescent moon like hanging right on the western horizon. At the same time, Commander Ireng stood on one of the huge rocks jutting out and howled loudly there.
“You seem very worried!” said Sungsang Geni approached Commander Ireng who pointed his canine teeth towards him. “I will always be the theme and take care of you, so no need to worry.”
“Gerr..”
“I know you feel it too,” said Sungsang Geni. “This place is filled with a strange aura, right?”
Sungsang Geni got information from the Irpanusa Session that this mountain was the place where the gods lived.
Or also, the place where one meets the gods. That is, this place is very sacred, which connects the world with the realm of nirvana.
“Do you think this is the path leading up there?” asked Sungsang Geni, pointing at the sky filled with small stars. “If so, maybe we are already very close to death!”
“Ger..ger...” Commander Ireng became even more worried, the longlongs were getting louder at this time, making Sungsang Geni forced to clog his ear hole with both persuaded.
“Relax, I'll be there alone!” said Sungsang Geni, walking closer to Jonggring Saloka, where the craters are red in the dark of night.
“Ger..” Commander Ireng pulled Sungsang Geni's shirt, trying to prevent the young man's stupid actions, he even tried very hard not to allow his human friend to put life closer to the crater of fire.
“I told you, I'll be fine!” said Sungsang Geni, trying to make Commander Ireng understand, “You know, after the day began to brighten, you have to leave this place, the air is not suitable for your thick fur.”
Commander Ireng did not accept Sungsang Geni's decision, but he had no other choice. This was the last boundary he had accompanied the young man's journey.
Commander Ireng could not go any further near Jonggring Saloka or the hot aura would burn his entire black feathers.
In the end, he released a bite on Sungsang Geni's shirt with a slight disappointment.
Sungsang Geni put his thumb right on the forehead of Commander Ireng, then a bright light came out of his thumb and created a sun-patterned symbol.
“With this, no animal dares to injure you!” said Sungsang Geni, come back after the sun starts rising tomorrow morning, and wait for me in the forest of life.
After saying that, Sungsang Geni walked up to Jonggring Saloka alone.
After a few tens of minutes, he finally arrived right at the lips of the fiery crater, the white smoke had already damaged the young man's smell.
Sungsang Geni swept over each side of the crater, but did not find anything cave-shaped like the shadow swordsmen spoke of.
The entire surface of the crater wall is red in coals, of course. Sungsang Geni could not even fall into the crater, even though he had the power to absorb heat.
“Where is that place?” ask Sungsang Geni. “Is it not located in this crater? Is it possible that the book is located on one side of the mountain top?”
The young man began to think for a moment, he decided to move away from the crater rim and sit cross-legged, something he might have already missed.
Another name of Mount Semeru is the mountain of the gods, Sungsang Geni do not understand why it is called that? Is this place connected up there to a star-filled sky? I don't know Sungsang Geni doesn't know the answer.
“Is the three sacred crystals a symbol of Trimurti, Batara Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva?” muttered Sungsang Geni.
