THE SUN GOD SWORD
Wulandari And Cempaka Ayu
Tomorrow morning, Before the sun really shines on the earth, Sungsang Geni bids farewell to Ki Alam Sakti and Sabdo Jagat. The young man bowed three times, as a courtesy to his teacher.
Mahesa, Sabdo Jagat and Ratih Perindu drove the young man to the edge of the valley, on a path that was almost vague because of the grass.
“Mahesa, I leave Bayangkara to you. Lead the troops while I'm still away..!”
“Hahaha...I'm used to taking care of all your problems.” Mahesa patted the young man twice on the shoulder, cleared her throat three times and gave a hug. “ Take good care of yourself, hopefully what your goal will be soon get.”
Siko Danur Jaya did not say anything, she just hugged the young man as if this was a long farewell. Ratih Perindu just bowed lethargic.
“Ireng, let's go!”
Commander Ireng growled softly, then walked beside Sungsang Geni down the path, and was lost in the bend of the road, blocked by large trees.
Along the way, the young man kept thinking about many things. There were three lines of wrinkles on his forehead, some veins poking out from behind the skin as if like worms. Commander Ireng quite understood, so on this trip he was more silent.
On the neck of the big wolf, hanging a jug of drinking water and a piece of roast meat as a supply of travel. At once he jumped in the bush, trying to find extra food, but nothing he got.
“Where do we start looking?” Sungsang Geni asked, in front of him was a fork in the road.
“Gerr...gerr.
“So, do you think that way?” Sungsang Geni patted the wolf's muzzle twice, then continued on his way.
***
This is a pretty high place, there are a lot of flowers blooming in that place, a very beautiful plateau. No one seemed to have touched the place before.
Some roses and jasmine become one of the flowers picked by a beautiful girl in her flower basket. Right in the middle of the square, a simple hut was steaming high.
A hut with a thatch roof, and a wall of tree bark, four-legged that is quite high, similar to a stilt house. The door of the hut opened wide, while from inside the hut appeared a white-haired woman.
Their clothes show simplicity. In front of the hut, there were two sheep whose fur had been shaved, caged with bamboo tree rinses.
When the day began to rise at noon, the girl with the flower basket returned to her hut. The girl's face looked more bright than the girls in Sursena, looking no burden on her head.
“Wulandari, I've cooked mushroom soup for us.” Said the white haired woman.
“Teacher, you don't have to bother cooking rice and vegetables.” Wulandari placed several flower stalks into a pot of bamboo, arranged them in such a way and hung them right on the end of the roof of the hut. “ I can do everything, do not look at me as the daughter of Maha Senopati. We have promised to live simply in this place.”
Saraswati shook her head several times, did not answer the girl's words and went back inside the hut. Not long after, he returned with a bowl of mushroom porridge. The bowl was made from pieces of the maje fruit shell, yes there was nothing valuable in the hut except the green sword hanging in the corner of the room.
“Eat, mumpung still warm!”
Wulandari stopped her activity, she took a bowl of mushroom soup, before she was about to eat it, she suddenly fell silent for a moment.
Saraswati did not say anything, her appetite suddenly disappeared when she saw the girl's face was always bad at the thought of Sungsang Geni. The young man, according to him need not be thought of, is worthy of being with his students who are clearly different castes, cultures and also countries.
Not yet cold mushroom soup in the bowl, or not even three mouthfuls, suddenly above the clear sky there was a white light coming closer. Very fast, like a star falling from the sky and about to hit the earth.
It didn't take 10 heartbeats, the white glowing object fell right in front of their yard, startling the two sheep inside the cage.
“Teacher, what is it?” Wulandari became surprised instead of a bitch, nothing strange happened in this place except today. “What is it..?”
Does not continue Wulandari said, after he saw the figure of the girl with the body still smoky right in the middle of the soil that strangle like a dry lake. The entire clothes of the girl were filled with a scorching gulp, like it had just come out from inside a fireplace.
Wulandari immediately approached the girl. Saraswati looked doubtful, so before going down to meet her she picked up a green sword just in case.
As if without fear, Wulandari flipped the body of the girl whose position was slightly tilted to the west. Surprised after knowing who the girl's face was.
“Teacher, this isn't Geni's friend?. If it is not wrong Geni called it Cempaka.”
Saraswati immediately approached, paying careful attention and the same as Wulandari the woman was also surprised not to be upset. Immediately he checked Cempaka Ayu's pulse.
“Wire, his pulse is a mess. His breath is also very weak, we have to save his life.” Saraswati lifted the girl's body and hurriedly brought her into the hut.
“Quick get the drugs!”
Without waiting for long, Wulandari took out a basket of medicine hanging on top of the furnace. He sorted out some herbs, herbs and also looked like flowers, pounding them hurriedly and brewed them into a cup of warm water.
“Help me..” Saraswati sat down Cempaka Ayu, placed her palm on the back of the girl, then channeled her inner energy.
Not long after, the woman flinched. “That's weird, I can't channel the power in on this girl, as if something's pushing her out.”
Wulandari did not know much about the inner power, because he did not have enough of it. But he had some knowledge in the field of medicine, so as soon as possible concoct a decoction to be drunk into the mouth of Cempaka Ayu.
“Teacher, is the whole body currently injured?”
“What you said was true, Wulan.” Saraswati laid the girl's body slowly. “The whole vein has swelling, I have never seen anyone experience a condition like this girl.”
Wulandari hurried to her feet, she picked up one of the clothes she had stored in the worn-out closet. The clothes were actually the oversized clothes of the Negri Sembilan who intended to be thrown away.
After which, he hurried down the hut to fetch some water inside the barrel.
It took a while to treat Cempaka Ayu's body. On his body there were some blue bruises, some even looked blackened like he had just been hit by a punch.
“But this is not a blow, this bruise seems to come from inside him.” Saraswati knitted her forehead several times, seemingly thinking hard. “This girl may store something that harms her body, or also harm people around her.”
