THE SUN GOD SWORD
Forbidden Territory
The second day Sungsang Geni was in Tombok Cliff, which the young man did was to see the prisoners of the children. There were dozens of boys and girls in the room filled with iron bars.
There were a lot of training tools in the room but some real weapons, swords, spears, paddocks. It seems that King Puntura always held a fight between children to see their quality. The proof is that there are many children who are wrapped in bandages.
Their faces were so pitiful, Tombok Cliff might want to have an unrivaled army for the next few years, but the way they did it could suppress the feelings of these children at their cruelest level. Sungsang Geni.
So be an iron-handed soldier. They may win the fight, but they will thirst for war.
“Exit them all!” Preech Sungsang Geni, “If they have no heart, then what a great warrior Tombok Tebing.”
The prison guards swiftly released the key of the prisoner. The faces of the children looked frightened, they became wary of the arrival of Sunsang Geni.
“Do you want us to fight each other?” a little girl ventured to say, though she sounded her voice tremble, but she was the bravest among the others.
“Relax, you can return to your family and home!” Sungsang Geni spoke, then smiled slightly.
Hearing the words of Sungsang Geni, all the boys were so happily matchless. They quickly sprinkled out, leaving behind stuffy rooms that may have held them for months or possibly years.
Outside the Palace, their parents had been waiting with tears in their eyes. Sungsang Geni only gave a small smile, looking at the scene before his eyes.
Suddenly a strange feeling came in Sungsang Geni's heart. Like the fear of losing the people he saw at this moment, fear made them lose hope.
‘They should stay alive.’ Inner Sungsang Geni muttered.
“Your Majesty!” the bravest little girl approached Sungsang Geni, then bowed her head in salute, “Thank you for finding us with our family.”
Sungsang Geni smiled, then nodded his head.
“I'll keep practicing!” the Little Girl continued, “We heard it all, the murderous wars that adults told us about while we were training! So, may we keep training to be warriors, who will protect our loved ones?”
“Sure, you can come to this place, and practice vigorously. I'll change your training procedures a little bit, and also the right place for you. Wait a minute little soldier.”
Everyone who heard Sungsang Geni say a small smile, no one expected the young man to actually keep his promise.
They felt the Tombok Cliff was reborn, although there was a lot to remodel but now they started to believe in their new King.
***
Right now, inside the stuffy prison there are only shredded rats tickling the legs of former officials, Making Tulung Agung, who served as the former chief financial officer of the Kingdom, looks pale.
Tulung Agung and the others, caught by the soldiers in the middle of the night before they left Tombok Cliff with 5 chariots carrying 20 crates of gold pieces.
Instead of leaving Tombok Cliff, they went to prison. Maybe even soon will go to the afterlife, because Sungsang Geni does not plan to forgive them all.
“Senopathy! What do you think the amount of gold they want to bring?” Sungsang Geni suddenly entered the detention room, accompanied by Mahesa and a person in charge of the salaries of officials.
“One hundred thousand pieces of gold, just maybe!” rrintih said, then turned to Mahesa and the girl raised her eyebrows while smiling in a knot.
“Hem..120 thousand.” Mahesa.
“Your Majesty, we have calculated it and it turns out that it is two hundred thousand pieces of gold!” the man in charge of the official's salary said.
“I won't talk much.” Said Sungsang Geni, “Just a waste of time, take these corrupt people to the courtyard of the Palace and ask the people what punishment they deserve.”
And Uncle...!” Sungsang Geni turned to the salary manager, “Prepare a hundred thousand pieces of gold, for Surasena. We owe them.”
Rererotih realized the debt Sungsang Geni meant was a ransom for his release along with 30 other soldiers. It made the girl not want to disappoint Sungsang Geni, and become a servant for the rest of her life.
Dozens of soldiers under the command of Reerintih forcibly dragged 20 former officials into the courtyard of Surasena Palace. Their faces grimaced for mercy, but Sungsang Geni would not forgive.
The Palace courtyard was still crowded with Rakayat, From the beginning Sungsang Geni arrived at Tombok Cliff, the Palace gate was never again closed, for him it was like a separation between castes.
Sungsang Geni wants equal rights among its people. He wanted the Palace not only a home for the King and his officials but also a home for his people.
“According to you, what punishment is appropriate for them!” Sungsang Geni looks at the faces of his people who look angry and fed up, “The decision is in your hands!”
“Law is off!” They were shouting loudly.
Sungsang Geni looked at the 20 officials, then looked at Reerintih. “Do what they want?”
Whether it might be wrong or not, Sungsang Geni had no other choice, he could read their minds for a while. No one wants to change themselves for the better.
“Your Majesty forgive us, give us a chance!” Shouts from the former official did not make Sungsang Geni's decision change.
***
Sungsang Geni walked towards the east of Tombok Cliff, initially just looking around but his steps led him away quite far from the Palace.
His footsteps halted at the lips of the deep ravine, the abyss was dark in color and filled with black fog.
On the edge of the gorge there are only black stones that look neatly arranged, without plants even visible moss that grows in the brink.
The gap is deep, but not too wide. It was probably only 30 meters away from him right now from the dark ravine.
Across the ravine was a rock, or perhaps a mound of earth. Sungsang Geni does not know for sure its shape, because a thick fog envelops the shape.
The young man then took out a fire from his arm, making the fog thin and something happened, like a spark, as a result of his fire.
Two fireplaces suddenly lit up across the ravine. Showing the original form of objects that were originally thought to be stone.
Sungsang Geni was surprised to see the apparition in front of him. The first thing he saw was, the sanskrit writing located at the top of the thing. THE ZAMBALA.
Then his eyes began to look intact, and it turned out to be an unusually large cave door, Sungsang Geni estimated its height was equal to that of a coconut tree, and was almost 20 meters wide. The door was black, exactly the same color as the bebetuan around it.
“Yang noble...the noble...!” a waiter ran up to Sungsang Geni, his breathing sounding claustrophobic with a slightly red face. "Why....?"
“Servant's Park, call a historian or archaeologist here!” Sungsang Geni interrupted the servant's speech.
“Be...good Yang Muia,” replied The servant, he did not want to know what his King would do, but since seeing the big door across the ravine, the servant's face became frightened.
“Why is the king's majesty in the forbidden territory?” he murmured as he accelerated his running speed.
