The Twin Swordsman
Mystery of the Dragon Sword

Darkala and his two disciples decided to return to the stealth palace after failing to chase after the person who took the two dragon swords.

Their journey stops when passing the former place of the fight between Rangga and King Batara Derja, the emperor Dawung.

Darkala felt astonished to see that place that was damaged so badly like a meteor hit.

The damage caused by the battle was extraordinary because many trees were uprooted so that the forest that had been lush now looks deforested .

"Is this the former battle between Rangga and the people of the demon court master why the former is so terrible like this" Warok Lions asked in disbelief.

"Yes great power has been on show in the battle that just happened in this place "said Darkala.

"It's true that this vast forest can be directly flattened with the land "said Kala Weling.

"Teacher ...!!!"the Warok Lions shouted to his teacher.

Hearing the cry of Warok Lions was Darkala and Kala Weling then approached her.

"What a Lion Warok" Darkala asked.

"Isn't this the body of the dawung emperor and King Batara Derja guru" Warok Lions said.

"True, apparently Rangga managed to win the fight" Darkala said.

"We should quickly live in this place "said Darkala to his two students.

"Why hunt is so teacher" asked Warok Lions.

"I feel that there is a great power heading here, it is better for now that we get away from this place because our goal is to find the sword not the enemy" Darkala said then flashed away from the place.

Seeing her teacher had left the two of them then flashed following her.

Meanwhile, on a forest edge, a shadow flashed quickly, carrying a person on his shoulders.

Not long after that the man stopped in a cave on the riverbank with the heart of the man and lowered the man he was carrying.

Then the man rushed into the cave to make sure the state in the cave was safe from poisonous animals, he immediately lifted the person he brought earlier to be moved into the cave.

"It looks like Gusti Prabu has just released all his strength so that it makes him so exhausted "say that person who is none other than Jaka Alap Alap while looking at Rangga the person he was carrying earlier .

Apparently after finding out Arya Soma managed to bring Arum to Martapura, without their knowledge Jaka Alap Alap departed first to catch up with Rangga, but by the time he got there it turned out that the fight was over and found Rangga who had been lying unconscious.

Jaka Alap Alap also immediately took Rangga away from that place to maintain the safety of people who might use the opportunity to harm him when Rangga was helpless.

Jaka Alap Alap also immediately made a fireplace to warm the body and for lighting on the day that began that night.

Rangga, who had fainted since the twilight fight, finally woke up when it started at midnight, he was surprised to find himself in the cave.

Knowing Rangga had awakened Jaka Alap Alap also immediately approached him.

"Is Gusti prabu fine' is fine" asked Jaka Alap Alap.

"I'm fine, but why am I here Alap alap" asked Rangga.

"Sorry Gusti Prabu, I found Gusti lying unconscious in the forest north of the stealth palace and I brought Gusti prabu here ,originally I wanted to bring Gusti prabu directly to Martapura but because it was getting dark I had to bring Gusti prabu to this place" said Jaka Alap Alap Alap.

Rangga was finally reminded of his battle against the emperor Dawung and King Batara Derja.

"Jaka Alap Alap quickly help me to recover my energy" said Rangga.

"Good Gusti prabu" said Jaka Alap Alap.

Then Jaka Alap Alap also channeled his internal energy into Rangga's body , it turns out that the combined technique that Rangga used against the four people from the demon kingdom was really draining his profound strength to not cause damage to his body .

"Enough Jaka Alap Alap, thank you for your help" said Rangga and then inhaled a deep breath.

"Thank you again Gusti Prabu" replied Jaka Alap Alap.

"Oh,ya Jaka Alap Alap what about my daughter Arum whether it has reached Martapura" asked Rangga.

"Just Gusti Prabu Gusti Putri has arrived at the palace safely with Gusti Patih this afternoon" said Jaka Alap Alap.

"I'm relieved that my daughter arrived at the palace safely" Rangga said.

"Then what about the fate of the dragon sword Gusti Prabu because I heard from Gusti Patih that the sword has now disappeared somewhere "asked Jaka Alap Alap.

"Yes the sword is now lost somewhere and we must quickly move to find his Jaka Alap Alap , let's see for yourself in the sky full full moon is almost here"rangga said while pointing upwards.

"It looks like five more full days Gusti Prabu" said Jaka Alap Alap.

"You are right, if the sword did not meet I can be ashamed of Pandan Wangi and Arum also to Barnowo's great-grandfather because they have entrusted him to me" Rangga said.

"Did Gusti Prabu know who took the sword" asked Jaka Alap Alap.

"I don't know who took the sword but I think it's probably the person from the demon kingdom who did it "Rangga said.

"Why Gusti Prabu can conclude like that" asked Jaka Alap Alap.

"Because in the fog I slightly smell the smell of sulfur" said Rangga.

"Sulfur smell, not kah in the stealth palace there is no sulfur Gusti" said Jaka Alap Alap.

"I knew it, but it seemed like at that time I felt that there was already preparation from someone waiting for me to take out the sword "said Rangga.

"What is possible before Gusti Prabu got there is someone who has prepared something that can cause the appearance of the fog" said Jaka Alap Alap.

"That's exactly what I mean Jaka Alap Alap" replied Rangga.

"Then who should be suspected of the loss of the sword Gusti Prabu" asked Jaka Alap Alap curious.

"It is clear that the person has memorized the ins and outs of the stealth palace, so that he can move freely at will" Rangga said.

"Mmmm.. This is how you go tomorrow morning to the mountain of ceremai and investigate there , because the closest place from here is the mountain of ceremai that produces a lot of sulfur I think the sword was brought there "said Rangga feel sure.

"True also Gusti prabu, tomorrow morning servant will soon leave there "said Jaka Alap Alap.

"While you are going to the mountain of ceremai, I will go to the stealth palace to investigate there" Rangga said.

"Sorry Gusti should not Gusti Prabu return to the palace first so that Gusti Ratu Dewi Sekar did not feel anxious Gusti "pronounced Jaka Alap Alap Alap.

"I will send Geni home to tell Dinda Sekar that I'm okay" Rangga said.

"I think it's better as Gusti "said Jaka Alap Alap.

"It is better tonight we spend the night here Jaka Alap Alap I think this cave is quite warm "said Rangga.

"Then the servant will look for Gusti Prabu firewood and keep watch in front of the mouth of the cave" said Jaka Alap Alap Alap, then he left Rangga.

After the departure of Jaka Alap Alap Rangga leaned on a cave wall behind him and his mind drifted to a few years ago where he first met Jaka Alap Alap.

Rangga was once helped by Jaka Alap Alap and his teacher when he was seriously injured due to a fight with Kala Murka several years ago.

At that time Jaka Alap Alap who was very young he was instructed by his teacher to look for medicinal ingredients because at that time the teacher ran out of materials that are needed to treat his patients ,it is a purple mushroom or purple mushroom that can only grow on a hill.

For the sake of carrying out the orders of his teacher Jaka alap alap had departed when it was still a little afternoon so that he arrived at the place he was headed not misfortune.

Because he left early in the morning in the near middle of the day he had already reached the hill.

Huuuuuf .. sound Jaka Alap Alap took a deep breath because of fatigue because he had just climbed a fairly high road.

"Finally I get to the top of this hill I should rest first to recover energy" said Jaka Alap Alap Alap ,then he took out the provisions that were brought and immediately ate it to recover his energy that had been drained.

After a short rest he immediately continued his duties in that place to look for mushrooms requested by his teacher .

Jaka Alap Alap soon explored around the hill and after a long search for it he finally found the purple mushroom.

With a feeling of pleasure he immediately plucked the entire mushroom and without feeling full is the place to accommodate the mushroom.

Because the mushrooms needed already got a lot he decided to return so as not to get to the night at his teacher's place.

Jaka Alap Alap was immediately down the hilly road because he was used to it in a not so long time he had reached the bottom.

He immediately took a shortcut and immediately accelerated his pace because surely his teacher had long awaited his return.

But in the middle of the road he had to stop his steps when he saw a figure of someone's body lying on the road that will pass him.

Jaka Alap Alap looked at the body lying in front of him while paying attention to the two swords that stuck on the ground near the body.

He immediately approached the body to want to see it closer, but before he touched the body, he immediately bounced to make all the mushrooms he was carrying fell.

"Akh.aduuh.what was that "said Jaka Alap Alap asked himself while enduring the pain of the bounce earlier.

"I'd better come back soon and report this to the teacher" said Jaka Alap Alap Alap immediately darted from the place.

On his way Jaka Alap Alap asked about the person lying down.

Jaka Alap Alap running very fast like in pursuit of demons.

And not long after he arrived at his teacher's place with irregular breath up and down.

Seeing his student come with a pale face and breath ngosan the teacher named Ki Sawung immediately questioned him.

"There's Jaka why you run like you're chasing demons" asked Ki Sawung.

"Anu teacher.anu.." said Jaka Alap Alap Stuttering.

"pacify yourself, then speak "say Ki Sawung.

"Just tell me why you ran away like that" asked Ki Sawung.

"There my teacher saw the body of someone and and and two twin swords, when I wanted to approach his body immediately bounced inexplicably" said Jaka Alap Alap.

Hearing the words of his student Ki Sawung also pondered for a moment, he immediately remembered his dream last night that saw a young man asking for help from him.

"Is this the answer to my dream" Ki Sawung said in his heart.

"Let's go over there and see the body and quickly grab my hand" said Ki sawung.

Then with the wind saipi assessment Ki Sawung also shot towards the place intended by his student.

Not long after that, the two of them arrived at that place.

"That's the body of the teacher" said Jaka Alap Alap while pointing to the place.

"You stay here Jaka let me see the body" said Ki Sawung then approached him.

"Good teacher" replied Jaka alap alap.

Ki Sawung also felt an extraordinary strength when approaching the place so that he could not continue his footsteps.

"It seems like it was the heirloom sword belonging to that person who protected his "saying Ki Sawung, he immediately closed his eyes to communicate with the two heirloom swords.

"I don't mean to be evil to your master so allow me to help him" said Ki Sawung.

After saying so the power that protects the person's body disappeared instantly, Ki Sawung immediately approached and immediately checked it, after finding out he was still alive he immediately took him away from that place and headed to his residence.

After arriving at his residence Ki Sawung immediately checked his wound and turned out ,he suffered severe internal injuries due to excessive internal exertion and caused all his nerves to be damaged in addition to his heart rate was very weak.

Ki Sawung can know that the person before him is not a careless person after seeing with his inner eyes, because usually people who experience injuries as severe as that ordinary will not be able to survive anymore.

"It seems that I no longer need to worry about Jaka Alap Alap for his future, I will tell him to follow this person later if this young man is cured "said Ki Sawung in his heart accompanied by a smile on his lips.

He immediately exerted all his abilities to treat it, until a few days later his condition was getting better even though it was still far from healing, because Rangga was still not awake.

Ki Sawung who is a great healer and sakti mandraguna diligently caring for and treating Rangga tirelessly, until without feeling it has been almost a month more he took care of him.

"Then you go to the hill and look for the mushroom again because I need it more to treat the young man" said Ki Sawung.

"What is the wound of uncle is severe teacher" asked Jaka Alap Alap.

"True Jaka, like it took years to heal his wounds" said Ki Sawung.

"Indeed what happened to the uncle's teacher" asked Jaka Alap Alap.

"The entire nerve vein was damaged due to the exertion in so large and took a long time to heal" said Ki Sawung.

"It's a pity that uncle is a teacher" said Jaka Alap Alap.

"Yes Jaka, now go find the mushroom" said Ki Sawung.

"good teacher "answered Jaka alap alap.

Jaka Alap Alap then rushed to the hill yesterday to look for purple mushrooms.

Rangga who had just regained consciousness from his long sleep (comma) from the inside heard the conversation he felt moved by the help they gave him.

After Jaka Alap Alap left, Ki Sawung immediately went inside to see the state of Rangga .

"I thank you for the battery's help to me" Rangga said in a very weak voice.

Hearing the person who was helped had realized Ki Sawung was also happy.

"It's easy for children not to thank me, because I feel lucky to be able to extend this old hand to help you young people" said Ki Sawung.

"It is better for young people not to talk first "said Ki Sawung.

"My name is Rangga and who's battery" said Rangga did not care about Ki Sawung's words and continued to talk.

"Young man you can call me Ki Sawung" said Ki Sawung introducing himself.

"It is better for young people to rest and do not talk much first" said Ki Sawung.

"iya Ki" replied Rangga.

Rangga finally obeyed the advice of Ki Sawung and did not speak anymore, he did not expect that his fight with Kala Murka could cause very severe injuries to him.

Ki Sawung noticed that the lying Rangga was deep inside, he could feel that the person in front of him had such great power .

On a sunny morning it was as usual Ki Sawung trained Kanuragan science on Jaka Alap Alap , he lowered all his knowledge and expertise to him because he was the only student.

"Jaka keep doing the exercises don't stop before I tell you to stop" Ki Sawung said to Jaka Alap Alap Alap and then went inside to get some drinking water.

"How are you doing Rangga "asked Ki Sawung.

"It's getting better Ki , the wound in the chest is not too painful anymore, whether the child in front of it is your student Ki" asked Rangga.

"True Rangga is my only student" said Ki Sawung.

"I saw tremendous potential in that boy Ki "said Rangga.

"True, he is a very talented child and also intelligent, after I'm gone I intend that he follow and serve you son Rangga" said Ki Sawung.

Rangga was surprised to hear Ki Sawung's words, he did not think that Ki sawung would say that.

"Is Ki Sawung not wrong if he will come with me, while Ki Sawung has never known me before" asked Rangga.

"Absolutely not because I believe that Rangga son is a swordsman who deserves to be example and imitated" said Ki Sawung.

Rangga smiled hearing Ki Sawung's words.

"Why Ki Sawung said so sure that I am a good person, I think Ki Sawung too soon to make a decision" said Rangga.

"No son Rangga I did not make the wrong decision because the sword in Rangga's possession is the sword of defense of truth" said Ki Sawung.

"This old man turned out to have a remarkable vision of the inner eye "said Rangga in the heart.

"If Ki Sawung says so well I won't reject him" Rangga said.

"Oh yes, regarding the wounds of nak Rangga , I suggest in a long time nak Rangga should not first use the energy in ,because if that Rangga nak do can cause adverse effects to the body of Nak Rangga himself" said Ki Sawung.

"Indeed why Ki" asked Rangga.

"After I examined Nak Rangga carefully it turns out that I found damage to the nerves of the muscles throughout the body of the child Rangga due to the exertion in the overreach,

so that's why for a long time I recommend that nak Rangga do not use deep energy before properly recovering the wound" said Ki Sawung.

Rangga was stifled to hear Ki Sawung's words, he was not too worried about him but all the people of Martapura who became the burden of his mind at this time.

Days changed days and months continued to pass without feeling it had been almost seven years Rangga in that place he was able to walk but not yet able to practice.

Every day Rangga can only watch Ki Sawung and Jaka Alap Alap who are practicing the technique, it feels like he is training with them but his hands and body are still not able to move freely.

Jaka Alap Alap also now grows into a handsome and tough young man and has a qualified devotion until when he can be aligned with a swordsman choose a match thanks to the guidance of his teacher Ki Sawung.

On one occasion Rangga was frank to Ki Sawung and Jaka Alap Alap about who he really was, hearing Rangga's explanation, Ki Sawung and Jaka Alap Alap were surprised and immediately became respectful to him.

In their feelings, they are both very happy and proud to be able to help and meet a great King Martapura who is famous for being good and also powerful mandraguna.

"We both really did not think that it turns out that son Rangga is a king from Martapura" said Ki Sawung.

"Look Ki I want to ask permission to Ki Sawung to tell Jaka Alap Alap to investigate Martapura I want to know how things are there" said Rangga.

"Gusti Prabu need not hesitate I have spoken to Jaka Alap Alap to serve Gusti prabu and he was sincere and sincere to serve Gusti" said Ki Sawung.

"Rightly what the teacher said Gusti from now on allow me to serve Gusti Prabu" said Jaka Alap Alap Alap.

"If it has become your decision then go now to Martapura to see the situation there and do not tell anyone my whereabouts ,because if they know my current situation I will only be a burden to them because my condition has not recovered "said Rangga.

"Good Gusti prabu" said Jaka Alap Alap then darted with his wind saipi science.

Since then Rangga can monitor and know the atmosphere and conditions in Martapura thanks to Jaka Alap Alap.

"Gusti prabu should Gusti go inside because the night is getting colder let the servant who is guarding outside" said Jaka Alap Alap.

Rangga was immediately awakened from the shadow of the past once he heard the words of Jaka Alap Alap.

"You should also go into Jaka Alap Alap, for some reason tonight the air is so very cold" Rangga said.

"Good Gusti prabu" said Jaka Alap Alap.

Meanwhile, after not finding Rangga, Arya Soma rushed to leave the place and returned to the palace and immediately reported to Dewi Sekar.

"Sorry Gusti my queen did not find Gusti prabu" said Arya Soma.

Kakang Patih does not need to apologize because kanda prabu has sent a message that he is fine" said Dewi Sekar.

Arya Soma, Pandan Wangi and Ariani Dewi were immediately relieved upon hearing the words of Dewi Sekar.

"Is Gusti Prabu still there Gusti queen" asked Arya Soma.

"Regarding that Kanda Prabu did not tell , but he is currently with Jaka Alap Alap there may be other purposes" said Dewi Sekar.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
