The Twin Swordsman
The Origin of the Book of Blood Swords (part 1)

"according to what I have heard, the person who studies the book will become a person with very high abilities who is very powerful and difficult to find a match, he said, in other words he will rule this martial world," Ki Lukajaya said.

"Was the teacher interested in getting the book" Durpala asked,

"Haaa..haaa...haaaa,"ki Lukajaya said with a laugh after hearing the words of his student who was considered funny.

Meanwhile somewhere else.

After traveling for no less than two days and passing through several forests finally arrived Lasmini and Rukmini in the valley of the soul,but they were astonished because the place they met looked lonely and not maintained at all.

"Is this true in the valley of the soul" Lasmini asked himself, as if he could not believe it, because he saw no one there.

"Why is this place so deserted Lasmini," asked Rukmini, full of question marks.

"I also don't know if we should go inside and check" Lasmini said,

"you're right let's hurry in" said Rukmini impatiently.

Then the two of them went into the paddle, after looking to and fro not find a single person and they sat on a bench to rest their exhausted bodies.

"Have they moved Rukmini, what do you think" asked Lasmini,

"i think it could be so, if you look at the situation of this store it seems they have long left this place" replied Rukmini.

Unbeknownst to the two of them, there was a pair of eyes watching their movements from the top of a thick-leaved tree near where they sat.

"Who are the two women and what do they want in this store," said the man,

"all right I'll keep an eye on them" said the man again.

"Then what are our next steps Lasmini," asked Rukmini, who was,

"because it's late and soon we should stay here" Lasmini replied.

Soon after night came crickets and wolf roars in the middle of the forest that might be starving,

meanwhile, in the courtyard of the valley of the soul, Lasmini and Rukmini were sitting near the fireplace to warm their bodies.

"I'm curious about them, why should I just meet them" the man asked himself, out of curiosity, that man came down from the tree and jumped , and landing near them, they were shocked and immediately prepared to pull out their swords.

"Wait for me not to mean anything bad to you" said the man,

"your arrival was very surprising we quickly told you who you are and why you are in this place" Lasmini asked fiercely, saying,

"i should have asked you, not you" replied the man,

"what do you mean," asked Rukmini could not remain silent,

"i am a disciple of this church and who you are" the man asked,

"we are from the Black Rose school my name is Lasmini and this is my fellow student Rukmini, we were told by the teacher to come here to meet Ki Manggala" Lasmini replied,

"then what's the name of the kisanak" Lasmini asked, asking,

"my name is Subadra" replied the man.

"Then you know where Ki Manggala is" asked Rukmini,

Subadra did not immediately answer Rukmini's question he looked sad when he remembered his teacher,

"you are too late my teacher is gone he passed away a few months ago" Subadra said sadly.

"What..!! then who killed Ki Manggala," asked Lasmini in surprise.

"My teacher was killed when he helped Markuraka fight against Martapura in Gede forest" Subadra said,

"not that Ki Manggala is a mandraguna," asked Rukmini to Lasmini,

"you are right Rukmini" Lasmini replied,

"Do you know who Ki Manggala was" asked Lasmini,

"yes I still remember that time the teacher faced with the kingdom of Martapura patih named Arya Soma," replied Subadra,

"so in this place you are the only one who survived" Lasmini asked later,

"right then when I saw the teacher had died then I decided to run away and come back here" Subadra replied,

"i want to become stronger and I will avenge the death of the teacher" Subadra replied earnestly,

"that's a good student who is devoted to his teacher" Rukmini said,

"Subadra because the night is getting late we want to rest, and you want to join us" asked Lasmini,

"no I want to go there's something I have to do" Subadra replied and left.

Because it was late Lasmini and Rukmini decided to rest and Subdara left the place.

In the dim morning it seemed that two horses were chasing, they were Sugati and Sugala who were riding to perform the duties of his teacher.

Soon Sugati and Sugala entered the teak forest and they decided to rest in the forest.

"Is Martapura still far from here Sugati "asked Sugala,

"you really think it takes two to three days to get there" Sugati replied

"i heard that Martapura was led by a young king and sakti mandraguna was really so" asked Sugala,

"it's true that besides being very blessed he is also loved by his people, and also you need to know that in addition to his king sakti mandraguna patihnya also no less powerful ,so if we get there we better avoid the things that can make dealing with them," Sugati explained,

"all right I understand," replied Sugala,

"we better continue the journey because the sun is getting hot" said Sugati, then they both leave the place and continue their journey.

In the scorpion paddokan looks Ki Lukajaya is sitting pensively alone, he is still reminded of the story of his student Baskara, regarding the book of blood swords that now appear again.

While Ki Lukajaya was thinking about the blood sword book, suddenly someone knocked on the door...

"entering "said Ki Lukajaya, a moment later enter Baskara, Baskara,

"what is Baskara" asked Ki Lukajaya,

" this is how my teacher wanted to tell me that yesterday other than me and Durpala it turns out that there were other people who also listened to the person's talk about the blood sword of the teacher" Baskara said.

"This will really be an interesting thing, from now on we have to prepare ourselves to follow the hunt for the book" said Ki Lukajaya, who was not involved, then he got up from his seat and went out of the house to invite Baskara to come with him.

After a long journey home from the valley of the soul, Lasmini and Rukmini arrived at the Black Rose store where the teacher was.

"Have you met Ki Manggala" asked Nyi Sarweda, hearing the teacher's question they both threw eyes at each other,

"why just shut up quickly answer my question!!"nyi Sarweda said with emotion,

"we didn't meet with Ki Manggala's teacher because he was gone" Lasmini replied with fear,

"there's no way you mean Lasmini don't beat around the obvious!"nyi Sarweda said furiously,

" Ki Manggala has left the world" Rukmini said ,

"what..!!"shouted Nyi Sarweda with surprise, "it is so Lasmini," asked Nyi Sarweda with a rage about to explode,

"be.really a teacher," Lasmini stammered.

"You know where Manggala's brother has died quickly say" Nyi Sarweda said impatiently.

Then Lasmini told him all that he had heard from Subadra.

"Badly you are Arya Soma I will avenge the death of Manggala's brother with the death of Arya Soma and I will beat up Martapura," said Nyi Sarweda very angry.

"Even the teacher there is something I will ask the teacher" Lasmini said ,

"what questions Lasmini is quick to ask don't make me more angry" Nyi Sarweda said,

"this is how the teacher yesterday I heard someone mention the book of the blood sword, what the teacher knows about the book" Lasmini said.

"What..!! the blood sword book says you.!!"nyi Sarweda said with great surprise,

"really a teacher" Lasmini replied,

"where did you hear about the book of the blood sword" Nyi Sarweda asked them both. Lasmini then told him where he had heard about the blood sword book to his teacher clearly.

Nyi Sarweda looked mangosteen after hearing the story from Lasmini,

"it turns out that after a long time of disappearance the book has now reappeared", said Nyi Sarweda
