The Warrior Of The Seven Swords
The Singgi Luhur region

Early in the morning, the sun had not appeared yet but the sound of cock crowing had boomed, all the students of Resik Jiwo had gathered in the courtyard. They all wanted to let go of the five disciples for the big match held in the duchy of Gendingan.

They did not leave last night, Mahesa considered the exhaustion of the disciples who were still training yesterday. If they leave overnight, of course their bodies will not rest well. After all the journey taken was only a day overnight, there was still another day before the day the match started.

" Nduk, you really want to come," asked Nyi Sumbi to her daughter.

" Injih ma'am, Indira wants to come. Then there's Wardani's aunt, Indira will sleep with teacher's aunt" replied Indira full of confidence.

Nyi Sambi just let out her breath. Actually the middle-aged woman was really heavy taking off her daughter. Removing Damar alone this weight Indira even wanted to participate, even though he did not participate in the match.

" Well are you all ready?" asked Lingga to the five children who answered a nod. The five children also say goodbye to their friends and of course to their great teacher, Ki Prama. The last person to say goodbye to Ki Prama is of course Damar.

" L, remember. Take care. Protect your heirloom. He would be dangerous if he was in the wrong hands. Romo feels tomorrow's game won't be as simple as it looks. If you're desperate call me Romo."

" Njiih romo, sendiko dawuh. Damar will be careful."

Ki Prama hugged Damar tightly, as did Nyi Sambi. Although Damar was not born from his stomach but his milk flowed into his son's body. There was a sense of heaviness in Nyi Sambi's heart when releasing Damar.

" Mom, I'll be fine. Don't worry, mother."

As if knowing Nyi Sambi's worries, Damar hugged her mother again. Nyi Sambi nodded, the woman kissed Damar's tall head already past him.

The five children were added with Indira entering the horse carriage with Wardani. Mahesa and Lingga were riding their horses. Mahesa will be in front of the train and Lingga will be in the back of the train. It aims to better secure children who are on the train.

In the car some of the children fell asleep. The morning was still so dark that they were of course still sleepy. Even Indira also sleeps with his head in Wardani's lap. But not with Damar, the young man was fully awake. Sometimes he even looked out of the train through the window that was there.

" Not sleeping le?" ask Wardani.

" Not sleepy aunt. Damar slept early last night, too, so now his eyes look fresher" Damar replied with a smile.

Slowly the sky turned bright. The sunlight was scattering between the trees. The sound of birds with a sautan indicates the approaching morning. The coachman paused to turn off the torch on the front side and on the back side of the train. After that they continued their journey to the Duchy of Gendingan.

The journey smoothly free of obstacles until they want to enter an area called Singgi Luhur. The coachman named Wibawa suddenly stopped his train making Mahesa and Lingga a little surprised.

" What's wrong with Uncle Wibawa?" ask lingga curious.

" Entering the region of Sungi Luhur we must be careful Den Mahesa. This area is famous for its robberies," explained Wibawa.

" Good uncle, I'll tell everyone."

Wibawa nodded, Mahesa turned her horse to walk back telling her what the coachman's uncle had said. Wibawa himself is not just a coachman coachman. He is a confidant of Ki Prama who is deliberately assigned to escort his student's son.

" All beware ahead there may be a welcome from the owner of the area we pass."

All who are in the train of course understand the implied meaning of Mahesa's words. All the disciples of Resik Jiwo were holding tightly to their swords as a sign of vigilance.

" Don't be afraid, stay alert!"

Wardani warned the six children. It's the first time they've come out of a row. Things like this they've never faced before. The restless face of the child. Damar is not. The boy even peeked at a gap that was right behind the coachman so that he could see the situation on the front road of the car.

Just a bunch of fools. Don't worry, they're nothing compared to you.

The sound that entered his ears only made Damar smile faintly. However, it must be heart. Damar feels he has a duty to protect everyone who is here. Even including his teacher's uncle and aunt.

Tuplak.

The sound of horse legs followed by the wooden wheel of the carriage was running increasingly into the dalma of the Sunggi Luhur area. Everyone put up vigilance.

" New prey!"

" It's been a long time to not get something like this. It seems they are the ones in chief."

And sure enough, the group of robbers had been watching the first time Mahesa's entourage entered Singgi Luhur. They really smiled widely because they would get good hunting goods. The group of robbers certainly did not know if the train group was a group of students. What they understood was that the horse-drawn carriage was a rich man who had a lot of gold.

" We're being stalked, you're all set."

Warning Ki Wibawa, that is how the children of the students called the coachman immediately made everything in the train ready to be ready with attacking conditions.

Shuuuuh

Tap tap tap

Ngiiiiics

The horse grimaced at the sudden stop as there were some people who arrived standing before them. More precisely surround them.

" You are in our territory. Hand over your possessions, then you can get out of here."

A man of great height and long curly hair with a big mace in his right hand stood in the middle of the road against Mahesh's horse.

Mahesa politely got off the horse and looked at the big man's face closely.

" I'm sorry, kids, we're not rich people who have the possessions you want. We're just a bunch of students on a trip."

" Don't say much, quickly give up whatever you have. Or I'll bury your bodies here right now."

Mahesa is still trying to explain the situation of those who do not have property. After all he felt he did not have to deal with this bunch of robbers. But it seems that the negotiations he did were useless, because the big man's men began to digernag Lingga and his students behind.

" You're really wrong to pick a kid's opponent."

Hiaaat

Wuuuus

Tap buk

Damar immediately jumped out of the car making Mahesa and Lingga very surprised. Wibawa who had been preparing to fight was also a little stunned by what Damar did.

" Never dare you touch my brother."

" Tck, you little brat wants to be pretentious to be a hero. Attack!"

Hiaaaa
