TIKZ [Moving To The Golden Age]
032 - SPRING WATER

"Teacher, how about you take a break first? It has been one month you slept only one to two hours." worried Telu, one of the students who appointed Djahan officially.

Other children still teach Djahan knowledge that he knows but not to be appointed students because of strict conditions that Djahan set for his students can not they meet.

But most of them consider Djahan a hero and a father who protects and guides them.

Therefore they cannot accept the most important condition, which is to leave Djahan when on the wrong path.

They swore their own lives would continue to be next to Djahan no matter what they had to go through. Even if they have to sacrifice their lives.

For indeed for them, the life in their bodies belongs to Djahan.

"Mr Mahapatih, the lady from your residence came to ask permission to meet you" said the waiter outside Djahan.

"Get him in." answered Papat.

"Sir, Idaline's promise has come."

The man stood up from his seat. He felt the weight on his back turn into a light cotton swab. Finally the day he was waiting for arrived. "Next time speak politely. Idaline is the name of Raden Ajeng Paramudita." reprimanded Djahan.

"Please forgive this lady-in-waiting."

Djahan did not pay attention to the mistake of the lady-in-waiting because he did not want to delay again, he asked permission to restore the body to the queen and went to her residence. There Fusena had been waiting for his arrival.

"I Djahan Mada saluted the Great Hermit." greetings Djahan slightly bowed his body.

Fusena who was looking at the park turned around as soon as she heard the sound of Djahan. He looked at Djahan's body from top to bottom. "Don't hesitate. We'll just unseal you straight away." he said.

"You know?"

"certain. Kalagemet studied the seal on the Trewelu tribe while running from Kuti's rebellion."

Trewelu was very anti on the outside world, therefore Fusena did not believe when she heard the news of Djahan's power sealed with the Trewelu tribal seal then Fusena went to ask directly to the chieftain.

And true, Kalagemet stayed some time in Trewelu when Djahan observed the royal people whether siding with the royal family or siding with the rebels. Kalagemet found the Trewelu tribe while lost in the forest.

Kalagemet had already returned to his place when Djahan brought news that the people were still supporting the royal family. So Djahan did not know Kalagemet had ever been in the Tribe of Trewelu until Kalagemet sealed his power.

"When you have helped restore the throne to Kalagemet, you revolt because upset Kalagemet always play with the ladies and even the wife and concubine officials. Given your services and Nararya's message to Guitarja, you're finally just sealed."

"The Great Father has sharp eyes" praised Djahan. Not even many people know about it.

After carrying out the rebellion, Djahan was in the deepest prison and sealing took place there. Kalagemet announced to everyone that he had done what was supposed to do to the rebel, people thought Kalagemet had killed Djahan in prison.

Kalagemet gave another identity to Djahan and left him in the palace of the concubines where his sisters, Gitarja and Wiyat, were. Kalagemet put Djahan there to watch him closely and to teach his younger brothers if he suddenly died.

And again, Kalagemet was a barren man. He made contact with a lot of women to make sure of that. He thought it was just a matter of incompatibility between his seed and the woman's womb he was in contact with.

If Kalagemet had no children, he would have let his two younger brothers marry and their son would have been raised by Djahan to be a great king.

But fate approves Kalagemet's initial plan for Djahan to teach his younger brother in his place who suddenly died. Kalagemet was poisoned to death just after moving the new capital that had been planned since the rebels had soiled his throne.

"Your eyes are also sharp can get talented people. Train them with a deformed body without magic and a tapa." Fusena stared at each of the maids and servants who passed by.

"They're all smart kids" Djahan said, staring at people.

"Teacher, I've prepared the potion" said Ekata stopping Fusena and Djahan who were throwing compliments at each other.

Fusena and Djahan nodded. They walked towards the backyard that had been given six layers of seals there were also cauldrons, altars, and resting places.

"Submerse yourself in the cauldron for a day and night. Then in five days continue to ascend at the altar that has been provided. In three days drink only holy water. Tonight I channeled the body aura to fill your body that has been empty for a dozen years." explained Fusena told Djahan to lie down. He put his hand on Djahan's chest and channeled the energy overnight.

Ekata got out of there when his teacher started treatment. He walked into his room accompanied by a lady-in-waiting as a guide. "Holy water is the water of the spring. The land will be better if it has not been touched by humans for the past year" he explained.

"Thank you for the explanation, sir."

••••••••••••••••••••

"I didn't expect the Great Sage to actually come. Though it has been ten years he has not blessed us and is lost without a trace no longer set foot in the Maja Kingdom." whispered the nobleman who attended the new year ceremony.

"It's nice to see you coming." welcome the queen to extend her hand. He pulled out his stretched hand as Fusena only stared at his hand at a glance in no mood to shake hands with him.

"I came here at Idaline's request. Next look at how you've decided." Fusena still could not receive the queen's welcome or kindness as long as the woman remained steadfast in her stance.

Ten years ago until the second Fusena came, the queen kept abomination.

"You're always wise. Let's go to the altar of ceremonies."

"Idaline didn't run away. I called him and then he would be under my guidance" said Fusena stepping beside the queen.

"Your eyes are very sharp. Then look at my other children." The Queen did not heed their fierce feud ten years ago nor the shameful thing that had just happened.

After all, the Great Sage was a Great Sage. Being his disciple was a matter of pride and glory. There will be much knowledge and blessings.

"They have great teachers, no need to look for others."

Fusena presided over the ceremony until it became hot and the sky turned orange. That day was the most serious. All the khusyu' followed event after event, no one came home until Fusena closed it.

Even the numbers increase over time, those who just heard Fusena was in the capital rushed to come and follow the series of events they found.

Fusena opened her eyes and looked at the sea of humans who were also slowly opening their eyes. "This war will be long because both sides have equal power. Don't call the others but keep in touch well." said Fusena did not want the problem to get worse.

If the Maja Kingdom involved other Kingdoms, the two great Kingdoms would not remain silent and would probably make war on a larger scale.

The two great kingdoms that are brothers will definitely use the Wengker Kingdom to eliminate the Maja Kingdom. But if the Maja Kingdom stands alone, they will be ashamed to gang up on the party alone.

"Since expelling the mongol army whose violence spread in the far country until it is heard to our ears, the do'a for the Maja kingdom continues to flow from the brothers and on the other islands. As the kingdom becomes a symbol of wisdom, the queen and king of the Maja kingdom will see a broad path."

The words of Fusena made many people remember the founder of Kerajan Maja who managed to trick the cruel people and use them and then drive them out cunningly.

Furthermore, there are still some boats that come to avenge but are blocked by the kingdom that is at the western end of the opposite island.

They were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief after hearing the rift in the Mongol body due to the large number of grandchildren and descendants of the officials who discovered and accepted the truth.

The cruelty is destroyed as they learn and deepen the truth.

"Long live queen! Long live queen! Long live the Kingdom of Maja!" shouted all his subjects including the nobles and ministers.

"I want to talk to your son" said Fusena down the stairs.

"good. Take the Great Hermit to the guest house."

Fusena followed the queen's handmaid and Hayan left the crowd after the queen told him to meet the Great Hermit.

Many people want to ask for blessings from the Great Sage who is on the way to the Keraton but they undo their intentions because the Great Sage will not give blessings except to the worthy. Even begging would not be able if not the person the Great Sage was aiming for.

"I Nirankara Hayan Wijaya saluted the Great Sage." Hayan lowered his body slightly.

There is no man on the island where he set foot except to submit to the decision of the Great Sage.

"Two of your men are gone and will not return" Fusena said briefly. He did not need to explain in detail where the two Hayan spies were going.

"Thank you for telling me."

Fusena left like the wind, no longer visible in the palace after Hayan straightened his body.

••••••••••••••••••••

On a wooden bed in a hut there was a pair of closed eyes, the eyes moved slowly and then opened. The glare of the room made him blink several times to get used to it.

"Fluene?" his murmured saw the siulet of a familiar person clasping his hands.

"The last second the portal was closed. So I'm back here." Fusena let go of her hand which she unknowingly grasped the hand of Idaline. In Fusena's heart, he continued to blame himself for making Idaline lie weak. Just yell at him he can't.

"So.." said weakly Idaline.

"I'm sorry I can't open it anytime soon. It took ten years to gather great energy for the dimensional portal to open." explained Fusena.

"You've been trying so hard. Don't be sad like that. I want to rest, my body is tired." Idaline turned her back on Fusena and cried silently there. Hope is gone already.

"Rest a comfortable rest. Three more days we'll start the journey." Fusena stroked Idaline's hair fondly.

"No!!" The newly closed eyes of Idaline opened again. "There are springs that are connected to the modern world. It's in the mountains full of teak trees!" Idaline explained with imagined spirit the contents of the letter from Cakra.

"alright. I'll check it out." Fusena said she had no intention of taking Idaline.

"I want to see it so I can go back. Yea? Yea?" pinta Idaline holds Fusena's hand.

"Enough rest first, ma'am." Fusena pulled his hand not wanting to be persuaded by Idaline's seduction. His cousin is still weak.

"My legs are very strong for walking and running," Idaline went down with great difficulty. He walked a few steps and staggered and Fusena caught Idaline who almost fell to the ground.

"Please, Fusena. I've been here a long time, please let me into the spring," Idaline cried desperately, she couldn't wait ten years. For months he did not meet his loved ones.

Fusena patted Idaline on the back trying to calm her down. "Road the chariot comfortably," the breaker could not see Idaline's eyes tear apart. Slowly he rubbed the liquid thing that soaked Idaline's cheeks.

"Thank you," Idaline hugged Fusena tightly and continued her crying there.

That afternoon also Idaline, Fusena, and Ekata left for the place according to the contents of the letter Cokro. It did not take long to get there because the two memorized every inch of the Maja Kingdom, especially Fusena who memorized every inch of the island they were on and some islands around him.

"The aura in the letter is the same as here. But the problem is that the guard mentioned has returned to become a statue" said Ekata referring to the statue that the three of them were surrounded.

"It's a condition because using too much force, the spring connected to it crystallizes the guard with a mixture of water and soil in order to save his soul" Fusena explained.

Idaline sat leaning against the statue, she straightened her tired legs, and resignedly, there was no other path she knew. "Has Roni and Aunt Lili returned safely?" lirih Idaline asked peppered feelings of envy.

"Yes. His soul is back" replied Fusena.

"Thank God," Idaline smiled and hoped that the two of them would soon meet their loved ones. There is no point in envy for the happiness of others.

After some clouds passed them, Ekata decided to look for materials for his training. While Fusena waited for the silent Idaline not to move from her place continued to stare at the shallow pool of spring water.

"Sir, let's go" asked Fusena.

Idaline moved her eyes into Fusena's eyes. Staring at him a moment ago Idaline closed her eyes removing the empty thoughts from her brain.

"Come," Idaline welcomed Fusena's invitation.

Idaline thinks there will be no progress to find a way home if it continues to be in the same place.

He decided to join Fusena on a long journey that was a step away.
