True Martial Arts
A Beautiful Demon

Alang is still new in this world, yes although his knowledge is still mysterious, but he does not have a children's fairy tale.

“I have a little children's fairy tale that my father used to tell me,” haggard Kaia indirectly.

“You were so cold when you told me, I didn't want to cold story.”

“No for this time.” Kaia took a deep breath before telling such a long story.

About the journey of a little man in the middle of the night, looking for a candlelight that flew, leading him into the forest. Sometimes Kaia sings, because that's how she tells a fairy tale.

The light led him out of the house. Heading to the garden and jumping over the fence. Hap! He was at the border of a creepy forest.

The light whispered, quietly, a melodious voice, fending off the evil demons lurking from behind the sharp shrub.

The light flew over the path, leading him to a very dark place.

But unfortunately, oh, fireflies will not be visible when the light is rampant. Oh, unfortunately, fireflies will dance in the deep darkness.

Trust me, my son, oh my gosh, not everything that looks bad is really bad.

“But, I'm not your son.”

“Can you shut up?”

“Oh, you're back to the cold nature,” said Kala half-pitched.

“So, what can you pick from this fairy tale?”

“The fireflies are beautiful.” I looked at the empty sky. “Lain times we will see fireflies again. Without war. But after all my work is done.”

“Yeah, it can.” Kaia also looked at the empty sky. So is Alang.

“When can we walk?” tanya Kala broke the silence.

“Indeed, what else is your current destination?”

“Finding out the mastermind behind the loss of interspatial ring dimensions.” When he lied, he was actually more afraid of his teacher's predictions about the dark. “I think we still have the energy to continue the journey.”

“Yes, but for sure, I need a bag to store my own things.” Kaia's tone was cold, Kala was sweating coldly, of course all of Kaia's items including underwear were in her interspatial ring, and she could be free whenever she saw it.

“Sure.” Kala pretended not to know then took out a leather backpack from the interspatial ring, following with some Kaia items.

“Why are you this bag so small? And why did you only take out a small portion of my stuff?”

“Don't bring more stuff, it just makes your back hurt,” explained Kala, “again I won't want to see ...”

“See what?” Kaia caught Kala's eyes sharp.

“No, it's nothing. To be sure, I'm not who you think I am.”

In the end Kaia could only trust Kala and then pack her things. After breakfast, they continued their journey. The main goal is to get out of Telu Forest immediately.

According to the map, next to Telu Forest, there is Ireng Root Forest, Flower Forest, and Grail Abang Forest. Among all, Ireng Root is very dangerous by creepy plants. The forest, there are many mysteries in it. While the Cawan Abang Forest is the safest and largest forest, as a trade route and also adjacent to large cities, dams, and busy ports.

The Grail Abang Forest borders the Black Moon Kingdom. The border itself is a strong high wall that extends from the south of Java to the northern tip of Java, even the beach alone is not separated from the link of the wall. Everything is done because the kingdom is so terrible, many events beyond reason occur there, for them very prevalent, for example is the science of witchcraft and slavery of invisible creatures.

For ordinary people in the central-western region of Java, hearing the name Black Moon can make their feathers stand, including Kaia. He was so frightened when he found out that he was going to the border city with the kingdom.

“No-no, we better stay in Geowedari than to be in the Black Moon even if only for a second!”

“Who said we were going to the Black Moon? Even to its border wall it might not.”

There was no road here, they had to jump over the bushes that were still wet by the morning dew. There was a road, but it was a good distance away from where they were now, Kala chose to cut the road even though it was not safe.

Kala seemed to enjoy the trip, but actually he did not enjoy this at all. The death of many citizens overnight coupled by the death of Wironegoro made him very depressed. Even Kala said that this was the biggest defeat and the biggest cowardice. However, he tried to forget the incident last night by leaving here immediately.

The road is so steep that it has to jump over a deep ravine. They meet the valley, on the left-right side they have high limestone cliffs covered with moss and grass.

After passing through the valley, they finally met the path that is usually passed by hunters, since then their steps are faster because the road is sloping.

Until noon, the sun seemed to sting their backs. Sweat began to wet the clothes, except Alang. Kala decided to take a break.

“Usually you will have the heart to make me tired of walking,” Kaia said before sipping water.

“Enjoy the journey,” reply A short lace that is leaning on a shady mango tree. “Kaia, can you get me the mango above? Looks fresh and sweet?”

“Why didn't you tell Alang?”

Kala glanced at Alang on his shoulder, the bird shook his head, Kala again glanced at Kaia as well as gestured.

“Ah, why should I ...” Lazily, Kaia jumped onto this not-so-high tree, picked up some mangoes and threw it down, Kaia came back down.

Kala picked up one of the mangoes Kaia threw. Peeled with a small knife and ate it. It was sweet and really refreshing, it was the tastiest mango he had ever eaten!

Kaia cleaned her hands and took one of the fresh mango pieces from Kala's hand. Only Alang that tastes reluctant to taste the mango.

“Alright, it looks like we have to walk,” Kala said after finishing his final cut. Kaia nodded, after all she did not feel tired at all.

“Wait a minute, Honey, let me serve me first.” Kala's steps stopped when she heard those words.

At first Kala thought that Kaia was speaking like that, but Kaia also seemed to be confused and looked for the origin of the voice.

“I'm above you baby.”

The three of them pitched up and found a woman in white with fair white skin descending slowly until she stepped on the ground as light as cotton.

Then with one jolt, his clothes came off. Shows the contents behind the thin transparent white cloth. Kaia bought shocked eyes, but she was not passionate at all.

Alang, he seemed to see nothing, feeling very confused to the point of panicking.

Although Kala.

“How can you appear from above?” Kala frowned.

Now Kaia became very shocked by Kala's mediocre attitude. It could be admitted, that this was the sexiest body Kaia had ever seen, not to mention being naked. But Kala, he is a man, should Kala be losing his mind and lunging at the woman.

“Let's serve me,” said the woman reduced the distance with Kala.

Kala was very uninterested, he just felt that this woman was crazy or that she was a ghost. Of course, Kala does not experience sexual attraction here. So that as the woman advanced, Kala retreated.

“Stop your step.” Kala said coldly.

“Eak?”

“You didn't see it, Alang?” ask Kala weirdly. “She's right in front of you. Are you serious?”

“Eak eak!”

“Then, I already know what this really is.” Kala shook his head slowly, picked up Keris Garuda Puspa, jumped in front of the mango tree, then slashed his keris.

“Stop that, stop!” the woman screamed as if she was in pain.

Kala did not stop his work, he still continued to slash the tree until one more slash the tree fell.

“There are last words?”

“What's wrong with you!”

“A ferocious Petina.” As she chuckled in awe before finishing the final slash, the woman kneeled and slowly disappeared into a black smoke that smelled fragrant.

Kala looked around, where the mango tree fell on the trees and bushes. He just realized, there are many human skulls and other bones. Luckily his teacher taught him a lesson about women, so he survived today.

“Kaia, the mango was poisonous. I've heard of this kind of poison. There are some plants that if eaten by the fruit, then your mind will be under the control of the plant. Usually your meat will be eaten,” said Kala casually, “if you meet a tree boy, do not get angry if I hold you.”

Kaia who was still confused could not say anything. Kala's attitude that is not at all provoked by passion makes him not to think to ask.

“Why are you, why do you seem to have no interest in that angel-looking woman at all?”

“What's really why? Her beauty is ordinary.” Kala walked first leaving Kaia behind him.

Kaia. “She's the prettiest woman I've ever met, and you're saying that her beauty is ordinary?!”

“That means you've never seen Maheswari.”

“That means Maheswari is prettier than the woman?!”

“Yes, that's just for me. She's a little prettier, just a little.”

“And from your story, he seems to like you. You, how can you ...”

“How can what? I don't care who loves me, likes me, hates me. After all, not very useful.”

“Hmph! If that beautiful Maheswari you take for granted, what about me.” Kaia's words sound like fishing.

“You are the fiercest girl I have ever met and I know.” Kala laughed off. “I'm just kidding, you're the pretty girl I've met and I know. I'm serious.”

At first Kaia's face looked angry, but then her face turned as red as a tomato as she blushed in embarrassment. Well, even though he was a bit doubtful of Kala's words. As for Alang, the little bird was as strong as it could resist laughing.

They continued their steps cheerfully. The road sloping indeed makes the heart happy, many sights that can be enjoyed here in addition to fresh air rather than having to bother climbing on the steep road.

It was time to cross at the intersection. There are two different paths, Kala opens the map but one of the roads is not on the map at all, worse Kala does not know which path is on the map.

This map is newly created, and there is only one road on this map with no intersections. If so, the wrong path should be a newly created one, but these two streets looked very old. He scratched his head confused.

“Left or right?” tanya Kaia was also confused.

“I don't know which way is right, which is wrong,” replied Kala, “this way is not on the map.”

Kala told Alang to look around from above, which roads are similar to maps and which roads lead to deadlock or are dangerous.

While Alang darted upwards, Kala leaned against the tree while vertical water. Kaia did not know what to do, but she did not want to sit down, her legs were still strong walking for a full night. I don't know why Kala changed, becoming a person who is too relaxed.

Not long after, Alang returned while explaining what he saw. The road to the right leads to an old house that seems inhabited, Alang did not dare to confirm that because the house is very creepy. The road to the right is the road that corresponds to the map, it recalls Alang. The bird added that behind the old house, there is a creepy gloomy walkway that is also connected to the road on the map.

“Populated old house, who is crazy enough to build a house in this creepy forest?” Kala did not think. “But if it is uninhabited, we can sleep there tonight.”

“No-no.” Kaia refused quickly. “The house must be creepy.”

“You haven't seen it straight away, it's not too scary, is it?” Kala smiled widely with eyes glaring at Alang. The bird nodded, but its body shuddered in horror. “It would be nice if the house is inhabited, we can hitchhike for one night. That's also if the occupants are not ghosts.”

Laugh before choosing the left. Kaia was afraid not to play this time, she was very agitated and her steps trembled. Sleeping in a creepy house, what if ghosts would eat them? Or follow them even after leaving the house?

Not to mention the road is getting creepy longer. Here the trees dry up and the ground is black. Very quiet, crickets seemed reluctant to make a sound, even the sound of their footsteps echoed throughout the forest. The sun is covered with dry branches that are tight, making the atmosphere of the forest even more creepy.

Kaia involuntarily approached Kala until she finally covered Kala's arm. Well, even if the road is only a path, but they can still go hand in hand. Kala let Kaia hold her arm, sometimes the cold girl likes to be unconscious.

Calculation of Alang is correct. Starting from here, there are traces of shoes or horse treads. It does not reduce the serenity, it adds to it.

From far away, a building is seen among the grass. The longer it becomes clear that the old building is emblazoned. The building has a more traditional shape than the usual public buildings. There are long leather shoes on the porch of the house that are not too big.
