True Martial Arts
Old Man in the Kubangan

Beside the grandfather, there was a long dagger that was deeply stuck in the ground. The long and large keris almost matched the sword.

Although it has a different shape from keris in general, this keris emits a strong aura that does not know what kind of aura it is. The handle is gold, as if made from the essence of thousands of gold bars which are then compacted to shrink.

Kala is still sad about his hut. Not to mention that everything was lost for him. Helping a grandfather like this will be very burdensome. But he is no ordinary man. 

"It's not time to be sad. There are still people I need to save before night time picks up. I have to take this grandpa to a warm place!"

Kala's determination is so strong. It's not easy for him to be selfish. Kala brought the kris towards the snicker. Kala saw that there was a keris holster tied to the grandfather's back. Instead of bothering to bring the kris as well as the kekek, then just put the kris on the sheath that is tied on the grandfather's back.

After the kris was ensured to be safe and would not stab anything or anyone, Kala carried the body of the grandfather. But then Kala frowned, because holding the grandfather it felt like he was holding cotton, not a human. Kala did not know whether he had gained power, or whether the grandfather's body was too.

There's nothing left here, Kala leaves soon. Throughout his journey in search of a warm place, he felt very energetic compared to the previous moments.

The ability of his eyes in the middle of this kind of fog was also very good, unlike earlier. In fact he could see ants that were at the top of a tall tree, or a small wormhole far away three spears in front.

While enjoying the rare sight in his eyes, his eyes were extremely sharp now and this was a sensation he would not forget.

Kala has been going on for a long time. Not tired, but there are only worries. The Loro Twins area will be very cold if night has arrived, especially with the sudden appearance of cold fog. Because he did not find a cave or anything like that, Kala decided to make a dome emergency protection— that he had made first when his poverty was much worse.

The house, or more can be said as a shelter will be similar in shape to a coconut shell that is split in two. The branches and branches will be formed curved to each other like a dome, then coated by leaves and clumps dry so that the dome becomes warm.

Not waiting any longer, Kala lowered the snicker from his sling. The grandfather's keris was removed from its cage, used to clean the area of prospective shelter from the grass. Actually he was a bit hesitant to use this big keris into a machete, the aura of the keris felt very grand, maybe only his feelings but it affected his decision in treating the kris.

Kala gathers all the branches that are longer in size. After that, he went again to cut a fresh bush. No doubt, once a slash of keris then the bushes are sliced perfectly! And when only wearing three slashes, it was enough because so many weeds had collapsed. The smell of fresh grass smells, Kala likes this. All materials start to be assembled.

First, the wood is bent and linked to resemble a dome. Kala hooks this using a natural rope: the weeds are twisted to be strong.

The dome was quite large, presumably enough for two people to use. Kala assembled it almost perfectly even though the equipment he used was just a kris. 

The skeleton of the dome is finished, it's time for the weeds to get a share. Kala tied this weed to the dome frame, tied it very painstakingly and patiently, because if it is too fast it will create so many gaps for mosquitoes.

Slowly, the dome began to be covered by weeds on the outside, and left a small hole on one side as the entrance.

Until all the surfaces are warmly covered, Kala begins to lay the stones as a foundation. The size of the stone varies, because that's all you can find around here. The stones are laid in a row and thoroughly at the bottom of the dome, except at the entrance of the dome. Laying the stone was a time-consuming step, Kala had to look for it everywhere. Never felt before, looking for a stone in fact so difficult and complicated

After all about the dome was done, Kala made sure nothing was lacking before finally putting the body of the grandfather inside. That way, the grandfather got more and more sound in his unconsciousness.

It's getting dark. Kala immediately completed his final step: making a bonfire as a warmer and protection from wild beasts.

Kala went back to look for a branch that was dry and not wet. It's all very difficult to do right now in the rainy season, almost all the branches are wet. You have to look more carefully and far away.

For ordinary humans, this would be very difficult to do. Heavy fog and rainy season! However, Kala is not just any human being, of course the work he does cannot be done by ordinary humans.

He gathered quite a number of dry branches and branches, for he knew where such things were.

But again he found trouble, how can he light a fire?
