Two Dimensional Knights Episode 1 "PRAHARA In MINANG REALM
Chapter 1 " The Scabbard "

Karatau is stuck in the head

Babuah babungo balun

Marantau bujang

The house of the balun

It was the customary petition that made their families to this day settle far from their hometowns, Minangkabau .

Sinto's father has been living in Jakarta since he was 11 years old because he joined his uncle who had lived in Jakarta. Likewise sinto's mother, as a native woman minang youth was raised in Jakarta because her father, atuk sinto, was a soldier who served in the capital . Sinto is the second of three children and the three of them were also born and raised in Jakarta . Sinto's sister named Gadih Ranti is currently in fourth semester at a state university in Jakarta . While Sinto himself is currently still sitting in High School while his sister Randi is attending school in SD 'bench , Even though they grew up in a little overseas they often also heard stories about their hometown games such as about how thick the customs there are so that no matter how advanced the technology and development of the times was never able to shake the traditional fort there . According to the story of the people there prefer to live traditionally and not so interested in modern technology on the grounds of wanting to keep the tradition of the ancestors . Although this feels a little strange to the sinto, but the beauty of nature and culture that is always told ornya as if to dismiss the strangeness that arises in his mind .

The beloved buds of the snake shoots that arrive .. (hehehe . Just kidding )

This year it seems that all the longing for sinto will be erased because at the end of this year his father decided to go home to visit his hometown . I don't know why have been living abroad for so long this time Sinto's parents decided to go home to visit his hometown . Perhaps an already unstoppable longing and a threatening viral pandemic in the capital make their family situation a little complicated . The lockdown policy implemented by the government makes Sinto's father who is a restaurant entrepreneur can no longer work and mumpung is also currently on holiday at the end of the year so Sinto's father invites them all for a while stay in the village. While waiting for the atmosphere of the capital back conducive .

Infinitely excited sinto heart and his brothers because finally their intention to see the hometown kesampung kesua . Sinto imagines looking at the beautiful realm of minang which he had only seen on Television and in the video clips of songs - minang songs that his father often bought .

But somehow one night his father spoke to Sinto in half a whisper

" Sinto, please, You have to promise when in the village later do not make much trouble and do not try - try to compartmentalize the goods in Rumah Gadang except with permission and knowledge of father and atuk ".

Sinto asked - asked in his heart but he chose to keep the question in his head .

" Maybe just because I like the prank so dad reminded anyways there are very thick customs could be if we are not polite can be punished by custom "sinto said in heart

Finally the anticipated time comes and they are family is currently in a ship that will dock precisely in the port bayur bayur west Sumatra desert .

Along the journey of imaginary Sinto continues to wander around what will be done later once in the yard. Certainly there is one thing that most attracted his heart so far is the typical martial of minangkabau commonly called silek or silat . according to atuk sinto silek or silat minang it is very dangerous .

" soft but very deadly at first glance .. "

said atuk while practicing a kind of silat crack .

Atuknya very often tell about the martial arts that one and therefore Sinto who really likes the martial arts became curious and really wanted to learn ralek minang and certainly this time it will not be in vain .

In the middle of the ocean the delusion is becoming - so . The boy seemed to take a deep breath while looking at the cluster of islands that seemed to be lined up neatly far ahead .

Suddenly he came while carrying two glasses of warm drink . one glass he gave to sinto while the other glass he drank with pleasure. After sipping a drink a few times he spoke while looking seriously at his grandson's sinto.

" Sinto , how old are you now ?

" Sixteen years, why ? " Synto

Atuk Sinto is now eighty-two years old but his body looks still strong and healthy because As a former soldier he is used to forged by a disciplined and healthy way of life .

The old man took a deep breath and then said

" The world is very vast and out there many people believe in mystical stories and so many events that sometimes support the truth of the stories although sometimes it is not able to be explained with logic and common sense, do you believe in stories like that sinto ? ".

Sinto was surprised to be asked such a question because Rarely - rarely oruk talk as seriously as that but in the heart of Sinto then tried to connect the question oruknya with the words of his father the other day when they were still there home . And sinto then chose to ask back to provoke the conversation oruk become more profound .

" That means tuk ? " Sinto pura - pura blo'on .

" i mean other natural life that is located different from the nature that we occupy is the invisible nature of the Eye !! " Seriously more serious . Maybe because he saw a confused expression on sinto's face .

Sinto also began to understand the direction of the speech oruk and his father the other day and then in his heart he tried to conclude something

But the basic Sinto who is a nosy boy rather than answering silly questions or he prefers to prank the old man .

" It means the same as the Parallel World, right ? " He knew the concept of parallel worlds from the Dragon Ball comics he loved the most .

This time it was precisely his or her who frowned because they did not understand the meaning of sinto

" Parallel World is a theory that calls this universe consists of millions of planets and each planet has the strongest fighter and Every strongest fighter will fight for the champion in the tournament called the martial tournament in the world, the first champion will get seven dragon balls that can grant one request "

Sinto explained in the style of the teacher in front of the class and After that he grinned and laughed giggly

Atuknya more confused and finally realized that he was being bullied by his granddaughter and before he spoke to santamprat sinto nosy boy immediately answered seriously

" Yes yes tuk , Sinto understands the meaning of oruk , ghost right ?? Do you mean a kind of demon, dedemit, gondoruwo or what else ? Jin and jun . Are there jinn and jun ?? It can be seen in the movie , But sorry dehuk like sinto as a millennial boy and modern do not not believe things so far because there is no scientific evidence or facts that prove it does exist , why do you ask that ??? less work, right ?? . Weird ...!! " knock sinto

" Why is that so ? " sino repeats the question

Atuknya did not become angry at hearing the answer sinto and while taking a deep breath and deep he just started the story .

" Like this sinto, the ancient Minangkabau people strongly believe that everything is created with a pair like there is black and there is white, There is good and there is bad , there is a long and there is a short, and so on "

Atuk took another deep breath and seemed to be confused to explain where and how to quickly explain so that sinto easier to understand .

" So also with this nature there are sinto real and there are also supernatural , That's why the minangkabau is referred to as the minangkabau realm instead of the land of minangkabau unlike elsewhere and from there also the ancient Minang People took the expression of Berguru to nature or Nature Takambang become a teacher ". Definitely swerving

" It means that the ancient minang people are very confident in things - things smell mystical and superstition donk tuk ? " Tanya Sinto scoffs

" Hmhhh, I guess that's what Sinto "oruk answered

Not yet finished they told me the sound of Sinto's mother calling them to eat

" Oh let's eat first because the sinto stomach is already hungry" while rubbing his stomach sintopun passed and the old man can only shake and follow the sinto from behind.

After lunch their chat felt more exciting until entering the time magrib entered and they also prayed magrib on board .

After the conversation with the oruk sinto conjecture about the oddity in his hometown getting stronger .

Sinto awoke from a deep sleep and when he looked out it turned out that the ship they were riding was already in the bayur port of western Sumatra . Just now he gazed to the mainland He has been glued with the beauty of the architecture of a typical minangkabau building Namely House bergonjong or House Gadang whose roof resembles a buffalo horn equipped with carvings - carvings of walls and poles very cool and amazing .

" Wowwww Amazingzzing, so Beautiful," said Sinto's sister with great excitement while stretching her hands to welcome the sea breeze blowing breezy.

They all rushed to pack goods and after all was dropped off Sinto's father ordered a car that would take them to the old village called nagari taratak bungo which is said to be located nun deep in the interior of the Minang realm and almost untouched is the name of modern technology With the reason of wanting to keep the tradition of the ancestors and there the sinto adventure story will begin .
