The Fire Dragon Sword
Sabrang and Wardhana
Samudranta is the largest landmass
it is located at the eastern end of Nuswantoro. The martial world dubbed the place as a mysterious land because in addition to its location which is very difficult to reach, some warriors who managed to get closer and survived claimed to see there was a strange energy to protect.
The red energy that is said to protect the land seems to reject anyone who tries to get close.
Not many warriors could survive after approaching the place, other than because the sea was famous for being so fierce, their ships would usually be destroyed by the pressure of the red aura and the passengers disappeared mysteriously.
No one knows where the red aura comes from and to protect what is certain but with all the mysteries and strangeness that surrounds it, the land of Samudranta is the most beautiful place in Nuswantoro.
Almost all of this land is in the form of mountains and tropical forests that usually hold a lot of mystery, and right in the middle of the land there is a strange lake whose water is green.
Not far from the lake, there were four warriors wearing all-black clothes and head coverings were seen sitting cross-legged around the strange lake.
One of the warriors suddenly opened his eyes as a young man moved towards him at high speed and stopped right in front of him.
"Mr Ardhani, do you feel it too?" said the young man was brick while adjusting his breath.
"You mean the Devil Flame energy? it seems like the time has come" replied Ardhani slowly.
"So the prophecy about the appearance of the fire Devil which was the first sign of great bloodshed in Nuswantoro is right?" reply the young man.
"Atlantis won't stop at all to take control of Latimojong's greatest treasure and I'm sure they will use the Fire Devil to achieve his ambitions. I will meet the chairman to discuss this matter, it seems like it is time we return to Jawata," replied Ardhani slowly before rising from his seat.
"Pull the protective seal of the lake, I have to talk to the chairman now" Ardhani said as he stepped to the edge of the lake.
The three warriors instantly withdrew their energy after hearing Ardhani's command. Before long, the green water suddenly moved before shrinking and disappearing as if sucked by something from the bowels of the earth.
"I'll be right back, don't let anyone come near when the holy door of Kontilola opens" Ardhani said before jumping into the dried-up lake.
"Okay sir" they said at the same time.
A dimensional hole suddenly formed on the wall of the lake and sucked Ardhani's body quickly.
Like using the dimension of space and time, Ardhani's body moved and appeared in the ancient ruins in the middle of the magnificent city.
"Welcome Mr. Ardhani" said one of the warriors guarding the ruins of the building.
"Let me meet the chairman, there are important things that I want to convey" replied Ardhani slowly.
"Sorry sir, the chairman is practicing kanuragan science, we're afraid..."
"It's about the appearance of the fire demon, I've already sensed its energy," Ardhani cut quickly.
"Devil fire? are you sure?" the guard's swordsman's face changed instantly.
"We feel it very clearly up there, is there anything more important than the prophecy about the destruction of Nuswantoro?"
The swordsman hesitated for a moment before nodding his head.
"Please do not spread this news to the people of Lemuria, I fear there will be chaos in this place. Follow me, the chief is on the hill of mercy" said the swordsman before darting away.
"Hulking pity? don't don't..."
"Actually, the chief had already gotten a premonition about the appearance of the fire demon through a dream and he decided to stay alone on the hill of mercy to ask for guidance to Madam Purwati before making a decision," the swordsman replied quietly.
"so yeah... So the fire demon really betrayed us and lord Sanjaya?" reply Ardhani slowly.
"That's how the leader received the hint, from the beginning we should not just believe in the spirit created from the evil energy of Satam stone."
"Atlantis really did not know in profit, Mr. Sanjaya already received them with open arms, even taught the science of kanuragan our ancestral Latimojong heritage, but they attacked us and kidnapped the young master Jaya Setra," ardhani said.
"We have arrived" said the warrior, pointing at a small hill surrounded by a large river, looking like a man meditating on a rock at the top of a hill.
After speaking to the warriors guarding the hill, Ardhani went straight up the hill and knelt before the man.
"Hamba please face the chairman" said Ardhani slowly.
The man opened his eyes slowly and smiled at Ardhani.
"Did something happen up there?" said the gentleman.
"Sorry chairman, I want to report about the appearance of the fire demon, it seems like the prophecy is near," replied Ardani politely.
"I know, a few days ago my mother came to see me and warned me that Atlantis had risen with the Devil of Fire. They still have not given up on mastering the greatest treasure of Latimojong" said Layang Yuda, shaking his head slowly.
"Then what are we going to do, chief?" ask Ardhani to come back.
"I don't want to rush this decision just because the Fire Devil has appeared, there's a lot to make sure of first because we've been locked away in this place for a long time. I want you to bring some warriors to Jawata and investigate about this matter, after everything is clear, we just move," said Layang Yuda slowly.
"Didn't your mother give the chairman a message? what else is there to be sure of?" ask Ardhani quickly.
"Okay sir, I will go to Jawata" replied Ardhani.
Kite Yuda took a deep breath before closing his eyes again as Ardhani was gone.
"Mother, is it true that you betrayed your father and the Lemurians? if it's true why did mom come back and warn me about the rise of the Atlanteans? What exactly happened when I went and where is my sister?" he said in his heart.

"Grandfather Panca? it is impossible, what uncle has gone mad accusing grandfather like that," Sabrang's face suddenly changed when Wardhana explained about Ken Panca's strangeness and the possibility that it was not him.
"Hamba apologizes Your Majesty, but.." Wardhana's not done talking, Sabrang has cut it back.
"Grandfather lost his left arm for helping us fight Lakeswara and uncle is suspicious of him? Who else will be suspected tomorrow? Goddess, Dance or My Mother? the voice of Sabrang suddenly rose.
Wardhana fell silent while bowing her head, she did not dare to even look at Sabrang's face.
"Your Majesty, please be patient and let Uncle Wardhana finish his words," said Mentari slowly, he tried to calm Sabrang.
"Quite Dance! I always listened to all his plans, even after a few times he made a mistake but this time it has been so outrageous. How can you accuse my ancestors of being traitors? If what uncle said about the spirit that possessed grandfather shouldn't the Fire Dragon be able to feel it?" answer Sabrang quickly.
"Dragon Fire, did you feel anything strange about Grandpa Panca?" sabrang asked in his mind.
The Fire Dragon shook his head softly, "I didn't feel any strange energy while being around him, he was Ken Panca, the one who created the heirloom that is now in your hands," replied the Fire Dragon.
"Hamba knows this is hard to accept but after meeting with..."
"Enough uncle! I don't want to hear uncle talk anymore, focus on the task as Patih and let me be with Hibata who takes care of this matter" Sabrang replied as he walked away.
"Hey son, where is your respect for the person who helped Malwageni so far? you are indeed a king but should not treat people at will because he just wants to explain something that he thinks is strange. Can you guarantee what happens when Ken Panca disappears?" Wulan began to ignite her emotions when she saw Sabrang's behavior.
Sabrang continued to walk away regardless of Wulan's cry, emotions seemed to have taken over his mind.
"Your highness." said Wardhana lirih.
"The boy is really outrageous, I will teach him a lesson in order to treat older people well" said Wulan while trying to pursue Sabrang but Wardhana held him back.
"That's enough, Wulan! don't make things worse, maybe my way of saying it is wrong. I just saw Your Majesty is very angry," said Wardhana slowly.
"You delivered? you haven't even explained anything yet" Wulan replied in annoyance.
"Uncle, please do not take heart, I will try to talk to Your Majesty when the emotions have subsided. A lot of things happened to him yesterday and that seemed to put him under pressure" Mentari said before running after Sabrang.
"Thank you, mistress...."
"Do you still want to help her after what she did?"
"Quite Wulan.. I'm not going to discuss this issue, if you ask me to leave then forget because my life is only for Malwageni," Wardhana replied quickly.
"You..do as you please!" wulan replied as she walked away.
Wardhana just kept silent while staring at the departure of the woman he loved, he really did not know to talk let alone.
"Your Excellency Arya Dwipa..what should I do?" he said in his heart.
"My son is so outrageous after all the sacrifices you've made for him. Go, your job is done Wardhana, let Sabrang take care of the rest."
Wardhana gasped in surprise when she recognized the owner of the voice, she immediately turned to the surroundings to look for the origin of the sound.
"Her majesty Arya Dwipa? how do you.." said Wardhana when he saw a white smoke that slowly formed the body of a man.
"You've gone too far in Wardhana, you've even forgotten your duties as a coach. Forget all the problems of the martial world and return to the palace, I brought you to Malwageni not to become a swordsman" said the white figure.
"But Your Majesty, isn't one of the duties of a coach to protect and ensure the safety of his king?"
"Are you not speaking wrong? Sabrang is not a warrior who needs protection, you should be aware of your abilities. Do you remember what I said before? do not force what is not your duty because every human being has their own role in this world and the martial world is not for you" replied Arya Dwipa slowly.
"Don't force what's not a servant's duty huh? maybe you are right, Your Highness has been too imposing," answered Wardhana softly while continuing to bow his head.
Unwittingly by Wardhana, a dimensional passageway formed right above his head and a black aura slowly rushed out before entering his body.
"Do you understand now? go back to the palace, I'll take you, "The dimensional hole that was above Wardhana's head suddenly grew and sucked his body.
"Your Majesty," Wardhana's body disappeared instantly, only her sword of pride was left in the room.
"All the preparations are done, without Wardhana beside him the boy will not be able to fight me," Ken Panca who was in a cave laughed with satisfaction while pulling his illusion.
