8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Mata Batu 1: Bukit Buruan

*Maut on the Throne of Baturaharja (Eye of Stone)*

Empress Lima Pesona presented a container of banana leaves containing hemispheres of sweet potatoes to Princess Wilasin. The yam is still smoky because it was just lifted from the fire and just peeled.

The Empress was a beautiful woman. Her beauty was not faded by the age that was already approaching the head of four. Somehow so early that he was named the Five Charms. That name then continued to stick until he married Prabu Arta Pandewa.

She and her twelve-year-old daughter are still alive. Her husband and Princess Wilasin's older brothers, as well as all members of the royal extended family, had been massacred by her men Menak Ujung.

For three weeks, the mother's son had been confined to Bukit Buruan. The hill is the hunting ground of the kings of the Baturaharja Kingdom. Now Bukit Buruan is locked by a magical fence made by the worship of Menak Ujung who is now the King of Baturaharja. The fencing made the Empress of Five Charms who hid in Bukit Buruan could not leave the hill.

“Mother, when can we go home?” ask Princess Wilasin who hasn't touched her food.

“We must wait for a good person to help us, Wilasin,” replied the Empress softly. “The bad guys are very dangerous.”

“Has our house been taken by Uncle Menak Ujung?” ask the beautiful Wilasin.

“Yes, so we can't go home, but we have to go. Already, eat the yam. It's always good, Wilasin.”

“Hihihi! Cute mom. Mom always said yams are delicious!” Wilasin.

The empress only laughed short hearing her daughter still able to laugh, a laugh that was unique in that it sounded shrill.

Guk guk guk…!

Suddenly a number of dogs barked in the distance.

Surprised the Empress and Princess heard the sound of the barking. Although it was still far away the source of his voice, but it was clearly a threat.

“Come, Wilasin! We must go away until the sound of the dogs is not heard!” the Empress said as she hurriedly pulled her daughter's right hand.

Wilasin's left hand still had time to wrap and carry the sweet potato that he had not eaten.

The two of them left a big hole under the tree. The fire in the stone furnace was left to continue burning small.

The sound of dog barking came from under the hill. Therefore, in order to avoid the sound of the dogs, the Empress had to climb to the top of the forested hill.

“Will those dogs catch us, Mother?” ask Wilasin in fear.

“No if we run fast!” replied the Empress whose subordinates only wore cloth. He had to tear the right and left sides of his cloth so that his steps could be wider, making his beautiful calves look bright.

The two continued to rush up the hill ground. Meanwhile, the barking of many dogs sounded louder, indicating that the distance of their position was getting closer to the position of the Empress and Princess.

“Come, Wilasin. We have to go to the river!”

The two walked down a path that one side was a ravine. It's a road that will take them to a river. The road made them slow down a bit, because they had to walk carefully.

While a little below, a group of soldiers carrying dogs managed to find a former place to burn yams.

A total of more than twenty soldiers each carrying two dogs, led by Salik Jejaka who nicknamed the Swordsman Eagle Mountain. He was a twenty-five year old young man. He was dressed in red and carrying a short stick that was half the size of normal.

“Despite some of his dogs, the smell is already smelled!” salik Jejaka's orders to his troops. Although he was young, but this person was cruel.

Guk guk guk…!

Some dogs then removed his neck from the bridle. So with wild dozens of dogs released was immediately running fast, as if they already knew the position of their potential victims. The sound of his barking was so loud and noisy.

The dogs ran up. The soldiers were forced to run fast to follow the dogs.

“Strong mother hug, Wilasin!” said the Empress who was getting more frightened because the sound of the chasing dog was getting closer behind, although it had not been seen yet.

Wilasin hugged his mother's body. The Empress then jumped into the river that was not too deep. The Empress swam across and then moved upstream. Wilasin with a soft crying voice continued to hug his mother in a sling. She was crying in fear.

Guk guk guk…!

The hunting dogs finally arrived at the riverbank. There the dogs were moving around sniffing for the smell they were following.

However, it seems that their route in pursuit of the smell of the Empress and her daughter disappeared in that river. Maybe because their hunt had changed the smell because it was submerged by river water.

“They must be downstream!” shouts Salik Jejaka.

So the dogs were again tied around their necks and directed downstream with the flow.

Since then, the hunters lost the Empress and her daughter. The mother's son hid in a dark cave that they found rather high up on a hilltop, not far from the spring.

The empress could be relieved because that day they could survive the hunting dogs. Until nightfall, the two continued to languish in the darkness of the cave.

Just in case, the Empress decided not to go out for two days, so she and her daughter had to endure hunger.

After that, he decided to go out and find something to eat.

For five days, the Empress and her daughter did not receive any hunting troops.

One morning, as it was near noon, suddenly the army of hunting dogs was heard again.

Guk guk guk…!

At that time Empress Five Charm and Princess Wilasin were bathing in the river. The empress hurriedly swam to the edge and put on her clothes.

“Mibuuu!” call Wilasin who was immediately struck with fear.

They quickly climbed onto land and ran towards the cave.

Salik Jejaka spread out his army to search for the presence of the Empress. Eventually they returned to the river.

Zess! Bross!

Salik Jejaka flashed a bullet-shaped green beam that shattered the trunk of a large tree. The tree fell and crossed the river.

The soldiers, who understood the intention of the leader, immediately directed their dogs past the trunk of the tree to cross.

After crossing, the dogs were scattered. Some are looking up, some are going down.

Guk guk guk…!

Until finally, a number of dogs that climbed to the upper area showed aggressive pacing, they seemed to sniff the target. The soldiers ran faster following the dogs.

“Mibuuu!” peekik Wilasin was frightened inside the cave while tightly hugging his mother.

The boy's mother heard the barking of the dogs getting closer to the mouth of the cave.

“Come, Wilasin! We have to go through the back!” bring the mother.

“There is a cave!”

Suddenly the Empress and Wilasin heard a screaming voice that sounded far from outside the cave. The screams caused the Queen and her daughter to panic.

“Aac! Ibuuu!” wilasin cried, even though his hand was being held by his mother.

Empress surprised. He quickly saw his daughter in the dark.

“My feet, Ibuuu!” jeremy Wilasin again.

“Quiet, Sweetheart. It's okay!” the Empress said when she saw Wilasin's left foot mired in the blemish of the cave stone she was treading. The foot went in until it was pinched on the ankle. The Empress tried to pull out her daughter's legs. “Hold a little yes, Son!”

“Akk!” screeched Wilasin as her mother pulled her leg. He was crying because his leg was scratched by a stone.

Guk guk guk…!

The sound of barking was already clearly at the mouth of the cave.

“Come, Wilasin! We've been overtaken!” the Empress panicked.

“Akk! I can't walk, Mother!” said Wilasin, his left ankle hurt when used to walk.

Without much thought, the Empress quickly carried her daughter on the back. He hurriedly walked towards the end of the passage already visible.

Meanwhile, the dogs had started running into the cave. Their prey smell is getting stronger.

“Aaa!” the Empress screams in surprise, just as she came out, two dogs had already appeared behind her.

Seeing the prey already visible, the two dogs sprint to directly pounce on the Empress and Wilasin.

Just as the two dogs leaped pouncing, the Empress shifted behind the wall of the cave mouth. As a result, the two dogs went straight into the stone abyss.

However, a number of other dogs had also entered the cave. Wilasin continued to cry in fear, especially after seeing the two dogs that fell into the abyss. The queen was getting more anxious. The Empress hurried down the small path that directly intersected with the ravine. The stone path was his route up to a wider place.

The empress really had to be careful, especially when she was holding her daughter.

Guk guk guk…!

Just when the Empress arrived at a slightly wide spot, a number of dogs appeared at the mouth of the cave and immediately turned in pursuit of the already ascending Empress.

Convinced that they could no longer escape the dogs' pursuit, the Empress quickly put her daughter down.

“Run fast, Wilasin! Lariii!” the Empress shouted as she picked up a branch and stood ready to head off the three dogs that ran up.

“Mother, Ibuuu! Huuu..!” wilasin screams and cries hysterically to see his mother ready to face the dogs.

“Run, Wilasiiin!” the Empress shouted hysterically, as a dog had arrived the earliest.

Gregrrs!

“Aaak!” empress screams as her right leg is bitten by the front dog.

“Mibuuu!” wilasin's screams were also confused as to what to do in his fear.

“Lariii..!” the Empress shouted while beating the dog's head with a twig.

Gregrrs!

However, another dog jumped in biting the Empress' hand which was holding the wood. Another dog came in who was nibbling on the left leg. The queen fell down. The three dogs were brutally biting. The Empress could only scream in pain.

“Mbuuu! Ibuuu! Huuu..!” wilasin shouted as he ran limping up the slightly uphill rock road. Above there is a field that is the area above the cave.

At the mouth of the cave, a number of dogs reappeared, this time with several soldiers.

Guk guk guk…!

Two dogs immediately ran up and joined the nibbling of the Empress' body which screamed nonstop. Two other dogs ran past the Empress and continued to ride after Wilasin.

“Aaa..!” willasin screams fear not play when the two dogs come to him.

The set!

Aikk!

Suddenly two small wooden sticks appeared darting from the top of the ravine and piercing the bodies of the two dogs who were eyeing Wilasin. The two dogs were snorting loudly with their bodies lying sprawled dying.

The soldiers at the mouth of the cave were shocked to see the appearance of an attack on the dog.

A dime!

Aikk! Aikk!

Subsequently, a number of small woods swerved and impaled all the dogs that bitten the Empress. Some of the dogs even fell into the abyss.

Now, the Empress is lying in a terrible condition. It was drenched in blood with a body full of terrible bite wounds. There was even a huge wound on his neck that made him die.

Guk guk guk…!

Dogs kept popping up in the mouth of the cave. Even more surprising, it turns out that there is a group of dogs also emerging from the upper street. They also found a way up. The more scared Wilasin.

The dog that had sprung up in the mouth of the cave ran around instantly finding back the Empress' body.

Suddenly a body flashed over the ravine and landed near Wilasin.

“Aaa..!” wilasin screams when he sees the face of the parents who came to him.

The white-haired old man had an ugly face that was as rough as old bark. He was wearing a gray robe. Both of the old man's hands also looked sinister like wooden hands only.

“Follow me, Son. Your mother can't be helped!” said the old man in a hoarse voice.

Hordes of dogs had been running from both directions about to ambush Wilasin and the creepy old man. However, the old man quickly brought Wilasin flashed and dove into the abyss.

“Aaa..!” the Wilasin Long.

Meanwhile, Salik Jejaka who was leading the hunt just arrived. He only had time to see Wilasin taken to the plunge.

Meanwhile, the Empress of the Five Charms had to be horribly killed by the wild teeth of the dogs. (BH)
