The sun opens the day. Kahar's heart was open to begin their adventure today, the coordinate point was already in sight. Clara fights off her habit, waking up before the chicken pecks its sustenance. The air this morning was really refreshing. Far away from Jakarta that Kahar suctioned.

Beautiful village in the east of Banyuasin Regency, Bailangu. The coordinates of Kahar's father point to this village before it must be continued by boat along the banks of the Musi river. This morning, Kahar and Clara are ready to begin their adventure.

“I have arranged it, one will soon come to pick us up,” explained Clara while enjoying her breakfast. Kahar hesitated a little, the doubt kept coming from the moment he met Clara again at the terminal yesterday.

“I've also honed my katana. Already as sharp as razor blades, even more.” Clara had finished her bread, while Kahar had only touched her twice.

“-3.4539332, 103.2249098,” Kahar's stirring all breakfast, that's all that comes out of Kahar's mouth. He repeated the number many times. Until his mouth was full of numbers.

Clara got up from her seat when she realized something might be troubling her special friend's mind. From inside her room, Clara took out a katana. Clara played it. Splitting the sky with one word. His eyes looked seriously at Kahar.

“You may be able to transform into such a formidable extraordinary being, but I am not here as weak as you think, should I repeat again?” ask Clara while saving her katana.

“Not that, I know you're strong, you're just afraid of ghosts. I'm just worried that you're right if it's just a random arrangement of numbers doesn't mean.”

Clara rubbed her jaw, recalling what she said a few months ago when they first discovered the coordinate point. Clara discovers that kahar today was attacked doubtfully. Doubts that made Clara feel upset. How not, Kahar as if bewitched by all the curses to continue the journey.

“You have doubts? You should have left doubt in Jakarta, let him be torn apart.” Clara's voice was so loud, like a Caleg talking about beautiful dreams if she was chosen.

“Im sorry my stability.” Kahar's voice was no less loud challenging the morning. Doubt is still carried over to Andalas. However, who is “igah” who is able to stop Clara's confident steps to convince Kahar.

The sun slightly peeked from the spectacles of the clouds, timidly shining the bodies of Kahar and Clara who had been ready on the banks of the Musi River. From here, the journey continues with a small boat guided by a local. The necklace Kahar had used, the poem had been carved into his head if anything bad happened, and Clara was ready to slash any danger. Not expecting, a Clara rifle took out. With the katana, it was the weapon he prepared.

“Wait, where did you get that gun? I've never seen it.”

“We may be faced with danger, then we must be stronger, even though in front of us is a ghost, this time I will shoot out his entrails.”

Kahar had to say it. From a distance, one man came by his boat. A man that Clara rents from far away from an acquaintance.

“You guys ready?” asked the man approaching who was about forty years old and was eventually known to be named Taufik.

“We are ready from the word ready created God.”

Mr. Taufik was ready with a small brown wooden boat and a paddle. The safety of the boat is doubtful, but this is the only vehicle to reach the coordinate point. There are no barriers or buoys, for Kahar this is not a problem. This morning the water was quite calm, the boat controlled by Mr. Taufik slowly traversed the Musi River.

“This time you rented the right boat ‘kan? Not a pirate anymore,” whispered Kahar. Clara smiled for dozens of times hearing Kahar's question.

The boat slowly against the river flow, gurgling water leaping over Kahar's cheeks. Reminds the two men of Piyambak far away. Musi River is peaceful not without crocodiles said Mr. Taufik. The place that Kahar and Clara tried to reach was the nest of Antu Banyu according to local belief.

“You really want to go there?” ask Mr. Taufik.

“Iya, for the sake of the final task.” The final task has always been Kahar's reason for diverting people's curious questions.

“I won't deliver until the point that, Non Clara, give. As agreed, I will deliver up to 3 Km. The last time I drove a researcher nineteen years ago, he never came back and the worst part, I didn't get paid.”

“That's enough,” reply Clara.

“Wait a minute, not until?” Kahar asked in surprise.

“I told you already, if the place you're going is Antu Banyu's lair. I will pray for safety for you both.” Mr. Taufik kept paddling his oars. Not long after walking, the three of them arrived at the last stop. Musi river pillow that looks real, without human houses visible. On the banks of this river will travel Kahar and Clara continue to penetrate the long grass. Mr. Taufik promised to pick up Kahar and Clara before sunset, if they did not return when dark came, Mr. Taufik would prepare his funeral.

“From here we will head Northwest seventy-five degrees. After that, the mystery of these coordinates will probably be solved.” Kahar took Clara's katana. And threw it at Clara.

“Prepare always you.”

The forest along the Musi river flow is very thick, no trace of humans has crossed. Although, not too far from civilization, as if this place is isolated from the outside world. The sounds of birds and muddy tropical forest lands make their journey even more strenuous.

The terrain is really challenging, three kilometers traveled for three more hours. Clara's feet almost fell when she accidentally stepped on the edge of a slippery river.

“Gosh, you saw it, Bang?” Clara asked with her mouth open a sign of disbelief, a cave drained by a river hidden behind shady trees like a treasure that asked to be explored further.

“This cave, the coordinate point is inside!” exclaim Kahar with his excitement.

Clara pulls as deep as her lungs can breathe. Slowly he threw it back out, he was now ready to go in with a flashlight and a katana hanging from his back. Kahar suddenly pulled Clara said from her scabbard.

“Focus just shoot, I'll use this sword,” said Kahar.

“Iya, whatever.”

The smell of the cave is very fishy, more fishy than the fish market that Kahar used to visit every weekend. The tributaries that enter the cave are quite deep, one meter high water. Kahar and Clara entered and walked on the edge of the cave that was still being trampled. I don't know how deep this cave is, all they do is keep going deeper. The sound of bats welcoming them while at a depth of one kilometer, bat droppings have also filled their shoe-cloths.

“Where is the point, Bang?” ask Clara.

“I don't know, our GPS lost signal.” They are now wrapped in darkness only the flashlight that illuminates them. The more they entered, the less they met. This cave is getting rotten, the fish carcass is falling apart from the entrance.

Their steps were more and more carefully traversed, the darkness slightly vanished as they turned right at the intersection. A slight light slipped between the ceiling of the cave. The condition of the tributary is now clearly visible, the water is murky. Their steps were still tinged with high vigilance. They continued forward in the direction the light came. Darkness slowly left behind.

Thirty minutes they enter, the GPS signal remains lost. Two lines appeared, but did not last long. The wind that came from behind Kahar's shock, his instincts said there was something behind them. Something that hides behind the dark.

“You kissed him?” ask Clara. Clara also felt the strangeness. This smell is stronger than before. The unpleasant aroma that smelled came with the wind from behind.

“Very stinging,” Kahar said. He continued, “Clara, how many bullets can your weapon release before it runs out of bullets?”

“twenty-five, I also brought five magazines.

“Shoot!” kahar's orders.

“Shoot what? Where?” Clara aimed at the darkness, Kahar standing in front of her. With the blink of an eye, Kahar transformed his first time in the land of Andalas. Clara fired five shots at the stench. His voice echoed within the cave.

Breaking ears. Kahar kept a watchful look towards the darkness, with his ecolocation, Kahar focused on reflecting the sound, but blocked the sound of gunfire. The echolocation is chaotic, but Kahar can immediately fix it. His eyes were closed in focus, he opened his eyes in surprise as Antu Banyu jumped out of the stream. The murky water makes the creature can camouflage well.

Clara screamed hysterically shooting the half-human creature and the fish with the remaining bullets. She die. Kahar who almost got hit by Antu Banyu attack can dodge well. Antu Banyu's head was spitting out a fresh blue-colored blood that smelled foul.

“Fill back your bed.”

Clara immediately grabbed the magazine that she had stored in the bag, very expertly it seemed Clara was refilling her weapon that she had just learned two months ago.

“What creature is this?”

“Antu Banyu I think, they are not as tough as said.” Kahar kicked around the monster's head, ascertaining whether he was really dead or not.

“I will use echolocation to be our navigation, I will reflect sound to every corner even to underground and underwater if possible, it could have exhausted my energy because it would have done it in the water. I didn't want to do this at first because my ecology wasn't perfect, but the damn GPS. Protect me.”

Kahar plunged directly into the water and dived to reflect the sound in the water. He appeared again shortly afterwards to reflect the sound on the surface.

Clara put up her watchful eye as long as Kahar focused. Now the stench came again, no, it was not just the stench, the smell of sulfur that made Clara almost unconscious. But he can hold it. Sure enough, three Antu Banyu came. They swim quickly to Kahar.

The barrage of shots from Clara dropped one Antu Banyu, but it wasn't accurate enough to annihilate the three of them. Two Antu Banyu managed to reach Kahar's body. They then pulled Kahar into the water. Clara couldn't believe what she saw, shooting once again she blasted towards the creek. Desperate, Clara still shoots water.

From his decision, a lump of Antu Banyu flew flying from within the river, his jaw that was overgrown with crushed fish scales was hit by a. It was Kahar who finished scanning the cave. He was back in power because he was pulled into the water.

“Big mistakes, jerk.” Kahar stood in the water as high as his stomach. Antu Banyu came quickly, immediately a crushing blow pierced through the breast of the understand. Antu Banyu shouted in pain, a cry that Clara and Kadar could not understand. Immediately the disgusting creature died, came a still tremor from the darkness.

“Sial! Clara immediately ran into the light then turned right at the first intersection, there was an underground bunker.” Kahar prepares to fight again. He knew the enemy was coming more and was in a state of rage.

“No will! I'll help you,” reject Clara while still holding the gun.

Antu Banyu came from the stream, the cave floor, and the ceiling of the cave. The creature looked angry. It sounds like a whale***** that lost its flock. Clara immediately shot Antu Banyu when he was within shooting range. One bullet for one life. Kahar couldn't just stay in the water and wait, he swam quickly and immediately grabbed Antu Banyu's entourage. He fights brutally, one punch Kahar enough to break the body of the fish creature. Suddenly, another Antu Banyu jumped into the water attacking Kahar. It's a great opportunity for Clara to keep throwing shots at those who swarm in. Kahar gallantly also struck and split the creature into two halves.

“They are so many.” Kahar still kept hitting the endless-looking Antu Banyu.

“Kahar, peluruku out.” Kahar put the bedil. And take the katana lying around carelessly.

“Do not advance!”

Kahar pulled an Antu Banyu who was about to rise to the surface and break his mouth. Antu Banyu's body has covered the river. Kahar can't wait anymore. He focused his energy on the hand that had been covered in blue blood. He shouted and from his hands came out a stream of electricity that was creeping rapidly in the water.

Electric bluish color for bright light end of darkness, it turns out many more Antu Banyu lined up. Excellent electrical power. Antu Banyu has been felt dead all over.

“Tadi, amazing, Bang. Come on up, we have to find the bunker as you say.” Kahar's armor fell out, even though he was in the water. It seemed that the electrical attack had consumed all of his power. Fortunately there was still energy left for Kahar to come out of the water.

“We're getting closer,” says Weak Kahar
