Night in the Prohibition Forest.
At that time they were all gathered in the usual cottage they were staying in.
"It's been a long time since I've been back here."
"You're right patari. I miss this place too. It feels like a forbidden forest like my own home."
"Over this time we grew up together, lived together, and did a lot of almost the same here. It felt like my heart was so weak when it remembered all that."
Patari, Bajra, and Darsana at that time really poured out how they felt at that time. Unlike Arya Susena who only listened to what the three friends had said. Because at that moment his mood was being enveloped by a very deep unease.
"Where are you going, arya?." Patari sees Arya Susena leaving them.
"I want to go out for a minute." After he gave such an answer he immediately left the cottage.
"It seems like he does have very special feelings for nismara. Because we know if he is a very indifferent person going around him. We all know how he really is."
"Perhaps because the first friend that the arya susena has is a nismara, so it's only natural that she's very anxious."
"Of course, we are all very worried about our friends. Especially after so long together, of course we will be very worried if something happens to our friends."
Patari, Bajra and Darsana were actually able to see how worried Arya Susena felt at that time. Because they were also very worried about Nismara's safety.
Meanwhile in place of the Black Crow Demon Nini.
The demon woman was trying to treat Nismara. The older sister demon woman who had to treat anyone who was seriously injured included being injured due to internal exertion. Slowly the black air that enveloped Nismara's body came out. A very evil black Eve that can gnaw a person's body to death.
"Thank God. With the help of the pure air pressure channeled by the arya susena, I was able to easily treat this child." In his heart was very relieved.
It was not long before he finished his treatment. Nini the demon Black Crow tried to regulate his pureness. Quite hardened his energy as well as what he had done back then.
"Just wait for time for you to wake up again." He smiled gently at the young woman who was now lying on the rock in an unconscious state. "You're very lucky to have people who patiently care for you." He gently elus the head of Nismara. "For now try to rest, I'm sure you're very tired after that fight." He smiled back.
In the subconscious of Nismara.
It was like he was looking at his father with the rest of his family. His father approached him with a friendly smile.
"Come my son. Don't you want to be with us?."
The deg!.
Nismara was very surprised when she saw those who had warmly welcomed her. "Am I dreaming?." At least that was what was on his mind at the time.
"Let's son. You've done the right job. You are my very strong and very strong son." That is the expression of a father who is very amazed at the power possessed by his son.
"Dad." Nismara hugged her father very strongly. The figure of a father he always wanted in his life, and now he has met his father?. He was very proud of what he felt at the time.
Meanwhile Arya Susena. Just then his eyes were fixed on the magical gate that led to the place where the Black Crow Demon Nini was. His heart would not have calmed down if he had not received the good news about Nismara. And coincidence at that time?.
"You calm down, young man. All the problems that happened to your lover I've dealt with very well."
"Nit?." Arya Susena looked very scared because she was surprised by the sudden voice. Moreover, the Nine Demon Black Crow sat right on it back then, more precisely on top of a tree.
"You don't have to worry. For the time being I have successfully treated his wound. I guarantee he'll be cured in two or three days."
Arya Susena has not responded, she rested her body on the tree. His eyes looked so happy then. So was his mood after listening to what the Dark Crow demon Nini said.
"Thank you for your help." Unknowingly her tears just flowed down her cheeks. There was a sense of relief that he felt at that time, because he could not imagine how he lost Nismara at that time.
...***...
Next day.
They returned to the palace to report what they had done. This is certainly amazing news for the palace.
"Our respect is Gusti Prabu."
"Sit my brother arya susena, nini Patari, kakang darsana, also kakang bajra."
"Thank you Gusti Prabu."
But at that time the welcome spoken by the Prabu Maharaja Kanigara Lakeswara sounded very foreign to them. Has he privileged them all because he helped him to take the throne?.
"It feels so strange to be called that." At least that was what was on their minds at the time.
"It looks like you're back. But, it feels like there's less." Yeah, his eyes don't see one more person.
"Nismara is currently on treatment due to a deep wound after we faced Senopati jenar tapa."
Surely the answer given by Arya Susena made them all shocked.
"So nini nismara got hurt?."
"True Gusti Prabu. But at least we can finish them all off. The cult of rebellion has been successfully stopped."
"I am very saddened by the news of nini nismara. I hope Nini Nismara gets well soon."
Yep. Of course they were very hopeful that Nismara would recover very quickly because they were very attentive to the female swordsman.
"Then, you rest. For some days we will plan the welfare of the people. I hope you are also involved in this task."
"Sandika Gusti Prabu."
In the report they all told what they had heard when they got information about how the rebellion carried out by Senopati Jenar Tapa.
...**...
The High Cliff forest.
A young man who was training his magic alone at the time. His heart at that moment was being filled with a deep hatred.
"My love is gone, has left me alone. The heartache I felt when I saw him killed in front of me by a very cruel swordsman. I will never forget the pain I felt at that moment." In every move he made at that moment, he recalled a very painful past. A past that will not be easily forgotten even though it has passed a few years ago.
"Arya Susena's. You've incised my defeat the pain I feel at this point. I won't forget it even if you ask me for forgiveness." In such a burning state he exerts all his inner energy. It was as if at that moment he was about to kill Arya Susena in his shadow. A burning grudge had been watching him to do something.
...***...
The residence of the Goddess Astagina.
Goddess Astagina gets a very special home from the palace family. It was a form of respect they gave to Arya Susena who has been instrumental in returning the throne of government to the rightful.
"Mother, restapati's brother."
Arya Susena did not stop her breathing so tired. "Now I understand why uncle sardala saguna is so in a row attacking me with such questions. It turns out that the inherited nature comes from the mother."
"Haha!." Arya Restapati was unable to hold her laughter back then.
"Is it like that?." Goddess Astagina misbehaved to listen to her son's words.
"If you want to ask one-on-one mother. Don't attack me with such in-depth questions. I can answer all of that later."
"Haha!. You are so much too much. How could you possibly die just by answering the mother's very successive questions."
"Didn't the feet feel it?. When I met with uncle sardala saguna, I met his mother. So many questions asked of me."
Arya Susena was at that moment a place of resignation when she recalled what she experienced when she met her uncle and mother.
"alright. Then your mother will ask you one-on-one my son." Goddess Astagina was only able to laugh a little. He did not expect his son to protest with such an attitude. But at least on that night they really enjoy how the situation and family conditions are very harmonious.
...***...
Far outside the palace.
A young man was curled up coldly, he was in the forest who had no idea what his name was.
"This eye may be blind, as a result of the evil swordsman's actions." His painful memories of his past will never be forgotten for that alone even though they have passed. "With these inner eyes, my goal now is to kill him. I'll finish him off with all the power I have."
In a night as pitch-black as his eyes that can no longer see perfectly, so also with his heart that has been darkened, and there was only one left in his heart that he would defend back then was vengeance. The grudge that so flared within his chest would never be forgotten.
Can't they forget the grudge that's in their hearts?. See how the story gets to the point.
...***...
At that time Patari and Darsana were sitting together in the palace pendopo. While Bajra was with other soldiers who were on guard in the palace environment.
"What do you think of the attitude shown by arya susena?. Do you think he loves nismara?."
"We both know and are sure. It's just that the attitude of the super-cold arya susena, makes us think that she really does not love nismara. And yet we have seen it clearly that such an action shows the opposite."
"Haha!. Sometimes we can do strange things without us noticing."
At that time they were discussing the issue of love, because they were tired of continuing to talk about things related to peace. Sometimes they also want to talk about the love problems that occur between them.
"How do you feel about me?. Don't you have any feelings for me?." I don't know where the courage he felt at that time, so he dared to say that?.
Patari was silent for a moment, because he actually had feelings for Darsana. It's just that all this time he did not dare to say anything, because from his rude attitude like that he was very doubtful whether Darsana had the same feelings or not towards him.
"Do we have to talk about it now?. It feels like your heart is pounding when you ask me that question."
The deg!.
Darsana can clearly capture how the gelagat shown by patari at the time. Darsana can smile with relief, because honestly all this time she was very afraid if her feelings would be rejected by Patari. On that night both people who have the same feeling are feeling the beauty of falling in love.
...***...
The Prohibition Forest.
The Nine Dark Crow demon at that moment was observing the changes that Nismara had experienced. He was very grateful because slowly the medicine he had put into Nismara's body began to work.
"This medicine will seep into your body. It will take a long time, but at least the medicine I have given you is really capable of recovering all that drained inner strength of yours." He rubbed the head of Nismara. "Your skin isn't as pale as it was before. And you look fresh too, even though you're still lying here. But at least you're completely safe." He sat beside Nismara, who was still lying on the big rock. "I can't imagine how crazy that young man would be if he lost you. I'm pretty sure he'll go crazy and kill anyone who tries to touch you, even if the person who killed you dies at his hands." Yes, the Black Crow's Nini demon can see how Arya Susena's real attitude is. "Although I fell for him, yet to me he was the only person who could touch me in a different way."
Back to the past.
Prohibition Forest.
Who is not familiar with the awesomeness of the Prohibited Forest?. Unless he did not want to know that the place had a very extraordinary mystical air. The Prohibition Forest that was filled with the extremely dangerous Black Crow. But then there was a death-defying young man coming into the forest.
"For what does this follow me?. I've noticed this just keep following me around the back." Arya Susena stopped her steps.
The deg!.
Of course the woman who had the wings of a crow was very surprised by what the young man had said.
"You can see I'm young?."
"Of course I can see you. Do you think that if I'm an ordinary human being I can't see you Nini?."
"Yes. No one can see me with ordinary eyes. Unless he has the ability to see the nature of the tribe."
"I'm a year old demon. But I didn't expect the Nini to have such a large army in this forbidden forest."
"What do you see young people?. Can you see my palace?."
"I'll be able to see a lot of these kids here. They were all guarding the entrance gate of this Prohibition Forest very well. Truly devoted children to their mothers." His eyes caught how many young crow figures perched on a tree not far from him stood at that moment.
"Ho?. You seem to have a very different view. Then what do you want with coming to this forest?."
"I just wanted to ask Nini for permission. I just want to stay in this forest with my friends. Because I think only this place is safe for us to stop by after we kill anyone who has committed a crime."
"Why are you so sure this forest is so safe for you to live with your friends?."
"Because we live with a very beautiful crow. A pretty crow that has incredible power."
Blush!.
For some reason all of a sudden the cheek of the Demon Black Crow blushed listening to what Arya Susena had said to him.
"You'd better not bomb a young man. Who do you think you're talking to?." As much as possible he covered what he had felt at that moment.
"I'm not flirting with this. Because what I'm saying is in accordance with the reality of what happened." Reply with a very friendly smile. "This is a clear proof of the raven demon that has a very extraordinary beauty, and has a science not a very qualified citizen. So that no man or great warrior can enter this forest and exit safely."
Arya Suseno's remark at that moment made the Black Crow's Demon Nini feel like melting. "You're very good at talking young people. Don't confuse this old me with your words that can bring me down later."
"I have absolutely no intention of taking down Nini. I came here to seek refuge from a beautiful woman like Nini. Am I allowed to live together in your territory?. Nini's very pretty and kind?."
The deg!.
His feelings at this moment were very palpitating, all this time he had never listened to such a conversation. Indeed, he admitted all this time he guarded the Prohibition forest with all his heart so that no one dared to enter the forest carelessly. "This damn kid has dared to tease me. Then what am I gonna do?." In his heart at that moment was very uneasy with what he was feeling.
Back to this moment.
That was the case in the past when Arya Suseno came to him to seek shelter for them. It was so easy to get it with just very sweet words. But he said at the time there was no harm in protecting the young man. Because they have a very extraordinary closeness than the previous one.
