Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 149 Tracing Goa
Batari Mahadevi and Nala were silent waiting for an answer from Zotha's grandfather. The first silent old face finally opened his voice, although not the answer to the question posed by Batari Mahadewi before.
“How far can you learn this secret book you brought?” said grandfather Zotha.
“We can turn our bodies into fire, as well as the basic things about the styles of fire, as written in the book from beginning to end.” Batari Mahadewi.
“If so, perhaps you can absorb the energy from the main source stored under this temple. Without the knowledge of the book, or the knowledge of the science of fire, you will not be able to absorb the energy, because the energy sourced from the main crystal of the island of fire is heat energy above the surface of the fire crater located in the ground, just below this temple. So, you certainly can not feel the radiance of the energy source from here.” Zotha.
“We will do it, grandpa. There is no other choice but to try it so that we can return to our world.” Nala.
“Then, I will deliver you. The faster the better because you take a long time to get to the main energy source, and it still takes a long time to absorb the energy, and adjust it to your body.” Grandpa Zotha said.
“Good grandpa.” Nala and Batari Mahadewi.
“Hopefully the silver men have not yet arrived in this city while you are still adding strength down there. You guys have heard about the silver man's attack right? They also target the energy source you are looking for. I can still withstand the attack of those silver humans along with the other Holy Fire temple guards, as well as the royal troops. But if they come in large numbers and with great strength, then I don't know if we can survive or not.” Grandpa Zotha said.
“We will help after we finish absorbing the energy we need, grandpa.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Yes, I believe you can help. But know, it took you a year or less to perfect your fire energy.” Grandpa Zotha said. Batari Mahadevi and Nala were very shocked. Both of them did not expect if the process needed would be that long.
“Do not wonder. Because, the energy container in your body is very large and you take a long time to complete all the stages that you have to go through. Therefore, you must know how. I will teach you later. Now, come follow me.” The old grandfather took Batari Mahadevi and Nala to go to a room.
The room was a room with a door that could only be opened through a spell. Zotha exerted energy as he cast a spell to open the steel door. Slowly, the big black door opened and behind it was a cave that led into the earth.
Zotha led Batari Mahadevi and Nala to a large room in the cave. Although it is in the ground and there is no sunlight, but the cave is a lot of storing fire crystals that emit a dim light, so that it is enough to make the eyes can see around the contents of the cave well.
Batari Mahadewi and Nala walked down the narrow cave, and it turned out that the passage led them both to an underground river. The river was clearly visible from the light emitted by the fire crystals on the walls of the cave. Supposedly, the room was very cold. But because the room was close to the crater of the fire, then what felt was the heat.
“Kakek Zotha said that we have to dive in this river, and find an underground path that will take us to the fire energy center below.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Come we do.” Nala.
“Do not rush. We don't know how deep this lake is and how long we're going to dive in it. Prepare your energy first. We won't breathe for long enough.” Batari Mahadevi warned.
“Yes, I know. Let's get ready.” Nala and Batari Mahadewi exert their energy. Both will move quickly in the water to quickly reach the other cave booth, and find a path that will deliver both to the crater of the fire, the main source of energy that supports the island of Fire is.
Nala and Batari Mahadevi threw themselves into the warm river. Both must move quickly down to find out the path of the cave that they do not know. The river was deeper than they had expected, but the further down, they still had no trouble seeing as the rocks within the river were still emitting light.
Batari Mahadevi and Nala had to work hard, because both of them also had to fight the river flow and find the cave path as fast as possible before the two could no longer hold their breath. Although both of them have a great ability to absorb natural energy, holding their breath for a long time is a different matter.
Not yet had they found the path of the cave, a group of fire fish inhabitants of the river began to be seen. The table-sized fish looked hungry, their light-emitting bodies slowly approaching Batari Mahadevi and Nala.
Of course it was beyond their expectations. It is not difficult to actually paralyze the fish, but the number of those tens will be a serious problem, because Nala and Batari Mahadewi still have to hold their breath.
Batari Mahadevi pulled Nala to swim away. Both of them were almost unable to hold their breath and plus the hungry fish began to chase. When both of them were really not strong anymore to survive in the water, both of them had arrived at a whirlpool that quickly sucked their bodies. The two young warriors were swirling around dragged in an underground water current.
Batari Mahadevi and Nala could do nothing but surrender to the flow of water. When the two had been desperate, they were suddenly thrown and fell into a lake within the ground. The vortex fell into the lake like an underground waterfall. With the rest of their strength, Batari Mahadewi and Nala swam to the edge of the lake, then lay helplessly and unknowingly that there were other underground animals that kissed the arrival of the two of them, and the beast slowly crept closer to the two bodies lying down and tried to recover that power.
