Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 157 Towards the Island of Ice
Talks with Zotha have been concluded, there is nothing important to talk about other than the past stories of Batari Mahadevi and Nala before both were in the three-month world.
Batari Mahadevi pondered in his room. Secretly the girl who had grown into a teenage figure was grieving. Whatever and from whatever its origin, it still has the thoughts and feelings of a human being, and a woman, who would of course be sad if her physical form changes.
At first glance his little fangs were invisible, yet he could feel with his tongue if his fangs turned a little longer. The two little horns growing on his elbows also made him more and more convinced that he was not a human being.
O.how cruel the gods are
It created me that way
Without ever asking for it…
If he can choose, then Batari Mahadevi just hope he became a human being, without the devotion and without feeling responsible for creating a better world life. Although, ordinary people would certainly hope otherwise, wanting to become the number one human in every way.
Batari Mahadevi took off all her clothes to make sure anything changed to her. He was still relieved that the opening of the seventh seal in his body did not cause too many physical changes that he had never expected. He felt really bad even though he didn't really know how other people judged him. He was not aware, that the body shape he had actually made the envy of other women who saw it, and made the men always curious, not least Nala.
When the night was late, finally Batari Mahadewi closed his eyes. For almost a year in the cave, he and Nala never felt the name of sleep. Both of them also ate nothing, except getting the energy intake and all the minerals from the crystal of the Fire Island's main energy source. Both grow like people who eat with the right nutrients.
Unlike Batari Mahadevi, Nala could not close her eyes. He forgets how to sleep, rather, he wants to forget a need called sleep, because in his sleep, he is more often disturbed by creatures sealed in him, he said, who tried to take away his body and consciousness.
Nala just sat cross-legged in his room, recollecting all the processes he took with Batari Mahadevi. Although his body shape does not change when he is in normal condition, but in combat, he is much more visible as a monster when compared to Batari Mahadewi. In fact, even the change in form would be feared by all black stream warriors who had half demon bodies.
How not, Nala can even change into whatever she wants. Not only that, he could split himself into pieces or fuse with the ground and create himself as much as he wanted. Suppose he created a hundred of his twins, it is not an illusion. Nala did not have as many moves as Batari Mahadevi with his legendary moves, but the change in form and strength was the one he always relied on to destroy his opponents. Fighting at such a close distance was his forte.
Two days after Varak made a mess, finally the center of the island of Fire was neat as ever. Nala and Batari Mahadewi fulfilled the invitation of the king of the island of Fire to come to the palace. There's nothing interesting there. As usual, the atmosphere inside the palace was always rigid and formal. The king who did not know Batari Mahadevi and Nala was trying to seduce the two to want to stay there forever with a high position.
Of course, any position, any kind of honor will not be able to change the desire of Nala and Batari Mahadevi to return to the world one moon, a house they always long for, he said, both of them don't really have a home. After fulfilling the formal invitation, and subtly refusing the king's offer, Batari Mahadevi and Nala once again visited Zotha to say goodbye.
“Dance Lady, it should be with your current strength, and with your ability to switch places in one blink of an eye, you and Nala can arrive at the Island of Ice quickly. You should even be able to get out of the cave with just one blink of an eye. Hasn't Rapapu taught you all these skills?” ask Zotha.
Batari Mahadevi confirmed Zotha's speech. It's just that time, he was unsure and too tense with the strength in him and the changes he experienced so he and Nala had to bother to get out of the cave through the lahar path of the volcano. Nala glanced at Batari Mahadewi with an annoyed look, the girl only chuckled at the reaction of her companion after hearing Zotha's words.
“I'm not used to moving a very long distance, grandpa. But I'll try. But to get to the island of Ice, I don't know how yet. I do not know the radiance of energy from the island.” said Batari Mahadewi.
“You haven't been able to feel the island's energy radiance from here?” ask Zotha. Batari Mahadevi tried to concentrate his mind and capture the radiance of energy from distant places that he could reach.
After enough conversation. Batari Mahadevi and Nala left the island of Fire. Both of them flew south at high speed to find the location of the Island of Ice. According to the map given by Rapapu's teacher, the island of Ice and the island of Fire are adrift by a very long distance, which is not only separated by the ocean, but also several other large islands.
After two days of air travel, Batari Mahadewi and Nala landed on an island from above only visible wilderness, without any sign of a high cultural civilization.
“We rest first on this island.” Batari Mahadewi.
“It seems not far from here there is a waterfall. I can hear his voice.” Nala.
“I'm going there.” Batari Mahadewi. The two then rushed to a waterfall not far from where they landed. The waterfall is not too big and not too high, but it becomes a place that feels special other than there feels cool and peaceful. The multicolored birds flew, jumped from one tree branch to another, and sang in an uninterruptedly beautiful voice.
One thing that makes Nala and Batari Mahadevi always amazed by the world of three months, namely that each island has a different type of inhabitants, both human, plant, and, and the animals on every island.
“A very pleasant place.” Nala.
“Yes, I like it. And I feel hungry.” Batari mahadewi.
“You shouldn't need any more food.” Nala.
“As I said, I don't need food, but I like food.” Batari Mahadevi.
“You told me to look for food?” nala.
“If you don't mind, hahaha, I'll ask you to go some distance anyway. I want to shower in this waterfall.” Batari Mahadewi. “So, while you're looking for something to eat, I'll take a shower here. Don't come here before I finish.”
“Just relax, I'm not the one who likes to peek.” Nala. His face turned red, then he darted away leaving Batari Mahadevi. What he said was different from what he thought. For Nala, the change in the physical shape of Batari Mahadewi actually makes the girl look very attractive.
After Nala was not seen, and the radiance of energy had gone away, Batari Mahadevi took off all her clothes, and then she took a bath under the waterfall. He dived long enough to relieve the fatigue in his mind, and felt the coldness of the water clutching his body.
After Nala got many strange fruits from within the forest, she returned to the waterfall. He thought that Batari Mahadewi should have finished bathing and was waiting for him to come. But when he arrived at the waterfall, he did not find the girl. He only saw Batari's clothes on the rock.
“Tariiii..” Nala calling. There is no reason, but Nala felt a thin radiance of energy from the Batari Mahadewi micik from the water even though the girl's body was invisible because of the depth of the riverbed. ‘Don't-don't, Tari is stuck with something at the bottom of this river.’ Inner Nala.
Without thinking long, Nala who was a little anxious was plunged into the water, diving to the bottom of the river to find Batari Mahadewi. The man saw the girl he was looking for swimming like a fish in the water. Nala's heart beat fast to see Batari Mahadewi's body that was not wrapped in a piece of cloth. And Nala became even more panicked when Batari Mahadewi looked at her face.
