Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 2 of Magical Girls
Seven years later, after the giants took control of the kingdom, Batari Mahadewi has grown into a beautiful, healthy, strong and intelligent daughter. He also has human qualities as he was raised by man.
Batari Mahadevi is not an ordinary man, because he is actually a divine heir. At the age of just one year, Batari Mahadewi was able to run. Not only that, he was also good at speech and easily memorized what was taught by Nyi Turmeric, the neighbors of Nyi Turmeric, and the people of Cemara Seribu village .
People in the village of Cemara Seribu live well and peacefully. It has become a tradition that all citizens should go hand in hand and help each other.
The village is actually a small village and very far from the city center and has only a few residents who all depend on farming and hunting in the forest or looking for fish in the river.
Although it is a small village, but the village is led by a very powerful elder, Ki Gading Putih his name. He used to be a swordsman who had been wandering in the martial world. He never loses when he has to face other warriors who challenge him. At the age of 100, he finally resigned from the martial world, and isolated himself in a forest of a thousand cypresses.
It was from there that the village of Cemara Seribu appeared. At first the villagers who lived there were a group of refugees who got lost in the forest, then met with Ki Gading Putih, and decided to stay there. They are first generation citizens.
While the villagers who currently live in the village of Cemara Seribu are third generation citizens with a much larger number than the first generation.
Ki Gading Putih is the only person alive since the first generation. He is 300 years old and there is no sign that he will die. He still looks like a 70-year-old grandfather.
Ki Gading Putih can live that long because he was diligent in asceticism and did not live like other villagers. Nevertheless, ki Gading Putih has always been a helper and the only one who can always solve the problems in the village. He was also a teacher to the younger generation in the village.
Of course, the presence of Batari Mahadevi in the middle of peaceful village life did not escape the attention of Ki Gading Putih. Since the beginning of the news spread that Nyi Turmeric found a baby girl in his yard, Ki Gading Putih who came to visit has seen unusual signs in Batari Mahadewi.
“This baby boy will grow up to be an amazing girl.” Ki Gading Putih said to Nyi Turmeric and some people who happened to be there. “If he is 10 years old, I will make him a student, he will get the same rights as all the boys who studied with me.”
Indeed, in that life, only boys have the right to study. Meanwhile, girls can only study at home, help with cooking, clean the house, and work in the fields. Only special girls who get an education equivalent to men, for example is the daughter of the king or city officials.
Of course, the words of Ki Gading Putih about Batari Mahadewi astonished Nyi Turmeric and the villagers. But over time, Batari Mahadewi did grow in an unusual way, and eventually people understood the reason Ki Gading Putih would raise him as a disciple.
One day, when Batari Mahadevi was 2 years old, Nyi Turmeric took her to the forest to look for firewood.
“Come on, we leave immediately.”Batari Mahadewi calls Nyi Turmeric who has become her mother with enthusiasm because that day is the first time she will be invited to go to the forest. Previously, he was only entrusted to his neighbors to play with Rangga Gede, the son of Nyi Santan who was the same age as Batari Mahadewi.
“Wait mom, Dance.” His mother said with a smile. There was a real worry that was seared in Nyi Turmeric's mind considering the Thousand Spruce forest was very spacious, haunted, and many wild animals.
Nyi Turmeric never sought firewood into the forest because he was afraid. Especially now Batari Mahadewi wants to come with him after so many days he always whines to come there out of curiosity.
What makes Nyi Turmeric very worried is the behavior of Batari Mahadewi that is difficult to control. She was not a submissive little girl, but always moved to and fro at will. Nyi Turmeric worried that Batari Mahadevi ran into the forest.
It is true what Nyi Turmeric alleged. Concerns manifested. Just arrived at the edge of the forest, Batari Mahadewi began
be thwarted. At first he saw a beautiful butterfly. Then he chased her into the forest.
Of course Nyi Turmeric was very panicked. He ran after Batari Mahadevi. It is not easy to catch up with Batari Mahadewi, because even though he is only 2 years old, his physical and mental abilities are equivalent to 5-year-olds.
“Dance, back son. Do not be far from the mother.” Nyi Turmeric shouted while running after Batari Mahadewi who was a little far in front of him.
AUUUMMM.Suddenly Nyi's heart Turmeric like loose when he heard the roar of a very loud tiger. At the same time, Batari Mahadewi stopped running and stood staring, looking at the figure of a huge tiger that appeared before him.
His heart was pounding, his breathing was starting to get irregular. He was so afraid to see the tiger at the age of just 2 years that he could not move, even to call his mother.
Meanwhile, Nyi Turmeric immediately ran towards Batari Mahadewi. Her maternal instinct dispelled her fear of the tiger. He shouted loudly to drive away the tiger, but the king of the forest did not budge. Just stop for a moment, staring intently at Nyi Turmeric, then start walking towards Batari Mahadewi slowly.
“HIYAAAA...” once again Nyi Turmeric shouted to distract the tiger. He pulled out a twig as he ran and threw it at the tiger.
Now that the tiger was getting angry, he roared loudly. Much louder than his first roar. Nyi Turmeric who lived a few steps away from Batari Mahadewi immediately tripped because it was very shocked to hear the roar.
At the same time, Batari Mahadewi has regained his courage, he ran towards his mother while shouting, “IBUUUUUU..”.
The tiger looked triumphant. He knew, the prospective prey in front of him was already helpless and very frightened. The tiger walked back slowly and prepared to pounce. This time he did not target Batari Mahadevi, but Nyi Turmeric.
Nyi Turmeric's body trembled in fear. He held Batari Mahadevi tightly, resigned because he no longer knew what to do. That tiger that was so close was too frightening for him.
The tiger jumped and at the same time, Batari Mahadewi shouted loudly. His body was emitting a golden light. That intense fear elicited a subconscious reaction in his body and an enormous energy boost just slipped out, flowing with the sound of his screams.
Suddenly the tiger as big as a calf was bounced away and did not move anymore. The atmosphere of the forest that was previously filled with the sounds of birds and insects suddenly quieted down.
Batari Mahadevi was still trembling, as well as Nyi Turmeric who grew astonished by the miracle he had just seen.
“You all right, son?” ask Nyi Turmeric. Batari Mahadewi began to calm down a little, his breathing began to be regular. The golden light surrounding his body slowly faded away, then disappeared.
“I'm fine mom, but I don't understand what happened to me.” Answer Batari Mahadevi. “What do I do, mom?”
“Mother also does not understand son. But let no one know about this. Don't tell anyone, you understand?” Nyi Turmeric.
“Iya mother, I understand.” Answer Batari Mahadevi.
“Come now we go home. From now on, you must follow the advice of mother.” Nyi Turmeric.
“Iya mother, forgive me..” Reply Batari Mahadewi.
The golden light that emanated from Batari Mahadewi's body when the tiger pounced was the aura of a divine heirloom. All the powers of the gods are fully sealed in 12 parts which one by one will escape in time, when the body of Batari Mahadevi is ready to receive and control his energy.
This first seal is the weakest basic energy as well as the initial energy that will continue to develop along with the journey of Batari Mahadewi.
This ability is very useful for Batari Mahadevi. Of course, his needs today are not the needs of adults. After all, he was a child full of curiosity. With this ability, Batari Mahadevi has an unusual way to absorb knowledge.
The gods sealed all that power when the heirloom of the god was transformed into a human. In addition to the baby will not be able to control the enormous energy, the energy seal at once also serves to disguise the existence of the god's heirloom.
With the opening of the first seal, the ability of reason, language, and physical abilities of Batari Mahadewi increased dramatically. Batari Mahadevi realized that something had changed for her. He did not know what it was, but he felt that the world he was facing today was much brighter and clearer so he could tell that every object on earth was emitting a certain energy.
At first this was very uncomfortable Batari Mahadewi. On his way home from the forest with his mother, he saw the aura of energy that enveloped everything he saw; rocks, trees, grasses, animals, people, hills, mountains, rivers, people, people, and even the thin dust that is blown by the wind.
