Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 297 of the Earth-Based Art Sanggar
Sanggar founded by Ki Rangga Suluk turned out to be quite large and spacious. There is not only a training ground, but also a place to hold a show that is usually attended by the kingdom. In fact, king Mahatmabhumi was also present there. Therefore, donations from the kingdom flowed profusely every year. Of course in addition to preserving the sanggar, also to bind Ki Rangga Suluk indirectly.
In the crucial times, of course, it is the warriors who are the focus of government hope. As at this time, the kingdom had sniffed the movements of the black warriors who were about to act. Four government officials were assigned to ask Ki Rangga Suluk for help and the meeting was held in the shop, the same day Nala and Batari Mahadewi were eating there.

When a pair of warriors came in a sanggar called the Laras Bumi art studio, they saw children to adults who were studying together. Most of them are studying music and dance.
The two students of Ki Rangga Suluk took Batari mahadevi and Nala to the rear building which is the only area used to practice martial arts and also became the residence of Ki Rangga Suluk. There were not many martial disciples raised by Ki rangga Suluk and all of them were adults.
Some of the disciples of Ki Rangga Suluk who were there felt a little shocked when capturing the aura of Nala's black power. But when the two Golden Flute warrior senior disciples escorted the two of them, then their suspicions subsided, even though there was still something stuck in their minds.
As soon as Batari Mahadevi and Nala are welcome into the living room of the teacher's residence, then know them all that Batari Mahadevi and Nala did come as guests of the teacher. They continue their activities.
“If later we have finished with Ki Rangga Suluk, there is actually still one more place that I want to visit, namely the holy altar of the Gate of Heaven. I was curious about the figure of Lokatara's grandfather, a friend of Agrapana's grandfather,” said Batari Mahadevi. There were only the two of them in the room after Ki Rangga Suluk's disciple took care of the hangar.
“If you want to visit there it doesn't matter, but do you know where it is?” ask Nala.
“I don't know yet. Later we just ask Ki Rangga Suluk,” said Batari Mahadewi.
When it was late at night and some of the sanggar students had come home, Ki Rangga Suluk had just arrived. At night, the hangar was only inhabited by some of the master's students, as well as some artists who had no place to live and eventually chose to hitch a ride there. Ki Rangga Suluk is generous to make some buildings in his sanggar as the residence of artists in Mahatmabhumi. They can stay for free. Instead, they never refused if Ki Rangga told them to help make an art event.
“I'm sorry I've made you two wait too long. The government was very surprised by the actions of the black warriors in the store, so I was asked to help Mahapatih to prepare for government security,”, said Ki Rangga Suluk.
“It's okay uncle. Doesn't uncle want to rest for a moment?” batari Mahadewi.
“Oh, no problem. I'm used to receiving guests on the sidelines of this kind of activity. And of course, there must be something that makes you want to come here and meet me, right? Oh yeah, sorry, I forgot your name.” Ki Rangga Suluk chuckled. He could not remember the names of the two young warriors because of his busy life.
“My name is Nala, and this is my colleague, Batari Mahadewi,” said Nala re-introduced herself.
“Before..Batari Mahadevi..was the lady a female swordsman who had reportedly expelled the Tirayamani warriors? It was unexpected, we finally met here,” said Ki Rangga Suluk. He believes the mysterious girl is the new legend, because never in his lifetime had he seen someone treat poison as easily as picking cassava leaves.
“Two of these heirlooms are very special. But, to be honest, I am not a swordsman who mastered swordsmanship. Shouldn't you two just give it to the swordsmen so that this weapon can be used better?” ki Rangga Suluk.
“We had expected uncle would not match this heirloom machete. Just like Nyi Lohita. Yesterday we made an heirloom scarf instead. So, we still plan to make the right heirloom for uncle,” said Batari Mahadewi.
“But why should you bother like this?” ask Ki Rangga Suluk.
“The kingdom of Tirayamani will not only deploy black warriors, uncles, but the ancient demon army. Without proper heirloom weapons, it would be almost impossible to fight them all. If uncle allows, we will make a flute heirloom like the one uncle used earlier in front of the store,” said Nala.
“Yes, young master is absolutely right. My serulingku also cannot conquer a warrior Tirayamani. Hmm, I'm sorry young master, didn't mean to offend you. But, why would young master want to help us white-flow warriors?” ask Ki Rangga Suluk. He could not hide his curiosity, moreover he had witnessed for himself the power of Nala which could easily make a Tirayamani swordsman turn into flesh and bone flour.
“I just happened to be born of black power. What can I do, I can only accept this body and power, uncle. But the purpose of my life is to help create a better life,” Nala replied.
“I understand. I'm sorry, young master. Black warriors like you are rare. So, people like me are always amazed and curious. However, in my old age, I was more involved with art than with warriors. Only if the situation is urgent will I get involved. By the way, who has made these two heirlooms?” ask Ki Rangga Suluk,
“This plug is Nala's creation. While this heirloom shirt is made by me, uncle,” said Batari Mahadevi.
“On my heirloom weapon, the golden flute must be made with the power of white flow. Because, the resulting power will only work to suppress the power of black. This golden flute heirloom is much older than me. This heirloom comes from the past, a gift from the Lokatara teacher. Have you ever heard of the teacher Lokatara?” ask Ki Rangga Suluk.
“Yes, we heard the story from the teacher Agrapana,” replied Batari Mahadewi.
“Already expected, you also must know the teacher of Agrapana. So, can you guys create this kind of heirloom flute?” Ki Rangga Suluk took out his gold flute to be seen by the two guests.
“Maybe I can make it, uncle. Only, I need to learn first about the intricacies of the heritage, as well as how it works,” said Batari Mahadewi.
Ki Rangga Suluk then began to explain everything related to his deadly weapon. Batari Mahadevi and Nala listened carefully. As it neared midnight, Batari Mahadewi caught the movement of several black warriors moving through the night, heading to the Laras Bumi center. It seems that they are very bloodthirsty and intend to slaughter all the people in the hangar belonging to Ki Rangga Suluk.
“Uncle, sorry to interrupt. Looks like we're about to have a dangerous guest. Shouldn't we be prepared,” said Batari Mahadewi warned.
“If so, let's welcome their arrival, as well as I want to test this heirloom shirt of your gift,” said Ki Rangga Suluk with a smile. His passion was overflowing considering that he had not fought for a long time to the extreme as he had lived in his youth.
