Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 302 of the Sacred Crystal Ball
Meanwhile, Batari Mahadevi and Nala finally set foot in the city of Heaven Gate. The shape of the city is not much different from the city of Dhyana. Only, it was on the top of the mountain.
“Like a stranger, don't you?” batari Mahadewi.
“Yes. And you want to go to the holy altar, right? It's sad if Lokatara's grandfather told us to meditate like we have to do in Dhyana,” said Nala.
“Hahaha, don't you like semedi?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“Not so, it's just that we don't have much time, Dance!” Nala rubbed her lover's head. He knows that if the girl has a desire, it must be fulfilled.
“Entah why, Nala, but I feel I have to meet with Lokatara's grandfather,” said Batari Mahadevi. If so, no more bargaining.
The two stepped down the streets of the desolate ancient city. You could say, the number of humans there is less than those in the city of Dhyana.
In the courtyard of the holy altar, Batari Mahadevi and Nala saw many hermits sitting cross-legged facing the altar. Their bodies are greenish-gray. Like a stone statue overgrown with moss. A truly layman would suppose that they were a group of stone statues sitting in rows forming a mandala with a sacred altar at its center.
“Do you think we just go in and sit cross-legged like that hermit, or are we standing here waiting for someone to come?” ask Nala.
“No one will come and let us in, Nala. Let's go there, sitting cross-legged at the very front,” Batari Mahadewi stepped into the courtyard first, Nala followed him.
They sit cross-legged in a quiet, silent manner, close their eyes, and sharpen their other senses. After they enter the world of semedics, Lokatara appears. The grandfather took Nala and Batari Mahadevi in the same world, not alone as in the holy altar of Dhyana city.
“Welcome to the Gates of Heaven. I can't believe today I have two special guests,” said Lokatara.
Batari mahadevi and Nala were still stunned. The two of them did not expect to be in the same dimension together with Lokatara whose face was a bit similar to Agrapana.
“Hahaha, don't be surprised. I am not Agrapana and I have another way of welcoming my guests. Agrapana has told me a lot about the two of you and it turns out that today is my chance to meet you,” Lokatara continued.
“We just want to stop by for a while, grandpa. Just to get to know grandfather, we are in this region,” said Batari Mahadewi.
“If miss Tari asks where the ocean altar is, then I really do not know,” suddenly Lokatara conveyed things that even Batari Mahadewi had not said. Indeed and indeed, in such a world, Lokatara or Agrapana is the ruler, who can even read the minds of anyone who is there. “But ladies don't be disappointed first, first lady never saw the future events through the holy pool. Today I will take the lady to see something from the sacred crystal ball. Follow me.” That all-white world suddenly turned into a space within the holy altar.
Batari Mahadevi and Nala followed the grandfather to a place. There is a large clear ball, displayed in the middle of the room.
“If you two are lucky, you can see something through that ball. But maybe what you see is different, maybe you see nothing. I don't know, but there's no harm in trying.” Lokatara invited them both.
Batari Mahadevi and Nala said nothing. Both are too awkward. Grandfather Lokatara even met them in this way. It seemed, the grandfather's real body was indeed not there, out of nowhere. And the two of them had only met the living shadow of the holy altar guard's grandfather.
Nala saw nothing in the crystal ball. In fact, he was very curious. He imagined being able to see something like the one he saw in the demon pond in the red snake stealth palace.
Meanwhile, Batari Mahadevi was stunned for a long time to look at the ball. The look on his face changed. He saw an island with black soil and a large stone palace with a tower soaring up into the sky.
Then the crystal ball showed nothing more. Batari Mahadevi knew, what he had just seen was the island of Tirayamani and the figure of the queen of darkness.
“You managed to see something?” ask Nala.
Batari Mahadevi nodded. “Did you see something too?”
“No,” replied Nala, “what did you see?”
“Kingdom Tirayamani. I think I know where it is. We can find him, Nala. I guess, the ball wanted to tell me that I had to go there,” replied Batari Mahadewi.
“The ball is the same as the holy pool, Miss Tari. The shadow that you see is a picture of the future. So, at the moment something has not happened the same with the picture in that ball,” Lokatara said.
“Does that mean I have to get there, grandpa?” ask Batari Mahadevi. He worries.
“Now, I don't know. To be sure, what the ball brings up at once is the restlessness of your heart. Miss is very curious about the kingdom and the lady's curiosity exceeds anything at this time. So, that's what came up. Now the lady has had a picture of the whereabouts and situation there. Next, it is up to the lady to act how,” Lokatara said.
“Follow your heart, Dance. I will always accompany you,” said Nala.
“Alright, Nala. we will finish our business in Mahabhumi, then we will go directly to Tirayamani. I don't think we need to waste any more time going to the other islands. If we can both annihilate the kingdom, then we have also saved other islands from the threat of the power of that kingdom,” Batari said.
“Yes, it should be. So, it's time for you guys to come back,” Lokatara said. His body disappeared along with the world in that mediation. Batari Mahadevi and Nala returned again in the court of the holy altar. There's no Lokatara there.
“So, just like this?” ask Nala.
“Hahaha, how else. Moreover, Lokatara's grandfather had already displayed the contents inside the holy altar. So we don't have to see him there anymore. I don't think that grandfather's body is here. From the beginning I expected it,” said Batari Mahadewi.
“I still don't understand. But yes, let's go home to Cemara Seribu,” invite Nala.
“Yes, go home to us, Nala,” said Batari Mahadewi, “Kelak if this mess is all done, do you mind we stay there?”
“Tell you, as long as you're by my side,” said Nala.
"Before leaving, I would like to say that.that the face of the queen Ogha whom I saw in the crystal ball.similar to my face," said Batari Mahadewi.
"Hm... Believe me, Dance, I can tell the difference between the real you or someone else disguised as you." Nala's words sounded so soothing in her lover's mind.
Both of them shot through the sky. The two never knew whether their story would end happily or otherwise. To be sure, the real chaos has not happened yet.
