Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 7 Padepokan Cemara Thousand
Today Batari Mahadewi will go to study at the cottage Ki Gading Putih. Early in the morning Nyi Turmeric had prepared breakfast and prepared everything needed by Batari Mahadevi as long as he would take lessons at Padepokan Cemara Seribu.
After finishing breakfast, the two of them then prepared to leave. There is a sadness that drifted in the mind of Nyi Turmeric because after the departure of Batari Mahadevi, then he will live alone again in his small hut.
“Mother will take you there my son. It's still early, so we don't have to rush to walk there.” Nyi Turmeric.
“Good mother.” Batari Mahadewi. Then they walked towards Padepokan Cemara Thousand. Along the way, they both met and greeted the people of Cemara Seribu village who left for their fields.
The news of Batari Mahadevi's ability to heal Rangga has spread widely and it made everyone who met Batari Mahadewi this morning look at him with amazement and pride, especially because Batari Mahadewi was appointed a disciple by Ki Gading Putih, not because of his own wishes but by the wishes of Ki Gading Putih.
The two of them finally arrived at the courtyard of the Thousand Spruces. This is the first time Batari Mahadewi visited the temple after previously only knowing from the stories of people around him.
Ki Gading Putih came out of his cottage, then welcomed and invited Nyi Turmeric and Batari Mahadevi into the pendopo.
“Welcome to padepokan. I did not expect early in the morning Nyi Turmeric and nak Batari had arrived here.” Ki Gading Putih said opening the conversation. So, this is how the situation of this simple Thousand Spruce Padepokan. Hopefully later Batari will be at home learning here.” Ki Gading Putih went straight to the subject.
“I will study well teacher. Kindly guide.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Today you will look around and get acquainted with this place first. Tomorrow we'll start your first lesson. As long as you're here, you'll occupy that cottage over there.” Said Ki Gading Putih while pointing at a small cottage located at the end of a row of student lodges Padepokan Cemara Seribu.
“Good Teacher.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Starting today you will stay here son. Take good care of yourself, do not disappoint your mother and teacher.”Nyi Kunyi said as she shed tears.
“Yes mom, I definitely won't disappoint mom. I'll definitely look at mom.” Batari said Mahadevi hugged her mother before they separated.
The distance of the Thousand Spruce Padepokan is not far from the house of Nyi Turmeric. But when Batari Mahadevi will study there, of course he will not be able to often meet Batari Mahadevi, or maybe never again because that is the way of the swordsman.
Studying in the field must be mentally ready, must be ready to leave everything that has ever been had before, and start a new life.
Nyi Turmeric. Batari Mahadevi and Ki Gading Putih delivered him to the door of the padepokan. The old forger looked strong even though he was very lonely.
“Well Batari Mahadevi, put your belongings in your cottage first, then I will ask your senior brother to introduce this place.” Ki Gading Putih.
“Good teacher.” Reply Batari Mahadevi.
Batari Mahadewi rushed to his cottage. The room had been prepared for her, a simple room with a wooden bed, table, chair, and a closet to store clothes.
Batari Mahadevi put her things in a closet. There was nothing precious that he had brought except his clothes. Since childhood he has been accustomed to living simply, so that the room also feels special to him.
“Excuse me..” a female voice knocks on the door of Batari Mahadewi's room.
“Iya..” replied Batari Mahadewi who immediately rushed to open the door. He saw a beautiful woman who was about 17 years old with a handsome young man who was slightly older than the woman smiling at him.
“Include, I'm Niken Sekar Purnama, the 5th student and this is my senior.” Niken introduced himself.
“I Batari Mahadewi. My mother called me by the name of Dance. It's great to be able to meet a college sister. “ Reply Batari Mahadewi.
“If you are ready, let's get around this place.” Bring Niken to be friendly.
All students of Padepokan Cemara Seribu will take the oath as brothers and will take care of each other for a lifetime.
Niken was the only female student of Ki Gading Putih before Batari Mahadewi was appointed as the 6th disciple. He is the grandson of Pendekar Rajawali, a master swordsman from the south.
Swordsman Rajawali is known for his skill to lighten the body so high that he can float in the air
like a bird. He also has a golden eagle claw, one of the most dangerous moves in the martial world.
Pendekar rajawali is an old friend of Ki Gading Putih. He died at the age of 200. Father and mother Niken is also a magic swordsman couple. They cut off Niken when he was just 10 years old, then the swordsman continued his mission to fight with the enemy of his college, the black flow group, the Flower of Death.
Niken's father and mother die in a fight against the leader of the Death Flower group, the Queen of Death, a famous black swordsman who has the style of Death Breath. Niken's parents died because of this move.
Of course the news of his parents' death makes Niken very sad. Later when the time comes, he will go to demand revenge for the death of his parents.
Unlike Niken, Jalu Pamungkas is not a swordsman's son. He was the son of the Swargadwipa kingdom leader who sheltered the village of Cemara Seribu. Jalu is a strong boy. His interest in martial arts had been apparent since childhood. The royal martial master, Senopati Jalak Kuning, felt that it was better for Jalu to learn to a much more powerful swordsman than himself, namely Ki Gading Putih.
So Jalu was sent to Padepokan Cemara Seribu at the age of 9 years. Every few years he comes home to meet his mother and father. With the background of the noble family of the country, later Jalu is expected to become the royal mahapatih Swargadwipa after he finished studying at Padepokan fir Seribu.
Niken, Jalu, and Batari Mahadewi walk down the small path to the Sacred Heart waterfall, the most sacred place in the Thousand Spruce Padepokan. The name of the waterfall was given by ki Gading Putih because behind the waterfall there is a long cave that is used for meditation, and is used by students to perfect their knowledge.
Batari Mahadevi could feel a very strong energy radiance from the waterfall. He was also able to see a vague form in the cave, which is a number of characters that store various martial knowledge. Of course Niken and Jalu did not know the existence of the script because ordinary humans would not be able to except those who have god energy.
All the time he went around, he just listened to stories and explanations from Niken and Jalu about the places they visited
Actually Ki Gading Putih never taught certain knowledge of his own to his students. He taught more basic things such as cultivating energy in, absorbing earth energy, and science to relieve the body.
The rest, Ki Gading Putih more encourage his students to find their own moves. Thus, the White ivory students do not have the same martial arts. Each has its own character and potential. That was why only certain disciples could survive to learn in the way that the White Ivory Ki used.
Ki Gading Putih does not prohibit if his students teach each other the knowledge they get, because that way they can enrich their knowledge, and can create and strengthen their own ultimate style.
Niken is known as a student who mastered the science of Ice Tread. The science comes from his inner power which has the character of ice and thick water element. Niken can not only turn water into ice, it can also create a cold air that turns the air into sharp ice grains that are ready to wield their opponents.
Meanwhile, Jalu is opposite to Niken. He was a strong disciple with the fire element. It had a Fire Body style that could easily turn air into fire, then hurl it towards its opponents so that it was as if it was actually emitting fire from its body.
The science of students in White Ivory is a class of magic swordsmen. They can master those sciences at a young age. Of course, because Ki Gading Putih never lowered the character of his knowledge to his students, but encouraged them to bring out the potential of the basic character of the body of his students.
Of course, such exercises are very hard exercises that are even difficult to live by magic warriors though. Each student gets different treatment, according to their potential.
