Petperma 18: The Sword
*The Adventures of the First Empress (Petperma)*
Prabu Dira Pratakarsa Diwana opened his pair of eyes when he felt his face licking.
“Aah!” pekik Prabu Dira was surprised when he opened his eyes, because there was one big yellowish cat face was licking his face.
Prabu Dira suddenly pushed his body inched backwards away from the big cat who was the lioness.
“Hihihi!”
Suddenly there was a woman's voice laughing.
Prabu Dira quickly searched for the source of the laughter. So he saw a beautiful woman dressed in all white fluttering, playing on a swing under a tree. Her blond hair was so long that it touched and dragged on the grassy ground as she swung around.
The beautiful young lady laughed while looking at Prabu Dira. He must have laughed at the shock of the red-lipped young man.
It turned out that in the meadow there was not only one lioness, but there were many lionesses who looked like golden-brown bald tigers. Near the big tree where the woman was swinging alone were about eight lions, while the others were scattered in the cool meadow by the gusts of wind.
“Who is that beautiful woman?” inner Prabu Dira while looking at the foreign woman who kept laughing at him.
Suddenly the woman who was swinging was throwing something to Prabu Dira.
Taps!
Prabu Dira caught him with one hand. He stared at the object he caught, it turned out to be a red apple.
When Prabu Dira again threw his gaze to the woman, it turned out that all he saw was a stretch of cave stone walls. Surprised Prabu Dira by what happened. He quickly looked back at the hand that caught the apple. Turned empty. In his hand there was no fruit.
“What happened?” prabu Dira's. “Why do my dreams feel strange and not dream?”
The beautiful face of Empress Yuo Kai was still sleeping on her lap. Finally Prabu Dira ignored his dream earlier which he thought was just a dream. He smiled looking at the cleanliness of his wife's face. Although his wife is a powerful person, but there is a sense of compassion in his heart because his beautiful wife had to live bad days with him.
The cup!
Prabu Dira then lowered his face and kissed his wife's mouth. He wanted to bite all the beauty on his wife's face, but he realized that his wife was still human, not yet a closing food.
It turned out that the gentle biting kiss woke Empress Yuo Kai up. He rubbed his eyes. She saw the face of her husband as beautiful as a woman. He smiled broadly, for this was the first time he had been awakened with a kiss. It was like waking up from a beautiful dream to a beautiful taste. Perhaps these are great tips for starting conjugal harmony every morning.
Empress Yuo Kai quickly rubbed her eyes to look clean in front of her beloved husband.
“Is it morning?” empress Yuo Kai asked in a somewhat hoarse voice.
“Maybe,” replied Prabu Dira.
“Emm!” Empress Yuo Kai wriggled while tightly hugging her husband's body.
“Looks like your body language is asking for something,” kera Prabu Dira.
“The place is not comfortable,” Empress Yuo Kai said with a big smile. He then got up and said, “Time to finish the business.”
Some time later, just as the sun was rising in the east, they came out leaving the cave to descend.
Barbara and her friends are finally released from totokan. Barbara and six other yellow-haired men walked down the mountain. Two of the men lifted Albert's body which was not in good condition after a lot of blood loss. Both of his arms were wrapped in cloth and the pieces of his hands were left behind.
Behind them, within a certain distance walked Prabu Dira, Empress Yuo Kai and her four servants. Mai Cui looked in good health. He woke up when his master woke up.
However, not to mention they got down to the foot of the mountain, it turns out that the Stormeggland Village troupe has also climbed into the mountain. They met in the middle of the road.
“Dad! Help us!” barbara shouted as she flashed quickly and landed near a tall, yellow-haired man.
The man was none other than Ducken Pert, Barbara's father. He came with the hero of the Dragon, namely Kan Lwin and the champion of the Salt Clan, Abhoy Danu. Each of the heroes brought with them his group, bringing their number to twenty-five. San San Htay the daughter of the Village Chief also joined. He stood by Kan Lwin's side, making them like a matching couple.
“What happened?” asked Ducken Pert who could not hide his shocked face to see the condition of Barbara and the others. A couple of blond men were seen walking limping. Especially if you look at Albert's condition.
“Those strangers have unpacked what we did in the cave, Dad!” Barbara.
“The man has also taken the Sacred Lion Sword.”
“Appa?!” yell Ducken Pert louder. Her red skin face instantly turned increasingly red showing her anger. His left hand seemed to have firmly grasped the hilt of his sword, seemingly intending to pull it out right now.
Although Prabu Dira and Empress Yuo Kai did not understand Barbara's words, they could guess what the blonde girl reported to her father.
“Who are they, Barbara?!” asked Abhoy Danu yelled with round eyes impressed always glancing furiously.
“They are magical people who suddenly appeared on the mountain and attacked us in the cave!” answer Barbara.
“Are they the ones who created the commotion in the middle of the night?” tanya Kan Lwin who represents Village Chief Kodawgyi Arkar Dempo.
“True,” replied Barbara while staring intently at the group of Prabu Dira whose position is higher.
“Beat!” kan Lwin's orders to the whole.
So all the three men of the clan brought to climb to besiege Prabu Dira and his wife. Bo Fei and Chi Men immediately prepared.
“Kai’er, tell them that we do not want bloodshed,” Prabu Dira told Empress Yuo Kai.
The empress nodded, then exclaimed to the people of Stormeggland Village, “We don't want anyone we kill anymore. We just want to continue the journey!”
“But you guys have killed our people. You guys have to pay for it!” exclaim Kan Lwin with fluent Mandarin.
“Give the Sacred Lion Sword you guys picked up, only then will we let you go!” exclaim Ducken Pert, also uses fluent Mandarin.
Abhoy Danu was confused because he did not understand the language.
“My husband, the woman's father asked the Sacred Lion Sword as a condition of letting us go,” Empress Yuo Kai told Prabu Dira.
“Say, the sword is inside my body, I don't know how to get it out,” said Prabu Dira calmly.
“Holy Lion Sword is inside my husband's body. She doesn't know how to get it out, so she can't give it to you,” Empress Yuo Kai told Ducken Pert.
“If he can't get that sword out of his body, then I'll take it out!” ducken Pert shouted furiously as he pulled out his double-edged greatsword.
“Wait!” kan Lwin shouted quickly, stopping Ducken Pert's movements.
Ducken Pert looked intently at Kan Lwin, as did the Prabu Dira stronghold.
“What sword are you guys fighting about? What is the Sacred Lion Sword?” ask Kan Lwin.
“Who are you?” ask Empress Yuo Kai.
“I'm Kan Lwin, confidant of Village Chief Stormeggland!” kan Lwin Suhut.
“You don't know what the Sacred Lion Sword is? Then you also don't know about the dozens of young women who were killed for that sword offering?” empress Yuo Kai asked Kan Lwin.
That question left Kan Lwin and San San Htay shocked. Meanwhile, Ducken Pert was increasingly upset because the secret in the cave was revealed.
“No I will let you take that sword! Hiaaat!” shouted Ducken Pert before Empress Yuo Kai explained to Kan Lwin. He ran up and jumped flashing with a large sword that was flicked.
“Chi Men!” call Empress Yuo Kai.
Wess! Blet up!
So Chi Men immediately threw a black shawl from inside his gloating sleeve. The black shawl caught and wrapped around Ducken Pert's great sword. That forced Ducken Pert to land early with a slight stagger. He quickly put up strong horses for the attraction scene with a Chi Men scarf.
“Abhoy, take your man check out the cave above!” kan Lwin command with local language.
“Good!” sahut Abhoy Danu's.
The black and fat man immediately ran up leaving the location. A number of his followers soon followed. (BH)
