Swordsman Without Friends
Reason. (bag1)

The heir of the five sorcerers sucked the black flow from the Thousand Poison Valley slowly sighed then turned around. His two eyes swept over everyone who was there. in the darkness of the night his cold and dagger-sharp gaze but without any image of any feeling made the souls of the remaining members of the 'Wind Horse' horde seem to be sucked from his body.

This pair of eyes looks no different from the eyes of a dead person.In addition to being empty, it also creeps anyone's heart.unconsciously everyone recedes while bowing their head. in his heart they were equally restless and confused.when fighting life-and-death under the death threat of Cagak Randu, his teacher and the two assassins of the 'Black Kalong Union' they feel no fear at all.

But funny now, just by looking at the eyes of the strange young man who was unknown and had saved their lives, they all experienced a creepy feeling that did not end. was it because of his shocking appearance or was it because of his way of killing his extremely merciless opponent.?

They were all unable to answer him. In his heart the same deeply also asked, 'Who is this cold-faced pale young man.where did he come from. if in recall earlier, the 'Black Face Beggar' seemed to recognize who this person was then he became very frightened.what exactly had happened between the two people.?''

If all his followers are wondering who the young man is, it is not the case with Nyi Jaran Mirah. although she had not been able to rise and still had to meditate to recover, but this grandmother besides being able to hear also had time to see how the beginning of the death of the Black Face Beggar.

From all the talk of the two and also the characteristics of the young man in dark clothes, Nyi Jaran Mirah can guess who this person is. Even so the grandmother prefers to be quiet and pretend not to recognize him. in fact, he hopes all his subordinates also act like him, because sometimes people who do not know anything his life is much safer.

But intentions and expectations are sometimes different from what happens when the crippled young man turns his body around and is about to pass, either have the courage from which a sweet girl named Surti Cenil even ran against the young man even directly rebuked. ''Wait a minute. I want to ask you. actually you happened to pass through where we fought souls or even have long been hiding here.?''

''If it turns out that you have been in this place since, then you should be able to help us early so that none of my friends become victims. what kind of swordsman do you actually have so much heart to allow the cruel murder that goes before your eyes and only intervenes at the last moment.!'' snapped Surti Cenil furious as if he had forgotten that the young man who helped his life was also a teacher and a member of the Wind Horse.

Pranacitra was a bit stunned as well because he felt unexpected. Usually, so far no one dared to severely reprimand in front of him. let alone the person had gotten help from him. because for the cripple this incident is ridiculous in his heart.

Now the two young people face each other just three steps apart until they can see each other's faces more clearly. ''Aaish., his male-like style does resemble Rinai. when viewed from age and body shape may be almost the same age as Srianah.'' Pranacitra's inner. when he saw the shoulders and folds under his white arm he unconsciously laughed.

Instead Surti Cenil seemed to have just lost his tribe. his fierce attitude vanished out of nowhere. His reddish little lips opened. Both eyes stared unblinkingly. ''Waaahh., when viewed up close like this, the face of this young man is handsome as well well well., although thin and somewhat pale like a person who is suffering from a disease but he is very attractive to the heart..''

''Heii young girl, until when did you gawk so. do you still feel curious or after seeing how handsome I am, you become sorry for yelling at me.?'' pranacitra's words immediately spread the daydream of Surti Cenil until his sweet face became red with shame.

Seeing the state of the girl Pranacitra laughed. Surti Cenil is getting more and more sewot. ''Kaa., you., you brash young man. A shameless bastard like you is definitely not a good human being.!'' shouted Surti Cenil nervously.he still wanted to make a curse but the young man was already hunted cut him with a cold and loud speech.

''Listen to the young girl who just saw the outside world.wasn't you just asked me if I've been in this place for a long time and why only at the last moment would you step in to save your lives. Huhm., although to me this stupid question is a bit late but I will still answer.

''If I had been here in the first place why.if I had chosen to appear when you almost lost your life, then what do you want. This forest is not yours, but yours, you all have nothing to do with me either. Know me, friend or brother is not.!''

A reason that may be less than reasonable but also undeniable, because helping must be based on the sincerity of one's heart and not the compulsion of how much value a favor receives, whether sincere or there are certain strings attached, it all comes back to each person.

The girl still wanted to argue but the limp was already talking. ''Also, if I have to help someone, I will not be willing to help those who are cowardly, easily desperate and run away from responsibility. although I do not know who you are all but I heard that you were once former royal soldiers who were in charge of guarding the border..''

''In short, you become fugitives for being considered negligent in the task, when it is only the wits of your superiors who are in the government. he is afraid that his rotten deeds that often take away your rights and wages during this time will be revealed.so that's the reason why you are forced to run away from everything including family..''

''Haa., ha., a very stupid excuse.!'' pranacitra Hujat. ''Do you think that by running away that person will release all of you. are you sure that you can continue to survive in the last one., the last one., have you all thought about how the fate of the family as well as the relatives you left out there.?''

''Precisely in my opinion, they may suffer more than you, because everyone will insult, hurt and even excommunicate them all because they are considered as a family of fugitive criminals, he said, when in fact they do not know any of the problems..''

''While you here can only think of how to survive, there your family actually gets humiliation and maybe even torture.The old one could be lost, life, while children are definitely losing their future.there is no place to take shelter nor do they know who to complain to.!''

''Now I ask you. have you ever thought about everything I said just now.?'' Pranacitra stopped a moment of his words. At a glance he saw everyone like just lost the passion of life also regret something.there are even some people who have started crying. instead of sympathizing or comforting, there are even some people who have started to cry, instead, the lame man spoke louder.

''Do you know why the boss or the rancid official in the palace hunted you down.? that's because they know you have evidence to fear that the foul act will be exposed. If they are afraid then why you run away, why not try to fight. by becoming a fugitive of the kingdom like this will actually make the good name of all of you worse and in the end you all must also be able to mengampus in curiosity.!''

Without giving anyone a chance to interrupt, Pranacitra kept talking. ''In the government there are indeed many cunning and cunning officials but rest assured there are still honest, firm and fair in acting. In short, there are only two options. continue to survive as a fugitive until finally must die sooner or later by carrying a foul name and curiosity or try to fight by exposing evidence that you are innocent..''

''Although it is very possible to arrive at the palace later you will be sentenced to death but there is still little chance to stay alive and clear your family's good name. if all this time you are not afraid to bet your life to be a fugitive of the kingdom, then why even worry if you only face a few rancid officials.?''

The cripple's sharp innuendo was as if the tip of a sword was piercing the recesses of their hearts. The former border region guard soldiers were similarly thinking, ''Why is this simple reason never crossed their minds.?'' the undue fear seemed to have made their brains become very goosebumps.

Almost simultaneously they were yelling with respect and thanking the young man for his help and guidance, regardless of everyone's views, Pranacitra actually walked up to Surti Cenil who was nervous and careless at the young man as if he was a dish ready to eat.
