The Ancestral Country
Mentari at the top of the mountain
Smoke of dust flew on the road outside Kotaraja, as 3 people dressed in noble clothes and ten soldiers pounding their horses darted out of the capital Kahuripan..
They were the envoys of Sang Prabu Airlangga to meet Mpu Barada on the slopes of Mount Penanggungan.. The Mapatih Narotama himself led the envoy.
"Gusti Patih, how long will we reach Siwatantra Penanggungan if we continue riding like this?" asked Mpu Tandi, the head of the soldier who escorted the group
"According to Kakang Layang, we can get there in 7 days if we can ride continuously like this, but I'm not sure because our horse also needs to rest, right?? mapatih Narotama replied, "after all I am also old, my body is not as strong as it used to be, so we also cannot get to Siwatantra quickly"
The sturdy-bodied man continued to pound his horse darting south towards Siwatantra Penanggungan..

"I must take the throne anyway, no one deserves to represent Yunda Sanggramawijaya in place of Ayahanda Prabu Airlangga besides me, Samara Wijaya was a weak boy mother, she never felt the bitterness of the battle against the rebels, she never felt the bitterness of the battle against the rebels, so where does he deserve to be king in this Kahuripan? " said Mapanji Garasakan at the Consort's Castle owned by his mother..
"Mother does not support nor does she agree with your wishes Prince Ngger, because you also have the right to the throne of the kingdom of Kahuripan, but I ask you not to make a fuss that triggers a war with Samara Wijaya, he said, I want you to get along well as fellow sons of Gusti Prabu Airlangga" replied Dewi Rengganis, mother of Mapanji Garasakan.. The woman who is Prabu Airlangga's favorite concubine looked shady looking at the face of the son alone puppet..
"Mother must help me to persuade Father Prabu Airlangga to appoint me as crown prince, because mother knows only I am worthy" said Mapanji Garasakan fiery , her mother only let out a long sigh looking at her stubborn son..
Mapanji Garasakan is not without reason to behave like that because most of the dignitaries and nobles in Kahuripan did support him to become king,, because most of the rulers and nobles in Kahuripan did support him to become king,, the story of his heroism in helping Sang Prabu Airlangga defeat King Wengker was indeed a consideration of the officials to support him even though he was only a son of a concubine..

The west side of Kahuripan
It appeared that 4 people in noble clothes and a handsome young man were talking..
"How's Gusti Prince?? Are you ready to face Gusti Prabu Airlangga?" mahamantri I Halu Dyah Talang asked the young man he called the prince .
"I am not ready uncle, because uncle knows for himself if I never expect to be king in place of father" Samara Wijaya said with a sigh " Yunda Dewi Sanggramawijaya is more appropriate to lead the people of Kahuripan's uncle"
"But Gusti Putri was not willing to replace Gusti Prabu Airlangga, and chose to be a hermit..remember Gusti prince, this country needs a leader who is the son of Gusti Prabu Airlangga with Gusti Empress, not from concubines" dyah Talang said, the old man was really not willing if the throne of Kahuripan fell into the hands of Mapanji Garasakan..
"Why does uncle seem to dislike Kakang Mapanji being king??" reply Prince Samara Wijaya while looking sharply towards Dyah Talang.
"Although Gusti Prince, not a servant does not like Gusti Mapanji Garasakan to be king, but the servant just put the truth above all tastes,, because however what I convey is the customs of the Isyana dynasty that have taken place from the prince's ancestor, Sang Isyana Tunggadewa" said Dyah Talang
...
"Hemmmmm, well uncle give me time.I will think about this matter, and if there is an answer, I will inform uncle" said Prince Samara Wijaya.
"Hamba waited for the good news from Gusti prince, servant begs himself" Dyah Talang then set the prayer and hurried to retreat from Samara Wijaya residence..
'I have absolutely no interest in being king, Yunda Dewi Sanggramawijaya really troubles me ' Inner Samara Wijaya ...

Meanwhile in Padepokan Padas Putih
in the east of the temple, there is a small river and a garden in the farm of the palawaija, on the bank of the river appears a young man is moving agilely to train the style of martial arts..
The young man, Panji Watugunung appears to be practicing the 10th Shadow Sword Science he just entered...
His movements were fast and also powerful, like a martial world figure.
"Straight to 10 - Crescent Shadow___"
.
Hiaaaattt.....
From behind the lush trees appeared Ratna Pitaloka approaching towards Panji Watugunung
in his hands he held a place to eat from cloth..
"Rear, the exercise rest first"
yelled Ratna Pitaloka
Instantly Panji Watugunung stopped his steps, and turned towards the voice with a smile..
Ratna Pitaloka, the 16-year-old girl is indeed beautiful, seen from any side remains beautiful, and graceful like a beautiful jewel, although his height is only as shoulder Panji Watugunung but he looks very charming..
Slowly Patugunung Panji stepped towards Ratna Pitaloka who was sitting on a large rock under a shady kosambi tree..
"Don't keep training the legs, you also need energy, this I just caught the jungle chicken.I have cooked, eat the leg" Ratna Pitaloka said by thrusting a wooden plate to Panji Watugunung.
"Thank you sister, you know that you are hungry "reply to Panji Watugunung with a sweet smile..
"This back when training always forgets to eat" grumbled Ratna Pitaloka
"Yes yes, already do not grumble continue, later the sister quickly old loh" continued Panji..
"This brother is starting to die" said Ratna Pitaloka
"Duhh ngambek ya" , Don't be angry dong dik, Kakang kakang just kidding" replied Panji Watugunung with a smile
Ratna Pitaloka who was already pouting at the Panji Watugunung seduction, immediately flowered flowers to see the sweet smile..
.
"Hi, eat don't invite.. To dong kang" the exclamation shocked the two of them
'Huhh, you troublemaker, always interrupt my pleasure" said Ratna Pitaloka
"Here dik, let's eat together, there are still many kog" call Panji Watugunung to Sekar Mayang who shouted earlier
Sekar Mayang without a sound twice immediately approached towards Panji Watugunung, who was engrossed in enjoying his food..
"Kangmbok, I'm asking for the food, right? Hungry Kangmbok" whined Sekar Mayang on Ratna Pitaloka..
"It's just take it, but the plate is only two so if you want to eat, you use a banana leaf base only" Ratna Pitaloka said with a mocking smile..
"Why is the dish only two Kangmbok, must be a meal plan with Kangmas Panji??" search Sekar Mayang while squinting his eyes..
"It's very rowdy, a food hunt if you don't want to not spend this" said Ratna Pitaloka.
'Duh, this boy spoke in front of the Panji kang again, making me wrong '
"Yes yes Kangmbok, it's just angry.." huuu, no exclamation "answered Sekar Mayang
Mentari is already at the top of the mountain illuminating the green slopes of Penanggungan..
The bright atmosphere followed the gentle breeze
Not far from there two pairs of eyes looked at those who were enjoying food..
seriate...
