THE BLOOD OF JAVA
BLOOD OF JAVA: Episode 52
The situation of Prabu Bujang Antasura is getting more and more concerning. His body began to slowly thin. A black line in his eyes. His face was also pale white.
The impact effect of the science of kanuragan and also the power of inheritance owned by Ditya Kalana and also Prabu Bujang Antasura is really very extraordinary. Prabu Bujang Antasura has never experienced such severe pain.
There is already present Prabu Bagas Candramawa who is visiting him. Prabu Bagas Candramawa has been there for days. He was very concerned about his friend.
“I did not know at all that Prabu Bujang Kalana fought with Gabah Lanang. I was too busy taking care of my newly grown government. I'm sorry my best friend.” Prabu said Bagas Candramawa while holding his best friend's right hand.
“No need to grieve my friend. I'll be healed. A son of the mandraguna has been sent by Prabu Jabang Wiyagra to me. I will definitely be as healthy as ever.” Prabu Bujang Antasura.
In that state of pain, he was still thinking about his government, and could still smile at everyone present. Not one bit did he show his sadness.
“It's my best friend. Don't even think about your royal government. I have sent Maha Patih Widhala to take care of everything. Now, no more people hate you.” Prabu Bagas Candramawa to calm Prabu Bujang Antasura.
In fact, until now there are still people who do not like Prabu Bujang Antasura. Because of his work that likes gradag-grudug, many kings under his rule died.
Currently, Maha Patih Widhala is trying hard to reconcile the small kingdoms that turned to attack Prabu Bujang Antasura.
Many of them also finally came to their senses and rejoined Antasura Kingdom. But not a few are still trying to escape. Because they have been very angry with Prabu Bujang Antasura.
Maha Patih Widhala prioritizes the way of peace to all the people of Antasura Kingdom. Because if you prioritize violence, more and more people will be provoked by it.
Actually Maha Patih Widhala and Prabu Bagas Candramawa have helped provide compensation, and even built their palaces abandoned by their kings. But still they can't accept all that.
And the kings of the dead have said farewell to their families. Likewise with Prabu Bujang Antasura who did not promise them, if everything would go well.
But after everything happened, those who were disappointed also vented their anger to the Antasura Kingdom. And try to rebel with all the power they have.
Maha Patih Widhala already knows, if there is a group of people who always try to provoke them all. A group of people who were not this number had somehow come from nowhere.
What is clear is that they carried out attacks on small kingdoms that were vengeful to Prabu Bujang Antasura, in the name of an envoy from Antasura Kingdom.
Prabu Bujang Antasura never sent anyone to attack his own people. No matter how cruel Prabu Bujang Antasura was, he never treated his people cruelly.
The matter was covered up by Prabu Bagas Candramawa and Maha Patih Widhala, as well as everyone inside the Antasura Kingdom palace. Because they are worried, if later it will add to the burden of Prabu Bujang Antasura's mind.
“Are you sure my friend? If my people will not rebel against me?” Ask Prabu Bujang Antasura to Prabu Bagas Candramawa.
“Of course not my best friend. They already know everything. They all already understood and understood what had happened in that battle.”
“.....Your people love you very much, Prabu Antasura. Even if they are not in this place, it does not mean they do not care.”
“Yes. I trust you, Prabu Candramawa.”
Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri suddenly came and asked Prabu Bujang Antasura for permission, if they had to go somewhere, to take something that could be Prabu Bujang Antasura's pain medicine.
Lare Damar gets a clue, if there is a powerful mandraguna who lives in a volcano. And he is the ruler of that mountain. But the mountain is very dangerous and not just anyone can go there.
“A volcano? Are you sure Lare Damar? I'm not underestimating you. But do you want to endanger yourself for this new person you know?” Prabu Bujang Antasura.
“With all due respect Gusti Prabu. Servants come to this place on the orders of Kakang Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. His command is the absolute law for servants.” Answer Lare Damar.
“Your heart is so noble Lare Damar. But if I may know, where is that mountain?”
“The mountain is located at the very end of Java. That mountain is Mount Khayangan, Gusti Prabu.”
Prabu Bujang Antasura and Prabu Bagas Candramawa were surprised to hear the name of the mountain. Because no one can survive the supernatural influence of Mount Khayangan.
“Lare Damar, that's a very, very dangerous mountain. You could die if you go there. No, just let me be sick. I don't want to sacrifice anyone Lare Damar.”
“.....That battle was enough for me. I don't want to bear the guilt of my entire life, because I sacrificed you for my recovery.” Prabu Bujang Antasura.
Prabu Bagas Candramawa also forbade Lare Damar to go there. Because there have been many magic figures who went to the mountain, but never heard from again.
“Sorry Gusti Prabu. I am well-intentioned to help someone. Said the Supreme Master, good intentions will be reciprocated with good things anyway.”
“Hamba promised, I will go home and regroup in this place together with Gusti Prabu Bujang Antasura. And back to Wiyagra Malela.”
Prabu Bujang Antasura shed tears hearing that remark. All his life, all he learned was how to become a superpower. This sentence really touched his heart.
“Lare Damar, if your decision is like that, then I can't ban it. But, it's good you ask permission first to Prabu Jabang Wiyagra. Ask for blessing from him.”
“Good Gusti Prabu. Slave and Patih Kinjiri permission farewell. Pray for Gusti Prabu.”
“Yes. My prayers are always with you Lare Damar. Be careful my brother.”
“Nggih Gusti.”
Lare Damar and Maha Patih Kinjiri also came out of the Antasura Kingdom palace. After arriving at the gate, they used the knowledge they had at their disposal to get quickly to the Viyagra Malela Kingdom.
They both flew very fast. It was even as fast as lightning. Tens of villages have passed through. Even the two of them could clearly see the existence of Mount Khayangan.
The mountain is high. People even call it ‘Sunung Sundul Langit’. Because the mountain was very high, and its height almost reached the end of the sky.
I can't imagine going up to that mountain on foot. It can take days, or even months. I can't imagine what if the mountain erupted. There's gonna be a lot of terrible things going on.
Soon, they finally arrived in front of the gate of the palace of the Wiyagra Malela Kingdom. They were astonished, because there was already Prabu Jabang Wiygara waiting for the two of them.
“Finally you two arrived too. I already know what you're gonna do. I allow you two to go to Mount Khayangan.”
Lare Damar and Patih Kinjiri looked at each other. They were both astonished, because Prabu Jabang Wiyagra already knew the intention of their return to the Kingdom of Wiyagra Malela.
“But remember Lare Damar, and Patih Kinjiri. The test there is much heavier than you might imagine. All the deeds you do, will be shown to you.”
“.....Not only that, if you change just a little bit of your intention, then you will be forever enslaved by Mount Khayangan. Do you guys understand?”
“Paham Gusti Prabu.”
“Straighten and express your intentions. Never want to be fooled by Mount Khayangan with all its beauty. Keep walking, don't stop. Even if you have to crawl.”
“.....There will be a powerful mandraguna who will not work with any magic. He is known by the name, Eyang Badranaya.”
“.....Only people with sincere intentions could meet him. If you have bad intentions, or just want to satisfy your ambitions, then forever you will revolve on Mount Khayangan.”
“.....And will never be able to return.”
Prabu Jabang Wiyagra told them both.
They both took a deep breath, because they knew it was a very tough test for both of them.
But a promise is a promise. Promises must be kept. Their intentions were already steady and hard to shake. They won't come back until they get what they need.
In the end, they both went to Mount Khayangan. But this time, they were on foot and did not use their wisdom. All of that was done to test their patience, how strong they were on the long and long journey, which was extremely exhausting.
