The End of the World - Story I
The Story of the Past: Behind the Chaos (2.2)
...~ ◊ ~...
That night, I (Udhata), Sodha, and Wirasana along with several troops sneak into the celebration party and launch a surprise attack. We managed to kill some of the nobles who were invited guests and the Queen, the wife of King Bawika.
However, some of our men were caught by Basita who was at the palace of King Bawika. And they also leaked out the attack that we had.
King Bawika who grieves the departure of his beloved wife also fell in anger and desire revenge.
Along with the hatred, King Bawika also waged war on King Amarah who was the mastermind of the attack that killed his wife.
Before long, King Bawika immediately descended to the battlefield to lead his revenge army.
King Amarah did not stay silent, he also sent the three of us and his troops to block the attack of King Bawika. Fighting broke out on the border of the two kingdoms.
Our troops with the strength of 3 Knights also managed to push back King Bawika's army to reach the desert.
The field was unfavorable for our troops, so we decided to withdraw the troops rather than lose the battle against the enemy who controlled the battlefield.
King Bawika who did not accept with his first defeat also forced his troops to ambush our troops from behind. But his hasty attack coupled with the absence of the Knight Basita in his army made King Bawika again swallow the bitter defeat.
Along with all his disappointment and sadness, King Bawika withdrew his entire army and set up a rest camp in the middle of the desert in his territory.
...~ ◊ ~...
On the other hand, Santika who also wants to avenge the greedy King's army for his cruelty destroys his hometown and tarnishes his chastity, which is, he also did not want to just stay silent and plan another strategy for revenge.
On the orders of King Amarah, Santika along with a group of comfort women were sent to the resting camp of King Bawika's troops. With a strategy they will finish secretly the troops while they are doing 'entertainment'.
Santika who has now mastered the magic power of his Jin is assigned to do 'entertainment' in the tent of King Bawika. With his power, he will perform enchantment manipulation magic to brainwash the King.
Santika did not mind the role. He said that “After all I am no longer a girl who ‘clean’. It doesn't matter if you do dirty things for this purpose.”
Those words really broke my heart. The woman I love so much is now willing to become ‘hole trap’ just for the sake of revenge ambition.
Plans he also did. Santika now comes to King Bawika's tent. But there only appeared a man who was crying moaning, still grieving the death of his beloved wife and the futile sacrifice of his troops because of his carelessness.
Santika who saw him felt touched by the sincerity and sadness that was revealed by the man. Then he came closer to her and asked
“If you are so saddened by death, then why did you send your troops to take lives and torture innocent people?”
“What do you mean, young lady?” asked the King, wiping off his tears. He seemed so sorry for his actions that many of his troops became victims of his revenge ambitions.
“A few months ago, didn't you send an army to attack the southern coast of King Amarah? That place is my hometown. Your troops destroyed, massacred, and raped innocent villagers. I also did not escape being his victim.”
“What are you saying, Miss? The past few months my army has been busy defending against the Lust King's assault on the northern border. There's no way we're sending a fleet to invade other territories at such a time. After all, the southern area of the Raja Amarah region is not a strategic place to carry out attacks, which must pass through the burning mountains of fire if you want to master it,” explained King Bawika.
Hearing a reasonable answer from King Bawika, Santika also remembered the ships brought by the fleet that attacked the village.
The ships are bright red with a fire carving pattern on the hull. Just like the ships he saw in the capital of the Kingdom of Amarah.
At once he realized that he and all of us had been deceived by the stratagem of the King of Anger who wanted to use the power of the three Knights and half-Jinn descendants to defeat his close neighbor, the Kingdom of Greed.
Feeling played, Santika was bowed listlessly, no longer knowing where the truth lies. Everything is full of tricks and tricks. All the villagers he loved had to die and be tormented just because of a sheepfighting scheme.
“Pardon me and my friends for killing your wife and bringing sorrow and regret to your innocent self.” Unknowingly Santika said that to King Bawika.
“I understand. So you too have been fooled apparently,” muttered the King. “Poor girl. I hope you and your friends you call can see the real truth. Well, even though I was blinded from it to bring deep regret made.”
In the conversation between the two of them, Santika suddenly remembered the mission she was supposed to carry out. But after knowing the real mastermind, Santika also warned King Bawika that the comfort women who came to his army camp were pieces of King Amarah to kill secretly all his troops.
But it turned out that King Bawika had sniffed the cunning tactics of the foreign women coming to his camp. He asked his soldiers to arrest them.
King Bawika also believes the women also have a similar story with Santika. Adhered by the doctrine of hatred against other Kings, in order to be controlled for the personal interests of the King of Wrath.
After that, the two of them continued to talk and express sadness to each other. Share the suffering and begin to strengthen each other.
...~ ◊ ~...
I, Sodha, and Wirasana who were on standby in the shadows of the night, waiting for the signal from the santika. Namu never any sign of success or failure of the 'entertainment' mission he carried.
We who were beginning to worry about the state of Santika also decided to sneak into the camp of King Bawika. But when trying to peek into the King's tent, there was a man's voice, accompanied by the sound of a girl's sobbing, it was Santika's voice.
“Come in, young Knights. Come and meet your friends who are languishing.”
King Bawika has realized our existence. Concerned about Santika's situation, we rushed into his tent. In the dim candlelight, there were two people sitting opposite, one of them Santika who was still in the sob.
We then swiftly drew the sword at the others who were in front. The King could only fall silent, letting the girl before him calm down. After leaving the sobbing, Santika asked us to lower the sword that was in hand.
He also explained about the truth and all the devious tactics that have fooled all of us, and King Bawika was the victim of the impact. His innocent wife, killed by our blind dings. His army also suffered many lives because of the revenge of the King of Amarah who was blighted.
We don't fully believe in the truth of the King. But seeing a quieter Santika after talking with King Bawika, added to our guilt that had killed the King's wife who knew nothing, he said, we finally agreed to stop all the endless chains of revenge.
Basita did not serve or submit to King Bawika. He supported the Greedy Kingdom only because he wanted to accompany his favorite disciple.
As we were talking, a cold wind suddenly came, and the candle was extinguished. Instantly we all stood on standby, preparing the horses. In the dark space without any light, a white mist slowly appeared. Then I heard a voice
“Okay peace seekers. Destroy all who are the cause of sorrow. And unite the entire continent under one kingdom.”
“Who are you?!” ask Wirasana.
“Wirasana the Hamung Tuwuh. Achieve success and proud achievements to prove your ability to the teacher who left you.”
“Show me your form!” Sodha.
“Sodha the Pinandita. Female knights thirsting for power. Create a deadly weapon to achieve all victories.”
“What kind of creature are you?” my many.
“Udhata the Pambuka Gapura. A mighty knight who craves love. Relieve the longing soul, for the sake of another more precious happiness.”
“What did your arrival mean?” ask Santika.
“Santika the beautiful half Jin Man. You are the hope of the world. I'll give you tremendous power to reverse the history of the entire continent.”
After that, a bright light emanated from Santika's body. It felt an incredible amount of magic energy.
Each of our names was called by that mysterious voice, as if what he said felt very true. We feel compelled to do everything he says.
“What are you doing?” asked King Bawika to see the strangeness before him.
“Bawika the King of Greed. If you want revenge for the death of your beloved wife, then I will give it to you. Even the power to make everyone submit to you. If everyone follows your orders, then no one else will hurt your family. Right no?”
Like being possessed by an invisible creature, Santika suddenly said that to King Bawika. And the King who was still in sorrow, after hearing it then rose again his desire for revenge. But this time to stop it and the last time.
That is the story of the formation of an unconscious agreement between us and King Bawika with mysterious invisible creatures. With the great power he gave to Santika, we secretly helped King Bawika to conquer the other Bengis Kings and reunite the entire continent.
Together, King Bawika married Santika to make her Queen of his kingdom. As the mysterious voice said, I must give it up for the sake of unification of the continent and stop endless wars.
With the great power of Santika who is now his Queen and the third power of the Knights, in a short time King Bawika managed to conquer all corners of the continent. Except for the Island of the Angker led by a monkey.
Right after that, a mysterious voice came back to us with a word
“True peace and justice will only be created by the coming of Emperor Akbar. For this reason, his prophecy must be fulfilled.
...When the World is Getting Old...
...Peace and Justice Considered Belaka Fairy Tales...
...The Shackles of Crime Merajalela...
...And the Unifier Lost His Head...
...He Will Return With the Burning Banner of Akbar...
...The Leader Without a Crown...
Create and fulfill the signs of his prophecy to call back the peace and justice that he aspires to.”
As if it made sense, we were compelled to obey it. We made the scheme of victory of King Bawika the King of Greed who has succeeded in reuniting the continent by spreading the news about him who became the 'Bringer of the Panji Akbar' in the prophecy and became King of Angkara: The 7 Kingdoms.
Under the pretext of fighting the rebels from Angker Island, we sent orders to all regions on behalf of King Angkara to gather all troops from all corners of the continent.
In order to fulfill the second and third line mark in the prophecy, we created chaos and destruction with Santika's Slavery Magic and split Mankind into 4 opposing camps.
With the many casualties that fall in battle, the spirits of the victims of war are used to increase the magic power of Santika to reach all parts of the continent.
That way the first, second, and third lines in the prophecy of Emperor Akbar was successfully fulfilled.
After several years of war, Prince I finally, the candidate of the Banner-bearer Akbar finally fulfilled the fifth and sixth lines of the prophecy after he succeeded in reuniting the Human Nation and the Hayawan Nation in one great banner of unity.
Finally there is another line of divination that must be fulfilled, namely line four: “Sang Unifying Lost Head”.
The unifier, King Angkara was created. Now it is time for us to sacrifice him to be beheaded the Burning Bearer of the Panji Akbar.
That way, the prediction of Emperor Akbar will be completely fulfilled. And he will come again to lead all beings and bring true peace, justice, and prosperity upon his Great Continent.
We have sacrificed many things and also many lives to fulfill the contents of the prophecy. Now there is one more left.
Our sacrifice must not end in vain. In order to call back the wise Emperor and to bring back the peace and justice that had long been in the long-cherished. So that no more grandchildren will feel all our suffering.
