The Fire Dragon Sword
The Dark Side of the Universe
"Go to the dark side of the universe?" Sabrang seemed to be in disbelief on the terms that the White Fox had placed on him.
"You may choose it, if you ask me for two days to solve the problems you face, I will give you permission on condition of following me to the dark side of the universe first," reply White Fox slowly.
"But isn't my physical training finished yet?" asked Sabrang confused.
"We don't have any more time, a few days ago we wasted time at Gropak Waton, if we continue to do physical exercise then more time will be wasted.
If the prophecy is true then there are currently only two white lights, we need all the power to defeat them. There is no time to relax, I will take you to the dark side of the universe and see the reaction of your body, after which I give you two days before focusing on practicing," replied the White Fox.
Sabrang was seen thinking for a moment before nodding his head. The incident at Gropak Waton made him realize that the power of world leaders is very large considering they are trained directly by the magic ascetic wand of white light.
"Well, follow me and don't be left behind" the White Fox suddenly moved quickly out of the rainbow valley waterfall.
"What's the rush like this?" swear Sabrang while continuously increasing his speed to compensate for the movements of the White Fox.
With the speed they used did not take long to get into a very beautiful pine forest.
This forest is a little hidden and is behind the rainbow valley waterfall. It is not easy for people to find this place because it is covered by a wall of towering rock cliffs.
When viewed from the top of the rainbow valley waterfall, it only looks a very deep gaping chasm, no one thinks if on the bottom of the gorge there is a very beautiful pine forest.
But if you walk around the rainbow waterfall and enter through a narrow enough rock gap on one side of the cliff will appear on the bottom of the gorge and be greeted by fresh air typical of Nuswatoro forest.
Sabrang stared at the amazement of the forest before him, the sound of water rustling the river and the chirping of birds that were linking to each other made him more soluble in his daydream.
"Prepare, here the laws of nature seem to not apply. the deeper we go into the forest the air will get thinner and your body will get heavier because of the pressure of the strange aura that envelops this place," said the white fox quietly while stepping into the forest.
Just a few seconds after the White Fox spoke, Sabrang began to feel an oddity in his body as it went deeper.
His breath began to be severed and his body let out a cold sweat. Sabrang was forced to stop his steps to regulate his breathing, he felt as if his body was being hit by a very heavy burden.
"What happened to my body?" sabrang said slowly. Sabrang was more confused because he had only walked a few steps but seemed to have traveled for days.
Sabrang was not an indiscriminate swordsman, the dozens of opponents with great auras he had faced included the air wall of Kuntala, the leader of the guardian god Masalembo but the atmosphere of the pine forest was very different.
The aura that was pressing down on him this time was like it could not be resisted, as powerful as it was as it was to channel the pure energy within his body but still unable to reduce the pressure he felt.
The White Fox stopped its steps while smilingly staring at Sabrang.
"Just you're pouring deep energy all over your body, on the dark side of the universe science is useless. Deep power requires constant breathing, pulling all the energy you're flowing because that's what makes you tired like that.
This place is very appropriate to train the body and breathing that is the key to the kanuragan," said the white fox slowly.
Sabrang began to withdraw all of his energy that had once flowed throughout his body according to the White Fox's suggestion. Before long one miracle seemed to happen, Sabrang's body became a little light and he began to be able to walk again.
"Let your body empty, as if you have no inner energy and try to blend in with the dark side of the universe. Set your breathing back and don't move too much unnecessarily because your body is currently in an adaptation stage.
You see that high mountain? that's where we aim, the pressure there is much stronger than this place, you have to adapt quickly" said the White Fox as he walked back.
"How did you find this place?" asked Sabrang then after successfully controlling his body.
"I don't know, something in my head seems to lead me to this place. As I said at Gropak Waton, I cannot remember some of my childhood memories but sometimes something comes to mind as if to guide me," the White Fox replied.
"Why is this place called the dark side of the universe?" asked Sabrang who was walking behind the White Fox.
"This place is very different, all the laws of nature seem not to apply here. The air that is very thin and difficult to penetrate the sun should make this place dry but you see for yourself, all the trees are even more fertile than other places.
The crystal clear waters of the river are a message for all of us, if nature wills then anything will happen. Entering this place is like having us in another dimension," replied the White Fox.

"You're conscious, son?" Guntoro looked at his son who was lying on a large rock.
"What happened to me?" tanya Mentari was confused when she felt that her body was difficult to move and her breathing was very heavy.
"That's the usual reaction when you first enter this place, you just need to adapt to the atmosphere of this mountain. No one can find this place because it is very hidden," replied Guntoro.
"I have to go back and see the queen's mistress to explain the mess you've made" Mentari tried to get up but her breathing became more and more irregular.
"Forgot him, we are in a very far place from Malwageni" Guntoro replied.
Mentari shook his head slowly, "Whatever you say about His Majesty, will not make me change my mind, I have to go back to the palace," replied Mentari ketus.
"Did you love him so much?" asked Guntoro coldly.
"The noble one is the one who cares deeply for me when everyone is trying to take advantage of me. When my father left me with my foster mother, that's when my whole life ended.
Your Majesty is the one who gives a new purpose in life, I not only love him, I am even willing to die for His Majesty" Mentari replied.
Guntoro looked at Mentari as he continued to look for ways to make his son live in that place.
"Well if you keep insisting, restore your body first, then do what you want to do" replied Guntoro.
Mentari was seen nodding, she was staring at her surroundings with a puzzled face.
"Where is dad? why is my body so heavy?" tanya Mentari was confused.
"This place is where our ancestors practiced canuragan science, the great lord Rakin discovered this place by accident while searching for the white glow stick. An heirloom stick that is said to choose its own master.
You know what makes this place so special? the enormous air and pressure of the mysterious aura could not be resisted by an internal force of any magnitude.
"The dark side of the universe?" Mentari scrunched his forehead.
"Listen son, the three disciples of Lord Rakin cannot be defeated by anyone including the king you love. Live with you here, never find this place and let you make amends for what I used to do" Guntoro said.
"Dad, if we are descendants of Lord Rakin then the father should master the science of our family, right?" tanya Mentari arrived.
"Partially," answered Guntoro confusedly.
"I'll forgive all of my mistakes on one condition, teach me all of the magic I have. I want to become stronger in order to help His Majesty," Mentari asked Guntoro.
"This child did not listen to my words at all, what nature actually planned by bringing the two of them together" Guntoro said in his heart.
"With your body at this time you will not be able to learn the science of canuragan, you must familiarize your body here first before practicing," replied Guntoro.
"I'll try my best" Mentari got up from her seat and began to slowly step out.
"What are you gonna do?" ask Guntoro confused.
"I have to get used to this body adapting to all this heavy pressure, I really have to be strong" replied Mentari slowly.
"Why do you keep thinking about him? does that kid mean more to you than dad?"
"Dad and His Majesty are two different things, I love my father very much even though I was very angry because of my father's attitude.
If you ask me what I feel when I'm with Your Majesty, it's probably almost the same as how you felt when you were with your mother first" Mentari replied as she stepped out.
"He's so much like you, I see you in Mentari's body. You really gave me a very beautiful child, my wife," Guntoro said softly.

Wardhana was seen staring intently at Airin sitting in front of him. The woman's face looked nervous, for almost half an hour not once did Airin dare to look at Wardhana.
What made Airin even more afraid was that for half an hour he sat in that chair not a word came out of Wardhana's mouth.
Wardhana just kept quiet without asking anything.
"Master," Airin ventured to speak.
"Is there anything you want to say?" Wardhana finally started talking.
"Sorry sir, you called me here but not a word you speak, what do you really want?" ask Airin slowly.
"You know, lady, what's the most painful death in life?" ask Wardhana to arrive.
Airin's heart was pounding when he heard Wardhana's sharp question.
"Hamba doesn't know sir" replied Airin.
"Just under the seat you're sitting in, I'm building a holding room for Malwageni traitors. You wouldn't want to imagine dying slowly and painfully in a stuffy room without light and food. I felt it when I was a prisoner in Saung Galah, if you were in my position maybe you would rather die by a very sharp sword than die in silence" Wardhana said.
"What do you mean, sir?" airin said with a trembling voice.
"Nothing, I just want to find a conversation with you" replied Wardhana.
Airin looked at Wardhana confused, he really did not understand Wardhana's mind. He should have been interrogated by Wardhana according to Daritri when he called him.
Airin was even taught by Daritri to answer the question of trapping Wardhana, but instead of asking, Wardhana just silent sculpting.
Not only Airin is confused with Wardhana's attitude, Sora's cow near Wardhana was not inexhaustible with Wardhana's attitude.
"Call madam Daritri in," Wardhana orders Sora.
"Okay sir," Sora replied before stepping out.
Before long Daritri appeared with Sora, he lowered his head before sitting next to Airin.
"You can get out, I've got enough answers I want" Wardhana told Airin.
"My answer?" Airin scrunched his forehead before lowering his head and stepping away.
Airin's face looked puzzled, how Wardhana could say getting an answer if she didn't ask him a word.
"Sora, make sure that Airin is locked up in his room and that no one is allowed to see him without my permission, your life is at stake" Wardhana said coldly.
"Hamba will make sure sir," replied Sora who also looked puzzled.
"And for you, come again tomorrow, I want to match your answer to Airin, now go, ", Wardhana said.
"Okay sir, tomorrow the servant will come again," Daritri lowered her head before stepping away.
"Master," said Sora quietly after Daritri left.
"You want to know why I didn't ask Airin one bit, right? tomorrow you will know the answer" Wardhana replied with a meaningful smile.
