The Fire Dragon Sword
The Loyalty of the Fire Dragon
"Honor the Queen's Gusti" said Wardhana, bowing his head as he met Sekar Pitaloka in the king's room.
"Did you bring everything I asked for?" reply Sekar Pitaloka.
Wardhana nodded slowly, she handed some scrolls to Sekar Pitaloka and explained the name of the official written on the scroll.
"They were the officials supporting Adiwilaga all this time, the servant had already checked in silence and there was a possibility of them using the royal finances for personal gain. Currently servants did not have enough evidence because their movements were very smooth.
If this matter is investigated it will make a rowdy palace because some noble trust officials seem to be involved and they will fight at all costs" Wardhana explained.
Sekar Pitaloka looked surprised after reading some names that were allegedly involved in some crimes that harmed Malwageni.
"Do they intend to get rid of His Majesty?" tanya Sekar growled.
"That's the estimation of Gusti's servant queen, which makes them doubt move so far is the power of Your Majesty, if he is not the strongest swordsman maybe they have long been carrying out a coup. Forgive me for being late to realize their plans regarding the queen, they seemed to be drawing up strength as long as the servant and His Majesty pursued Masalembo," Wardhana replied softly.
As Pitaloka nodded slowly, he understood Wardhana's reason for this incident was almost the same as that of Arya Dwipa.
At that time Arya Dwipa was busy investigating Masalembo and Thunder Fire so that he did not realize some of his ministers were betraying and selling defense secrets to Majasari.
"Then what are we going to do?"
"As I said, if we open an investigation into this matter now, they will fight back and we don't have enough evidence.
Servants have one plan to make them hostile to each other, we will let them die slowly without any commotion at all but I need your help" Wardhana replied.
"Say" replied Sekar Pitaloka quickly.
Wardhana then explained the plan in detail including who would be involved.
As Pitaloka nodded slowly, he then asked a few things to make sure the plan would work.
"If you want to kill fish in a pond, you do not need to destroy the pond and its contents because it will be very detrimental, he said, we just need to hole the pond for the water to recede and the fish will die slowly" Wardhana said slowly.
"It looks like you've changed a lot Wardhana, if I don't know you maybe I'm afraid of that cruel plan you've made" said Sekar Pitaloka in amazement.
"Hamba just wants to make sure Malwageni is not harmed by them and if it has to make the servant into a cruel demon then will the servant do without hesitation."
"Thank you for all your loyalty to Malwagen Wardhana, I really appreciate it" said Sekar Pitaloka.
"Please don't talk like that Gusti queen, I'm just doing what I think is right" Wardhana replied.
"Have you heard from Arung about my son's whereabouts?" ask Sekar.
"Sorry wrestling queen, to this day the servant still has not succeeded" replied Wardhana while bowing her head.
Sekar seemed disappointed to hear Wardhana's answer but he still tried to hide it because he knew Wardhana had worked very hard.
"No need to apologize, keep looking for her whereabouts because I'm sure she's alive."
"Hamba will try as hard as the queen's wrestling," Wardhana replied.
"The queen of the White Fox and Miss Wulan asked to face" said one of the guards from behind the door.
"Have them come in" Sekar Pitaloka replied as he tidied the scrolls on his desk.
"Run all the plans you made, I want them all arrested" Sekar Pitaloka ordered.
"Thank you Gusti the queen, I beg you," Wardhana replied as she saluted before stepping away.
As Pitaloka nodded, he stared at Wardhana's departure until White Fox and Wulan appeared from behind the door.
"Sit down" Sekar Pitaloka said to the two of them.
"It looks like the condition of Malwageni is not good," said the white fox stale base.
"Losing the figure of Sabrang is very shaking the palace even though they do not know the true events, we are trying to regain control of the palace," replied Sekar Pitaloka while taking a book from his pocket.
"You remember the incident when Sabrang was possessed by the Fire God, he shouted calling the Wave Blade, it seems this book is related to that incident" said Sekar Continuing.
"Related to a book?" Wulan scrunched her forehead.
The face of the White Fox changed instantly, he stared in disbelief at the book before him.
"Sabdo Lodge? where'd you get it?" tanya Wulan arrived.
"I found the book in an ancient tomb on Punthuk Setumbu mountain while investigating about the Thunder of Fire. Do you know about the book?"
"No, I just feel like I've heard it," Wulan replied covering up, she recalled Wardhana's remark for not telling her what they found at the top of Mount Padang.
"Punthuk Mountain Setumbu? isn't that a mountain that is often referred to as a land above the clouds?" ask the White Foxes quickly.
"True, on the west side of the mountain there was a cave to the ancient tomb, that's where I found the book" Sekar Pilatoka replied.
"Punthuk Setumbu Mountain near Menoreh Hill, whether this is a coincidence or..," White Fox seemed to think while remembering the story of his teacher about the dark history that occurred in Menoreh Hill.
"In some parts of the book it mentions the inheritance of the Wave Blade. After returning from Nagari Siang Padang, I read the book overnight to find out about the Wave Bar.
One thing I understand, the book seems to be the center of all the science and art of war that exists in the martial world but unfortunately some of the last pages of the book seem to have been torn by someone," sekar Pitaloka.
"missing? as I recall when my father showed me the book, all the pages were still complete" Wulan said in her heart.
The White Fox seemed to think for a moment before returning the book to Sekar Pitaloka.
"I will try to examine the ancient tomb, hopefully there are other clues," said the White Fox.
"Be careful, because in that place also according to the story of a swordsman dubbed the God of the Eastern Sword disappeared twenty years ago or exactly a year before Suliwa shook the martial world with the sword of the Fire Dragon," sekar Pitaloka warned.
"Eastern Sword God?" asked the White Fox curiously.
"The Eastern Sword God was a nickname for a mysterious swordsman who at that time possessed a strange yet terrifying power. When his name became famous in the martial world inexplicably he disappeared and according to news some people saw him at the foot of Mount Punthuk Setumbu before disappearing," replied Sekar Pitaloka.

Sabrang opened his eyes slowly, he stared at the surroundings and found nothing but a few small tables with a pot of drinking water on them.
"Where is this?" sabrang said as he tried to get up, but he undoes his intention while feeling excruciating pain almost all over his body.
"It's good that you're back stupid," the Fire Dragon said in his mind.
"So I'm still alive?" ask Sabrang relieved.
"Anom, explain it to her," the Fire Dragon replied in annoyance.
Anom chuckled at the Fire Dragon's child-like manner.
"Someone saved you with all her strength, she possessed your body when you lost consciousness and sent us out in a time and space manner before sealing the dimension back. It seems like he doesn't want to lose you" Anom replied with a chuckle.
"I just want to save myself," the Fire Dragon retorted quickly.
"Save yourself?" tease Anom while laughing.
Sabrang who began to understand just a small smile, he closed his eyes again to drain the power into his entire body but to no avail.
"For a few days maybe you won't be able to use your strength, your body has reached its limit" the Fire Dragon said.
"Thank you Fire Dragon, I know you will protect me" Sabrang replied softly.
"You're sober, son?" a man appeared from behind the door while carrying a medicinal plant.
"You?" Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"Call me Revelation, you are really lucky to be alive with such severe wounds. When I found you by the river, I thought you were dead" replied Revelation Tama.
"Where's the cake?" ask Sabrang slowly.
"You take it easy, no one will be able to find you right now, even if they try to detect the fire demon energy in your body" Revelation Tama replied.
Sabrang's face changed instantly after hearing the Revelation of Tama.
"Not to be surprised, even though I have been locked up in this place for a long time, but my ability to feel one's energy has not faded. I don't know how the fire demon is in your body but you are maintaining a terrible creature" said Wahyu Tama.
"It looks like grandfather is not a random swordsman" Sabrang said.
"Decker? I've forgotten that nickname a long time, son."
"Drink, this potion will restore the inner strength quickly," Revelation Tama gave the potion he had just made to Sabrang.
After drinking the potion, Sabrang again tried to move his body.
"Sial still can't" said Sabrang upset.
"Your body is still very weak due to the internal injuries you suffered, you should not push yourself too much before you really recover," said Wahyu Tama while examining Sabrang's hands.
"I must quickly return to Malwageni, they must be very worried" Sabrang replied softly.
"Malwagen?" tanya Wahyu Tama was surprised.
Sabrang nodded softly, "Have grandfather ever been to Malwageni?"
"No, I just remembered a woman who had lived with me in this place. He I found on the mountain slope was seriously injured, if I don't remember wrong, he also said he was from Malwageni" replied Wahyu Tama.
"Mother?" sabrang said in his heart.
"Your wounds have improved, it seems like the fire demon energy hastened its healing, in a few days you will be able to reuse the power within" said Wahyu Tama.
"Thank you cake," Sabrang replied politely.
"I will look for medicinal plants for you in the forest, you better rest," Revelation Tama stepped out with a puzzled face.
"Rightly I guessed, the Sabdo Palon reacted when it was near the boy," the Revelation said in its heart.
