...THE SEVEN GATES OF THE UNIVERSE...
...Episode 142's...
Bayu sat cross-legged in his bed. The young man closed his eyes and began to calm himself down. A moment later in the mind of the young man appeared all his memories as a child up to the fight on an empty hill. Then his memory glared at the events when he was stranded in the village of Bojana, until the fight against the Swordsman Lightning which caused Nalini to be exposed to poison.
All of his memories have really returned. No one escaped until the events on the island of ice until the last time he was attacked by the Blue Cloaked. Slowly Bayu opened his eyes, and sweat drenched his forehead. Apparently he had been thinking so hard that it made his body shake.
“Nalini.. How are you doing now?”
“Eh. a.. I'm fine brother, what's the matter?” Nalini is nervous
Suddenly Bayu asked Nalini. Of course this makes him tick. When he was worried about Bayu's situation, the young man asked about his condition.
Hearing Nalini's reply, Bayu simply smiled. It seemed like that smile was forced. A moment in Bayu's eyes flashed a bright white light. But everything happened very quickly, no one who was there noticed the change in Bayu's eyes.
“Chairman.. You better get some rest. You must be tired for three days into the world while constantly exerting energy.” Pranggala.
“No Uncle, I'm not tired. In fact, during the last three days made my body really feel fresh.” Sahut Bayu while rising from his bed. “Uncle, I want to take a short walk around this Valley with Nalini. I want to show him the beauty of this valley.” Say Bayu again.
Hearing Bayu's words Pranggala could only nod his head to agree with the wishes of the chairman. Then Pranggala, the Golden Stick Swordsman and the Sword Goddess Khayangan pleaded to leave the Bayu Room. After that Bayu took Nalini out of the Palace around the valley which used to be a place to live and play in childhood.
“Nalini. Here I used to play as a child.”.
Today Bayu and Nalini are at the end of the eastern valley which borders directly with the mountain above it. The area was not an ordinary place, but a cemetery. The place that covers almost an acre is filled with hundreds of mounds of land on top of which placed a marker stone.
“Those who rested were the inhabitants of the Valley of Hell Palace slaughtered by a heart of the devil. They are the natives of the valley of hell.” Bayu.
Nalini who did not understand the direction of Bayu's conversation just fell silent. He saw that his heart was slightly changed. He almost felt like he was with someone else.
“The only thing left of this Valley of Hell is me and this grave. My mother's father also died. It used to be a village called Mirungga village. The place of the evacuation of the remnants of the fire tribe that survived hundreds of years ago.” A moment Bayu was silent.
“At first the fire tribe lived peacefully and peacefully, until a war occurred in this southern country. The southern kingdom was almost defeated. Then came the royal envoy to this place asking for help to the fire tribe. Because I felt that I was in the southern kingdom, my grandfather who was the leader here stated that he was willing to help the kingdom. After getting from the tribe of Fire, finally the kingdom won and the throne of the king was saved.
But apparently the greatness of the fire tribe in the science of magic and the science of warfare is considered a threat that could someday undermine the kingdom. So that one day the kingdom sent a saint to eradicate the fire tribe at that time. Lucky at that time Mother and grandfather were not here, so survived the mass murder. After a few years after the incident, then the grandfather came back here and made a fortress from natural fire that can not be passed except by the people of the tribe of fire or those who are trusted.”
Hearing Bayu's words, of course Nalini became very surprised. His brain began to deduce what happened to Bayu.
“According to my parents' story, the government side in addition to sending the magician also did a trick that made the people of the tribe of fire off guard and easily destroyed.”
“Means all this time the purpose of the Hell Valley Palace Society was established to take revenge for the events that have beenfallen the tribe of fire.”
Hearing Nalini's very precise words Bayu nodded while smiling.
“Hundreds of fire tribes that have perished must be held accountable. Even if the King does, he must be responsible.”
Suddenly Nalini shuddered at Bayu's words. He felt a fiery bias of anger in the chest of his heart. For a moment he was drowning in his daydream. The girl thought how Bayu would be when he was gone.
“Nalini.. would you honestly answer my question?”
For a moment Nalini's face turned pale. Suddenly Bayu spoke like that. The girl felt the young man's question this time would have a non-light impact. Nalini nervously nodded in response to Bayu's question.
“Why are you lying that your poison has healed?” ask Bayu seriously.
“What does kak mean?” ask Nalini pretending not to understand. His heart is so worried now. His heart is beating fast. He almost sat down in limp.
“I already know that the poison of the Snow Porcupine Feathers is still incubating in your body. When the sixth gate of the Sevenfold Science Gate of my Universe opened, using that power I was able to see some sort of magical power or foreign energy in the body of another person. A moment when I realized the power of the sixth gate was still enveloping, at that moment my eyes saw it.”
Hearing Bayu's explanation, this time Nalini was completely limp. His feet could no longer support his weight until he fell down. His eyes could not hold back the tears that expanded until they fell down. Then Bayu sat down beside him.
“I have no intention of lying to you at all. I just don't want my recovery to sacrifice the lives of others. Actually it's only me and the Ice Island King who know about it. Even Intan himself does not know.”
Then Nalini told at length the incident that passed through him while in the ice island heritage cave. At that time he heard Intan's plea to the Ice Island King to take his Heart for Nalini's healing. This he did because he did not want Bayu sad if Nalini died. Intan is willing to sacrifice herself for the happiness of her loved ones.
Hearing Nalini's story for a moment Bayu fell silent. He himself is confused to determine the attitude. He himself if he was in the position of Nalini would not want his recovery exchanged with the lives of others. Especially after his memory recovered, his heart was currently inhabited by these two beautiful girls. It's not he who wants it, but the circumstances that make it like that.
“After I finish my business here, we will go to the ice island asking the Ice Island King who knows there are other ways to cure you.” Firmly Bayu.
Nalini was silent. He did not agree nor reject Bayu's remarks. But his heart was really worried about the change in Bayu's attitude. It seemed a cold attitude that implied the cruelty hidden within him.
