The Sword of Somplak

The Sword of Somplak
Coastal


All three fall asleep in tandem with a puff of beach wind that is so strong at night. The cold temperature that hit did not make the three cold let alone catch a cold. The body of the Ucup coming from the universe's core pearl by itself adjusts the air temperature and makes the two girls so comfortable to be near it.


In the morning, Ucup woke up feeling refreshed that filled his morning. When his eyes opened, the view of the coast in the morning after sunrise greeted him with a stunning beauty.


The golden light of the morning sun sweeps the beach with warm colors, creating shadows that play the game with the sand still damp. The gentle waves roll with a soothing rhythm, like a song of nature waking him from sleep.


Ucup felt that this morning was the perfect start to his challenging adventure, and he breathed in the fresh sea air with a feeling of excitement and excitement.


Stared at the two girls who were still asleep in their sleep, Ucup then gently kissed the two eyebrows alternately. Xue Xie opened his eyes feeling a soft touch from Ucup. Her lips widened displaying a smile that was so graceful. While the Diamond wriggling does not want to be separated from the body of Ucup. He further tightened his body, and accidentally, one hand grasped the sleeping monster, squeezed it and gently rubbed it.


Ucup looked up and Xue Xie glanced down at Ucup. The two then looked at each other. 


“Ja ... don't blame me!” said Ucup a little nervous. He looked at Xue Xie with a feeling that went awry.


“You are not wrong, but why not immediately pull it?” Xue Xie looked at Ucup sharply.


“I was afraid to wake her up,” refuted Ucup.


“You're afraid to wake him up or intentionally leave him until your monster awakens?” xue Xie asked.


The sound from the commotion both made Diamond wake up. He who felt his hand touch the monster immediately pulled it while chuckling. Ucup and Xue Xie frowned, glancing at him in surprise.


“Kak Ucup, I had a dream of catching fish, then I stroked it gently and lovingly, but when I woke up, why did the fish turn so cute like this?” the word Diamond shamelessly instantly revealed the cloth covering the cute fish.


“Wah, the fish is big!” exclaiming Diamond then gripped it so anxiously.


Xue Xie who noticed him immediately fell unconscious. While Ucup just laughed amusedly at the behavior of Diamond who played with his monster.


“Adik Lian, release the fish! Pity, the fish will be dizzy,” said Ucup while pulling the hand of Diamond who grasped tightly the monster.


“Kak Ucup, why does the fish have no eyes?” asked Diamond who had been watching him.


“This fish is magical, without eyes will not get lost entering the cave,” replied Ucup while holding amused.


The diamond then releases it back and immediately covers it with a cloth. Ucup blushed to see it. 


Ucup stood up and looked around him, looking at the trees growing by the beach. However he was confused on the stages to make a boat. 


“Don't be confused! I will guide you to make it,” said Prince Xiao Li And understand Ucup's anxiety.


Ucup looked relieved, then with the guidance of Prince Xiao Li Dan, Ucup began to make it.


Ucup observes the surrounding to choose the trees that will be used as boat building materials. He then raised his hand, and with his strength mastering the wood element, he began to expend the energy he had taken from the surrounding realms.


The surrounding trees responded miraculously. The branches of the tree flexed and moved according to Ucup's wishes. In an instant, the branches began to form a powerful boat skeleton. Ucup directed every movement meticulously, ensuring that the boat he built would be able to face the challenges of a ferocious ocean.


Carefully and patiently and tenaciously, Ucup proceeded to fill the frame of the boat with the boards he had formed from the trees he had chosen. 


Each board is placed with precision, creating a sturdy and waterproof structure. When the boat was finished, the sun had sunk its rays in the western horizon, and Ucup knew that he had created a means of transportation that would help him cross the vast ocean.


“Brother Xiao, can we sail right away?” tanya Ucup was getting impatient.


“Not now. Wait until the wind changes direction,” reject Prince Xiao Li Dan.


“Hem! I can arrange it. Why should we wait tomorrow?” 


“Alright, we just wait until tomorrow morning.” Ucup looked so lazy because he had to wait. 


But shortly afterwards, he smiled. He glanced towards Diamond and Xue Xie who were standing on the edge of the boat.


“Sadik Lian! Sister Xue Xie!” call Ucup a little scream.


Both of them looked at me questioningly.


Ucup jumps on the boat and pulls his second hand, walking to the end of the boat.


“We will leave tomorrow morning,” said Ucup telling both, “but we can enjoy the beauty of nature from here.”


Xue Xie and Diamond followed the direction of Ucup's forefinger towards the setting of the sun. Both of them were so amazed to see nature so peaceful. In the sky, the stars shone glitteringly, creating a beautiful and unforgettable look. The soft sound of the waves and the night wind that hit the faces of the three brought on an atmosphere connected to the universe. 


“Kak Ucup!” Xue Xie called out to him gently.


“Iya,” reply Ucup turned her head.


“I've never had a time so wonderful as this. I'm afraid we can't feel this anymore,” he said.


“If what you are afraid of is not being able to see the beauty of nature, you just have to open your eyes to see it as you please. However, if what you are afraid of is no longer being together, then what you are afraid of is losing.”


Ucup looked up at the black sky filled with stars. He then exhaled and returned to his original position, looking at Xue Xie with his shady gaze.


“Surely you know there is a beginning and an end, there is a day and a night, there is a meeting and a farewell, there is birth and death, and so on. But that's not all we have to question. What we have to think about now is our existence in it. Do we not believe ourselves? Surely we want it, don't we? Then make ourselves as meaningful individuals.” 


Xue Xie was speechless pondering over it. His gaze shifted towards the vast ocean, re-enjoying its beauty even in the dark. On the other hand, Diamond seemed to be enduring hunger, her face a little pale. Ucup who glanced at him until scrunched his face.


“Why hold it if you are hungry, Brother Lian?” reprimand Ucup then pulled his hand into the space in the boat whose size was only enough occupied by the three of them.


“Sit down first! I will find fish for us to eat,” said Ucup who immediately passed away leaving him.


“Xue Xie, keep the diamond!” said Ucup a little yelling.


Xue Xie who was still standing at the end of the boat immediately nodded and walked into the room.


Soon, Ucup returned with a big fish and hung it on a wooden wall.


“Sabar yes, Brother Lian. I'll mix the seasoning before burning it,” said Ucup who was then embraced by Diamond.


Ucup turned his head towards Xue Xie then asked him to help him in concocting the seasoning. The release of several materials that are identical to the material known Ucup from the world of origin. Ucup also issued a firebox that he used to concoct medicine and a frying pan he made from sword metal while practicing the five elements.


“You puree ten red chili peppers, four garlic cloves, and five onion cloves, then stir-fry until cooked. Do not forget to also add a little salt,” said Ucup guide him.


Xue Xie was speechless with a look of embarrassment.


“A-I can't cook,” reply Xue Xie while lowering his face.


Ucup raised Xue Xie's chin and looked at him with a gentle gaze, then said, “No problem, I'll help you.”


Xue Xie nodded then followed everything Ucup said. Some time later, the fish was ripe and the three ate so greedily before they finally fell asleep in a full stomach.
