Time was almost past midnight and a drizzling rain began to fall to the earth when a flame of light from a torch was seen brightly at the mouth of a stone cave. if no one had lit the torch, it would have been impossible for anyone else to see that there was a cave there.
Although only a few eye-shocks, the torch fire light was visible before it was extinguished again, but it was enough to be a clue for dozens of people in short black clothes who flashed quickly among the dense trees in the forest. in view of its movement as fast as a flying bat indicates that the science of lightening their bodies flat quite high.
The cold night wind faintly carried a fragrance. If the source of the fragrance came from the bodies of the black-clothed newcomers, it could be assumed that they were women. I don't know how many people dressed in black concise clothes had sprung up from all over but they all moved towards the same cave and disappeared into the darkness.
Goa is in addition to being at a rather low place and protected behind a dense pepohan also has a fairly narrow entrance. the front is still four stone protrusions as big as a buffalo making this cave is almost invisible to the eyes of people even though he was nearby at broad noon though.
The hallway is only as wide as an adult hand with a height of more than one spear. is quite long and almost straight without a bend. although it can be passed by two people simultaneously but the women in black clothes and veiled the same black cloth chose to enter in sequence docked the right wall.
The one who walked the front carried a bamboo torch lighting the way. While walking his mouth kept counting every step of his feet ''Fatty-nine., fifty., fifty-one..'' right at the fifty-third count, his footsteps suddenly moved to the left side street.
''Remember, keep following my footsteps if you don't want to die the sharpest secret weapon hidden in this cave.!'' the thrill of giving a warning while continuing to walk.this time the steps look faster. everyone behind him no one dared to act rashly because he knew very well how deadly the death trap that their leader set in the cave was.
After passing a hundred steps the cave hall was split into four pieces.The guide directly chose the cave hall number two from the left followed by the others. it turned out that at the end of the secret cave hall there was a very large room that was almost thirty spears around. there, too, have been waiting for dozens of women who wear the same black clothes and veils with silver crescent embroidery.
The cave room was illuminated by nine stone torches. the eight around were the largest torches stuck on the floor somewhat to the flattened cave walls that could illuminate a large carving on a circular wall with a crescent moon and a curved short sword silvery color.from here it can be known that this cave is one of the secret headquarters of the 'Silver Moon alliance.!'
The floor of the cave under the symbol of communion engraved on the wall was a little higher.there was a long wooden table.Three women were sitting cross-legged behind the table while closing their eyes. ''Report vice chairman., out of the two hundred elected members more than half are present here. The rest will soon follow.maybe because of the distance they are far apart..''
The person who was cross-legged in the middle opened his eyes and stood followed by the two women beside him, once his eyes swept over all his subordinates before starting to speak in a loud voice. ''I., Nyi Sapta Kenanga who served as vice chairman of the Silver Moon alliance thanked all of you for your presence..''
''I'll just talk directly. We all have a debt of gratitude even life to the chairman of the 'Toxic Night Goddess' alliance. this time he needs our energy to be able to help him destroy the 'Group of 13 Assassins' who are entrenched on the island 'Thousand Can'. Even so, there is no compulsion whatsoever for you to go there. Anyone who feels doubt or fear death may resign..''
''As long as you know, that place is very dangerous because it is filled with animals and poisonous plants.Of course the most dangerous are the members of the 13 Assassins who clearly have very high magic. not to miss their 'Devil Saw Spear Force' frankly, the possibility of all of us getting out of there safely is very small..''
''Brothers and sisters, introduce my name Sartika, a member of the western region.I am a widow of a rape victim from the son of a rich merchant who is also the head of the village Citerung where I live. as a result of the incident I was expelled by the residents of my village because the head of the village of the bastard said that I was the one who seduced his son..''
''In a state of despair and humiliation I intend to commit suicide to plunge into the river. fortunately Nyi Sapta Kenanga appeared to save me and invited me to join the fellowship of the Silver Moon. although this incident has passed almost two years but everything still imprints in my memory.especially when the incident occurred, there are people who kidnapped my baby son who was only a few months old..''
''My late husband was a royal soldier who died in battle. I had heard that he was still the descendant of members of the martial family and royal nobility who were very famous in the past but I do not know clearly about it. the saying goes., say., if the debt of property can be paid then the debt of gratitude is carried to death.for life I do not want to owe anything.only the fellowship of the Silver Moon where we can take refuge and look after each other..''
''If in the raid to the island of a Thousand Can I meet death, hope the brothers and sisters can help find my son and take care of him wholeheartedly.'' said the woman named Sartika with eyes. some of his colleagues came forward to comfort him and promised to help him find his lost baby.
After that many members who also forward leave a message to their colleagues.The atmosphere turns strange but full of sadness. like the fighters who want to convey the last will to their relatives before going to the battlefield.
Nyi Sapta Kenanga just let it all happen because she herself was not sure she would make it out safely from the terrible island. that's when from outside the cave was heard several times the sound of a certain forest wolf. Nyi Sapta Kenanga smirked. ''Finally they came as well.'' hissing was relieved.
The person standing to his right flashed quickly out of the cave while grabbing the torch. not long after, he returned with five fellow Silver Moon fellows who appeared to be carrying several small teak crates.
The crates were then placed in front of Nyi Sapta Kenanga. ''Report vice-chairman., the chest containing antidotes from the concoction of Nyi Rumilah the 'Heart Tabib' is ready. some of our members went to see the chairman while carrying a medicine chest to share with the others.!'' light of one of them.
''Good, very good, fellow brothers and sisters. surely among you many are worried about the threat of poisonous animals and plants that exist on the island of Thousand Can. fortunately our chief the Goddess of the Poisonous Night had incredible ingenuity..''
''With the help of his close friend who is a great healer, we can get antidote to poison. thus there is still hope for us to be able to win in the big battle later and return safely.!'' exclaimed Nyi Sapta Kenanga who welcomed the joy of all members of the Silver Moon.
