Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Mis Tegel 42: Mustika Dewi Kenanga

*Dark Egg Mystery (Tegel's Wife)*

 

“So our goal came here to ask for the Dark Egg which he said was on himself Abang Ayu, Grandpa's beloved monkey,” said Alma Fatara after telling the basic things that made Alma and his entourage come all the way to the river beside Alas Kutu.

Across the river was indeed a dense forest on the northern slope of Mount Reason.

“Hehehe! Ayu's brother died five years ago,” replied the Wheel Stick Swordsman who was preceded by his piety.

“What?! Dead already?!” call Alma Fatara and some of her abdinya compact because so surprised.

“If so, no Dark Egg, means we have to accept the fact that Grandpa Rereng Foam is dead. Our task now is to go to the Golden Moon Academy to save the remaining Black Finger Institution disciples. If all of them have already died, our short souls have spoken, Gods and Demons bear witness to our struggle!” alma Fatara exclaimed to his troops like a leader.

“Life Demon Queen!” yelled Anjengan welcoming the fiery cry of Alma.

“Life Demon Queen!” shouted all members of the Jagad Handheld Army.

“Hahaha! So excited!” comments Swordsman Stick Wheel.

“But, before we go to Bukit Tujuh Kepala, we want to know, why Wulan Kencana wants the Dark Egg so badly as to poison, take hostage, maybe kill his own ex-lover. Grandfather Stick Wheel definitely has the answer,” said Alma.

“Yes, I have the answer. However, I can only tell it to you, Gusti Queen. Let them make a place to spend the night, Gusti Ratu can come with me to talk in my palace,” said Pendekar Tongkat Roda.

“Compense all of you!” alma Fatara's orders to his troops.

“Good, Gusti Queen!” say they are obedient and compact.

“You don't have to follow me, Black Mbah!” the Alma Fatara Order.

“Good, Wrestling Queen,” Reply Mbah Hitam.

The Wheel Stick Swordsman then flashed into the river and ran on the surface of the river water. Alma Fatara followed. He also ran lightly on the river's surface. The two headed to the stage hut in the middle of the river.

“With a very young age, Wrestling Queen could keep the Black Ball in hand until now,” said Swordsman Roda after they both landed on the front porch of the hut.

“My teacher has believed that I can keep the Black Ball from dirty hands and hearts,” Alma said.

The slap!

The hut that was originally pitch-black, suddenly glowed a bright yellow. The light was sourced from every bamboo that became the basic material of the hut.

When viewed from the riverbank, the hut looks so beautiful, especially the water reflects its light like gold.

The Wheel Stick Swordsman treated Alma Fatara like a real queen. Alma Fatara was given a pillow for seating. After honoring like a servant, the bald grandfather then sat cross-legged in front of Alma in a respectful manner.

“Tell me, Cake!” the Alma Fatara Order.

“It means Dark Egg which is Mustika Goddess Kenanga it has a very terrible privilege? And Grandpa once told it to Wulan Kencana, but not to Grandpa Rereng Foam and Grandma Balito Duo Lido?” terka Alma who is indeed a smart girl.

“Truly guessed, Gusti Ratu. I told the secret of Dark Egg to Wulan Kencana when she became my lover, but I did not tell her about Mustika Dewi Kenanga. As for Rereng Foam and Balito, I only ever told that the disease in the neck of Abang Ayu is called Dark Egg. However, I don't know if the Foam Slope doesn't know about the Dark Egg. Maybe he forgot or didn't listen to what I said. I once told Wulan Kencana, Dark Eggs can make a person will not die, as long as Dark Eggs reside in his heart. And if the person has the Divine Needle belonging to the father of Dewi Kenanga, then the person can inherit a hundred magic heirloom weapons that are Mustika materials. However, when I told her the secret, Wulan Kencana thought I was joking ...”

“Why?” ask Alma cut in.

“Even if you have a Dark Egg in the heart, the way to kill it is clear by taking the Dark Egg from the heart. He thinks it's nothing special. And according to him, it is impossible if the Syndical Needles belonging to people who died hundreds of years ago still exist today. Moreover, it was a needle, not a sword or spear that was physically larger. So, having a Dark Egg and a Devotional Needle by one person was an impossible matter. So I also will not know the reason Wulan Kencana wants Dark Eggs,” said Swordsman Roda.

“This story is very interesting. Luckily, only Grandpa and Wulan Kencana knew the story. If this story were to spread among warriors, surely you would be the hunt of the martial world, Kek,” said Alma.

“True, Gusti Ratu.”

“But I'm sure, Cake. I came here not in vain. Tomorrow I leave, of course with the Dark Egg. Hahaha!” alma Fatara said, laughing.

Alma's confidence made the Wheel Stick Swordsman smile thinly, as if confirming the words of the black-robed girl.

“Because the Dark Egg is actually Mustika Dewi Kenanga, so, even though Abang Ayu has fused with the ground, the Dark Egg remains intact as a mustika. Since it belongs to Grandpa, I won't force having to get it. If Grandpa Roda does not give it, then I will still go to try to save Grandpa Rereng Foam. But I am sure, Grandpa Tongkat Roda still has a heart, at least Grandpa looks at Grandpa Rereng Foam as a friend, not a competitor of love in youth,” said Alma.

“Hahaha! Gusti Ratu is indeed smart,” praise Swordsman Roda after laughing low. “Besok morning I will bring Gusti Ratu to the tomb of Abang Ayu and give Mustika Dewi Kenanga to redeem the Slope of Foam.”

“Grandmother Balito went directly to help Grandpa Rereng Foam. Why didn't Grandpa Roda go alone carrying the mustika?” ask Alma.

“I know very well the character of Wulan Kencana. My arrival to help or persuade Wulan Kencana will only be free. My presence can make things worse. Perhaps the man she hated the most to date is still me, Gusti Queen. I will entrust the Mustika Dewi Kenanga to Gusti Ratu. If Gusti Ratu wants that mustika after solving the problem at the Golden Moon College, I'll miss. I am very confident that Gusti Ratu will become queen in the white faction,” said Swordsman Roda.

“Hahaha! Heirloom doesn't guarantee a person's life will be safe forever, Cake. Black Ball to me is enough,” said Alma Fatara. “If it can, Mustika Dewi Kenanga will still I return it to you.”

“I am very happy to know that the white people of the martial world now have a high-strength Demon Queen, the successor of the Throneless King,” said Pendekar Tongkat Roda.

“If Grandpa Roda wants the truth to succeed, why not be my brother and help me build a great power in this vast world? Being a part of the Jagad Handheld Army will not harm you, but it will lift you to a high degree,” bargained Alma Fatara.

“Hamba Swordsman Stick Wheel, with complete willingness, sworn allegiance to be the servant Gusti Queen of Demon, Goddess of Two Teeth!” said Pendekar Unloading Wheel loudly while prostrating in front of Alma Fatara.

The decision of the Wheel Stick Pendear was enough to make Alma gasp.

“Why is it so easy for you to accept my offer, Cake?” alma Fatara asked, not yet receiving the grandfather's oath of allegiance.

“Ki Ramu Bile has told me a lot about Gusti Ratu. With the Spirit Angler and the Prince of the Flirtatious Beetle as the teacher of the Queen Gusti, it greatly strengthened the position of the Queen Gusti in the martial world. Plus Gusti Ratu holds the Black Ball and has a high sense of concern for fellow warriors who are weak,” replied Swordsman Roda quite complete.

“Alright, Wheel Stick Swordsman. I swear to you as my brother. Wakeup!” alma commands with an authoritative attitude and tone of voice.

The Wheel Stick Swordsman immediately got up to sit back.

“My first commandment to you is to make a college stick to build the Jagad Handheld Army. A year later, I want to see results. The Blue Crow Demon has already become my abdication. Work with him to build a Jagad Handheld Army power base here. Later I will talk to Dato Jari Sambilan about this, because we are in the territory of the Red Knives College.”

“Good, Gusti Queen. (BH)
