Alma's Journey Looking for a Mother

Flashback 6: The King's Throneless Brother

“Stop battle!” cucum Mili shouted to his men.

“Stop the battle! Munduuur!” shouts Demang Banuseta to his troops.

Two armies, the pirate army and the Kademangan Telubotak army, which had already been hit, had even wounded each other with weapons, immediately stopped their battle. Each of the troops moved back with an expression that was still tense.

Now, Cucum Mili as the Chief of the Stone Crab Pirates and Sugang Laksama who nicknamed the Swordsman Dedemit, faced with Wiwi Kunai, a woman dressed as a fish fisherman. Behind Wiwi Kunai's back stands Alma Fatara, the number one fugitive for Cucum Mili and Sugang Laksama.

Unwilling to be distracted by the noise of the battle that had just taken place, Cucum Mili and Sugang Laksama decided to stop the battle in order to focus their attention on Wiwi Kunai, the magician they were about to face.

“The Queen of Crabs and Swordsman Dedemit fought over my foster son. What was? What do you want to do to Alma?” ask Wiwi Kunai.

“The child has brought our heirloom!” answer Cucum Mili.

“Our?” a reword by Wiwi Kunai. “What heirloom?”

“Black Ball,” replied Sugang Laksama more smooth.

“Isn't that an heirloom of a Throneless King?” ask Wiwi Kunai.

“True. But the Throneless King is dead,” Kilah Cucum Mili.

“Is one thing that the owner is dead then can be owned by anyone?” ask Wiwi Kunai.

Cucum Mili and Sugang Laksama.

“Sugang Laksama still has a relative relationship with the King Without Throne!” a young man who has just appeared. The young man was none other than the Forced Jura.

“Then you, Cucum Mili?” ask Wiwi Kunai.

“I am the sister-in-law of the Throneless King,” replied Cucum Mili proudly.

“Oh, I just found out. Did you know the King Without the Throne was killed by whom, the Queen of Crabs?”

“I know, poisoned by my brother!” cucum Mili could not lie, because the cause of her brother's death had become public consumption and had gone viral in the martial world.

“When you are Sugang Laksama, you are the son of King Manggala Pasa. Your father is the foster brother of the Throneless King!” wiwi Kunai.

Surprised Cucum Mili and his group find out that Sugang Laksama is actually a prince. Cucum Mili never knew that the Swordsman Dedemit was a prince. He immediately thought about his plan which forced Sugang Laksama to get married.

“If I marry Sugang, it means I will deal with the Singayam Royal family,” he thought.

“So you have no direct blood ties with the Throneless King. Stop trying to have things that are not your right. It should be the Black Ball that belongs to the Prince Without a Title, the eldest son of the Throneless King,”, said Wiwi Kunai.

“Chairman! Just give the girl a lesson!” shouted a pirate.

“Lack of courtesy!” maki Cucum Mili to his men.

“Lack of courtesy!” maki all pirates to their friends who can only frown.

“If the leader is talking high level, do not interrupt!” the Omelette Cucum Mili.

“Look it, Spirit Anglers, it is better to hand over the Black Ball then we will not disturb the child or you,” said Sugang Laksama.

“By your fish tail, Sugang! You know who the Spirit Angler is?” ask Wiwi Kunai.

“You are a famous female swordsman and armed with a magic hook,” replied Sugang Laksama.

“What?” shock Cucum Mili, Sugang Laksama and Jura Forced.

“If it's a matter of feisty, I'm the one most entitled to have the Black Ball than you, but I don't have the slightest desire to have that heirloom. I am thankful for the weapons I have. Both of you should be grateful for what you have. Remember, your death was not determined by a magic weapon, proof that my brother died poisoned by his own wife!” wiwi Kunai said giving a short speech.

Quietly Cucum Mili and Sugang Laksama heard the advice of Wiwi Kunai.

“But if you guys still insist, I'll show you where the heirloom I threw away!” wiwi Kunai said again.

“Where?” tanya Cucum Mili and Sugang Laksama fast.

“On the river where I used to fish,” replied Wiwi Kunai.

“I know where this lady fished, yesterday I had time to question her, but she lied to me!” jura Forksa.

“You must be lying, Spirit Angler!” cucum Mili.

“The heirloom can you feel its existence because it has high magic. You can prove it whether I lied or not,” said Wiwi Kunai.

“Come everything! We dive along the river!” yell Cucum Mili.

“Hua hua hua!” shouted the spirit pirates, then flocked to go towards the river.

“Wait wait wait!” yelled Ki Lumoh Suwi who came running against Cucum Mili. “You promised to pay for dinner and lodging, Crab Queen!”

“Aaah, trouble only!” rutuk Cucum Mili. “Sugang, aren't you a prince?”

“Indeed!” Sugang Laksama actually called Demang Banuseta.

Demang Banuseta immediately came to face.

“Hamba, Gusti!” said Demang Banuseta facing Sugang Laksama.

“You are responsible for our dining and lodging costs to Ki Lumoh!” the Sugang Laksama.

“Good, Gusti.”

Then it is finished with the cost of eating and lodging more than thirty people in Bulukubi Village.

With the Forced Turtle as a waypoint, the group of Stone Crab Pirates flocked to where Wiwi Kunai used to fish.

They left Wiwi Kunai and Alma.

“Continue selling your fish!” wiwi Kunai's orders to Alma.

“Ready, Bi!” alma said with a smile. He was relieved, which means he was freed from the pirates.

Last night, Alma made a tough decision.

“Bi, after I thought about it, it is better for this Black Ball I leave it to Aunt to be saved. Later if I have worshiped, then I ask again,” said Alma while thrusting her hand holding the Black Ball, a bright blue object that is box-shaped.

“I don't want to keep it in my residence, because I don't want any magical people coming to my place just to look for this thing,” said Wiwi Kunai while taking the Black Ball from Alma's hands.

The next day, when it was still dawn and dark, armed with torch lighting, Wiwi Kunai and Alma Fatara went to the riverbank. Alma fishing. While Wiwi Kunai did something.

“This is called the Blood Thread of Gods. This thread would not be broken by a sword of any sharpness. This Black Ball I will tie with the Blood Thread of God. Then I drowned the Black Ball at the point where the river was most difficult to dive and its position was hidden in the mud of the river. I'll tie the end of the thread in a wooden stake that I stick to the bottom. Then the Black Ball will be awake at the bottom of the river for many years,” said Wiwi explained to Alma. (BH)
