Angus Poloso - Legend of Ki Ageng Selo.

Horror 32 – (Test III) Charm Queen of the Kingdom of Marwapati - Muspitasari.

[POW's Mom]

I followed wherever Queen Dedemit took me. I could do nothing to free myself, not even to recite prayers I could not. I believe that the handcuffs he placed on my hands made me forget the verses of the Qur’an. Ella who was beside me just fell silent, not wanting to say anything to me.

The demit queen I did not know her name took me until she came to a tree so big and tall. There a magical door suddenly opened, and we all entered the place. There we found a slightly different view of the magical village. Now the scene turned into a huge kingdom, which was already lined with thousands of troops waiting for their queen's arrival at the gate.

We walked past every hunching troop paying homage to their queen. And at the end of this journey, there was a hunchback, a look and a face full of disgusting ulcers and pus, and he was wearing a black wooden stick while pointing his smile at us.

“Welcome Her Majesty the Queen,” said the man full of ulcers. “I hope your trip goes well,”

Demit queen out of her dating train, “Ah, Ki Bradjamana, nice to meet you. Why did you come to face me with your shadow body, not your real body? Do you intend to insult me?”

“Amkun, His Holiness Muspitasari.. I do not mean that, but there is an important problem that I must immediately solve using my original body,” replied Ki Bradjamana while bowing, Bending down, in front of the queen.

Arriving at the palace, we both got a very nice and unusually friendly reception from the people of Malwapati palace. They provided us with food, bedding, magnificent clothes, etc. However, something told me not to touch or eat the food and drink.

I don't know why, but my strength was less and less as I remained silent in that palace, making me feel a bit awkward, as if my strength was being sucked by this Demit palace itself.

“Ella... Whatever happens, and I don't know what the queen of Muspitasari will love, never accept it,” I said slightly advising Ella who was lying next to me. “I feel that something is being planned by the demit queen.”

“I don't know anymore, brother. Just lost eight of my friends in the village. Now I must find that Nanda must be the wife of one of the demits here too, I feel every bad event always and always befalls the people around me,”, he replied, who sounded gloomy.

“You don't have to worry, Ella. We'll get out of this place and save your good friend!” I said enthusiastically to cheer him up a little.

In such circumstances, suddenly came two maid girls who came to our room both. They both said that Queen Muspitasari was looking forward to our presence. Having no other choice, we followed where the two servants would take us.

Arriving in the throne room, the two servants bowed 90 degrees, but we were not willing to do so. Quickly, one of his troops immediately forced me to bow before Queen Muspitasari by kicking both elbows.

“If you are in front of the Queen, you must bow down, salute her. Understand?” sniped one of those troops.

The two of us just kept quiet, not caring what the troops were trying to say. Feeling a little strange about our behavior, Queen Muspitasari stepped down from the throne and walked up to us.

“You're really interesting, young man. Usually every man who sees me will instantly fall in love with my beauty and elegance, but different from you. Is my beauty and elegance less attractive in your eyes?” she said that while caressing both of my cheeks gently and seductively. “You should be lucky because I want a man like you to be my husband. Besides, you don't have anyone special in your heart, do you?”

“Sorry for the sassness. However, you are a genie and we are human. It should not be creatures whose castles are under us, to tie each other's covenants in the ropes of marriage.” My answer is not at all tempted by the seduction of the demit queen. “You'd better repent soon and or you'll get karma for what you did.”

Queen Muspitasari then laughed out loud at my words just now. I already know who the queen really is from the book that Restu gave me.

Queen Muspitasari was one of the royal concubines of Singosari who wanted Singosari's destruction as revenge. He studied with a demon named Sakralana, so he had to sacrifice his soul and body to unite with that demon, and this is how it became.

“You are really interesting, man,” said Queen Muspitasari as she surrounded me while defending me with her tender hands. “Your words just now really made me more interested in you. And I always get what I want,”

[Febay POV]

After the black fog pounced on us, I arrived at a beautiful lake and there were seven waterfalls on each side. Not knowing what I would do, I was fiddled through the beautiful lake region and until I found the existence of Siti, Agung, Wulan, and Cici who were lying on the edge of the lake.

After I shook them and I shouted near their ears, they all came to their senses.

“Woy, wake up, Woy..!” I snatched at them.

“Feby? What are you doing here?” tanya Agung who just realized it while yawning. “And I was having a good dream to meet my soul mate,”

I'm a little upset, “Woy, wake up! We're lost!!”

They all woke up hearing the word ‘tersat’ I said. After they investigated the conditions around them, they also believed that they were being misled by the inhabitants of Plesiran Londo village.

“Jeez, right you said, Feb! We're misled,”

“I told you from earlier. You are the ones sleeping by the lake. Duh!”

Siti holding her chin, “Btw, Miss Feby, how long have we fainted?”

“Ah, I don't know either. I woke up an hour before you. And once I opened my eyes, I was already on the edge of this beautiful lake,” obviously me who also did not know.

Suddenly, Cici and Wulan nodded while pointing towards the front. “Kak Feb, look.. There is someone in front who is again playing a flute on a rock!”

We all looked in the direction they were pointing. And it turned out to be true. There was a man who was playing his flute melodiously on the rock while he was cross-legged. With a slight feeling of fear, I tried to approach the person, followed by Siti then Agung, and the rest.

“Anu. Who are you?” I'm afraid I'm beginning to see that guy.

Hearing my greeting, the man opened his eyes. He looked at us with a smile, like a dead man, not to forget he gave a smile that felt so cold.

“Nisa's own who?” he asked back. “Why are humans like you here? Though it has been more than six hundred years no one has been here?”

“We are lost here.. more precisely misled by residents here,” answered me who still doubt whether he is a good figure or vice versa. “Do you know how to get out of this place?”

The man closed his eyes again, like he was thinking about something. Whether it was thinking of a way to help us, or to kill us all?

“My name is Anggoro Aji.” The answer is still to close your eyes. “I am one of the top brass in Singosari kingdom. I'm here because I'm doing a thousand-year hermitage,”

We let him be quiet for a moment. Not long after, he opened his eyes again.

“Ah, there is no way to get out of here, Nisanak. Except for the blessing of Queen Muspitasari herself.” He said full of hospitality.

“Queen Muspitasari? Who is he?” tanya Agung broke into our chat. “Is he the same as you?”

“We'd better meet soon Queen demit..” Cici's hasty advice. “If he does not want to, we should destroy his palace with lafadz-lafadz Al-Qur’an,”

“It's not that easy, Nisanak! Ahh... It turns out you are Muslims, huh? In my adventure, I also had time to meet and learn from Muslim traders like you, but what I know is. Satan can not be resisted with lafadz-lafadz Al-Qur’an it, if in your body there are still dirty properties like a grain of dzarahpun.”

“Then, what should we do?” ask Wulan who was already starting to despair.

“...Actually I don't know how to beat him, Nisanak. But, a guardian came to see me about a hundred and forty years ago. He continued to brag about the contents inside the small chest which outside was written Arabic, which means ‘There is no God Besides Him, And Muhammad is His Messenger’. If it is not wrong, the kyai is named Marwan bin Muhammad bin Ibrahim,” Anggoro Aji replied while trying to remember the events of the past. “He said in the little coffin, a relic that could destroy the devil for forty years. Yes, even though I don't believe his words at all.”

“Marwan bin Muhammad?” i'm thinking. “Not it is the ancestor of Umam's brother, who is referred to as Ki Ageng Selo.”

“Then, do you know where Kyai Marwan hid the crate?” tanya Siti stared flatly at Anggoro Aji.

“According to his explanation, the small chest he placed under the navel of the palace of Queen Muspitasari,” Anggoro Aji replied guessing. “...And only the person who has the bloodline of the kyai is able to find it.”

“Gosh... That means only Umam's brother can find him!” I was surprised to hear that. “But... Right now we are all separated from each other,”.

“Hm... I know where you can find it. Now he is in the palace of Marwapati. The demit queen is trying to make the young man you call Umam to be her lover,”, Anggoro Aji said. “You better get there and save him. He's the only way so you can all survive.”

“Then how can we overcome the troops of the demit queen?” ask Cici worriedly.

“Ah, that's easy. Use this krisku to face his troops,” Anggoro Aji replied while handing me a kris. “This Silk Dragon Warrior is able to destroy every army of that demit queen. However, this will not work against the queen Muspitasari. You must find a way to save the young man!”

After understanding, we immediately went to the east to find the existence of the Marwapati palace.

[Andre POV]

Every time, my heart kept pounding strongly while with Mela. Somehow I could suddenly fall in love with her, but I knew that it would just be an empty love, because there was no way that Mela would love me.

Before long we stepped, we had already arrived at a rickety house that was in the middle of the swamp. Perhaps people here often refer to it as a magical swamp.

“Ndre, for now..we should split up first huh?” pinta Mela with her cute voice. “I want to find firewood and the necessary materials to rest here. Tomorrow we can continue the journey to find others!”

“Ah, it's up to you, Mela. I am no longer strong walking,” I replied lethargic and tired.

“OK, I'll be right back, and be careful when I'm in this place!”

Mela soon passed, going down the bushes at the end of the swamp. While I was just sitting languidly on one of the rocks while complaining about fate.

In such a situation, suddenly from inside the rickety house came out an old man, had a face so terrible, his face full of ulcers and pus, horrifying me for a moment. However, in addition, his voice was so soft and coaxing.

“Hai, young man... You like the girl, ‘kan?” it's somehow she can read my heart. “Yes, I can read your heart. The human feeling is very easy to read. Hehehe...!”

I immediately stood by. Get ready if the old man suddenly attacks. “Who are you? What do you want from me?”

The old man smiled cunningly at me. “I? I don't want anything in this world, young man. I'm just a good-natured grandfather who wants to help you get love from that girl..In fact, you will also be able to get her beautiful body, if you want?”.

“What do you mean it, old man?” I asked to look into the old grandfather's hidden intentions. “Do you think I'm a pathetic jones and don't even dare to express his feelings?

The old man laughed, “Hahaha. Now you accept it or not. This potion of pellets will make you get his love, even he will be ready to die just for you!”

The old man without waiting for my approval immediately handed me a small black bottle. He told me to drip the liquid in this bottle into Mela's drink tonight.

Before I asked about the risks, I could no longer find the old man anywhere. I was still thinking about whether I should use this pellet potion or not, because Mela is the lover of Brother Umam, and they are both quite good to me.

It did not last long, Mela also came while carrying firewood and also some fruit that she picked around here. First of all I hesitated to eat it because the fruits came from the supernatural world, but Mela said, this fruit comes from the real world trapped in the occult world, it's fine if eaten.

[POW's Mom]

“How was my offer, young man? You want to accept my proposal or not, hm?” ask Queen Muspitasari to me. He's a little pushy. “If you accept it, I promise to give you everything you hope for in this world, then your friends will I finish first before you so that you feel a bitter sense of loss, before you die.”

“Laa Ilaha Illallah, No God But Allah SWT. I won't be eaten up by a genie trick like you, Queen Nyi. It is clear that sexual relations between jinn and humans are strictly prohibited, not only in terms of religion, but customs and other norms,”, I answer firmly to my stance. “Sorry, I can't accept your application. Besides, I already have someone I like, and I will continue to hold onto that.”

Hearing my answer just now, Queen Muspitasari immediately growled, the sound of her molar teeth chirping sounded strong in my ears.

“Teams! Quickly find these men's friends..and bring them here to be beheaded!”.

The deg! I was shocked and worried to hear it. I don't know if my friends can be found easily by the troops of Queen Muspitasari or not, but I have to do something to prevent it.

Quickly, the Queen put me and Ella into a giant bubble that kept us locked up and out, except with permission from Queen Muspitasari herself.

Not long after, all my friends could be found easily and brought before the Demit Queen. Everyone was there, except Andre and Mela. Somehow the two of them could not be found by the forces of Queen Muspitasari.

“Ah, so they're all your friends, lads? They all look delicious and delicious if eaten,” exclaimed Queen Muspitasari trying to provoke you. I know that he won't be able to hurt me, because I'm a descendant of Kyai Marwan. “How after they all beheaded, their meat I burn and we celebrate with a massive party.”

“Kak Umam...” the voice calls from them echo in my ears. “Please us, sis... we know a way to defeat that demit queen!”

I wasn't going to be unhelpful or anything, but I was also locked up and couldn't get out, while Ella just raved indistinctly.

We were all taken to the palace grounds, where all the people of the kingdom of Marwapati were. And there I will witness the beheading that will be carried out by the executioners who are ready to behead my friends,
