Dragon Star Dahanapura

Episode 18 Klotok Hill

"Gentala, my name is Gentala", he replied with a thumping heart.

They decided to continue their journey together to cross the Brantas river. Shortly after, they arrived at the crossing and rode the bushy together. No conversation took place during the trip.

Gentala's mouth was locked, unable to speak. Kirana, too, still feels guilty for what she did the other day. Even for communication with the guard of gethek, carried out by Orange.

Wardhani seduced Gentala, with verses he had heard from Gentala.

"I don't think you're so cowardly Gentala, hi hi hi hi hi. ", ' Wardhani sneered.

"What do you mean Nyai?", asked Gentala pretending not to know.

Though he knew very well, Wardhani was mocking him because he did not dare to speak to Kirana.

"I. i.... ", Kirana looked shocked and nervous as she stood behind Gentala.

"Sorry.., I don't mean anything, thank you", Kirana continued her sentence in a flat tone.

"Oh, yes", that's all that came out of Gentala's mouth, he didn't know what else to talk to Kirana about.

The four disciple girls from Kirana laughed softly, seeing that everything could be made clumsy by a young man, whom he had just met.

A moment later the little bushy they were riding on had reached the other side. Kirana and her disciple, directly left that place. Only Orange had the chance to say goodbye and thank Gentala.

"Thank you Kakang, you saved us, don't forget to visit us, bring this medal while there" said Jingga.

Then Orange gave Gentala a badge of identification of the elder padepokan. The badge was made of star-shaped wood, one of the corners was hollow, as a place for a rope hanger with purple.

Gentala received the badge, and promised to go to Bukit Bintang if his business was done. When the distance between them reached the five spears, Gentala suddenly shouted "Kirana ...!!!, wait for me at the Bukit Bintang.... "

Kirana did not answer, nor did she turn her head, but clearly engraved a smile on her face upon hearing Gentala's cry. The four Kirana disciples simultaneously turned their heads and waved at the Gentala wine. Different things are felt by Gentala, she really hopes Kirana turns to look at him, or at least reply with a hand gesture.

Gentala again climbed the back of the Bonggol, spurring him towards Klotok Hill. His heart looked troubled, he was afraid of the sense that in nature was clapping one hand. He was silent not to talk at all, until finally he re-entered the forest area of Klotok Hill.

Before continuing his journey, he saw in the distance, the slopes of Klotok were visible. Gentala seemed to take a deep breath, considering his father's story, that Klotok Hill also harbors dangers that cannot be underestimated.

Klotok comes from the word Kolothok, kolo which means danger, while thok has many meanings. So that Klotok Hill is a Hill that is full of danger. But Gentala's father, did not tell him what danger was contained in it.

"Well, what happened to you, just so quiet, are you still thinking about your heart" asked Wardhani.

"Yes Nyai, for some reason only a little while I have felt long" replied Gentala lirih.

As if he had lost his spirit of life, he walked towards the hillside leading his horse. Seeing this, Wardhani could only hide in the star medallion, continuing the meditation. It requires considerable energy to keep its tribe intact.

Before doing meditation he advised Gentala, so as not to forget the purpose of coming to this Hill.

"Gentala, remember Kirana is waiting for you at Bukit Bintang, practice here, I will do meditation for a long time. I can't help you in meditation, or my tribe will get hurt" Wardhani said.

For the sake of hearing Kirana was waiting for him, making Gentala become spirit again and now he continues the journey on foot.

Step by step he passed, until he went to the hillside. The tree was getting busier, Gentala slashed a sword to open the way to the top of the hill. Not feeling the twilight began to disappear into the night, Gentala stopped his steps when he found the source of water.

After the fire started, he cleaned himself up at the water source and changed his clothes. His stomach began to sing, because since he left the inn, he had not eaten at all. Then he hunted around the water source, with the help of moonlight lighting.

Lucky under the banyan tree, next to the source there was a sleeping deer. Gentala settles and when the distance of one spear, he unsheathes his sword and throws it towards the rabbit.

Whuussh....!!! jleb... !!! throw his sword at the deer's body. Gentala finally got to have dinner tonight. After the meal he planned to meditate using a star medal, but he canceled, recalled Wardhani who was currently meditating inside the stone.

Until finally Gentala decided to just sleep tonight. Not even his eyes closed, the piercing cold felt piercing the body. He did not know, the white mist descending enveloped the water source, causing his body to shiver.

Then he got up and took a cross-legged position, approaching the fireplace that was almost extinguished. The life energy in his body was swirled, flowing through the entire pulse in his body. A warm feeling again enveloped his body.

The source of Lo churns, ripples of water waves created from the depth of the source. Gentala regained his senses and approached the explosion of water that was accompanied by the appearance of purple smoke from the water. Shortly after, the explosion stopped.

At the base of the source, a shimmering purple light appeared. Gentala quickly took off his clothes, and threw himself to the bottom of the source.

Byur... !!!

The basis of that source, it turned out not to be deep, just as tall as an adult's chest. Then he dived to see the origin of the light. The light turned out to be coming from a stone the size of his fist.

The Purple Vein Mustika, Gentala recognized the stone, because his father also had the stone. It's just that it's the size of a fingernail tip and its energy is much smaller than what Gentala found.

Then he took the mustika, and brought it near the fireplace. Strange, after taking the mustika wungu amethyst the atmosphere around was not as cold as before. No animals at night make a sound.

Sensing the strangeness, Gentala undoes his intention to absorb the mustika in his hand. He asked Wardhani.

After drying his lower clothes, he continued his delayed sleep.

"It seems that the boy has come" said an old man wearing all black. The figure then flew down Klotok hill and stopped on one of the tree branches.

His eyes closed and he took a breath and held it, while his mouth was about to cast a spell.

Sir cahyaning taste....

Mutmaya tejaning maya's...

That inner eye-opening spell he read, to see the existence of the Star Medal. Within five miles, he saw the medal and rushed in that direction. The goal was not to immediately meet the medal bearer, but rather a sinister figure visible to his inner eyes.

The big tall figure he saw was Butho Bakasura, a giant Klotok forest dweller who likes to eat humans. There had been many humans eaten by him upon entering that forest territory.

The owner of the inner eye does not usually interfere with Bakasura's affairs, but because the person being targeted is a star medal holder, then he must intervene like a whisperer he receives.

The old man darted quickly, towards Bakasura being, just as a cold mist was hitting Gentala's body. The cold mist is a sirep study issued by Bakasura. Bakasura who was about to eat Genta's body, was surprised by the arrival of the old man.

Bakasura knew very well, who the old man was. He was a Hermit who lived in Klotok Hill, and all the inhabitants of the area no one dared to disturb him. Bajra Geni, the great hermit who has long since withdrawn from worldly affairs. But now suddenly down the mountain, interfere with Bakasura's affairs.

"Bakasura, leave the boy" said Bajra Geni. Bakasura was shocked to hear his words, and inevitably had to leave the prey he was about to eat.

Bajra Geni then neutralizes the study of sirep issued by Bakasura. Then he opened the veil cover at Sumber Lo. Rajah Pangurung deliberately he installed to cover a mustika in the water source.
