"Rear, of course, your arrival not only tells about it, right ? ask Prahasta.

Ki Bajra then took out a black sword, from his sleeve. Pranayam who saw that was astonished, from where Ki Bajra raised the long sword. The preacher who knew it smiled and explained it to his disciple.

"One day if your knowledge is high, you will be able to unite the heirloom with your body" Prahasta told his students.

Ki Bajra then handed the sword to Prahasta. The preacher who received the sword, looked carefully and his memory returned 90 years ago.

Two young men stood in front of a gravestone, paying their last respects.

"Rear, what are we going to do now?", asked Prahasta.

"We will go down Mount Dieng, and towards sunrise" Bajra replied.

Bajra Geni and Prahasta were brothers. Then they headed east. Not without consideration this journey was made. All are the wills of his Master.

Bajra Geni, a swordsman with his flagship weapon a short-handled spear. While Prahasta has an heirloom weapon in the form of a sword with black.

Their teacher was an elder at Mandalasari Hermitage, one of the slopes of Mount Dieng. This hermitage is still related to Palarasa, because the founder is a disciple of Palarasa.

Both were adventuring to do his teacher's will to do an adventure to the east. They are tasked with eliminating all black warriors without exception.

Their lunge in the world famous martial cruel to black warriors. Likewise for the robbers, begal and other conspirators, must be afraid to hear the action of both.

Both are known as the Pair of Fire and Lightning Swordsmen. Not without reason the nickname was given, Prahasta is a swordsman with a black sword heirloom that is fed by lightning. And Bajra Geni is famous for its fire spears.

"I don't think my own grandson now has it, maybe it's fate" Prahasta said.

He received the sword from Bajra, and looked carefully at the damage to it. According to his observations it took at least 1 week to fix it.

"Rear, you have to help me burn this metal. If you only rely on the heat of charcoal, it takes 1 more full moon. With the power of your fire I think 1 week is enough" said Prahasta.

"Of course I'll help you" jawb Bajra. Then he pulled out his heirloom from under his sleeve. A short spear, which used to be his mainstay, the Fire Spear.

"Rear, what do you mean. ", asked Prahasta.

Uncompleted Prahasta's question, Ki Bajra cut it. He explained his intention to combine two heirlooms into one. Can be imagined as strong as what will be the heirloom that will be made. Prahasta told his students to get ready to perform an heirloom forging ritual.

Then Pranayam immediately rushed to prepare the ubo ramp, to start making an heirloom. Moreover, it seems that this heirloom to be made is the most powerful heirloom ever made by his Master.

The ritual of making heirlooms begins with the burning of incense, and the presentation of setamans. After all was ready, Ki Bajra with his fire power, burned the black sword until it gaped. Then Empu Prahasta forged the sword with his hammer.

Pranayam was again surprised by what his teacher did. How not, Prahasta only used his bare hands to hold the sword blade that was gaping. Repeating the forging process was done by the 2 greatest warriors of his time.

After a week, the sword forging that the two were doing had been completed. Not only the forging of the sword blade, but at night before the two old warriors, write a diagram to draw the power of the universe to be stored in it.

"Adi Prahasta, I think this sword will be the most powerful heirloom on this Kahuripan earth" said Ki Bajra.

"Hmm. This is all thanks to the leg as well. It will be more powerful if we can put prewangan into it" said Prahasta.

"Perhaps the dragon spirit sealed by the star medallion can be inserted into this sword Kakang", Prahasta again said to Ki Bajra.

Prahasta then told the hereditary secret of the Aryan family, that there is a dragon spirit that is currently still sealed in an unknown place. The seal was made by Kamajaya using seven star medals.

"You've always been like that Adi Prahasta. It was not easy to find the place where the Dragon spirit was sealed. For the time being, I have found the right apprenticeship for this sword" Ki Bajra replied.

Ki Bajra then explained that there is currently a Nyai Wardhani tribe who is currently tapa brata in Goa Selomangleng. He also told me who Wardhani really is.

"So perhaps, it is true the story of the elders in Mandalasari Hermit", Prahasta added his opinion.

They both then remembered the story of the generations in Mandalasari, that there was a Goa on top of Dieng named Goa Bride. But the story was never investigated the truth because Dieng peak was always covered in black fog.

"Then I say Adi Prahasta. You must immediately catch up with me to pass down your swordsmanship to my disciple" Ki Bajra said.

*****

The black sword was now in Gentala's hands. He hardly recognized it, except for its color. His weight has now doubled. He also did not find the identity of the star engraving on the sword.

"Today, you take a break, use it for mediocrity. Use your medal to draw energy from nature" Ki Bajra told Gentala.

Ki Bajra then asked for the sword in Gentala's hand, he would take it to sasana warabrata. He wanted the sword energy to be in harmony with the energy of the Wardhani tribe. So that when the unification later, do not experience difficulties.

Gentala who is now in Goa, immediately did the meditation. During the previous seven days, he did physical exercise and also nighttime meditations. His strength increased rapidly, but not enough to face King Denawa in the Klotok forest.

Just before Gentala started the meditation Ki Bajra appeared suddenly from the stone wall. This incident made him shocked, but after seeing the greatness of his Master several times, he could only say in his heart.

"Tomorrow what else is strange.. ", inner Gentala.

"I will lower the energy in the fire to you, once you are ready" Ki Bajra said.

Ki Bajra then explained to Gentala that the element of life most controlled by Ki Bajra is hot or fire. A gentala who has a dragon pulse, can learn all the elements of life.

Ki Bajra then wrote a fire tattoo on the star medal, so that only fire energy will enter the medal. Then the medal was held by Gentala, left hand down as a medallion and hand to close it.

Gentala used a triangular breath to draw natural energy into his body. His body began to feel warm, as slowly energy began to enter. It took a long time to make a full pulse inside his body.

Meanwhile, at the foot of the Gamping Mountain....

Precaste was now in his semiair room, he took a fairly large storage box, and took 2 pieces of scrolls. The scroll contained about the sword technique of Kamajaya heritage. Level 2 and level 3 star sword techniques.

"Pranayam, I'll go down Bajra's leg, take care of this place. Never take orders to make heirlooms." said Prahasta, warning his students.
