GHOST VILLAGE

PART 35 IS BACK HOME

Tonight, the wind is blowing faster than it was last night. For some reason, Rama's HP signal is a bit slow and Rama is difficult to send reviews of his work to his superiors because his status at HP always fails to be sent. In today's news is still dominated by news of the eruption of Mount Merapi which caused ashfall in most provinces of Yogyakarta and Central Java. Several other volcanic mountains on Java Island, such as Anak Mount Krakatau, Mount Kelud, Mount Bromo and Mount Lawu, also began to increase activity in the crater.

The cold temperature with fog covering since 21 hours, makes the atmosphere of Kampung Hantu quiet. The bright moonlight indicates that there will soon be a perfect full moon cycle in a few days. The sound of the howls of dogs, wolves and animal deer, began to decorate the atmosphere of the forest in Kampung Hantu. Insects began to appear a lot in the middle of the night.

On the 13th night of the full moon cycle, in the middle of the forest east of Kampung Hutan there is a wooden house isolated from the outside world. Residents of the house apparently live by maintaining an ancient tradition, which is to worship the full moon as a symbol of fertility and natural strength. This is seen from the amulets hanging on his doorstep.

On this night, a young boy named Dika feels uneasy and curious about the mystery that occurs every time he is enveloped by a full moon. He who has long lived in a wooden house in the middle of the forest on the East side of Kampung Hantu, still feels strange when the night begins to show the cycle of the full moon. He felt that there was a great power hidden behind the sheen of the full moon. His body was always sultry, and his heart was always pounding on the night of the full moon, making him want to always be out of the house.

Dika also take a walk in the forest to find fresh air while looking for clues about the mystery of the full moon. However, he suddenly tripped over a large rock and fell to the ground. After getting up, he felt his body ache and started to notice strange changes in him.

Dika suddenly felt his teeth grow long and his jaw shrink. He felt feathers growing all over his body, and his arms were also enlarged. His body became tall and strong. The nails of his hands also grew long and sharp.

His eyes became brightly glowing after seeing the surface of the full moon, like a common animal, and his dense eyebrows would meet in the middle. His mouth was always dry, like a thirsty man. His skin became rough and overgrown with dense fur. His ears turned taper like a dog with a bobble hanging around his neck.

Dika was very surprised by the changes in his body and felt frightened. He doesn't know what happened to him. His body shivered at the heat, and at once he tore the clothes he was wearing. The difference with the original wolf, Dika apparently does not have a tail. Dika suddenly howled loudly in the middle of the desolate forest when his change into a wolf was perfect.

The werewolf or werewolf is a mythological animal of many stories around the world.  According to some legends, he was the one who turned into a ferocious and powerful wolf. Others were a combination of human mutants and wolves. But all of them were bloodthirsty beasts that could not control the appetite to kill humans and animals.

It is unclear exactly when and where the werewolf legend originated. Some scholars believe that werewolves debuted in The Epic of Gilgamesh. This is the oldest Western prose to come to us. Gilgamesh is rejected by potential lovers because he has turned his previous partner into a wolf.

Other occurrences in Greek mythology with the Legend of Lycaon. According to Legend, Lycaon a son of Pelasgus angered the god Zeus when he presented food made from the remains of sacrificed boys. As punishment, the enraged Zeus turned Lycaon and his son into wolves.

Werewolves also appear in early Nordic folklore. Saga of the Volsungs follows a father and son who discover a wolf's skin with the power to turn humans into wolves for ten days.

The father and son duo wore feathers, turned into wolves and committed murder in the forest. Their rampage ended when the father attacked his son, causing deadly injuries. His son survived because a good-natured crow gave his father a leaf with healing powers.

Centuries ago, many were referred to as werewolves. In 1521, Frenchmen Pierre Burgot and Michel Verdun allegedly swore allegiance to the devil and claimed to have an ointment that turned them into wolves. After confessing to brutally killing several children, they were both burned to death at the stake.

There is also another Frenchman named Giles Garnier, known as the "Werewolf of Dole" who lived in the 16th century. His fame also had to do with an ointment that was able to turn people into wolves. According to legend, as a wolf he ruthlessly killed children and ate them. He was also burned to death at the stake for his crimes.

Werewolves or werewolves possess immense physical strength, such as speed and muscle strength that far exceeded ordinary humans. In addition, they also have a very sharp sense of smell, so they can smell and trace humans from a long distance.

In the werewolf form, the werewolf can also control his own mind, so as not to lose control like other beasts. On a full moon night, werewolves will transform into werewolves with greater powers and are immune to many types of weapons. They can also emit howling sounds that can frighten and shock their enemies or victims.

Another devotion attributed to werewolves is the ability to turn humans into werewolves through their bites. In some stories, a human bitten by a werewolf can undergo a change to a werewolf on the night of the full moon. However, in another story, humans would only die from werewolf bites.

However, despite having incredible strength and power, werewolves also had weaknesses. The main weakness of the werewolf was silver. A touch of silver can injure and kill a werewolf. In addition, they are also susceptible to fire attacks and certain spells.

The werewolf also moved to and fro in the forest to find prey. His stomach was very hungry, but he did not immediately find any prey that could be eaten. Until when the werewolf sniffed the smell of humans passing through the forest, the werewolf immediately approached him and pounced on him.

But fateful for the werewolf, it turns out that the human who was real in front of him, suddenly disappeared. The werewolf was confused, but the next human smell appeared again about 100 meters to his left. Immediately the werewolf turned his body, then immediately pounced on the human that was already visible in his eyes. But again, the man disappeared again. The werewolf became angry, then howled loudly as he felt being played with.

Then the human reappeared, this time exactly 300 meters in front of the werewolf.

Ki Sabrang: (sneer smile) "hahahahahaha, werewolf... It's so sorry for you. Are you very hungry? "

The werewolf howled loudly as if answering Ki Sabrang's question that he was really hungry tonight.

Ki Sabrang: "Come, follow me werewolf if you're starving. There are good prey in Kampung Hantu. You will not go hungry again. "

Then Ki Sabrang transformed himself into a fog that moved towards Kampung Hantu. The truly starving werewolf then followed the fog which turned out to be the home of Juragan Seno in Kampung Hantu.

The swift movement of werewolves following the fog finally made it to the terrace of Juragan Seno's house. Ki Sabrang also reappeared his human form after arriving at Juragan Seno's house. Then with his knowledge, Ki Sabrang immediately called Juragan Seno to come out to open the door of the house for him. Werewolf also waited for Ki Sabrang even though his body was impatient to see his prey.

Juragan Seno: (open door voice) "Welcome, Ki Sabrang. Let's enter Ki, where Ki Sabrang has been prepared inside. "

Ki Sabrang: "Hahaha, it's time for Seno to be based here. Soon my army will also come all here. As I said before, prepare more mounds than usual. "

Juragan Seno: " Ready Ki Sabrang, everything is prepared. "

Ki Sabrang: "Oh yes, please prepare the 1 cow for my werewolf friend first, otherwise he will prey on you. "

Juragan Seno: (looks nervous) "Alright KI Sabrang, there happens to be 1 cow in the backyard of the house. Let's go inside the house first. "

Ki Sabrang entered the house, followed by Juragan Seno and the werewolf. Only this time the werewolf entered the magnificent house once, then he was immediately shown by Juragan Seno the direction of the perkarangan behind him. The werewolf immediately jumped far into the back yard, then sniffed the smell of many animals kept in its cage.

Soon the werewolf headed to a cage that appeared to contain one large cow weighing 1.3 tons. The body of the cow is large and sturdy with strong legs, dark brown and slightly black fur with short and fine hair. The upper skin of a cow's body is thicker and more muscular than the lower part of her body. The cow's ears tend to be rather long and curving downwards.

Soon the werewolf pounced on the cow right around her neck. Fresh blood immediately poured profusely at the werewolf bite wound. The cow was shocked and had thrashed in pain due to the bite. But what is the power of the werewolf is greater than the power of the sapapi. Then with a single grip of both hands are very strong, the cow's neck is broken and the cow immediately does not breathe anymore. Werewolf also became free to prey on cows to satisfaction.

Juragan Seno who saw the way the werewolf preyed on his cow became horrified and frightened. He was afraid to imagine when he became a werewolf prey. While Ki Sabrang only smiled faintly at the werewolf's actions. Then Ki Sabrang asked Juragan Seno to be delivered to a room, especially in the house. They finally left the werewolves who were busy preying on cow carcasses.
