Jaka Umbara; The Wind Warrior

The beginning of the dispute Ledonggowo and Nyai Gendhis

The sound of horseshoes pulling a dock was clear and speeding quite fast on the path that split a long, uninhabited street. His voice could even be heard from a distance of dozens of meters. Segara Jati who became the coachman of the dockar held a bridle to lead two horses that pulled the dock he was controlling. He sat down in front and led his two horses to where he had been.

"Country, how long are we gonna be?" ask someone from the direction in the Dokar covered by a curtain cloth. It was the voice of Nyai Gendhis who asked Segara Jati to be the guide to meet Ledonggowo somewhere.

"In a moment, Nyai," Segara Jati replied, looking at the path in front of him. "we will find out who Nyai is? Can I find out who that is?" ask Immediately Jati wants to know.

"You pay enough attention to the streets. You don't have to take care of who we're gonna meet."

"Okay, Nyai!" Segara Jati replied with a lip on his face because Nyai Gendhis did not tell them who they were going to meet. He even became a coachman on the orders of Mungsiya suddenly, not because of his wishes. Actually, he wanted to refuse if he could. However, because he respected the leadership of Mungsiya, then, he decided to accept it.

A dozen minutes later, the dock controlled by Sembara Jati finally arrived at a place that became the destination of Nyai Gendhis meeting with Ledonggowo. The place was not a populated area, but was just a crossroads overgrown with several large trees on some side of the road.

Sure enough, when Segara Jati stopped the pace of his dock, he saw someone who had been waiting for his arrival. The man sat alone on his horse. That person was none other than Ledonggowo. Segara Jati kept his dock a little far from Ledonggowo's horse position at the direction of Nyai Gendhis, about fifty meters from Ledonggowo's position.

"Heyai, we have reached our meeting place," said Segara Jati while facing the curtain cloth that is still closed. Shortly thereafter, Nyai Gendhis and his daughter, Sekarwati, left the dock.

"You stay here until I get back, don't go anywhere!" nyai Gendhis commands when setting both feet on the ground.

"Alright, Nyai!"

Nyai Gendhis immediately walked slowly followed by Sekarwati behind him. After Nyai Gendhis and Sekarwati were near Ledonggowo, Ledonggowo got off on his horse.

"Hey, why do you want to see me? I don't have too much time to have any meetings right now" Ledonggowo said in a slightly agitated tone.

"There's something really important we need to talk about. It's about our job in dealing with that little girl."

"What is so important to us to talk about? Just tell me the point!"

"Why do you look so rushed?"

"That's it, just tell me what the point is! Don't divert our conversation! I told you, I don't have much time for this."

"Are you still waiting for your girl to wake up? Don't you like any other girl besides her? Aren't there many other girls who are more beautiful than her? I'm sure with that look of yours, there will be a lot of girls who like you. After all, he would not necessarily be able to wake up again, unless his life's luck was big enough."

"Don't reproach him!" sergeant Ledonggowo was angry. "Ambarwati is not that weak!" firmly Ledonggowo so that Nyai Gendhis rectifies his words just now. "he will definitely wake up again soon. I'm sure it is."

"All right, it's up to you! So, how did you get the results? Do you know where he is at the moment? I don't care about your feud with Lembing Wuluh. But our job is to catch the girl. If it affects our duty and you can't get any results, you better back off, I'll still be able to catch him along with my daughter, Sekar."

"I'm sure I'll manage to get the girl even if it's just myself. If I had found it, I would have immediately told Nyai."

"Hey, why does your speech sound so cynical, as if I had never performed the task given by Your Majesty at all."

"I don't want you to hinder the task your Majesty has given us. If you don't intend to do the job, you better back off, let us both continue."

"How could Nyai say that? That task was originally given to me. And even the task in capturing Jaka Umbara. Nyai just helped me. So, what did Nyai mean to say that?"

Ledonggowo's gaze was fixed on Nyai Gendhis. Super-brained. Staring at him with a look filled with endless questions. Nyai Gendhis was stunned to hear Ledonggowo's words just now. However, it is not Nyai Gendhis name if he is unable to reverse the speech of his interlocutor.

"I didn't mean to corner you. I just don't want the task given to us to be a little hampered. We should both be moving together instead of competing with each other."

"Rubber!" Sekarwati who had just been silent joined her mother's words. "you are always not in line with us. What, you don't think that we're in a stronghold with you, too?" he said again with a face of displeasure over every attitude shown by Ledonggowo.

Nyai Gendhis immediately rebuked Sekarwati with a sharp look so that Sekarwati was silent for a moment According to him, Ledonggowo is not someone who can be provoked just like that. Nyai Gendhis knows very well how the original character of Ledonggowo if it has been provoked.

Ledonggowo's face began to change expression. He is a person who does not like if there are other people who offend about his attitude. "You don't have to say anything. I know what I'm doing without you having to remind me!" said Ledonggowo with a high tone. The atmosphere immediately changed stiffening. A thread that both ends are pulled as tightly as possible.

The two meeting ended. Ledonggowo felt humiliated because Nyai Gendhis and Sekarwati also like cornered him. While Nyai Gendhis thought Ledonggowo had misunderstood the intent of his words.

No matter who started it, Nyai Gendhis and Ledonggowo had been involved in a fight. They fought each other without any more ba-bi-bu. Sekarwati retreated backwards on orders from Nyai Gendhis. Because Nyai Gendhis knew, his daughter would not change anything, even if it helped him in the face of Ledonggowo.

Sekarwati is only able to fall silent. He could only notice how his mother and Ledonggowo clashed with each other in their fierce fight. Segara Jati who was still sitting in the coachman's seat suddenly panicked because he saw Nyai Gendhis who was fighting with someone who was still unknown to him.

Nyai Gendhis swiftly repelled every attack of Ledonggowo with his wooden stick. While Ledonggowo divided himself into three, the three of them both helped each other in the face of Nyai Gendhis.

Blarr!! Blarr!!

Ledonggowo continued to urge Nyai Gendhis with some of his flagship moves. Nyai Gendhis remained calm even though he faced three Ledonggowo men at once. Usually Ledonggowo will use a sword when fighting against his opponent. But at this time, he was only empty-handed, relying only on his mainstay when facing Nyai Gendhis.

Ledonggowo's body movements made it a little difficult for Nyai Gendhis who remained. Nyai Gendhis is only able to continue to survive while he is not free to move more freely.

Nyai Gendhis finally got a chance to escape him for a while. He did not waste that opportunity to respond to his attacks. And as Ledonggowo was about to strike again, Nyai Gendhis immediately prepared.

Nyai Gendhis stuck his wooden stick. He took a few steps back, and suddenly disappeared somewhere. A moment later, the stick he had planted changed and transformed into a giant snake. The size of the snake's body was so big. Like ten times as many adult human bodies as one. His head was like a spoon snake and his neck was forked, thus making him have three heads in one body. One head of the snake in the middle is the core head, while the other head is a branch of the core head. Its scales are dark blue with a red diamond in the middle of the core snake's head. The serpent is like a living ancient animal.

Ledonggowo faced the snake. He along with two other bodies joined together to attack and avoid attacks from the three heads of the large snake he was facing. When one of his snake heads pecked at the ground as Ledonggowo dodged from it, the ground seemed to shake violently, like the roar of thunder booming with a loud voice. The ground seemed to be swaying a little.

Ledonggowo continued to give his attack. He climbed the wind, flew before the head of the snake and gave it resistance. The head of the snake was so agile with its tongue sticking out with a hissing sound.
