KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

Anjani III

“What do you mean Anjani?” Gentayu looked at Anjani full of question marks.

“I mean, everyone in the Fire clan has been fooled by Datuk Buana this period!.” Anjani stated that sentence confidently. Her beautiful eyes looked shiny as her head nodded confidently. Step slowly away from Gentayu.

“Tertipu? Fooled how do you mean?” Gentayu increasingly does not understand the direction of Gentayu talks. Especially when it comes to his father.

“What do you think, if in this world there is a person or group that is able to change form and disguise themselves as others perfectly? Not only his face, but also his ability?” Anjani who had originally walked away from Gentayu now turned around. Look back into the young man's eyes.

“Of course it's dangerous.but isn't it with the power that people in this world have, such a thing would be easy to know?” Gentayu argued as if denying conveyed Anjani.

”It can only happen if the one who does it is only people with the ability of your class or lower. But in this world.. Evil and truth, grow stronger together.. As it grows stronger and increases the height of the human position, the level of perfection of its evil also increases.”.

“Do you mean, those in the Fire Clan right now are not the real Fire Clan people?

You mean, they were other people in disguise?” Gentayu tried to capture the intent behind Anjani's words.

The girl simply nodded, her eyes sharply showing the confidence and honesty of her words.

“Then, do you have any proof, Anjani?” Gentayu indeed could not believe the words of this beautiful girl before him. After all, this girl was still filled with many mysteries for him.

“Of course I have the proof! You think, why would I end up in such a miserable place in the middle?” Anjani said so as his eyes glared slightly and his face was brought close to Gentayu's face, making the young man retreated.

“I was the son of your grandfather's servant who was killed by Mislan Katili” Anjani then turned to his back to Gentayu. Then walk slowly away, around the lute tree while continuing the story.

Like my parents, I also continued their work, as a servant of the family of Datuk Buana Marga Api this generation.

I have the ability to remember anything I read in one look, but no one knows this special ability of mine. So, when cleaning the room of the Grandfather Buana, I often skim the pages of the books he was reading. In short, I stole science. In fact, during my three years of service, I have read and completed more books than the Grandfather of Buana.

But something stuck in my heart after reading those books for three years.

Initially, the books were books for high-level science that should only be studied by the officials of Marga and Datuk Buana only. But, the last year, the ones I found and read were the basic books. Even too basic.

All those questions and incongruities were finally answered in the last months of my devotion. Before I was exiled to Dipantara” Anjani was seen taking a pause, taking a deep breath then again exhaling it. This is his way of not getting carried away by the emotions that make him return must remember how tortured he was when he only existed as a stone in the form of a trident. Alone in the quiet.

“That night, I was asked to accompany my grandfather's guest. He, this guest came with many tributes to Datuk Buana. I just found out later, just before being wasted to Dipantara that it turns out this person is a follower of Mislan katili, from the Red Skull Faction.” Seen Anjani clenched her hands hard when calling the word ‘Red Skull’.

“Then, what did you find?” Gentayu asked that while his right hand was attached to Anjani's left shoulder. The owner of the shoulder turned to his shoulder, making Gentayu immediately pull back his hand.

“I found a fact afterwards. I was asked out of the room by Datuk Buana. Since I suspected something was wrong there, I was obedient to leave but unbeknownst to them I used my ability to hear remotely to eavesdrop on the second conversation.

The room was sealed so that what they were talking about did not come out.

But, they definitely did not know that I had mastered the important parts of high-level science that should only be mastered by the Grandfather. Thanks to my ability, the seal that blocks the conversation from being heard by others does not work on me.

As a result, I discovered the facts about the origin of the great ability of Mislan Katili. How could he master the entire abilities of the strongest warriors of each clan? The answer was because of the ancestors of these Red Skull Faction people!

They, the Red Skull Faction, have the ability to change the face making it easier for them to penetrate for hundreds of years. Maybe after hundreds of years, in this period the intruders managed to reach important positions except the position of Datuk Buana.

I even came to the conclusion and I believe it, that Datuk Buana this period was killed. And these people from the Red Skull disguised themselves as him!” Anjani said fieryly full of anger.

True anger. Because, if not for the intervention of Datuk Rajo Narako who helped him in Dipantara, maybe Anjani will end up just being a trident stone with a spirit locked in it. Forever.

Anjani's description really managed to shake Gentayu's soul. All the dreams he built were like vanishing evaporates.

Initially, after getting a hint from Datuk Rajo Narako that he must strengthen himself before he can return to his world, Gentayu thinks that returning to his world is like the return of an overseas person who will be welcomed with joy.

But after hearing Anjani's full story, Gentayu became more understanding of the strength of the upheaval that occurred in the Fire Clan, his ancestral clan.

Although he has never met his parents, Gentayu can feel the magnitude of the sacrifices they made to ensure he remains alive to this day.

By mastering the top leadership of the Fire Clan, the Red Skull clearly had doubled in profit. The entire clan's secrets, including high-level mastery of science had clearly fallen into their hands perfectly. Here are the resources and strengths of the warriors in it.

“I hope, you are not rash, appearing at a time when your strength is still so weak as it is now.. Instead, you just keep acting and thinking like your mom and dad are gone. At least, until you are able to reach the Sky Swordsman level!

If you come to the Fire Clan right now, it would be like killing me, killing your father and mother, and killing yourself. Think of it.” Anjani lowered her tone until it sounded soft. Then lean his back on the lute tree while looking up at the full moon in the sky.

If Anjani's estimate of the murder of the original Datuk Buana is correct, then it means Gentayu's father's position as the strongest swordsman today, perhaps only symbolic. Being able to kill Datuk Buana Fire clearly showed they possessed strength that could not be underestimated.

Moreover, there must be a grand plan behind it all that the Red Skull group had designed.

If Gentayu appeared at this time, it would certainly threaten not only his life, but also the life of his father. Because with the emergence of Gentayu as the strongest warrior child who is still likely to develop to reach the level of the Celestial swordsman, it will certainly threaten the position of the next Datuk Buana from the lineage of Datuk Buana this period. That is what Gentayu thinks today.

“Day is late. We better get some rest. Tomorrow we continue the journey.” Anjani moved to awaken Gentayu who was dissolving in the chaos of his mind.

“Good. Better so. We rest first, tomorrow we decide our next goal and plan.” Answer Gentayu.

Eventually, the two re-entered the Joh Kaiman residence in silence. Without saying anything else. They are indeed thinking about what steps they should do next in this foreign world. If you can choose, Gentayu clearly chose to return to Dipantara.

Nb. There are many Puzle stories that have not been fully connected.

Deliberately, let you guys be curious and think a little. wkwkwkwk...

Pingin Crazy Up, but from last night always fails to hold the laptop.

Hopefully tonight can be the maximum..

Writing that story, not much different it turns out by revealing the feelings for the first time to gebetan. Even if the concept is complete, the scenario exists, but as soon as you see there is a father, everything is spoiled!
