KEEP BUANA (Rise of Darkness)

The Fire God Body

Immediately, after finishing his effort to get 7 stalks of the moon lotus petals Anjani rushed back to the cave house where Gentayu was being treated.

In contrast to the departure that looks excited, Anjani now looks lethargic.

There was no cheerful look on his eyes as was commonly seen for the past ten days. It was obvious that the girl was bearing a heavy burden in her mind. Yes, worry and anxiety about Gentayu's next life!

Suddenly, Anjani feels estranged as the trident stone in the Intermediate is better than here, in his own world. His hometown.

“What's bothering you, sweet girl?” A voice with a calming aura rang out behind Anjani's back. Apparently, the healer had been back in his stone cave residence.

“Mmm. no, grandma. Nothing, grandma..” denied Anjani, trying to cover up her depressed feelings.

“Did you encounter any obstacles while collecting these medicinal plants? Grandma look, your face is tangled.” the old healer tried to guess what happened and addressed Anjani.

The last sentence was spoken with his hand, agilely concocting and processing all the medicinal plants Anjani collected into powder and various colors of porridge.

“Nek.. “ suddenly Anjani decided to ventured to ask some things that felt stuck in her heart.

“Hmm?” that was the only word that came out of the healer in response.

“The expanse of medicinal plants under this cave, also in some areas of this mountain, why did grandma limit it with betel nut, Nek?” Anjani did not dare to directly ask, rather protest against the incident he experienced in the moon lotus pond. Instead, he asked things that he thought were not too important to get closer to his next point.

“Why don't you start your question by asking grandma's name, huh?” the doctor's answer succeeded in stabbing and hit Anjani's heart. Makes his scalp numb. It felt, right now his face was flushed like boiled shrimp out of embarrassment! How could he not ask this question?

“Ehm. sorry grandma.. Ss.. syme..” Anjani said in a stammer. Nervous. But he failed to answer the doctor.

“I seem to have to explain a few things to you, Anjani.” the healer said quietly, but his eyes remained focused on the process of compounding the medicine.

The words of the healer once again slapped Anjani. How and where did this old woman know her name while she did not know the name of the physician? Even after ten more days of living in his house, and enjoying all the facilities?

His face, once again flushed in embarrassment. As a young generation, he felt extremely unethical!

“I am known as husada madya Suntari. Suntari is my name, and Husada Madya is my nickname, the title for the medicine and medical doctor of the middle level in this place. I'm not the only drug expert in this place. There are about 40 people like me, in various levels.” this old healer named Suntari gave a moment's pause on his introduction when he saw Anjani's forehead wrinkled.

“Mmak.. sud granny.?” Anjani did not continue his sentence, his eyes slowly glanced out, accompanied by his thumb finger which also pointed out, towards the expanse of medicinal plants whose every acre was bounded by rows of betel trees.

“Iya. I am a member of the group of exorcists or medical experts from the Padepokan Pinang Emas.. Arguably, I am currently at the second highest level, below the head of the medicine hall. In addition to the Medicine hall, our storehouse has two other halls, namely the knight hall and the Weapons hall.”.

Brief description of the old woman, managed to make the mouth of the anjani form the letter O. Although short, but the explanation is able to explain many things that previously stuck.

“Is a special medal needed for nek to take medicinal plants in areas other than the grandmother's own area, should it be?” ask Anjani further.

Knowing that it is currently in the area of the city of Pinang Emas, makes him think that each region has its own special rules. Likely, according to him, the medal requested by the slimy human-like creature in the lotus pond was related to the identity of the plaster.

Until a moment later, he turned his head with narrowed eyes and frown “ Eee..A medal? Wait... What do you mean this medal went into the lotus pond area? You asked to show me a medal?” Suntari seemed to forget something important in his sentence.

“iya new.”

“Hmmph! Who feels like the pool belongs to him? That pond was an abandoned lotus pond! There must be some nosy student who accidentally found you and made excuses! Did he blackmail you? Ask you something? The item? The money? Or...” Suntari Eyes turn red. A mixture of angry and upset emotions appeared on his unsightly face.

“I'll teach him a lesson! Explain features! Which hall did he come from? Just so you know, son.. We are in the medicine hall, despite our physical strength and combat ability under the other hall, but our strata and standing are higher than any hall!” Anger seemed to be taking hold of Suntari, even before Anjani explained anything.

‘It turns out, this patient-looking old healer is originally grumpy.’ Inner Anjani.

“Himself..body green.”.

“The body is Green?? Her clothes you mean?” Back, Suntari cuts Anjani's explanation.

“No granny, her body Green.. absolutely green and. and slimy.” Anjani tried to explain with a strained eye.

Initially, he had guessed after knowing that this entire place was the territory of the Golden Paddle, the strange creature in the lotus pond was one of the guards of the important area of the temple. Now, after seeing Suntari's expression, Anjani becomes doubtful.

Hearing the characteristics of the creature mentioned as green and slimy, made Suntari's expression change. He even looked at Anjani from head to toe, then back from toe to toe. Trying to find awkwardness, it may have occurred to him that Anjani experienced hallucinations when passing through parts of poisonous plants in one of the gardens along the way.

However, Suntari did not find at all the symptoms of strangeness he was looking for.

“You're not drunk due to a thawing plant ‘khan?” tanya Suntari was in disbelief.

Anjani just shook her head. It seems, the misfortune for him today to meet a beast that threatens his life and Gentayu is something beyond the authority of even a fist. So Anjani chose not to explain further.

“Perhaps, you mean students who are muffled in the pool and covered by green moss?” Suntari still thought that everything was only done by nosy students.

As he remembered, the pond was indeed an abandoned pond. It does not require any special permission to enter. Especially asking for a special identity.

Anjani just let out a long sigh, then shook her head. While Suntari, continue the final process of compounding the medicine!

“Successful!!” suddenly Suntari shouted in excitement, surprising Anjani.

“With this, your friend should be able to recover, and get the maximum benefit from his fire god special body.!” Suntari exclaimed with sparkling eyes, his hand holding the medicinal solution in a horn container.

Anjani looked up, completely clueless.

“Body of Fire God??”
