MASSHIAHSAGA - DESTINY TOWER OF MAJESTY

HEIRLOOM GUARDIAN CREATURES

"You!!! You're a Sigirlya?!" pekik Havard was in disbelief, stunned by all his shock. The others are also the same, except Nagini who only showed off a thin and cold smile.

"I've been expecting it since the first time" he said as if muttering.

Havard stared at Nagini on the back of his geryon. "You... Did you know from the beginning?" hisses.

Nagini smiled back. "Initially I just suspected and suspected it. In fact, my gut feeling was not wrong."

Sultan Yazid sighed. Do Quo sighed. Thor looked at Champa sharply.

"What do you mean hide your identity like that, Champa?" asked Thor suddenly while coming down from his giant goat and stepped slowly until he was now only a meter with Champa.

Champa only smiled amidst the glittering roar of tears decorating his white cheeks.

"I just don't want you guys to suspect me like Nagini." Champa replied reasoned. "After all.. isn't the fugitive you hunted, also a Sigirlya man?"

Sultan Yazid sighed. "But there's no need to hide it, Champa. Just because Sinhalese is one of your people, causes all Sigirlya people to accept our hatred.

"Yes, I know, I was wrong." said Champa looked down for a moment and looked at Thor. "Will I be hated after this?"

"The Leader of the Bustamian State has expressed his attitude." replied Thor. "What reason would we hate you?"

Thor's answer made Champa cry again without a sound. He smiles.

"I'm sorry to make you all worry" he said.

"Now what else are you hiding?" tugut Havard's. The young man showed off his smile. "Just say it now before it's all revealed and we'll really hate you."

Champa smiled and wiped his tears. "My real name is not Champa. I used that name while settling in the Central Plains."

Havard raised his eyebrows. Champa sighed and continued his words. "My real name is... Siff..."

"Siff.." said Sultan Yazid nodding. "Can you show me the way to Shamvala?" her door.

"It is with pleasure, Your Majesty." replied Champa or Siff.

The little girl with silver hair with light wings whose clawed edges resembled five finger segments was bent in reverence.

Siff turned around and spread out his arms with his wings of light. Suddenly a beam of light appeared that was getting more and more visible and widened like a gate. Siff then turned to look at the riders.

Siff's right wing waved with its claws opening as if to allow them to cross the gate of light.

Sultan Yazid looked at his five comrades. "We leave our horses here. I think it'd be better if we entered that place without a vehicle." he suggested. The suggestion of the ruler of the eastern region was approved by the others.

They each got down from his vehicle and stepped into the gate of light guided by Siff.

As soon as they crossed that gate of light. In front of them was a beautiful sight. A beautiful settlement blends with the lush trees that decorate the plains.

"Is this Shamvala?" sultan Yazid hissed in amazement and looked at Siff.

Siff nodded and let his six colleagues down the street while he was in front as a guide. Some residents of Shamvala were astonished to see six non-fairs walking down the streets.

Sultan Yazid occasionally looked at them and bowed respectfully. They retaliated with a forced manners.

The seven men continued down the street. At the end of the street is the largest building.

"It's the Angravesta Temple, the place where we're headed" Siff said.

They arrived in front of the building and two men came in front of the Temple. One of them is Siff's father.

"Why did you bring them here? Didn't I tell you, our territory is sacred to people like them!" scold the parobaya man.

"Father.we have a duty to subdue the Tanihwa Dragon!" siff said firmly. "And the dragon, as you know, came out of Mount Pyrgo and made a roar of his anger."

"But why should you?!" sue the father. "Let them endure it. There is enough damage done by humans. We fairies don't have that responsibility!"

"You're wrong sir.." cried Havard.

The parobaya Sigirlya man looked at Havard. "Call me, Assurbasirpal!"

"Mr Assurnasirpal, you are wrong to think that the fairies have lost the responsibility with humans in guarding the earth" Havard said.

"Why do you think like that?" challenge Assurnasirpal. "The elves have finished after the Great War. When the Queen of the Aragami Nation left the Ormuz Scepter here, we as fellow fairies have exchanged vows not to be involved in world affairs. We've had enough of peace and uninterrupted until you come back here!"

"But one of your people is back to throwing a tantrum!" havard. "He claimed to be from Shamvala and to have wreaked havoc in the east, pitting two great empires and nearly setting off a war! How can you say that you have no moral responsibility for it?!"

"Who is that guy?!" ask Assurnasirpal.

"His name is Sinhalese.. Do you know him?" ask Sultan Yazid.

"Sinhalas? You said Sinhalese from Shamvala?" assurnasirpal then laughed mockingly. "That man is not a Shamvala!"

"But he confessed." Havard's protest demanded.

"He is a Sigirlya! But not the citizens of Shamvala!" assurnasirpal denied. "You have fooled him. Sinhala was the prince of the Hittian kingdom in the Boudi Desert in the west."

"But Queen Mezura never told me that!" nagini suddenly.

"Of course!" assurnasirpal. "Sinhala was the deposed prince, for attempting to stage a coup against the Mezura leadership. Did you know that Mezura is his sister?!" the answer seemed to put Mezura as if Sigirlya was not important.

"Sinhala fled to Shamvala, asking King Marduk to help him seize the throne. But His Majesty Marduk refused. After that we never heard from him again." continued Assurnasirpal.

"Then help us defeat Sinhalese." - Sultan Yazid. "He has committed various disturbances in the east. The man had collected the World Treasure.I can conclude that he wanted to raise King Samiri from his death."

Assurnasirpal was stunned to hear the words and looked at his daughter. Siff nodded steadily.

"Help us, Father, we must meet Ahura Mazdha who is guarding the Ormuz Scepter so that he will give it in order to prevent the Tanihwa Dragon from making a mess." pinta Siff persuaded Assurnasirpal.

Assurnasirpal is silent in his trunk. Siff was back to persuading. "Oh Dad, the fate of the universe lies with you."

Assurnasirpal then nodded and walked away. "Come to the Angravesta Temple." he said. "Find Ahura Mazdha and beg him to give you the Scepter of Ormuz."

Sigirlya's man, who accompanied Assurnasirpal, headed to the temple door and opened the door. It was with great joy that the seven men entered the temple. Siff again became an expert guide, directing them to the main room of the temple where a giant creature appeared.

Rumellia was most amazed because it was unexpected to find the figure of a giant creature that inhabited the temple. It has a giant griffin. His head is topped with a crown. In the middle of the crown is attached a luminous wand.That Ormuz Scepter which has magical properties, paralyzing the power of energy in the Dragon Tanihwa.

It looks like the giant griffin is doing something like this because both eyes are closed and two legs clawed like an eagle are criss-crossing the chest. Both of his wings stretched out wrapped around his body. Slowly, Siff approached and knelt before the giant griffin.

"Your Majesty Ahura Mazdha, the great patron of Shamvala. Six of his colleagues did what Siff did.

Slowly but surely, the giant griffin's eyes opened. Seeing seven people kneeling before him made the griffin lower his front leg that was stranded and straightened his body.

"Siff the daughter of Assurnasirpal." exclaimed the griffin.

"Yes, Sire!!!" answer Siff.

"Why did you bring a stranger into this sacred temple? Isn't Angravesta just for Sigirlya's people?" exclaim that giant creature.

"They are not here to pray, Your Majesty, but to ask for help." replied Siff reverently.

"Bettlement? What kind of help do they want from me?" ahura Mazdha asked with a sharpened look.

"Let me pay my respects to His Majesty." said Sultan Yazid.

"Humans.." Ahura Mazdha said. "I'm amazed.you're the first man who dared to speak before me..."

"I really appreciate it, Your Majesty, please allow me to connect what my friend, Siff, has revealed." said Sultan Yazid.

Ahura Mazdha looked at him sharply. "Tell me the truth, son of man. Otherwise, I would not hesitate to tear your body and eat it. I have not tasted human flesh for a long time..."

Havard shuddered at the giant griffin's speech. Sultan Yazid gulped his own saliva and continued speaking.

"You certainly know that the Tanihwa Dragon who was locked up millions of years ago on Mount Pyrgo has now been free and again made damage. You also know that all that can destroy the magic power of the dragon is the Ormuz Wand attached to your crown. We want to use that heirloom to stop him. Please Your Majesty grant our wishes." said Sultan Yazid again bowed in reverence.

Ahura Mazdha nodded. "Yes, that's right! Only the Ormuz Wand can eliminate Tanihwa's mystical powers. I myself will not be able to face it. Besides now that I was destined to take care of Shamvala, my physical strength had also weakened. In contrast to him. The nation of sauria never has a weakness of the body. The older, the stronger it is..."

Ahura Mazdha then looked at Sultan Yazid. "I can give this thing to you. But, it would certainly be contrary to the wishes of the people of Shamvala. Moreover they could only entrust this hereditary heirloom to the most intelligent beings."

Sultan Yazid looked at Siff who could only show off a bitter smile and nodded resignedly. The man sighed and then nodded in understanding.

"Are you the smartest creature of the human race?" ask Ahura Mazdha.

"I don't know." replied Sultan Yazid honestly. "But if I can answer these questions, it could indicate that my knowledge may be somewhat more than that of the average human."

Ahura Mazdha laughed for a moment then looked at Siff. "Your friend said in a state that sounded wise in my mind."

Siff was once again only able to bow in reverence. The giant creature occupants of the temple then lowered his body.

Ahura Mazdha leaned his head towards Sultan Yazid. "I will test your intelligence, son of man. If you can answer my three questions then I acknowledge your intelligence and award this heirloom to you..."

"Please ask the question" said Sultan Yazid.

"But if you can't answer my question, then don't blame me for making you my meal." Ahura Mazdha growled.

Sultan Yazid smiled at the threat.

"First question, son of man. A Leprekaun*) keeps a treasure at the end of the rainbow. When you find the end of the rainbow, you only find crumbs of corn. How do you think about that?" ask Ahura Mazdha.

"The ambition is greed and greed is just an illusion. The more we try to fulfill that desire of greed, the more we find that it is just an illusion." replied Sultan Yazid then looked up to Ahura Mazdha. "How do I answer, your Majesty?"

"Hmmm... it makes sense.it is a parable in the past.." comments Ahura Mazdha then looked at Sultan Yazid sharply. "You seem to be knowledgeable anyway."

Siff smiled with relief while the others nodded even though among them, it was likely that only Do Quo and Nagini would understand.

"Second question. A beautiful house belongs to an orphan. The house almost collapsed, but there was not a single citizen who could be asked for help...what would you do?" ask Ahura Mazdha.

"I will continue to rebuild it without the help of the people around it, although maybe the hut is not as it was originally shaped, that under the floor of the house was an heirloom passed down to the boy and I'm grateful they didn't help me. For I fear that they will seize the inheritance and abandon the orphans." replied Sultan Yazid.

"What is that heirloom? What's wealth?" challenge Ahura Mazdha.

Sultan Yazid shakes. "It is not wealth, but divine knowledge that can reveal the secrets of the universe..."

Ahura Mazdha nodded again. "Last question. Do you know about a hunk of meat that greatly influences the behavior of every creature?"

Sultan Yazid smiled again and nodded. "I know that a piece of flesh is Conscience.What if it is clean, it will clean the nature and attitude of beings. The opposite is true." he replied.

Ahura Mazdha straightened her body. "I finally found a wise man among the human race." he commented. "Take this Ormuz's wand, son of man, and conquer Tanihwa with your pure determination!" yelled Ahura Mazdha steadily. []
