Night Eagle Swordsman

Staying In Kademangan II

Puguh was very happy to be invited by Ki Poyo. Especially when invited to take a train and see the soldiers training in the side yard.

In between delivering supplies for the soldiers, Puguh stole the opportunity to see what the soldiers were doing during their training, even if only a brief glance, because if caught seeing the soldiers practicing, will be scolded.

In the afternoon, Puguh invited Ki Poyo to the river which is located quite far from the Kademangan complex. There they bathed the chariot and his horse. They were there long enough. For all waiting dry, his chariot and his horse and also waiting for the time to take back the supplies of the soldiers. Unless there are other tasks that must be done Ki Poyo will be visited by soldiers sent by Ki Demang.

In the river, Puguh is free enough to see the situation around the river. He asked Ki Poyo a lot and Ki Poyo was happy to explain to Puguh.

Until the end of the afternoon, they went back to Kademangan. Arriving at his room, Puguh found his room was still empty, the symbol had not returned home.

While waiting for the time of the symbol to go home, Puguh again repeated how to regulate breathing that yesterday night he tried. Because he felt it, it could make his mind calm.

The breathing this time lasted longer. Because he's not as hungry as yesterday. Because during with Ki Poyo earlier, Puguh provided a variety of foods.

Tired all day with Ki Poyo, after adjusting his breathing for some time, Puguh fell back asleep in a sitting position cross-legged. Until finally at midnight, the symbol came home with food, Puguh not too enthusiastic about the food brought his symbol, but more excited about everything he did with Ki Poyo.

"You must obey Mr. Poyo, so that pakdhe Poyo does not get angry because of your mistakes," his symbology advice.

Puguh only nodded happily, because the symbol did not forbid him to be with Ki Poyo.

Day after day passed and without feeling it had been ten days Puguh lived everything he did, both when with Ki Poyo and when in the room alone.

Days accompany Ki Poyo, Puguh get a lot of knowledge.

Only ten days passed, but it was seen, Puguh's body already looked not thin anymore. Because during his time with Ki Poyo, Puguh never lacked food. And without him and his symbol realized, thanks to training his breathing, Puguh's body looks more solid even though he is only six years old. And his breath is longer.

The next day, as usual, Puguh waited for Ki Poyo to arrive at the gate. Since early in the morning he has been bathing and asking for a change of clothes on his symbol.

Puguh has been waiting for a while. But by noon, Ki Poyo had yet to show up.

He was confused as to what he should do. Puguh stepped through the gate as soon as possible to see, maybe Ki Poyo was outside. Still nothing. Finally Puguh got out, passing the soldiers who were training. Because the soldiers have been accustomed to seeing Puguh passing along with Ki Poyo, then Puguh was silenced, not reprimanded or scolded.

Puguh looked up to the gate of the front gate, but still Ki Poyo was not there. The gate guard soldiers were also familiar with the presence of Puguh, because often Puguh pass with Ki Poyo.

"Is it possible that Pakdhe has gone to the river ?" puguh said in his heart.

After walking for a long time, Puguh finally reached the river. There he did not find Ki Poyo. Because of fatigue after walking far enough, Puguh was sitting on a rock by the river to rest. The stone where he usually put his clothes while he played in the river.

The river where Ki Poyo and Puguh washed the carriage and bathed the horse is still upstream, because it is still close to the source of its springs. So the water is still very clear. Because the back area of the Kademangan complex is included in the vast plains so that the flow of river is not too heavy even though there are parts of the river that are deep enough.

While sitting on a rock, Puguh saw the state of the river. When it is quiet no people or animals enter the river, the river water looks clear. It was so clear that the rocks at the bottom of the river were visible.

Finally came a sense of wanting to enter and play on the river. Then, Puguh quickly took off all his clothes and left only ****** that he still wore to enter the river water.

After Puguh approached the river, it turned out that the rocks on the bottom of the river were very clear water, presenting a beautiful scenery and attracting curiosity.

So fun to play in the river, especially to see the rocks on the bottom of the river, without realizing it, Puguh to a place that is rather deep, so it must dive to be able to see the bottom of the river.

Long enough Puguh dive and move places. Puguh did not realize, how much he every dive, can be long enough, can be three to five minutes. That's because, without realizing it he practiced breathing every night.

For ordinary people who see Puguh, a little child who is only six years old diving can be up to five minutes or even more, will be amazed.

Without feeling, Puguh played in the river until the afternoon. He went home and reached the gate of Kademangan in the evening. Puguh hurriedly entered Kademangan and immediately headed to me room for fear of being scolded by its symbols.

Once in his room, it turns out the symbol has not come home either. Finally like the night before, Puguh passed the night alone, because at midnight the symbol just came home.

At midnight when the symbol came home, as usual Puguh was asleep until awakened by the symbol to eat the food brought by the symbol.

While eating Puguh asked his symbol, why Ki Poyo did not take him to deliver supplies.

Nyi Traju explained that Ki Poyo in the morning had to take the healer who treated Den Roro to the Duchy to look for medicinal ingredients and new night home.

Nyi Traju also explained to his son Puguh, if the main task is a masseuse Kademangan, so that until the time Den Roro healed must still be ready at Dalem Ageng Kademangan main house.

Without feeling six months passed. Day by day Puguh always pass by activities that indirectly form his physical strength. At night he uses to train his breathing while waiting for his symbol to come home. Morning to afternoon he used to swim and dive between time to help Ki Poyo when invited to the river. Sometimes invited by Ki Poyo saw soldiers practicing, then his night tried to imitate the movements he saw.

Eventually Puguh grew into a nimble and nimble child. Although he was only six and a half years old and his body was small and somewhat thin, but looked more sturdy and stronger than children his age.
