SAKYA PARAKA: THE LIBERATOR

I'm a girl, Ah

After the arrival of Shrie, Shinta and Sakya, the duke of Sena stood up from his seat and spoke to the inhabitants of Lokapatti: "The inhabitants of Lokapatti, today is a special day for the city of Lokapatti. Today we will receive a new family member who will add to the glory of the city of Lokapatti, even the entire human race. He is Vaidya Shrie."

The Duke of Sena stopped and looked towards Shrie. Shinta swiftly told Shrie to come to the Duchy of Sena. After standing beside the duke of Sena, he continued his speech, "Shrie is ... I raised him as a foster child and I hope ...."

In essence, the duke of Sena told him about Shrie's ability to simultaneously raise Vaidya Shrie to be his adopted son and hope that other residents would treat him well.

"... Lokapatti, take my son, Shrie." The Duke of Sena stopped his speech and all the residents of the Lokapatti applauded.

Shrie just stood there. This time it was his turn to speak. He was completely unprepared to speak in front of many people. Not now, not even in the future.

"Vaidya Shrie heal me!"

"Please Vaidya Shrie, heal my husband."

"Vaidya Shrie, heal me!"

The sick townspeople begin to beg Shrie to be healed. Shrie remained silent, moving only her hair and clothes that were blown by the wind.

"We heal those who are sick at once. You just need to pray, I'll heal him with my man" Sakya's command by telepathy sounded.

Shrie then sang his prayer,

“Oh ... Ecadeva,

god of all gods

The ruler of all living beings

Who rules life and death

Listen to the request wholeheartedly

Oh .. ekadeva

Give me strength

Extend life

A servant of Thy who is full of weakness.”

Sakya began to take out her prana spreading throughout the Lokapatti square.

People start to fall silent when their bodies feel warm. Those who are sick, feel the pain gradually begin to diminish. Those who were not sick felt his body getting fitter. This miracle is not only felt by the residents but by those who sit in the north seat.

Everyone began to wonder inwardly, is this Shrie's own ability? Or his divine ability? What kind of man can heal hundreds of people and make thousands of people refreshed? If this is because of Ekadeva, then what about the goddess Daru whom they have been worshipping?

So many questions without answers. One thing is certain, the residents all began to believe the greatness of Vaidya Shrie and the existence of Ekadeva. With a little more magic maybe they will immediately worship Ekadeva and leave the goddess Daru.

Both the balapati Mara, the duke of Sena and especially Pandita Sava began to frown. He did not dare to imagine what would happen to the religion he led. What will happen when the inhabitants abandon the goddess Daru and begin to worship Ekadeva?

"Duke Sena, how is this? If ...,"

The Duke of Sena raised his hand to cut off the speech of the Sava pandita. "We finish one by one."

"What do you think, Duke? We should have killed them" whispered balapati Mara.

"So your mouth Mara! If anything happens to my foster son, I'll make sure we're all destroyed together. You forget the reason why I founded this city? Go!" The Duke of Sena spoke in a voice that only the Mara balapati heard.

Balapati Mara immediately stood up and left the square. Daurjana who saw her father go immediately followed him.

"Dad, what's going on?"

"Daurjana, let's think of a proper way to get rid of the duke and then discuss it with me again!" answer balapati Mara.

"Good, Dad. What about Shinta and Shrie? Emm can I have them?" whispered Daurjana, his mouth grinning wide like a snake.

"Huh, you and your madness. Do what you want," Balapati Mara said.

Then they got on their horses and left.

After pretending to heal the residents in the square, Shrie returned to her seat. The Duke of Sena took his place and said, "Lokapatti people, it's time to party, enjoy."

Bamboo drums and wind instruments began to ring. The dancers started to perform and act.   The residents of Lokapatti also began to busy looking at the merchandise sold around the square, while others danced with the dancers.

"You don't want to look around the square?" ask Shinta.

"Of course, you're not prisoners. Go then! And enjoy." Shinta went towards her father while laughing.

The Duke of Sena now sat alone because not long after the balapati Mara left, the pandita Sava joined the march.

"Dad, the power of Ekadeva is incredible. Are you sure there won't be any problems?" shinta asked the duke of Sena.

"It does not matter to any god we worship, as long as our way of life does not change" replied the duke of Sena.

"I mean the Sava pandita" Shinta said. "He's going to lose his job. He's not gonna do anything crazy, is he?" Shinta asked back.

"For now he will not dare. But I'm not sure about Mara. Father felt that he was no longer strong enough to hold back his greed to quickly come to power," replied the duke Sena softly.

"I'll protect Shrie. I understand how important he is to this city."

"Not only this city, but for the whole of humanity. You know if there's Aida and Shrie, there's a good chance there's another Aida and another Shrie-Shrie in the world. I suspect Sakya also has a special feature from other humans," murmured the duke of Sena, staring at Shinta.

"He ... No—no, he's too stupid to be a special human being," she shook her head.

"Ha ha, that's it. Let's go home, let them both look around the city, they can go home by themselves" said the Duke.

✤✤✤

"Acchu ...." Suddenly Sakya's nose itches and sneezes. Am I going to get sick? Sakya feels strange because for five years she has never been sick.

"Vaidya Shrie, wait ...!" A ten-year-old boy ran after Shrie. Shrie and Sakya turned their heads back and stopped their steps.

"What's up, kid? Are you sick?" shrie asked slightly bowed.

"No Vaidya. You've healed me. I went to Vaidya to fulfill my grandfather's promise" said the boy.

"Oh, what promise is that?" Shrie frowned. He doesn't remember anyone promising him. He had only been in the town of Lokapatti for three days.

"My name is Vatsa, yesterday Vaidya healed me in Lokapatti square. Grandfather promised me that if someone healed me, he would give up his life. Emm ... Since my grandfather is old, I will take his place. Let me serve you all my life Vaidya Shrie." Vatsa immediately knelt before Shrie.

"Haiz, no need ... It is not necessary ... You don't owe me anything. Go then! There accompany your grandfather," said Shrie.

"Can't, Vaidya. My grandfather said, the promise must be kept, if not kept then forever we will be hit by bad luck," said Vatsa. His face is serious.

"Hmmm, well, Vatsa you can serve me. Now I command you to serve your grandfather. Go then! Execute my orders" Shrie told Vatsa.

"Well Vaidya, tomorrow I will see you again" said Vatsa.

"No need! I've been with your grandfather his whole life!"

"Yes Vaidya Shrie. But tomorrow is Grandpa's last day in town. Tomorrow Grandpa has been chosen to participate in the celebration of the goddess Daru. I couldn't go and those who were at the celebration never came back to this town" Vatsa said.

"Why?" Shrie.

"Grandfather said, the goddess Daru took them to a beautiful place. So today is my last day with my grandfather."

Vatsa was silent, then lowered his head. It seemed like she was trying to hold back from crying but, Shrie and Sakya could hear her sobbing.

Shrie looked at Sakya and Sakya just nodded and smiled.

"Vatsa, today you're with your grandfather first and tomorrow you can find me!" shrie's word to Vatsa.

"Thank you Vaidya Shrie."  Vatsa is gone.

"Are you sure you're gonna be okay, sister?" shrie asked Sakya.

"Ha ha ha, do you think anyone can hurt me?" Sakya let out a laugh, "you don't have to worry."

"Well, if you don't come back, I'll make sure the city is destroyed. There will be a lot of blood ... A lot of dead bodies and a lot of ..."

"Hey, I'll definitely be back. You just calm down ah. You're a woman, must be affectionate ah. You pretend you don't know until I get back." Sakya tries to calm Shrie down who starts to show her emotions.

"Oh, I'll be full of affection. I will kill them quickly, without pain, I am a woman ah," muttered Shrie, leaving Sakya.

"..."

Huh, Varna must be hiding something about women. I never thought they were so dangerous. Frighteningly.
