Shivaratri: Destroy the Darkness

Punthuk Songo's

In Swastamita there are places filled with dark aura. One of them is a place called Punthuk Songo. Punthuk Songo is the place where the Kuwung Sang and the Light Lord Rawi are swallowed by the Dark One. The place where the story of the lunar and solar eclipses begins.

Thousands of years ago, the son of a Mahadeva who was cursed to become a monster or Ditya tried to seize a valuable treasure called Tirta Amerta. He did not accept, if only gods could have Tirta Amerta. The Ditya or Raksas must also have. Secretly the cursed Son of Mahadeva came to Kahyangan and stole Tirta Amerta. However, this was known to Sang Kuwung, the Moon God lord of light.

The cursed son of Mahadeva felt very angry and attacked the Kuwung. Then swallow the moon roundly. Until the lunar eclipse. It makes the moon a total darkness. The Rawi, the Sun god, discovered what the Son of Mahadeva did. The Rawi God tried to save the Kuwung. However, it ended in vain. Dewa Rawi also swallowed by Putra Mahadewa. The earth is engulfed in deep darkness. This story begins with a solar eclipse.

The Mahadeva knew what his son had done. He asked the balance-keeping god of nature named God Padmanabha to face his son. The God Padmanabha confronts the Ditya.

Ditya the son of the Mahadeva who managed to steal Tirta Amerta immediately swallowed it. But at the same time, a chakra weapon belonging to the God Padmanabha slashed the head of the Ditya. His body fell to the earth and turned into a dimple. Tirta Amerta, the moon and sun that had been swallowed fortunately still in the throat of the Ditya. The god Padmanabha immediately took Tirta Amerta hiding it somewhere. While the lunar eclipse and solar eclipse little by little has passed. The earth is back to light. The Kuwung God the ruler of light returned bright. The sun has returned to its place. Today, the place where the incident took place is called Punthuk Songo.

...****************...

Between the darkness of night. Kalimakara wearing a kelana mask was sitting on the throne. Not long after, a black ray floated in the air. He landed right in front of Kalimakara. A mysterious figure reappeared.

Now it seems clear how it looks. His body was stout and tall with muscles visible on his arms and chest. The mysterious figure was named Ditya Kalandaru. He stared intently at Kalimakara.

“How dare you! finish off the Ditya at my place.” her tone raised.

Kalimakara propped up his chin with his hand.

“All that Ditya is mine. I can kill them anytime.”

“But why did you have to finish them off at Pancapratala? Makes me lose face among the other Ditya. Really too.”

Kalimakara was calm and leaned his head on the throne.

“Every action I take has to have its purpose.”

Ditya Kalandaru laughed cheerfully.

“If so, what is your purpose in saving those useless humans? Are you keeping something from me?”

“Whatever I do, do not have to tell you in detail. I am the ruler of this place.”

Hearing Kalimakara's answer, Ditya Kalandaru laughed out loud to shake the walls of the building.

“Ruler? Looks like you've forgotten yourself because you feel you have the power of the Ditya. You're just a stumbling block here. Don't feel like a special person just because the Great Raksas chose you.” Ditya Kalandaru threw a mockery.

Kalimakara calmly replied to Ditya Kalandaru.

“Oh, it seems like someone forgot who he was before becoming a Ditya like he is today. You're just a real man who was adopted by Sri Mahadana. Don't forget who you are.”

“Looking at you who are like a prankster, it's worth it that you always fail to defeat the Knights of Saka. Even kidnapping Sri Mahadana's daughter you're not becus.”

Ditya Kalandaru increasingly can not master his emotions. His hands clenched, then reached out and moved quickly towards Kalimakara. Ditya Kalandaru's hand was about to strangle Kalimakara's neck. But the Kalimakara movement is no less fast. He moved like lightning and stood his back to Ditya Kalandaru.

His hands clenched tightly. Dark light circled his fist. Then with a quick movement he extended his right hand towards Ditya Kalandaru.

“Yantra Angrok!!” he said out loud.

Suddenly Ditya Kalandaru felt a giggle around his neck. He's trying to let go. But the giggles are getting stronger. Kalimakara moved like lightning and was right in front of the Ditya. His right hand strangled Ditya Kalandaru's neck which made him angry. Until it lifts into the air. Ditya Kalandaru was in pain.

“You're the useless one here. You're just a mix of weak humans that I gave Ditya strength. So, take care of what you say before I rip your mouth off. I destroyed your power and made you prey to the Ditya.” Kalimakara said sharply.

Ditya Kalandaru complained of pain. Suddenly a black light appeared. A mysterious figure came and prostrated before Kalimakara.

“There is no point in fighting each other. Our goals are all the same. Forgive him.”

Although still covered in anger. Kalimakara let go of his strangulation on Ditya Kalandaru's neck. Ditya Kalandaru's breathing was a little stingy. The power of Kalimakara cannot be underestimated.

The mysterious figure that had just appeared rose to his feet. Staring at Kalimakara and saying, “failures that we experience come from humans that you bring from another dimension. What exactly was your purpose in bringing him here? If it's gonna keep derailing our plans?”

Kalimakara walked and sat on his throne.

“I want to make it as Knight Saka.”

Ditya Kalandaru and the mysterious figure looked at each other.

“Are you crazy? It's the same as you destroy the Ditya if you add the Knights of Saka.” protest Ditya Kalandaru.

“You don't have to worry about that. I will arrange it myself. You better carry out your plan Ditya Kalandaru.”

Ditya Kalandaru did not understand the direction of Kalimakara's conversation.

“What do you mean?”

Kalimakara smiled from behind her mask.

“Didn't you kidnap Princess Nalini for wanting to make her a container for Ditya's powerful birth? Just carry out your plan. In the past, you two were once lovers. It will be easier to get your love back. Then bring me your strong children Ha! Ha! Ha!”

Ditya Kalandaru again remembered about her past. Long before he became a Ditya. He was the adopted son of King Sri Mahadana. It had even become a talented Knight Saka. But because his ambition was too strong he chose to ally himself with the darkness. Gaining greater power and wanting to live eternally. At that time Kalimakara came and gave him great strength. But he had to be willing to turn into a Ditya.

The mysterious figure who had appeared earlier agreed to the plan. Then they both disappeared into the darkness. Leaving Kalimakara alone. After the death of his two allies. Kalimakara walked and looked at the sky so dark.

In the past he remembered, The Great Raksas gave his blessing. Gave strength as it is today and become the ruler of darkness. His ambition to be the strongest in the universe will be fulfilled. Just wait for the time and get Tirta Amerta.
