Shivaratri: Destroy the Darkness

The Story of the Knights Saka

*In the palace of Purawan Kingdom*.

Ganendra and Princess Nalini were well received by King Parwa. Both were treated until they healed. King Parwa who is still the uncle of Princess Nalini listened carefully if they could come to the Purawan Kingdom. Including the story behind the presence of Ganendra who came to Swastamita.

“So, are you really from another world?” ask King Parwa.

Ganendra clenched both hands in the chest, “right Gusti.”

Slowly, Ganendra began to understand courtesy when facing the king at Swastamita. He also began to apply it, except with Princess Nalini. He's not very polite.

King Parwa stroked his beard which began to whiten.

“The King of Darkness seems to want to master the Swastamita by using Tirta Amerta. If left unchecked, this would be very dangerous. Worth it a while ago. Kanda Raja Sri Mahadana sends a message so that the kings in Swastamita have a big meeting.”

“Uncle king, there are still many Ditya out there that we must destroy. They're very dangerous. We tried to beat Ditya Kalandaru. However, he was resurrected by Ditya Gorawangsa. Not to mention coupled with troublesome twin Ditya.” said Princess Nalini.

King Parwa sighed deeply, “it looks like this will be heavy.”

“Hamba will fight to help the Knights of Saka destroy the Ditya.” said Ganendra while clenching both hands in the chest.

“Good young man. If every young man has a determination like you and shoulder to shoulder. Then beating Ditya as strong as anything will not be difficult.” said King Parwa.

The king was silent for a moment. Until he remembered something.

“I remembered a lontar. The legacy of the previous king. You guys, come with me.” take King Parwa.

The three men then walked towards a place guarded by several guards. A place to store weapons or throwers written by the king in the former Purawan Kingdom.

In a place illuminated by several torches. Ganendra saw several lontars arranged neatly on a wooden shelf. Beside her, Princess Nalini took a look at the room. His steps slowly followed to where King Parwa was walking. Until the King stopped in a special room. He opened the door made of gold-plated copper.

The sound of the door opening was heard slowly. Right in front of there, there was a chest that seemed to sparkle with the light of the fire torch. King Parwa opened the chest. Take something in it. Then leave it to Ganendra.

“This is a lontar relic of the previous king. It is said that one of the gods wrote it himself.” said King Parwa.

Ganendra took it, observing the lontar slowly.

“Perhaps, we can find something here.” heard the voice of Princess Nalini flow slowly.

Ganendra nodded his head. Then read the words that were in his hands. The script used was exactly the same as the inscription on Luweng Braholo that he had found first.

The contents of the lontar that Ganendra read.

*Niat******awiwiti*….

*A long time ago, during a feud between the Son of Mahadeva named Raksas the Great against the gods in Kahyangan. Tirta Amerta which was taken by Raksas Agung was successfully recaptured by the God of Natural Balancing. Sang* Cakra Weapon *God Padmanaba managed to slash the head of Raksas Agung. His head wanders in no direction. Spreading wrathful angkara on Swastamita*.

*That's why, the Gods helped to train humans to fight the wrathful cavalry spread by the Great Raksas. The man who was trained was called the Knight Saka. Just**Seclected Knights of Saka are aware of the existence of Tirta Amerta. The holy water of immortality.The Holy Tirta of Amerta is able to make a person immortal. Only the Knights of Saka who came from another world were able to take Tirta Amerta*.

After reading the contents of the lontar, Ganendra immediately prepared. So it's been true all along. Kalimakara wanted Tirta Amerta to live eternally.

“How? Are there any important leads?” ask King Parwa and Princess Nalini at the same time.

A heavy sigh rang out from the handsome young man.

Heard Ganendra's words. Princess Nalini and King Parwa gasped and looked at each other.

“This cannot be allowed. Me and Ramandamu will gather the strength of the Knights of Saka from various regions to attack Kalimakara as quickly as possible.” said King Parwa as he walked out.

King Parwa rushed to send a message to King Sri Mahadana to immediately hold an urgent meeting.

Ganendra was with Princess Nalini who was still in the room. Seeing a flash of light coming from the lontar and something behind Ganendra's clothes. Ganendra immediately took it out. Apparently the inscription was glowing forming a line. If combined with lontar.

“I...This...” said Ganendra and Princess Nalini stunned for a moment.

A line showing the visible direction emerged from the inscription and ejection pieces. But there was one part of the line that was broken.

“Don't..don't.i...ini..” said Ganendra gasped.

It crossed his mind, something he seemed to know. The existence of tirta amerta is indicated by latitude formed by fragments of inscriptions and lontars.

“I think, I understand. The existence of Tirta Amerta is indicated by this latitude.”

“But, there is a line that seems to be cut off.” said Putri Nalini.

“I'm sure, this broken line the answer will be found in Luweng Braholo. The main inscription place is.” replied Ganendra.

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

On the other hand, Ditya Gorawangsa growled with anger.

“Bigger! How could you hand the piece of inscription over to Ganendra?!” yells Ditya Gorawangsa.

Kalimakara who was standing in front of him looked calm.

“Khukhu…. I'm sure I'll soon find out where Tirta Amerta is. So don't criticize what I'm doing.”

“Fucking basics! Do you want to master that tirta amerta yourself?!” Ditya Gorawangsa.

Suddenly he darted quickly towards Kalimakara. Serving his claws quickly to make the wandering mask worn by Kalimakara just come off. He gave a glimpse of his face that had been covered by the mask.

A man with a scratch on his forehead. His eyes were sharp and filled with a dark aura.

“Remember who you really are! You don't deserve to be a part of the Ditya. You despicable human! Go back to your place! Otherwise, I will finish you without hesitation!” ditya Gorawangsa.

“Khukhukhu. You're the one I'm going to finish right now. But…. The feud between us will only complicate things. The most important thing now is to work together. I need your help.” Kalimakara said while wearing his mask.

“You still don't know shame! Fuckin' shit!” ditya Gorawangsa Reply.

Kalimakara reviewed a thin smile, “to achieve my goal. Why should I be ashamed. You just have to push Ganendra into a corner. Let him bring out his true strength.”

“Are you stupid?! If he's stronger isn't he dangerous?”

Again Kalimakara just commented a smile, “just do what I say. For now we need it to open the gate guarded by the Son of God Padmanaba. The gate where tirta amerta is located. Do not ask a lot and just do my orders.” said Kalimakara while laughing loudly.

Shaking the walls of the barong cave, the palace of Ditya Gorawangsa.
