Shivaratri: Destroy the Darkness

Entrapped

The sound of roars mixed with weapons clashing against each other. The pain sounded deafening. In the night with the moon swallowed by the king of darkness. There was terror in the royal palace of Ayodya. The Ditya attack and devour merciless royal warriors.

Actually some of the Saka Knights from the territories in the Kingdom of Ayodya, who had reached the level of Sapta and Nawa had been recruited as bodyguards in the palace. But most of them are being tasked with helping villages that are experiencing monster attacks. Due to the last few days, there have been successive attacks by Ditya in the territory of the Kingdom of Ayodya. It even spread to other kingdoms.

Now, the situation in the palace is getting messy. There were only warriors and a few Saka Knights guarding the palace. Sri Mahadana, who held the reins of power growled furiously until it hit the table in pasewang.

“Bigger!!! The Ditya had dared to enter the palace of Ayodya. Finish them all!” the order of King Sri Mahadana was filled with anger.

The Saka Knights led by Bimantara clenched both hands in the chest.

“Sendika dhawuh Gusti Prabu. Slave will finish off all Ditya.” he said receiving orders.

Then some of the Saka Knights guard King Mahadana. While Bimantara with the other Saka Knights rushed towards the south side of Ayodya palace. Where reports say the Dityas are messing around there.

*On the Government of Ayodya*.

A black light floated in the air. Then landed and some Ditya appeared. They are the incarnation of the Saka Knights of Medangwangi. The Ditya growled savagely. The soldiers and Knights of Saka who were assigned to guard at Keputren were aghast at Ditya's arrival. The more powerful Bimantara and Saka Knights were deployed to the south side of the palace. Apparently this is a diversionary strategy.

The Ditya went on a rampage and finished off the soldiers on guard. The Saka Knights guarding the Keputren defend desperately in the face of attack. But they seem overwhelmed. Until some Ditya managed to penetrate the defense and go inside. Dragging one of the young girls who is none other than the daughter of King Sri Mahadana named Princess Nalini.

“Let me go!!! Basic Sitya disgusting!!” he shouted while struggling.

The Ditya roared as he clutched Princess Nalini's hand. The princess looked frightened.

“A... what.... will I be your food?”

A fear gurgles from his face.

One of the Saka Knights who saw his lord being brought by Ditya moved quickly. Then kick Ditya who holds the hand of Princess Nalini. The Ditya collapsed and before rising was directly slashed by him by the sword.

“Princess? Are you okay?” ask the Knight.

Before Princess Nalini could answer. Unwittingly a sharp claw pierced the Knight's back until it penetrated into the chest. Fresh blood spurted until it hit the body of the Princess. Princess Nalini screamed in fear. Witnessing the horror right before his eyes. Some Ditya again clutched the hands of the Princess. Princess Nalini could only scream for help.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" there was the sound of deafening laughter from a mysterious figure that suddenly emerged from a black radiance.

His figure was wearing a black robe and a hood on the head. He looked at Princess Nalini with a grinning smile.

"Bring the woman! Make him a container. The perfect woman to give birth to a strong Ditya."

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" the laughter exploded again.

Until an axe whirled almost about it.

It was fortunate that the mysterious figure swiftly dodged. Until shortly after, several arrows shot through the bodies of the Ditya. They died instantly.

"Bad!! Who would dare to do this?!" ask the mysterious figure with a face full of anger.

Several footsteps moved in towards Keputren. They were none other than Sadana and Soma accompanied by Buyut Bawada. Although his third wound had not healed properly, they still went to Ayodya. Following the messenger that Buyut Wengkeng sent to ask for help. But not back yet. Worrying something happened. They rushed to Ayodya.

Sadana and the others arrived on time. Considering Ayodya's palace is being attacked by Ditya's herd. Sadana jumped into the air. It moved like lightning and precisely stood in front of the mysterious figure. The mysterious figure chuckled.

"Aah! Knight Saka from Medangwantu apparently. Prepare to be the prey of the starving Ditya."

After saying his sentence. Some of Ditya directly gang up on Sadana. The burns on his body still hurt. But his fighting spirit never faded. Sadana wants to become the strongest Saka Knight until she reaches the Dasa level later.

Two men attacked. The cudgel in their hands swung about Sadana. His body responded quickly. Both of his hands resisted the bludgeon attack that Ditya had launched. Then pushed with all his might until two Ditya toppled over. His swift movement like lightning combined with the throwing of his axe. Making the two Ditya who fell immediately beheaded. Black blood spurted out. The other day growled and attacked Sadana at the same time.

On the other hand, Princess Nalini who was dragged by another Ditya was blocked by Soma. Soma was forced to use his left hand to hold the arrow. While leaping into the air he released three arrows at once. Making Ditya who gripped the hand of Princess Nalini died instantly. Unfortunately, his two arrows were still missing. Because his left hand has not played the arrow.

Buyut Bawada did not stay silent. He moved quickly and struck a few Ditya with his death blow.

Blam it!

Blam it!

Ditya lay helpless. Princess Nalini who escaped from the clutches immediately hid. Soma and Buyut Bawada are still busy overcoming some Ditya. So too with Sadana. A mysterious figure scanned his surroundings. Princess Nalini he was about to take with him was not there. The Ditya herds that he led began to be in disarray due to the attacks launched by Sadana, Soma and Buyut Bawada. The mysterious figure growled. Anger enveloped him. It doesn't fit with what was planned.

As Sadana and the others were preoccupied with facing the Ditya herd. Princess Nalini walks around. Stay away from Keputren. Don't let him get caught by the Ditya. His goal was to meet his ramanda King Sri Mahadana. As he was sneaking around he suddenly collided with someone. Both are terrified. The fear that they hit was Ditya.

"Yahoo!!! There go! Stay away from me you disgusting ditya!" scream Princess Nalini while closing her eyes.

"Hey?! I'm not Ditya. Don't call me carelessly." reply to the voice across.

"What look-look?! Have you never seen a person who's this physical?" sniffed someone in front of him. That man was none other than Ganendra Abhirawa.

Ganendra apparently joined Sadana's entourage to the Kingdom of Ayodya.

"Who are you?" ask Princess Nalini.

"There is no need to know who I am, which is clear I am not Ditya." replied Ganendra.

Then he continued his sentence.

"I heard that in the palace of Ayodya there were many great Saka Knights. Where are they? I want to ask you something."

Princess Nalini looked cynically at Ganendra.

"Basic is useless! Just go there! If you come for something that doesn't matter." replied Princess Nalini.

Princess Nalini's loud voice makes Ditya who pursues knowing her whereabouts.

Roaaar!!!

They roared and ran towards Princess Nalini. Princess Nalini was frightened and hid behind Ganendra.

"Whoever you are, you must protect me."

"Why should I protect you?" ask Ganendra astonished.

He had yet to figure out the true identity of the young woman he was with.

"I'll give you a lot of gifts. Whatever gold piece I have it all. But protect me lest the disgusting Ditya catch me."

Hearing that woman would give him a lot of gold pieces. Ganendra smiled widely. In his mind, like a proverb while diving drink water. He imagined that he would get a piece of gold doubled.

"alright... Leave it to me." replied Ganendra excitedly.

Ganendra immediately advanced against the Ditya. Cakaran Ditya swung towards Ganendra. The young man swiftly lowered his head and rolled to the other side. The other day swung the mace, but with a swift Ganendra dodged. Then give a counter-attack with his left hand. The one he hit didn't budge at all. Ganendra had hit him with all his might.

Ganendra shook his left hand in pain. Apparently ordinary energy will not be able to hurt the Ditya. Before he could dodge a mace right hit Ganendra's body to the upside down. A groan of pain slid from his mouth.

"Please! Help me!" princess Nalini's screams sounded loud.

Some Ditya had already caught and dragged him.

"Damn!!! Fucking monsters! Don't bring my gold fields!" yelled Ganendra annoyed.

Then stood up and followed towards Princess Nalini. Ganendra ran and stood behind Princess Nalini while pulling the Princess from the clutches of Ditya.

"Yeah!! You perverted man! What are you doing?" his screeches.

Ganendra realized that the one he held was right above the two twin mountains. Belongs to the Princess. Ganendra regained his senses and hurriedly let go. He looked instead at his left palm that had accidentally touched the Princess' chest.

"Eh, I really did not mean it." elak Ganendra.

Ditya dragged back the Princess. Until an arrow shot quickly hit Ditya who brought Princess Nalini. Penetrating the heart of the Ditya until it is exposed to the Lord of the Hereafter.

The dart that shot out came from Soma who had already caught up. Ditya another rampaged and charged towards Soma. But suddenly a puff of black smoke shrouded the Ditya. Ganendra tries to help the fallen Princess Nalini. But the Princess instead pushed Ganendra towards the Ditya. Making Ganendra's body trapped in a wisp of black light.

Soma who knew about it reached out his hand to help Ganendra. But it's all too late. Suddenly a plume of black smoke floated up carrying Ganendra's body and Ditya disappeared in the depths of the night.

At the same time, somewhere else. Sadana and Buyut Bawada who were facing the Ditya, saw them disappear. Along with a mysterious figure who is the leader of Ditya.

The leader Ditya disappeared when he saw the group of Saka Knights from the Ayodya palace led by Bimantara arriving.

Bimantara saw a plume of black smoke drifting and disappearing in the night sky. He's watching closely.

"Ditya Kalandaru." he muttered slowly.

Ganendra disappeared with the Ditya.
