Strength Outside The Keraton Wall

Encounter on the South Coast

Lintang Rahina was asked to be on the train, during the trip to take Princess Nimas Waskita to Kotagedhe. It was run by four soldiers. More soldiers were ordered to bury Warok Barring Saloka's remains and clean up and repair the damage.

During the journey, they were all silent at first, immersed in their own minds.

Lintang Rahina herself also felt new this time in conjunction with the customs of noble families or officials. So Lintang also does not know what to do.

Although during her upbringing by Ki Penahun, Lintang Rahina was also taught adab and manners in communicating with others.

Finally, Princess Nimas Waskita opened the conversation.

"Raden, sorry, what's the name of raden and where did raden come from ?" ask Princess Nimas Waskita.

"I am Lintang Rahina, princess. I am the grandson and disciple of Ki Penahun from Mount Merbabu. And I am not a raden, daughter do not call me with raden" replied Lintang Rahina.

"Continue, raden..eh Kakang Lintang actually going where ?" ask Princess Nimas Waskita again.

"Actually I have no particular direction and purpose, princess. I was just wandering in search of life experience" replied Lintang Rahina.

"Why Kakang Lintang does not serve to the palace only. With kakang's magic, kakang can easily get a rank in the army. If you are interested, I can convey it to my father," continued Princess Nimas Waskita.

"I'm a mountain man, a fool, a princess. I do not deserve to serve in the palace" replied Lintang again.

"Hi hi hi hi..the back is too low," said Princess Nimas Waskita as her hands covered her mouth while chuckling.

The mood was quiet again. Without feeling it has been almost half a day the group of Princess Nimas Waskita traveled. Luckily, during the trip there are no more distractions, so the trip can be smooth and fast.

Just in the afternoon, Princess Nimas Waskita's entourage entered Kotagedhe. The train stopped in front of a pendopo that was not too big.

Because he felt his duty to escort the trip at the request of Princess Nimas Waskita was completed, Lintang was said to continue the journey.

"Why didn't Kakang Lintang wait, to meet my father ?" princess Nimas Waskita.

"Thank you princess" replied Lintang Rahina.

The latitude moved and stepped forward to continue the journey.

Arriving came a group of people riding horses and stopped in front of the pendopo.

"Dad," welcome Princess Nimas Waskita

.

"Nimas, have you arrived ? What happened to the other soldiers escorting you, just a little ? And who is that young man ?" ask Ki Mertani Princess Nimas Waskita's father.

"Our journey was blocked by robbers, father. And this latitude has saved me" replied Princess Nimas Waskita.

Ki Mertani gazed towards the Lintang Rahina.

"I feel a great energy from this young man" Ki Mertani said in his heart.

"Young man, what's your name and where are you from ?" ask Ki Mertani.

"I am Lintang Rahina, a student and grandson of Ki Penahun from Merbabu," replied Lintang.

"Ohh...Ki Anniversary. I've heard his name. Let's go in first" Ki Mertani asked.

"All right, Lintang. Thank you for saving my son" replied Ki Mertani.

Lintang Rahina again continued the journey. Without realizing it, the road that Lintang Rahina traveled to the coast again.

Until nightfall, Lintang Rahina arrived at a towering cliff overlooking the beach. A very long coastline with a very wide stretch of sand. As if to be a damper for the pounding of such a big wave. Parangtritis beach, as soon as the locals named it.

For some time, Lintang just stood looking at the beach from the top of the cliff. His mind remembered the incident when Lintang met the Dragon Demon queen Wilis Kencana.

Then the latitude slid down and landed right on the beach.

Back Latitude Rahina was only silent, her eyes looking towards the ocean. It was as if he was enjoying a gust of wind that made his hair and tip of his clothes wave. The waves that sometimes come wet his feet.

For a moment Lintang Rahina was like drowning in the peace of the beach atmosphere.

Until then faint Lintang Rahina heard the screams of female voices that sometimes sounded clear sometimes covered by the sound of waves pounding.

Intrigued by the sound of that screaming voice, Lintang Rahina tried to figure out where the voice came from.

Arriving at the overdraft that is almost completely surrounded by cliffs that are not too high, Latitude Rahina saw a young woman who was doing silat movements while occasionally shouting. The woman dressed as a warrior. With knee-length pants, a cloth that covers the top of which is given a belt. The right hand holds the sword.

What a beautiful sword movement. Behind the beauty of the movement of the sword moves it stores certain movements that are very dangerous.

Lintang Rahina who was very amazed by the beauty of the woman's silat movement, until stunned so unconsciously, Lintang Rahina still looked at the woman even though she was finished in practicing swordsmanship.

Until then there was a scream.

"Hi. Why do you keep looking at me. You peeked yes. You want to emulate my sword science huh ? Hayo just confessed. Before you I tell my grandfather !" sniff the woman.

"Eh.lt...that's.I...." Lintang Rahina wave in answering a series of questions from the woman. He did not think that the woman would catch him when he looked at her.

The young lady quickly arrived and stood in front of Latang Rahina. Then arrived the tip of his sword was already attached to the neck of Lintang Rahina.

"Anu anu what ? Come on kneel down and put your hands behind your head" the young lady snapped.

Lintang Rahina was more stunned after seeing the look on the woman's face up close.

A very beautiful woman. With thick eyebrows, sharp eyes. His chin is taper, his hair is long and ponytail.

"Hayo.." the woman was just about to talk again.Tiba arrived a man the same age as Ki Penahun. His body is tall and heavy. His eyes are sharp and have a big mustache. Looks very authoritative by wearing clothes like warok clothes.

"What's up, how do you scream so ? When he had finished his training, quickly go home" said the old man.

That man is Ki Ageng Arisboyo. People doing hermitage around Parangtritis beach.

Ki Ageng Arisboyo was the son of the late Majapahit. During his youth Ki Ageng Arisboyo also included members of the elite warrior 'Adhyasta Bhumi'. Formerly the leader of the first group of 'Bhumi Acalapati' who was in charge of keeping the king's safety in secret, outside of ordinary royal soldiers.

In the future, during the Islamic Mataram held by Danang Sutowijoyo or famous by the nickname Panembahan Senopati, Ki Ageng Arisboyo became the spiritual advisor of Danang Sutowijoyo.

"Grandfather, this.this young man. This young man peeked at my training. He must be punished," replied Sekar Ayu Ningrum his grandson.
