The Adventures of Neu Pen'du

3. Ancestral Stone

When the seagull rang, even though the sky was still dark Namo had woken up from his sleep. He began to tidy up the entire cave from the scattered twigs and rocks, but he did not dare to clean up until he entered the area that Mr. Pendu mentioned.

Namo started throwing out the remains of the campfire overnight, and started a new campfire to warm the entire cave.

As the sun begins to rise Nonai wakes up and begins to help Namo work. After their work was done the ancient voice of Mr. Pendu echoed and the walls of the cave began to be decorated by strange green symbols again.

"Good man, thank you for this fresh air because you guys cleaned this cave"

"Lord doesn't need to thank us for our work, it's our must to have hitched a ride in your cave"

Namo and Nonai sat down and responded to Mr. Pendu.

"Hemm"

There was only a muttering sound in return from Mr. Pendu. Moments later after a rather tense silence from the couple, the ancient voice suddenly reappeared.

"Is your village under this cliff?"

"Truly sir"

Namo answered quickly afraid to make Mr. Pendu angry.

"Oh.. What is the name of your chieftain now?"

"Najo is our chieftain now Sir"

"Najos? Do you know Nebo?"

Hearing the name Nebo discussed by Mr. Pendu made Namo and Nonai's back creep.

Who's Nebo? He was the ancestor of the tribe where Namo lived, Not only that Nebo also founded the Village.

"My master knows Ancestor Nebo"

"Our ancestor? Is Nebo dead?"

The ancient voice of Lord Pendu felt agitated after saying this.

"Sorry sir, that's what happened already 3000 years ago our Ancestor died" Namo quickly replied out of fear.

"It turns out he can't get through that.."

The muttering of Mr. Pendu made Namo and Nonai confused, it seemed like this Pendu Master was familiar to their ancestors, but they did not ask that out of fear that Mr. Pendu was angry.

The silence began to light up again, it seemed like the mysterious figure was thinking about the thing that made Namo and Nonai not want to disturb him, tens of seconds passed suddenly the sound of crying babies heard.

Their baby woke up from his sleep shocked the couple, for fear of angering the thinking Mr. Pendu.

Without thinking much more, Nonai got up and held her baby and calmed her down.

There was another voice of Mr. Pendu, Nonai who while carrying the baby became worried.

"Who's your baby's name?"

Mr. Pendu paid no heed to the couple's worries and asked.

"Our baby names don't yet have a master, because we haven't held a name ritual on the ancestral stone"

The ancestral stone is a mystical place, no one knows where it came from, no one knows it even though the chief from generation to generation ago.

Perhaps Nebo's ancestors were the only ones who knew, but there was no story to tell.

The Ancestral Stone was very mystical and magical, every descendant of the tribe had a name derived from the stone.

When there is a newborn baby, the parents of the baby must hold a ritual on the ancestral stone, because something magical will happen.

The stone was large with a height of 4 meters and a width of 7 meters, after the ritual was completed there was a name carving on the stone wall and their entire baby's body suddenly shone, like getting a blessing from heaven, Carving the Name of the stone is what will become the name of the baby.

All residents in the village perform the ritual to get blessings for their children. Blessing is very special, babies who have received a blessing will be like baby fish at birth immediately swim if off in the sea, it is because of this blessing that the name of everyone in the village comes from ancestral stones to make it easier for them to find food in the sea.

But a long time ago there was a couple who did not perform the ritual to name their child, and give the name of their own essay.

As a result, their children when growing up like the garbage of the community, because the majority of villagers are fishermen to catch fish and various kinds of marine biodata. They must be able to swim and survive in the sea.

But no matter what method he did as an adult, he was like being rejected by the sea. He just couldn't swim then drowned while riding in a boat to watch as he kept seasick, vomiting all the time and stopping vomiting as he leaned back on land.

He had once performed a ritual to get a new name from the Ancestral stone but still the stone did not respond.

It is thanks to this that all villagers do not dare to make mistakes like the couple, or their children must get calamities like the poor man.

But heaven still pitied the boy, although he could not work as a fisherman he could still be a ritual fish cultivator to atone for his parents' sins.

-----

"There's a lot you have to prepare for the ritual so we can only wait for the flood to finish"

"Ritual 7 fish colors?"

"True Mr. Pendu, the 7 fish have different colors and appear in different seasons as well, which is why we can only buy the fish in a ritual fish cultivator, which is why we can only buy the fish, therefore I can only go to sea to get enough fish to buy 7 fish"

"A rotten thing that can't change his appetite"

Namo and Nonai were shocked by Mr. Pendu's muttering, however, they were initially surprised when Mr. Pendu found out about the ritual material and were even more surprised because of Mr. Pendu's murmur at this time as if he knew the origin of the ancestral stone.
