The Blue Swordsman

Mythological Truths

Seeing the change in the figure he was about to attack a moment earlier, Rajendra was more curious to repeat his question that had not been answered, he said,

" Who are you really? "

" The name of the servant Riswana, the servant is the guardian spirit of the forest "answered the figure introducing himself.

"Guardian of the forest?, Then why did you attack the man who entered this hill?" Rajendra asked again, still in the position of the sword in his hand.

" Please sir, it is not the servants who attack them but they are the ones who try to attack and capture the servant "Riswana replied trying to explain.

Rajendra was silent trying to think and observe, feeling no more threat from Riswana he also put a sword in the sheath.

" captured you? Explain mean? " Tanya Rajendra did not understand what Riswana meant, because what she said was not like the stories heard from the people of Maruya village.

" I'll try to tell you everything, sir "Said Riswana and then tell a mythical truth,

A long time ago when humans fought each other for power. The world is so chaotic, many forests are burned, the dense air polluted by smoke, river water and soil polluted by blood and corpses. Seeing the amount of damage inflicted by humans makes the gods feel terrible about the state of the world, so they give spirit to the forest, water, fire, land and air.

From it created the Riswana spirit of the forest, Nadinari spirit of water, Agnigara spirit of fire, Darani spirit of land and Bayurajata spirit of air. The incarnation of each spirit was different Riswana in the form of a white wolf, Nadira in the form of a green snake, Agnigara became a golden tiger, Darani in the form of a red fox and Bayurajata a silver eagle.

The gods ordered the five to maintain the balance of nature, for a moment they five managed to reduce the damage of nature caused by humans. But gradually the powerful rulers realized their presence and began to hunt down all five to take control of one of them for their own sake. Then the hunting race began, because if you can catch one of them it means that the ruler can control their power.

The world was even more chaotic when the power of the guard spirit was misused by some ruler who managed to capture them. The gods who began to realize the greed of humans became angry, the gods then sent war gods to overcome the chaos in the world. The god descended into the world in the form of a sword and that sword was the sword Lightning that Rajendra was currently carrying.

Together with a wise King named Mahesa, the god of war who incarnated in the form of a sword also managed to defeat the rulers who controlled the spirit of the guard one by one.

Peace was created and with the orders of the Gods the guardian spirit decided to be locked up and hidden in the four corners of the wind unless the spirit of the released forest guard still keep the forest with all the secrets that he know.

Rajendra listened to all the stories carefully in his heart he had time to think whether it might be the intention of his teacher who told him to wander all over the country so that he could find the sentinels.

" Why are your legs shackled? " Tanya Rajendra was curious.

" It seems that at this time some powerful rulers have known the secrets that I have brought, he said, once a servant was caught by a powerful swordsman and forced the servant to tell the existence of the other four guardian spirits that were hidden ", explained Riswana.

" Do you know what his name is? "

" Hon master, I do not know because before the servant told me everything the servant had managed to escape when the great war at that time occurred " replied Riswana while cupping his two hands.

" If your story is true is the person who became the village chief in Maruya village evil? " Tanya Rajendra started to worry about the state of her student.

" The servant cannot confirm it sir, it may be that someone else deliberately used it "

" Let the servant follow" said Riswana pleading.

" For what? " Tanya Rajendra did not understand the meaning of "to follow "on the word Riswana.

" You are the owner of the Lightning sword, and it has become my duty to serve its owner" explained Riswana.

Rajendra who began to understand also agreed to the request.

" Well, then I will set you free from the shackles at your feet" said Rajendra approaching Riswana and kneeling his hand holding the shackles at Riswana's feet trying to break the chain. With the power he had it was certainly easy to do, when the chain was successfully destroyed Riswana's face could not hide happiness.

" Thank you sir " said Riswana haru then he continued his words "we must hurry master "as soon as Riswana disappears.

Not wanting to think any longer Rajendra ran out of the hill towards Maruya village, in his heart he hoped his student would be fine. Thinking of his student's safety made him speed up his run, until he had finally reached the end of the road to the outside of the hill.

His run is halted now all he sees in front of him is Ranu and the head of Maruya village who has been tied up and held captive by the people who picked him up at the tavern yesterday. It seemed like they had indeed planned everything, one person took a step forward and said,

" It seems you survived, surrender yourself or I'll kill them "threatened someone who looks like the leader of the group.

" Who are you and what do you want? " rajendra replied firmly undaunted by the threat.

" My name is Ragnala and I've been looking for you for a long time ! " answered the man proudly introducing himself.

" What do you want then? " Rajendra replied quickly because he did not want to linger to face the arrogance of the person he was now facing.

" I want to exchange you for 100 gold pieces, you are certainly Rajendra who had made an uproar some time ago" said Ragnala clarifying his purpose.

Apparently Ragnala has long lived in Maruya village, feeling the hunt for gifts I contested by capturing Rajendra felt free by wandering without knowing the direction.he then planned a trap, and then planned a trap, it was he who had been spreading the issue of the wolf hill myth, with the issue that he spread the warriors would come to Maruya village and hope Rajendra to be one of them. And Rajendra accidentally came to the village, an opportunity that Ragnala had long been waiting for.

Taking into account if it was possible that the enemy was stronger then Ragnala made a ruse so that Rajendra could go to the hill, even if he could return at least Ragnala now had a prisoner.

" Quick turn yourself in or I kill him" Ragnala said as she pointed her sword at Ranu's neck.

Ranu's face was already pale in fear, Rajendra just silent like he was thinking or trying to calculate what he would do. Suddenly he heard a whisper of the voice "Let the servant take care of them sir ". Apparently the voice was from Riswana which was still in an invisible form. Glad that the best help had come Rajendra came forward and said,

" The arrogance has apparently blinded your eyes, you have underestimated me too much" Rajendra exclaimed to Ragnala.

Not yet finished the words Rajendra said, the fog that immediately hit Ragnala, he seemed to bounce far away and unconscious. Not yet had time to know what happened, the people of Ragnala were one by one struck by a fog that was none other than the figure of Riswana. They had all managed to settle down so quickly, Darya and Ranu who did not understand what was happening could only be stunned by astonishment.

" You guys okay? " ask Rajendra who turns out to be near them is trying to untie their charming bond, Rajendra's words disperse their astonishment.

" Yes we're fine "answer to both almost simultaneously.
