The Blue Swordsman

Atmicists

After going through two days of traveling through a typical winding road of mountains, now Rajendra and Ranu have reached a place in the form of a vast plain maybe the place is the peak of the mountain road they pass.

From there they can see the extent of Lake Tirtanara, seen some boats are leaning on some edge of the lake. Meaning if the residents in the village of Grigis in addition to farming, they also catch fish to cover their living needs.

Rajendra and Ranu who had never seen such a vast lake seemed fascinated to see it, from above the water in the lake seemed to sparkle reflecting the sunlight.

" Are we going there the teacher "asked Ranu while looking at the face of his teacher who was still looking towards the lake.

" Yes we will go there "Rajendra replied without turning his head. His gaze is still attached to the lake but now his gaze is focused on the place in the middle of the lake, it turns out if noticed again in the middle of the lake Tirtanara there is a land, land, it looks like an island in the middle of a vast ocean. His premonition said that he might find Nadinari the guardian of the water there.

Ranu who was impatient to see the lake up close seemed to have darted down the steep road downhill, it was,

" Let's get the teacher there" shouted Ranu who was no longer seen by Rajendra

" Be careful, watch your steps "Rajendra replied half-calling to remind his students of the worry of seeing the steep path in front of him. For not hearing the answer from Ranu, Rajendra also told Riswana to take care of him.

" Keep and take care of him, the boy is always too excited" he told Riswana who did not show his form.

" Good sir " replied Riswana without refuting.

Ranu who did not heed his teacher's warning seemed to still be running down that road, when the road he passed turned a turn he seemed unable to stop his running because he thought he would be mired he could only scream "please...." .

One step more before Ranu fell mired, Riswana had already reached that place and managed to hold Ranu back. Shocked because his steps can suddenly stop he also looks relieved because he survived, he managed to survive,

" You okay? " Tanya Riswana.

Although Ranu did not see the form that asked him that he understood if it was the voice of Riswana, Ranu finally knew if he had just been saved by Riswana.

" Ah apparently you saved me, thank you I'm fine now " replied Ranu while looking left right because I don't know where Riswana is.

" Thank you to your teacher who worries about you he told me to take care of you" Riswana said.

Before long Rajendra had reached that place, he who faintly heard Ranu's scream immediately accelerated his pace. When she saw Ranu was fine her heart was relieved.

" What happened "he asked later.

" I was almost mired teacher, but fortunately Riswana who the teacher told me to take care of me managed to save me in time, thank you teacher "An Ranu replied explaining the incident that had just happened.

" Thank God if you're okay, now don't have to rush "Rajendra's orders to Ranu.

Some time later they had made it through a steep road and had now reached the road to the village of Grigis, from afar they could see a gubug that seemed to be a tavern. When he arrived at the restaurant that indeed opened the shop Rajendra also invited Ranu to stop for a rest there, they also took an empty seat.

" What message do you want? " Ask the owner of the store who has come to them.

" Any food and two fresh drinks" replied Rajendra.

" Well wait a minute" said the man who immediately went to prepare their order.

While waiting for his order to come Rajendra looked around and saw if the shop was also selling or maybe renting fishing equipment.

" Please, do you want to go to Lake Tirtanara to fish? " Ask the owner of the shop while placing the order on the table, of course he knows if Rajendra is a newcomer.

" No, we just want to see Lake Tirtanara up close" replied Rajendra.

" Oh, excuse me, please enjoy your meal" said the shopkeeper was a little disappointed because he could not offer the fishing gear he had.

" The freak" he said in his heart, because the tavern owner knew that most foreigners who came to Tirtanara lake were aiming to fish.

Rajendra then immediately enjoyed the dishes that had been ordered, on the sidelines of eating he had a talk with Riswana who sat in front of him without showing his form, he said, so the one who saw would not feel strange thinking he was talking to Ranu.

" So you think Nadira is in the middle of Tirtanara Lake? " Task Rajendra to Riswana.

" It is likely that sir, I can already feel the air of his existence " replied Riswana.

" So are you really a demon? "

" No sir, we are very different from the demon "

" And what distinguishes you? "

Riswana seemed speechless, then she told him things and traits that distinguished her and the demons. The guardian spirits are actually created from natural energy, they are pure energy that the spirits give out by the gods and become possessed.

The gods or those who know about them call them Atmics, Atmics can only change their form into their true form. They cannot change to imitate other creatures or figures.The Atmics also have no desire or desire in themselves so they have no desire to fight, they have no desire to fight, they will only fight if to defend themselves or protect their territory from destroyers. And the most distinguishing Atmics are not afraid of direct sunlight.

While their demons tend to desire evil, cruelty and greed are their hallmarks, without hesitation they will attack or fight to get something they want. Demons can also change their form to imitate the person they want, they usually do that to tempt or find prey to people who have been blinded by worldly desires. And the demon can only do its evil at night because they are afraid of the sun. Their bodies will burn if exposed to sunlight.

Satisfied with the long explanation from Riswana, Rajendra also understood the difference between the two. Feeling well rested and spending his order Rajendra invites them to continue the journey. After paying the order, they came out of the tavern and walked towards the lake Tirtanara which was in plain sight. Seen from where they are now the lake looks like an endless stretch of water.
