The Blue Swordsman

Ranu's Concerns

Moments before dawn, the edge of the lake in the village of Grigis was crowded by locals who came home from the middle of Lake Tirtanara to catch fish. Some boats appear to have been moored and others look to be pulled over. The conversation between them was not far from their catch, either,

"Can there be a lot today?" Asked one of the residents who saw his friend close his boat to the edge of the lake.

"Quite a lot, at least more than yesterday" replied the man who pulled the boat to the shore.

"It looks like the weather is good, if the results like this continue, the money we get is also good" said the first person with a laugh.

They finally laughed together, feeling happy with the catch of fish they got.

Ranu is awakened by the footsteps and laughter of the residents who walk home past his shackles. When Ranu has fully opened his eyes, he looks around and realizes that he is alone.

"Why hasn't the teacher come back yet?" He said in his heart he was worried.

Hearing the sound of steps approaching Ranu immediately got up and ran to open the door, it turns out only a local who was about to go home after catching fish in the lake. Ranu was disappointed to think that the footsteps were his teacher, he went out and stared at the island of Canala in his restless heart he asked "Are they okay?".

...************...

Inside a cave on the island of Canala Rajendra, which had just liberated Atmik Air, he was seen talking to Nadira.

"Hamba Nadinari Ruh Keeper of Water" Atmik said Air introduced himself when he first saw Rajendra.

"Yes I know you are surely the Atmic Water.." Rajendra said while returning the position of the sword on his back.

Nadira seemed stunned it seemed a little surprised by Rajendra's speech that knew about the name "Atmic". His astonishment instantly vanished when he saw the object in Rajendra's left hand.

"Oh.it seems that you have heard the story of the Atmics of Riswana of course, and what is the name of the master" Nadira said after seeing the White Wolf Shield on Rajendra's left hand.

"My name is Rajendra and it is true, Riswana has told me a little about you" replied Rajendra who thought that although Riswana had told me a lot about Atmik but there could be many more secrets that have not been told.

"And it seems he quite likes you sir..." Said Nadira smiling faintly as if holding back a word that she kept secret.

"You mean?" Ask Rajendra who does not understand what Nadira said.

"Hehe.no sir, just forget my words earlier" Nadira said with a chuckle. Nadira does not say anything he knows to Rajendra, a secret that only the Atmics may know.

The secret of the Atmics is that when the Atmik transforms into a weapon, the color of the weapon will be different. When the Atmics were forced or told to transform into weapons, they would be brownish-black like the color of iron in general, and the power they provided was not entirely. But when the Atmics change their form out of their own will, the weapon will be of similar color to its Atmik form and of course all the power of the Atmik is given to the weapon holder.

That is why Nadira says that Riswana likes Rajendra, because he sees the Shield in Rajendra's hands in white. The color is similar to the shape of Riswana the White Wolf. Riswana fully believed and offered the power he had for Rajendra.

"Can you fly??" Rajendra asked Nadira as he walked over.

"Fly.., of course you can..." Nadira replied stammering as he was awakened from his daydream.

"Where are you going?" Ask Nadira.

"I left my student in the village of Grigis across the lake, of course at this time he must be worried about me because I have left all night" replied Rajendra as he looked out of the cave. Shaded by Rajendra maybe Ranu is trying to find him and something Rajendra is afraid of is if Ranu desperate to bring a boat to the island of Canala. Given the nature of Ranu who is not easy to feel afraid of the possibility it could obviously happen.

"Then are we leaving now?" Nadira asked while following Rajendra who had walked towards the outside of the cave.

Rajendra did not immediately answer he continued to step out of the cave, apparently to ascertain the time at that time. When he came out the morning had come, the sunlight had already illuminated the entire place on the island of Canala. Rajendra looked around the island, he was amazed by the state of the forest on the island of Canala, it turns out the forest looks very beautiful when illuminated by the morning sun. Drowning in admiration for a moment Rajendra forgot his thoughts on Ranu, when finally he saw Nadira who was already beside him Rajendra was awakened.

"It is certainly too bright to disguise myself if you take me flying to the village" Rajendra told Nadira, of course he meant that if he flew to the village now there would definitely be at least one person who would see him. And Rajendra certainly didn't want that to happen.

"Yes I think so sir, of course if the servant takes the master flying there will be some people who see" replied Nadira understood the meaning of Rajendra's words.

Rajendra was silent, seemingly thinking of something. If he waits until dark the chances of Ranu to catch up with him to the island of Canala get bigger. Not only is he worried that Ranu will fall and drown in the lake, but Rajendra is also worried that if Ranu succeeds to the island of Canala he will get lost in the forest on this island.

Rajendra later recalled the origin of the lake, and because the island is now safe. Rajendra wants to convey to the residents around the village of Grigis not to be afraid again to come to the island of Canala.

"Of course you can change to your Atmic form, right?" Rajendra asked Nadira.

"Sure sir, do you want your servant to change now?" Reply Nadira who does not understand the purpose of Rajendra's question.

"Yes, I have a plan" Rajendra said, showing a faint smile full of mystery.

...**********...

The day is near noon, on the edge of Lake Tirtanara seen Ranu who walked back and forth while occasionally stopping and looking towards the island of Canala. He already felt very worried about the state of his teacher who did not go home, a glimpse in his mind bad things may have happened to his teacher. Unable to stem his worry anymore, Ranu ran towards the owner of the club, apparently trying to find help.

"Sir..... Can you help me?" Ranu said to the owner of the club who was seen serving several guests at his shop.

Seeing Ranu his breath hunting and a serious tone to the words he said the owner of the gubug also immediately approached Ranu, who was,

"What's going on? What can I help you with?" Ask the owner of the club trying to find out Ranu's wishes.

"Can you help me to go to Canala Island??" Ranu said explaining his meaning.

"To the island of Canala? What's for?" The man replied, unable to cover the shock on his face.

"My teacher is there, I want to go pick her up !" Ranu said in a hoarse tone trying to hold back his cries.

"What's? How come?" The owner replied more surprised.

Ranu could not answer the question, he could not explain the way his teacher went to the island, finally Ranu's shoulder seemed convulsed and began to sob and could only answer the question of the owner of the club with tears.
