The Blue Swordsman

Evil Mufakat

The sun that shone brightly that afternoon was as if it could not penetrate into the darkness in the deepest part of the Wanamawa forest. Patih Pramana was seen sleeping on the back of the cave, not sure how long he had rested after successfully passing the tough test he had undergone. For no apparent reason he now begins to dislike the bright conditions, maybe because the sunlight is too blinding his eyes or maybe because of the influence of black magic that he has mastered.

Wanara who was then in an invisible form seemed to be paying attention to the state of Patih Pramana, when sure if the Patih was still asleep he smiled, "I will meet him now, I will see him, I can't wait to give him this good news" he said inwardly and then disappeared.

It seemed like Wanara was going to Mount Basanta to meet Shenkara first, there was something he wanted to talk to her about something evil plan that only the two of them knew her true purpose. It did not take long he had now reached the mountain Basanta, after sweeping his gaze to check the state of the mountain he shouted,

"Shengkara where are you, come out...! I brought you news that will make you happy!!" His cry ended with an echoing laugh, as if with the sound of his laughter it would call his friend out.

Shengkara who has been the guardian of the basanta mountain for decades of course knows the presence of Wanara, even a new ant who enters the basanta mountain can know.

"I've been waiting for you, I already know what you're trying to tell me" said Shenkara who suddenly appeared in the form of a long-bearded old man. Of course it was not strange if he already knew if there was someone who had managed to master Ajian Atmaanjana, because the magic he had was enough to feel the aura that Patih Pramana emitted.

"Hwahaha.... No wonder if of course you already know if I have successfully taught the study to someone" said Wanara who looks happy because he can see his friend again.

"Who is the man who passed the great test you gave?" Shengkara asked staring intently at Wanara.

"His name is Pramana, he is currently still in my place of power and tonight I will meet you" replied Wanara staring back into the eyes of Shengkara.

"So what's your purpose now to see me?"

"I have something to talk about, I have a plan..." Wanara said in a serious tone.

The two were then seen talking about something serious, Shenkara only fell silent and occasionally seemed to nod his head.

"Are you sure the plan will work??" Shengkara asked after thinking for quite a while but still felt doubtful about the success of the plan Wanara said.

"I'm pretty sure it will work if you follow all the instructions I give, and I can't do all that alone, I need you to smooth out this plan" Wanara said trying to convince Shengkara.

"Alright, I will help you carry out that plan" replied Shengkara who now gained her faith after seeing the seriousness of Wanara's words and gaze.

Wanara also looks happy to hear the answer to his theme that he really hopes it is. Then they stared at each other and together laughed loudly, the laughter of the two echoed throughout the mountain expelling some birds from the trees which then flew away. It was as if the birds could sense the omen of danger that the two were planning.

Satisfied with his success in reaching a diabolical consensus with Shenkara, Wanara was pleased to return to the Wanamawa forest. Shengkara let him go and let go of his friend with a small smile. A meaningful smile, a cunning smile in each other's hearts together said "the end of time for revenge is coming soon".

Dusk had passed when Wanara finally returned to the cave where Patih Pramana was, he had found the Patih who had been awake from his sleep.

"Therefore, now I feel very ready to meet Shenkara to get the knowledge he has" replied the Patih while standing from his seat. He was then seen moving his entire body to relax his muscles, "How long have I been asleep?" He asked then, because he had never felt his body feel as strong as it is today.

"Maybe two or three days sir, I'm not so sure" said Wanara lying, when in fact the Patih had been asleep for a week, it was he who told the demons to give the potion to drink the coach in order to fall asleep.

Patih Pramana just kept quiet to hear the answer, because actually he also felt that he did not care so much about the time he had spent resting. All he knew, right now he felt that his strength had recovered and his spirit was back on fire.

"I am ready to master the science of Candanisukma that Shenkara will teach, so send me to meet him now" Patih Pramana said as he walked out the hut.

"Let's wait a while longer, sir, at least until the night is late enough. Because you do not have to worry anymore about the time you will spend on the trip to Mount Basanta" replied Wanara trying to buy time.

"You mean?"

"After a fairly late night, I will take you quickly to Mount Basanta to meet with Shenkara, if now I am worried it is still too early for him to see a guest" Shengkara replied lying.

Patih Pramana just clicked to hear Wanara's answer, he had always felt the most dislike to wait. But even if he insisted on leaving now, his time would also run out on the journey. With a slight annoyance he then said, "bring me some wine to accompany me to spend some time".

" Good sir, I will immediately bring the best drink" replied Wanara who was happy to be able to calm Patih Pramana.

Soon Wanara had brought a drink ordered by the patih in several bamboo tubes. He then sat beside the Patih and accompanied him to spend drinks while waiting for the night to get late.

When the last of the bamboo tubes was empty, Patih Pramana looked up at the sky after confirming that the moon was just above him and said,

"It's late enough for us to get to Mount Basanta now?" Said Wanara who understood the gelagat shown by Patih Pramana with his gaze to the sky.

"Hemh.I can't wait to see him" replied the Patih as he stood up from his seat excitedly.

"Let's take the master there now, I think he is also waiting for our arrival" said Wanara who also stood and walked ahead of Patih Pramana. After walking out the gubug he also looked towards Patih Pramana who walked following him.

"Now hold the shoulder of the servant, I will take you to Mount Basanta quickly. And you better close your eyes, sir...!" Wanara reminded the Patih.

Without many words Patih Pramana also followed all Wanara's orders, he was now seen behind Wanara and held his shoulder. Not knowing what was going to happen, he closed his eyes. Wanara turned to make sure that Patih Pramana had closed his eyes, and then the two disappeared, leaving behind a puff of black smoke that slowly faded and then vanished.
