The Blue Swordsman

Preventing Disasters

In the Carani tribal kingdom, Princess Laksmi is sitting on her throne, she is with Rajendra and the two Atmik.

"Now you have liberated the Atmic Fire, now what are your plans?" Ask the Queen of Rajendra.

"Hamba doesn't know yet" Rajendra answered truthfully.

"If you knew a disaster was about to happen what would you do?" Princess Laksmi tries to make questions to test Rajendra's way of thinking.

Rajendra was silent, he had absolutely no answer to the question Princess Laksmi asked him. He hesitantly replied, "Hamba will try to prevent the disaster".

Princess Laksmi smiled at the answer Rajendra gave her. The Queen then explained about the various possibilities that a person usually does when for example only he knows of the coming of a disaster.

"You can tell people that disaster is coming soon, but the chances of being trusted are very small and maybe people will even think you are crazy. And even if you manage to convince people of the impending disaster, it might even cause their panic and confusion".

Princess Laksmi paused for a moment, then stood up from her throne and continued her speech, saying,

"There is also someone who will choose to let the disaster come then he will fight the disaster for people to judge him as a hero, but of all that is best if there is someone who secretly does something to prevent the disaster comes selflessly even though others judge what he does is stupidity or madness".

Rajendra listens to Princess Laksmi's words and tries to understand them, thinking that even though he knows the disaster is coming, Rajendra has no plans to prevent it. Other than himself did not know the figure that would bring the disaster but of course he also did not know his current existence.

"Is there a hint from the Princess so that the servant can prevent the disaster?" Rajendra asked trying to find an answer to his thoughts.

"At this time I don't know who will bring disaster where and what his plan is, but the greatest possibility is that he will attack the kingdom that now controls this country. So the best plan you have to do is stay near the center of the Shaminari kingdom". Princess Laksmi replied with a hint.

Rajendra nodded his head in approval of the opinion that entered his mind.

"But if the coming disaster turns out you can not prevent it completely, say and bring the survivors to go to the south of this country. The place is precisely named Sentani village there is someone who has made a plan to face the coming disaster. You will find something interesting when you come to the village" continued Princess Laksmi.

"So there are others who know about the disaster that may be coming soon? If I could know who that man was?" Rajendra asked curiously.

"He is the former ruler of this country, Prabu Widyatmaka". Princess Laksmi replied

Rajendra was a little surprised to hear Princess Laksmi's answer, the memories of the war he had been through also immediately loomed in his mind. Rajendra recalled that he had once felt the defeat of war while on the side of Prabu Widyatmaka in the great war that occurred. But if Rajendra finally has to fight together again, this time defeat is not an option. Because the war struggle this time is not just fighting for power but more to maintain the survival of humanity.

"Well, I will remember everything you ordered to the Princess' servant" Rajendra replied.

The three of them immediately went from the sky island to return to the village of Wiyati, before leaving Rajendra was given some gold coins by Princess Laksmi.

"Use the money for your needs while living around the Shaminari kingdom" Princess Laksmi said when giving the gift.

Rajendra accepted it reluctantly, but the Princess seemed to be adamant and did not accept a rejection.

"Can you fly from here to get down to the village down there?" Ask Rajendra to Agnigara.

"If it's to go down I'm sure I can" replied Agnigara steadily.

Rajendra nodded at Agnigara's reply, they immediately darted and flew towards the village of Wiyati. It did not take long they had arrived near the hole of the former Prabatatunu mountain, on foot and then to the village head's house.

Rajendra's arrival was greeted by Dhipa, the head of Wiyati village, who was still awake that night.

"Oh you're leaving?" Dhipa said when Rajendra came to pick up Ranu.

"Yes sir, thank you very much for the kindness of my father to accept my students to stay at my father's house all this time" said Rajendra by posting his body.

"Ah that is nothing, do not you feel sad" replied Dhipa with a smile. He then invites Rajendra to enter, while he calls Ranu to come out. Rajendra rejected the offer and chose to wait outside only. When finally Ranu who turned out to be asleep was awakened, he seemed happy to hear the news that Dhipa brought, with pleasure he immediately ran out to meet his teacher.

"Teacher is back" he said when he saw Rajendra in front of the house.

"Yes, now we have to go from here to continue our journey" Rajendra replied with a smile, he also felt happy to see the student who became his first travel companion.

"Where are we going now, teacher?" Ranu asked who seemed to be happy about going to a new place again.

"Later you will know for yourself" replied Rajendra who did not want to say his purpose because there is Dhipa beside him.

"Alright, I will take our things for a moment" replied Ranu as he walked into his bedroom.

Rajendra is now thinking whether to tell him about the possibility of an impending disaster on Dhipa. After thinking for a long time, he said,

"I will leave soon, if one day you hear or see something very bad, I asked my father to go with the people he could take to a village in the south of the country. The name of the village is Sentani village". Rajendra's message to Dhipa without telling him what he meant.

Dhipa was still dumbfounded to hear a remark from Rajendra, he felt confused by the meaning of Rajendra's words.

"Bad thing? What bad things do you mean?" Ask Dhipa hesitantly.

Rajendra is now confused to explain his point, there is no way he can tell Dhipa what he knows.

"That's just a possibility, just remember the message I said"

Although still confused Dhipa then nodded his head "Well I will remember your message" he replied.

Ranu who had finished packing had appeared, they then paid their respects to the host. Dhipa also let go of his guests, he was still standing at his door until Rajendra and Ranu disappeared from his sight. In curiosity and wonder he said in his heart "Sentani Village, I have never heard the name of the village" despite being shrouded in doubt, he had planted the name of the village in his memory.
