The Blue Swordsman

Generating Herb

Shortly before dawn, the situation on Mount Basanta was still quite dark, in the dim light of the star, two figures were sitting on a rock facing each other.

"It has been half a day more Patih Pramana spent in the land of stealth, the last time I saw him he seemed still difficult to get used to him. How's he doing now?" Asked one of the figures who turned out to be Wanara. The other person who was asked was of course Shenkara.

"Now he is beginning to be able to control himself, it is seen that at this time Patih Pramana is much calmer in his hermitage". Shengkara answered who had just gone to see the state of Patih Pramana in the Demon country.

"really?"

"Yes, I didn't expect him to be able to control himself so quickly" Shengkara seemed amazed by the strength and determination that Patih Pramana had, "Then are we still going to continue the plan you made?" Shengkara tried asking Wanara.

"Of course, aren't these the moments we've been waiting for all this time?" Wanara looked up at the sky, like he was remembering something.

Wanara was remembering the events in the past, himself who was then one of the Commander-in-Chief who led the stealth forces. It was a war when the Demon King and the Sastrican Warrior wanted to destroy human civilization. Almost the plan of the Demon King succeeded if only the Queen of the Carani tribe did not prevent the rampage of the Sastrika Warrior. Wanara then saw for himself the incident when the Demon King was defeated and killed by the Queen of the Carani tribe. He could not do much because he knew the power he had would not be able to fight the Queen of the Carani tribe who managed to defeat her King.

Wanara could only hide and sneak around to see what the Queen of the Carani tribe would do to the Sastrika Warrior. In hiding he finally saw if the Queen of the Carani tribe seemed to bring the Sastrika Warrior seemed to want to hide its existence. He carefully followed the Queen of the Carani tribe to a cave, when the Sastrika Warrior was brought into the cave, the Queen then destroyed the entrance of the cave. The cave was also covered in rock and earth ruins, removing traces of the presence of Sastrika Soldiers. Of the creatures that are still alive today, only Wanara knows where the existence of the Sastrika Warrior.

"What are you thinking?" Shengkara exclaimed when he saw Wanara being silent for quite a while.

Said Shenkara immediately disperse the daydream Wanara "Ah no, I just try to remember the place we will go" replied Wanara slightly stuttered.

"Do you think your plan will work?, what if Patih Pramana refuses your invitation?" Shengkara asked as he frowned.

"I would incite it, it is unlikely that someone who has a disposition like Patih Pramana will reject a power" Wanara said with confidence.

"From your story, the Sastrika Warrior is so terrible are you not afraid that in the end we too will only be one of the victims of the destruction it will create?" Shengkara tried to ask her concerns.

"Don't worry, I certainly have other plans. Come with me, it's time for me to make a move to start my plan". Wanara said while inviting Shengkara to go to the demon kingdom.

It did not take long for the two to have now reached a kingdom in a demon country, or rather the rest of the demon kingdom because now the place was no longer as grand as when it still had a King who led. When the last Demon King has been killed by the Queen of the Carani tribe, until now no one has been able to take his place. Even if there was one demon who had tried to pledge himself as the Demon King, his existence was completely unable to unite all the demons in the world. There is no longer a demon that is considered to have high magic, until it is recognized as the strongest by other demons.

One of Wanara and Shengkara is actually considered a demon who deserves to lead the demon race. But both of them are not interested at all, they do not like to appear in front of them prefer to play behind the scenes, planning something and instigating is their expertise. For both of them to be Demon Kings would only make them hunted by the people, or even by the demon race itself. Of course such a thing they have calculated, if they have to choose they both prefer to be royal advisors.

Shengkara was shocked by what Wanara had done,

"What room is there?, I never know if there's a secret room in this kingdom"

"Follow, in there is a place where the previous King keeps his heirlooms". Wanara answered who had walked into the secret room.

Shengkara followed Wanara in, and the secret door closed. Shengkara could see that in the room he entered was now displayed lined with dozens of weapons and strange objects that he had never seen.

"Why did you come in here" asked Shengkara.

Wanara seemed to smile, "Just look and pay attention to what I'm making" she replied in mystery.

Shengkara then noticed every thing Wanara did, he could see if Wanara currently seemed busy choosing some objects in the secret room. All of these things were then put into a pot in the middle of the room.

"These objects were once held or used by the King of the demons" Wanara explained as he put some kind of liquid into the pot with the objects and weapons in it.

Shengkara now knew that Wanara was making some kind of potion, but what kind of potion would she make Shengkara did not know at all. He can now see if Wanara is chanting a spell, then remove the object from his pocket, the object is round like a pearl and black.

When the black pearl was inserted, slowly from the pot came out smoke, the liquid inside also seemed to start hot. The longer it seems to start boiling and the hotter to melt all the objects and weapons in it.

Shengkara watched everything Wanara did in amazement. When finally the smoke began to disappear and the liquid in the pot began to cool and shrink, Wanara then poured the liquid he made into a small jug that had been prepared.

"This is the plan I made, hopefully this potion will work" Wanara said when he finished his work.

"What is that banquet? And what are you gonna do with that potion?" Shengkara asked curiously.

"This is a powerhouse potion, I will give this potion to Patih Pramana when he has completed his hermitage" Wanara said with a sly smile at the tip of her lips.

Shengkara now understands Wanara's plan, he also seemed to develop a smile on his lips. They looked at each other and then laughed at the same time.
