The Desolate Wind Swordsman

The Sword From the Ground

For days and weeks they were in the forest. Nindiya was able to do activities as usual. It was just that he still had scars on his body, as well as his face that was still unrecognizable.

Nehan knew that in that place was quite a lot of medicinal plants. But sometimes it becomes a gateway between the human world and the supernatural world. Today they don't know where they've gone. They even entered the forest deeper. The atmosphere was foggy and there were a variety of strange sounds. Like the howls of wolves, owls, crickets and so on. It also feels so gripping there.

"Hey, you guys come back! This is not your place of human beings!" A figure of black smoke-shaped creature, all black and not visible face. Only eyes that glow green.

"You will only die at the hands of the king of jinn in this forest! Do you want to die for not listening to our advice, huhh?" A creature shaped like a skull. But it has no legs. Silvery and smoky colored silvery.

"We're looking for medicinal plants here. Why do we have to go? I visit this place so often why did you reappear today? We were just about to get to the top of the hill." So Nehan said to convince the creatures.

Because it had warned Nehan not to come out, making the two creatures angry and attacking Nehan. But Nindiya confronted the two creatures. He hit him but the creature spread into smoke. But the moment the two creatures attacked, Nindiya felt the impact of the attack. So it was thrown backwards, so hard.

"Are you okay?" asked Nehan who approached Nindiya. "Come on, shall we go on or go back there? But usually I pass by here, there's no creature."

"Hey, we're just warning you both! The king of jinn has risen again. After a hundred thousand years of being confined within this mountain, it finally broke free as well. Later, the king of the jinn will also become one of the demons that rule the three worlds."

"We better leave this place, Nehan!" nindiya said, holding back pain due to an attack from the creature.

They had only been inside for a while. Nehan raised Nindiya's body which looked weak because it had not fully healed. Nehan took Nindiya's body, and out of the supernatural world. When they had changed in the human world, they were still at the edge of the forest. Nehan continued to bring Nindiya down the hill. For not wanting to come back to face with these supernatural beings.

"We don't have to go there anymore, Nehan. Leave this face like this. Some of you said a great healer, would be able to make my face back to how it was. Even if it takes a long time, I'll wait for you." Nindiya was still carried by her own husband. At this time, the husband does not know that he is his wife. Reportedly dead by an unknown person.

They returned to Nehan's house, which had been razed to the ground. Some were buried in the ground and there was no more of Nehan's house. And the thing that makes Nehan unexpected, the former house of Nehan was overgrown with grass that is quite high. Nehan felt like he had only left the place for a month. But it's like it's been a few years.

"Why is this house like this? Is it because of the effects of the fire, making it quickly overgrown with grass and shrubs?" Nehan placed Nindiya onto a weathered log. "You just wait here!"

Nehan tried to find any items that might be left. But the grass and shrubbery made it difficult. He felt he had left the village for years when viewed from the bush and the grass was growing.

Nindiya tried to stand up. But he stumbled on a rock and made him fall on his back. While below it is a dry twig whose pointed tip position is facing upwards.

"Awh! Help me!" shouted Nindiya whose body collapsed. He felt a pain in his back and was sure that he was bleeding. He felt great pain and he felt his wounds deep enough.

Hearing Nindiya shout, Nehan immediately ran over and approached the woman. Blood flowed and seeped and entered into that dry land. The moment the healer would help, a huge explosion occurred from within the ground. Which made Nindiya thrown quite far away. So did Nehan who was thrown in a different direction.

Nindiya felt an excruciating pain due to the effect of the explosion that made her flung far back. Moreover, his blood continued to flow with his swiftness. Nehan also suffered a wound on his face because of scratched leaves reeds. He ran back to the poor woman.

"Hosh hosh hosh .. What exactly happened? Why is there an explosion?" With a breath that stinged because of fatigue. He approached the woman he had to help.

Nehan then looked to the right and to the left only to see wild plants. He turned Nindiya's body and tore off her back. Then he plucked the leaves of the bandotan that grew wildly. He took the young leaves and chewed them. Then he rubbed it against the wound on the woman's back.

"Sabarlah .. This will immediately close the wound. There was only this in sight, so I could only treat with this," he hurriedly quipped with worry. Then he looked to the right and left, no plant could help him to bandage the wound. So he took off his clothes that were already dirty.

"Ohh! Pain ..." said Nindiya, withstanding the pain. "Slowly ...." He felt better even though he was in pain. But after the wound was given that chewed leaf, the blood no longer flowed profusely. Still though, it did not close completely.

"Take this for a while. You'll be well soon after you rest. You just sit here! Maybe I'll find a more useful remedy! I hope the medicinal plants I have are still there." Nehan leaves Nindiya to look for a cure he planted a month ago.

As a result of the explosion that occurred, from the ground, there was white smoke emerging from the ground. A sword that floated above the ground with a whirlwind around it. Some of the things carried by the wind were circling the sword. Nindiya could only see it from a considerable distance away.

"That sword? Why did it come out of the ground? Is ...." Nindiya realized that it was he who made the sword appear from the ground. She did not see her husband who had disappeared behind the thickets of the bush. But he was sure that his blood made the sword come out of the ground.
