The Desolate Wind Swordsman

Banyuasih Village

Those who are too happy because they get abundant food on the banks of the river. With their expertise to process food ingredients into ready-to-eat food. Since they were already used to it in their college, used to cook by themselves.

"Do you think anyone looks happy today?" said Bayu occasionally saw Raditya who was smiling himself.

"Had Bayu, maybe he was thinking about that crazy girl. Ahaha!" the laughter of the senses that Raditya spoke of.

"Basically you pretentious friends. Who thought about that crazy girl?!" he tried to hide the suspicions of his two friends.

But still, the two friends Raditya still tease Raditya who looks embarrassed to admit it. To be honest, Raditya did like Nindiya at first sight. Apart from the beauty of her face, she also looks good as well as innocent. Even though she was a stupid girl who was in the forest. And fishing husband with gold coins in the river.

"Hehehe .. funny." His murmurs occasionally glared far there. Imagine her attitude that is unlike most women.

"What a funny woiy!" the screams of Indera shocked Raditya.

"Ehh! you just surprised me!" said Raditya with a high tone.

"Already, already. This fish is ripe. We better eat first. We will have a duty to wait," Bayu lerai to his two friends who are joking. But this is no time for jokes. Because the important task is waiting for the three of them.

They enjoyed the meal by occasionally looking at the clear stretch of the river. Many fish swim freely. Like a place untouched by man. Well this is what they call the village of Banyuasih.

A large village that has the beauty of a clear river, as well as its natural wisdom. Has an amazing breadth. So it deserves to be called the widest village in the Lokapraja kingdom.

Banyuasu. A prosperous village, before the events of fifteen years ago, this village was attacked by black warriors. Made all the inhabitants dead. And now the village of Banyuasih is only a forest. And since fifteen years ago, no one has ever lived in the village.

It used to be a very prosperous village and its people were peaceful, when a hero named Daniswara who defended desperately, the villagers. But now there are no more smiles in Banyuasih village. Banyuasih Village, only a memory for those who remember him. But who will remember the village, when all its inhabitants have become ashes after the event occurred?

There were no witnesses to the widespread massacre of the villagers of Banyuasih. Including three young men who are currently enjoying the results of their cooking, namely grilled fish and grilled yams. They were then, still studying in the Sword God college. That's why they are not allowed, even they do not know the attack on Banyuasih village. Although the location of the god sword college is on the hill. Precisely, there is still one area with the village of Banyuasih.

"We'd better get going, it's noon. But we just got off the hill. We better get out of this forest." Take Raditya to his two partners.

"It's better that way. But strangely, why are there still people in this forest? Could anyone have survived fifteen years ago? Didn't the teacher say?" said Bayu wondered, but both of his friends were equally ignorant of it.

"Maybe it's a newcomer. Like we're not from this village. But we are studying in this village. Isn't that the biggest possibility?" balas Indera.

"Well probably. But the teacher said, no one wants to live in this village. Except the disciple of 'God Sword'."

"Well, maybe he wants to go to college, or not."

The three stared at each other. Hope it's not something bad that's going to happen. It is impossible right, if the person who is still in Banyuasih village is a ghost figure? But it's impossible. Because they see with their own eyes. If the girl they meet, walk on the ground. He did not float like the ghosts their parents told him about.

"It's impossible that he's a ghost, right?" ask Sender to his two best friends.

"Ngawur aja you .... Better, we should be careful. Maybe the villagers, their spirits are still hanging around here."

"If you guys keep talking, when do we get there?" as they continued to talk, Raditya reminded Bayu and Indera.

For other reasons, there may be possibilities. Either way, but clearly, they do not know what the possibility is.

The three of them walked over while discussing about a girl they had met just now. The further they go, the more they leave the forest. They finally arrived somewhere else, which looked like there was some housing.

They immediately searched for someone who had made an appointment with them. Bayu and Indera questioned every resident who was in Papringan village. They also saw great warriors. Like a woman enjoying a meal with a young man carrying something in his cradle, but wrapped in cloth.

There are also warriors who are talking about heirlooms that are in the fields as heirlooms that have a magical power that is almighty.

"Well, we don't have to deal with them. Although there is a possibility of us winning, but we should not be rash. Let's just say, we don't see them." Raditya whispered it to his two best friends.

"Yes. I get it." Answer Bayu.

"All right, I'm okay, okay, okay." Indera held her thumb in front of Raditya.

"OK, then, better, we ask the merchant or whoever. Don't deal with warriors we don't know yet." Raditya gave his orders.

As a leader in an escort mission, it became the key to their success. Certainly not because they get paid. But because they would be honored, for escorting an important person in the Lokapraja kingdom.

After Raditya gives his advice, they split back. Raditya called them, for fear that they were dealing with a great swordsman. They would run out of time before they carried out their stealth escort duties.

"Excuse me uncle, did you see the royal entourage through here?" asked Bayu to one of the traveling merchants who were trading sugar.

"Ooh royal entourage huh? hmmm .. It looks like I saw it this morning. I think they're a riding troupe, they're probably a hundred?" the peddler tried to remember what he saw this morning.

"So morning?" ask Bayu surprised. He did not expect, it turned out that they had been late since the morning. Bayu rushed away.

"Hey wait, kid! you didn't ask where they were headed?!" shouted the traveling candy seller.

"Ooh forgot. Where are they going?" by running up to the middle-aged man, Bayu immediately questioned the existence of the royal entourage.

"They're headed for the woods. I don't know where, but they're going that way!" the traveling candy seller pointed in a direction to the forest.

"Ooh .. thank you uncle. Ohh. I finally found it.

After asking the candy seller, they walked towards the direction indicated. Their steps were getting faster, as they did not want to fall further behind with the royal entourage. At least, they could watch from a distance.
