THE FIRE EAGLE

208. Princess Serindang moon of Rejang Renah Selawi.

A sizable ship drove from Labuan to the eastern Kalianda plain of Swarnabumi.

A young man was sitting on the deck of a ship dressed in the clothes of a very simple swordsman near a jeweler.

"My relatives can sit next to the children just want to talk about eliminating boredom on the way".

"Please miss". The young man answered briefly without looking.

"Include my name Serindang moon from Rejang Renah Selawi, if you can know who Ki kanak is and where kisanak is going". The beautiful white-eyed little lady introduced herself.

(Daerah Lebong used to be named Renah Selawi, Palembang used to be as wide as leaves and Bengkulu used to be called Limau lime or River serut)

Shun land was stunned to hear Rijang's sentence he recalled the Antaka Shair swordsman's report of death, that Rejang's nobles wanted to join Tarumanagara's kingdom.

Shun land looked towards the soft voice beside him, then said.

"My name is Satria Nusa Kencana from Tarumanagara kingdom my destination wants to explore Swarnabumi land which is said to be very broad land". Shun land replied as he looked back to the front.

"This brother is going home to Rejang". Shun land probing.

"True I want to go home and trade my gemstones with two friends, Mr. Satria may I ask you something". The young girl named Serindang moon answered and asked back.

"May you please if your question I know the answer I will answer". Shun land replied briefly.

"This master swordsman comes from the kingdom of Tarumanagara have you ever met the young King of Shun land and how Good or bad nature". Princess Serindang moon asked about Shun land who was in front of her.

Shun Land did not immediately answer him looking for a sentence to answer him.

"Miss asked about the young King of Tarumanagara kingdom it seems that miss there is a need for the king, if the lady believes I am a brother, I can help the lady to meet him as long as there is a reasonable reward". Shun land asks for a reward for dispelling suspicions.

"Indeed I have a need to convey to him but I do not have enough money to pay the master, I only have a few hundred pieces of gold to supply on the way, he said, how about if my master pays when he gets to Rejang". Princess Serindang moon spoke while bowing her head.

"That's no problem, but what's Miss's relationship with the Rejang Nobles". Shun Land probed a little deep.

"Lord Satria how if now you join me if your destination wants to explore the vast land of Swarnabumi". Princess Serindang moon did not answer Shun land's question but invited Shun land to join him.

"Well I will join the lady anywayan I do not know the way and know Swarnabumi, but whether the two followers of the lady can be trusted". Shun land.

"Related master he was not actually my servant but my personal bodyguard who was assigned by my father as the head of the Rejang bang sawan". Reply princess Serindang moon.

Unlike the Moon Serindang princess who sat near Shun Land the temperature around it was so warm around Shun Land was.

Princess Serindang moon is not a girl yesterday afternoon she has known that the warm air is not natural but out of the aura of Shun land so she does not feel cold.

Seeing this young man has a high knowledge princess Serindang moon deliberately invites to join, in this case he has the advantage if on the way to be stopped by the perambok or rogues.

"Why do you believe so much in me when the lady just met me until the lady invited me to join the lady". Shun land asked wanting to know the motive behind it.

"Mr Satria has such a high knowledge, if you have evil intentions on me, you can easily do without anyone knowing and maybe from now on, Mr. Satria did, but until now I am still intact, instead the master protected me from the cold that pierced to the bone with a warm calm air so that my heart felt peaceful and safe sitting next to the master".

Serindang moon's daughter replied very precisely so that Shun land did not pause for a moment to say the words of Serindang moon's daughter.

"Miss is actually what she would tell King Shun land if she met him, I promise not to keep it a secret from anyone".

Shun land lures Serindang moon's daughter to tell her of her need to meet her.

"Master for the time being the northern region of Swarnabumi is so uncertain the security is very concerning to many distressed residents they are not free to go out for a living fear always haunts them,.....

Princess Serindang moon recounted the state of the plains Swarnabumi, since the establishment of the power that named the messenger of god from the black valley, first indeed like protecting and loving, since the establishment of power named the messenger of god from the black valley, first indeed like protecting and loving, they provided food assistance to the distressed population until the Rejang Nobles led by Ajai bitang joined.

But the kindness was just a hoax after six months they collected the first tax was not burdensome but over time the tax was very strangling the population from the merchant to the farm workers.

If anyone resisted or did not send tribute or taxes they would send warriors to punish with a very severe torture even some to death, they accuse those who resisted on charges of rebellion and antagonizing God's messengers.

This has been going on for only the last fifteen years more severe and rampant is not enough until there the robbers and robbers are mushrooming in every area of Swarnabumi not infrequently many residents have girls were taken to their palaces by force on the grounds that the court needed women to worship God.

To the peculiarity of the girls did not return to his family, what kind of worship did not allow his worshipers to meet his family.

When someone is desperate to escape they hunt for the reason that they have stolen or others.

.... that's the state of Swarnabumi now I am sent by my father to meet King Shun land who supposedly according to the news is very beranyomi and defend the truth, we intend to join and ask for help, we intend to join, we are ready to be faithful and ready to sacrifice our bodies if King Shun land accepts and helps us and the people around us,....

my goal was to come to the mainland of Dwipa but unfortunately to arrive at the kingdom of Tarumanagara we could not meet him, we were only met by his queen he could not give a decision".

Princess Serindang moon ended her story.
