The Heirloom of the Catastrophe Spreader

Horsemen in the Midnight

Slowly the crossing ship owned by Mpu Nala docked to the Port of Hujung Galuh. With the help of two small ships, the large ship was slowly towed to the edge of the dock before a large mine tied the ship to the port piles.

One by one the passengers of the crossing boat rushed down from the boat by passing the stairs that had been prepared. Two of Mpu Nala's men rushed to the horse-drawn carriage shelter beside Syahbandar's house at Hujung Galuh port.

While waiting for their luggage to be dropped off, Arya Pethak invited her friends to take shelter under a shady tree not far from the dock.

Nirmala stared at the open sea as if staring at Madura Island from there. Anjani rushed over to her.

"Are you worried about your decision, Nirmala?", Anjani smiled faintly as she glanced at the cute black beauty.

"Sengko never regretted the decision, tretan..

I just want to stare at my homeland before leaving for good" Nirmala said as her eyes continued to gaze out into the open sea. A thread of tears dripped from the corner of his clear eye.

"Then you don't have to be sad anymore, Nirmala. Now we are your new family.

Let's get together with them", Anjani immediately pulled Nirmala's hand and they immediately gathered together with Arya Pethak, Klungsur and Nay Kemuning under a shady tree.

After all their luggage was dropped, Raden Wira Ganggeng immediately invited the group to leave the port of Hujung Galuh after thanking Mpu Nala. They immediately rushed to a large restaurant in the Duchy of Hujung Galuh City for breakfast.

While eating their food, Arya Pethak expressed her intention to return to Kadiri.

"I'm sorry, Raden.

After this allow me and my friends to go back to Kadiri. For a long time I wanted to visit my parents in Bukit Kahayunan.

Because this is sorry if we can not take Raden Wira Ganggeng back to the Duchy of Yellow Flower" said Arya Pethak while staring at the face of Raden Wira Ganggeng.

Mmmmmm..

"I understand what you're feeling, Brother Pethak. I'm also thankful enough for all the help you've given me all along.

If one day pass through the Yellow Flower Duchy, stop by the palace. The door of the Kadipaten Kembang Kuning palace is always wide open for you.

I'm giving this not a reward for what you've done, Brother Pethak. Please accept it for your return journey to Kadiri" Raden Wira Ganggeng said as he held out two bags of silver and gold to Arya Pethak.

"Thank you Raden Wira Ganggeng. Then we beg to withdraw. See you later in the day" said Arya Pethak as she received a cloth bag containing silver and gold kepeng then handed some of the money to Anjani who had been holding Arya Pethak's finances. The student of Mpu Prawira bowed respectfully to Raden Wira Ganggeng before rushing out of the restaurant followed by Nay Kemuning, Anjani, Klungsur and their new traveling companion, Nirmala who got a horse gift from the prince Kembang Kuning.

Raden Wira Ganggeng gazed towards the departure of Arya Pethak and his comrades who kicked their horses towards the south.

Dust flew along their horse's footsteps.

Out of the Duchy of End Galuh City, the group continued to move towards the south. Half a day's journey to Kahuripan. The big city that was once the capital of a large kingdom is still seen as crowded even though it may not be as crowded as before when it was still the capital of the kingdom of Jenggala.

Dozens of people passed by on the highway that divides the city of Kahuripan into two parts. Hundreds of large buildings of former houses of officials still stand firmly on the sidelines of new buildings that have sprung up. Although many people have moved to the capital of Singhasari Kingdom, but the population of this city is still counted crowded, not even inferior to Duchy City such as Matahun and Bojonegoro.

"Where are we going Ndoro Pethak? Go straight home to Kadiri or still want to go somewhere else?", asked Klungsur while chewing grilled chicken meat in his message after Arya Pethak stopped their journey in a food stall.

"If I want to know the crowd of the Royal Capital of Singhasari, Sur..

We'll just go straight south. Let our insights become broad. Mumpung we are still young we have a lot of experience" replied Arya Pethak who spoke while enjoying her favorite grilled catfish.

"Again Kakang..

I heard the capital of Singhasari Kingdom is very crowded. There's no harm if we see her", Anjani was immediately pleased. He had other goals for Singhasari but did not dare to say so.

"Nay Kemuning, Nirmala..

What do you think?", Arya Pethak turned her eyes to two beautiful girls who were busy eating lunch with her.

"Abdi Tehad said Akang Pethak..

Tree and tea live dead Nay come with Akang", said Nay Kemuning immediately.

"If sangko also come, Den Arya. Because he had a pese' Den Arya hehehe", Nirmala spoke with her typical Madurese accent while chuckling.

"Huh the base of the duitan eye..

Just like men who have money, women are always subdued", muttered Klungsur lirih but still heard clearly by Nirmala.

"Ehh, that's the mouth if you say in the guard..

Indeed, if there is no money, ba'na can eat well here? So if you want to approach women, it's a bag of clothes that are not just pastries but silver chips. Gratitude kepeng gold, so the woman is not worried about hunger if participating ba'na.

Long time make me ride blood not stingy sampeyan", hardik Nirmala while glaring towards Klungsur.

"Yes yes.. Don't go up her voice either. Shame on seeing people..

So the guy don't get a little angry. It could be a spinster because no one wants to get close ", Klungsur shifted his seat away from Nirmala.

"Ba'na is cursing at me huh?

Dare once again to stay away, not really sampeyan", Nirmala increasingly glanced towards Klungsur. Afraid of Nirmala's threat, Klungsur shifted his seat back towards Nirmala.

Arya Pethak, Anjani and Nay Kemuning get upset stomachs from holding back laughter seeing the helpless Klungsur facing Nirmala.

"Ah finally Klungsur there is also the handler Kang", said Anjani as her eyes glanced at Arya Pethak who immediately muttered while holding a laugh.

For the sake of Klungsur's pride, Arya Pethak gave Klungsur a small bag of silver kepengs as they paid for their lunch while the girls had gone out first.

"Don't waste. Remember the word Nirmala. You must be able to show that you are a real man who has money and Sur abilities", whispered Arya Pethak who made Klungsur nod in understanding.

"Thank you very much Ndoro Pethak", Klungsur said with a big smile.

The party immediately kicked their horses south. Until almost dusk, the group still did not reach the nearest village until Arya Pethak decided to spend the night on the forest edge of the highway that leads to Kotaraja Singhasari.

Arya Pethak immediately darted into the forest in search of something to eat. Klungsur looked for fish in the river that flowed near the place. Anjani collects firewood for the campfire while Nay Kemuning and Nirmala are busy arranging a place to rest.

Because it was too late in the afternoon, Arya Pethak could only catch three jungle chickens and also bring a set of ripe bananas. Klungsur came home with some big rice eels that he had cleaned.

The bonfire lit up as dusk began to turn night. Arya Pethak was busy roasting her jungle chicken as well as Klungsur who continued to flip through the eel of the rice field that had been skewed by bamboo on the bonfire. Once ripe, the five of them enjoyed the food they simply cooked.

The dense forest at the foot of the eastern mountain of Penanggungan was so cold. Moreover, the mist slowly began to descend covering the entire region of the place.

"Anjani, get up..

Someone approached here", whispered Arya Pethak who immediately made Anjani awake. The beautiful woman immediately rubbed her eyes while inching to wake Nirmala up.

Nay Kemuning wriggled from his bed while looking at Arya Pethak's face.

"Ayeu naon or Akang?", asked Nay Kemuning while writhing.

"Curlsttttttttttt...

There were the sounds of several horse steps heading this way. Get ready Nay", replied Arya Pethak as she grabbed her Demon Sword sheath placed beside her head pad.

Toprakk toprakk!!

The sound of the horse's legs getting longer is getting clearer.

Klungsur is still fast asleep straight in his foot by Nirmala. The naked man soon awoke from his sleep and saw his traveling companions had prepared to face everything that might happen. Klungsur immediately grabbed the handle of his Galih Asem Gada which was wrapped in black cloth.

From the north, there was a horse that was quickly headed towards Arya Pethak and his friends who had spent the night on the edge of the forest near the big road that led to Kotaraja Singhasari. The horseman saw the fire of the bonfire directly driving his horse towards the fire. The light of the moon approaching the full moon makes the black shadow able to ride in the middle of the night even without carrying a torch.

Two hundred fathoms behind the horseman, saw several horses moving. It looks like they're hunting the horseman.

The horseman pulled the reins as soon as he got near the place where Arya Pethak and her comrades spent the night. Apparently he's not alone. There were others riding with him. Without further ado he jumped on his horse and carried the body of a small boy and headed towards Arya Pethak who stood up as soon as his horse stopped.

"Kisaw..

Please take care of my son. I will face the bastards" said the horseman who turned out to be a man wearing a warrior-style suit while putting the little boy near Arya Pethak. Anjani who stood closest immediately received the little boy who was dressed like a noble son.

Arya Pethak nodded in understanding and the horseman immediately thanked him. He immediately turned around and pulled out a sword that was grazed on his waist while looking towards the North.

Not long after, from the North appeared 4 horsemen with stout stature approaching the horseman and they immediately stopped their horses.

"Haha...

Kebo Anabrang looks like you're tired of running too. Quickly return Raden Wijaya to me otherwise I will make you suffer before you die" said the horseman loudly.

"Balas Paddles, please,

To the death I will not hand over my son to you son of a lord. Vile kidnapper, the government of Singhasari Kingdom will definitely not let you off the hook", replied the horseman who is none other than Kebo Anabrang, a young officer of Singhasari Kingdom who was in charge of guarding the residence of Dyah Lembu Tal, one of the close relatives of the palace who was the youngest son of Mahesa Campaka Sang Narasinghamurti.

As is known by the public that King Seminingrat or also known as Prabu Vishnu Wardhana ruled in Singhasari along with his cousin who is a direct descendant of Ken Arok Sri Ranggah Rajasa Sang Amurwabhumi with Ken Dedes's. Their son Mahesa Wongateleng was the grandfather of Dyah Lembu Tal.

Raden Wijaya or also known as Dyah Sanggramawija is a person who is predicted as the successor to the throne of Singhasari Kingdom after Maharaja Kertanegara only had 4 daughters without having a son from the womb of the empress. Raden Wijaya himself has been betrothed to the four of them since his birth by Maharaja Kertanegara and Dyah Lembu Tal as a political tie to unite the two main descendants of the Rajasa Dynasty.

Sawung Alas was a former brother of Kebo Anabrang. He was assigned by a group that wanted Singhasari not to have a successor to the throne to kidnap Raden Wijaya from Puri Agung Dyah Lembu Tal in western Kotaraja Singhasari during surveillance of the strict guard at Puri Agung middle loose. He managed to take Raden Wijaya small to Kahuripan City but Bekel Warrior named Kebo Anabrang managed to save him despite having to sacrifice the life of friend Kebo Anabrang.

"You want to quickly catch up with your friend Kebo Anabrang. Fine, I'll grant you your wish.

Guys, fellas,

Kill the bastard bekel!", cried Sawung Alas who immediately jumped from his horse, lunging forward towards Kebo Anabrang.4 friends Sawung Alas also darted towards Kebo Anabrang.

The unbalanced fight between one person in the crackle by 5 people did not last long. Five slashes of the sword were fielded by Kebo Anabrang with his sword.

Thrrriiinngg!!

Losing strength, Kebo Anabrang to his knees received a deep energy pressure from his five enemies. Sawung Alas grinned widely and then threw a hard kick towards the soldier's chest.

Bhhuuuuugggh..

Aaauuugggghhhhh!!

Kebo Anabrang fell backward and sat on the ground. As Sawung Alas and comrades were about to advance, a bluish-white ray like lightning struck towards them. Sawung Alas who saw the danger immediately jumped back with his comrades.

"There's an underpinner!"

Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!

One friend of Sawung Alas who did not have time to avoid, bounced to the side and died with a charred chest like burning. A thin white mist appeared before Kebo Anabrang then a well-built man in all-white clothes stood there holding a jet-black-bladed sword.

"Just a coward who plays!"
