Arya Pethak stared at Begawan Tirta Wening for a moment, then stepped towards her bed next to the stone.
"This canyon is mine. My parents gave it to me, even though I don't know who my parents are" Arya Pethak replied indifferently. She immediately enveloped her body with a thick cloth that was the wrapping of her clothes.
"What do you mean young man? You don't know your parents? Do they no longer exist?", asked Begawan Tirta Wening curiously. The old grandfather immediately approached Arya Pethak and sat down next to her.
"Yes, they don't exist.
My adoptive parents raised me, old man. I was told to look for people who might know who my parents were" Arya Pethak said as she stared at the star-studded night sky.
Hmmmm
"I know a little something about your necklace pendulum, young man", said Begawan Tirta Wening who immediately made Arya Pethak turn to her.
Soon Arya Pethak woke up from her sleep.
"What do you know old man? Tell me" said Arya Pethak, staring at Begawan Tirta Wening.
"I've heard that there used to be a brotherly bond among the martial world.
They are known as the Five Dragons, namely the White Dragon, Red Dragon, Green Dragon, Blue Dragon and Black Dragon.
Actually they are the nobles of Kadiri who choose to isolate themselves from the hustle and bustle of palace life, and live life like a commoner. Although already living as ordinary people, but they are still respected by the community because of the science of canuragan and kebatinan they have.
If you see from your necklace, you are a descendant of the White Dragon, Prince Panji Wijayakrama of Kadiri", said Begawan Tirta Wening with a smile.
"Where is the other descendant of the Five Dragons, old man?
Are they no longer in this world?", asked Arya Pethak immediately.
"Five Dragons were formed when Maharaja Kertajaya of Kadiri reigned in Daha. When Kadiri collapsed in the hands of the Ranggah Rajasa, the Five Dragons exiled to the area in the Kadiri region. But their existence was considered a threat by the rulers of Tumapel, so they were always suspected of rebelling against Tumapel.
I heard that one of the descendants of the Five Dragons that is still alive, is Jayakatwang who became the Regent of Bracelets. He was a descendant of Sastrajaya, the Black Dragon.
If the others I don't know, maybe they are still alive or they could be exhausted" Begawan Tirta Wening said as he stroked his beard.
Hmmmm
"Thank you for your explanation, old man. Later when I get to Kadiri, I will ask this to the person I will meet", Arya Pethak smiled faintly. A little story about his biological parents makes him excited to find out what really happened to them.
The night is getting late.
The bonfire has shrunk, leaving embers still burning with smoke billowing.
Early morning in Pakuwon Palah. The morning sun begins to rise in the eastern horizon with a beautiful red hue. The sound of the earthy rooster crowing was heard from a distant settlement.
Arya Pethak squirms from her bed. The handsome young man immediately rubbed his eyes while yawning a few times. With his eyes still slightly sleepy, he looked at the surroundings.
The students of Kembang Biru are still asleep, while Gayatri seems to have just woken up.
Paramita, who was washing her face in a small river, walked up to Begawan Tirta Wening who was sitting meditating.
"That is,
We're in line with them. Should we walk with them or do we walk alone?", asked Paramita to Begawan Tirta Wening who immediately opened his eyes. He hopes to be with Arya Pethak.
The handsome young man caught Paramita's attention.
"We can walk with them my granddaughter. At least for a few days. I also want to get to know Arya Pethak" said Begawan Tirta Wening with a faint smile.
A sweet smile immediately fell on Paramita's lips.
That morning after finishing getting ready, they immediately continued on their way. Because Arya Pethak is not yet smart to ride a horse, then he rode with Mahesa Cemeng so that their journey faster to Kadiri.
They continued to ride down the road that passed through Pakuwon Randu.
The golden age of Singhasari, all regions in the country were really prosperous. Under the rule of Sri Kertanegara all regions in Java advanced in agriculture and trade.
The city of Pakuwon Randu was bustling with merchants and passersby on the highway that split the city into two equally large sections.
Because the morning had not been able to fill the stomach, Lembu Supa invited his entourage to eat breakfast first.
At a simple food stall in one corner of the city, they stopped their horses.
After tethering the horses to the deck in the courtyard beside the food stall, they all enter the food stall.
"Give us the most delicious meal of the waiter" said Lembu Supa to the waiter.
The shopkeeper immediately nodded in understanding.
Not long after, the waiter came with some kind of food such as roasted chicken and some kind of vegetables. Warm white rice also sat on the dining table they sat on.
The students of Blue Flower College sat at one table, while Arya Pethak, Begawan Tirta Wening and Paramita sat at the other table.
From the outside, came a few people dressed in black who seemed to be no good people.
A grim-faced man with a stocky body carrying a large sword seemed to glare for a moment at Begawan Tirta Wening and then sit not far from the table occupied by Begawan Tirta Wening and Arya Pethak.
Begawan Tirta Wening's face instantly deteriorated seeing the arrival of that person.
"Mahesa Back, please,
Apparently you chased me all the way here. Didn't I tell you to accept the fact that your brother's life is not my responsibility?", Begawan Tirta Wening said quickly.
"The Medicinal God of the South,
I have no problem with that, but I will definitely send you to accompany my sister in Swargaloka today", the man named Mahesa Pungging grinned widely.
Phuihhhh
"How arrogant of you, ugly man!
You think my eye's life can you take out as good as your udel? Face me first before you think there", said Paramita with a hand that has held the handle of his sword.
"The stinking girl!
After I kill that old goddamn grandpa, I'll make you my mistress so I can feel how Mahesa Pungging's power is on the hahahaha bed", Mahesa Pungging laughed back and forth. His followers also laughed loudly.
Hearing that answer, Paramita immediately ignited her emotions. He immediately darted towards Mahesa Pungging while grabbing his sword.
Mahesa Pungging quickly fended off Paramita's sabre with his greatsword.
Tranggg!!
Small sparks were created when the two weapons collided. Seeing his attack deflected, Paramita immediately threw a hard kick towards Mahesa Pungging's stomach.
The sinister-faced man twitched to the right side. As a result, Paramita's hard kick directly hit the dining table behind Mahesa Pungging.
Bruckkk!!
The dining table was shattered by a kick from Paramita that was filled with energy. Paramita's balance is faltering. Seeing that, Mahesa Pungging quickly hit Paramita's back hard.
Bukkkkkk
Ougghhh
Paramita immediately fell on his stomach on the dining table that was shattered earlier. Mahesa Pungging immediately threw a kick towards Paramita's head.
But before Mahesa Pungging's feet hit Paramita's head, a dinner plate darted quickly towards Mahesa Pungging's feet.
Whuussshh
Braakkkk
Mahesa Pungging who did not realize that his attack was successful in the field, can only complain when his left calf is thrown on the dinner plate.
The thick-bodied man took a step back because his calf was like a big rock. It hurts so much.
While stroking her aching calf, Mahesa Pungging glared at the dining table that Arya Pethak was sitting on.
Since Paramita attacked, everyone did choose to pull over to the edge of the dining room. Only Arya Pethak is still busy chewing her favorite roasted chicken.
"Hey fucker!
If you're a hotshot, here you are! Do not just be able to support people who are not ready", cried Mahesa Pungging loudly.
Arya Pethak did not reply, instead continuing to preoccupy gnawing cartilage on her roasted chicken breast.
Mahesa's Punggs instantly rose in blood. He feels like a little. Quickly, he grabbed a plate of grilled chicken that was on the table nearby and threw it towards Arya Pethak.
Whuuuttt
But the handsome young man with a difficult movement followed by ordinary eyes, immediately caught the plate containing grilled chicken.
Shhaanakk..
"I'm still eating, big beard.
If you want to fight, wait for me to finish eating" said Arya Pethak while biting the roasted chicken that was just thrown by Mahesa Pungging.
Mahesa Punggs wrathful. He quickly darted towards Arya Pethak while swinging his greatsword aiming for the head.
Whuussshh
Arya Pethak immediately shifted the position of the wooden seat while still holding the plate containing the roasted chicken.
Mahesa Pungging's great sword only split the wind and violently struck the dining table.
Bruckkk!!
The dining table was immediately shattered. Arya Pethak quickly traced Mahesa Pungging's waist.
Bukkkkkk
Mahesa Pungging's large body was thrown and hit the wooden wall of the food stall while Arya Pethak was pushed back a few steps but remained seated in her seat. The young man continued to eat grilled chicken without concern for Mahesa Pungging who rose up in anger. Roughly, Mahesa Pungging rubbed the blood dripping from the corner of her lips.
Meanwhile, the new Paramita at the aid of Begawan Tirta Wening and Gayatri, gazed towards Arya Pethak with great admiration.
Mahesa Pungging immediately turned to her 3 friends. In unison, they pulled out their weapons.
They immediately charged forward towards Arya Pethak.
But Arya Pethak had prepared to face them. With the Ajian Step Wind God, Arya Pethak darted fast like lightning towards them.
Arya Pethak immediately elbowed the heart of a thin man in clothes armed with a machete.
Deshhhhhh
Arrgghhhh
The skinny man immediately gaped, Arya Pethak immediately stuffed the man's mouth with a piece of grilled chicken. Then Arya Pethak changed her body movements and swung a hanker at the stomach of a thick man who attacked from the right side.
Bukkkkkk
Ougghhh
Seeing the mouth of the opponent open, Arya Pethak immediately stuffed her mouth with roasted chicken wings.
Arya Pethak keeps moving nimble. With one right leg smashing into Mahesa Pungging's chest, one of his right hands could still slap the middle-aged man's cheek striking from the left side.
Deshhhhhh!!!
The four people who had ganged up on Arya Pethak immediately fell down at the same time.
Everyone was immediately stunned to see it all.
Arya Pethak, who was still holding a piece of grilled chicken thigh, walked up to Mahesa Pungging and her friend who were still lying on the floor of the restaurant.
"Still wanting to continue, a bushy beard?", asked Arya Pethak with a faint smile etched on her face.
Withstanding the pain in her chest, Mahesa Pungging immediately stood up.
"You win this time young man, next time I will avenge my defeat" said Mahesa Pungging who immediately stepped out of the food stall followed by his three friends who walked limped.
Begawan Tirta Wening soon approached Arya Pethak.
"You're a great young man..
Can make Mahesa Pungging battered like that" said Begawan Tirta Wening with a smile.
"You're also highly-scientific, old man. Why don't you still help your granddaughter when she's in danger?
You are so weird" said Arya Pethak, putting down her dinner plate.
"Hehehe...
If often helped, later he was accustomed to not exert all his martial skills, Pethak..
I trained her to be independent and able to protect herself" Begawan Tirta Wening replied with a small laugh.
"Young rider, though,
Thanks for the help. If there were no you, I might be dead" Paramita said, bowing her body.
"Easy,
Our fellow travel companions must help each other. Now that you've helped me, now replace you help me", Arya Pethak threw a chicken bone that was clean from the meat into the corner of the food stall.
"What help is Brother Pethak?", asked Paramita enthusiastically.
"Pay food and damage to this food stall..
His owner's office if told to bear the cost of building this place again", replied Arya Pethak quickly.
"Surely, I must have done brother Pethak", Paramita immediately smiled faintly.
After they paid for the food as well as the damage costs of the food stall, Arya Pethak and his friends immediately left the place.
Along the way Gayatri secretly steals a glance towards Arya Pethak, while Paramita more blatantly approaches Arya Pethak.
On the edge of a small forest north of Pakuwon Randu, they stopped on the bank of a small river that became the boundary of the Pakuwon Randu and Surpenduura regions.
Suddenly...
Blammmm!!!
There was a loud explosion from the east of the small forest. Like the sound of people fighting against high-level science.
An old man in black seemed to be fighting against a middle-aged man who was dressed up like a hermit.
"Fuck you, Dandang Gendis..
Today, I will send you to hell" said the old man in black clothes, brandishing his dagger.
"You think I'm afraid to fight you, Sukmajati?
Even if you hold Keris Mpu Gandring in your hand, I am not afraid", cried the middle-aged man called Dandang Gendis.
There was once again a fight between the two great men, while Arya Pethak and her friends only saw it all from a considerable distance.
"Kris Mpu Gandring?
Strange kog?"
