The Legend of Senopati
The Death of Mahapatih
Ctas!
One quick stalk was done by a middle-aged man.
The door on the other side was still as usual, locked two iron impossible when people opened it, not a sound was heard.
“Relax, I brought you here,” said the grandfather. “My name is Raden Bratasena, Mayapada's best friend, the man who saved you from hanging. He already told me everything.”
“Brata-Bratasena? Grandpa is the man I met in dreamland, really?” Sadewa is still gawking. His eyes did not blink looking at the figure of Raden Bratasena, the founder and chairman of the Hundred Swords Valley college.
“Sorry to disturb your calm. Four days ago, forget it! It doesn't matter.”
“Four days? How could? I don't remember anything. The last thing I thought about was that I fell into the abyss because Grandpa pushed me. Daytime. I remember, it happened during the day today.”
“The inner burden and strength of Kalachakra Sword make you sleep long enough. Your life energy is almost wiped out if I don't punch chi and the energy center in your left neck.”
“Then, why did Grandpa push me into the abyss?”
“Actually, it's an illusionary realm. You didn't really fall into the abyss. Do you remember when your body couldn't be moved, and then you could run fast after I plucked my finger?” Raden Bratasena stroked Sadewa's hair pigtails.
“Remember. Grandpa asked me to run away and gave me two minutes.”
Sadewa was invited out to see students his age practicing. Raden Bratasena introduced Sadewa Pasha to the three elders who owned the three strongest swords in Java.
“Sadeva means blessed by the Gods, while Pasha has humble, unique, and rare meanings. The name was pinned by a hermit who people knew as the Nameless Swordsman. He is one of the four strongest warriors in Nusantara.”
“The rider who has the last name Pasha will grow into a great warrior and invincible. As it means, unique and rare, you are the only swordsman who can survive by bearing the last name Pasha.”
Sadewa Pasha listening to Raden Bratasena's explanation. He could not believe it for granted, let alone Raden Bratasena calling him a rare young man who was only born once a thousand.
Even if he was chosen to be the successor of the power of God, why is his fate always unlucky?
“My name is Aluna Prabu, you can call me Aluna. I am the elder of one Valley of the Hundred Swords as well as the owner of the Eye of Heaven Sword, one of the cursed swords.” Ki Aluna Prabu greeted Sadewa, then hugged him.
“Now it's your turn, Keep Raksa.” Raden Bratasena invited the man in the pants to talk.
“Call me Raksa, it does not matter whether you know the name of my sword or not.” Ki Jaga Raksa is famous for being very strict towards anyone. He hardly ever talks except in a fight or Raden Bratasena who asks him to talk.
“Jaga Raksa is the elder of two. He was responsible as the guard of the Hundred Swords Valley from the stealth attack. While Aluna Prabu, has the task of training students the basic rules of sword and how to concentrate energy into the body.”
Sadewa Pasha just nodded, then shook the hand of Ki Jaga Raksa.
“Prabu Anchor Turi, I am the owner of Shinra's cursed sword. This sword could split mountains with a single slash. However, this sword was extremely difficult to control. Countless swordsmen died because their life energy was absorbed by Shinra Sword. I'm the elder of three here. My job is to teach the rules of the sword.”
After meeting the three elders, Raden Bratasena explained to Sadewa that the Kingdom of Basundara could not be saved anymore.
Commander Jalak Putih took power. The mahapatih position made him free to give ultimatums to anyone who fought, including King Maheswara.
The kingdom of Basundara which was once considered one of the most prosperous kingdoms in mainland Java, in just four days, turned into a kingdom that was very closed to anyone. In fact, merchants who used to exchange their luggage for pieces of silver and bronze, were driven out raw by the border guards.
“Maybefore you leave a greeting. He died two days ago because his power was absorbed by a demonic figure allied with the royal people. Commander Jalak Putih suspected as the mastermind behind the killing of Mahapatih Mayapada.”
“Me-died?” Sadewa.
