The Musafir

Soul Release Sirep

MANTINGAN did not wince at all when Chitra Anggini grabbed both hands. The woman invited him to move along with a song that chanted.

“Move according to your heart, Mantingan. Let the soul of this dance control your body completely.”

Mantang difficult to understand. Everything he has done up to now, rarely based on mere conscience. For example, when fighting against his opponents, even though he let his entire body move just like that, but it was thanks to all his hard training with Kiai Guru Kedai to plunge into the subconscious, so that his body can move without being desired at all.

And even though the science of reading signs, it is not at all obedient to the heart.

But the other is with dance. Mantingan really never practiced any kind of dance. How can he allow his body to move according to his heart correctly and correctly?

“Follow it.” Chitra Anggini again said, but now in a much softer voice.

For the sake of hearing such a soft voice, so soft, so soft, even too soft, that it almost resembled the voice of the Northern River Angel, Mantingan closed his eyes and let his mind center on the chant.

Then his forehead creased. At the beginning, there was nothing strange about the sound. But over time, gradually, the sound began to sound different. So pervasive, it was as if all the chanting was inside his head and not heard by his ears. Not long after that, Mantingan began to lose mastery of the body.

“What do you feel?”

Chitra Anggini's voice appeared. No, the voice did not come from his mouth, but his mind.

“This sirep?” The mantel responded by asking.

"Yes." Yeah." A reply from Chitra Anggini. "This magic comes from the sound."

The thought of Mantang fast leads to the existence of his body at this time, which of course moves itself without a flash, because it has been controlled by the magic of the sound itself.

In that case, his vigilance had certainly changed to negligence. They are like a pair of deer that drink too much wine, walking in no direction, so it is very easy for hunters to shoot it.

Chitra Anggini seemed to be able to guess Mantingan's way of thinking, so he said, "The only thing we need to do right now is believe in them. You may be worried, even very worried, because how also you are a fugitive of all Dwipantara including the Koying Union, but believe me they will not attack you just like that. Your face has been so perfectly camouflaged that even I myself cannot recognize you at all."

The mantle chooses to believe. The words of Chitra Anggini sound quite reasonable. There was nothing to worry about too much, as the Koying herself did not really intend to kill the Hero Man, they only wanted the Sky Starter to be in the palace and protect him.

"This siren is called Soul Release." Chitra Anggini's voice was heard again. "Anyone who is too careless when they hear the sound of this magic, then their soul seems to leave the body. They no longer had control over their own bodies, and precisely who had control was the player of the sound."

So his body, the body of Chitra Anggini, and the body of the entire pair of warriors in this place were in the control of those maids? Is it not by their power that all the warriors there can attack and kill each other until there is no one left?

"Why can we speak without a mouth or eyes like this?" The mantan asked, choosing to forget all the bad thoughts in his head.

"If our bodies are fused, then our souls are fused, too" replied Chitra Anggini.

Outside the subconscious Mantingan and Chitra Anggini, the bodies of both are hugging and walking small accompanied the chants of the song. How unimaginable is what they are doing right now!

"Why would the palace do this?" ask Mantingan again. It doesn't end its curiosity.

"Unfortunately, the answer to your question on this one cannot be explained at all using words. My sister Kartika once followed this dance with her former lover, and she explained something that could not be imagined at all by me. And, too bad we're not really lovers, but lovers in a blanket of charade, anyway, so none of us know what my brother and the other swordsman couples really feel in this place.”

Does that mean this dance is intended so that the closeness of the swordsman couples is getting closer? Mantingan did not really know it, nor did he dare to draw conclusions based on mere estimation, because however he had not felt what was felt by the other pairs of warriors around him.

Chitra Anggini also seems to understand it, so he said, “There is no need to bother at all. The palace won't try to kill us again just because we both don't look so friendly when we're doing this dance."

For that word, Mantingan did not reply at all. He knew that what the woman said was the truth, but he caught a slight disappointed tone from the inner speech. How could he not be silent when he thought about what Chitra Anggini was disappointed in?
