The Sky Clever

The Red Rose Sect

The day was exactly midday when the sun was at its highest point not as usual, at the top of Mount Lightning there was no white cloud hanging. Unobstructed sunlight spread scorching from the top to the slopes of even the foot of the mountain.Wind not the slightest blow of air feels tremendous heat and silence gripping almost in every corner.

Seen a flying alap flying around the mountain as if he was looking for prey for his lunch.

The green tree looks neatly arranged like a great painting around the mountain.

Right at the top of the mountain was a magnificent building like a palace that stood for hundreds of years that was the Sky Sect.

a middle-aged man stood staring intently at the group of people who were practicing Kanuragan science, occasionally that person nodded his head occasionally also smiling , he was the Darma faction who was watching over the disciples of the Sky Sect who were training.

The scorching heat of the afternoon sun did not hinder the intentions of the disciples who were training in the front yard of the sect, from the look of their faces seemed to be filled with the spirit of the young soul that was stirring.

Here and there there seemed to be the sound of clinking sounds of swords clashing with each other, once heard a clash of internal energy explosions that made the atmosphere even hotter.

That was the atmosphere of training in the Sky sect that afternoon that had the arrival of some new residents such as Lestari, Arini Sinta and Bagus Dento.

After selecting the disciples by the elders of Darma Paksi and according to the advice of Jaka who is the elder of the sect, Sinta and Arini were given special training by Narantaka and will be made into an army of eyes, while Lestari and Bagus Dento as a search force.

Jaka and Paksi Darma had observed the talents of the newcomers, so the Darma faction immediately intervened to guide them.

On another day in a spacious room and beautiful and clean Jaka was seen talking with the elder Paksi Darma, in the conversation many times he was seen frowning, he said, there seems to be something that makes him have to think hard.

"The Darma Axis Plaintiff action from now on all people in this sect I ask to always be vigilant and careful" said Jaka suddenly.

Darma's axe frowned

listen to Jaka's words.

"Is it because the sect was involved in the battle yesterday that the elder said so" said Darma's faction, trying to guess the direction of Jaka's conversation.

"True, I believe there is a big sect behind the attack of the red beetle sect yesterday it "said Jaka seriously.

"Do we need to improve the care of elders "ask Paksi Darma.

"No. there is no need to be that serious I think, but just be careful "said Jaka.

"And I need to convey for now, do not accept new students for a while for security "said Jaka added.

"If that's what the elders are ordering, then I will do all the commands of the elders "saying Paksi Darma.

"Older , for the next few days like him I have to leave this sect" Jaka said.

"There are indeed elders, not all of whom are already here" Darma said in surprise.

"Ratih and his friends are already here, I plan to go to my hometown elder, dad, I've been wanting to go there for a long time and maybe there's something new there" Jaka said.

"If that's the elder's wish I can't prevent it, but there's one thing the elder should know, which is about the red rose sect that has now begun to rise again "paksi Darma said.

"Sect red rose , why did I just know the elder try to explain to me" asked Jaka to be interested.

"Alright "pronounce Darma Axis while correcting his sitting position.

"Look, the sect of red roses is a sect led by a woman named Nyai Konde Mas, the sect is now reported to be spreading terror where , for that if later the elder met a beautiful woman hope the elder hearted not to be exposed to the persuasion was my message "paksi Darma said worried about the elder, because it is easy to get along with women.

"What does this have to do with my elders, why do you talk so "asked Jaka, because she felt insinuated.

"Sorry elders, to be honest I am worried about the elders who are easy to get along with the women, so for the safety of the elders it is better this time to be careful "paksi Darma said.

"Well, elder Darma Paki, I will remember all your words, but you did not make fun of me who is not about women" Jaka said, scratching his head.

"no... no. I do not dare the elder "saying the Darma Axis with choking because he thought insinuating Jaka.

"Oh yes elders, Arini and Sinta I have entered to join the eye group according to what the elders ordered" said Paksi Darma.

"Good Paki Darma, I want them to be given enough training to provide their duties later "said Jaka.

"Elders need not worry, in addition to eye trainers, they will also give me training as a killer who can move quietly and is difficult to track "paksi Darma.

Jaka nodded his head hearing the explanation from the Darma faction.

Jaka believes that the quality of the disciples of the Sky sect does not disappoint, because he can already prove himself, for example Melati who can always complete the tasks that are also given well.

"I think it's so much better that the elders of Darma Axis, because soon we might face a very strong enemy" Jaka said.

"So the elder had taken all that into account" asked Paksi Darma.

"True, that's why you guide all students in practicing "say Jaka.

"Elder not worry about it all, I will do my best for this sect "said Paksi Darma.

"In that case, as soon as possible I have to leave immediately I leave the responsibility of this sect to you" Jaka said as he stepped out.

"But jasmine still follow with the elders right" asked Paksi Darma to ensure the participation of jasmine.

"Yes of course "say Jaka.

"Alright then I can calm down here while waiting for the elder to return "say Paki Darma, while staring at Jaka's departure.

After conversing with Paksi Darma about the purpose of his departure, he immediately stepped out of the sky sect .

Jaka darted quickly to leave the sky sect with jasmine followed behind him, wherever Jaka went Jasmine always accompanied him, because jasmine had a special task of guarding and protecting the safety of Sect elders.

Although jasmine is a woman but her ability is no longer in doubt , to become the security officer of the sect elders he had undergone special training and physical forging and strength equivalent to the swordsmen of the match could even be said to have entered the warrior class without a match (the swordsman who it's hard to find a match).

Jaka hastened his pace slaaap.... slaaap, jasmine too he also accelerated his pace after seeing her also speed up his movements.

After a long walk they both arrived at a village that looked very quiet, because there was no one there.

Jaka stopped his steps while sweeping his gaze around the village.

In his heart Jaka asked why in a village this big there are no residents.

"Describe whether you feel strange about this village" Jaka said as he walked slowly.

"It seems like something has happened with this village elder" Melati said while paying attention to the circumstances surrounding the village.

"It seems so Melati, let's find out what's wrong with this village, why there is no sign of the residents, where they all go "say Jaka curiously.

"Old I found this "say jasmine while showing the object he found earlier.

"Rose flower.., do you think the disappearance of the villagers is related to this rose, Melati "pronounced Jaka.

"mmmm....yes..yes .. it is also true what you say jasmine" said Jaka immediately remembered the words of Darma Paksi before leaving.

"Then let's explore deeper into this village who knows we can clue the other "say Jaka while walking .

"Alright the elder "says jasmine.

Jaka and Melati immediately traced the village, a quiet and desolate atmosphere felt enveloped in all corners of the place in the village, the two of them continued their steps until they entered the alleyways throughout the village but things remained the same as elsewhere.

"It looks like there's no other clue than the elder's rose" jasmine said after exploring the entire place.

"then let's continue the journey, I think we've wasted a lot of time in this place" said Jaka.

Feeling that he did not find any clues, Jaka decided to continue his journey to Sekaten village.

Sekaten Village is a village where jaka and his mother once lived in that place as well as with his father when he was a child.

"Delati, have you ever heard of the Red Rose sect" he said between his travels.

"What an elder," answered Melati briefly.

"Do you think the sect of red roses has anything to do with the incident in the village that we just passed by jasmine "asked Jaka.

"They should be suspected of the elders, if you see the roses we found earlier "say Melati.

Jaka pondered the words of jasmine, it would not hurt if the sect of red roses were suspected.

When Jaka and Melati were walking from the front they were seen a convoy of soldiers escorting a stretcher with a very tight escort by people riding and walking about two feet hundred people.

The horsemen looked burly with faces full of firmness and it seemed like they were not ordinary people.

"It looks like there is a royal entourage of elders "saying Melati after noticing the clothes worn by the horsemen in front of the stretcher

"It seems so, but from the kingdom where they jasmine "say Jaka, do not understand.

"If not wrong, I think they are from the kingdom of Sangguling if seen from the flag of the elder "say Melati.

"Kingdom Sangguling.kah was not the kingdom that is now in conflict with the kingdom of Tataran Melati "ucap Jaka.

"True elder "pronounced jasmine.

Not long after the accompaniment of the group passed in front of Jaka and Melati, Jaka noticed the tadu carried by the group.

"It seems that in the palanquin was carrying a princess "said Jaka, after the accompaniment passed from before him.

"Why elders can say that, but the palanquin is tightly closed "asked jasmine.

Jaka was stifled to hear the jasmine's words, he did not expect that jasmine would say that.

"I just guessed from the fragrant smell of jasmine" said Jaka reasoned.

Melati shook her head with the attitude of the elder.

"We don't have to talk about it" Jaka said then on his trip.

A moment later when the two of them arrived in Sekaten village, the situation in the village now has changed a lot unlike ten years ago, it makes Jaka ask questions.

"Is this the village of the elder of childhood, why it is so quiet" asked jasmine, when she saw the jaka standing with eyes staring at the entire village.

"Just because this is my birthplace when I was a child, I really did not think that it has become like this" Jaka explained.

"Lati come with me "said Jaka, stepping, but suddenly bruuuk.

"sorry sir" said the young man half-frightened.

"It's okay, next time heart" Jaka said.

"Okay sir" said the young man.

"Wait for something I want to ask you" Jaka said as the young man left.

"What is the brother of the natives of this village" Jaka continued.

"Truely my master is a native of this village" the young man replied.

"I want to ask you something, may ask for a moment" said Jaka.

"Please ask what" said the young man.

"Do you know the house of Darsiman" asked Jaka.

Hearing Jaka's question the young man looked pale and trembling like he was hit by something.

"Lord has something to do with Mr. Darsiman" the young man asked in an uncertain uneasiness.

Jaka and jasmine were astonished by the attitude of the young man before her.

"Master what is his relationship with Mr. Darsiman" the young man repeated his question.

"He's an old friend of mine" Jaka said, lying because Darsiman is actually his uncle.

Hearing Jaka's confession, the young man was shaking half to death.

"Why are you so scared to hear that I'm Darsiman's friend" Jaka asked.

"Do you not know the cruelty of Lord Darsiman" asked the young man.

"Indeed, what he did made you so scared" Jaka asked, curiously.

"Look, sir, Darsiman is now the most feared person in the village, because he is now an accomplice of the red rose sect" the young man said.

Jaka and Melati were immediately choked to hear the sect of red roses being mentioned by the young man before her.

"Why is the sect of red roses so afraid of what they have done to this village" Jaka asked.

"Master can see for himself the situation in this village that is so quiet, it is all the work of Darsiman and the red rose sect that captures the entire population to be made slaves" said the young man.

"What..so it turns out to be true, this is all the work of the red rose sect "say Jaka.
