The Soul Sword Legend

Promise and Determination

From a distance Sri Ayu heard the screams of a group of snake demon soldiers chasing after them earlier.

“Where are they?” shout Yuan—leader snake stealth warrior.

“So I saw him here,” said one of his soldiers.

“Quick check around there not to lose track!” yuan's orders with his heavy voice.

All the soldiers combed the forbidden forest. However, none of them had discovered the whereabouts of Kanilaras or Sri Ayu, feeling their search was in vain. Yuan ordered all his troops to end the search and retreat back to the palace. So long they remained silent in fear, now Sri Ayu started the conversation.

“They have gone Laras,” said Sri Ayu in a weak-sounding voice.

Kanilaras looked at his friend's sayu, “True? How do you know that?” ask Kanilaras lirih.

“I heard their voices from here,” said Sri Ayu, this time the girl looked very weak her face was getting paled.

Kanilaras rubbed his ears and looked back at Sri Ayu.

"But .. I didn't hear their voices," he said as he peeked at the snake-stealthy warrior Yuna—sang.

"Your hearing is insensitive, Race."

Sri Ayu patted the shoulder of a friend and hero who always kept her safe, not long after Sri Ayu groaned in pain. His body shivered uncontrollably and he also regurgitated the fresh blood of the peaches like the first time they had met. The incident made Kanilaras worried about the safety of his friend's life.

What am I supposed to do? Why was the poison still eating away at his body? Wasn't it then that Ki Demang and I had taken all the poison out of Sri Ayu's body, but why was it still like this? he murmured in the heart.

The pair of black beads swept through the wilderness before him, occasionally Kanilaras glanced at the face of his new friend.

"You just calm down! I'll save you and .. and we'll avenge all the evil snake!" he said furious, seen Kanilaras' right hand clenched hard.

“T-leave me alone Baras! No need for you to pay attention to me,” said Sri Ayu stammered as she pushed Kanilaras' body until the tiny body crashed backward.

“Where might I leave my friend in this condition! Sit down and I will channel my energy into you" said Kanilaras with turbulent eyes.

Kanilaras threw out a binding scarf on the right left side of his waist. The girl who was wearing the red kemben of the green scarf sat cross-legged and closed the two beautiful eyelids.

Sri Ayu sat on her back to her friend. The beloved daughter of King Daneswara focused her mind on concentrating more, Kanilaras fused her palms together and the girl tried to let out a quick inner energy. Canilaras' hand was seen emitting white smoke, as Kanilaras placed both his hands on Sri Ayu's back. Slowly the two bodies of the girl were shaken so much that their bodies were both raised high when the inner energy of Kanilaras penetrated into Sri ayu's body.

For a moment their bodies spun rapidly in the air and the water energy in Kanilaras was felt right by Sri ayu, but the poison energy seemed to stab and seal all his internal organs. Sri Ayu feels this is useless and futile if done and will be fatal for Kanilaras, therefore he stopped the actions of Kanilaras that would endanger his own life.

In this precarious situation Sri Ayu made a decision based on what she felt was right. Without speaking a word he broke away from Kanilaras, so his body was thrown into the tree which resulted in him getting injured.

Sri Ayu's neck slowly turned blue, the sound of the girl's breathing choking violently. His pupils widened as his blood flow increasingly roared, his heart beat irregularly his breath was also increasingly hunting.

“Sri Ayu ..” cried Kanilaras as he ran towards Sri Ayu.

Kanilaras embraces Sri Ayu and holds her friend's head on her thigh, “What are you doing?”

“P-free you helped me, Laras!” he said with a bad breath.

“What do you mean? I'm sure you'll be cured.” Brushed Sri Ayu's cheeks very gently.

Sri Ayu smiled faintly and said, “ My life is no longer long, Laras! Please do not waste your strength and strength. Finish off all the snake demon descendants for me and those bastards don't hunt the youths anymore!” pinta Sri Ayu interrupted a groan to her pain.

Kanilaras nodded slowly, unknowingly clear circles came out from the tip of his eyelids and he whispered softly “I promise to destroy all the demons! But, you must also take part in this revenge.”

“Which may be Baras, l-look at me! My feet alone cannot support my own body. How could I fight them?” his complaints against Kanilaras. It is undeniable that the girl's life could not be helped, the poison channeled through the tootokan destroyed some of Sri Ayu's breast bones so that the girl felt very tortured if moving quickly.

“Effort, do not give up on the situation!” kanilaras.

Sri Ayu gently rubbed Kanilaras' wet cheeks due to her relentless rushing tears, the two girls hugged each other. In the warm embrace of Kanilaras—Sri Ayu breathed her last, before her life was off the body, Sri Ayu slipped a skewer of konde in the hair loop of Kanilaras, the skewer is crescent-shaped and the object is a hereditary heirloom of the ancestors of Sri Ayu.

The konde puncture is not an ordinary konde puncture, it has a hidden magical power. When the crescent moon appears the heirloom object will emit a bright light and the light will make people who see it lose control. Whoever holds the heirloom will become more charismatic.

Kanilaras took off his arms and looked at Sri Ayu's paled face and her friend's face slowly aged, leaving Kanilaras confused instead of playing.

“What is this? Is it possible because of the poison that he can turn like this?” His forehead shriveled and there were many questions in his mind.

Kanilaras placed Sri Ayu's body on the ground and she walked in search of the empty land to bury Sri Ayu's body. When Kanilaras returned to his original place he found Sri Ayu's body was dead.

“Where is he? Is it possible that his body was eaten by wild animals?” kanilaras asked with his eyebrows almost fused together.

Kanilaras walked down the path looking for the whereabouts of Sri Ayu's body, but Kanilaras did not see the body of his friend. As he focused on looking around the forest without him noticing that he had entered the forest of the valley of silence where the demons were residing.

Kanilaras walked very carefully, his nether continued to look around clearly a small demon hanging on the tree. Kanilaras slowly returned to his hiding place. However, when he turned his body unintentionally his round neutrality saw a large-scale troop of warriors come out from the forest of the valley of silence.

“Where are they going?” kanilaras muttered full of curiosity.

Still confused by what he saw, his earlobes moved slowly and slowly - the goal of Kanilaras' eardrum heard the lightning that struck and the rumbling sound of the wind averted Kanilaras's gaze.
