The Soul Sword Legend

Kanilaras Escape

Senopati Barkah smiled satisfied to see Kanilaras injured, along with a gust of wind Senopati Barkah darted closer to Kanilaras. The snake demon pulled out the totok tangkalem style again.

However, that move missed. Kanilaras has a good enough body movement that he easily avoids the deadly style. The long haired girl took the time to attack. Hundreds of types of flowers flew freely in the air and shot through the air to hit the body of Senopati Barkah.

Queen Sanya's envoy could not dodge anymore, his body had been slashed and shattered into pieces by Kanilaras' shadowy flower style. All the soldiers of Senopati Barkah ran away in disarray after seeing his lord's body crushed into thousands of pieces.

Sri Ayu smiled broadly at the victory of Kanilaras, she was very grateful to be reunited with the late student Maheswari. However, that happiness did not defeat his guilt towards his parents who had died at the hands of Senopati Barkah, even he also had to lose the husband he loved.

“Thank you for helping us,” said Sri Ayu softly.

Kanilaras looked at Sri Ayu and smiled sweetly while tidying up her clothes.

“Actually, Nyi Sanak where to go?” Sri Ayu looked at the girl standing before her.

Again the female swordsman reviewed the sweet smile and answered the King's daughter's question.

"I have no purpose" he said, covering up the truth.

"But ... from the appearance of—" Sri Ayu held back her words and looked at Kanilaras from head to toe.

“I'm a wanderer. Just happened to pass by and see this commotion all,” said Kanilaras with sparkling eyes.

“It looks like Nyi Sanak is a nobleman,” concluded Sri Ayu while leaning her body on a tree.

“Means Mr Princess?” Kanilaras frowned while asking.

“I feel that you are a noble and not a random person,” he said in his weak voice.

Kanilaras glanced for a while and fell silent without saying a word, he was confused to answer Sri Ayu's question. In the moment when silence struck suddenly Sri Ayu thrashed in pain, her eyes reddened and slowly the girl's smooth skin blistered like a burning fire. A situation that is very difficult to understand by Kanilaras. Although in panic Kanilaras still trying to overcome the situation with calm.

“Whatever it is, please help us!” the screech is as powerful as possible.

Kanilaras looked around the royal surroundings, none of them seemed able to help him, desperately trying to remember the concoction of medicine he had learned in the palace just yet. Luckily the Rigilah kingdom had medicinal plants; so Kanilaras did not have to go to the forest to find all the medicinal ingredients needed at this time.

Just relying on his memories Kanilaras searched for herbs around the palace and concocted them very carefully.

Let's just hope my guess is right about the poison spreading in his body, inner Kanilaras is anxious.

The greenish-brown Netranya was still staring at Sri Ayu who was still struggling in pain, with her two hands busy pounding all the medicinal herbs and some bark. Once everything is ready, Kanilaras immediately instills the concoction of the drug and partially smear it in the body of the injured Sri Ayu.

“What should I do after this? The residence does not exist. And now ... I have to take care of him,” muttered Kanilaras who is currently taking Sri Ayu away from his ruined palace.

Kanilaras staggered to take Sri Ayu away from there looking for lodging. While stepping a few steps, there was a cry from behind.

“Wait For Aden ..!”

Suddenly Kanilaras stopped and turned his head to the source of the voice, looking middle-aged woman running in a hurry to approach him.

A thundering breath and with her voice stammered the middle-aged woman asked, “M-want is taken where, Putri Sri Ayu?”

“Nearby lodging,” Kanilaras replied quickly.

“Don't Aden! The safety of Ndoro Putri must be maintained,” said the woman.

“Who are you,” asked Kanilaras with an intimidating look in the eye.

“Hamba, Mbok Saum! Emban, Princess Sri Ayu since the baby,” concluded Mbok Saum with his head bowed.

Kanilaras nodded and asked again, “Lantas we take where, he?”

“Aden took the servant to the house of Ki Demang Durma,” he said.

Kanilaras followed Mbok Saum's footsteps towards the demang house which was located quite far from the kingdom. Princess Sri Ayu was well cared for by Mbok Saum and Kanilaras was given a room to rest during her stay there.

...****************...

On a clear morning the sound of birds chirping melodiously woke Princess Sri Ayu, slowly she stretched her body and got up from the bed staring around the room. Suddenly the look in his eyes sharpened to see the condition of his skin that was burning and left a scar that was not easily healed.

“Mbok ...!" sri Ayu shouted frantically calling her loyal embrace.

Hearing that cry Mbok Saum walked quickly to the source of the voice.

“Hamba here Ndoro Putri,” said Mbok Saum.

"Where is the heroine, Mbok? And what happened to me?” sri Ayu asked with teary eyes.

“Aden again practicing sword in the back, Ndoro. Yesterday ... Ndoro Putri was exposed to snake stealth poison and the swordsman was the one who treated Ndoro Putri!” With a big smile Mbok Saum explained his situation yesterday.

Princess Sri Ayu got off her bed and walked towards the backyard of Ki Demang Durma's house.

“Ndoro Princess needs something?” asked Mbok Saum who followed Sri Ayu's steps.

The girl's head shook a little. A pair of Sri Ayu netra stared seriously at Kanilaras who was very agile with a slow swing of the sword, but did not detract from the power of the sword.

However, he did not want to make Kanilaras feel uncomfortable if he asked too deeply about the origin of his sword. The female swordsman stopped her activities when she saw Sri Ayu sitting in front of the kitchen door.

“The Princess is awake,” greet Kanilaras while inserting the moon sword into the sheath.

The young girl nodded while presenting a sweet smile, now Sri Ayu walked over to Kanilaras who was sitting on a log.

“How is Mr Putri now?” kanilaras asked without seeing Sri Ayu's face in the slightest.

“It's okay, yesterday you haven't answered my question!” tudut Sri Ayu while glancing at Kanilaras for a moment.

“Which question is Princess? I forgot,” replied Kanilaras who now turned his face away.

“Are you of noble descent?” Sri Ayu's gaze did not detach in the slightest from her interlocutor.

Kanilaras replied by tilting his head, “Iya, I am the Princess of one of the kingdoms in this land of Java.”

“I guessed it. Then, what is your purpose for wandering?” sri Ayu said without hesitation.

“I have the mandate of both my parents. Please don't ask me what message I am holding now!” kanilaras pinta with emphasis words.

“I see your point, can I ask you something?” said slowly.

“I don't like to be bound by anyone!” Kanilaras replied in a flat tone of voice.

“After you help me, I promise I will not trouble you anymore,” Sri Ayu promised Kanilaras.

The female warrior glanced at the Princess from King Tanawar. Kanilaras is an honest and kind-hearted girl, although sometimes her attitude and speech are rude.

Although Sri Ayu did not explain the intent of his request, Kanilaras was already able to know very clearly

that the Princess of King Tanawar wanted to avenge the snake stealth that made the whole family and their community killed.

Kanilaras still thinks hard at the request of the girl who is now next to him.

“I want to help you, as long as your body condition has recovered as usual!” The conditions that Kanilaras spoke.

Sri Ayu smiled faintly and answered Kanilaras' words with great enthusiasm, “Five days. Yes, just five days I recovered this body!” the promise that was said from Sri Ayu's mouth

...****************...

Elsewhere in the Belikat forest, Queen Sanya was furious at her failure to get the offering and the anger peaked when she heard the death of Senopati Barkah. The person he had trusted all this time and only Senopati Barkah understood with all the will of Queen Sanya without having to explain.

“Who is he!” he shouted with glaring eyes.

“H-servant does not know, Queen. What is clear is that he has killed Senopati very cruelly" said the soldier nervously.

“Stupid! Quickly find out who he is and find a replacement for me tonight!” Sanya Queen snapped, her perfectly rounded eyes adding to her fierceness.

The snake demon queen's eyes emitted a red glow and made the thing she was looking at shatter into pieces. Even some of his soldiers, he swallowed alive was not enough to get there. Queen Sanya changed her form into a large snake, the tail of the snake wagged and collapsed the cave that she had lived all this time.

“I want you to find a warrior who has killed my loyal servant!” Queen Sanya's voice echoed throughout the cave.

“We will carry out the Queen,” answer all the soldiers compactly.

Without lingering again the soldiers carried out the order of Queen Sanya.

Chaos occurred in several villages and it was all the actions of Queen Sanya soldiers who sought virgins for offerings.

Some of the soldiers were looking for the whereabouts of Sri Ayu and Kanilaras; Ki Demang Durma took a thousand steps to tell the news about the search for the snake stealth soldiers who were looking for Kanilaras and Princess Sri Ayu.

“It's better Ndoro Putri and Aden go from here!” demang Durma's suggestion, his pair of eyeballs glanced to and fro.

“Winning what is Ki Demang?” kanilaras asked with both of his eyebrows raised.

“The smile is coming again, Aden!” ki Demang Durma said, constantly rubbing his nape, "quickly leave this house, Ndoro!" drive Ki Demang Durma.

Not finished discussing the group of soldiers Queen Sanya has come in front of the house Ki Demang Durma, the situation makes Mbok Saum and Ki Demang Durma panic. They both did not want Princess Sri Ayu and Kanilaras to die at the hands of the snake demon.

“Quick get away from here Aden and take Ndoro Putri with you!” mbok Saum's proposal, printed clearly concerns on Mbok Saum's face.

Out there was the sound of door breaks and some items being destroyed by blows from Queen Sanya's soldiers.

“They have escaped Kang,” strangle one of the soldiers.

“Pursue them!” orders from the warrior leader.

Kanilaras and Sri Ayu are chased until entering the forbidden forest, inside the forest Kanilaras decides to hide behind the thickets.

“Do not make a sound!” Kanilaras finger stuck to the lips beckoned to Sri Ayu.
