The Story of the Forecast Swordsman

The Strange Dream of Satria

A long and tiring day passed leaving great destruction in the dimensions of Satria training ground. Debris and traces of explosions are still seen decorating the place. Black smoke is still popping up at some point as a result of the heavily burned forest.

In the room was still lying the bodies of Satria and Ki Soma who were seen filled with wounds. Especially the old geezer's body, almost all over his body blood flowed endlessly. Dewi Kembang showed a frightened face that seemed unable to see the body of his father and his son injured.

Goddess Sekarwangi tried to stop the flow of blood. With all his effort he covered up some fatal wounds from Ki Soma. He drained all the remaining deep energy until his breath gasped and his legs went limp. The girl staggered and collapsed right next to Satria's body.

Dusk began to cover the day with a dim light around the cottage. Goddess Sekarwangi tried to reach Satria's body and then with a sobbing cry she hugged him. The moving circumstances colored the twilight, they could do nothing. They are silent without being able to think and surrender to the creator.

The night was getting late, they were still in a state of silence waiting for Ki Soma and Satria to wake up from his stupor. Satria is still lying limp now in the seat of Dewi Sekarwangi with a smooth caress. Hugging Satria tightly, her tears kept flowing down her cheeks. Drop by drop the tears fell and hit the face of Satria.

Satria woke up and observed her surroundings with a confused feeling. He looked for a long time without being able to make a sound. His tongue was stiff and the sound that came out was inaudible. He faintly saw an old hut on top of a mountain. Satria approached and saw an old man with a long beard dangling. His hair is also long and white like an old and aged grandfather.

Satria steps settles and tries to peek out from behind the tree. With eyes as sharp as an eagle he tried to see what the grandfather was doing. His eyeballs caught many objects and equipment that were unusual to him. There were all sorts of strange plants that made Satria shake her head.

He looked at her without blinking and was as if astonished at the incident. Before finally a voice surprised him and woke Satria from her daydream.

"Young man, if you want to heal wounds, come here on the hilltop to the east. Next to the waterfall, there's a little cottage, come in!" said the mysterious voice and disappeared.

Satria was startled and actually woke up from her long sleep. He was aghast like he had just finished a dream in pursuit of a demon.

He finally fully realized and found the body was in the embrace of Goddess Sekarwangi. In his heart, Satria was very happy that Goddess Sekarwangi was embracing him. With a thumping heart he returned the embrace of the girl which made all shocked.

"Satria, are you conscious?" ask Dewi Sekarwangi while releasing his embrace.

Satria was unable to answer, only nodding softly with a red face restrained in embarrassment. Dewi Kembang, who had hugged the two boys.

"Mother's happy, you're Satria's girl?" his mother said, shedding her tears again.

The two children re-embrace Dewi Kembang with a sense of joy mixed. They shed tears with hugs getting tighter.

"Mother, where's Grandpa?" satria asked her mother.

His mother released a hug and directed her gaze towards Ki Soma who was still lying down with wounds all over his body.

Satri jumped up and approached his grandfather's body. He clasped his grandfather's hand, hugging him tightly. Tears fell from the boy's eyes.

"Grandfather, grandpa woke up cake?" said Satria hugged and shook his grandfather's body which was limp in the blood.

Goddess Sekarwangi who was eager to see the condition of Satria and her grandfather came closer. He bandaged the old man's wound with the scarf he was wearing.

"Satria grandfather is okay, just need to be treated" said Dewi Sekarwangi comforting Satria who hysterically hugged her grandfather's body.

"Who, who would dare to injure grandfather?" satria asked with a slight shout while spewing out all the emotions that were inside her. All eyes were on Satria as if pointing at him was the culprit.

"You are the culprit", said Goddess Sekarwangi while pointing at Satria with her finger.

"Me, but why?", answered Satria confused as not remembering what had happened. He had not been aware of the power that controlled him to the point of becoming a ferocious monster full of anger.

Satria shook her head in a sign of still not believing what happened. He was so upset why could he go on a rampage in Garuda's golden robe and almost kill his grandfather. He thinks himself absolutely ridiculous.

"Oh, let's not argue anymore. We should think of medicine to heal grandfather's wounds" said Dewi Sekarwangi again breaking the silence that night.

"But how? Mother does not understand about the problem of treatment" said Dewi Kembang while holding her chin a sign of thinking hard.

The atmosphere returned silent, only a gust of wind blew the leaves outside the window.

"Is there a physician in this dimension? Or is there a medicinal plant that can be used?" Dewi Sekarwangi again asked and made the atmosphere become increasingly quiet.

Satria recalled her strange dream of someone old at the top of a hill in the east. He still remembered the words of that person.

"I remember with my dreams, it might have something to do with medicine" Satria said amidst the confusion that struck.

"Dream, what dream?" Goddess Sekarwangi looked at Satria cynically as if he did not believe her words earlier.

Satria with a slightly upturned face trying to remember her dream at that time. He believed his dream was not an ordinary dream, because it was so real and there was an energy pulling him there.

"Yes I remember, on the top of the hill to the east next to the waterfall there was a cottage in the old grandfather's residence. Grandpa told me to come there. Maybe it has something to do with the medicine we're looking for" Satria said of all the dreams she'd had while fainting.

All eyes looked at Satria, as if they could not believe the words that came out of the boy's mouth. Dewi Kembang instead laughed in disbelief with such a dream .

"Satria, do you believe in that silly dream of yours?" ask Dewi Kembang while making Satria.

"Of course I believe, Mom. I will go there" said Satria persuading her mother who showed gestures of disbelief.

"You want to go there? What if mom forbids?" Dewi Kembang asked with annoyance at her son.

"Even if you forbid it, I'll go anyway. I'm responsible for what happened to Grandpa" Satria's answer convinced her mother who disagreed with her son's way of thinking.

All were speechless by Satria's decision to seek a cure. The night was getting late, they were still silent.

"If you leave, I will follow Satria", Goddess Sekarwangi interjected in the midst of the silence of the conversation that night.

"I will go alone, I don't want to involve you", Satria replied as she glanced at Goddess Sekarwangi next to her.

"I'm coming along, because only I can stop the rampage of the golden chakra" said Dewi Sekarwangi in an annoyed tone.

"But?" satria's voice stopped and could not refuse the request of Goddess Sekarwangi.

"Alright then, I won't stand in your way anymore. Depart the two of you tomorrow morning" said Dewi Kembang ended all the long debate that night.

Satria and Goddess Sekarwangi smiled happily and was determined to find his grandfather a cure. They did a little preparation that night. Supplies and equipment are made one to be taken on a journey tomorrow.

Just when dawn broke Satria and Goddess Sekarwangi started their journey towards the eastern hill, looking for the healer in Satria's dream.
