The Story of the Forecast Swordsman

Past Ki Aswina Part 1

Satria still looks aloof while looking at the distant sky there. While the sun peeked behind the hill with a reddish golden radiance. The light that started to dim brought a calm atmosphere on the young man's face. His head was heavy with every problem he faced. The mind that always directs step by step to become a great warrior. But in the middle of the road must find two opposite directions. There is a choice that forces him to pursue the world of medicine. He took a deep breath trying to find the best path for himself.

From a distance a grandfather with a flute on his waist, kept a close watch. Ki Aswina felt the burden of the young man. His forehead shriveled trying to position himself on the boy. The grandfather had also been in the same position, as his memories flew into the past.

At that time Ki Aswina was in the elite army of the previous king's guard. Aswina was an avid warrior who worked hard and was kind. Therefore he had many friends and was always popular among the other soldiers. Aswina has no negative thoughts about other people. But not for others, competition is still competition in fighting for positions.

On one occasion young Aswina was believed to be the leader of the platoon of the king's guard. At that time he bravely escorted Prabu Kertawirya king of the famous Panca Bumi Kingdom. At that time, the king's entourage will hunt in the southern forest.

Aswina rides a white horse accompanied by her best friend Aswenda who is also proficient in martial arts and good at reading situations. The journey begins to enter the southern forest border, with towering trees and abundant game animals.

But suddenly the wind blew giving a bad signal. Aswina sensed something bad was starting to approach. Aswina gestured to be alert.

"Aswenda, do you feel it?" Aswina assured her heart to her friend.

"From the North direction, there are about a hundred people, not humans but demons", Aswenda replied in a frightened tone.

All the troops began to prepare in position with all the unsheathed weapons in his hands.

"Please my lord, I feel there will be something bad

Please do not let the Prabu get out of here" Aswina said while worshipping the king.

The king's eyes also observed an unusual wind. Plus the sound of birds also disappeared behind the trees. "Do your duty, Aswina!" prabu Kertawirya's orders with a stern tone as if he did not want to suffer defeat.

Aswina stepped up quickly taking a position at the front. His eyes continued to observe the increasingly hostile wind movements. His heart began to beat rapidly accompanied by sweat that poured down the body.

He glanced towards the rear, "all prepared, the enemy is coming", cried the young Aswina fieryly. One of the magic kris prepared in the hand with a position ready to slash the enemy. Ki Jagasatru name keris ancestral it.

Shortly after, the ground began to tremble with dust from the North. A pack of wolf stealth roars and barks preparing to pounce on the king. The young Aswina did not let that happen, she jumped up while slashing the neck of one of the stealth troops.

A great battle also broke out in the midst of the dense forest. All the teams are fighting agility and devotion. They kicked each other until some of them fell victim. Aswina watched the casualties from her army begin to fall towards the front. Aswina ambushed the leader of the ferocious demon. "Death to you, demon", cried Aswina as she swung Ki Jagasatru's heirloom. But unfortunately the demon dodged.

"How dare you Aswina, watch out for you!!", growled the demon while calling his magic heirloom a big machete.

Aswina paused for a moment her attack while observing the stealth force. "Hi, who are you. Dare to attack our entourage?" ki Aswina asked furiously with a hardened jaw.

The demon instead laughed out loud, "Ha ha ha, I am Ki Cambra Berag, I am the leader of the wolf demon in this forest, will I cut you all down!!!?"

"Aaaaaauuuuuummmmmm".

Ki Cambra Berag roars fiercely making some of the guard soldiers bounce back. "Your king's meat is special, it must be delicious to eat" Ki Cambra Berag said with spit dripping from her mouth.

On the other hand, it looks as if Aswina's best friend is fighting it out. Aswenda was surrounded by ten demons and cornered in a large tree. He seemed helpless in the face of his enemy's attack. His body started to stagger with a few punches and kicks right into his chest and stomach. A sickening and suffocating nausea filled his soul. The young man's eyes started to fade and his head was dizzy. Not satisfied with the situation, the pain and fresh blood poured out to make the swordsman limp helpless. A sharp sword had struck the heart. The demons cheered happily celebrating the victory.

Aswina gasped to see Aswenda slaughtered before her own eyes. Without a second thought he darted and attacked the Aswenda slaughterer. Anger and emotion overwhelmed his brain. Tears that accompany a blind attack disintegrate every approaching enemy. But Aswina forgot the task and the strategy that had been designed.

While Aswina was busy on the other side, Ki Cambra Berag was unrivalled on the front side. He managed to slaughter the twenty bodyguard soldiers who attacked him. He continued to dart until faced with Prabu Kertawirya.

The Prabu Kertawirya was surprised to find himself surrounded by enemies. He started dodging into the army at the back. But unfortunately, a sabetage of the sword Ki Cambra Berag machete managed to land on the prabu's arm.

"Aaaauuuuummmmmmmmmmm", Ki Cambra Agate roared while laughing with her roar. The demon roars at each other beckoning to his friend. Their main target has been injured. "Ha ha ha ha, give up you Kertawirya, you've been hurt" Ki Cambra Berag said as he brandished his machete.

The prabu was covered in blood and shivered so scared. An overwhelming pain and pain felt on his arm. His eyes increasingly glared at the sight of a huge machete swung towards him. He resigned in fear with his eyes closed.

"Tiiidddaaaakkkk", shouted one of the king's guards quickly fending off the machete with an heirloom keris.

Ki Pasupati and Ki Soma emerge from behind the train and attack Ki Cambra Berag. Ki Pasupati and Ki Soma at that time were still the same age as young Aswina and became a platoon of the king's guard. The two young men then fought desperately with the best heirloom. Spear Ki Buru Semang in the hands of young Ki Pasupati and kris Ki Pancar Geni in the hands of young Ki Soma.

Flashes of lightning and flames lit up at every encounter of weapons that occurred. Dust and wind are blowing. The fishy smell of blood pouring colored the war.

At some point, the young Ki Soma was able to corner his enemy. "Death to the stealth", the swordsman choked while slashing at Ki Cambra Berag's back.

The demon staggered with a gaping wound on its back. Looking at the already helpless enemy, the young Ki Pasupati ran from behind, "this is my part, annihilate you demon!!!" Ki Buru Spear Clover glided smoothly and pierced through the stomach of Ki Cambra Berag. The demon was reduced to an unflagging ashes.

The remnants of the stealth forces ran away in the forest. They did not expect his powerful chief Mandraguna to have been killed. On the other hand, the king's guards were happy to mix in mourning. The wounded Kertawirya Prabu decided to return to the Kingdom of Panca Bumi with grief.

Elsewhere, the young Aswina lamented the departure of her best friend Aswenda. He was so sad to see Aswenda's dead body being savagely slaughtered. On the day of the funeral, Aswina had taken a sword that was still stuck in Aswenda's body. Shouts of humiliation and insults from all walks of life continued to flow into Aswina's ears. All that continued to happen until Sang Prabu Kertawirya called all the guards on duty at that time.

Inside the room filled with sad Susana, several people gathered. The Prabu Kertawirya was on the throne staring at the remaining one by one bodyguards. "Listen to my loyal bodyguards, I gather you here to announce the change of office of the new chief of the king's guard".

Hearing such a king's word, the young Aswina's face flushed red and felt ashamed of her failure yesterday. He looked down and did not dare to raise his face. In the room was seen the rest of the king's bodyguards were still nineteen people. Only Aswina dared not look the king in the eyes.

"Aswina, from the way you led yesterday was very bad, a lot of casualties on our side. For that, you will be replaced by Kaladana", said the prabu clearly and briefly.

"Okay majesty, I understand", said Aswina, looking down with guilt.

All eyes were on Kaladana in the back row who was smiling with satisfaction. With a lustful gaze of worldly eyes he stepped forward and paid his respects to the king. Ki Pasupati saw the strangeness that occurred in the body of the organization that overshadowed them. So is Ki Soma who does not agree with the decision of Sang Prabu Kertawirya.

Aswina relinquished her post and tried to be heartened to admit her failure. But his eyes accidentally saw the sword Kaladana was carrying at that time similar to the shape that pierced Aswenda's chest to death.
