The Story of the Forecast Swordsman

The Secret Behind the Clouds

After a long debate between Ki Soma and the Goddess of the afternoon flower, the grandfather resigned with the establishment of his son. For the safety of Satria, Ki Soma departed to a place that could not be reached by ordinary humans.

Satria and Dewi Sekarwangi or the daughter of the Lion king Murti followed from behind with Dewi Kembang. There weren't many supplies they brought considering their journey was quite far.

The trip was quite a secret because only a few people knew. They began to enter the dense forest in the hills filled with wild animals. While winding and narrow roads often hamper their pace. Their breath began to thin along with the increasingly steep streets.

It was getting dark and it was not possible to continue in the middle of the night. Fatigue and hunger began to fall on them.

"Mom, am I hungry?" satria said to her mother Goddess Kembang.

"Yes son, patiently we are looking for a safe place first" Dewi Kembang answered Satria's question while leading her down the tree.

"Dad, we should rest here pity the children are exhausted" said the goddess of flowers to Ki Soma who is still eager to walk.

Ki Soma had no other choice but to come rest with them. But the grandfather remained vigilant observing the circumstances around him.

"Satria, here's the lunch, get fast at eating boy!" exclaim Dewi Kembang while opening a stock of rice wrapped with banana leaf sheets.

"Baik Bu" said Satria excited while devouring their rice lunch.

Meanwhile, Dewi Kembang stared at Dewi Sekarwangi in astonishment. The little girl was silent just looking at her provisions. Every now and then he looked at the Flower Goddess shyly as if he wanted to ask for something.

"Ni Dewi Sekarwangi, what's wrong? Why not eat?" ask Dewi Kembang while stroking the child's face. From the look of his face, he still holds the mystery of life that has not been revealed.

"Mother Goddess, may I call you mother?" ask Dewi Sekarwangi with a reddish face of shame.

"May son, we are a new family Ni Dewi now" replied the Goddess of flowers while laughing happily hugging Goddess Sekarwangi with affection.

They can momentarily adjust their breath after finishing their supplies. Late at night, a cold wind began to hit their bodies wrapped in thick cloth. Ki Soma stood guard that night without falling asleep for a second. Very strong, old grandfather who has energy like a young child. The long and exhausting night was missed, they prepared to continue the journey early in the morning before dawn radiated its rays.

Ki Soma kept an eye on them during the draining journey. The small group began to climb the top of the mountain and saw clouds around them. Ki Soma's face began to sigh and took a deep breath.

"Alright we have arrived, the entrance is behind the stone" Ki Soma said as he showed a large black stone embedded in the mountain peak.

"Cake the cake, we enter, Satria is impatient" Satria asked as he ran towards the stone.

"Prophet my grandson, the door is not yet open" the grandfather shouted in commemoration of Satria.

"Dad open quickly!" exclaiming Goddess Kembang while walking towards her Satria.

"Hai Ni Dewi, opening the gate is not easy, it must be with great inner strength" replied Ki Soma walking following the Goddess of Flower.

When everyone had gathered in front of the entrance, they only found a cave with a mouth covered in a large black stone. They were a little astonished and did not understand unless Ki Soma who was busy reciting a spell to open the gate.

After finishing, Ki Soma started concentrating in front of the mouth of the cave and concentrated the power in both of his open palms and started pushing the stone. Then at once came a light that dazzled their eyes.

"Aaarrrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhh"

all cried out in fear at the strange light from inside the cave.

"What is this cake, Satria cannot see" cried Satria who closed both eyes.

"Dad, why glare, I can't see what" said Dewi Kembang who closed her eyes, and continued to hold Goddess Sekarwangi whose eyes were also closed.

"Stay close your eyes, I will bring you in" said Ki Soma who immediately led them into the cave. As soon as they enter, the cave closes by itself.

"Open your eyes, we have reached our destination" cried Ki Soma while staring at a beautiful place like heaven.

"Where is this dad?" asked Dewi Kembang while flabbergasted to see the expanse of beauty in front of his eyes.

"This is our training ground, we are in a different dimension to humans in general" Ki Soma said.

"A different dimension?" tanya Dewi Kembang was confused and seemed to scratch his head that was not itchy.

"Yes, this dimension is specially made to train the descendants of the guards of the ancient king. This dimension is higher than the human dimension we normally are. Thus the supernatural and evil creatures cannot trace our existence" said Ki Soma explained a mysterious dimension to the Goddess of Flower.

"Then, can ordinary humans enter? ask the Goddess again.

"HaHaHa, there is no way that you can not get the blessing of the king's guard members like me" Ki Soma said while holding his white beard.

They continued on towards an old hut near the lake. The hut had existed from a long time ago when the elders made that dimension. This simple hut is roofed with dry weed leaves and is located in a vast garden.

"Ni Dewi invite Dewi Sekarwangi to clean up this place, I will take Satria somewhere!" exclaim Ki Soma to the Goddess of Flower.

"Good dad" said Dewi Kembang while starting to clean up the hut.

Satria walked following Ki Soma to a roomy place similar to an altar of worship. They sat facing each other looking at each other with serious faces. The wind gently blew against their hair.

"Satria, grandfather's granddaughter, from tomorrow you'll be doing some strenuous training. Prepare yourself" Grandpa Soma said to his granddaughter with a long sigh.

"Good grandfather, Satria will try" said Satria with his innocent face looking at his grandfather.

"Grandfather, can Satria ask?" satria asked her grandfather.

"Of course, my granddaughter, what do you want to ask Grandpa?" sahut Ki Soma while pinching his grandson's tiny cheeks.

"Grandfather I want to ask a lot, one of them is why my birth invites a lot of problems?

Satria began to ask her grandfather a lot, as if he was not a four-year-old boy.

Gradually a positive aura from the boy came out which affected his prestige and instincts. Ki Soma was not surprised to see that, because the dimension they were in was indeed special. Able to generate a positive aura and make the growth of living things become faster five times

fold from the dimension of ordinary man.

"Listen well to Satria, briefly your birth is a unique birth" Ki Soma replied briefly.

"Grandfather, why is it like that, I don't understand?" asked Satria again while scratching her head.

"A little secret of our ancestors will grandfather tell you".

"In the past on a continent there was a country that had vast power. The country is very safe and peaceful. But the country was finally destroyed by enemy attacks and the king vowed to return in five hundred years. The nine-man king's bodyguards finally agreed to keep the will secret here. After that they spread to various corners and set up stalls to preserve art, tradition and culture.

One of them is martial arts that grandfather inherited. Satria, you are the king's incarnation. Grandpa will make you a knight of choice".

Ki Soma stopped telling stories, until there because everything is a secret of life and should not be leaked.

"Grandfather can only tell you until here, later when it's time you will know for yourself" continued Ki Soma explained the secret of life to Satria his favorite grandson.
