The Sun Warrior's

A Catastrophe And A Curse

Goa skulls of death, the Southern region, the mortal world.

Saika returned to one of the empty rooms where she had been wearing with her mother. But how surprised he was when he saw the mother was already lying weakly on top of his simple bed.

"Mother ... What happened to my mother?" Saika ran over to her mother full of worries.

The mother did not answer him because of difficulty in speaking. But the middle-aged woman began to reach for Saika's fingers and rubbed her gently while giving a fold of letter to Saika.

But what makes Saika surprised instead of playing is, apparently the mother was exposed to a poison that makes her hands blackened jet.

"Higan flower death poison?" saika muttered as if her world had been destroyed instantly. Because seeing the poison that has spread more and more on the body of the mother.

"Your mother was poisoned when she came out leaving Goa the skull of the death of this mortal world" said a young man who was none other than one of Kenshin's accomplices, Neji.

"We can't do anything. Because the poison cannot be cured and neutralized. The poison can only be moved as a replacement container. Of course we will not be able to replace him." added Neji who still put his hands together and leaned against the wall of the cave.

Saika stiffened her jaw and clenched her hands together, "Who did all this?"

"I found an object with the symbol of a chrysanthemum flower and a dragon. And that means the perpetrator is from the Fumio empire." Neji said.

Saika began to panic when she saw the mother who was increasingly seen in pain, holding the poison had begun to spread on her blood vessels. Without thinking, Saika immediately did something with a fairly fast hand movement.

Saika intends to remove the death poison of the higan flower at its collapse as its new container. However, Neji, realizing all this, stops Saika and brushes off Saika's chakra, until the poison fails to be removed.

"Don't sacrifice yourself! The demon sect still needs you so much! Don't disappoint prince Kenshin and commander Nakai!" neji's toilet now remembers Saika's body with her purple silk binder.

"Take me off, Neji! I have to save my mother! Pekik Saika tries to remove Neji's silk binder, but Saika can't escape. Because the purple silk binder will only be released if the owner wills.

"We can't save her anymore, Saika! Stay alive and get your revenge on all this!!"

The last seconds of the middle-aged woman exhaling her last breath, she shook her head weakly as she stared fixedly at Saika.

"Ibuuuuuu ..." Saika's roaring cry filled Goa's skull of the death of this mortal world and her cries began to break just like that.

But suddenly Saika began to remember the letter given by the mother at the last seconds before her mother died. Now he began to open and read the letter.

Seen scribbles in it with a slightly less neat writing. It can be concluded if the mother wrote the letter when she was exposed to the poison of death of the higan flower.

Princess Saika, through this letter I want to tell you the truth. Go to Itsuki empire and leave the demon sect. You must know the truth, if you are actually an imperial princess. Your biological mother was the queen mother of Noahime of Itsuki Empire. While your father was the emperor Zeus of the Fumio empire. Your mother loves you very much and is always waiting for you to come back. Come back .. and meet him. Don't let your heart and yourself get stuck here.

Unfeeling the tears Saika began to wet her pale cheeks. The whole feeling in his heart was now raging into one. A feeling of sadness, feeling lost, not understanding filled his heart at this moment.

"Then why did he dump me? Why would that woman named Nouhime throw me away?!! Why did I come to see him while he didn't want me at all?! I will not beg for mercy and affection, Mother! My mom is just you! And until whenever it's just you!"

Tandas Saika in his sobs.

"Ayahanda, forgive ananda who has failed to stop the demon sect as she retrieved the spiritual stones as well as spiritual energy belonging to the demon Bakekujira." Fujin sat quietly before Zhou as he faced her in the main hall.

"If only ananda was more agile, persistent, and skilled to pursue it at that time. Even ananda was too late to stop his actions in the Red Sea Goa." added Fujin lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhou's face.

"Everything has happened. And all is destined. Now we must prepare to face the curse of Bakekujira. Some scouts reported that in some areas Nobuhide and the animal race had been overgrown by Jubokko" Zhou said with a serious look.

"In addition there are some undead that also began to attack in some areas" Zhou said.

"Jubokko and the undead?" fujin said, starting to dare to raise his face to look at Zhou.

"really. Jubokko is a very dangerous blood-sucking tree. And these trees had already begun to grow in the territory of Nobuhide empire and the empire of the beast race that had the closest layout to the Red Sea. Usually Jubokko will only grow in the place of war or mass murder. That is, when the land of the region is inundated by the blood of the men of war, then this tree will appear around it. But now Jubokko just grows very fertile. No doubt, if the growth of Jubokko is one of the curses of Bakekujira."

Said Zhou analyzing and concluding.

"Jubokko looks like an ordinary tree in general, so if not careful can ambush its prey very quickly. But if you look more carefully, it will look like human bones scattered under the tree. They often attack and then suck the blood of humans who happen to pass around the tree" said the palace advisor Fumio.

"If anyone tries to cut down this tree, blood will come out of the bark of the tree. The wound that bleeds will immediately close and heal back as before. The trunk of a tree that contains this blood can be a very deadly poison. And it can also make the affected humans will be like the undead." added the palace adviser.

"The curse of Bakekujira is a disaster for all of us. If it is not resolved soon, it will take more and more victims" said one Daimyo.

"Ayahanda, because stopping the demon sect has been thwarted by me, then this time Ananda will try harder to face Jubokko and all the undead" Fujin said with great determination.
