The Thousand Mask Warrior

The Thousand Mask Warrior
Lesson Four - Fishing



Almira walks in the yard of her house in Mataram. Pregnancy makes him a little weak because he often vomits and he himself loses his appetite.


"You are indeed a special baby, my son," said Almira while stroking her stomach which is still completely invisible characteristics of pregnancy because it is very young.


The beauty of this woman is increasingly evident by the courtship of the weakened afternoon sun. Although he himself began to lose weight due to lack of food and almost always vomit every morning, his charm never fade or disappear in the slightest.


"Why doesn't Nyai just rest in the room?" suddenly two house guards came. One of them spoke.


"Ah, I've been in the room too long. When can I be healthy. My son-to-be is wayward, maybe as strong as his father. So, I might be the weak one. How will I prepare for his birth, this stubborn and powerful one?" reply Almira.


Jaka Pasirluhur soon emerged from behind the fence with two princesses who used to look after and care for Almira during this young pregnancy. It beckoned the two guards to retreat.


"His. If indeed Nyai is still weak, it's good I think for more rest first. After all, there are two arms that always take care of Nyai. One of them also knows the science of baby shamans, the science of childbirth, Nyai," said Jaka Pasirluhur.


Almira smiles. "Don't worry too much, Brother Jaka. I understand my limits. Besides, if it's too spoiled, I'll lose myself."


Jaka Pasirluhur nodded. There is a fundamental change in the body and nature of the head of this group of soldiers and guards, Almira thought. Especially since he lost one hand. Indeed, no one can blame the changes that occur when the fateful thing happens to someone. But, the change in Jaka Pasirluhur is not only a bad change.


He did become a little more quiet and earnest because he was not always joking like before. However, his body had now become slimmer yet dense and agile. He has stayed away from wine, gambling and having fun. He spent a lot of time practicing kanuragan science. The absence of his left palm made him have to rethink his moves in order to be used to his advantage when fighting enemies. Until now, he was quite satisfied with the rapid progress in that short time.


Jaka Pasirluhur looked at the two princesses of Almira. "Hey seems to still want to be here. Go clean up the room and wait for Nyai there, "he ordered.


When both arms were gone, she clenched her palms together in front of her forehead, nodded to Almira, then said, "Hey, let me find Nyai's husband, Jayaseta," she asked for permission.


Almira jerks. Surprised and unprepared with what Jaka Pasirluhur said and asked.


Jaka Pasirluhur sighed, lowering his face. "Jayaseta was actually in the Malay state of Nyai. Desas desus to the whole country. Everyone is talking about the emergence of the Thousand Mask Warrior in the Sultanate of Johor Riau, until Melaka."

Jayaseta relaxes the body and removes the horses. He understood now, the Style of All Forms is a perfect blend of all the styles of silat and moves that Baharuddin Labbiri mastered. All moves with extraordinary intelligence, made into a new silat style where one attack contains a variety of blended styles.


It was amazing, Jayaseta thought.


Contrary to Jayaseta's No-Stick, where all the moves he mastered were melted down so that they were no longer in the form of a style, but rather a way to defeat the enemy with the most appropriate.


Jayaseta stomped her feet to the ground. A trickle, as if he were about to attack.


Baharuddin Labbiri is hooked.


It's darting forward. Jayaseta is ready.


The order of the attack of Baharuddin Labbiri is now in his trap. The Jayaseta No-Stick moves absorb every attack of Baharuddin Labbiri and melts it down by doing a reversal of the moves.


When Baharuddin Labbiri's elbow strikes in Tomoi's Silat style, Jayaseta uses Pattani's Gayong Silat. When the Kelantan Silat attack was used, Jayaseta held it with the Kedah silat. When Baharuddin Labbiri used the attack of Gayong Terengganu's style, Jayaseta implanted his Silat Tomoi knee.


Baharuddin Labbiri was confused because his nurse was smashed. Thus, Jayaseta darted forward to present Bogem Watu Gunung, Thunder Kick from the South and Buddha Site to the body of the Tun Guru.


Baharuddin Labbiri endured all the attacks with his arms and shoulders. He retreated far back, then raised one of his hands high. "Stop, Jayaseta. The lesson is over. You won," he exclaimed.
