The Fire Dragon Sword
Sabrang Request
"How can you be this strong, son?". Ki Ageng spoke quietly in his room. Ki Ageng did realize that Sabrang had extraordinary talent but he did not expect Sabrang to be this strong in such a short time.
When he felt a great inner energy before the arrival of Sabrang he thought it was energy in the property of Kertaura but it turned out that it was in Sabrang.
"The story is long cake, a lot of things I've been through all this time". Sabrang told Ki Ageng everything including finding an eternal flame that had been refined within a ravine. Also about Keris the ruler of darkness he now has.
"Then is your business done?". Ask Ki Ageng.
Sabrang shook his head slowly, "Three more full lights Dieng's door will open the cake, I want to visit mother's grave before preparing everything. Besides I want to meet Grandpa's teacher to tell you this". Sabrang.
Ki Angen was speechless hearing Sabrang's words, he looked at Sabrang for a moment. There is a sense of pride in his heart, the child who used to always make trouble has now grown into a swordsman pick match may even have passed him.
"You really want to get into Dieng, son?". Ki Ageng sighed.
Sabrang nodded "I have to go in there cake, something seems to be pulling me there and I want to make sure what it is".
Ki Ageng closed his eyes for a moment.
"Before your mother did not she forbid me to teach you pagan science but I seemed to have failed to carry out the mandate of Her Majesty the Queen. You're like destined to plunge into the martial world". Ki Ageng.
"Sorry kek". Sabrang said softly as he bowed his head. He remembered very well ki Ageng tried his hardest to seduce him not to learn the science of canuragan but Sabrang always refused and forced Ki Ageng to teach him the science of canuragan.
"You're not wrong, son, you've become a swordsman. Grandpa just told you to use your strength as best you can". Ki Ageng smiled gently.
As they were talking, the door of the room opened.
"I thought you were the one making the fuss". Suliwa appears from behind the door with Wulan Sari.
"Teacher". Ki Ageng lowered his head.
"How does the teacher know I'm back?". Sabrang said slowly.
"Easy enough, I felt the dark lord's keris energy approaching and only the descendants of the Dwipa breed could conquer that kris. You seem to be getting stronger, son". Suliwa smiled gently.
But Suliwa's smile did not last long when he looked at Sabrang's eyes as well as Wulan sari.
"So you really raised the eyes of the moon huh?". Suliwa's face turned serious.
"Moon's eyes?". Ki Ageng who is now surprised after hearing Suliwa's words.
Suliwa was seen taking a deep breath "As the owner of a 7-star body I had predicted you would awaken that eye but I didn't expect it to be this fast".
"Are these eyes very dangerous?". Sabrang asked after noticing that Suliwa's countenance had changed.
"The "moon eye is commonly referred to as the curse eye because it absorbs the life energy of a 7-star body owner. He will give you the ability to see a few seconds ahead but as a payment he will change you slowly. Your nature will be angry because all you have in mind is to fight. You're lucky to have a Fire Dragon inside your body, I'm sure he'll be as strong as he can suppress that eye effect because he's also after your body".
Sabrang nodded his head, he also felt after mastering the perfect level immortal fire science slowly he was irritable.
"Is there no way to deal with this teacher?". Ki Ageng asked slowly. He was quite worried after seeing for himself how ruthlessly Sabrang slaughtered the Majasari soldiers earlier.
"I'm not sure but it is said that something in Dieng's red valley can neutralize those eyes. But then again I'm not sure because it's all just a story". Suliwa looked at Sabrang for a moment before continuing his words.
"Son, I've met your father, he's a good man. I thought your father was the owner of a 7-star body but he wasn't. Your father once told me that if you can choose he does not want to be born as a descendant of the Dwipa breed. There's a dark history in your breed's past, I hope you're really holding back the moon's Eye effect or it's going to happen again".
"Cleather history?". Sabrang scrunched his forehead.
"I can't tell you right now, you'll find out when we get into Dieng".
"Then what did you find in the Sky Star sect?". Suliwa tried to divert the conversation to the eyes of the moon because he was afraid Sabrang asked a lot. "It's not time you found out, son". He murmured in his heart.
Sabrang then told him everything he knew including about the Dieng gate which opens only once a year.
"Three more full-blown ones. Looks like enough time for me to make a little preparation". Suliwa.

Sabrang stepped slowly down the mountain slope with ki Ageng. His mind drifted somewhere, this was the first time he had visited his mother's grave.
"Here I found Her Majesty the Queen was injured while I was searching for firewood. I'm so sorry I found him so late, son". Say ki Ageng slowly.
His clenched hand held back the anger and without him noticing the pitch-black aura began to envelop his body.
"Remember your teacher's grandfather's message". Ki Ageng warned Sabrang to hold back his anger.
"Sorry kek". Sabrang nodded slowly, he pulled back the black aura on his body.
"It's very difficult to control these eyes, I have to be careful". Sabrang said in his heart.
"Is that mom's grave?". Sabrang pointed to a well-preserved mound of earth not far from where he stood.
Ki Ageng nodded "Go, I'll wait here".
Sabrang stepped closer to his mother's grave, his heart trembling as he stared at the tomb.
"Mother, I came to see you". Tears dripped from his eyes.
"Are you with me mom? If she's with you please tell her what should I do ma'am?. I really don't know what to do".
"Grandfather can leave me alone? I'll spend the night here tonight, tomorrow before sunrise I'll be back". Sabrang lirih.
"Good kid".
***
As Sabrang began to control himself he began to realize there was something strange about his mother's grave. Some purple flowers were seen in her mother's grave.
"This flower? Did grandpa put it here". It was as if he had seen that purple flower.
"Where have I seen him?". Sabrang tried to remember.
"Secte of the Sky Star". Sabrang finally remembered if he had ever seen that flower growing in the Sky Star Sect. Before long he scrunched his forehead in confusion. The purple flower only grew on the hill of Cetho.
"Who brought him here?". Sabrang's countenance suddenly changed as he recalled his last conversation with Lingga maheswara moments before leaving the Sky Star sect.
"I must go somewhere before returning to the black Demon sect. Be careful, I will wait for you at the foot of Cetho 3 full moon again".
A smile formed on Sabrang's lips as he remembered the word.
"Thank you". Sabrang said slowly.
***
Everyone in the room gasped in shock at Sabrang's request. They didn't think Sabrang would ask for anything unreasonable.
"Nak there is nothing but darkness. After all, the base of the Valley of Orang sukma is a sacred place for the Red Lotus group, there is the coronation of the new head of the red lotus group. I'm afraid I can't grant it". Wulan sari.
"Sir, I beg you this time". Sabrang is still trying to seduce Wulan sari.
"What are you really going to do there?". Ask Wulan sari.
"I want to train for a few full moons there without anyone interrupting before Dieng's gate opens. I have to increase my strength Grandma, we don't know what we're going to meet in Dieng".
Wulan sari took a deep breath while looking at Suliwa asking for approval.
"Well, Tantri will take you to the bottom of the valley. But you have to remember three more full moons that the gate will open, don't be late for a ride or you'll be left behind".
"Thank you, Grandma, I'm gonna sink in". Sabrang walked quickly out with a pleased face.
Sabrang stopped his steps right in front of the door when he saw Mentari who was looking at him sadly.
"I have to do this". Sabrang said slowly.
"i know". Answer Mentari slowly.
"Let's stay here with grandpa, two more full moons I'll pick you up". Sabrang said with a warm smile.
"Your young master, be careful".
