The Fire Dragon Sword
The Golden City of Wentira II
(Golden City of Wentira, the interior of the Celebes forest)
"Tell His Majesty, I want to face". Said a stoic man to the guard soldiers.
The soldier immediately nodded without asking a word, It is understandable because the one who gave the order to him was the confidant of King Wentira as well as the most powerful swordsman Wentira had.
The man stared at the magnificent buildings around him all made of gold while waiting for his King to receive his presence.
Tucked a wry smile on his lips when remembering his life confined within this magnificent city. Not only him but the entire people of Wentira never left the city. Only a few soldiers with special permission were allowed to leave the city for important mission missions. They were all confined in a splendor that they did not really need.
The Kumari supreme leader's past misadventures drive them into seclusion in the unspoiled forests of Celebes and rebuild civilization in hiding. With science and some books they managed to bring with them while fleeing, they re-built a new civilization.
They decided to convene and isolate themselves to save the martial world. Those who understand best how dangerous what is in the lake of fire, for that they hide while guarding one of the houses of the gods hidden among their magnificent buildings.
They believe that the child in the prophecy will be born and erase the past mistakes of Kumari kandan, an ancient civilization that has been very advanced in both science and science kanuragannya.
"Commander, your majesty is waiting for you in the star room". The soldier was polite.
The man simply nodded and walked over while frowning his forehead.
"Star room? why did His Majesty choose that place to meet me?". The man murmured in his heart.
His name is Dananjaya, the warlord of the trust of King Wentira as well as the supreme leader of the 9 warriors of the Wentira guard who was directly under the command of the King.
"Hamba to His Majesty". Dananjaya spoke from outside the door made of gold.
"Commander Commander". Gently replied someone from inside that magnificent room.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty". Dananjaya entered the room heartily, she obviously did not want to offend her King.
Dananjaya knelt respectfully before sitting politely before Tanwira, the highest King of the Kingdom of Wentira as well as the last descendants of King Kumari kandam earlier.
"What do you want to talk to me about?". Tanya Tanwira softly.
"Sorry Your Highness...". Dananjaya seemed hesitant to continue his words.
"You want to ask me why I'm asking you to meet in the Star Room?".
Dananjaya nodded slowly. "Wouldn't this place not have been opened for thousands of years".
Tanwira smiled at the commander who was very loyal to him.
"Thousands of years we guarded this room without daring to enter it because it was in this room that the entrance of one of the five houses of the gods was located. Don't you feel fed up? bored of? locked in this place waiting for the child in a prophecy that never appears. It is unconsciously we who bear the faults and greed of our ancestors".
"Your Majesty". Dananjaya said.
"It's okay Commander, I'll keep this place as strong as I can because what's in there is very dangerous. Sometimes I just want to kill my dad if I think about his stupidity in the past".
"Hamba understands His Majesty's feelings". Dananjaya said slowly.
"Commander, have you heard of the attack on one of the houses of the gods in Jawata Land? it seems like the red sky warriors started to move after their failure to attack us. I'm meeting you in this room because we need to be prepared if they manage to find their way in and attack again".
"Please Your Majesty don't worry too much, I've updated the security system of this place". Dananjaya.
"I believe in your abilities but there is a news that says if there is a warrior who is able to generate energy we must take it seriously. Banaspati energy can trigger the opening of the center of our civilization faster than the prophecy, it will be very dangerous for this world. I want you to lead the army to close all entry and assign the Nine Swordsman Guardians of the World to stand guard at each entrance point".
"Okay, Your Majesty". Dananjaya lowered his head.
"I hope what Ken Panca promised me when I let him into Wentira is in his stead". Tanwira took a deep breath, reminiscing about his meeting with Ken Panca.
"You mean that weird young man promise you found in the woods?".
Tanwira nodded softly "He is not a strange Commander, he is a very talented and clever boy. He promised me to create an heirloom that would one day help us destroy the Swordsman of the heavens and keep the Fire Lord alive until the time comes for the Son in the prophecy to open it".
"You believe his words?". Dananjaya scrunched his forehead, he was confused by the attitude of his King who was so trusting with Ken Panca.
"One day you'll understand why I trusted him so much and I'm still waiting for his promise".

"We'd better go uncle, maybe Ciha's a little late because there's something on the way. He can help Suliwa's grandfather solve the mystery here". Sabrang said to Wardhana who is still waiting for the arrival of Siha.
They had rewinded the schedule a day because they still hoped that Ciha would show up but until that afternoon there was no sign of him coming.
Not without reason Wardhana wants Ciha in his team. He had expected it to be very difficult to deal with the puzzle and mystery of the lake of fire. He needed a partner to deal with the intelligence of the Red Sky Swordsman and Ciha was the most appropriate person.
But Wardhana's steps came to a halt when she saw the face of someone she knew, the expressionless Cold face looking at her confusedly as they passed by.
"If you get here, it's no small matter". Say cold phallus as usual. He is seen walking with Ciha and accompanied by one of the disciples of the northern ice Tread.
"Make sure you don't get hurt again, I don't want you to burden me". Answer Wardhana.
"You're smart to brag like your master!". Lingga Eject.
"Don't I tell uncle that this man will trouble us while we're on Celebes land". Umpat Sabrang is upset.
"Have stopped your childish nature". Ciha tried to mediate. Did you say Celebes? The land really exists?". asked Ciha curiously.
Sabrang nodded softly "We're going to leave today as well".
Siha's countenance became excited after hearing Sabrang's reply. She had long heard of Celebes' whereabouts and this time she was going to visit him.
***
After a long quarrel between Mentari and Tungga the goddess finally they understood why Sabrang did not invite them. Suliwa needs them both to guard the northern ice tread sect.
They served as the head of the white-flow alliance and became the liaison to the black stream. Their job is to ensure that there is no friction between the streams until the problem with the red skyscraper is complete.
"Are you sure you gave this job to them? Make sure there's no friction between the streams but they're fighting all the time, what the elders really have in mind". Ask Mantili.
"It wasn't me who put together this team, the Duke who planned all this. I'm sure he has a plan behind all this. Don't you realize it, elder? He selects team members according to the needs and character of the team. This time I was scared of someone". Said Suliwa while shaking her head slowly.

"Is there a secret passageway to the Celebes mainland?". Siha asked in surprise when Arung invited them to enter a cave near the high sea. Along the way Ciha was curious how Arung would escort them to Celebes land.
But Ciha gasped in surprise when Arung invited them to enter the cave.
Arung gave a small smile hearing Ciha's words. "Come with me, I have something to show you". Arung stepped into the cave followed by the others.
After walking for a long time in the cave, they heard the sound of waves hitting the rock.
"The end of this cave is headed for the open ocean". Wardhana murmured in my heart.
Their eyes did not blink an inch when they saw a ship leaning against the end of the cave. The construction and reliefs written on the ship's body made them jerk in shock.
"This ship was built with very advanced science. Did they build this ship after seeing the paratons? or...". Wardhana dissolves in her own thoughts. He was really amazed by the large and sturdy ship that was in front of him.
"We named him Celebes' Ark. Let's go in, this ship will take you to Celebes land". Bring Direction.
However, their steps came to a halt when dozens of masked warriors approached them.
"Prieve your intention to leave, I will release you if you hand over the treasure to us". Threaten one of the warriors.
"Something doesn't want us to go". Said the cold Lingga, he drew his sword and prepared to attack.
"Are they part of the swordsman who attacked the northern ice Tread sect?". Ask Sabrang.
"I don't know but whoever they are, we won't be let go".
"Arung, bring uncle and Ciha in. I'll catch up after I clean them up". The flames began to envelop Sabrang's body.
"Good". Answer Arung slowly.
Seeing Arung and the others not heeding their threat, the warriors suddenly attacked.
"I won't let you get any steps closer". Sabrang turned his left arm in the air. Before long a kris appeared in the air and attacked the swordsman who began to attack.
What made Sabrang and Lingga surprised was that the keris seemed to penetrate their bodies but did not injure them at all.
"intriguing". Said Sabrang who immediately moved to attack. His blue eyes were shining brightly again.
"I won't let that fool kill everyone and leave me nothing". The phallus disappeared from view.
