Punishment
“What have you done to them, Rangga?!” Ki Mangkubumi’s emotions flared to a fever pitch the moment his eyes fell upon the five trusted students he had nurtured for years—now crumpled on the forest floor, broken and helpless.At the sight of his master’s rage, a devious plan sparked to life in Barda’s mind. This was his chance to turn father against son, to twist the truth to save his own skin.“Forgive us, Master,” he cried out, his voice trembling with feigned fear and innocence. “Rangga has accused us of framing him in days past—the very lie that led you to cast him out of our halls. Now, with no witnesses save these woods, he has sworn to kill us all!”Rangga’s eyes widened in disbelief, his own anger surging to match his father’s. He opened his mouth to protest, to defend himself against the vile falsehood—but Ki Mangkubumi’s thunderous voice cut through the air before a single word could pass his lips.“Have you no shame left to call me father, Rangga?!” the master roared, his fa
Rangga’s Wrath
The five men—Barda and his companions—could only swallow hard, their throats tight with terror. The figure they had so carelessly dismissed as an easy mark had, in truth, defeated them with shocking ease—armed with nothing more than a simple branch of wood.They exchanged frantic glances, their minds racing with no clear path to safety. Returning to the Dragon Sword Academy was unthinkable now—their disguise had been stripped away, their treachery exposed for what it was. Yet even if escape had been an option, they stood helpless before a man whose skill far surpassed not only their own combined strength, but even that of Ki Mangkubumi himself, the revered master of their order.“It seems death is the only choice you have left to make,” Aji said, his lips curling into a smile that carried more menace than warmth—a silent threat that hung heavy in the still forest air.The handsome man brought his hands together, and with a sharp crack that echoed through the trees, he snapped the bran
A Gentle Assault
Before beginning his practice, Aji leaned back against the massive trunk of the ancient tree, stretching his legs out before him to ease the weariness that had settled in his bones after nearly two hours of steady walking. The forest floor beneath him was soft with moss and fallen leaves, offering a cushion for his tired feet as he let his shoulders slump in relaxation.Without warning, a gentle breeze drifted through the canopy above—warm and sweet with the scent of wildflowers and damp earth—and wrapped around him like a soft blanket. In an instant, a heavy drowsiness washed over him, coaxing away the last traces of his resolve to train. The woods lay so still and serene, their quiet broken only by the melodious trill of songbirds hidden among the branches, and Aji found himself powerless to resist the pull of sleep. Slowly, almost imperceptibly, his eyelids drifted shut, sealing out the dappled sunlight that filtered through the leaves.The handsome man—soon to wed for the second t
Training in the Woods
“We have walked side by side since we were but eight or nine years of age—bound by a friendship that has weathered every storm life has cast our way,” Wicaksono declared with unwavering resolve, his eyes turning toward Dirman and Sentono, whose faces still bore the marks of doubt and hesitation. “And what of you two? Will you stand with us in this hour of need?”Dirman and Sentono exchanged long, weighted glances, their minds wrestling with the gravity of the choice before them. For a moment, the air hung thick with uncertainty as they steeled their resolve and fortified their spirits, knowing full well the path they were considering would lead them far from the principles they had sworn to uphold.At last, twin nods broke the silence—firm, deliberate gestures that banished the shadows of doubt from their thoughts and sealed their allegiance to their friend’s cause.“We will stand with you,” Dirman said, his voice steady despite the turmoil churning within him. A faint, cryptic smile
The Pact
“Foul treachery! For so long have I coveted Ratih with every fiber of my being—how could the Master grant his blessing to a man he has scarce laid eyes upon?” murmured the figure lurking in the shadows, his gaze fixed upon the distant courtyard where whispered words of betrothal had drifted to his ears. “I will not suffer to see Ratih bound to another. This wedding—this union—must be undone by any means necessary!”With a countenance twisted by bitter resentment, the man turned and strode away from his vantage point, each step heavy with the weight of jealousy that clouded his reason and blotted out all sense of right and wrong. His mind was consumed by a singular purpose, leaving no room for caution or conscience.Through winding corridors and beneath arched doorways he pressed, his path leading toward a chamber where raucous laughter spilled into the hallway like liquid gold. The man—some thirty years of age, with sharp features carved by both time and ambition—paused at the thresho
The Mysterious Pair of Eye
If there is the word NAGA, it means Dragon.*****Ki Mangkubumi shook his head slowly, his weathered features etched with a mixture of awe and disbelief. For more than forty years, he had walked the path of the warrior, his senses honed to a razor’s edge through decades of training and combat—yet he had failed utterly to perceive the immense inner power that dwelled within the man who would soon be his son-in-law. It felt as though he had spent his life gazing upon a river, never realizing the vast ocean that lay hidden beyond its shores.“Why do you remain silent, Sir? Will you not answer my question?” Aji asked, his smile warm and steady as he looked upon the head of the Dragon Sword Academy—his eyes holding no trace of triumph, only a deep and abiding respect for the elder’s wisdom and journey.“It seems I have no grounds to refuse you, Aji,” Ki Mangkubumi replied in a quiet voice, the weight of his earlier arrogance now pressing heavily upon his heart. “You possess gifts that set
