One day on a beautiful full moon night, a bird flew over the Wonosari Royal Palace which was welcoming the new born second son of King Wijaya. At that time Kumara, the wife of King Wijaya, gave birth to her second child on a full moon night. This bird is not an ordinary bird, but the bird comes from the Lentera which is carrying out its mission on the orders of the Queen. Lentera is the kingdom of a witch family led by Kanjeng Ratu Nyai Buyung, this kingdom was formed because a family of witches was exiled and expelled from Wonosari because King Wijaya considered it disturbing. Because they always opposed the King's orders and rebelled by rioting in the kingdom which caused them to be expelled from Wonosari.

 

The bird flew around and hurried back to the Lentera, then the bird landed at the window of a dark room and approached the Queen who was sitting on her throne.

Queen: "what made you come back quickly, Old Lady?"

Then the bird suddenly changed into a creepy old woman, then she said:

Old Woman: "I bring good or bad news for you Mother." While laughing hideously.

Queen: "if it's not about Wonosari, go away... don't bother me or I'll behead you again."

Old Woman: "hahahahaha" guffawed in a sinister tone. "You will regret it if you don't listen to me" while turning around and boasting.

Queen: sighed and said "well hurry up, tell me."

Old Woman: "Wonosari has a new candidate for crown prince"

Queen: "what do you mean?"

Old Woman: "Kumara has given birth to a son. Did the spell you used fail?"

Queen: "what..??" The queen was very surprised by the angry look on her face and stood up from her throne. "that's very impossible... I already cursed her so that she won't give birth to a boy, there's no way my spelling was wrong." With a confused look on his face. "well then, I won't stay silent."

Old Woman: "what are you going to do?"

Queen: "There is no other choice... I will attack Wonosari tonight. I want you to prepare the troops as soon as possible

Old Woman: "OK Mother" while laughing. "This is what I've been waiting for hahaha... finally Mother will avenge her, this will be an unforgettable night for Wijaya"

 

Return to the Palace.

The King approached Kumara with Raden Radya in the room where Kumara gave birth, he walked with a happy face after being welcomed in by the midwife. After he entered he said "I already guessed our baby is a boy." He said that with a very happy feeling.

Kumara: "How do you know that our baby is a boy? Even though the midwife hasn't told you yet, has she?"

King Wijaya: "from his crying... from his crying alone it is very clear he is a man... hahaha.." while turning to Radyan and saying "isn't it Radyan?" And Radyan replied "yes father" with a smile.

Kumara: "what do you think honey? Isn't he very handsome just like you and Radyan "

King Wijaya: "yes... he is very handsome like me and Radya, but his eyebrows and lips are similar to yours Kumara, not only handsome he also looks cute." while smiling and kissing the baby.

Kumara: "Hmmm what do you think would be a good name for him?"

King Wijaya: "You take it easy honey... I've thought about it long before this baby was born. I will name this baby Ra..." Suddenly the sound of thousands of crows came and circled above the Palace which made everyone in the palace suddenly silent and confused.

 

Then the Marhapatih who stood guard at the door of the palace said "this is not a good sign." Then an explosion sounded near the entrance to Wonosari. Then Marhapatih Meda rushed to gather troops and distribute them to both sides.

Marhapatih Meda: "Captain Arjuna!!! I want you to take some of the troops near the entrance to Wonosari. I have to stay on guard here to protect the King."

Captain Arjuna: he said firmly "ready Patih Meda !!. I will bring the troops near the entrance."

Marhapatih Meda: "well you be careful. No matter what happens you must survive Captain.... Defend Wonosari as best you can." Captain Arjuna nodded his head with a face full of confidence. Then Patih Meda rushed to the King to report what happened.

 

Raden Radya: "what's wrong dad?"

King Wijaya: "I don't know, son" he said while turning towards Kumara and whispering "my love, I really don't feel good."

Suddenly there was a sound of someone laughing with a horrible tone.

Kumara: "honey.. did you hear that?" The king heard it and replied "yes.. I heard it."

Kumara: "You remember this sound?? It's like the voice of the Witch Queen. you have to hurry for cover... take Raden and this baby quickly!!. Leave me.. I'm fine."

King Wijaya: "Are you crazy??? There's no way I could do that. I don't want to leave without you Kumara."

Kumara: "I said I'm fine.. leave me. How can I walk?? Just waking up I'm hard... you know that... I just gave birth."

 

Then Patih Meda knocked on the door and said "Your Highness, are you still inside?" And the King replied "yes I'm still inside... come in". Then Patih Meda came in and opened the door slowly. Then the King asked "what's up Meda?".

Marhapatih Meda: "You must immediately take refuge, your majesty!!! The situation outside was not conducive, I even heard an explosion at the entrance to Wonosari." Then the King and Patih Meda left the room and closed the door to discuss what strategy to do in a situation like this. After that heavy rain flushed the entire kingdom and also the Palace.

 

Not having time to take cover, the witch's attack had reached the Palace. The situation became tense because the palace was on fire, destroyed and in disarray. The situation around the Palace was devastated especially the situation outside the Palace, most of the troops were killed and even the greatest troops like Captain Arjuna had died in their duties and also the other captains who guarded the Palace were also killed. Only the birthing room has not been touched by that terrible magic.

 

Raden Radya: "how is this father??. What should we do." He said it with a panicked and confused expression.

Kumara: "It's okay son, we'll be fine. Raden... please listen to me, son, I ask you to take your brother away and seek protection."

Raden Radya: "but what about mom and dad??."

Kumara: "Don't worry, mother, son... you will be fine, after all, you have father and Uncle Meda here who will look after you."

Raden Radya: "but ma'am why do I have to take shelter?? Why can't I just stay here with mom and dad??"

Kumara: "You can't son.. the witch must be after your brother... you must protect him and quickly go for cover... Meda's father and uncle will arrest her before the witch finds your sister."

Raden Radya: "but mother... I don't know where to go."

Kumara: "Where do you go kid... find a safe place and stay away from that witch and don't get caught by her. Hurry up.. you have to go now before your dad finds out, if he finds out he won't allow it."

Then Kumara parted ways with her two sons, at the end of her emotional farewell before Raden left Kumara gave her last hug and last kiss to the baby. Then Raden took him away from the palace. On the way Raden saw the situation outside the Palace which was very chaotic, he saw many corpses lying on the road, the corpses consisted of royal soldiers and innocent commoners. Raden said to his younger brother "calm down my sister..." while watching his sister's face. "You shouldn't see all of this, I know our ages are 10 years different, but I really love you. I really want to play with you... you have to live on, my sister."

 

Not long after Raden left the palace, the old woman found The King and Patih Meda standing guard at the door of the delivery room. The old woman approached him in the form of a bird and then suddenly changed to her original form in front of King Wijaya and Patih Meda.

 

Old Woman: "hahahahahahahaha" laughs scary and screams very loudly saying "mom... I found it!!!".

Marhapatih Meda: "Your majesty... is that old woman a potential concubine named Naharayu?". While whispering to the King.

King Wijaya: "yeah.. you're not wrong Meda. She is the concubine who was going to marry me 20 years ago."

Marhapatih Meda: "Isn't his age not far from yours, your majesty?? Why does it look like that?"

King Wijaya: "it must be because of the magic spell she used to stay young... after I found out her background was a witch, I canceled the marriage."

After a brief conversation, the Queen arrives before Wijaya and Meda.

King Wijaya: "get ready..prepare your sword Meda". Patih Meda nodded with a serious face.

Queen approached King and Meda. His form is different from other humans, he is taller and bigger. But she is very beautiful.

Queen: "long time no see Wijaya..."

King Wijaya: "huff, you never change Buyung".

Marhapatih Meda: "the spell worked... but not with his son". Turning towards the King.

King Wijaya: "what do you want this time???. Why did you attack my kingdom and my innocent people???"

Queen: "maybe your people are innocent... but the leader of your innocent people is a bastard. Your people will thank me one day, because today I will cut off your bloodline, even by killing him.. hmm sounds a little cruel, but that is a statement that a king like you Wijaya has to accept."

King Wijaya: "I will not let you kill my family and destroy my kingdom".

Queen: "Naharayu... find the baby and kill her two children".

Old Woman: "nice to say my name again Mother... mwahahahaha" laughed horribly.

Marhapatih Meda: "before you touch Raden... skip me first Naharayu..."

 

Then Patih Meda and the Old Woman fought, Patih Meda used his Sword which would not be destroyed when exposed to magic and Naharayu brought out the magic that he had practiced for years, this was a fight between the right hands of a King and Queen. King Wijaya faced Ratu Buyung, this was an amazingly fierce battle, they both brought out their best abilities. The remaining warriors must fight against the remaining wizards as well.

 

After several minutes of Patih Meda's battle with Naharayu ending in a draw, Patih Meda lay limp with his body covered in blood due to scratches from witchcraft and was bounced several times. Whereas Naharayu had to lose her right hand which was hit by a sword slash from Patih Meda, but that was not a big problem for her, because she is a magician she can do anything with her spell even though she failed with the spell of youth, but this time with the spell returning her right hand is not a problem. which is difficult for her. Then Naharayu left his mother who was still fighting with The King, she couldn't turn into a bird because most of her strength was gone and she took advantage of the time when The King was still fighting and Meda was dying, she rushed to the delivery room to find The King's child, but after she entered the room there was only Kumara lying unconscious. After she found out that Queen was killed he didn't have time to think much and then she picked up the unconscious Kumara by dragging her with one hand.

 

Then the King's fight with the Queen continued, as soon as the King saw Patih Meda who was dying and covered in blood, the King intended to end this fight quickly by using his last stance, namely using the arrows of the Gods which used the inner strength that he had trained for years. This is an internal energy move that anyone can do, but it comes with one tough condition, that is, one of them performs meditation in a temple, which was made because it is believed that God once meditated and gathered his strength in that place, and this move also requires years of practice. That is why in the Wonosari Kingdom only he is capable of performing these moves, in contrast to magic where anyone can perform rituals and practice using spells, but this knowledge requires sacrifice first.

 

Continuing to the King's fight with the Queen, after the King used this stance and also the Queen had run out of energy because all her attacks were parried by the King, finally the Queen's view began to blur so that the Queen could not avoid the attack of the god's arrow which made her body penetrated by the oncoming bow. as fast as lightning and right about the heart of the Queen. In the end the fight was won by the King and the queen had to lie lifeless covered in black blood. Even though the fight was won by the King, the King almost fell because he lost all his strength. Then the King immediately approached Meda and Meda said "I'm fine, your majesty.. I can still endure this, you better meet your children and wife.. hurry up". The King rushed to the delivery room and immediately opened the door he was surprised because there was no one in the room.

 

Then the King shouted by calling Kumara's name "kumara... honey where are you?" he thought that it was Kumara who had taken the children away for shelter. Patih Meda asked "what's wrong, your majesty?". The king replied "Kumara and the children are not in the room." Then Patih Meda replied "what??. Where are they??." With a very confused expression while holding back the pain and saying "sorry, Your Highness, I can't help you to look for it... I can't with my current condition". The king replied "it's okay Meda.. you have to stay here... you have to survive". While holding it.

 

Then the King left Meda and came out of the Palace, and he was very surprised to see the condition around him, many buildings were damaged and lots of people were starting to suffer pain. Only a few people back and forth providing their assistance, were soldiers from the royal medical team. He said in his heart "this is an unforgettable history for the people of Wonosari and also for me.. this is the biggest war of Wonosari." Then the King asked one of the soldiers "hey did you see a small child this way?". Then the soldier replied with a feeling of shock "hahh?? Your Highness, are you all right? Small child?? I didn't see it, Your Highness. What do you mean is Raden?." The king replied "yeah.. I lost Raden and my wife during the fight.. maybe they left the palace to hide". Then the King and the remaining soldiers went to look for Raden and Kusmara.

 

They all split up, and a soldier who was cleaning up the ruins suddenly shouted "Your Highness... I found Raden". Then the King rushed to him and when he was examined Raden was lifeless while hugging his younger brother. However, the baby was still breathing and immediately carried by the King. Seeing his lifeless child, the King was very sad and crying. He could only surrender to the current situation. While crying and holding Radya's sister, The King was still looking for Kumara and when he approached a scorched building he saw a woman who had been burnt to death and her body was charred, but the woman was wearing exactly the same white dress that Kumara wore after giving birth. . The king approached the woman while holding the baby and suddenly the king shouted "Kumara...!!!" While crying and saying "why did you end up like this dear... no.. I will not accept this. Someday I will avenge the witch's deeds.

 

1 month after the Wonosari war with Lentera.

King Wijaya visited Patih Meda who was still being treated at Bhadra (a kind of hospital for treating people and soldiers), located not far from the Palace. He rode a horse with other soldiers who were escorting him.

King Wijaya: "How is your condition, Meda?"

Marhapatih Meda: "It's already better, your majesty... oh yes, how is the current condition of Wonosari?? I haven't had a chance to see it yet."

King Wijaya: "Wonosari is currently undergoing major repairs and construction... don't worry, this kingdom will stand firm as long as I am on the throne. Hmmm.. looks like I have to build a new temple."

Marhapatih Meda: "really..??? you will build it for the third time?? Hmmm... then make a big big one noble, what temple do you want to build??."

King Wijaya: "after Curtina and Dewananda I think I want to build a temple which symbolizes a protector for my people... I want to build one that is bigger than the two previous temples... I want to build it at the foot of a mountain, it will add value to its beauty."

Marhapatih Meda: "Okay..." while nodding his head. "ohh yaa, what about that child noble?? Have you given it a name yet?"

King Wijaya: "to be honest I haven't given him a name until now... at that time I wanted to give him a name with Kumara" while lowering his head and remembering the memory. "I remember that time I wanted to named him Adya and I wanted Kumara to give his second name."

Marhapatih Meda: "Adya..?? second name?? Hmmm... he was born on a full moon, a beautiful moonlit night before that cursed witch attacked us. What if I give him a second name??."

King Wijaya: "You have an idea?"

Marhapatih Meda: "hmmm Adya huh??.. just like his older brother. What if Adya Purnama?? I want him to shine like the full moon that illuminates Wonosari in the darkness...".

King Wijaya: "hmmm" while thinking and nodding his head. "That seems to sound convincing... yeah. I agree. I will soon hold the inauguration ceremony at the Keraton and I want you to accompany me." The king asked the nurse "is he allowed to leave here nurse??." Then the nurse replied "of course your majesty... you may take him away already, he just needs a few final checks before he gets up and walks."

 

The next day, one day before the ceremony started. Patih Meda came to the Palace while riding a horse to meet King Wijaya. He was awaited at the Keraton and was warmly welcomed to attend the tea party and celebrate his return from Bhadra. King Wijaya was already waiting at the palace door with other soldiers. Then came Patih Meda, the strains of Gamelan music and the singing voices of beautiful women and dances played by several beautiful women at the Palace welcomed his arrival at the Palace.

King Wijaya: "welcome back to the palace my brother" while smiling happily.

Marhapatih Meda: "thank you, your majesty" while smiling back at the king and hugging him warmly.

King Wijaya and Patih Meda walked towards the room that had been prepared. The room has a view of the beautiful mountains that surround Wonosari and there is also delicious food on the long table. And after lunch the two of them talked about what to do in the future. In the middle of his conversation, Patih Meda suddenly said:

 

Marhapatih Meda: "Your majesty.. are you going to remarry?"

King Wijaya: "I don't know... I still haven't let go of Kumara, my heart is still for him to this day."

Marhapatih Meda: "then if you are not married, what about Adya??. Can you raise him alone??"

King Wijaya: "of course you can't. Therefore I handed him over to the concubines, let the concubines take care of him and breastfeed him ".

Marhapatih Meda: "Are there any of the concubines who can breastfeed him?"

King Wijaya: "of course not. They don't feed them with breast milk, they feed them with these herbs which are equivalent to breast milk. And it is made specifically for babies.

Marhapatih Meda: "ohh, with that concoction. Huffhh I hope he grows up to be a strong man like his father. I'm really concerned... I can't bear to watch her grow without Kumara."

King Wijaya: "yes, that's it.. he has to accept destiny. However, I will still take care of him, because now he is the only descendant of mine who can continue this kingdom. Sooner or later I will avenge the witch's actions."

Marhapatih Meda: "Talking about revenge, one of us has to find out about the noble kingdom of the witch... they know us but we don't know where they are, how are we going to attack them??. I have to find out... well, I have to find out about that kingdom."

King Wijaya: "how did you do it?"

Marhapatih Meda: "I have to leave the noble Wonosari.. I have to go plunder the forest and find that witch. You have to find a replacement for me at the Palace".

King Wijaya: "are you sure you can do it??? With your condition like this..??

Marhapatih Meda: "I didn't come to fight, I was just spying on him, your majesty... it won't drain my strength. I will take some troops and leave here tonight too."

King Wijaya: "can't you wait until tomorrow's ceremony is over??"

Marhapatih Meda: "I can't wait any longer.. I want to go today too."

King Wijaya: "what if the witch attacks Wonosari again while you are away?"

Marhapatih Meda: "That is impossible, Your Highness... they are currently weak just like us."

King Wijaya: "Are you sure?"

Marhapatih Meda: "trust me... as a precaution from now on you have to shoot down every crow that flies over Wonosari. I ask you to do that until I return your majesty."

King Wijaya: "why should it be like that?"

Marhapatih Meda: "because most of them are like crows."

King Wijaya: "all right."

 

It was getting dark and the King was ready to let the person he trusted the most go. And Patih Meda was getting ready to ride a horse at the entrance to Wonosari, and the king asked:

King wijaya: "when will you come back?"

Marhapatih Meda: "as soon as your majesty."

King Wijaya: "please be careful."

And the King let him go while staring at his departure.

 

The next day King Wijaya held a name ceremony for the baby. This event was attended by thousands of people in the Palace and was strictly guarded. In this ceremony, King Wijaya at the same time looked for a replacement for the position left by Patih Meda. One of the king's bodyguards approached King Wijaya and said:

Bodyguard: "Your Excellency, I think I know who is the right person to replace Patih Meda in this position."

King Wijaya: "are you sure?, who is that person?"

Bodyguard : "wait a moment your majesty, I will bring it to you."

10 minutes later the Guard returned and brought the person he recommended to the King.

King Wijaya: "what is your name young man?"

Young man: "My name is Bima Pandawa, your majesty." While bowing before the King.

King Wijaya: "Okay Bima, one of my bodyguards has seen your ability. He said you are the strongest person in this kingdom after me and Meda... and I heard that you killed many witches when Wonosari was attacked. I want you to prove it to me. I want you to fight 10 of my soldiers with that staff."

The fight began and was watched by many people, this fight did not last long. Bima managed to beat the 10 soldiers easily even though this was a 1 against 10 fight.

King Wijaya: "Okay, I'm impressed with your talent, young man." With a smile. "Are you ready to replace the position of Marhapatih Meda?"

Bima: "With pleasure your majesty. This has been my dream since childhood, I want to be one of the useful people for Wonosari. I also lost my family in that attack."

King Wijaya: "alright... my people whom I love and whom I glorify. Starting today, I respectfully appoint Bima Pandawa as the highest military leader to replace Meda's duties, which he left behind." While pointing his sword at Bima who was kneeling to be given a title. "I will give him the title of Duke as substitute leader." The people's cheers and applause enlivened the Palace to welcome the supreme military leader.

 

7 years have passed... Meda still hasn't come back. The condition of Wonosari has experienced a rapid development and there are many magnificent new buildings, one of which is the temple that King Wijaya wanted to build 7 years ago which has now been inaugurated and is named Cakra Temple. King Wijaya is still not married until now, and Adya is slowly growing up. Adya grew up without a mother figure beside her, and that might make her a little stubborn. He often sneaked out of the palace and played by other children even though his father forbade him. Not only that, he often made his friends cry and he also often stole other people's things, because of his actions his father often punished him in the basement. But besides his rather naughty nature, he often won archery competitions at the royal level, he was always number one, because archery was his hobby since he was 3 years old and his talent was taught by his father and also guided by Adipati Bima.

 

Entering the rainy season, and when Adya was 7 years old he continued to hone his archery skills even under heavy rain. Every day he was in the archery field, no one accompanied him. He has no friends, he is always shunned by people because of his mischief when he was 5 years old. Occasionally Adipati Bima would come to see Adya who was practicing. When Adya was 10 years old, he began to be taught martial arts. Previously, he did not want to learn it because his only hobby was archery. But after Adipati Bima forced him and also pressure from his father he finally wanted to practice and started studying martial arts. Then Rden Adya asked the Duke:

Raden Adya: "Why do I always have to follow your orders?"

Adipati Bima: "You are the candidate for Adya's crown prince... you must be strong to replace your father's throne later."

Raden Adya: "How many times have I told you and father... I don't want to be crown prince. I'm just hated and shunned by people.. then why should I be the leader?? he said it with anger and annoyance.

Adipati Bima: "You are the only child of the King's lineage.. your brother died to save you, why are you so selfish?"

Raden Radya: "listen uncle... everyone blames me for everything that has happened, they all blame me and think I was the cause of Wonosari being attacked by the witches."

Adipati Bima: "They all don't know anything about you Raden... the ones who know you best are your father and Patih Meda."

Suddenly Raden Adya put down his martial stick and left the Adipati with an annoyed expression on his face.

 

Raden went to Dewananda Temple, the place of worship for everyone in the Wonosari kingdom. At that time the condition of the temple was quiet, because it was pouring rain. Then Raden knelt down looking at the temple carvings and also the statues of the gods, he was contemplating and praying. He said to himself "why should I bear all this." While crying bitterly. Then he wondered "is what everyone says about the witch true??? And also why does dad always tell stories about Patih Meda??? Is he just making it up?? And also why do they blame me for the death of my sister and mother..?? someday I have to find out everything... I have to get out of here and find out the truth." He said it with full confidence.

 

When Raden was 17 years old he was made crown prince by King Wijaya. At that time the Keraton was holding a ceremony for appointing a crown prince, but before the ceremony began, many people protested against the decision. Even so, the King still appointed him as the crown prince, the successor to the Wonosari kingdom, whatever happened in the lineage, Adya was the most appropriate to continue his father's throne. A few minutes before the inauguration Raden Adya was getting ready to face the King. He was wearing very luxurious clothes, he was wearing a royal robe with the tread buda symbol which was the symbol of the Wonosari Kingdom, and he was wearing a kind of crown made of gold, his clothes were covered with gold beads. Actually many women are fascinated by him, because of his handsome face and he is also the most handsome man in Wonosari. But because of the issues circulating, the Wonosari women had to hold back their lust and had to stay away from the prince because of pressure from their parents.

 

For 3 years Adya carried out the title of crown prince without respect. When he walked out of the Palace, no one around saw him even though he was still in prison, except for the royal soldiers, the royal soldiers must obey all the decisions of the King and if they don't comply, the soldiers will be punished by imprisonment and some can even be sentenced to death by being executed. stocks.

 

To encourage himself, Adya continued to visit the Dewananda Temple. He went from the Palace on a horse to the temple. On the way, Adya met a group of soldiers who were shooting crows flying over the kingdom. Adya slowed down his horse while thinking and saying to himself "why don't these animals ever become extinct" and Adya approached the soldiers and saw lots of dead crows that fell and lay on the ground, Adya said "heyy.. there are so many of these birds, even I've never dropped it this much. What is it for??" the soldier answered while lowering his head "for nothing prince... we were indeed assigned to hunt these birds." And Adya replied "assigned?? Why is that??" the soldiers were confused and said:

Soldier: "Don't you already know the reason prince?? Why are you still asking??"

Raden Adya: "no.. I don't know the reason. What's the reason?"

Soldier: "I think His Majesty has told you about this." While being astonished by the other soldiers."

Raden Adya: "Okay, forget it... I'll go first."

Soldier: "alright, prince. be careful on the road."

Then Adya spurred her horse and while thinking on the way about the birds and said "huffhh... what's wrong with those birds? Why did everyone in Wonosari kill them? I thought all this time my father told me to kill him just to practice it... turns out there was a reason behind it. Does this have anything to do with that witch story??"

After returning from the temple, Adya visited the graves of his mother and sister. The graves did not contain human bodies, but only the ashes, because in Wonosari everyone who died would be burned. The tomb is at the foot of the mountain and under the shade of trees so it feels cool when you come there. In the tomb there is a stone that is quite large and has the names Wijaya Kumara Radyaputra and Kumara Sri Rahayu engraved on it.

 

Adya immediately got off his horse and tied the horse to a tree while feeding the horse. He said "sister... mother... how are you doing there?? Are you all right???" while sprinkling flowers on the two graves. "I haven't had the chance to meet you guys... but fate separated us like this. I heard it's all my fault... people say I should have been born a girl... not a boy." He said that while smiling. "Mom, you should just change me into a girl... surely I will look beautiful like you. I really miss you mom.. all this time I see your face only from a painting." Then Adya left the tomb and returned to the Palace.

 

One year later the kingdom experienced a severe economic crisis. This was because King Wijaya's decision was detrimental to some parties, because of this many villages separated themselves from Wonosari. Because King Wijaya's decision seemed like favoritism, he only cared about the rich villages and distributed food only to that village and most of it was hoarded in the kingdom for reasons of stock at the Palace, even though the stock at the Palace was still sufficient for the next 2 years and food -the food he gets is from poor villages that really worship the King and this poor village only gets 10 percent of the food from his crops. After hearing this unpleasant news, Adya immediately went to his father who was at his throne and what happened was:

Raden Adya: "father...!!! if you continue like this .. I'd better just leave the palace". With a very annoyed face. "You should be ashamed father... the people you betrayed were people who really trusted you, they unhesitatingly gave their full harvest to you.. they respected and trusted you as a King to organize and give to those in need, not just to those who are rich ...".

King Wijaya: "You don't know anything son, I'm doing this for Wonosari... we have to quickly complete the construction that is still being built today, do you think building is free?" while speaking with cold eyes. "I want to quickly get up and be able to quickly attack all those magicians for revenge."

Raden Adya: "why do you always talk about the witch?? You don't even know where they are... do you??"

King Wijaya: "therefore... if later your uncle Meda returns we can immediately attack all the witches."

Raden Adya: "I'm not sure he can come back dad... maybe he was eaten by a wild animal, you always tell me he left when I was 1 month old and now look how old I am??? Until when do you want to wait??"

King Wijaya: "even though it sounds impossible, but I really believe in it... surely he will come back, he has promised me to find the whereabouts of the witches".

Raden Adya: "huffhhh" while sighing. "Fine... if that's what you want to the point that you have to sacrifice a lot of people. Hufffhh..." Adya took a deep breath and said "I'd better look for that witch..!!" with a face full of seriousness. Adya immediately turned around and left his father.

King Wijaya: "adya... listen to father!!!" while screaming and looking at Adya. "You don't know anything about that witch kid... you can't fight her just with your current strength... you can die... Adya I order you to stop!!!"

Adya, who was walking away from his father's throne, stopped when his father shouted at him. But Adya didn't care, he kept walking out of the room and took his horse to leave the Palace and leave Wonosari.

 

On the way not far after leaving the Palace Adya met Adipati Bima who was walking towards the Palace, but he did not slow down his horse and kept walking like nothing was stopping him. Adipati Bima said in his heart "what's wrong with him??? Does he want to mess up again? Hmmm..." with a confused face. "Usually the child scolds me wherever we meet." Bima then continued his journey to the Palace on foot. Suddenly Adya came back and shouted "uncle!!!". Suddenly the scream made Bima startled and turned around.

Adipati Bima: "uwahhh!!!" very surprised. "What's wrong Raden?? You just surprised me hufhhhh.."

Raden Adya: approached Bima and said hastily "uncle... do you know where the magician is???"

Adipati Bima: "what are you suddenly asking that?"

Raden Adya: "Just say it fast...!!!" by yelling at Bima.

Adipati Bima: "Hmmm... to be honest I don't know much about it. But the crow is a sign of their presence. What is it..?? you want to find it?? Hahahaha..." laughed but not seriously.

Raden Adya: "hmmm crows... okay." Adya immediately left Bima and rode his horse quickly, Adya only brought arrows and a few bows.

Adipati Bima: "does he really want to find the witch??? I, who is stronger than him, don't want to look for him." With a face full of confusion.

Bima immediately went to the Palace and entered the room to meet the King who was on his throne. After he entered he saw the King staring and confused.

Adipati Bima: "what happen, your majesty?"

King Wijaya: "why doesn't that child want to obey me??? He went to look for that witch... he could have died on the way hufhhh... that kid doesn't know anything." While sad and confused.

Adipati Bima: "it turns out he's really looking for the witch" he said in a very low voice.

King Wijaya: "Bima.... I want you to chase him."

Adipati Bima: "what???" he shouted in shock. "Sorry, Your Highness... I mean alright, Your Highness" firmly.

King Wijaya: "Okay ... quickly prepare troops. You may leave after I order... I want to give you something first."

Bima immediately left the king and got ready to chase Adya.

 

Meanwhile in Lentera, 5 years after the attack on Wonosari. on a dark night and also with heavy rain, a woman's cry was heard, after the death of Queen Buyung, now Lentera is led by her son, Naharayu. Naharayu's body is getting more and more hideous and he looks even more old with scary wrinkles all over her body, her hair is all white and slowly a strand of hair is falling from her head every hour, this is because the spell she did failed many years ago. She was always wincing, screaming, and crying. To cover her body she wore a robe that covered her whole body, and her face was covered like a thin cloth.

Ratna: "yayu, never mind... you have to accept it. I'm sick of seeing you like this every night."

Naharayu: wept bitterly. "what should I do?? Even you who are much older than me are not as bad as this body of mine."

Ratna: "if you don't want to live with a body like that... you have to do the ritual as soon as possible. You must move your soul."

Naharayu: "sacrifice my soul?? And gave it to that woman hufhhh.... I can't Ratna, that spell doesn't guarantee that I can survive in that woman's body forever. My life is in that woman's hands if I transfer my soul to her body, if she wakes up and recovers sooner I will die...and my power belongs to her."

Ratna: "then you prefer to grimace like this every night???" asked firmly. "You have to choose... after all, no one knows how old you are. You choose to die in that horrible body or in the body of a woman who is much better than yours. After all, a woman is beautiful, you can enjoy her beauty as long as you are in her body."

Naharayu: "that's the same as you want me to die quickly" looked at Ratna sarcastically.

Ratna: "no yayu... I give you a choice."

 

After that conversation, Naharayu decided to transfer her soul to a woman. She performed the ritual with Ratna, because it was Ratna who would recite the spell. In the end the soul transfer ritual was completed, Naharayu had a new body. But she had to keep wearing a face covering if she wanted to leave the palace, so no one would know whose body she was wearing. The other witches only received news that the Queen had performed a soul transfer ritual, but they were not told whose body the Queen was using. Transferring souls is a ritual that can only be performed by people who already have high knowledge and are above average with other magicians. Although the person who will perform the ritual must sacrifice his life because sooner or later he will die if the body is against the spell and this ritual can only be done once.

 

After going far from Wonosari and also passing through the forests, Adya stopped and got off his horse, he sat on a large tree trunk that was on the ground, he stopped to rest. While drinking Adya said to himself "I have gone far enough, but there is no sign of the witch yet." Suddenly there was a flock of crows flying towards the south. "hah?? What's that?? what is a crow??? Yes, that's right it's a crow... I have to quickly follow it."

 

Adya kept following the bird for several minutes, until one day his horse tripped and fell, and Adya was thrown off the horse. "what's wrong with you horse?" Adya approached the horse. "what happened? Ohh.. it turns out your leg got caught in a branch. You damn branch... hold on, I will let you off this branch." After releasing the horse, suddenly the horse went berserk and left Adya. Adya was shocked and shouted "heeyyy horse!!! Where are you going?? Don't leave me.... huffhh okay." Adya was confused about what to do as he held the back of his head with both hands and looked down. After contemplating for a while finally Adya did not mind it. "Okay, without the horse I can do it myself... but where am I?? Where should I go?? I've lost that bird too hufhhh...". Adya continued his journey on foot.

 

After walking quite far, Adya saw a village, and because there was activity in that village, Adya was curious and stalked the village while preparing his arrows. He thought the village was a village of witches because it was located in the middle of a forest and far from Wonosari. When Adya was stalking suddenly an old man approached him from behind:

Old man: "what are you looking for?"

Raden Adya: "waahh.." Adya was very surprised. "eehhhh... I'm looking for firewood... yes firewood hehehehe".

Old man: "you are looking for firewood with arrows??"

Raden Adya: "no.... Ehhh I mean yes grandpa"

Old man: "I'm not your grandfather... judging by your clothes, you're definitely not an ordinary person."

Raden Adya: "no... I'm an ordinary person." He said that confidently and arrogantly. "Shouldn't ordinary people wear clothes covered in gold?"

Old man: "for now this is absolutely impossible." The old man then whispered "Sssttt... what's that sound?? prepare your arrows son!"

Raden Wijaya: "eehhh...  actually it's the sound of my stomach." With a smile.

Old man: "are you hungry??? Why didn't you say earlier... you elementary. Come on follow me"

Raden Wijaya: "just a moment...!!! Are you human??"

Old man: "what do you think I am???" by yelling at Raden. "stupid brat...".

 

Finally Raden followed the old man to the village he saw. It turned out that the village was just a small village that was only inhabited by less than a hundred people. The old man invited Raden to enter his house and provided food. Raden immediately devoured the food until it was finished. After eating Raden talked with the old man.

Old man: "so you are from the kingdom??"

Raden Adya: "isn't it clear?? I come from Wonosari."

Old man: "Wonosari??"

Raden Adya: "You don't know Wonosari?? No wonder... your village is so far away and remote. Let me tell you Wonosari is the biggest kingdom here, even the area is very wide... I just can't afford to explore it. But unfortunately 20 years ago my kingdom was attacked by witches.. dad said at that time I was just born. A moment.... But why doesn't my father know this village?? Hmm strange."

Old man: "witch??"

Raden Wijaya: "yaa.. do you know about the witch?"

Old man: "yes I know.. so you're here to find the witch?"

Raden Adya: "Exactly. I'm actually the crown prince, I'm looking for that witch for revenge. I'm tired... I'm not respected by people in Wonosari, unless they are members of the kingdom. I was raised by a concubine, my mother and brother died during that war, and everyone blamed me."

Old man: "actually... this village was also plundered by that witch. They took all our crops, as a result one village suffered from hunger and some even died. All I know about the witch is that she came from behind that hill. But if you want to go there you have to pass through the haunted forest. Some of us have been in that forest... but none of us have come back."

Raden Wijaya: "first my father said my uncle.. I mean Uncle Meda, he got the title Marhapatih from my father. He left the kingdom and promised to find the witch's whereabouts. But he never came back until now. Even though he is the strongest person in the kingdom after my father. That's why father trusted him so much... he was honest, brave, and sacrificed for the kingdom."

Old man: "I'm sorry".... "But I think I've seen some troops... at that time I was quite young, and the village was in chaos. Seeing the crest on your shirt, it is very familiar to me."

Raden Adya: "yes, this is the symbol of Wonosari".

Old man: "looks like they passed through that haunted forest too".

Raden Wijaya: Adya got up from his seat with full confidence he said "ok grandpa... now show me where the forest is?"

Old man: "can't..."

Raden Adya: "what???" hysterically.

Old man: "you are too sweet and weak... you better go home!!"

Raden Adya: "I can't grandpa... I've come this far, I don't want to go home.. I don't want my journey to be in vain until here."

Old man: "if you continue your journey your life will be in vain".

Raden Wijaya: "Why are you even like my father?? Just hurry up and show me where the forest is!!! I didn't ask you to accompany me either."

Old man: "............."

Raden Wijaya: "Okay grandpa.... If you keep quiet, I'll look for the forest myself. adya began to leave the grandfather.

Old man: "wait....."

Adiya turned around.

Old man: "what's your name?"

Raden Adya: "You can call me Adya. Why?? You're going to make a tombstone for me??

Old man: "no ..." while approaching and closer to Adya. "Okay... I'll tell you where the forest is."

Raden Adya: "Are you kidding me?? What made you change your mind??"

Old man: "This village is surrounded by ravines... if you make a mistake you will fall and die. I'd rather let you die in that forest than fall into a ravine in such a ridiculous way."

Raden Adya: "Okay, where is that forest??" with a smile.

Old man: "but before that... you have to take off your clothes first."

Raden Adya: "why?? You want to sell it?"

Old man: "Listen you stupid kid... if you wear that shirt you will come out of the forest without a head!!!" Speak in a high tone.

Raden Adya was silent while holding his head.

Old man: "wait a minute... I'll get some clothes for you."

Then Adya changed her clothes to those that the grandfather had given her.

Raden Wijaya: "Look old man... you make me like a woodcutter." While looking at the grandfather with a cynical gaze. "Looks like this time I will be going down caste."

Old man: "so what?? You suit that dress better hahahaha." The old geezer laughed out loud. "Okay... you can go tomorrow morning. Now it's getting dark ... you first rest here. I will keep your clothes... whenever you come back I will return them to you."

 

Adya left the old man and the village the next day. Adya walked and followed the instructions from the old man. Not long after, Adya arrived in the forest with the torch that the grandfather had given him, the atmosphere was very terrible, and the forest was filled with fog and was pitch black like night, and there were many strange sounds in the forest, and there were also lots of human skulls. .

Raden Adya: "even though it was still very bright, why did the atmosphere change drastically after I entered here... it's the same as night. No wonder that grandpa gave me this toy."

After walking far enough, Adya found a corpse that had become bones.

Raden Adya: "what is this?? Are these human bones?" then he aimed the torch. "woaahh ... lots of corpses here."

When Adya pointed his torch at one of the corpses, he suddenly found something.

Raden Adya: "damn.... should I just go back to that village?? no.. no.. why am I such a coward." While slapping his face. "huffhh ... wait a minute, what is that?". Adya reached out his hand and took the object that was buried by a pile of bones. "ewwh this thing is so dirty... should I just throw it away?? It's just a piece of cloth." After he rubbed the object with his finger, it turned out that it had a pattern. "huh..? I have to wash this so I can see it clearly." After Adya washed the cloth with the drinking water she brought "isn't this... no, it's impossible. This is the symbol of Wonosari." He was so shocked. "Is Uncle Meda dead??" he wondered. Suddenly there was the sound of a lion roaring and Adya was very surprised "woaahh.... What's that??" while getting ready to shoot with his arrow. "I have to quickly get out of here ...".

 

Adya ran very fast to avoid the attack from the mysterious creature. Adya had run very far from where he found the body, but the creature kept stalking him, even though Adya had not seen the figure of the creature, he kept running because he was panicking. But Adya couldn't keep running, she was very tired. And finally he stopped and decided to fight the creature.

Raden Adya: "wait... I'm carrying an arrow, why should I run away??. Well.. whatever your form is, I will not be afraid of you". He said it confidently.

After he prepared to shoot his bow in the direction where the voice came from and what happened was:

Raden Adya: "what...??? Cat??? Hahahaha" he laughed out loud while holding his forehead. "So I ran all this way just because of a cat?? You idiot... no wonder that grandpa said I would die ridiculously." while shaking his head.

It turned out that the cat was not an ordinary cat, the cat turned big, its eyes became red and its fangs were visible, the cat was black and around its body there was black fire. Adya was very surprised, he couldn't believe what he saw, then Adya immediately pointed his arrow at the cat and shot him, he didn't waste the opportunity to prove that he was the greatest archer in Wonosari. But the arrow shot by Adya penetrated the cat's body, and Adya immediately turned around and ran. Because he was tired, Adya couldn't run any further and started to slow down and finally he was pounced on by the cat until he was unconscious.

 

Returning to Wonosari, the King approached Adipati Bima and the other soldiers who were ready to find Adya. King Wijaya gave an amulet and some weapons that had been specially made to fight witches. Not long after Adya's horse passed the line of troops and approached the King.

Adipati Bima: "Your majesty, isn't that the horse that Adya is riding?"

King Wijaya: "right ... what's wrong with that child?" he was getting worried. "Looks like I have to participate in this quest!"

Adipati Bima: "but your majesty, if you leave... who will take care of Wonosari?"

King Wijaya: "You don't have to worry Bima... today we will also attack the witches. I want all the troops in Wonosari to come with me!"

Adipati Bima: He said in his heart "hufhh... this will be a very terrible counterattack". "Well... did you hear what your highness said?? Let's attack those magicians!" and the shouts of the troops accompany him.

The horse carried the King and the other troops to the place where Adya fell with the horse.

 

Then Adya woke up from her faint.

Raden Adya: "aahh... my head hurts so much" While looking around and holding his head. "Where am I?? Am I dead?" Adya got up and walked little by little. "Wow.. this place is so beautiful... I've never seen a place as beautiful as this in my life. It turns out that I really am dead... am I in heaven?? Adya walked while looking around.

It was an extraordinary sight, after he had passed through the spooky forest. Meadows and sunflower fields, won't everyone be mesmerized by their beauty? Then Adya continued to walk through that beautiful place and from a distance Adya saw a woman, then he quickly approached the woman who was picking the flower.

Raden Adya: "excuse me... do you know where I am???". "Wow so beautiful" while looking at the woman. "Surely she is an angel" he said in his heart. "Are you an angel?"

Beautiful woman: she immediately pointed her sword at Adya and said "who are you?"

Raden Adya: "a..a..aa.. do angels in heaven also use swords?"

Beautiful woman: "answer me!!!" while snapping at Adya.

Raden Adya: "okay... okay... okay... my name is Adya, I'm just an ordinary human."

Beautiful woman: "heh.. human?? what are you doing here?? with very cold eyes.

Raden Adya: "I don't know... earlier I seemed to have passed out, after I woke up I was suddenly here. But... could you please take your sword away from me??"

Beautiful woman: lowered her sword "alright ... quickly get out of here !!, before I kill you humans!".

Raden Adya: "but..but...but... I don't know where to go."

Beautiful woman: "none of my business!!! The important thing is to stay away from here!!"

The woman left Adya, but Adya followed her because he didn't know where else to go.

Beautiful woman: "why are you following me? Do you want to die huh??" while taking out his sword again.

Raden Adya: "no...no... I want to go there, just like you."

Finally they both walked together and talked a little.

Raden Adya: "I thought I was dead ...". "If I had not lost my arrows I would have fought you earlier."

Beautiful woman: "what did you say??"

Raden Adya: "no... I didn't say anything" while smiling.

Beautiful woman: "listen... if it wasn't for your face, I would have killed you earlier."

Raden Adya: "what's wrong with my face?"

Beautiful woman: "nothing, earlier your face was like a child who was crying, I'm sorry to see you" He said while lowering his face and smiling slightly.

Raden Adya: "really??" while pointing at his face. "but.. may I know your name?"

Beautiful woman: "Why do you know my name?"

Raden Adya: "heyy... isn't it unfair that you know my name, but I don't know yours??."

Beautiful woman: "my name is Rara..."

Raden Adya: "ohh Rara?? Fine.. from now on I will call you Rara."

Rara: "Why??? You don't like my name?"

Raden Adya: "no... I like your name, it's cute. Don't you have a second name?"

Rara: "no"

Raden Adya: "your name is very short... like the person."

Rara: "what did you say?? Better.. I just killed you earlier... watch your mouth, one more time you're like that I'll sever your head."

Raden Adya: "yes... yes... sorry. By the way I like your dress. You look so pretty in that dress."

Rara: "before you insulted me... now you even praise me" smiling.

 

After that conversation, the two of them finally arrived in front of a kingdom.

Raden Adya: "waahh... the walls are so high. Is that tall building a palace? Rara you live in here??"

Rara: "huffh... listen Adya, this is not an ordinary kingdom, this is a magician's kingdom. You can't go in there. Stop following me all the way here, got it?"

Raden Adya: "a witch??". "It turns out that they are all real, and they have a kingdom" he said to himself.

Rara: "Yeah.. if you come in and my mother knows that you are human... you will be killed by her."

Raden Adya: "but how did your mother know??? You all look like humans anyway."

Rara: "magicians with high knowledge, they can immediately recognize if you are human or not. It's true that magicians are humans to begin with but when they perform a ritual they can't turn back to normal humans anymore."

Rara also left Adya alone. But Adya is stubborn, she continues to follow Rara.

Raden Adya: "finally met the witches... I have to go in there, I will immediately kill the Queen. Wait... but what should I kill him with?? I lost my arrow. Arrghh I don't care... the important thing is I have to go there first."

After Adya entered through the entrance, not far from the entrance, Adya was immediately confronted by the troops on guard and immediately aimed their weapons. Seeing Adya being intercepted by several guards, Rara came back.

Rara: "heyy...let go!!! He shouted from a distance and approached Adya. "let go of him soldier, he is my friend."

Soldier: "ok princess"

Raden Adya: "princess..?? Are you noble Rara?"

Rara: "yes.. my mother is the Queen". "I told you not to follow me into here" while hitting Adya's chest.

Raden Adya: "aww... it hurts. I'm sorry Rara, I don't know where to go, other than following you."

Rara: "Okay..." while holding her head. "As long as you're with me, you'll be safe here. Follow me, I will give you a place to stay temporarily here"

 

But on the way to that place, the Queen came up to him.

Naharayu: "Rara ... my sweet daughter, where are you from?"

Rara: "mother..??" he was very surprised.

Rara was very surprised, and immediately protected Adya. Adya hides behind Rara.

Naharayu: "what's wrong?? Are you with someone? Who's he?? Ask sarcastically."

Lara: "He.... Eehhh, he's my boyfriend mom!!"

Adya then came out from behind Rara and bowed her head to the Queen.

Naharayu: "Are you kidding?"

Rara immediately pulled Adya and kissed him.

Naharayu: "aahhh... it turns out he's really your boyfriend. But didn't you say you don't want a boyfriend??"

Rara: "That used to be mother, now I have one. Hehehehe"

Naharayu: "okay... I'll go"

Rara: "yeah be careful mother..."

Then Rara's mother left them both.

Rara: "sorry I kissed you. I think mom knew right away that you were human."

Raden Adya: "no... it's okay."

Adya's heart was beating fast after being kissed by Rara.

Rara: "Okay, because Mother thinks you are my boyfriend, you can stay in the palace for a while."

 

Then Adya went with Rara to the palace. Adya's journey is haunted by her feelings. "why is my heart still beating??? Is it because this is my first kiss?? Or is this love?? No... no I can't fall in love with that witch's son. I came here for revenge... not to fall in love."

 

On the other hand, the Wonosari troop had arrived at the haunted forest. They arrived there after finding the village where Raden Adya, the old man, told him everything. Then the King and his troops rushed to find Adya in the forest. They killed all the animals that were there, including the terrible cat. They all use weapons specially made to fight witches.

 

One of the animals flew to Lentera, he met the Queen to deliver the news that Wonosari had come. The queen who was in the palace immediately rushed to gather her troops to fight Wonosari's troops.

Rara: "what's wrong mom?? Where are you going?"

Naharayu: "Rara... you hide. The Wonosari have come, they are attacking us."

The queen immediately left Rara and Adya.

Raden Adya: "what???". "Do they know I'm here?" he said to himself.

Rara went after her mother.

Raden Adya: "Rara... where are you going??? You should hide." "If he comes there he will definitely be killed by my father" he spoke in his heart.

Then Raden chased Rara to protect her.

 

Many animals in the forest died because of the actions of the Wonosari troops, some animals spoke to King Wijaya to tell the truth in this forest, the animals said "we have never killed anyone here, our appearance is indeed scary but we have never killed a single person. here. All of them who died here because of their own mistakes, they picked the forbidden fruit, we warned some of them, but they attacked us because we looked like this. Your highness... stop killing... we were once humans just like you. Even that cat you killed saved your precious son..."

Adipati Bima: "Your majesty... do we have to trust them?"

King Wijaya: "no Bima... just kill them all."

Suddenly the Queen came.

Naharayu: "wait... don't kill them. They are all innocent!!"

Adipati Bima: "Your majesty... who is she?"

King Wijaya: "she is one of the leaders of the magicians" spoke to Bima. "Okay ... get away you ugly animal. I will kill that Queen of yours."

The animals all left the location where the battle would take place.

Naharayu: "As long as you know Wijaya... they are all humans. They are all failed magicians, I know it's my fault. Therefore I made the forest for their residence. Haven't you caused enough people to suffer??"

King Wijaya: "are you stupid?? You attacked my kingdom first."

 

Rara and Adya come.

Raden Adya: "father..."

King Wijaya turned to Raden.

Rara: "Dad???? Is he your father?"

Raden Adya: "Rara... I will explain later."

Naharayu: "The reason my mother attacked you was because of your own doing Wijaya... you destroyed us first, have you forgotten? You kicked us out of Wonosari... just because you didn't accept the opinion of the wizarding family."

Raden Adya: "Is that true, father??"

Naharayu: "ahh.. so that child is your son Wijaya??? The last time I saw him he was just a baby. Hopefully your son will not follow in your footsteps Wijaya" smiling.

King Wijaya: "listen Adya... I'm doing all this for Wonosari."

Naharayu: "It seems that your child must know the truth Wijaya."

Raden Adya: "arrgghh.. I really don't understand what's going on."

King Wijaya: "you killed my wife and my first son Naharayu. Stop that bullshit!"

Naharayu: "I didn't kill him... and it wasn't me who killed your first son either. You could say I saved the life of your wife, Wijaya."

King Wijaya: "what do you mean?"

Naharayu opened his face mask, and everyone was shocked.

Naharayu: "look at this Wijaya" he opened his face cover.

King Wijaya: "Kumara???" The king was so shocked that he was speechless.

Raden Adya: "mom....???"

Rara: "mom?? What does all this mean? Mom please tell me what happened!!. who are you? And who am I?"

Naharayu: "I'm sorry Rara... 20 years ago a witch brought you to Lentera, she said your mother and father were killed. Then because Kumara couldn't stop crying after I brought her from Wonosari, I decided to let her take care of you until you were 5 years old. After that his condition worsened, she became seriously kill. Likewise with me... my body is getting worse. Finally I decided to transfer my soul to her, as long as the spell worked she should be fine... but if I die, she will inherit all my power. In my short conversation with her... I promised to reunite the witches' family to Wonosari, by any means. Even if I have to kill the King.

Rara was very sad after hearing it all. Then Adya hugged him and tried to comfort him.

King Wijaya: "that will not be possible!!!" seriously argue.

Naharayu: "therefore I have to kill you first Wijaya....".

 

Finally the battle is inevitable. The Queen attacks the King, but the King is very careful not to kill the Queen, because the Queen is using his wife's body. Adya tries to protect Rara, but Rara is still sad about what happened.

Raden Adya: "Rara... never mind, I know how you feel now. But the most important thing is that we have to stop this war first.

Rara couldn't hold back her tears and hugged Adya.

Rara: "I think I know how to stop this Adya .."

Raden Adya: "how???"

Rara: "I've heard mother.. no, she's not my mother. I mean I heard the witch was talking to Ratna" while crying softly.

Raden Adya: "Who is Ratna?"

Rara: "What I know is that she is the right hand of the witch mother, maybe she is the same age as the previous queen."

Raden Adya: "OK... continue."

Rara: "The witch said if the body she uses is conscious, she will die."

Raden Adya: "what do you mean? Does that mean my mother will die too?"

Rara: "no... you just need to wake him up Adya... you have to be able to wake up your mother."

Raden Adya: "hmmm okay... I'll try to do it. Don't go anywhere Rara, you have to stay here. I don't want you to get hurt."

Rara: "Yeah.. don't worry about me"

 

Adya finds out how to wake up his mother, while his father is fighting a witch who has used her mother's body. In the battle between the leaders, Adya tried to approach the witch, he shouted "mother... what you are fighting is your husband... and I am your son, mother... you must be aware." Adya kept screaming like that, he screamed even louder to wake up her mother. And he also asked his father to wake Kumara up soon.

 

But the witch managed to hit King Wijaya with a very dangerous magic. Whoever is affected by that magic, their body will slowly burn and turn to ashes. King Wijaya couldn't do anything, because he couldn't attack the witch, he just kept defending and fending off attacks from Naharayu. The king fell and lay limp, Naharayu laughed with his trademark, namely with a grin. Naharayu thought she had won, seeing King Wijaya lying down and unable to do anything, Naharayu intended to stick his sword into King Wijaya. But when she was pointing the sword at King Wijaya, King Wijaya said "kill me Kumara" suddenly hearing that voice Kumara woke up and immediately took over her body again.

Rara: "Did he manage to come to his senses??

Rara approached Adya.

Kumara: "what am I doing?? where am I? while looking around.

Finally Kumara fainted due to her weak body after successfully taking over her body.

Raden Adya: "mother... father..." he ran up to him. "Dad are you okay?"

King Wijaya: "Im okay, you better check on your mother" while wincing in pain.

Then Adipati Bima came after the battle, he approached the King.

Adipati Bima: "Your majesty... are you okay?? Look at your glorious body."

King Wijaya: "I'm fine, don't worry. Are you hurt??"

Adipati Bima: "I'm fine, your majesty"

King Wijaya: "I ask to stop this battle."

Adipati Bima: "alright, your majesty".  then Bima shouted "hey everyone!!! Stop it...!!"

Then all the soldiers stopped fighting even though many had died from both sides.

 

King Wijaya finally admitted his mistake, he apologized to all the magicians at the end of his breath for his actions. Kumara was still lying limp and unconscious. Adya cried seeing her father's body slowly turning to ashes, there was no way to stop it. Rara could only be silent watching all this happen, she tried to calm Adyan.

 

1 week after the incident, Lentera is now under the Wonosari government. Adya, who was previously the crown prince, now becomes king to replace his father who died. Under Adya's rule, the wizarding family was finally able to return to Wonosari, now Wonosari will equip all his troops with magic for a better purpose, and also so that it won't be misused. Rara remained by Adya's side, Rara became a very beautiful empress in Wonosari, she became the most beautiful woman in Wonosari. Adya and Rara immediately held a wedding after their mother realized. Kumara is still being treated at Bhadra.

After 2 weeks, Adya gets news from Bhadra that her mother has regained consciousness. Adya immediately left the Palace with Rara, Adya and Rara headed to Bhadra using a golden carriage and was escorted by troops led by Adipati Bima. Arriving at Bhadra:

King Adya: "mother, how is your condition?" while holding his mother's hands.

Kumara: "I'm much better, son." While smiling with emotion. "You grew up without a mother for 20 years, you must have passed those days with difficulty. After our long separation, I would not recognize you if I met you on the street."

King Adya: "Never mind mother... forget what has passed. Let's live a new life together."

Kumara kept looking at Adya's face.

King Adya: "why are you looking at me like that ma'am?? I become embarrassed."

Kumar: "Why? Mother only looked at the face of this handsome mother's son."

King Adya: "ahh mother you can do it."

Then Rara enters and salutes Kumara.

King Adya: "mother, introduce this to Rara."

Kumara: "Rara?? I don't think I'm familiar with that name."

Rara: "mother, thank you for taking care of me" she said with tears in her eyes.

King Adya : "mother, this is Rara that you took care of from a baby to replace me in Lentera."

Kumara: "really??" very surprised.

Rara: "That's right ma'am, I heard that it was my mother who gave me that name."

Kumara: "yes.... I gave the name. The name has a deep meaning, even if it cannot be explained in words."

Everyone in the room smiled.

King Adya: "mother.. we will hold a wedding ceremony."

Kumar: "what?? Are you getting married?? Mother really didn't expect this to happen."

Rara: "Destiny no one knows mother." While smiling happily.

 

A week after Kumara left Bhadra, at the palace, a wedding ceremony was being held between Adya and Rara. The event was attended by all groups in Wonosari, the event lasted for 3 days, as well as celebrating the reunion of the wizarding family in Wonosari. The event consisted of traditional ceremonies, dances accompanied by gamelan, meals and much more. In essence, this event is very grand and lively.

 

While under Adya's leadership, Wonosari grew rapidly, and became one of the largest empires in the world, beating other kingdoms in Europe and Asia. During his reign, Wonosari had many new temples, one of which was Darsana Temple (to symbolize a virtuous person), Darsuki Temple (to symbolize peace), and Donahue Temple (meaning a tough warrior) to honor the services of Wonosari soldiers who died in their duties .

Adya and Rara lived as a royal family, and were accompanied by Kumara as advisors. Now Adya is highly respected in Wonosari, having previously been trampled on in Wonosari but he has proven himself to be a good leader for the people of Wonosari. Adya became a leader who was loved by his people. To commemorate everything that happened, Wonosari made an inscription as a document and a form of honoring history.
