ADJOINING REALM
CHOICES

Eight months passed, the birth of Utami's son went well. There are no obstacles and also seem not difficult.

Ki Gandar was really happy that day, he felt like a real father, after his flesh and blood came out of his wife's womb.

Today the village belongs to Ki Gandar very crowded, they until partying just to welcome the arrival of descendants Ki Gandar. All residents brought half of the food supplies in their homes, only to hold a salutation for the birth of their King's son.

Ki Gandar and Utami really felt complete happiness, they both continued to drift in joy. Without them knowing five months from the birth of Brahmin brother Amerta, the two younger brothers will lose their father, who is burned with all his beloved citizens.

Darto and Jaka were again taken to the burning place of all residents, when eight pieces of fireballs spread. The two of them were taken to the place where the eight fireballs stopped in turn.

One by one the villages that were the territory of the Sendang kingdom burned the sky. There are no lives left in two days.

The Kingdom of Sendang Langit that was so great in its influence, and also so vast its territory was completely turned into ashes. There was nothing left, and everyone was also afraid to mention the name of the kingdom.

After that day, the name of Sendang sky became a taboo for everyone who lived around the kingdom.

Everyone was afraid that they would burn to death, even if they only mentioned the name of the kingdom. They believed wholeheartedly, having seen with their own eyes all the rest of the kingdom was already level with the ground.

That was the beginning of the loss of a vast and very large kingdom in his time, the name of a sky-high hull in its heyday, but lost like swallowed by the earth in just a matter of days.

After seeing one by one the place that has become charcoal. Jaka and Darto were taken to a place where he had once been. Eyang Semar told them to dip the faces of two young men with their eyes open in the puddle, and something immediately surprised Darto and Jaka after seeing the oddity when looking in the water.

"What is it, Eyang?" jaka asked with a confused face.

"Why is it so similar to Jaka's aura?" darto was more astonished.

"All the descendants of the Heavenly King Sendang have the same red aura as Jaka. The difference is the color is more extinguished, not as bright as Jaka's," said Eyang semar trying to explain.

"The creature that you see is the form of a person who made a pact with the first King in the kingdom of Sendang Langit" continued Eyang Semar.

"Then? What does this have to do with Jaka, Eyang?" Timpal Darto with shrunken forehead.

"The first child to be cared for by Gandar was Satria's flesh blood. Because of the beauty possessed by him, the woman was taken by Satria when she was taking over the hometown of Utami. Up here you'll understand, right?" Sahut Eyang Semar's.

"So before arriving at Ki Gandar's place he had lived in the kingdom of Sendang Langit?" ask Jaka.

"He was locked up forever in the room, his duty only to serve the savage desires of Satria every day. One time she was pregnant with Satria's child, but Satria actually felt dislike for it. Satria continues to torture Utami and his future son, with the intent to abort him. Not only once or twice Utami received a crushing blow to his stomach, but no one could resist the will of the Almighty," said Eyang Semar stopped, he let out a long sigh for a moment.

"The blood of the flesh of the knight really remained healthy, although his mother sometimes did not eat for three days. One day after beating Utami up, Satria left and forgot to lock the door of the room Utami used. Utami, who saw the opportunity to leave his room, then fled through the forest behind the palace" continued Eyang, slamming his gaze. He felt sorry for the figure of the woman who had such a tragic fate.

Jaka just looked down and said, "Then? Did you know that Kang Darto has a common ancestor? Isn't she also Banaspati's target?"

"You are of Amerta descent, Jak. Utami's first child. While Darto has a bloodline that belongs to Brahmin, his younger brother Amerta. Darto carried the bloodline of Gandar," replied Eyang briefly.

"You, Dar. Maybe only you can stop Banaspati, even Darma I never showed this memory. I regret not believing in Darma so he died to protect Surya" said Eyang back, this time he looked at Darto with tears that began to accumulate in his eye bags.

Hearing the words of Eyang Semar, Jaka and Darto were truly astonished. They both assume that fate indeed runs with a million coincidences, which makes them and their predecessors always meet with bloodlines, who already do not know each other.

"Darto ... Jaka .. There's something I want to ask. So answer honestly because these are the two choices you have," said Eyang broke the confusion of Darto and Jaka.

Hearing the words Darto and Jaka suddenly nodded to each other and put an ear to the question that would be said.

Seeing the two young men in front of him nod their heads back to open his voice, "Defeat banaspati by fighting, or hand Jaka over for the offering, which one will you choose, Dar? Those two options could end this thousand-year dispute."

Hearing that Jaka spontaneously lowered his head, he felt sad after knowing that he was carrying a very terrible fate in his blood. While Darto who saw Jaka bowed for a moment immediately let out a long sigh and said, "It's clear right? I went with my sister to ask for Eyang's help. We've agreed to fight the creature together."

Jaka immediately looked up after hearing Darto's remarks. He felt touched by the words that came out of Darto's lips, until unconsciously the water flowed from the corner of his eye. In her sadness Jaka said, "Thank you, Kang. But if Kang Darto is in danger, let Jaka turn himself in."

"No! I won't let you die! I'll protect you, Jak. Never say that word again!" sahut Darto was a bit thin, his eyes looking at Jaka with a sharp gaze. What a gaze that was plastered very explained how confident Darto was with the choice he had chosen.

"But, Kang?!" reject Jaka he still can not accept if Darto must endanger his life, when there are better options at the expense of him.

"Jaka! Enough's enough!" Shouted Darto with a face of emotion, he was very unacceptable with Jaka's thoughts.

Seeing the emotional Darto, Eyang Semar pulled Darto aside, leaving Jaka alone so he wouldn't hear it.

At that time Eyang Semar whispered something in Darto's ear. Jaka who could not hear it from where he stood looked so curious, while on the other side Darto looked very surprised and very confused. His face was bowed withered, with a worried expression emblazoned.

Not long after Eyang Semar whispered one truth to Darto, Eyang Semar brought back the still-apparently confused Darto to Jaka's side. Then again asked Darto, "Are you ready for Nak Darto the descendants of Prabu Amerta?"

For a moment Darto looked down, he thought hard with a completely confused expression, but a moment later Darto looked at Jaka who was confused with his innocent face. After seeing Jaka's face which always made him feel like an older brother, Darto raised his face as he said, "I'm ready!"

Seeing the face of Yakin on Darto, and also the face of willing to sacrifice on Jaka, Eyang Semar immediately smiled and hugged the two souls in front of him. He hugged very tightly with a very noticeable expression of relief. In his arms, Eyang Semar let out a long sigh, then exhaled once while whispering, "You guys pass."
