15 Chapter 14 : Group of Witches

"Meat wrapped in white cloth, tied up and then drawn with a human face and hung by a rope on a tree branch, it is a talisman used to repel evil," said Rhadelva.

"Is this a practice of magic?" Zantrivha asked.

"Not. It was just a cult of worship,” Rhadelva replied.

They then floated down the path, at the very end of the road, there was a gate made of wood and by its side there was a large torch attached and lit. They landed and walked to the gate, it turned out to be the entrance to the village. The two of them continued walking into the village, where there were lots of people's housing made of bamboo and pottery, shaped like a house on stilts and the roof was pointed at every corner. Suddenly a child came up to them, he only wore pants made of brown cloth wrapped around him without wearing clothes and shoes.

The boy looked at Rhadelva and Zantrivha with a frightened expression, he suddenly cry and entered the house. Not long after the child's parents came out and saw the two of them, suddenly the old man was surprised and rang a gong made of long wood.

The residents who heard the sound of the sirene immediately left the house, they told Zantrivha and Rhadelva to leave, according to their belief, foreign guests who entered the village environment were considered to have defiled the sanctity of the village and had to be expelled. The two of them ran away from the village, after some distance from the village exit, they finally floated and flew towards the cliff. At the edge of the cliff was found the entrance of the cave, they immediately entered and rested in it until the morning came.

Planet Arleztria

Valgredha wakes up and is inside the Arleztrian pyramid, his burns have been treated then he stands and in the room is surrounded by Arleztrian dignitaries.

“We will release you, once you tell where Mardhevarra is,” said Idramelva.

"I don't know because he shot down my plane so there would be no witnesses," answered Valgredha.

"Immediately tell the Verghoms on the planet Vergodemma, tell them that their king, Valgredha, is on the planet Arleztria, so please come here to pick him up," Idramelva ordered the troops.

Planet Suvhadis

The next day, Zantrivha and Rhadelva woke up and were still in the cave. They float and fly towards the village, they land and walk into the village. The village was very quiet, in fact there were no residents even though the doors of the houses were open.

They walked towards the center of the village and there was a square in the form of a large circular field, the residents were sitting cross-legged and next to each other in a big circle, their mouths muttering like they were reciting a Mantra. Each of their hands held a brown bowl made of wood and smoke was emitting from it.

Right in the center of the circle, there is a ritual leader wearing a robe and wearing a headband, he also carries a bowl filled with water and a large brush, then the brush is used to sprinkle water on the residents' heads, it seems he also prays by holding the residents' heads. After the blessing ritual was completed, they then dispersed. But suddenly the ritual leader realized the presence of Rhadelva and Zantrivha, the residents were shocked and frightened.

"Who are you, what are you doing here?" asked the ritual leader.

“We are looking for a Portal to the planet Vergodemma,” Rhadelva replied.

The person walked over suspiciously “Where are you guys from?”

“We are from Planet Fresthazuur,” Zantrivha replied.

It seemed the leader didn't understand what they were saying, he shook his head. Zantrivha then took a twig and drew on the sand, he drew a picture of the Portal and finally the man understood.\

"Oooh yes, I know where the thing you describe is, I will take you there, my name is Taferha, the traditional leader in this village." Instantly his face became friendly.

“My name is Zantrivha and this is Rhadelva,” he said as he introduced. Taferha asked the residents for permission to take the two of them on foot through the dense forest. After 2 hours of walking, then they arrived at the sea and in the middle there was a rock island, on top of which there was a building that stood firmly.

"That building is called Ravandall, it contains the Portal you described earlier, but the building is now inhabited by wizards and is heavily guarded, I can only take you all the way here," Taferha explained.

"Thanks for your help," said Rhadelva.

The two of them slowly floated away, Taferha was surprised to see that someone could fly.

“What… th… wait, who exactly are you guys? Where did you guys come from?” asked Taferha nervously.

"We are from Planet Fresthazuur, very far from here," said Rhadelva.

Then Zantrivha said "Just look at the sun in the sky, where we live is round like that, it's up there but further away."

“You guys from the stars? That means you guys are gods!” Teferha said as he lowered his body.

“No, we are not gods, but we are worshipers of God,” said Rhadelva.

"Allow me to give you this, dear sir, this is the lucky charm of the Darazh people, named Mungdhia," said Taferha.

He gave a small knife made of bone with a length of about 15 cm, sharpened the tip until it was sharp and the base was tied with a red cloth and there was a black rope, so that it could be worn around a necklace, similar to a hairpin. Rhadelva then accepted the item happily and he gave it to Zantrivha, then he put it around his neck.

"Thank you for your help, Mr Taferha," said Rhadelva.

Then the two of them flew away from Taferha, towards the big building but they turned around behind and landed in a small garden, then walked towards the entrance at the end of the garden. On the left and right of the garden, there is a pond whose water is cloudy green and on the edge of the pool there are human skulls that adorn the garden fence.

At the edge of the building there are towering towers. As they approached the door, suddenly from the roof of the tower descended several witches riding broomsticks and it was seen that the brooms took them flying and slowly descended before Zantrivha and Rhadelva.

They circled around in a circle, while Zantrivha and Rhadelva were in the middle helplessly. All the magicians present were 12 people, they were wearing dark brown, gray robes and there was a person wearing a black robe, a black robed person walked over.

"Who are you guys? You know once you enter Ravandall, you can't get out alive!" threaten the person.

“I am Rhadelva and this is Zantrivha, we are from Planet Fresthazuur and want to go to planet Vergodemma, can we use the Portal that is inside Ravandall?” asked Rhadelva.

Then they burst out laughing, "It's a bridge to the realm of the gods and you are not gods, after all it's just a stone from our ancestors and the story of the bridge of the gods is just a bedtime story," they said while laughing heartily.

Zantrivha said “We don't have much time, please show me where it is?”

They replied "Fight of the Z brothers first!"

“Then have them fight me!” challenge Zantrivha.

"Hey patient, control yourself!" said Rhadelva.

Two of them approached, one in black and the other in brown, one of them spoke "We have Z brothers, how dare you challenge us!"

Another replied "He is Zorn and I am Zegha, we will take your life today."

“What if we manage to win against you guys?” Zantrivha asked.

"What do you want?" Zorn asked.

“We want to get inside the Portal,” replied Rhadelva.

The 12 magicians laughed loudly, "Okay if that's what you want, but if you lose then get out of here."

“Rhadelva, have a seat. Let me face them both,” said Zantrivha.

"This kid is so arrogant!" Zegha said.
