The Mute of The Demon Cave
In the midst of political intrigue and warfare during the founding of the Majapahit Kingdom, Jagat Wengi, a cunning and individualistic 25-year-old book thief, takes center stage. As he navigates the treacherous landscapes of both the martial arts world and the royal court, Jagat Wengi undergoes a remarkable transformation from villain to Anti-Hero. Torn between conflicting loyalties and a quest for redemption, he becomes known as “The Mute of The Demon Cave” after a fateful encounter leaves him voiceless. Armed with secret arts and fueled by revenge, Jagat Wengi embarks on a perilous journey to seek justice against those who betrayed him. Blending elements of fantasy, including magic, mysticism, and local myths, this historical fiction offers an enthralling tale of power, sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of goodness in a world steeped in darkness.
Taking Children home
In his mute state, Jagat inquired about Gendis' condition after taking her to Demon Cave. She was still too weak to recognise Jagat's name or even to say it.
Jagat tries to speak to Gendis, even though he knows she is unlikely to be able to respond. Jagat tries to encourage her by touching her shoulder and telling her they will find a way out together.
Meanwhile, inside the Demon Cave, the small children Nyai Rasmi has taken in are a source of anxiety.
{How do we get them back to their parents, Nyai? }
"I've been thinking about that, Jagat. But why did Kakang Sabrang take so long to come back? What's going on?"
{Let me see, Nyai}
"Don't. It's too dangerous. I just wanted to let you know that you stand guard here. Gendis will need you when she wakes up."
Nyai Rasmi explained that it would take several days for her mind and body to return to normal. During that time, Jagat could find a way to return her to her parents.
