Evil Wind Collapses the Palace

THE leaders of Bhayangkara, the king's bodyguard enter a secret connecting passage Grahasarwa with the palace. Anarjaya, the main leader Bhayangkara walked in front. Mapanji Pamattu, the leader of the Crow Team, and Sorta, the leader of the Tigers team follow. Bagas, who is now lined up as Mada, the leader of the Elephant Team walked at the very back.

Bagas is now wearing dark blue clothes unbuttoned dress with a colored cloth blue with a black red pattern that covers the waist up to the thigh. Dark blue clothes with cloth blue with black red pattern is a dress the greatness of Bhayangkara. Leaders only Bhayangkara who can use it.

Bagas pounding. He stared at the hall's wall made of red brick with trepidation. Fate has forcing him to play the most important role in his life. In fact, perhaps, the most important role in holding the head of the statue.

"With my cue. Three, two, one…" In unison Anarjaya and Mapanji Pamattu turned the heads of the statues.

Anarjaya turned to the right, Mapanji Pamattu to the left.

There was a creaking sound. A door opens. Door it's small but enough to pass through.

They had now come to another passage. The hall is dark, with a faint light from nowhere. A statue, was also in the passage. Anarjaya moved the statue's right hand, and the door they came through closed.

Unknowingly Bagas whistled in admiration. It's really out of the ordinary normal. They just went through a secret passage, that is equipped with a door that is also secret, because only can opened in a special way. He just doesn't expected to encounter something like this in Majapahit.

"This is a secret passage that can only be passed if there is one important events and occurrences. Only squad heads and the Bhayangkara leader who knows this passageway, and how to open and close it," whispered Sorta.

Bagas nodded. His chest rumbled. There's a taste proud in his heart. These three people seem to be like that believe it. Even already think of it as part of the group, part of the leadership of Bhayangkara.

He is now allowed to know that secret only few people know!

As before, the passage they were walking through was a dead end.

There is a red brick wall ahead. This time there was no statue.

Tumenggung Anarjaya nodded and immediately walked into the palace hall. As Head Bhayangkara and the title Tumenggung, Anarjaya is one of the very few who can came to the king, even if not called.

"Sorry," Bagas whispered while they were walking to the hall. "Bhatara Sapta Prabu, who is he?"

"Bhatara Sapta Prabu is a term for mentioned nine people whom His Majesty appointed to be advisor. They are usually a close family

majesty who comes from Swarnadwipa," Mahisa replied Kedora, also while whispering.

Bagas nodded. He knows that the mother of the His majesty, namely Dara Petak or also called Indreswari comes from Swarnadwipa, or Sumatra according to the tongue modern Indonesians, and brought to Majapahit by Kebo Anabrang. That then Prabu Jayanagara made his relative from Swarnadwipa become advisor, it was a new thing for him.

At least that was not recorded in history.

A young man emerged from the hall. He wearing fancy clothes. He smiled kindly, but his face looks crumpled.

"Greetings, my lord Anarjaya and friends Bhayangkara. There is wind whether so gentlemen show up to the palace? Is the wind evil?" The young man said with respect.

Anarjaya, followed by Mapanji Pamattu, Sorta, Mahisa Kedora and Bagas returned the salute. "evil wind, Adityawarman's brother. There is an evil wind that wants tear down the palace. Can we face

Your Majesty?"

This young man who is called Adityawarman shake his head. "Hem, why my lord Anarjaya too much custom? As Bhayangkara, my lord

You can come anytime, and you don't need to ask anyone's permission. who, including us, Bhatara Sapta Prabu. Especially

when it comes to evil winds. Come on, gentlemen..."

Adityawarnan immediately turned and entered gate, followed by Bhayangkara leaders.

"Adittyawarman is your majesty's cousin, Dara's son Jingga, Dara Petak's sibling," whispered Sorta.

"He can be trusted?" Bagas replied in a whisper.

"As far as we know, he can be trusted.

The setting is also good. Morale high. Unlike..."

Sorta stopped his words, as if reminded that he doesn't deserve to say that.

They now entered a large room. Main Hall Keraton, where Maharaja Jayanagara received guests.

Faintly heard the sound of gamelan. Also the song sung slowly.

That's all Bagas knows because he immediately kneel down and worship, as well his colleagues did.

"Go ahead, Tumenggung. You want to tell what wind to Ingsun?" Sounds fine. The voice of His Majesty Jayanagara. As king, he

called himself Ingsun. Bagas knows what Ingsun means me, but it is usually said by someone who feels higher level than the interlocutor.

"Your majesty, who is worshiped by all my subjects country," Anarjaya heard speaking. "Servant indeed want to talk about the evil wind. But sound I won't be heard if it's too noisy…"

For a moment there was no reply. Anarjaya said softly that the room had so many people that it wasn't interested. That it's good if they don't interested in leaving the room. Sire apparently understand because a few moments later there was clapping one hand.

"You all leave this place. Also soldier guard. Only brother Adityawarman and Bhayangkara who live here."

There was the sound of distant footsteps. And then silence.

"Hopefully it won't be noisy anymore, Tumenggung. go ahead,

sit down and talk…"

Anarjaya saluted and moved forward, then cross legs The order "sit" from His Majesty means he may cross legs Mapanji Pamattu, Sorta. Mahisa Kedora too Bagas did the same. Even though cross-legged, they kept their heads down.

"We have received definite information about the evil winds that want to tear down the palace, Your Majesty the Great."

"Hmm. Who? Who dares to want to destroy palace?" Jayanagara said. He sounded angry.

"A thousand pardons begging, Sire who became my offerings throughout the country. From ours listen, those who want to spread the evil wind are the ones Dharmaputra..."

Lonely.

For a moment.

"You know the meaning of your sentence, Tumenggung? You will be sentenced to death with your words…"

"A thousand pardons, Your Majesty. We are ready give our lives anytime sire will. But what we say is true. Mada, the leader of the Elephant Team has done investigation..."

"Where's madam?"

Bagas immediately saluted. "Servant here, Your Majesty who is worshiped by all the land."

Bagas said and tried as much as possible so that the sentence sounded like the people of Majapahit.

"True you knew the evil wind would did Dharmaputra do?"

"A thousand pardon majesty, but that's how it is that I have seen and heard firsthand. Whole servant's men, Team Elephant died because of this news. We were caught, being chased. Luckily, I managed to survive…"
