No Mountain Too High (Last Tigrian Chronicles)
It was a cool sunny day so no one expect the tragedy of plane crashed from exclusive flight-demo at Mount. Salak, West Java and that includes Lev who’s been busy for the deadline. No wonder Lev was shocked to hear the news and found out lots of message from her twin sister, Vianka who had task to cover the flight for TV Station she works, that confirm she’s on that plane.
Vianka’s corpse returned to Jakarta along with other victims and buried at cemetery but since then Lev had some vision that Vianka is still alive and heard whispering voice calling for help. Vianka’s boss interest to what happened to Lev then asked him to go along with Channel 7’s crew that want to produce the cover story about Sukhoi’s last flight.
Lev went to Mount.Salak with Jaka (Senior Reporter), Ridwan (Cameraman), and Samsudin (travel guide) to see the site directly. Outside the fact that the forest had taking many lives actually it was a beautiful place to be visited and the crew had to climb down the cliff in order to get inside the wreckage spot. When they makes shot of program Lev realize that they were not alone. Something watching them but he couldn’t explained what was that.
Samsudin tells the story about the legend of Khisima when they rest on that night and soon after that they were attacked by the beast. It killed whole crew and leaving Lev alone to survive down the valley after he managed to trick the phantom tiger to jump over the cliff. Lev heard the screaming of Vianka for his name and climb down to the valley once again to seek his twin sister. But when Lev could get her from saved hole he found somebody pulled the robe from the top of the cliff and the only way to get out from that place was to get through the woods.
But he still chased by that mysterious creature, a black giant tiger named Khisima who apparently didn’t die from the cliff jump. To avoid Khisima, Lev trick him once again with hiding himself and Vianka on the tree top and leaving false trail for Khisima to be followed. But he’s not only had to face the vicious tiger that hunt him persistently but also nature cruelness, the attack of forest ghost, and the killing swamp.
Once, in a hard rainy day Lev realize that they were follow by forest ghost. Many eyes staring at him and Vianka who being rest under the tree and turn out they start to grab Vianka and yanked her far to stay away from Lev. He’s chasing them like wild and fought the things until he could have Vianka back before they thrashed into the bottom of the valley more deeply.
The run brought Lev and Vianka to some beautiful waterfall in the heart of the mountain woods and led them to reveal an ancient secret that’s been guard by Khisima all this time. The secrecy of Padjadjaran peoples who were followers of King Siliwangi which flee to the woods to avoid civil war at the war of Bubat, and the reason why King Siliwangi didn’t want to cast out the blood of the rebellion who take his throne but declare to vanished in eternally, which made them secret tribe and no one able to found them since then.
The followers which lead by Khisima, King Siliwangi warlords trust, are the secret tribe that called Tigrean. Their ability as a Cindaku, a tiger-transformed human, made them not only became blood thirsty living thing but also finding the followers as their kind. This Cindaku could change form as a tiger by spelling the mantras, so there’s no boundaries such periods (full moon) or time (night fall).
They filled with desire to hunt and change Lev out. But Vianka, who turned out to be one of them, protects Lev so he could have time to run from that place. He has no other way to save her because she wanted him to run like hell before the tribe’s leader, the great tiger, chase him down. So he was furious on his running, realizing Vianka would not had a chance to win the fight against the whole tiger’s tribe, cries out to hear the scream and loud noise when they torned her up.
