Chapter 9: The Mark of 212
"Why are you so surprised?" asked the old crone, Sinto Gendeng. "Are you scared?" "Eyang… you're going to injure me again?" Wiro asked cautiously, body tense and ready. But the old woman only let out another shrill, manic laugh and stepped back seven paces. "Close your eyes, Wiro!" she commanded. "But… what are you going to do—" "Eeek! You little monkey! I said close your eyes, not ask questions! Now do it!" Wiro reluctantly obeyed. His eyelids lowered, but not tightly…-

“Yes,” the young man replied. “But how did you know, Kiai?” “I only guessed,” said the masked man. “Widura’s forces would need your help. Without it, disaster may come. But with your presence, perhaps it can be avoided.” “Why would my presence make such a difference?” Agung Sedayu asked. The masked man exhaled deeply. “Is it not true that with you, Widura will be warned of the coming danger? And who among them could stand against the son of Ki Sadewa?” Agung Sedayu…

Chapter 8: The Phantom Duel
The man who had appeared was indeed the Hawk of Jalatunda. The youth cursed relentlessly as he finally caught up to Agung Sedayu’s horse—only to find it riderless. “Damn it!” he growled. “Where are you hiding, you slippery rabbit?” With eyes burning with fury, he spun his horse around. In his calculation, Sedayu could not have gone far—surely, he was still lurking nearby. As the Hawk retraced his steps, his heart pounded harder when he spotted a horse standing quietly in the path. A…-

Chapter 8: The Last Lesson
But Eyang Sinto Gendeng did not strike. Instead, the grandmaster simply leapt into the guava tree and settled back onto the same branch she had perched on before. “Very good, Wiro... Very good,” she said, her face turned firmly eastward. “All these years I’ve trained you atop Mount Gede... and you did not disappoint me.” Then she laughed, long and shrill like a crazed bird at dawn. As her laughter died away, she sang once more—yes, that same eerie song that had stirred Wiro’s heart…-

Chapter 7: Three Deadly Strikes
Sinto Gendeng, lunged forward with blinding speed. The massive double-bladed axe in her right hand slashed left and right in a frenzied motion. This was the Madwoman Swatting Flies technique. Wiro had practiced this move before with only a kris blade—and even then, the technique had proven formidable. But now, its original creator was wielding it herself, and with a weapon far more terrifying than a mere dagger. The result? Pure devastation. The axe blurred, flashing so fast it was barely visible. A…-

Chapter 6: The Axe
For all the strange years Wiro Saksana had spent on the peak of Mount Gede with his eccentric master, never once had he heard Eyang Sinto Gendeng sing. But that day, under the sharp sky and wind-whipped silence, she sang—and the words stirred something deep within him. The tune was off-key, the voice aged and quivering, but the lyrics carved their way into Wiro’s heart like the tip of a dagger. "Seventeen years have passed," she sang. "And the mountaintop remains the same. The sky is still blue.…-

It was almost unbelievable. At the blistering peak of Mount Gede—a place thought to be lifeless and abandoned—echoed the peals of human laughter. Sharp, shrill bursts rang through the air, sometimes replaced by fierce scolding, then again by a wild, loud and boisterous laugh. Clearly, two people were atop the mountain that scorching noon—locked in a duel of terrifying power. A duel… of laughter? One of them was a shriveled, black-skinned old woman in all-black robes. Her skin clung to her…

The young man walked on under the blazing sun of the dry season, muttering to himself.“If Rara Murni truly is the younger sister of the King of Pajajaran… then her kidnapping must have a great cause behind it, with consequences that will stretch far and wide!” He tilted his head up at the sky.“Ah… how quickly the sun has shifted…” he sighed. Not long after, he crossed paths with a vegetable seller. “Uncle, which way leads to the Limanaluk Valley?” the youth asked. The seller…

No sooner had Kalasrenggi left the ruined hut than the youth who had been struck and kicked suddenly leapt to his feet. He strode back beneath the leaky roof, wiping rainwater and mud from his face. His clothes were smeared and filthy. He patted his left hip, still sore from Kalasrenggi’s kick. “Damn it! That monkey’s kick really hurt!” he cursed aloud. “One of these days I’ll repay his… hospitality!” The truth was, when Werku Alit had struck him with that deadly finger jab, the youth…

The man walked through the winding corridors at the back of the palace with his head lowered. From time to time he passed guards. None of them stopped or questioned him, for they all knew this man was Udayana, attendant to Prabu Kamandaka. All matters of the king’s household were under his care. At the great back door of the palace, Udayana paused, then crossed a small courtyard and entered the doorway of a finely built smaller house. Here, two guards crossed their spears to bar him. “I wish to…
