8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
De Bude 15: Threat of the Horned Country
*Eighth Flower Goddess (De Bude)*
Finally, the night covers nature. Before the sky darkened, a number of white stream old figures arrived at the Howling Gorge. They include: All-Knowing Angel, Nyi Tentara Senata, Angel of the Death Palace, Sinatra Gauge Resi, White Buyut Rishi, Oath Throwing Devil, Jeblos Reef, Sky Monkey Demon, Sky Blade King, Nyi, Queen Solek Enthusiast, Swordsman Mustika Pelangkar Dewa, Angel Umbrella of Death, and Grandmother Valley of the Old Virgin.
Inevitably, those who have just arrived must miss important events and only part of the story.
There were thirty-four old figures present at the meeting that night. Five people who were scheduled to attend have returned home, namely Joko Calm, Goddess of Heart Eyes, Physician Gurgling Getir, Demon Conquering Spirit, and King of Devil Root.
After the preamble and welcome from the host, namely Ki Rawa Banggir aka Ganesha Putih, Ewit Kurnawa aka Angel Kipas Putih took over the control of the forum.
“At the meeting earlier this afternoon, some of you concluded that there are three great powers that we will face, namely Goddess Geger Jagad, the owner of the Scepter of Gods and Jin Gurba. However, there is one thing we know but have not told you yet, which is the threat from the Horn Country. Have you ever heard of the Horn Country?” ewit Kurnawa then asked the forum.
“Entertainment!” answer most of them.
“Horn Country is far across the ocean, how can it threaten this country?” asked White Buyut Resi, an old man dressed in black but all of his hair was white. His old face was almost completely covered with head hair, thick and long eyebrows, a mustache and a long beard.
“The Horns intend to control the entire Land of Jawi to be their new country. The Horn Country is a vast area surrounded by oceans, slowly the land of the country is getting submerged from year to year. Maybe they won't attack anytime soon, maybe it could be another year or so. However, we as people who are given advantages in the form of worship, must prepare from now on, so that the threat we can overcome more easily without causing many casualties. In addition to the readiness of each self, also needed group readiness. That is the first reason we invite you to come together and discuss this,” said Ewit Kurnawa.
“Be prepared to face the threat of clear steps right and wise. However, what I do not understand, why must the three of you gather us? Are not the coastal lands directly opposite the Horned Country ruled by the kingdoms. It should be those who lead this preparation,” said Nyi Karang Jeblos, a grandmother in black and already hunchbacked. As the name implies, he lives in a saltwater area.
“If we were to go straight to see the kings, they would not believe it, because the news we got was very secret, moreover there was no sign of it going to happen. Therefore, we need one person that the kings can trust, that is someone who also has an equal position with the kings,” said Ewit Kurnawa.
“Here is the Heavenly Blade King, there is the Dragon Queen and there is the Queen of Sobek…. Uh, so Queen Sobek, Queen Sole I mean, hahaha!” abna Hadaya said then laughed followed by the laughter of some participants.
“You can't make my name a joke, Abna!” snapped Queen Solek Enthusiasts. She was a beautiful grandmother with a face like she was still forties. Her makeup is so beautiful because of her shrewdness in the powder. However, that beauty was in stark contrast to her sagging physique as was the case with a grandmother.
“Eh, you don't be mad at me, I'm beautiful. If you're angry, I'll take your heart…. Eh kok envy, later I snatch your heart!” gertak Abna Hadaya's.
Queen Solek Enthusiast whose real name is Kutilantik it just frowned.
“Before here there was a real king, but unfortunately, he has come home and prefers to side with the evil woman,” said Prince Tapak Tua.
“Don't be wrong, Prince Tapak. The king you were referring to was with your disciple when we raised him to be a disciple. I think he is part of the wives of Joko Calm,” said Minati Sekar Arum who was a little offended because his student was called.
When the Three Fan Angels raised Joko Tenang as a disciple, Prince Tapak Tua's student named Kembang Buangi was indeed together with Joko Calm and Tirana.
“You need to ask your student why he is not one of Joko's wives Calm down!” the Pendekar Seribu Tapak.
“Isn't the grandson of the God of Death a king?” rishi asked Kasa Sinatra, an old man dressed in white was dignified, but without a look in the eyes because his pair of eyes were blind.
“Our kingdom has a hereditary rule not to engage with the outside world, so can't,” replied the God of Death. “The right person is Joko Calm, even though he is not present. My great-grandson is a straight man and you have seen his magic. He was a direct disciple of the Three Fan Angels and Kunsa Pari. He was surrounded by many wonderful people.”
“Can't!” shouted the Angel Yellow Face loudly.
All eyes were on the beautiful and yellow face of the woman.
“Obviously that much married young man sided with the Demon Woman. It's already become a defect. Such a person is no longer trustworthy. It did not matter whether he was a disciple of the Three Fan Angels or Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari. His power, devotion and woman had made him throw a salute at his teacher. In front of the crowd he dared to refute a teacher. That's enough. Remove his name from your consideration!” said Bidadari Faces Yellow Loud.
“I disagree with Angel. By joining the Goddess Geger Jagad in the young king's love circle, it will curb the evil Goddess Geger Jagad. I am among the people who know quite a lot about the death story of both parents of Goddess Geger Jagad and Goddess of Heart Eyes. The evil behavior of a number of warriors who claim to be white people is the party that forms a Goddess Geger Jagad. The murder of her parents made Dewi Ara look white and black just the same character, just different names,” said Kumbalabatu.
“In my opinion, let the affairs of Goddess Geger Jagad be the business of the family of King Joko. For a while ignore the first Goddess Geger Jagad,” said Resi Tambak Boyo.
“Cannot, Resi,” Deny Single Hand Goddess gently. “Me and Angel Yellow Face have a life vendetta also to Goddess Geger Jagad.”
“Then why didn't you get your revenge when the Demon Lady was here?” ask the Silver Wolf.
“I don't want to mess up the atmosphere of this event,” kilah Bidadari Faces Yellow.
“Although I was angry with my disciple, but to appoint him as a leader who could invite the kings to face the threat from the Horn Country, he was the right person,” Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari said.
“If you appoint King Joko as that leader, then I will not come!” bidadari Jawas Hati Kuning.
“I too!” the Single Hand Goddess. (RH
