Early in the morning when the sun began to come out of hiding on the eastern horizon, a young man appeared to enter the Black Mist Village. This young man was ordinary, even too thin for his age but he looked cheerful walking into the village wearing only worn-out shoes. This young man who looks in tatters but always smiles brightly is called Candaka.
Candaka stopped at a food stall in the village. "Hello friends, I'm looking for my uncle named Syailendra. Does anyone know where he lives?” he asked all the villagers.
All the residents smiled at him but no one answered his question. They returned to their respective activities.
Candaka then sat in a corner ordering food. "Beautiful, what's the special menu here," he asked the waiter who offered food.
“Dragon Soup, my dear,” answered the beautiful maid as she poured tea into Candaka's empty cup
"Yes, I ordered dragon soup," he continued
Candaka looked around him. His attention was drawn to a middle-aged man who was sitting alone enjoying his tea.
"You can only drink Handsome tea here, so there's no coffee or wine," replied the waiter while bringing the bowl of soup he ordered earlier.
"Whose corner is that, if I may know," asked Candaka
“Oh, it's an elder here. Don't get too close, he's a weirdo. There are often stories of the heyday of this village when Dragons still guarded the security of this village.”
Candaka didn't care about the waiter's advice. Slowly he approached the man who was dressed mediocre. Can I sit here, Uncle?" Asked Candaka politely.
The man nodded but his eyes did not look at Candaka in the slightest. His eyes were instead directed outwards with wary eyes.
Sure enough, not long after, 2 big men entered and immediately approached the table where Candaka was
"Hey blind man, you are called boss!!!" shouted one of the men.
"If your boss needs me, tell him to meet me directly. Don't send useless geeks like you who usually disturb the peace of this village," replied the man who was called a blind man by the big man earlier.
At first glance it doesn't seem that the strange man is a blind man because his eyes are still like normal human eyes which still have black eyeballs. No one knows the origin of this blind man. As far as the villagers knew, this man had been in this village long before they occupied this village. That was what made him the elder of this Black Mist village.
"You are acting!!!" exclaimed the big man while his hand grabbed the blind man's shirt to drag him down from his bench.
But what happened was beyond expectations. The blind man did not budge, as if petrified into one with the earth. The big body's friend tried to help his friend pull the blind man by force but still didn't work. "Damn, why is this old man's body heavy," he shouted.
When the blind man got up from his seat, at that moment the 2 big men bounced out of the dining area. "Braaakkk!" the supporting fence was broken by the bodies of the 2 big men earlier.
"Sorry for the damage, I'll replace it later," said the blind man to the restaurant owner.
Candaka, who had been silent, immediately got up and followed the blind man who also left the dining area.
"Uncle, can I talk to you for a minute?" panting Candaka following the blind man earlier even though the blind man was just walking casually.
“There is nothing to talk about young man. It's getting late, you should immediately find an inn. The night in this village is very unfriendly especially for newcomers!”
The blind man passed without the chance for Candaka to know his true identity. Candaka was familiar with the jutsu that the blind man had just made. That move had always appeared in his dreams lately. In a dream, he is a powerful warrior who defends the truth, who has powerful moves that were unimaginable to him before. That dream also led him to the Black Mist Village to find out the meaning of his dream.
The villagers only know that this strange and blind man is the protector of the village from the interference of newcomer bandits who extort the villagers. Not many know that this blind man is an unrivaled Swordsman of his time. The man who is now called Ki Wicaksono is the last generation of Dragon Warriors. With the title attached to him, he could actually claim the throne of the kingdom of Kamandaria, but he preferred to protect the Black Mist Village and stay in this village. After leaving Candaka, Ki Wicaksono continued his journey to the end of the village near the mountains. It looked like he was just walking normally but he quickly entered the forest behind the end of the village. This demonstrated his incredible body lightening skills.Slowly the sun began to set leaving the darkness that enveloped the forest. Ki Wicaksono arrived at a unique house that combines the concept of a house with trees."Grandfather wherever, luckily arrived quickly. It's already dark," said a beau
Candaka was just now feeling the softness of the mattress at the inn when suddenly the door to his room was kicked open with a bang. “Braaakkk!”There were dozens of people approaching him. "Where's your friend's old grandfather?" asked one of the bouncers while clutching Candaka's clothes.Candaka trembled a little seeing the many bouncers surrounding him. "I don't know, I'm a newcomer to this village!"Before they had time to inquire further, suddenly there was a sound of shouting from outside the room door accompanied by several people who seemed to fly as if someone had kicked or thrown them."How dare you gang up on men who don't know anything...!!!" shouted the woman while appearing in front of dozens of bouncers who were in the room.Haven't had time to blink, everything fell in an instant. "Tell your boss, okay, don't mess around here ... You've never been slashed with a sword, have you?" threatened the woman while brandishing her sword, which shone with a sharp shine."Yes, P
Candaka woke up early in the morning with a shock because yesterday's swordsman was somehow already in his room. "Come on, hurry up, I want to show you something interesting," Isyana said in an indifferent tone and didn't care about Candaka's state, who was still nodding off."What's wrong with waking people up so early, besides it's really impolite for you to just walk into my room," Candaka exclaimed angrily.He didn't understand this woman. Her face is pretty but her behavior is reckless and she doesn't care about other people's feelings at all.“See, look down. It's really crowded, isn't it?" Isyana pointed from the balcony of the inn to the street below which was filled with martial arts parades.“It's the people from the Dragon Palm Institute. You should learn a little self-defense at that university so you don't shake like yesterday, hahaha!” laughed Isyana without feeling that Candaka was offended by his words.“Who is shaking. I can also do some martial arts. My mother often
A flash of white and green shadows seemed to be milling about. Wusssshhh ... wussshhh!. Dry leaves flew as the two shadowy figures passed by. Occasionally, the sound of women's laughter can be heard amidst the roar of the wind caused by their movements. Their movements gave rise to white and green silhouettes adding to the beauty of the scenery at the foot of the Three Fingers Mountain.When they stopped, they began to see their figures, which turned out to be Ki Wicaksono in a white robe and Gayatri, who was clad in all green clothes. Gayatri appears to be holding a long staff while Wicaksono only has a fist.“The Dance of the White Dragon Move!” shouted Wicaksono while moving his body like a person dancing which was getting faster and faster so that it looked like a white dragon squirming while its arms were open like a dragon's grip."8-way Stick Arts!" Gayatri started playing her bamboo stick trying to roll up a white dragon that was writhing but her attacks always missed the tar
Isyana immediately greeted Ki Wicaksono while Candaka only bowed respectfully."Grandpa, Yana's friend wants to meet Grandpa, he says it's necessary," Isyana said calmly."Sorry Grandpa, I'm Candaka, who wanted to ask Grandpa yesterday," continued Candaka politely."You heard yesterday that you want to find your uncle Syailendra, right?" asked Wicaksono again.“Actually, what relationship do you have with this person named Syailendra. As far as grandpa knew he had no nephews. If I may know your mother's name, what is it, son?""My mother's name is Sri Ningsih, grandpa," answered Candaka.Wicaksono was abysmal when he heard Candaka mention the name of his daughter who had vanished in the Black Mist, long time ago."Nooooo ... Impossible ... How could Ningsih still be alive after being engulfed in the Black Mist dozens of years ago? grumbled Wicaksono."Grandpa ... Grandpa, why?" asked Isyana slowly."It's okay Yana!" Wicaksono tried to calm down."Where is your mother now?" inquired Wi
Candaka and Isyana arrived early in the morning at Dragon Palm Institute. It seemed that Bram was ready for the first training he would teach Candaka.The Dragon Palm Style is very famous throughout Black Mist Village and even to the surrounding villages. Even though this stance is not part of the 9th Kick of the Book of the Dragon Power, the efficacy of this stance has made the Dragon Palm Institute highly respected by all parties, from the rich, officials, common people, even bandits don't dare to harass this Institute, especially the Isyana Family who founded this Institute, decades ago. That's also why the bandits that bothered Candaka before were so afraid of Isyana.The Dragon Palm style only consists of 8 moves but is very effective for both close and long range combat. For Candaka, only 2 techniques will be taught, namely the Dragon Grasp Style to attack and the Dragon Shield to defend.The Dragon Grasp Style has 18 attacking moves from head to toe with the hand gripping posi
Candaka is dreaming again, only this time he dreams of being in a dark forest with big black dead trees that seem to want to swallow him whole. In the darkness he saw a bright light at the end of the forest shining over a waterfall that cascaded from the hills above this dead forest. As he was trying to enter the cave behind the waterfall, a flash of white light suddenly appeared, which became more and more real, resembling a dragon. The Dragon's mouth opens spitting white Fire at him, and Candaka wakes up startled with his whole body blackened by black soot which adds to his filth.He was still in the inn room but strangely his body felt like it had been burned by a fire leaving burning residue on his body which still smelled scorched but his body was fine."Tomorrow I have to ask Ki Wicaksono the meaning of my dream," he thought again. He also just realized that he forgot to ask where his uncle was yesterday.Candaka fell asleep again and had the same dream as before. This time he w
Early in the morning, Candaka left the inn intending to go to Ki Wicaksono's Forest Lodge. He chose the morning that was still dark because he was worried that his dream would come true, but hope was just hope. As soon as he left the inn, he was immediately confronted by a group of bandits who had ganged up on him before."Hey dirty young man, you are called Boss ...!!!" exclaimed one of the bandits whose face was bearded"Don't fight then you will be safe!" he continued.An intention arises to use the style that Bram just taught him, but his intention is abandoned because Candaka is also curious to find out who the boss of these bandits is, who really wants to meet him.Candaka followed the group of bandits to a luxurious building in this village. The yard with a fish pond and beautiful garden makes Candaka feel that he is not entering the house of the bandit boss.The Beard continued to walk towards the living room of this building. From a distance, a figure dressed in black could b
