Blood In the Ancestral Land
Chapter 14
The atmosphere of rebellion on the other side of the two bodies was abandoned, everyone was busy attacking each other and saving themselves. Seeing the chaos, Wanua palace only left hundreds of soldiers. Successfully eradicating the followers of the queen mother, she built a fortress. Along the entrance of the palace was filled with deadly traps.
“King, the body of the queen and the queen mother has just been buried, everyone in the palace is still grieving. Please state your intention to perform this ritual. Servant is afraid the spirit of the queen and the queen mother becomes unsettled” pinta the eunuch chairman.
“Tau what are you ? I hear every night the screams of the Diajeng queen who constantly haunt me! Hasn't the queen's body and the queen's mother been buried?”
“King, but supposed to do events after ten days__”
“Stthhh silent! Didn't you hear the scream? The queen of Mangkubuana the demon just screamed and laughed at me! Soldier! Quickly prepare the tools of war! We don't have much time!”
“King!” said the eunuch.
In his mind now does not regret saving the daughter of the heir Wanua ubun. The eunuch was afraid of being affected by the curse from him. In order not to forget where the last time he met the princess, the eunuch chief wrote a secret map in the forest so that at any time he would come back to pick her up.

It was a clear morning over the house of the old woman who was experiencing a severe storm. He opened the door feeling strange seeing a natural phenomenon exposing a different sky. The rain is getting heavier with the strong wind. The baby Alundra was crying cold and hungry.
“Hei little monster, if you don't want to keep quiet then I'll eat you into a warm soup piece! Look, after your presence, the house seems to be cursed!”
The old woman came out of the house wearing an umbrella. As usual, she slammed the door letting the baby stop crying. Every day the demon crow gave him sweet honey water instead of thirst and hunger.
Sometimes the queen Diajeng secretly checks the condition of the baby. He changed his diaper with a leaf that was turned into a soft and smooth silk fabric spin. Dial ah who lowers the storm every day in the old woman's house. But can not bear to hear the cry of the princess makes him diligently approach to see everything in need.
“I didn't expect the grumpy queen to have a noble heart” the crow's stealth murmur saw from a distance.
Her mother is gone, the baby feels the departure of the mother until she cries all day. Swings made of bamboo made by stealth crows can usually calm them in the cradle. But the cry has not subsided, the demon worried until he changed into a human form holding the baby.
The old woman was surprised when she saw baby Alrundra in a carrying the figure of a man who had thin black wings on his back. The man put the baby back into the swing and rushed off to fly.
“Really you are a lucky cursed baby!” exclaim the old woman.
He was two centuries old, but until now the magic potion that he formulated every day seemed to have no effect other than just to prolong his age. As if a potion made by himself to be destined to take care of the princess. Realizing that the baby had been taken care of by another creature, the old woman tried to kill him by strangling the baby's neck.
Lightning struck the trees around his house. Many crows came flying inside, they attacked the old woman until she let go of the strangulation. Baby Alundra was crying in pain. Since the old woman no longer hurt her, the crow hordes disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Outside the giant cage felt a very hot air. How can the eunuch take some of Garuda's feathers while approaching it will be roasted?
The eunuch actually sacrificed himself to forcefully open the cover made of white iron. He pressed the button that was in the corner of the ground wall space. His fingers pelt, after the cover was open, the eunuch was very surprised to see the figure of Garuda as a whole.
“Animals in the ancestral ground are the strongest in the universe!” said the eunuch flabbergasted.
The skin and body of the eunuch chief had already pummeled, he put his hand in the cage. Forcibly pulling a strand of Garuda feather, the tip of the newly touched feather moved to throw his hand. His beak approached, the eunuch retreated to see the flame released by Garuda. Very hot and felt so burning body, behind him stood the bodyguard pulled the eunuch's body to come out.
“Your time is up, soon the king will come to check on this animal. Quick go!” throw out the bodyguard.
The eunuch had already given up hope, he was unconscious as he walked towards the palace gate.
“That eunuch chief, his body burned to the ground!”
“”Come quickly we help him!”
The palace healer treated him with the smell of roasted meat on his body. Occasionally the fishy aroma feels carried away by the wind. His body was in a bandage, after realizing he could not move in the slightest. He could not do anything, asking for help from others would only unlock the secrets he kept and would definitely threaten the safety of the princess. The eunuch chief was not calm all day he did not want to eat or take the medicine given by the physician.
“Chairman eunuchs, how can you recover if you do not want to eat, drink or drink my herbal ingredients this” said the healer.
He is like a man who is tired of living, turning his face no matter all the words of the physician. The king came with a cruel view, he remained the king of Tumenggung who sided with the people and his troops who moved to Wanua ubun. The role of a leader never thinks about the safety of all residents of Wanua Ubun.
“chair eunuchs, what is happening to you that you do not want to restore your condition? Are you tired of accompanying me as the head eunuch who takes care of all the will of the king?”
“Pardon my noble servant, but it seems like the time of the servant is very near”
“What have you said? Physician, quickly force him to swallow all that and immediately heal his wound. Once he's healthy, I'll interrogate why he's burned. Looks like the eunuch chief is starting to hide something from ku” said the king who began to suspect.
Seeing that the king was gone, the eunuch chief asked the physician to have his death quickened.
“I beg you, healer, give me a poisonous potion. I can no longer live as a chess piece for the demon-hearted king.”
