Blood In the Ancestral Land
Chapter 18
The queen took the baby into the palace. He assigned a second companion to look after the baby until the ritual was over. Baby Alundra looked calm in the queen's cradle but wriggled in the move to the ladyboy.
“O little creature, you must be a submissive child” said the queen.
The queen of Diajeng prepared a ritual in the palace courtyard. The escort guards and palace guards carried the buffalo at their command. Midnight, the taboo of drums, magic is lit up like lightning pointing up into the sky. The inhabitants of the ethereal beings swayed, blood that they were impatient to taste. The guard slashed the head of the buffalo flooding the Mangkubuana land. The screams of the ethereal creatures, various gripping sounds in the interspersed screeches of black creatures floated in the air.
The guard's legs shook, they were frightened to see the sighting.
“Do not run or we will be at their prey” whispered the bodyguard.
......................
All the tasks of the rabbits just finished they again realized the loss of the baby. Search all over the place right down into the woods. Seeing the apparitions of the ethereal beings hovering above the sky, the demons ran in fear into the house. One of the creatures that saw the demon was eyeing, hitting the door. The demons held the door from inside.
“Quick turn on the fireplace!” rabbit stealth scream Priti.
Three other rabbits lit the fireplace, they inserted objects made of wood and plastic so that the flame grew bigger. The creature remained disturbing, the terrified screams of the rabbit demon were not strong enough to withstand the energies of the larger intruding creatures.
“In the count of three I will open the window, we instantly escape !” kila.
Following the instructions of the Kila demon, after the window opened everything ran to hide hoping that the monstrous figure did not find them. Elsewhere, the Mangkubuana kingdom gave a buffalo blood sacrifice making a figure who was chasing demons go to enjoy the offerings of the queen.
“Has she gone?” ask Priti.
“Yes, I think I've” replied another demon.
Satisfied with enjoying fresh blood, the entire ancestral ground dwellers returned after the full moonlight dimmed. After the ritual, the queen's strength increases. Especially the mustika stone that was on his stick. He felt himself stronger. The queen ignites a magic layered with greater power enveloping the kingdom of Buana to make it safer. No one dared to even approach in that kingdom.
The maids who were exposed to magic became demons, surrounding the baby. The son of man who was talking about being cursed by the queen confused them as to why he had even received protection from her.
“Secondly, are you not mistaken if this is the cursed child? Why do I feel sorry to see it? There are no signs of evil shrouding this child” Ursa said.
“I found out from the bodyguards, look at the shape of the black veins on his back. This is the symbol of the curse sign of the ray coming out of the black mustika of the queen” replied the second lady.
There were three maids who took care of the baby but the middle-aged was crying until his face was red. Confused about how to calm her down, the second lady-in-waiting gave her the milk of a donkey in the palace kitchen. One spoon he bribes the baby, the baby's cry gets louder until it vomits on Ursa's daydress.
“Uhuk, huek! Disgusting once!” he immediately put the baby on the mattress with a rough.
“Kumetra, just try to hold it."
“No, my wound has not healed. I don't want this baby getting the virus from me.”
Seeing the queen already standing all the ladies lowered their heads lined up to welcome her. Queen Diajeng held up the baby, she smiled curled up until her cries stopped. The maids just looked at each other to see the treatment of the queen who was usually cruel is now very gentle on the baby owned by Wanua Ubun.
The dawn had arrived, the baby was returned to the hut house in the middle of the forest. Some of the stealth rabbits that managed to survive the clutches of the devil last night one by one returned to the hut house.
“Look, we were like crazy creatures last night looking for you, chased by demons and sleeping everywhere. You are even already in a thick blanketed swing with a fireplace that is still lit” said stealth rabbit Priti.
“Hoaamm! besides getting cursed, she's a lucky baby. I'm so sleepy, let me share a blanket with you Mr. Putri” said the rabbit demon Kila.
During the blazing afternoon, some rabbits hibernate near the baby. Queen Diajeng secretly saw it. He turned the hut into a very luxurious house. A piece of wooden branch is turned into a closet, table and chair. Crows are tasked with filling the cupboard and filling the food on the table. The forest dwellers, the figure of the guard tree ordered to move in front of the house. The queen also twisted the power of the black gemstone giving off a beam of protective black coating of the house.
The face of the baby Alundra that he misses every day. Without feeling he went through the day to see the growth of the baby without missing the slightest development. All the residents of Mangkubuana know that the little baby who often plays in the room of the greatness of the queen is the son of the king Tumenggung.
“Why did this happen? I still can't believe”
“According to the wind that anyone approaching it will be cursed”
The whispers of the maids who know about her identity make the maids keep their distance to the baby. Many avoided her until they let her cry in the queen's room. Today Kumetra's lady-in-waiting and the second lady-in-waiting are assigned to look after the baby on Ursa's maid and the third lady-in-waiting.
The two assigned ladies-in-waiting knew a certain time whenever the queen returned to the palace. Thirsty, hungry and uncomfortable because the diaper is not changed until noon.
“Ursa, that damned baby keeps crying. I was afraid something happened to her” said the third lady.
“You see it, I don't want to live with the curse if it's near” said the lady-in-waiting Ursa walking towards her room.
The third dayang thought again approaching the baby, he entered the room of the ladies. They fell asleep until they forgot their job. Because it was very necessary, the baby crawled down the queen's mattress. He slammed onto the floor, both of his horns injured. The cry endured the pain, the baby crawled towards the window. Alundra's baby is a very smart baby. In order to reach the large window, he opened the drawers one by one, grabbing them by the hand holding onto the drawer above him. The baby was by the window, his cries stopped looking out into the open ocean. The rolling sea water, the birds flying above the sky. The baby wants to go there to catch animals that fly as usual. A foot was not resting on the edge, the baby fell from a height of 500 meters.
“Alundra!” the queen screamed that the baby was in danger.
