Blood In the Ancestral Land
Chapter 7
Hearing the princess go to Wanua Ubun, it was a golden opportunity for Mr. Poh to move to carry out the plan. The first thing was to torture the Kumetra lady-in-waiting to open her voice regarding all the secrets of the princess.
The torment made her vocal cords almost break because for the whole night until morning screaming in pain. A long whip of whip tore through his body. Blood flowed, his body trembled unable to receive any more punishment.
"Just tell me what the kid's secret is?" ask Mr. Poh.
"Hamba doesn't know young master. Hix"
"Continue torturing him until he opens his voice! "
"Good sir. "
The entire army was already on standby to attack the princess' followers. He was with the skull head sect waiting for the arrival of the tutored princess. On the seat of greatness, Pak Poh felt himself worthy to be a king of the country.
"What is young master Poh doing in the great seat of the late king? the leader of the Mangkubuana country has not been inaugurated, does he want to shift the Crown Princess? ask the palace's advisors.
"If he had been sitting there, it would have been very clear there would have been a war for the throne" whispered the prime minister.
Received news from Trangga that Pak Poh was waiting in the palace hall. He also said there were many warriors who wore the clothes of other sects with skull head symbols. The anger of the princess who has not died down is getting bigger.
The palace hall.
Mr. Poh smiled faintly and ordered one of his followers to hand over a scroll containing a power transfer letter. The princess burned the scroll with power coming out from her finger. Mr. Poh glared taking out a sword aimed at his body.
The attack was carried out by palace guards. Poh's followers began to attack, the palace guards slashing the rebels' throats with their sharp swords.
The princess kicked the stick. He lifted Mr. Poh up on the ceiling of the room and dropped it on the tile.
"Uncle, half my soul still remembers you are the elder sister of the late queen. Do you still intend to fight me?"
"Ahaha, now you have gained the black power of the ancestral ground. As the fortuneteller Ming said. Check out this ancestral land. Ahahahah! "
He stabbed himself. Poh did not want to die at the hands of his nephew. Poh's death shocked his followers. They had no choice but to become followers of the princess.
"Court advisor, quickly hold my inauguration ceremony right now!" the princess's orders.
She sat on the throne, on that day the Crown Princess was taught to be the queen of Mangkubuana. He wore a black crown, ravens flying into the palace hall perched near the queen's seat.
"Live queen Mangkubuana!"
Many cheers of state officials congratulated him.
Under the black-covered sky the queen changed every corner of the palace containing an aura of darkness. The pet genies occasionally take a toll on the soul and then remove the aura of pure air.
On this long night the queen turned the baton of mustika gem of the black sphere looking for where Garuda was.
"Is this science no longer useful? I found no trace of Garuda" murmured the queen.

"Cumetra, take one stalk of the flower. I'll turn it into an antidote in the battlefield and I'll plant it near the rock cliffs."
"Will I do it, Queen."

Funeral process
The funeral was not attended by the queen. He just stared at the delivery troupe from a distance. Spreading out the poppy powder, using its power fertilize the plant in the blink of an eye. The roar of the waves in the ocean broke the silence of an unfinished vengeful memory. He's still looking for where Garuda is.
“Queen, why don't we ask the king about Garuda?” ask Suga.
“A little bit he opened his voice in front of me then I will tear his mouth!”
He catches a flying crow, blowing an ordered magic will become a spy at the work of Wanua Ubun.
“Make my third eye to know all about the kingdom”
“Good her majesty queen.”
He sat on top of the stopover while watching the roar of the waves in the ocean. On that day, the small ships he had put with the king were still imagined by him. He should have broken the evil king's head. But the rest of his feelings allowed him to stay alive in the curse.
From a distance, there are many ships anchored to the dock. The troops wearing armor carrying swords and spears headed to the Buana region. In the front row looks king Tumenggung turn on the signal. Thousands of arrows pierced the hearts of the soldiers who were in the border fortress of the palace.
“Queen, a surprise attack from the king of Tumenggung has killed the border troops. Warlords are dying too. They like to have the science behind his sword” said the palace guard.
“Tranges, throw these black seeds into the forest. Before throwing make sure you prepare the safest hiding place” orders the queen.
He ran into the forest, looking right and left until he saw a cave behind a large rock. Trangga threw the black seed and then ran into the cave. How surprised he saw the roots, trees, rocks and other living plants moving to attack the army of the king of Tumenggung. The palace guard was frightened, he did not know where to hide because everything in the forest came to life.
“Argghh! Please!”
Suga's bodyguards pulled him away, they were almost hit by a running tree. On top of the hills saw the Wanua troops burning huge trees and other plants using gunpowder bombs using the giant tools they carried. Seeing the many fallen Buana troops, the queen flew up the waves to drown the king and his soldiers.
As if the Tumenggung king had a thousand lives, he got stuck on a tree trunk helped by the rest of the soldiers on a small boat back to Wanua Ubun.
The princess thought that if she had died that day her entire army would have perished, her people would have suffered and the throne would have been taken by her uncle Pak Poh.
The blood of the enemies in the Buana region, the flesh of the dead bodies that are eaten by crows and the sound of the screams of the wandering spirits echo at night.
“What is going on in this land? every night no one comes out” said Suga.
“Court guards, haven't you heard of the black magic that the queen has killed? Only certain people who died in the encounter horrible creatures” whispered one of the soldiers.
“Conon reportedly, blood can not disappear even if dripping on the ground. Not sure the truth, but the silence every night is a real proof of the news circulating” said another soldier who was beside him.
