Blood In the Ancestral Land
Chapter 9 The curse-connecting spell
The queen threw a pot containing fresh flowers at the king. The object was immediately on the edge, the body moved dodging to the right side. His seams were still wet, he frowned at the roughness of the queen. Upon awakening, he heard reports from his escort lady about the shocking events of the entire palace.
“What's wrong with you, my queen?” ask the king.
“Am I the queen for you? tell me where you kept the head of the Queen Dowager that you hid from me!” snapped it.
“I'm sorry, queen ku__”
Long quarrels while walking to the funeral of the late queen mother. The queen sobbed after seeing the head separated from her body. The queen fainted again when the queen mother's coffin was buried. The queen's envoy Diajeng daily reported all the things about the kingdom.
“Hahah, the woman is too dramatic, she must have heard the news that the king of Tumenggung will occupy the power of the crown princess Diajeng. He easily accepted the king's proposal even though Kumetra had given him a letter about the king” muttered the queen Diajeng.
“Queen, there is news about the people of Buana who got terror from the spirits when they came out yesterday afternoon” said the palace guard.
“Didn't I say that don't get out of the house at night even a step away!”
“Queen, the man is looking for a child shaman because his wife is going to give birth. But it was unexpected that a terrible figure appeared to absorb the blood until his body dried”
“How about his wife and baby?”
“They were saved by the surrounding residents who crowded to guard the house until the morning.”

The queen was taught to stand on top of the palace tower. On top of the flash of the sky that emitted lightning, he blew the black magic power spreading a plague outbreak to the Wanua Ubun region. On a gripping night, the screaming sounds of people scratched all over their bodies which gave off red patches.
“Ital! Itching once!”
Some people who could not stand running like crazy rubbed their bodies on the ground. A swipe to slash his own body on the surface of the rough sand. It was as if the itching was beyond the pain they felt.
“What happened to my people?” ask the king.
His sleep is not good. After turning away from the Diajeng queen he experienced many calamities. Seeing the situation of the queen Gendis was very weak made him even more worried.
“King, it looks like this plague came from black magic. If allowed, I will bring a psychic to help” said the eunuch companion.
“Ya, quickly get her.”
The next morning the psychic stood before the king. He shook his head at the black smoke that covered the entire Wanua Ubun land.
“Strength of this magnitude I can't beat!” muttered.
“My respect to the ruler of Wanua Ubun, may the king live a long life” he said then kowtowed.
“I'm sorry, great king, I cannot eliminate this powerful plague of magic. But servant can cure them”
“Tell me what great power do you mean?”
“Unmatched strength that comes out from within the bowels of the earth. There is an heir to the throne of the seventh descendant who woke him” replied the astrologer.
The king thought it must be the queen of Diajeng. In the front palace courtyard has been arranged benches and tables for the people affected by the disease. The king ordered the psychics to treat them one by one. The more people who recover, the more infectious diseases in others until the psychic is overwhelmed.
“This kind of worm continues then my power will run out” muttered the psychic.
“Hei paranormal, why did you stop? Quickly continue your work!” snapped one of the guards who began to wipe his body that felt itchy.
He has been given the gift of sati the gold chest every day to heal the people. But his powers are almost exhausted, the psychic sees his own death if he continues this treatment. Behind his vision in a few hours will come the figure of the plague-bearer. As the psychic was about to escape, two bodyguards confronted him with sharp spear weapons.
The rolling sea water took him flying to the Wanua Ubun palace. He broke the necks of the people, their cries of pain were heard by the king. The foot stitches that began to dry again torn when running attacked the queen Buana. He was slammed several times until half of his body was burned.
“Enough! Stop!” shouted the Queen of Gendis.
His big stomach ignited anger in the eyes of the queen Buana. He choked up the queen while looking at her stomach.
“I've cursed your son, if I kill you now then you can't feel the curse for him. Hahaha” the laughter of queen Buana then disappeared.
In between the disease outbreak that is still attacking, Wanua Ubun area in poverty so that the soldiers participate in farming and become fishermen. A few months later the queen gave birth to a baby girl. The news was heard by the queen of Buana. The ceremony of naming and embedding as the crown princess that will be live today makes the queen can not wait to be present in it.
“Suga, Kumetra, be prepared to accompany me at the birth of the king's son Tumenggung” said the Queen.
Only a few important officials of the palace and the nobles were present at the event. The birth of the heir to the near-collapsing Wanua Ubun kingdom was like giving hope to his people. The arrival of queen Diajeng and her two loyal followers in a rainstorm. Sea water entered the palace to a foot-high level. The queen flew over the rolling water to approach the baby basket while the two guards pointed the sword towards the king and queen Wanua Ubun.
“Devil woman I did not invite you to this event, go you!” drive the king.
“Oh, I forgot not to invite my old lover. I thought I was a special” guest replied the Diajeng queen with a grinning smile.
“A beautiful little-eyed baby, dear to everyone but dear to have a deadly curse__”
“Basic you devil woman! Stop!” shouted the king.
Hearing the second swearing, Suga slashed the king's shoulder and Kumetra punched him in the face twice. The Diajeng queen turned her head and continued her magic spell.
“Connecting the curse I cast while you were still in the womb. A lifetime of suffering and crying. A curse that no one can pull out!”
The black smoke magic enveloped the baby's body. The queen Diajeng disappeared carrying both of her followers. He left a booming laugh. The fear of the guests present ran away from the palace.
