Majapahit Kingdom, Century Fourteen

Chapter 7

Her nose is small and sharp with a sweet tip. And what a beautiful mouth shape. The line of her lips forms a curled cut and the skin of her lips is ruby red, moist and healthy fresh!

However, behind all this truly exhilarating beauty, there is no apparent weakness and surrender that usually exists in a woman, on the contrary, it is clear that the mighty nature behind her beauty is clear. Especially those sharp eyes shone with fiery passion and extraordinary fortitude. The clothes are simple and from this outfit, you can see the strong character of the eels. The cuttings were made of black cloth, with white lace trimmings on the waist, top and bottom. 

The cuttings that only wrapped around her chest at the base of the arms were tight, but still not strong enough to hide the beauty of her developing body. The waist was tied with a yellow embossed belt with red flowers in front, the connecting part of the belt, decorated with a silver flower with a diamond in the centre. A keris with an ornate scabbard and a handle in the shape of a dragon's head is tucked behind the belt, tilted to the left. 

From her left shoulder to her right waist, a red lawe rope is tightly stretched, which is the fastener for the quiver and the sling. From the front, all that appears are the arrowheads attached with srikatan feathers. On her left wrist is a gold bracelet engraved with diamonds with a diamond eye, while her right wrist is wreathed with a black sandalwood bracelet in the shape of a snake. In contrast to the habits of the panacea princess, this virgin wore her batik cloth a little high above her ankles decorated with silver bracelets, and this was deliberate because her footsteps became free, as was the habit of mountain women around Mount Mahameru. the fabric.

This was Diah Ratnawulan, who had now become a mighty virgin of high knowledge. For seven years Ratnawulan received advice on martial arts from his mother and from his teacher's grandfather, even he has studied mysticism so that not only is his martial arts knowledge high, but he also has amazing inner strength, which makes his enthusiasm flare-up, his fortitude knows no limits. , and his movements are calm, full of confidence in himself.

At that time, Panembahan Mahendraguna or Grandfather Semeru, who was the teacher's grandfather from Ratnawulan, had left the peak of Mahameru for more than a month, did a brata pelana and she said she wanted to secure areas in Java that were still haunted. So Ratnawulan lived alone with her mother, who now became a hermit.

Dara Lasmi has studied mystic philosophy from Grandpa Semeru and is now starting to practice asceticism. However, even though the grudge in his heart was not burning hot now, the fire of revenge was still not extinguished. She had not told her daughter about her heart, because even though she understood that now his son had become a strong and powerful warrior, far beyond her late father's prowess, but he considered his son too young.

There was some truth in Dara Lasmi's doubts, because in fact, besides her calmness and high intelligence, Ratnawulan had a basic character who was hard-hearted and did not want to give in to anyone. This trait was what motivated him so that he could extract all the knowledge from Grandpa Semeru. Every time she trained with her teacher and was defeated, she became curious and nagged her teacher to be taught new knowledge lessons used by his teacher in beating earlier.

Often Grandpa Semeru said smiling at him.

"Ratnawulan, you're just like a child! You always feel curious about being defeated and want to increase your understanding. Nature to always increase intelligence is indeed good and can advance your intelligence, but don't be too eager to have all the powers that exist in this world. The heart's desire is always filled with passionate l**t and its desire if you can embrace Mount Mahameru, without remembering that a pair of arms was only short. You know, Wulan, humans are still weak creatures when compared to all of their greatness.

Your intelligence has no limits and is inexhaustible. There is no way in this world a human being considered the smartest because as smart as someone is, there will be more. If you win in one respect against another, it is not certain that you will win over him in other matters. And finally, as smart as people are, she will feel stupid and petty when faced with the laws and powers of nature! "

However, because Grandpa Semeru was very fond of this teenager, she also complied with her request and because of that, Ratnawulan became even smarter. Good knowledge of archery, empty-handed fighting, playing creese, as well as her inner strength, made her a mighty virgin that was rare for both at that time.

Apart from being stubborn and not wanting to be outdone, Ratnawulan was also a cheerful character and was very funny too, so that sometimes he acted charming, adorable and made people want to bite with affection and love!

Ratnawulan's favourite was hunting animals and she often wandered around Mount Mahameru, so it could be said that all residents in the hamlets around the slopes and foothills of the mountain knew only this mighty virgin. Because it was understood that this virgin was a beloved disciple of Grandfather Semeru, they all respected her as a highly knowledgeable virgin. It is not uncommon for Ratnawulan to help hamlet people who are experiencing disasters. Once he had hunted and killed a wild tiger that had disturbed the hamlet at the foot of the southern mountain, and he had also once driven out a rude man who championed and insulted the villagers by relying on his strength.

On that day, Ratnawulan as usual came down from the top of the mountain. She was going to hunt deer because she had not eaten venison in a long time. For several years her mother has not eaten meat, and only eats vegetables, so if she gets a game, she only eats the part she likes best, while the rest she gives to the people in the nearby hamlet.

Ratnawulan had passed two forests, but she had not seen a deer. She became irritated and her joy diminished a lot. Why is she so unlucky, she thought.
