KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
Captives

Not until there, when Durgabahu was thrown backwards, Manah Valley caught the left wrist of the strange creature.

CRICK

One wrist was broken by the young man, causing Durgabahu to grimace in pain.

“Ampun swordsman!” This time Durgabahu was already helpless and just sat leaning against a large tree.

“Still fight?” The valley of Manah pretended to raise his right hand.

“No swordsman, I beg for mercy!” pinta Durgabahu. “Excuse me for my sassness!”

The Manah Valley stood right in front of the already defenseless Durgabahu. Then the young man sat down on the root of the tree that was poking out of the ground because of the enormity of the tree. The Valley of Manah tried to talk to the creature.

On one of the topics of conversation, Durgabahu claimed to have kidnapped the residents who entered the Mentaok Square. According to the creature, villagers who come to the forest will only damage and hunt down forest products that Durgabahu thinks are very valuable to him.

“That's why I caught the villagers!” Durgabahu admitted his actions.

“Then what were you villagers?” the Manah Valley.

“I hold in a cave near the river. I also take care of them!” sahut Durgabahu lowered his head. “Although I only feed potluck, but I dare not touch them, because our world is different!”

“I'm sorry!” Suddenly the Manah Valley apologized to Durgabahu which made the creature surprised. “You guarded this forest from human greed, but I crippled you!”

“It's okay swordsman. Later this wound also healed by itself!” durgabahu grimaced in pain.

“Alright! I'll free your captives!” The valley of Manah rose to its feet and was about to leave Durgabahu. “Next, just warn if any reckless villagers enter this forest!”

Durgabahu nodded his head and looked at the Valley of Manah that passed leaving him.

The Valley of Manah continues its journey in search of the captives of Durgabahu. Still with shrubs that cover the road to go to a cave on the river that divides the Mentaok Alas.

Every now and then the young man looked back at Durgabahu who was lying helplessly. It was as if he felt guilty, had made the creature dying, but that was the fight, there were losers and also some were victorious.

Long enough the young man fluttered the thickets that blocked his path. Tracing the fern trees that grow as high as two meters.

Until arriving at a river, Manah Valley sweeping views around him. There was nothing strange about the riverbanks he encountered, just the shrubs growing on the banks across the river.

“Where did the creature hide the villagers?” lirih Manah Valley is ruffled.

However, the young man's gaze was fixed on a cave in the upper part of the river in front of which was strewn with fruit skins. It is likely that the fruit's skin was removed from the cave containing the Durgabahu prisoners.

The Manah Valley shot up by jumping on a large rock by the river bank and directly landed in front of the cave. On the front of the left side of the cave was a large rambutan tree that was fruiting, not waiting for long the young man picked a few stalks of rambutan fruit.

“Young people help us, please free us!” There was a sound from inside the cave covered with large rocks at the mouth of the cave.

It looked like an old man was peering from the side of the cave that was not covered by rocks and left only a slight gap. The Manah Valley throws several stalks of rambutan fruit that he just picked into the cave through the narrow gap.

“This is mine!” exclaimed the old man who caught the rambutan fruit.

“Mine hoi!” sahut a young man snatched the rambutan fruit from the old man who first caught the fruit.

“It's worth Durgabahu catch you!” said the Manah Valley that made a commotion inside the cave came to a halt. “You guys are too greedy. In a cornered position, emm, instead of helping each other, instead attach importance to his own stomach!”

The words of the Manah Valley made the prisoners bow their heads.

“Just relax, I'll free you!” exclaimed the Manah Valley which was greeted with smiles of the captives in the cave. “But after I set you free, do you want to change your attitude?”

“I promise you swordsman, I will take honey to taste. And leave for regeneration!” sahut a young man who admitted his guilt for draining honey in the Alas Mentaok.

“I also promise not to cut wood carelessly. And will do reforestation!” we have an old man who claims to cut down trees.

“I don't need promises from greedy humans like you guys!” exclaiming the Valley of Manah again made the prisoners of Durgabahu speechless. “Emm, but prove that you are moral beings!”

“Return to the back!”

After saying so, the Manah Valley used the Gate of Darkness to remove the boulder at the mouth of the cave where the Durgabahu captives were held.

It was easy for the young man to shift the large rock to the left side of the cave mouth. Some of the captives ran out of the cave, showing their smiles.

“Thank you swordsman. We cannot repay the hero's kindness!” call one of the prisoners.

“No need to thank me. Reply to my kindness by doing good to others!” sahut Valley Manah replied indifferently, because after hearing the story from Durgabahu, the young man actually felt guilty to the guardian creature of the balance of the Mentaok Alas.

“I can't take you home. So find your own way out, take it easy, Durgabahu don't dare to bother you!” close Manah Valley.

“One more time, we say many thanks to the master swordsman!” sahut one of the old men of Durgabahu.

After all the captives came out of the cave the Manah Valley was about to leave the cave and find a way out of the Mentaok Alas.

However, not yet had time to step foot, the Manah Valley heard the sound of crying from inside the cave that slightly echoed. The young man paused his intention to get out of the place and approached the source of the crying sound.

With a vague look as the light did not enter the cave, the Manah Valley approached the crying figure.

So surprised was the Valley of Manah when he found a woman about seventeen years old sitting with her chin resting on her folded knee.

“Young lady, why are you crying. Emm, shouldn't you be happy to be free from Durgabahu?” search the Manah Valley for the girl who seems to be hiding something.

“It's just that I'm out of this place. I don't know the way out, I'm scared too!” give the girl a stop to her crying. “Pendekar, will you take me home to Kabangun Village?”

Manah Valley frowned, the young man did not know where the village was. Then again ask the girl, “emm, sorry young lady, I do not know where Kabangun Village is located?”

“The village entered the territory of the Duchy of Kabaman!” the girl stared at the Manah Valley. “It is located west of this Mentaok Alas!”

“Oh, okay. I'll take you home young lady!” said the Manah Valley throwing a smile. “Call the Valley of Manah, emm, may I know what this young lady's name is?”

“My name is Puspa, Puspa Ayu!” The girl suddenly hugged the Manah Valley.

“Ehh, release no—nona, uh, Puspa!” Valley of Manah trying to release the embrace of Puspa Ayu. “For a while, we'd better stay in this cave first because it's near evening!”
