KNIGHTS OF MANAH VALLEY
The situation of Ni Luh

Without a second thought, the Manah Valley immediately rushed towards the treatment room, followed by Wanapati and Jayadipa walking behind him. The Manah Valley tried to ask one of the soldiers still standing guard around the battle arena.

Sure enough, the young man got an answer, if the treatment room was not far from the fighting arena.

Just down the hallway of the medicine room, just a few steps they had reached a place that was quite spacious and could accommodate several people. The Manah Valley entered the room without knocking on the door first.

The young man turned his head to the right and left looking for the whereabouts of Ni Luh, among several participants who were lying down receiving treatment.

Finally the three of them saw a woman on the corner bed lying weak. Yes, Ni Luh is in the care of one of the royal nurses.

The Manah Valley approached Ni Luh and walked ahead of its two friends. The young man looked worried over what had befallen Ni Luh.

“Ni Luh, are you okay?” the Manah Valley.

But what happened? Ni Luh was stunned, speechless for a moment seeing the arrival of the Manah Valley.

“Valley, is this really you Manah Valley!” ni Luh replied in shock.

“Emm, as you can see, it's me Manah Valley!” sahut the young man.

Unconsciously Ni Luh hugged the Manah Valley tightly, it seemed that the girl missed her friend who had disappeared a while ago, so she did not care about Wanapati and Jayadipa who were standing behind the Manah Valley.

Since first meeting the Manah Valley while studying at college, Ni Luh has indeed shown his interest in the young man. Because they were often together, Ni Luh secretly liked the Valley of Manah.

However, since they were both very young, the Manah Valley only considered Ni Luh as a friend, nothing more. Although the young man had been expelled from the college, but Ni Luh still frequented the Manah Valley in his home.

“Anu, emm, Ni Luh please let go of your embrace, this is too tight. I can't breathe!” the Manah Valley.

“Ohh, sorry Valley, I was surprised because of your arrival, it turns out that you survived the abyss,” replied Ni Luh who slowly released her embrace with a slightly reddened face.

The news of the fall of the Manah Valley into the Arip-Warp Gorge also reached Ni Luh's ears. The girl heard from the Manah Valley Mother, when she was visiting the young man's house.

Ni Luh thought, The Valley of Manah will not return, because the abyss is very deep and there are no survivors when it falls into the abyss. Ni Luh also often visited the gorge, hoping to find the Valley of Manah.

“Ehem, ahem, looks like we got Jayadipa's room wrong!” wanapati.

“The world seems to belong to both of you, Wanapati, to the extent that others are considered hitchhiking!” timpal Jayadipa answered Wanapati's words that seemed to tempt the two friends.

The Manah Valley, worried about Ni Luh, tried to check the scar on the girl's left arm. The opening of the cloth that covered Ni Luh's wound, saw the gaping scratches of almost one inch that began to turn blue.

“Emm, Aunty how is Ni Luh?” ask the Valley of Manah to the royal nurse.

“It looks like the poison has already spread throughout Ni Luh's body. I don't understand what poison it is either. In anticipation, I only give you a sedative potion,” replied the royal nurse.

“Emm, now what do you feel for your body Ni Luh?” ask the Valley of Manah to Ni Luh.

“My body feels weak like I have no energy, I also have difficulty standing and feel cold even though the air around me is hot,” replied Ni Luh conveying what his body felt.

“Emm, sorry Ni Luh, may I see your neck!” said the Valley of Manah and immediately agreed by the girl. A bluish-black look coiled around Ni Luh's neck.

The Manah Valley tried to check Ni Luh's wounds, then the young man exerted a deep force on his right hand that led to a scratch wound on Ni Luh's left arm.

With the right palm open, the young man's movements were like pulling something from Ni Luh's wound. The Manah Valley released all the poison that had spread on the girl's body through her right hand that was covered in blue light, then directed the poison at the water-filled jar beside Ni Luh.

“Emm, hold up Ni Luh!” the Manah Valley.

All the poison had come out of Ni Luh's body, the poison was black which was slightly mixed with Ni Luh's blood.

“Finally, all the poison came out,” exclaimed the Manah Valley wiped the sweat on his forehead. “Emm, drink Ni Luh, this is a body recovery herb!”

The Manah Valley picked up the bamboo section from her inner pocket and gave it to Ni Luh. The young man realized that the poison on Ni Luh's body was the same as the poison on Mother Rama, the Black Shackle Poison.

The poison that makes one's body weak is helpless, but it does not cause death.

“Thank God, thank you Valley,” said Ni Luh smiling.

“Emm, yes Ni Luh. Now rest, lay your body down!” sahut Manah Valley.

Back Jayadipa was shocked by the Manah Valley because of his medicinal abilities. Likewise with Wanapati, the young man could only widen his eyes looking at the Manah Valley calmly treating Ni Luh.

“Ba, ba, how can you master the science of medicine?” exclaim Wanapati.

“Ohh, it's secret, wek, hahaha!” sahut Valley of Manah stuck out its tongue and laughed.

The four of them laughed because of the silly behavior of Manah Valley which always warms the atmosphere.

***

As the afternoon progressed, Ni Luh's condition also began to improve. Now the four of them left the royal treatment room and went out to look for lodging.

“How about we go to the inn yesterday,” said Wanapati.

“Alright, no problem,” says Jayadipa.

The Manah Valley and Ni Luh walked behind, while Wanapati and Jayadipa walked in front of him. The Valley of Manah only obeyed Wanapati, because he did not know which inn was their destination.

During the trip to the inn, Ni Luh always looked at the face of the Manah Valley. However, when the Manah Valley turned its gaze to Ni Luh, the girl turned her face towards the others.

Ni Luh looked awkward, not knowing what to say, while the Manah Valley did not dare to start talking to the girl beside him. In the end, the two of them just walked side by side, trailing behind Wanapati and Jayadipa who were babbling indistinctly.

Until they arrived at the inn, Wanapati booked two rooms for one night. The atmosphere of the inn was not too crowded, because the inn they came to was quite far from the arena of the match.

“Uncle, the four of us booked two rooms for one night. Is there anything empty?” exclaimed Wanapati asked the innkeeper's man.

“Ohh, welcome back young master. For you, we are ready to provide two rooms. This is the key sir, let me take you,” replied the innkeeper as he drove them to his room.
