Swastika Naladhipa
Aksara mantra

Nayaka sped up his run through the drizzle that was starting to close. He turned to the right at the intersection of two roads. The road they passed slowly again filled with vines that spread to the branches of trees that have been molten and muddy roads inundated with water.

The longer it gets dark. Only the shadows of some trees appeared. The pool of water that was being passed was getting deeper and sending them to a small lake.

''Master, is the path we are going through right?" ask Kailash while paying attention to the puddles that have been murky when passed.

''Of course. Didn't you guys ask me to send you to meet the greatest sorcerer in the country?'' Nayaka asked back.

''But why are we going through this puddle?'' ask Tika.

''Because he (the magician) lives here," Nayaka stopped and pointed to a bright enough light behind the fog.

''He lived in the middle of this small lake. You see the light behind the fog? It was the light of his house. I helped you get here enough because there's still an unfinished forest I'm guarding. Later I will wait for you here, continued Nayaka while lowering her body so that Kailash and Tika can go down.

''Alright. Thank you for your help, sir.'' Kailash bent his body

''Thank you, Tika also followed Kailash.

Brush...

Nayaka walked down the puddle of murky water back to the forest border.

''Kailash, how can we go down this lake to get there?'' Tika shrugged her shoulders.

''Wait, give me a thought, '' answered kailash.

''Why don't we ask Mr Nayaka for help?'' Tika frowned.

''He just left. And he has helped us so far. I don't want to bother him anymore, '' said Kailash.

''Then what can we do now? Ahaaa, just use that blue dust of yours, Kailash, Tika's index finger leads to the pouch on Kailash's waist

''Hmmm..I'm a little doubtful. But let's just try it first Kailash replied a little hesitantly.

''Wah.bisa..,'' Tika excited.

''Don't move too much, we don't know how it works here'' Kailash said slowly.

When it has been lifted up by a few meters. Bruukk...

They fell into a puddle of water that soaked half their bodies.

''Oh... Why does the dust not work?'' Tika checked all the dust that was sprinkled on her body.

''I guessed. I'm sure it doesn't work because maybe our magic is suspended. Since we are in the vicinity of the sorcerer's house, he could have put a damper around this lake, Kailash replied.

''Then how can we cross over there, if all our magic in redam?' - Tika.

''Maybe I'll try one of the spells I learned. Hope it works, '' - Kailash.

He put his tiny index finger in a puddle of water and carved something with his fingertips.

''What are you doing?'' Tika confusion.

Kailash was silent and seemed to focus his mind on the puddle. Then he wrote down a spell that looked like a script. Slowly he carved it.

''꧋*ꦣꦺꦮꦣꦺꦮꦶꦤꦤ꧀ꦄꦒꦸꦁ꧈ꦍꦂꦄꦏꦤ꧀ꦠꦸꦤ꧀ꦝꦸꦏ꧀ꦥꦣꦱꦼꦱꦸꦮꦠꦸꦪꦁꦩꦼꦔꦥꦸꦁꦣꦶꦄꦠꦱ꧀ꦚ''

''Great gods, water will be subject to something floating on it''

Then he removed the spell he had carved.
