Episode 014: Dunia Atas Bumi Dan Dunia Bawah

Deep beneath the shimmering surface, where the ocean's light barely touched, lay the magnificent kingdom of Pertiwi, a realm of profound beauty and ancient wisdom. It was here, from the distant Upper World, that two messengers arrived, their mission shrouded in cosmic importance.

Mak Ompong and Rukeling Poba gazed in awe at the splendid underwater palace of Pertiwi. Its coral spires reached towards the dappled light filtering from above, a stark contrast to their own world. They had journeyed far, entrusted with a vital message from Sang Datu Patoto'e, a task of immense cosmic significance.

They approached Sinau Toja and Guru Resellect, who awaited them with solemn expressions. "We have arrived at the behest of Sang Datu Patoto'e," Rukeling Poba stated, his voice resonating with authority. "Before the full moon illuminates the sky, he wishes to convene a crucial deliberation concerning the delicate balance of Earth."

Sinau Toja, a figure of profound wisdom, regarded them intently. "However, I fear Patoto'e might dominate Earth unjustly, disrupting the harmony we protect."

Guru Resellect added, "Prudence dictates our actions. Without humanity, our collective power would ultimately prove futile." Rukeling Poba then elaborated, "The Celestial Realm requires humans as worshippers. Should they cease to exist, what true significance would our sovereignty possess?"

Following their discussion, it was resolved that Rukeling Poba and Mak Ompong would undertake another journey. They were to extend the sacred invitation to the esteemed leaders of the Sari Jawa kingdom.

Upon their arrival at Sari Jawa, Senik Batara and Tahu Bala Uninyi received the summons with profound respect. "We shall certainly participate in this vital deliberation," Senik Batara affirmed, expressing their immense honor.

As the messengers prepared for their return journey, a deep tremor rippled through the Earth, causing the ground to heave. This unsettling vibration served as a potent, undeniable signal: Sang Datu Patoto'e was aware of their presence and growing impatient with any delay.

When the appointed time finally arrived, the full delegation, under Sinau Toja’s leadership, commenced their ascent towards Patoto'e’s celestial palace. Along their arduous path, esteemed leaders from various other realms joined them, swelling their ranks and signifying the widespread importance of this momentous gathering.

As twilight descended, they approached the luminous gates of the Seventh Heaven. However, their progress was abruptly halted by Toaleboring, the formidable commander of the celestial guard. "You may not proceed without explicit authorization!" he declared, his voice echoing with unyielding authority, blocking their path into the sacred realm.

A member of the delegation retorted indignantly, "Who are you to obstruct our passage?" Toaleboring, however, remained resolute. "Regardless of your status, proper protocol and profound respect for the sovereign authority of this realm must be observed," he asserted, his gaze unwavering. The tension was palpable, yet his words underscored an undeniable truth.

Eventually, after a tense standoff, the Pertiwi delegation was reluctantly granted entry. Sinau Toja, seizing the moment, declared, "This is our best chance to unify our strengths!" This pivotal juncture promised new bonds between worlds.

The heavy gates of the Seventh Heaven slowly parted, revealing the celestial expanse beyond. With a shared glance of resolve, Sinau Toja and his delegation stepped forward. They were ready to face Patoto'e and begin crucial deliberations shaping Earth's destiny. A new era of understanding, or perhaps conflict, was about to unfold.
