The Story of Kelana Sakti - North Sumatra

King Indra Sakti was Seriously Ill

However, bad news has happened, King Indra Sakti is seriously ill. The pain suffered by Raja Indra Sakti was classified as a very severe disease and difficult to cure. Several physicians from all over the country and even from across the country were brought in to cure his illness. However, the condition of King Indra Sakti was getting worse and worse. The Empress and her son became increasingly anxious about the King's condition. They could not bear to see the condition of the king who was limp and helpless on the bed. The king's face looked pale, the day his body was getting thinner, his gaze was wistful, the king was sometimes even unconscious.

The king finally wanted to say something to his empress. He has a hunch.

With a weak and hoarse voice, the king said to his queen, “My wife, it seems that my age will not be long. You try to call Commander Badau to meet me. "

"Alright my husband, I will call him," said the empress with a very sad face.

Not long after, Commander Badau came to the king's room.

"Your majesty, what are you doing calling me?" asked the Commander of Badau.

"I think my age will not be long. My body is getting weaker day by day. I leave the reins of government on your shoulders. Lead this kingdom justly and wisely. Take care of this country with all your heart. Protect my people from the threat of harm. I entrust my son to you. When he is an adult, crown him to be a king, as my successor,” the king sent a message to the commander Badau.

"Allright your majesty, I will carry out your orders!" said Panglima Badau, saluting.

Commander Badau who is proud to be King

Finally the king died. All the people felt a deep sadness because a king who was full of charisma left them. They are not sure whether this kingdom can be properly maintained after the death of King Indra Sakti. Raja Indra Sakti was not directly replaced by his son, because his son was still a child. Finally, the reign of King Indra Sakti was held by a royal commander named Badau. Commander Badau was known as an arrogant person.

During the reign of Commander Badau, there was chaos in the land of the Purnama Kingdom. Commander Badau did not manage the government properly. He likes to spend time with his comrades. State money also runs out quickly. Not only is he living in a lavish life, Commander Badau also likes to get drunk. The people are suffering more and more every day. They live in anxiety. Poverty and hunger hit Purnama's country.

The people really miss the reign of King Indra Sakti. King Indra Sakti is famous for his generosity and concern for the people. In addition, Raja Indra Sakti guarantees security and prosperity for each of his people, very different from the leadership of Commander Badau.

People Live Suffer

Under the rule of Commander Badau, the people lived in great misery. Commander Badau's extravagant attitude ended up costing the palace money. Finally, Commander Badau ordered his men to collect very high taxes on the people. Seeing the actions of Commander Badau that could no longer be tolerated, the people became miserable and suffering. Their hearts were screaming to want to return to the reign of King Indra Sakti. Not only collecting high taxes, sometimes the people's crops were also forcibly confiscated by the palace soldiers, in order to fulfill the extravagant desires of a Badau Commander.

People live in fear. Their crops were stolen. The market is deserted, because traders are afraid that their merchandise will be stolen. As a result, the kingdom's economy began to deteriorate. Many people were tortured and imprisoned for opposing Panglima Badau's decision.

Not only among the people, but also among the royal family members were also afraid of the attitude of Commander Badau. They opposed Commander Badau's attitude, but they were afraid because they were threatened with imprisonment, torture, and even death.

Wandering Old Man Arrested by Royal Soldiers

Somewhere in the territory of the Purnama Kingdom, there lived a family of farmers who worked diligently. The family consists of father, mother, and a teenager named Kelana. Wanderer was known as a kind child. Apart from being kindhearted, Kelana is also diligent in working to help his parents in the fields.

Once upon a time, the Kelana family was sitting on the porch of the house. They took a break to unwind because they had been working all day in the fields. However, not long after, several dozen soldiers came to his house.

"Hand over your treasure!" snapped a soldier at the Kelana’s family, pointing a sharp spear.

Kelana and his father did not immediately give up their belongings. While facing the pressure from the palace soldiers who were sent by the Commander of Badau, they tried to defend the family property. However, they lost in terms of strength. Kelana and his father were showered with repeated kicks and punches by the soldiers. Seeing this incident, Kelana's mother tried to separate them.

"Please, don't torture us. Take all of our belongings, I am sincere as long as you don't torture my husband and my son,” said Kelana's mother, pitying her.

"You have been trying to fight us, in return we will bring you to the palace!" said one of the soldiers.

Finally, Kelana's mother and his father were dragged away to the palace. Kelana tried to pull her parents out of the grip of the Panglima Badau soldiers.

"Don't take my parents ..., Dad ... Mom ... hold on to my hands ..." cried Kelana, holding his parents. Kelana was not willing if his parents were dragged away by the palace soldiers.

However, the palace soldiers grew more and more annoyed. They finally hit Kelana until she couldn't move. Kelana passed out and finally lay on the ground. His parents were forced to enter the palace.

Not long ago, Kelana had regained consciousness. Kelana was surprised to see the circumstances around him. He has been in a strange place.

"Dad... Mom ...," Kelana tried to call his father and his mother.

However, it was not his parents who approached Kelana, but a kind-hearted old man. It was the old man who helped Kelana. He's been trying to treat Kelana until now.

“Both of your parents have been taken by the palace soldiers, my grandson. You stay here for a while, "said the old man.

Wandering to Learn Martial Arts

Finally, Kelana stayed with the old man who had helped him. At the old man's place, Kelana was taught martial arts, medicine, and the arts of war. Not long after, Kelana was able to master martial arts, medicine and the arts of war from the old man. Kelana turns into a young man who is powerful, but loves peace.

Kelana Sakti

As the days passed, Kelana Sakti was still thinking about the fate of the people who were afflicted by the unjust ruler named Badau. Moreover, Kelana still remembers the departure of his parents who were forcibly taken by the palace soldiers. Finally, Kelana gathered young people and people who were still strong to unite to defeat the strength of Commander Badau. The people were taught martial arts and martial arts by Kelana Sakti. Until finally, Kelana and his followers were able to attack the palace controlled by Commander Badau. Kelana and his followers were so strong and tough that they could defeat the warriors and rulers of Badau itself. Kelana was able to free his father and his mother who were imprisoned by Commander Badau. His father and his mother were very proud of Kelana's knighthood. Because Kelana can save the land from the clutches of evil rulers.

According to North Sumatera folklore, The people rejoiced at the victory achieved by Kelana Sakti and his troops. The royal family is also happy with Kelana Sakti's presence in eradicating evil. Finally Kelana Sakti was appointed king. Kelana Sakti led the kingdom wisely and wisely. Until finally, the power of government was handed back to the son of King Indra Sakti who had grown up. However, Kelana Sakti is still considered a hero of the country and his name is still remembered by all the people of the Purnama Kingdom.
