In the Demon Cave

"This young man has been through so much. Look at his face. Beautiful, but too much trouble. If we have children, they will be his age.

Nyai Rasmi looked peacefully at Jagat lying before her. 

"He's the young man who saved you when we were being chased by the Kediri soldiers, isn't he?"

"Yes, Kakang. He saved me and said I once fed him when he was starving, but I forgot."

"Then he's a boy who knows how to return a favor and vice versa," Sabrang replied.

"You mean revenge?"

Her husband Sabrang Panuluh crouched down beside Jagat's body. "What was he doing in the forest? There must be a reason. There isn't a single person who would want to go into the forbidden forest."

Sabrang said he had seen three Mongolian refugees who had gotten lost in the forbidden forest and fallen victim to Ki Regat's party.
