18 GRANDMOTHER NINDYA

There is a natural lake on the slopes of Mount Luwa. The lake is very vast and has white sand beaches. Its position is about 1,200 meters above sea level. Local residents call it Sharang Lake. Given the place is so cold with temperatures between 18-25 degrees Celsius, its natural conditions are very suitable to be used as a vacation spot or travelling or even a magic school.

Sharang Lake is located about 16 km from the western part of the magical city of Magetan. The Sharang Lake also has an area of around 30 hectares and for the lake has a depth of about 28 meters.

There are three large castle building located around the Sharang Lake. The west castle that is belongs to the royal family, the east castle that belongs to one of great noble's family, The Titan Clan and the Mystical Pavilion belongs to the riches merchant in Magical Kingdom of Magelang.

Duchess Nindya was still immersed in the silence of her meditation when the morning sun was still ashamed to greet the world. Her beautiful white hair fluttered in the morning breeze. And so did her white robe, just like a flag. She is floating in the mid air, two meter above water level. The cold air is still frosting the body. The fog is still squeezing the land intimately. And the whispers of the morning fairies still temp peoples to pull their blanket on "Enjoy, this cold morning more and more in your dream land..."

She is around 80 years old, but her high discipline manner in practicing mage art and her serenity if makes her look youthful. She looks only half his true age.

The duchess has long dissolve in meditation. Her fingers are forming a mudra. Her breath is soft and slow.

But suddenly her crown chakra is shocking softly. Followed by her ajna chakra, seconds later. Her serenity slightly melted when a whisper was present in his mind. "You had a new descendants... raise her ... there will be riots ... will appear... do not let it burn ... your family"

Nindya awoken from her meditation with great shocked. Her body are all wet flooded by her sweat. She got heavy breathing. With the remains of herself, she walks above the water level to the reach edge of the lake.

"What will happen? What's going on?"

She doesn't fully understand what's why and what happened. But deep inside her heart, she already grasp the meanings behind those mystical messages, she only could not accept the consequences of the reality that will happened.

To calm the typhoon which is storming her heart, she decides to leave her hermitage and pay a visit into ancestral tomb. She feels so calm there.

Thirty minutes later, Nindya is standing in front of a tomb which is had been carved the vajya script on the tombstone that reads `Peerless Ferlon, Supreme Protector of the Kingdom of Magelang. `

"Your less filial daughter came back to visit you." She watered the gravestone with a sad face. "There are so many things I want to tell you ..." She said while sowing flowers to the gravestone. Then she smile. She closed her eyes try to reconciling with the surrounding. Ferlon face's seems performed in her imagination, warmly smile at her.

Her calmness is a little disturbed, when suddenly she felt a magical fluctuation spot not far from her.

Zriing...

That small fluctuation magical wave spread up and then transform into magical circle formed with blue lights carved with countless sigils. From the centre of magical circle, few shadow appears and slowly forming human body.

Three human bodies come out from the circle

"Mother, I'm visiting you..."

"Mother Nindya..."

"Grandmother Nindya..."

"Oh may, is that you, my rebellious child? Where have you been, son? "

Duchess Nindya turns her head over to see whose coming. But the sight before her eyes really surprised her.

"Oh may... is that you Meyrlion? What happened to you? You are now looks so..... childish."

Cough... "I mean you look so young. And who are they, why I feel some familiar vibe from them?" Her eyes widened while her hands closed his mouth. But she chuckles moments later.

Meyrlion face turns pouting when he hears his mother response, call him 'childish'.

"A lot of things happened, mother"

"Tell me what's going on?"

"There two type news I'll shared over you, mother, good news and bad news. I'll better start with the good news first, right?"

"Come, let's talk in a better place. How about our garden's gazebo?"

"Before that, I want to introduce you to someone, mother. This is my foster daughter, Tyas.

Come on Tyas, greet your grandmother. "Meyrlion says while stroking Tyas' hair.

"Dear grandmother, your granddaughter greets you. Papa Meyrlion had gave me name Tyas Lalita Titan." Tyas step a foot and then get down on her knees while kissing Nindya's right hand.

"Oh my, what a beautiful child you are. Looks... looks how pretty you are... Come here child; let your granny hug you." Nindya was amazed with her appearance. Tyas looks like a female version of Meyrlion, with a bunch heavenly upgrade. Nindya could not take her eyes out of her. She just feels that this girl very resembles her young self, except with the tail.

The tail? What is that? There something happened about the tail. Nindya hold herself to ask. But she could not help to praise her and more. Realizing that she is her foster daughter, she had fallen in love with that child at the first sight. "Finally, I had a grandchild... That rebel son of mine always refuses to marry anyone I choose, what a despicable child."

"I love you granny..."

"Love you too, child..." while put a step and hugging her.

"Mother, don't you seem a bit surprised?" Meyrlion asks and raises his eyebrows.

"No way. Unlike you, this morning I received some mystical message while I'm on meditation. Looks like from one of your ancestor ..."

"What??? Why do I felt I am the only one left behind by our ancestor? Even this lazy Jack has also met them... Come on Jack, introduce yourself. Mother this is my soul brother, Jack."

Jack laugh and introduce himself "Mother, your foster son salute with full of love. I'm neither royal nor nobles, but please forgive my rudeness. I am Jaka Nagara and everyone call me Jack." He cupping both of his palm in front on his nose solemnly and half bent. His way of greetings leaves a dept impression in Nindya heart.

"My son's soul brother is my son too. Well, you are the only one tough. "Nindya nods and laugh."Tell me why both of you Tyas and Jack has our family magical sacred insignia? I can sense your magical vibes and it is absolutely similar to mine or my rebel son..."

"That's why I complained that I felt like lost child that left behind by our ancestor. Not ever once I have a chance to meet them. Not ever a single mystical message I received. And yet, both of them had do. They even received their blessings too. It is unfair, you know. Do you how jealous I am? "

Everyone laugh.

Granny Nindya clapped her hands, and two little maids come to fulfil her call. "Kyra, Astera, this is my granddaughter, Tyas. She's just come here yet. I want you to take her around our neighbourhood. Show her the beauty of this place. Astera, prepare some food and snack, bring them to gazebo. My Dear Tyas, would you love to play around for a while? Granny has something to talks to your dad"

Tyas nods "Okay Grandma."

"As you wish, elder" Kyra says.

"Consider it done, elder" Astera answers.

Kyra left while holding Tyas's left hand together. "Let's go young miss..." She says while winking to Tyas.
