"Looks like I don't have to bother looking for prey anymore," he said to himself.
As he pulled the samurai from his scabbard and prepared to eat the three deer in front of him, he suddenly felt pity.
"Ah... no! I can't do it! Just let him live!" Zuko said with a sigh.
The mother deer led her two cubs off the cliff when Zuko turned his gaze to a tiger who was still standing still.
His gaze returned when he realized that he was on the edge of a cliff close to the sea and the wilderness.
"Do you want to go on an adventure?" Zuko said to a tiger that looked like it had been tame.
His roar seemed to give an answer to go with Zuko wherever he went, while wagging his tail.
I don't know how far he has walked away from Patih Cakra and the soldiers others, but Zuko wouldn't come back until he brought the food or at least the fruit that was in the forest.
Behind him, the tiger was still following him, sniffing like he was looking for prey.
Zuko paused for a moment to look around to see if there was an animal hiding in that place.
Suddenly, the tiger behind him roared and leapt towards the bushes.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Zuko shouted.
A giant goat with horns came out of the thickets after being nearly pounced on by the tiger.
The tiger continued to roar and jump up and down chasing the wild goat which was almost as big as a stallion.
Zuko sprinted to run quickly after the goat which continued to run towards the soldiers and the patih Cakra was, that was only as far as Zuko remembered based on the direction he walked earlier.
A beam of golden light shot out from his right hand towards the goat, but if it hit, the goat would die or be crushed beyond measure.
He canceled the attack on the goat which he continued to chase with a tame tiger with him.
The grass and shrubs
almost as tall as an adult human
he continued to lunge to get the goat. "Uncle! Watch out!" Zuko shouted from a distance
with a tiger.
Patih Cakra instead of taking the soldiers away, he and the soldiers prepared to catch the goat.
"What!" Patih Cakra was startled and took two steps back when behind the goat was a tiger who had stopped when the prey goat had been caught.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle! He's tame!" said Zuko reassuringly.
The soldiers who were in that place immediately surrounded the goat the size of a stallion standing in the middle of the encirclement without being able runs again.
The tiger continued to roar, but its roaring stopped when Zuko pulled the tiger aside with the soldiers who were waiting for the horses.
"There's a tiger!" shouted one of the horsemen.
"Don't be afraid, Uncle! He is very kind and docile!" Zuko left the tiger beside his white horse.
Some horses neigh because they are very familiar with the characteristics of a tiger which often chases its prey cruelly and includes meat-eating animals.
Several soldiers tried to approach the forest goat, slowly tying the legs and other soldiers holding the other side of the rope.
"BRUUKKKGG ...." the sound of the fall of the goat sounded so loud, the dust of the ground was scattered by the blow of a creature as large as a stallion.
Patih Cakra pulled the samurai from his scabbard, preparing to slaughter the samurai weapons with sharpness.
The soldiers helped hold the goat's body which was so strong and rebelled to escape.
After cleaning and turning on the roasting fire, Zuko and the patih Cakra himself grilled it until it was cooked, while some of the soldiers were still waiting for the horses and some of them ran to find leaves for eating mats.
Ten banana leaves are lined lengthwise on the short grass, and topped with a few pieces of venison that has been cooked from the grill fire.
"Finish your meals and we can continue walking down the valley! Our journey could take until tomorrow morning!" said the governor of Cakra.
"Okay, Mr Patih ..." said all the soldiers in unison.
After eating, Patih Cakra continued walking back to the valley with the soldiers.
While in the middle of the trip, Zuko remembered that Medusa would come and target Freya every full moon arrived.
"I have to quickly finish this and continue my main mission here!" he said in his heart.
Zuko continued his horse so fast his back to Patih Cakra and the other soldiers. Even though he didn't know the existence of the place at all, but at least running on a horse was better.
Patih Cakra drove his horse faster with the soldiers behind him.
Small and winding roads are still passed together. Up mountains and down valleys until you are in a vast and limitless prairie. But the patih Cakra seemed to know the place where the valley of death was, so he took the lead.
The jungle fowl started to make their characteristic sounds in the morning, while their journey took almost a whole day. Maybe it's time for the sun to show itself on the eastern horizon.
"Let's hasten our steps there, because the day is almost turning into morning!" Cakra's patih orders.
"Yes, Uncle!" Zuko replied.
The sun began to appear from the eastern horizon, revealing a tinge of orange which is now starting to brighten the dark sky.
Patih Cakra stopped the horse's movement when he came to a road that was now descending, but not too steep.
"Stay cautious down this valley!" Patih Cakra moved his horse slowly down the valley known as the valley of death.
In the valley of death, too, had to continue the journey again, but it didn't take long to get to the place where the lotus flower was.
From a distance where they stood, they could see some lotus plants in a rock pond with quite a lot of flowers and blooming beautifully.
Zuko stepped towards the pool, but without realizing it, a black figure flashed in front of him and crashed into him.
The creature had strength comparable to his. Zuko slowly took three steps back.
"Master Zuko! Please don't be careless with the creatures that guard this place!" exclaimed the governor Chakra from behind.
A beam of black light came and formed a terrifying, demon-like creature. But many people charged that the creature was a stealth countryman who would kill anyone when they set foot in the valley of death.
"Can we take just one lotus flower?" Zuko asked politely before his anger returned.
But the demons are coming more and more a lot and seems to keep flowers
lotus unpicked.
"Want to take this flower from us? Who are you guys? Kings? Gods? Real warriors?" There was a rumbling sound but it was not clear who was speaking.
Patih Cakra invited all the soldiers to immediately approach Zuko who was alone among the demons.
"We only want one flower! Can we ask for it?" asked the governor of Cakra.
"Give me just one flower, before our patience runs out!" Zuko closed his His eyes held back the anger that was now almost unstoppable.
