The room or space that Nyi Centil will use to perform the ritual is quite creepy, besides the place is dirty and there is not much lighting.
The light only looks dim from a distance because it is not allowed to put torches in the room area. The torch that is faintly visible is also positioned far in front of the entrance to the room where the ritual is held, so that Nyi Centil can survive like ordinary humans on land.
"Are you ready?"
Nyi Centil who has been sitting on a long rock nodded her head, the rock can be used for meditation and also for lying down.
"Yes Brother."
"If later someone comes to disturb, you just ignore it. It could be a kind of test," said Joyo Kandis.
Nyi Kendis nodded her head again.
"Okay Brother, whatever comes later I will not be tempted so that this ritual is truly successful."
"If so, I will leave this room right now. You start meditating," Nyi Centil nodded her head, Joyo Kandis then left the room.
Nyi Centil sat cross-legged with both hands clasped in front of her chest, looking at the shape of the room as if the air there felt very hot because it was so dry there was not a single bit of grass let alone plants growing.
Whereas in other rooms various kinds of plants could grow well, especially those that were deliberately planted such as flowers of various types. Strangely the room actually felt cooler than the other rooms.
Meanwhile Joyo Kandis who had left the room where Nyi Centil's ritual was held, seemed to be heading to his private room. He also sat cross-legged while muttering as if helping the ritual process carried out by Nyi Centil in a different room, they did it for 3 days and 3 nights in a row without eating and drinking.
The fourth day after performing the ritual, the palace of the Underground Kingdom looked lively. All the inhabitants of the palace seemed happy, because at that time their king Joyo Kandis was holding his wedding with Nyi Centil.
The same thing was also seen in the secret rooms in the palace, where the genies and ghosts, Joyo Kandis' friends, also joined in the party.
"Now we are married, dear. Our initial goal and plan have been realized,” said Nyi Centil.
Joyo Kandis smiled happily.
“That’s right, honey, now what’s our next plan?”
Nyi Centil seemed to think for a while, then asked back.
“As we discussed during our previous meeting, does Brother Joyo still want to rule this island of Java?”
Joyo Kandis nodded.
“Of course.”
“Well, if we want to make that happen, we have to be able to take the sacred gemstone that is in the southern sea. That gemstone can make us immune to all kinds of heirloom weapons, as well as attacks from the mystic arts possessed by our opponents.”
Joyo Kandis, who was not sure that he would be able to enter the palace of the Kingdom of the Queen of the South Coast or Nyi Roro Kidul, asked again.
“But how can we possibly enter the palace of the Kingdom of the South Coast? Let alone steal the sacred gemstone belonging to the Queen of the South Coast?”
Nyi Kendil showed two pearls that she could use to enter the ocean within 3 full moons.
“Brother, don’t worry, I still have these pearls. We can definitely get to the Kingdom of the Queen of the South Coast.”
Joyo Kandis frowned.
“What is this pearl? And what is its use?”
Nyi Centil explained.
“This pearl belongs to the Queen of the North Coast, which I took when I entered her special room. I am one of her trusted people, so I can enter anywhere in the palace of the Kingdom of the North Coast. This pearl was named by the Queen of the North Coast as the Pearl of Life, anyone from the human race who lives on land who swallows this pearl can survive at the bottom of the ocean for 3 full moons.”
Joyo Kandis nodded his head.
“Is that so? Then how do we enter the palace of the Kingdom of the South Coast? There must be very tight security there, not to mention the Queen of the South Coast who has always been known to be very powerful, will not allow her palace to be infiltrated, let alone steal her sacred gemstone?”
Nyi Centil smiled as if she really understood how to overcome everything Joyo Kandis was worried about.
“Hmmm, Brother, don’t worry. For years without the Queen of the North Coast’s knowledge, I have studied the Penetrating Invisibility spell and the Deceiving the Eyes spell. We can use that spell to see the location of the sacred gem hidden by the Queen of the South Coast, and we can infiltrate the palace without being known by the soldiers or the residents of the South Coast Kingdom’s palace. Except for the Queen of the South Coast, we can’t trick her. That’s why we are waiting for the right moment when the Queen of the South Coast is not in the palace, we enter and steal the sacred gem.”
Joyo Kandis’ cheerful laughter was heard, because he thought that their plan to control the entire island of Java was no longer just a dream but would soon come true after they succeeded in stealing the South Sea Gem.
“Ha.. Ha.. Ha..! My beautiful wife is truly clever, I am very proud to have you. With the South Sea Gem in our hands, we will easily control the entire area of the island of Java.”
Nyi Centil's Penetrating Invisibility Spell is indeed very powerful, the proof is that from the palace of the Underground Kingdom she can see the atmosphere of the South Coast Kingdom from a distance, Nyi Centil will always apply this to monitor when the Queen of the South Coast will travel out of her palace.
******
The awaited day finally arrived when the Queen of the South Coast was heading to a place located far from the palace of the South Coast Kingdom, Nyi Centil and Joyo Kandis immediately headed to the south coast area.
After being on the edge of the beach they then swallowed the pearls in Nyi Centil's hand, quickly they entered the ocean and with the knowledge of lightening their bodies in an instant they were in front of the gate of the palace of the South Coast Kingdom.
