    Ajisaka

    (The Legend from Java Island, Indonesia)

    Once upon a time, there was a young man named Ajisaka. He had two followers, Dora and Sembada.
    They sailed from their country named Hindustan and went to the south. Ajisaka had heard about a
    beautiful and rich island named Jawa Dwipa. He was so interested in this island.

    Unfortunately, the weather was bad. There was also a storm and their boat was crashed. After a few
    months was floating in the sea, their boat finally arrived on an island namely Majeti Island.

    They took a rest and repaired the crashed boat. The boat was finally ready. They meant to go away.
    Unfortunately, Sembada was sick, so he was left on the island.

    When they started their journey, Ajisaka told something to Sembada something, without Dora’ s
    knowing, Ajisaka gave him a magic dagger.

    “Sembada, please bring this dagger to protect yourself. When I arrive in Jawa Dwipa, I will be back here
    to pick you up. Remember, don’ t give this dagger to anybody, except me,” said Ajisaka.

    “Yes, master. I will remember that,” replied Sembada.

    After that, Ajisaka and Dora left Majeti island. The boat docked at Jawa Dwipa island. After got off from
    the island, Ajisaka and Dora visited a house, owned by an old widow.

    The old widow was called Nyai Sengkeran by Ajisaka. Ajisaka helped Nyai Sengkeran worked in her
    ricefield. Ajisaka was a good and well-mannered man. All of the villagers liked him.

    “It is a nice village. I liked living here. And, the villagers are so friendly,” Ajisaka said to one of the
    villagers.

    “Yes, it is. But the villagers always feel afraid and worried,” replied the villagers.

    “Why do they feel afraid?” asked Ajisaka.

    “Well, the King of Medang is very cruel. He always asks for the villager to be his meal. It is very scary.
    We always worry about waiting our turn to be his meal,” said the villager sadly.

    “He’ s a cruel King, this is terrible,” said Ajisaka. “I have an idea! I want to meet King Dewata Cengkar
    and become his follower,”

    One day, several commanders of the Medang Kingdom visited Sengkeran village. The villagers felt so
    afraid since there would be a villager who became Prabu Dewata Cengkar’ s meal. Ajisaka comforted the
    villagers. He instructed all the villagers to stay at Nyai Sengkeran’ s house.

    When the commanders saw Ajisaka, they arrested Ajisaka and bring him to the palace.

    Let me tell you one thing, that not a lot of people know. Ajisaka has great supernatural power.
    Prabu Dewata Cengkar was a giant. His body was huge and scary. His face was ugly. But Ajisaka didn’ t
    feel afraid at all. When Prabu Dewata Cengkar asked Ajisaka to be his meal, Ajisaka proposed a
    requirement.

    “before you eat me, can I ask one thing?” asked Ajisaka.

    “what do you want? just say it!!!” scolded Dewata Cengkar. His voice was like a clap of thunder.

    “I just want to ask for a piece of land as wide as my turban!!” Ajisaka showed his turban.

    But there was a miracle. When the turban was pulled, it seemed longer and longer. Prabu Dewata
    Cengkar kept going back to pull Ajisaka’ s turban. Until...

    Byurrr... Prabu Dewata Cengkar fell into the really sheer sea. After that, Dewata Cengkar transformed
    himself into a white crocodile.

    After a battle between Ajisaka and Dewata Cengkar, the citizen of Medang Kingdom admired Ajisaka as
    their hero, Ajisaka even was crowned as the new King of Medang Kingdom.

    Unfortunately, he had no weapon. As a King, he must have a weapon. He remembered about the dagger
    in Majeti island. He instructed Dora to take the dagger.

    Dora went to Majeti island and asked Sembada for the dagger. But Sembada refused it because Ajisaka
    told him not to give the dagger to anyone except Ajisaka himself.

    They argued their opinion. Both of them were right because both carried on what their leader said.
    Finally, they fought to defend their opinion. Both of them were powerful. They killed each other.

    Meanwhile, Ajisaka felt that there was something bad happened. He finally went to Majeti island and He
    shocked.

    "SEMBADA!!! DORA!!! WHERE ARE U??"

    "Ohh, God... Sembada... Dora wakes up!!!" Ajisaka saw both of his followers were dead.

    "I'm so sorry... It's all because of this dagger. I'm sorry... I don't mean to kill both of you."

    He regretted what happened. To give honor to Dora and Sembada, he carved Javanese letters in a stone.
    The letters are :

    ha na ca ra ka : (means) There were two messengers.

    da ta sa wa la :(means) They fought

    pa dha ja ya nya : (means) Both of them were strong/Powerful

    ma ga ba tha nga : (means) They were dead
