Strong winds above Mount Lejar rocked the leaves. The afternoon sun rush was like a gold splash on the horizon. There has stood a man. His beard and hair were long and white. The lines of his face fall shows the age that lived on earth has been long enough. He stood still his eyes gaze far and quiet in solitude.

Then the wind stopped. There was a sound of sticks and rustling.

"you've arrived Lohgawe apparently"
"Yes, Mpu, it seems that a long-held cage will find the time.

Hearing the sentence was the lips of the man who called Mpu was pulled upwards, he smiled faintly. He is Mpu Purwa, a pandita and father of Ken Dedes. Beautiful woman who was kidnapped and forced marriage by Tunggul Ametung, regent of Tumapel.

There will be a young man you meet here. Help him write his history. "Continued Mpu Purwa quietly.

"Is not tanha (craving) a source of calamity?" Lohgawe replied no less calm.

What risks will happen and Lohgawe knows that. After all, he is also a Pandita. His scholarship is unquestionable. If it was not so it was impossible to become a trusted person in Tumapel. Though not vividly expressed, he is not foolish to understand that the wounded soul is still bleeding. Mpu Purwa's anger over Kuwu Tumapel's mighty deeds is still rumbling like magma of Mount Merapi.

The closing sentence is a farewell to Mpu Purwa and Lohgawe. For him it was obviously the brahmin's intention. Then after Mpu Purwa, meet Lohgawe with the young man referred to Mpu Purwa.

"Sorry Uncle, I do not think there's a human on this mountain An old grandmother told me to run here.

He was similarly choked by enemies. His sweaty body glistened in the dazzling orange sun. He is Ken Arok who is being chased by soldiers Tunggul Ametung for considered against and do mischief. But his eyesight is quite sharp enough to imply that he is not just anyone. Lohgawe saw it there; intelligence, passion and cunning.
