Wijaya has been back to his body after his soul flew taking his promise to Kusuma. Actually he could send the message directly to Kusuma without went himself but if he went directly it would disturb Kusuma's energy. He didn't want his presence harm his valuable friend. If someone sent the energy through the wave of an air, it will attack the energy of the other, but if someone goes through to the place by their soul it will not disturb the energy of other. It is because the soul will interact to the soul while the energy will interact to the energy also. Even the soul is also the energy form, but their effect and intensity are different therefore caused different behavior.

"You have been back...it is a relief" the old hermit said to Wijaya knowing his arrival.

"I have many question to be asking to you. Is it the right time if I ask now or I have another chance?" Wijaya asked him curiously.

"We have plenty time, cause you need to learn the basic concept to enter the realm. It is not only concern about your physical ability but also your mind ability. So I think we have much time to talk to" the old hermit explained.

"So, you have been knew that I am your granddaughter friend for all this long time? Do you watching me?" his curiosity increased.

"Of course, she is my granddaughter. I need to take care of her"
"How? How are you taking care of her?"
"I have an ability to come to your world, unnoticed. You will not recognize me when we met each other for the first time"
"So, how do you do that?, Do you mean you can shows your presence in human world? I never heard it"
"It is rarely, you can do that also if you pass your training, but you will face many obstacle"

"I want to know a lot about you, but I don't know what I should ask"

"Relax young man, You will know what you should know in the right time. If you don't know this time just think that you are not responsible for it. It is the fact how this world working."

"You can ask me whenever your soul wanted to ask it, follow your energy. They never disappointing" the old hermit continued his explanation.

"So, what training do you want me to learn?"
"First is making a boundary. A wall. You can practice some meditation in the state someone can not steal your energy. Even your generated energy is powerful, other have their trick to steal it. The worst thing is if they use it without your awareness. I want to prevent it happen. Your energy could become dangerous weapon"

"Is there someone who know my power beside of you?"

"Many of them. They are waiting the right time to act their plan. Your arrival has been waited for a long time. Me and them do the same thing. They have their goal. I am also."

"What do you mean? Do you want to use my power also."

"Actually yes, young man".

Hesitation came across Wijaya's mind. He realized something. In his whole life, he is watched by 'them' including someone in front of him, Kusuma's grandfather...

"You are quite innocent young man. How could you aren't notice your surrounding in many years. You are being watched."

"Why they don't do something to me?"
"Because they are waiting for the right time"
"Who are they?" Wijaya pressing his question.

"They are people who don't want you awake. Its prefer to make you disappear again. It will give them benefit. Nowdays their authority can control human world. They don't want to shift of the control button. They will stop you even you have been awake. Fortunately you are not alone. Something has protected you from many assault without even touching you. You need to give thanks to it"

The old hermit told him about the burden that will be his responsibility. Time has came. He said Wijaya must resolve his promise. The promise that he ever make. The promise that became a debt for him. Something that pulled him to this journey. While listening he still didn't understand with the sentence he heard about something that has protected him.

"What is it, something that protected me?"
"Your inner guard"

"I have an inner guard?" Wijaya asked suprisingly
"Yes, I think it is time for you to know them better, so you can use them under your control"

"And the promise?"
"You will met your promise yourself. Don't ask me about it right now, I have no permission to give you any sentence about it"
"Why? Who forbid you to tell me?"
"Your inner guard"
"Why?"
"It is their duty. They are programed to fullfil their duty. Bringing you to meet your promise yourself. I only know that you make those promise to save people, avoiding harmful act."

"Old man, what else do you know about me?, it seem like you will reveal all of my secret which I myself don't know about it"

"It has been a public secret, young man, your presence. In Siluman realm nothing become secret except you have a knowledge to protect it. Soon you'll know who you are when you successfully enter Siluman world".

"I am waiting for those time coming"

"Enough for discussing, I will give you basic technique to control your energy. Are you ready?" Wijaya nod.

"First, don't push your energy forward. Loose but grab it. Spread but tight it. Your energy is like a wild animal. They can bite other uncontrolled. Those kind of energy will make our world unbalance. Some hermit are working to balance them. So exhausted. Espesially if the energy come from someone like you".

Wijaya heard the old hermit lesson. He tried to understand and practicing it. It easy for him. It is like he has been knew the technique by himself in the past. Unnotice old hermit play Wijaya's energy, trying to fix the balance of his energy so knowledge came to Wijaya easily. He knew that he would not had difficulty giving him lesson.

Put all his effort to make Wijaya understand, he gave all Wijaya need to enter the Siluman world. Until the day he has been sure that everything he need to deliver has been fullfil, he give his last word to spell to show the gate entrance to the Siluman realm.

The old hermit started the word:

"aku sejatining wang wung dumung
  ambabar kesejatian ingsun
  welas-welasing margi awedar
  ambabar kahanan jati"

Wijaya tried to follow the word. With the eyes closed, he felt energy waving around his sat.
