15 1.15: Deep and Dark Secrets (2/2)
I saw a somewhat glittering pattern on the keris; as if the old man was twisting the blade around in his wrist with the glare of the sun reflecting on it as if the keris had its own apparition. The keris' surface shown as if it was just recently forged with the visibility of its intricate patterns on the surface makes it screams to the owner as if saying, ”Hey hooman, I've already taken a bath, how about you,” I think spending hours writing this novel and proofreading it makes me go bonkers.
Hmm... So back to the story
After the old man had performed the initial cleansing of the keris, he placed it on top of the bowl and dribbled the clear liquid off from the bowl and on sides of the keris from the hilt to the tip. Once he had done so, he placed the keris on the ground alongside the sheath.
He reached out for the incense burner and placed it directly in front of him. He pushed aside the bowl with the clear liquid and took one of the crystalline rock and place it right in the middle of the embers. Suddenly a thick whitish grey smoke emitted from the burning coals.
He took the keris and made some moves within the billowing smoke from the incense burner; moving it a bit as if he was plying the keris in and out of the smoke. He then dropped a few more pieces of the crystalline rocks inside the embers and more smoke came out of it. All four of us cannot help but notice the sweet pungent smell that emanates from the smoke.
Suddenly my Third Eye caught something extraordinary within the smoke above the keris. The smoke was initially billowing upwards when suddenly it took an apparition that resembles like an old bearded man between the rising smoke and the blade.

”Old sage, awaken, are you? Present yourself. Your owner seeks guidance.” said the old man in a low voice, as if he was whispering to the keris and the apparition within to appear before me.
There were Oohs and Aahs from the three brothers as they watched the sudden apparition before them in awe.
” Young man, I am the sage that lives within your keris which happens to be home. This keris was a combination of a yellow metal that is lighter than water and a fang from the legendary Woolf .it was forged using the coals from Mount. the metals were tempered for 7 days, 7 nights, 7 hours and 7 minutes and 7 seconds in according to the people from the Statistics Department.
Sorry, I mean to say from the people of that particular part of Mountain area.
”So that now I had appeared in front of you and was summoned by the old Master, I demand a bucket of Crispy and Spicy 7 pieces of chicken in a bucket from KFC on every Thursday night between 7 in the evening and midnight.”
”Eh...wrong again. Just a piece of Roasted Chicken Whole Thigh weekly on Thursday evening between 7 in the evening and midnight, I also demand a shower just like this, but if you could make it better with maidens at my side then I would be much obligated.”
”Oh yeah. Keep up with my demands and sooner I would be of great service to you.”
With that, the apparition of the old sage disappeared with a poof and ended at the hilt of the keris. ”Hot damn! This sage is like as if I owe my whole life to it, Every Thursday night demand for Roasted Chicken Thigh while I had never eaten that for the past few da...err life. What specials does the old sage provide rather than giving food every week and bathing every fortnight?”
Suddenly, the apparition appeared again but this time it stuck out its tongue and swiftly went back to the hilt.
”Your mother lah...!” I exclaimed loudly and this made the brothers start literally laughing their heads off.
