Origin of Excess
On a volcano located in the middle of an island, which is in the Indian Ocean, an island with a population of more than 100 million people making the island the most populous island on earth. and its geographical location in the ring of fire, causes the island to have many volcanoes and of the many volcanoes that exist, there is 1 volcanoe of them located in the middle of the island which has the most frequent activity.
The name of Mount Merapi, an ancient volcano that is still active today. flashback decades ago, a very strange phenomenon occurred in the past, above the volcano a black cloud was seen that surrounded it, visible whips of lightning that dangled down and grabbed towards the mountain, on the other side the strong wind keeps blowing
From all directions, causing various trees and also houses around the volcano to be destroyed, only what is amazing is that there are no victims, this makes this phenomenon very strange as if everything that happens to the volcano has been controlled.
It will not make the people who live and live in it suffer, and the lightning whip becomes thicker and makes thunderous explosions accompanied by raging winds, at that instant heavy rain drenches the volcano and the surrounding area, making the atmosphere even more tense and thrilling.
Many residents fled to the village hall, as their attempt to save themselves, along with that chants of prayers were immediately offered to ask for protection from the Almighty Creator. on the other hand in a cave in the middle of the volcano, there was an old man who was 70 years old year.
Who is currently meditating in the cave, he can see his long beard and hair with white mixed with a little black, there are wrinkles around his face but can't show that his skin is still tight, dressed in simple pants with a T-shirt.
The old man was still sitting cross-legged and clasping his hands together and muttering something, the louder the sound of the lightning strike, the louder the old man said as if there was continuity between the man and the current phenomena.
And the time outside seemed to be running fast, now the phenomenon had been going on for almost a day, and at this time when it was three in the morning, a ray of light shine brightly from inside the cave and then the figure of the old man seemed to be bathed in light.
It was a very amazing sight, where the old man's figure slowly but surely changed, starting with his hair becoming whiter, his wrinkles getting more and more, and his skin which was still a little tight now has become more and more sagging, slowly aging is getting faster until at, in the end, the old man had become an old man, however, his mouth was still talking and there was no sign that he would stop.
As his voice grew weaker and his breathing became increasingly labored, the old man who had been determined to continue his speech was now starting to run out of breath, at the last second of his breath later, an even bigger burst of light occurred like the sun but only briefly made the night full of storms. The darkness turned to light in an instant.
And on the other hand, the old man who had changed, now turned back to being gradually young and until his face looked like he was 60 years old, then the old man began to stabilize his breath, on the other hand, it was not long after the old man's change.
There was a light that penetrated from the sky and directly descended into the cave, there was a ray of light resembling the form of a human figure standing in front of the man, there was an aura of glory and splendor from that luminous figure and there was no sign of earthly smudges and no sign of it. the sin that can stick just a little to the figure.
As the light figure which resembled a human, let out a voice that seemed dignified yet comfortable "Wake up" the light figure said, and on the other hand the old man who had become younger, hearing the voice coming from in front of him slowly stopped what he was saying. while catching his breath, as well as controlling himself, his eyes slowly opened.
And what he saw was a figure of light in the form of a human, but could not see his face and the clothes he was wearing, everything was white and looked very holy, "May I know who you are?' asked the old man with a careful expression.
On the other hand, the luminous figure, who heard the question from the old man did not immediately answer but then said "Your prayer has been answered, then the rest is fate that determines, who deserves to bear the glory and responsibility" said the luminous figure to the old man.
Hearing what the luminous figure said, the old man's expression instantly became more relaxed as if he realized something that what he had been planning and doing had finally come to fruition. "So what do my descendants carry?" asked the man
"In this whole world, he will be a decisive figure and also a become that illuminates the darkness, but the path is not easy and only with courage and strong determination, he will be able to survive," said the glowing figure replied.
Realizing that he could not guess what the responsibilities of his descendants would be, the old man just thanked him and then asked if there would be any advantages that his descendants would receive "You don't have to worry about that because basically, he has already been chosen. and has the advantage, that the whole world is in him" said the holy figure.
Hearing this answer, that the advantage he received was that the world was within him, this hinted at something, however, the old man didn't have much time to think about what the luminous figure meant, because then the luminous figure had started to fade.
However, before he left the figure again gave a hint to the man, "Tomorrow when the fateful time arrives, the whole world will be swept away and various trials will come, only those who are chosen in the end will survive, and it cannot be separated from the virtues that exist in the world. every one of their hearts, so remember and tell them that only by seeing the truth can they survive" shortly after giving the final clue the figure had completely disappeared.
And on the other hand, the old man contemplated and clearly remembered every word said by that figure, but then the old man realized one thing that now his descendants have been destined and the rest he as a parent is, tasked with guiding and preparing whoever is destined to be, to be the chosen one.
