Chapter 1: The Hero’s Call to Adventure
Edisi Indonesia: Petualangan Awal Sawerigading
In those days, in Ale Lino—the world of humans filled with life and balance between nature and spirits—lived a young man with divine blood flowing through his veins. Sawerigading, a direct descendant of the rulers of the heavens, was a hero whose destiny had been written since his birth. Behind his strong appearance and brave soul, there lay a deep longing: a yearning for true love and a thirst for an adventure that would take him beyond the boundaries of his world.
Sawerigading was the son of La Sattumpugi, the ruler of Ale Lino, and the grandson of Sang Patotoqe, the supreme god of Botting Langi. His lineage made him more than just an ordinary man; he was the bridge between the gods and humans. Yet, despite the divine blood in his veins, Sawerigading lived with the heart of a human, filled with dreams and inner conflicts that stirred deep within his soul.
From a young age, Sawerigading had heard whispers from the gods, guiding him toward his destined path. But he did not accept the call immediately. He felt bound to his family and his world. He was close to his twin sister, We Tenriabeng, who had the extraordinary ability to foresee the future. She knew that Sawerigading was destined for a grand adventure but also understood the doubt that clouded his heart.
The call to leave Ale Lino came when Sawerigading dreamt of a woman who would not only capture his heart but also be the key to his greater destiny. This woman, We Cudai, lived in a distant kingdom at the edge of the world. The dream stirred something deep within Sawerigading, forcing him to realize that his destiny was not to remain in Ale Lino forever, but to explore the vast seas and find the love he dreamed of—a love that would bring balance between the world of the gods, humans, and the underworld.
With a heavy heart, Sawerigading bid farewell to his family. We Tenriabeng gave him one final prophecy before his departure: "Your journey will be filled with challenges, but behind every obstacle, wisdom and true love await you." Armed with this prophecy, Sawerigading set off, boarding his grand ship, Welenreng, to sail across the vast oceans toward the distant kingdom, embarking on an adventure that would change the fate of the world.
Thus begins the great journey of Sawerigading, an adventure that would take him across endless seas, facing kings, mythical creatures, and even the gods. But beyond all of that, he knew this was a journey of self-discovery—a hero destined to bring peace and love to the world.
