Once upon a time, there
was a beautiful princess named Kadita. Because of her beauty
she was called Dewi Srengenge. It means The goddess
of sun. Her father was King Munding Wangi. Although he had a beautiful daughter, he was unhappy because he
always expected to have a son.
The King decided to marry
Dewi Mutiara. He had a son from her. Dewi Mutiara wanted
her son to become a king in the future. She asked
the King to send his daughter away. The King did not agree.
Dewi Mutiara called a
black wizard to curse Kadita. She wanted Kadita's beautiful body
full of ulcer. Then, Kadita's body was full of ulcer. It smelled bad.
The beautiful princess cried.
The King was very sad. No one could cure his
daughter's illness. The King did not
want her daughter to be a rumour so he sent his daughter away. The poor princess did not know where to go. However,
she had a noble heart. She did not have any bad feeling
about her step mother. She walked for almost
seven days and seven nights. Then, she came to the South Ocean. The
ocean was so clean and clear. She jumped into the water and swam.
Suddenly, there was a miracle. The ocean water cured
her illness. She became more beautiful than before. She
also had a power to command the whole
South Ocean. She became a fairy called Nyi Roro Kidul or The Queen of South Ocean.
