Kesatria Batang Hitam

Kesatria Batang Hitam Malam itu... bulan tidak bersinar. Angin berhenti berhembus. Dan dari ujung jalan... terdengar suara... Tok... Tok... Tok... Konon katanya... dia telah kembali. Kesatria... Batang Hitam.. Jubah hitam menyapu tanah kaki penuh lumpur Wajah tersembunyi di balik kabut yang turun Di sebelah situ nya sebuah batang hitam panjang... gelap... mengerikan... Dan sangat... ...biasa. Para warga menutup pintu Anak-anak bersembunyi Anjing menggonggong tanpa henti Kucing pun pergi Dia berjalan perlahan melewati rumah tua Berhenti di depan jendela... Menatap ke dalam... "Permisi..." "Ada kamar mandi?" KESATRIA BATANG HITAM! Penguasa malam kelam! KESATRIA BATANG HITAM! Muncul dari bayang-bayang! Dengan jubah hitam! Dengan tatapan tajam! Dengan batang hitam diangkat ke udara! Jam menunjukkan pukul dua. Lampu rumah mati. Aku melihat bayangannya di balik tirai. Tinggi sekali... Diam sekali... Mengerikan sekali... Aku beranikan diri bertanya. "Siapa kau?" "Aku." "...Kesatria Batang Hitam." "Aku mau numpang ngecas." Katanya dia datang dari dunia kematian... Katanya dia membawa kutukan tujuh generasi... Katanya matanya dapat melihat dosa manusia... Tapi dia takut... Apa? Kecoa. Tunggu! Jangan lari! Aku bukan hantu! Terus kenapa kamu pakai jubah? Biar keren! Terus batang hitam itu? ...ini cuman payung. Tapi ketika hujan turun... ...payungnya bocor. KESATRIA BATANG HITAM! Tak takut pada kematian! KESATRIA BATANG HITAM! Tak mundur dari kegelapan! Namun malam ini... Dia berlari ketakutan... Kenapa? KECOAK! KECOAK! KECOAK! Dan sejak malam itu... "tak seorang pun pernah melihat" "Kesatria Batang Hitam lagi." Hanya batang hitamnya... yang tertinggal... di depan rumah. 🇬🇧 Translated The Black Rod Knight That night... the moon did not shine. The wind had stopped blowing. And from the end of the road... came a sound... Tok... Tok... Tok... They say... he had returned. The Knight... The Black Rod Knight... A black cloak swept across the ground, his feet covered in mud. His face hidden behind the descending mist. Beside him was a black rod, long... dark... terrifying... And very... ...ordinary. The villagers locked their doors. Children hid themselves. Dogs barked endlessly. Even the cats ran away. He walked slowly past the old houses. He stopped in front of a window... staring inside... "Excuse me..." "Is there a bathroom?" THE BLACK ROD KNIGHT! Lord of the dark night! THE BLACK ROD KNIGHT! Emerging from the shadows! With his black cloak! With his piercing gaze! With his black rod raised high into the air! The clock struck two. The house lights were off. I saw his shadow behind the curtain. So tall... So still... So terrifying... I gathered the courage to ask, "Who are you?" "I am." "...the Black Rod Knight." "I just need to charge my phone." They say he came from the world of the dead... They say he carries a curse spanning seven generations... They say his eyes can see the sins of mankind... But there was one thing he was afraid of... What? Cockroaches. Wait! Don't run! I'm not a ghost! Then why are you wearing a cloak? To look cool! And that black rod? ...It's just an umbrella. But when the rain came... ...the umbrella leaked. THE BLACK ROD KNIGHT! Fearless before death! THE BLACK ROD KNIGHT! He never retreats from the darkness! But tonight... He ran in terror... Why? COCKROACHES! COCKROACHES! COCKROACHES! And from that night on... "no one ever saw" "the Black Rod Knight again." Only his black rod... was left behind... in front of the house.
