In a remote village located on the shoreline of Pulau Laut, lived a married couple. The husband was named Ning Mundul. He was usually called Datu Ning Mundul despite his young age. In those
days, the title Datu was a call of honor to a man deemed to have mastered considerable knowledgeable, both religious knowledge and supernatural powers. Ning Mundul was very down to earth. Despite his young age, he was very much respected in her village as the villagers knew he had incredible abilities. That was why people called him Datu. Ning Mundul had lived for a long time in that village, but nobody knew about his parents, because since he was a teenager, Ning Mundul was used to live independently, without depending himself on others.
