As for the legend is accompanied by ornament ornament which has the shape and likeness as mentioned in the story, it's good I tell a little about master tapa and daughter of dragon.
In ancient times, in South Aceh lived a pair of dragons, this pair of dragons had a daughter called the dragon princess or the youngest daughter. this beautiful princess, this beautiful princess, according to the story obtained from the sea off when a devastating storm drowned a ship from mainland chinese

it is said that at the time, a pair of dragons were down a sea of ​​waves. The dragon's drone suddenly stopped, stunned by a black spot in the middle of the sea. the black dot attracted his attention. long time the black dot is getting closer to the dragon due to the sea water. because the black dots are drawing closer, the dragon sees the fragments of wood from a ship and between the woods there is a tiny baby stuck on a floating wood.
Indeed at that time it is often seen the entry of ships - merchant ships from foreign countries to the South Aceh region to buy spices that thrive in the area. According to the story, patchouli, cloves and nutmeg is the most abundant commodity in the mainland of South Aceh, so the water traffic in the area is quite crowded
Until one day, the youngest daughter determined to leave the residence of his foster parents. The intention to escape was so well designed that the two intelligent dragons did not know. Day after day passed, the beautiful youngest daughter was more obedient to the dragon's rules. This makes a pair of dragons believe and believe that the princess will not abandon them. Therefore, it is often seen a pair of dragons go across the ocean and leave the Youngest Princess alone in their cave residence.

Youngest daughter is not a foolish girl. Although often left alone so the opportunity to go open, but in order to maintain the dragon's confidence in him, he let the situation take place. In fact, one day there was the sight of a ship that drove rather close to his residence. In his heart felt very excited when seen by him men dressed neatly stand the ship. At that time with bold, Youngest daughter began to often appear self-cycled cave to his presence there to the attention of every passing ship.

Until when, when a pair of dragons say goodbye to go a little longer, so have to leave the princess alone is prayed. Youngest daughter is very excited because in that period, the plan to escape will be done. Thus, after tens of kilometers of dragons passed, there was a sailing ship and happened to have witnessed the beauty of the princess and the skipper of the ship was soon leaning near the island and then bringing Youngest Princess sail. Usually, every ship does not dare to get close to the island because it often blows strong winds and often makes the crew of the ship is very inconvenient to keep from drowning. This is caused by the dragons who do not want their place approached.

After the Princess sailed, elsewhere, the female Dragon felt her heart uncomfortable so decided to return to their residence. But how confused the two dragons because the existence of the youngest daughter is not visible. All the corners of the island they are meruri but the Youngest Princess is gone. The female dragon is very sad while the male dragon is angry.

Finally it was decided to search for the Youngest Princess abandoned. Their targets are passing ships. The coincidence of the ocean visible a black dot that drove close to a large island. Soon the two dragons chased him. After lurking, they see the Youngest Princess being there. Both dragons were furious, thinking their daughter was abducted by a human being so that the ship and all the passengers became threatened. Frightened, all the passengers shouted. The wind brought their cries to a cave called Goa Kalam. Inside is an old man who is imprisoned. (There is no clear explanation of who the real name of this character is-red). This old man is called Tuan Tapa. The master who heard the screams and the screams of fear felt uneasy. Then, Master tapa took his wand and out of the cave. With his supernatural powers, Mr. Tapa saw clearly in the midst of the sea there was a fight between a pair of dragons and the ship's passengers.

Without waiting, Mr. Tapa then changed his size to be big. (according to the story, the sea in the Tapaktuan area is limited to the waist-ed). After that, Mr. Tapa broke the unbalanced fight. But a pair of dragons who have been crazy turned to attack Mr. Tapa. Because there was a big wave due to the movement of a pair of dragons, the ship was thrown away. The fight between a pair of dragons and Tuan Tapa was exciting. The dragon's two bodies spit fire from their mouths while their tails and claws do not miss strikes. Thus, thanks to the power of Tuan Tapa, all the attacks of a pair of dragons are muted.

As a result of the fight, large island in the middle of the sea was destroyed and separated into 99 pieces (hereinafter called Pulau Banyak, the island is in the district of Aceh Singkil)

Until at one point, the Staff of Tuan Tapa succeeded in affecting the male dragon's body so that it was destroyed. The blood radiated out, mostly scattered to the coastal areas and frozen (Furthermore, the place where the dragon's blood was spilled is called Desa Batu Sirah or Batee Mirah). While the heart and heart are also exposed to the coast (this area is called the village of Batu Itam or Batu blackened-ed). The male Dragon died with the body destroyed.

Seeing her mate die, the females frightened her then escaped. In order to avoid death, the panicked female dragon ran aimlessly and crashed into another island and broke into two islands (hereinafter called Pulau Dua, located in the sea region of Bakongan Timur district of South Aceh district).

Meanwhile, the result of a battle between a pair of Dragons and Tapa Tapa, still leaves a mark of a stick. Once restored, the Staff, believed to be Tuan Tapa's wand.

Then, How is the Princess's fate? according to the story, the Princess finally returned to normal life like a human and live happily with both parents on the land of China.

And this Lagenda has been reinforced with some evidence that has been left by Mr. Tapa in the form of sticks and hat that is in the middle of the sea Tapaktuan and can only be viewed from a mountain called Mount Lampu before the tide has receded. Then a footprint and a tomb of Tuan Tapa is large.
