All right people here we learn who is behind the conspiracy and also we get another little peak into Dardunah to see some characters who will become very important later on.

Upon returning to the lair the Turtles and Splinter noticed April and Casey seemed a bit out of sorts, when asking them, Casey replied trying to remain chipper "We're fine, we're just tired."

But the Turtles knew Casey was normally up late at night doing his vigilante thing so they knew something was up but decided not to push the matter any further tonight.

Then Leo asked Challa how it was for her.

"It was good." Challa said her face bright and beaming "In fact...I feel very happy!"

The Turtles looked at each other, they weren't expecting this reaction.

Challa continued "I felt so many feelings, it's...Difficult to put into words...Perhaps if I sleep and dream it over, I'll be able to better communicate."

"Indeed." Splinter said not sure what else to say, after all they had seen so many strange beings and done so many extraordinary things even Splinter wasn't quite sure how visiting that little chapel could have such a profound experience on Chanchalla who coming from a world of magic must have experienced so many extraordinary things.

So Challa changed into her nightgown and went to bed...In her dreams, things were much different this time, she initially seemed to be floating through a chaotic mass of psychedelic colors, much more garish in hue than normally found in the dream...Then she felt herself floating downwards, and Samtra appeared to her from the colors.

"All right!" She gasped, her scarlet scaled face very pale "All right! You've proven yourself worthy!"

"Samtra!" Chanchalla exclaimed genuinely concerned for her Serpentine Spirit Advisor "What is it? You look like you've seen a Ghost but..." She was about to say something about how ironic or odd that would be given Samtra's current state of being but stopped herself realizing how insensitive such a crack would be...

The Tiger Snake's tongue flickered in and out in irritation "You do realize there was a reason when we were children you had a reputation for being a backsasser..."

Chanchalla held her tongue but couldn't hide her wry smile, she only ever insulted someone if they insulted her first, it was there own fault they bore the brunt of her sharper barbs.

"Anyway..." Samtra said "...What you have done tonight has proven to the Devah you are ready, ready to know who is behind the conspiracy to unleash the Devourer and how you got sent to this world..."

"I was ready last night." Challa said folding her arms.

"The Devah just wanted to make sure." Samtra said "Not many Janah could handle such truths they just wanted to make sure you were ready..." Samtra sighed

"The Mastermind behind the conspiracy was the Prince I had been arranged to be married to," Samtra said "A King Cobra named Srsasan he is only one Prince of the many Visedharah Principalities but he has somehow become convinced he is a blood descendant of Nagamissa and that he is destined to unite the Sarpah and become Lord of all Dardunah..."

Challa's nostrils flared and her ears flickered but she kept quiet

"Your Father made many enemies..." Samtra said summoning a map of Dardunah with little clay figurines shaped like the Janah involved, "By shutting down the operation of the greedy Ocelot Merchant Saiteen he angered someone with connections to the powerful in Sutrum but also he irritated the other Hanalu Lords with talks of reforms they didn't like...So they all conspired your family's fall...Srsasan sent his Sir'hibas a black adder to offer her surfaces to Saiteen offering to curse the Lord who ruined his plans to get as much as he could from the Magar Mine, then she traveled to Hanalu and pretending to only be working for Saiteen she told the other Lords her plan.

"If you were going to marry Srsasan..." Challa said "Why did...Why did they have my Father kill you?"

"Ultimately it was a matter of being in the wrong place at the wrong time..." Samtra sighed "...What the curse entailed was weakening your Father's willpower so his hatred towards Sarpah would overcome him and he would kill the first Sarpah he saw, I just happened to be that Sarpah and in the end it was no scales of his back sure he wanted me but his quest was more important, he soon felt confident he could have all the pretty Sarpah girls in the world soon enough...How you came to this world...That was some intervention on the Devah's part, they put the inspiration in that Chimp's head to try to do the impossible and cross over the edge of the world...In a common water vessel no less! They whispered in his ears he would need an 'unusual' Sir'hibas for the job and gave him a vision of you...And they also whispered in Srsasan's ears that when the boat containing you would be shredded by the great plumes of water at the edge of the world that, that would be a suitable sacrifice to allow his plans to go forth..."

Meanwhile in Dardunah...Somewhere in the cool Southeastern Plains, a group of unusual Janah, unusual in that they were outsiders to typical Dardunah culture, one might call them the equivalent of 'Gypsies' in Dardunah...One of them, a Male Binturong who had the gift of being able to see visions in smoke, was waving his hands and murmuring over an urn-like censer, plumes of sweet scented smoke curled up from it, than the smoke formed an image the audience could see, at first it seemed to be a Turtle Janah then the image revealed the creature had traits that Turtle Janah didn't like teeth, a short, soft snout instead of a hard beak and perhaps most disturbingly this creature had only three fingers on each hand on only two toes on each foot, this strange monstrous turtle seemed to be snarling at the audience he then pulled two swords from off his carapace and seemed to leap forward frightening some of the Janah thinking this vision was actually a real demon and was actually going to attack them.

The Binturong was also very disturbed by the appearance of the creature in his vision but quickly he raised his hand to calm his fellow Tribesmen.

"Don't be alarmed!' He said quickly "I know the creature looks terrifying but..." He tried to think of how to phrase this "He is from another world...A world beyond Dardunah there the Janah are simply...Put together of different way."

Many of the Janah particularly the women looked skeptical

"I know this may be hard to take." The Binturong said "But that strange Turtle...However monstrous he may look he is good...His heart is more pure than many a Priest and he is the one who will be the salvation of Dardunah...He is the one who will save us from the Devourer."

So...I've been told 'Gypsy is a politically incorrect term and you should say 'Roma' instead but I've listened to some Podcasts of people telling stories about how only some of them call themselves Roma and others do want to be called Gypsies also the Shard Book uses the term Gypsy to describe these kinds of Janah so that's the word I'm gonna be using
