So I thought I wasn't going to make another chapter until I got The World Guide, on the Dardunah Forum the Creators said we'd be able to purchase the book by August 10th (I was still planning on asking for it for a Christmas Present) but later checking the forum, I say I post byu Fellow Member Endoria asking if it was available for purchase yet anyway this chapter is a brief flashback to a previous time, on the forum when asking if Dardunah had anything similar to Valentine's Day I got a description of two Holidays that celebrate love and also some details on courtship and marriage and it revealed the belief that an unmarried female is seen as unlucky for the family, which contrasts with the claim that on Dardunah things are more egalitarian between the sexes than they were for humans of Medieval Asia because Great Mother and Father were from a Far Future society and thus had more enlightened views on gender.
A day or two after Chanchalla had confessed her feelings to Leonardo and they had come to an understanding that it wouldn't work out, at breakfast, Chanchalla explained somethings about Dardunah views on courtship and marriage.
"For the longest time I never thought I would ever fall in love..." Challa said quietly while eating her corn flakes with the Turtles, Splinter, April and Casey listening intently "...I had always dreaded that I would have to get married because...On Dardunah...Unwed females are seen as unlucky..."
Splinter's face was the most neutrel...April scowled, Casey seemed downright livid, and Leo's three brothers also seemed angry at this, as they had all grown up in 20th Century America they believed it was a should be a girl's right to decide when or even if she married at all, if she decided she never wanted to marry that was her choice. Challa noticed Leo got up from the table and turned around, he seemed very akward to face her in that moment.
"Now..." Challa said as she finished the last of the corn flakes "...Since I grew up in the city of Hanalu and this is more custum for the more traditional rural areas but it is often Tradion for the bride to meet the groom on the day of the wedding."
This seemed to cause the blood to drain from every face except Splinter's Splinter with his age and wisdom just knew that, that was the day things were back in Medieval times.
"Really?" Mikey squeaked imagining himself in the postion of a girl "Like even if the Guy is like...Totally disgusting?!"
Challa nodded and sighed "Marriages are often a political union between families, the people getting married,particurally the Girl often has no say in it..."
Leo felt himself turning very red in the face and had to leave the room, Leo had a very romantic imagination, he often put the Olden Days of Samurai Honor on a pedastel, meeting Usagi and visiting his world certainly didn't dampen that fire...But here he was getting a different side of the story, about how Medieval times could be really rough for anyone who for whatever reason didn't fit in...
So this is just a brief flashback before we begin the adventure in Dardunah
