So in Dardunah while the 'Three Great Races' have their own names the Vajrah, Paksin and Sarpah (In a way it kind of reminds me of The Land Before Time and how the dinosaurs had their own names that described themselves, Long Neck, Three Horns etc etc) Some Jenu in the narrower sense also have their own distinct names Gajah is the name for Elephants and Klin, well you'll find out later in this chapter.

After a while Aneka finally consented to have the Translation Spell be granted to him (Even if ultimatly he agreed because he wanted to know what those strange Turtles were saying in case they were up to no good) Seemed everytime Chanchalla performed the ritual she got better and better at it, and the Wandering Tribe's Sir'Hibasi began to take notice, they knew from the gossip surrounding the family's unfortunate fall from grace and enslavement that before Chanchalla was taken on that fateful boat trip that would lead to her coming to that other world that her magic was known to be very...Eratic and unreliable...Seems that World had a magic of its own that helped her tame her unruly power and come back much more efficiant at magic, in fact the ability at which she was to perform the rituals she had concoccted was already surpassing belief for a Sir'Hibasi so young! Already whispers were going around the camp that her unique talents were due to her unique heritage!

As the Greater Sun Lokaynu began to set after False Dusk, the Wandering Tribe packed up their Wagons and began their journey, Chanchalla's other brother Arhidásah was also in Magar as slavery was still very common in Magar and not slowly waning like in Nilam because of the influence of Neighboring Hathiyar where the Great Gajah Dynasty sought to eliminate slavery for all Janah kind.

It was a cramped ride all four of the Turtles, Chanchalla and Aneka sitting with Seven-Scars in one wagon while someone else did the driving, Seven-Scars was explaining that Arhidásah was deep within the nearest city and it would take some serious stealth to break him out, Mikey was eager to show off his Ninja Skills but Seven-Scars scowled "Not until we can get some disguises for the four of you! You can't just go into town looking the way you do!"

"By the way..." Aneka said "...When are we going to get to my mother? Lord Ayrram's FIRST wife." He put ugly emphisis on 'First' because he never wanted it to be forgotten that he was firstborn and therefore by Darduni Law the Natural Heir, the Turtles were beginning to get the sense that Chanchalla and Aneka didn't really like each other growing up...Knowing what they knew that Chanchalla's mother was the only one Ayrram actually loved they were beginning to get the sense Chanchalla was the favorite child for that reason and that put her at odds with the Firstborn.

Seven-Scars clutched the space between his eyes as his feline ears flattened against his skull "There is no way of putting this gently..." The Black Cat sighed "We have a network of Outcastes who give us the word on the situation..." Seven-Scars said "...I'm afraid your mother and Arhidásah's mother were even more difficult than you were, in fact they were so unruly that the Masters they were sold to...Decided to sell them, to...Klinrah."

Both Chanchalla and Aneka gasped in horror!

"Something about Klinrah?" Mikey asked timidly

"Klinrah is the Island Nation of the Mysterious Klin..." Chanchalla said "...The only Vajrah who can fly..."

"You mean bats?" Don asked

"Call them what you like," Chanchalla said waving her hand "The point is it is a well known fact the Klin see all Non-Klin as potential slaves, and once a slave is in Klinrah, they can never leave again after seeing the secrets of the Klin."

"Oh Mother! Mother!" Aneka cried out in aunguish pulling on his ears.

And despite all the hostility the Turtles couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the Roe, it's got to bee hard to learn that your own mother has been sent to what is essentually 'The Isle of No Return' and they had a feeling they would not even be allowed to attempt a rescue mission just for the two Nasty Elder Wives that's how dangerous the Klin were!

There was a hint of expression on Seven-Scars face that for those two women, the fate was at least partially deserved, the Turtles remembered Challa saying it was the two Elder Wives who were most harsh to her, punishing her for even the smallest of mistakes...

"Do you know anything about this Insane Sir'Hibasi?" Chanchalla asked a bit desperate to change the subject.

"He is actually the First Cousin to Prince Diama Hujan the Prince of the Eastern Principality of Mandalam...He is something the Prince very much wants to keep a secret as he is something of the family embarassement...It is said he is a bit...Touched in the head..."

It was at those phrases, 'Family embarassement' and 'touched in the head' that Challa began to feel her heart racing, How many times had those words been used to describe her? A wave of horrible memories came rushing back, and now she had a terrible feeling, was this Sarpah Villian actually a Kindred Spirit? Did he have the same disability as her? Was she at risk of the same insanity he had?"

Leo quickly noticed something was wrong, Challa's glassy eyes, the way she was clutching at her heart, and she was staring at the floor...With no thought to what anyone might think, he took hold of her hand.

"Hey..." He said softly "...You OK?"

And that brought Challa back to reality, she turned and saw Leo with a concerned expression on his face, his hand, gently squeezing her's she squeezed back, his three large fingers so different from her own, and yet in holding her hand like this he was doing more than her own family had done for her when she was struggling.

"I'm sorry..." Challa said "...A flood of memories came back to me I barely heard anything that was said."

"Challa," Leo said softly "If you need to talk about anything...We're here for you." Leo glanced at Aneka who had his arms folded and was scowling but he realized he was powerless against these much stronger Turtles...

So here Leo no longer feels any shame he might have felt hold him back and help Challa if it seems she needs it
