So...Here I give a hint of the future without I hope giving away too much...Also signifying Samtra is soon to be...On her way so won't be giving help anymore.

Leo and Raph knew the only way to get out of the city now was to do what they did back at home and go through the sewers, of course Arhidásah being a well bred Aristocrat was terrified to go into such a filthy place, so Leo and Raph had to drag him in, as disgusting as it was Arhidásah realized that if he wanted to live and be free, he would have to do things he he had been taught not to do as it was clear Chanchalla had done when she befriended these strange turtles, so they made their way through the sludge until they were outside the city and from there they made their way to the Tribe's Camp, Arhidásah also reconized the what he was approaching and he felt fear, he had heard many stories about the Taskara, some whimsical some...Painting a picture of them as very, very malevolent...Once again he knew he had to have faith that he was doing the right thing.

"Ari!" Challa squeaked calling her brother by his nickname "Finally! I missed you so much brother!"

She ran over to him but Ari held up his hands "I'm filthy, I've been in the sewer, I must do the ritual of purification!"

But Challa just laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck anyway "Oh Ari, if you only knew half the things I've done!"

Seven-Scars, Sadaak and Puni came to the Turtles "Seems talking to her brother will keep her occupied for a while..." Seven-Scars said "Come with us, there is something I want to talk to you alone, don't want to alarm her..."

Leo had a feeling Seven-Scars finally wanted to adress the Gibbon Leo had reported leering at Chanchalla.

Seven-Scars told the Turtles that the Gibbon, Chua, that after reporting him, the three of them did some investigating and found out Chua had a nasty habit, he thought it was fun to...Hurt girls, until then he was smart enough to make sure to only target girls outside the tribe so no one ever found out about it, it was within their rights to kill him, but to do that to arelt everyone with the stench of death would have alerted Challa to what he had been doing and Seven-Scars didn't want to do that, so together Seven-Scars, Sadaak and Puni tatooed the names of his crimes on his face and banished him, that amounted to a death sentence anyway as no tribe would accept him now that they could see what he had done.

Later that night, after Arhidásah had, had a wash and had been given some new clothes by the Tribesmen, Challa went to sleep and had a dream unlike any she had, had before.

The first thing she noticed was pure white light above her, then she noticed she was laying flat on her back with her arms crossed over her chest, feeling the the clothes she was wearing she seemed to be wearing a simple sleeveless dress made of the most delicate silk...

Then some figure entered the scene, they surrounded her, shadowy figutres, they all seemed to be shaped like humans and in their hands they were holding forks and knives!

That was when Challa realized she was laying on a bed of lettuce and she seemed to be surrounded by a ring of fruits.

All though she had tried to not be affected by learning she was livestock, a food animal it seemed she still had developed some anxiety about the fact, the Turtles themselves were also food animals, though not as common as livestock as wild game of all kinds was seen as a rare delicacy (Also the film Bambi seemed to cause hunting to fall out of favor with most of the American young people, gave them the sentiment that wild animals are pure and innocent children of nature and should be left to live out their lives naturally without inteference from Man,

But really it was mostly a source of black humor for the Turtles mentioned in the context of talking about fights with enemies "He was gonna make turtle soup out of us!"

But as the shadowy figures drew closer and for some reason, Challa felt she could do nothing to move herself off the platter...A familiar face appeared above her! It was Samtra! Seeing Samtra's face and then her fingers, it seemed as though that bright whitness above her was a cloud or fog and Samtra was peeking over the edge. The Tiger Snake seemed perturbed by what she was seeing

"Challa..." Samtra said "...What are you doing?"

And that was when Challa felt rather foolish realizing this was a dream and she could free herself at any time, she sat up and the shadowy humans with their forks and knives instantly vanished.

"It's been a while Samta..." Challa said quietly "...I was was hoping to talk to you one last time..."

"My time of helping you is almost done..." Samtra said as she floated down towards her "...I have done my penance so that I may have a slightly better life..." Samtra sighed while she may not have been overtly wicked in life, she didn't exactly did any good while she was alive either, she was a snob who thought she was better than others because she was a Sunborn unlike Challa who tried to live as the Holy Writings said a Sunborn should live."

"I know it sounds strange..." Challa said "...But in a way...I envy you Samtra..."

"Why?" Samtra asked

"When you are reborn you shall forget the great and terrible truth you have learned, while I still have to live with what I've learned...When we rescue my parents they'll want to know what happened to me, and I don't know how I'll be able to answer them."

"I admit I no longer have any more need to visit your dreams..." Samtra said "...But I noticed what you were dreaming about and I became concerned...I think your heart is trying to send you a message."

"You're right." Challa felt hot tears begin to sting her eyes "Sometimes I wish I could have stayed with the Turtles, I may not be truly free over there, but...I don't know I can ever go back to how I used to be knowing what I know now!"

As the Ewe began to cry, Samtra felt pangs of sympathy, and decided to give her a little hint to help make her pain more bearable.

"The Devah have told me a secret..." Samtra said

Challa looked up from her hands

"Because of the knowladge you have gained, knowladge that will be very important to Dardunah's future...You have become...Too important...You will be excempt from the Eternal Cycle, when your times comes you will...Be taken to another place, some seperate place in the spirit world where you can be contacted whenever the need for your knowladge arises."

Challa froze, knowing what she had learned about the beliefs of Earth, would she be taken to another afterlife for worlds like Earth?

So I wanted to leave it ambiguous also I just had the idea of Challa dreaming of herself being served on a platter
