Synopsis

Rongdaife, a tribal village was constantly engaged in battle with another village, Ching-Khai-bon. The bitter taste of defeat and its consequences fell on the village women of Rongdaife who were taken captive by their stark enemy, Ching-Khai-Bon. The village of Rongdaife village was orphaned without a chief. The prized possession and beloved daughter of Ching-Khai-Bon village, Leinu was struck by a horrendous skin ailment which resulted in her exile from her own village. Like a lonely wounded lioness, Leinu survived in the eerie jungle, deserted from anyone she ever loved.

Meanwhile a soothsayer from Rongdaife had set the drumrolls that if their chief was a woman, then the village would rise to its former glory. While men from Rondaife were on a hunt for their next successor, they could not find anyone worthy except Leinu. As they brought her captive to the village, everyone was taken aback by her appearance. The village elder put forth an offer whereby if they helped to cure her illness, in exchange she must give her word to become their ruler. Leinu not only cured her ailment but she also diminished the long standing enmity between the two villages.
