384: Turkish folklore: The Silent Princess

The story of the silent princess and the prince who definitely has been cursed by that strange woman in the street. He totally hasn't just psyched himself out thinking that if he doesn't meet the silent princess, he will die, forcing him and his tutor to go on a 15-month-long, stinky quest. The creature is the Abaia, the eel that loves life so much it kills everybody. Links!
