There were rumors that this land had rare plants that brought peace to the dead, and that the river was special, with restorative powers that only a few knew how to use. These were known as healers. Khala's half-sister is a healer and only their wrinkled hands could recount the many years they had spent fighting the Chaos Legion.
Khala had mostly lived her life as Khymeria's summoner, but she was more than that. She once loved and married a nobleman who was killed in one of the battles with the Chaos legion. Despite the fact that she and her husband never had their own children, they were foster parents to four extraordinary boys who are now great men of valor.
The silver shield is carried by the SHIELDBEARER, the eldest, whom Khala discovered on the holy ground and has grown into a well-respected Khymian soldier. PELACOR CONJURER is a divine being from Solaki who is extremely intelligent and creative, as well as possessing unrivaled angelic powers. ARMORSMITH, He is a skilled smith who makes silver shields for the Khymian soldiers, including one for his foster brother Shieldbearer, and HERBALIST, the youngest of them all, was one of Khymeria's most sought-after herbalists, and could usually be found in the Azmaré jungles selecting the finest herbs. He is Khala's half-sister, DIVINE HEALER's favorite.
Khala has always been a protective mother, not only to her children but to the entire Khymeria, and she was affectionately known as MOTHER KHALA. Her home welcomed many visitors, particularly the less fortunate. When there was no war, Khala could be found knitting brightly colored clothing, which she wore. She adored colors because it represented happiness to her. Her clothes were often referred to as "cloth of many colors." She would also knit brightly colored clothing for the young ones. She taught her boys proper etiquette and that happiness was free for those who believed in it.
Mother Khala had made enemies in all of this, those who attempted to invade and take over Khymeria. She has defeated them in battle for many years now, dating back to her youth, and they have been looking for ways to avenge their broken pride.
"Mother, oh Mother..."
A voice called out for Khala. SHIELDBEARER, her eldest son, had just returned from protecting the borders of Khymeria against enemy invasion. He searched room after room but couldn't find her. On his way out of the house, he bumped into his foster youngest, HERBALIST. who also had just returned from the jungles of Azmaré.
"Brother, it's lovely to see you again"
HERBALIST says as he warmly hugs SHIELDBEARER.
"Aye brother. But where is mother? today is father's memorial and as always we visit his tomb to pay respect".
SHIELDBEARER seeks from HERBALIST, a voice from behind runs towards SHIELDBEARER and hugs him, raising him above the ground. It was ARMORSMITH, they both embrace warmly.
"dear Brother. Well look at this shield, How’d you sleep?”
ARMORSMITH ask with a chuckle while holding firm his brother's silver shield
"On my back"
responds SHIELDBEARER with a smirk and they both let out a laugh, embracing each other again.
"Hey fruit loops, where's mother?"
ARMORSMITH chuckles, sucks teeth as he turned to ask HERBALIST. He was about to respond when suddenly the atmosphere changed, the clouds gathered and turned dark, asthough a heavy rainstorm. PELACOR CONJURER immediately swoops in, flapping his huge wings;
"Quick Brothers, Mother needs us
The air became filled with the dread of an impending battle, and a loud stomp could be heard all the way across Khymeria. They would face the ultimate consequences if they did not accept the challenge: the death of their mother Khala and the defeat of Khymeria. PELACOR CONJURER motioned for his brothers to help him find their mother. They were determined not to surrender without a fight.
MOTHER KHALA
Mother Khala thought to go ahead of the boys to Khymeve. She desired some alone time before they arrived. Unknown to her, the enemy was lurking right before she crossed the darkest forest, which was the path leading to Khymeve. Khala was walking, taking a few steps at a time, supported by her staff, humming songs and smiling.
It was the enemy-CURSED WINDEKU. It was gaunt, lips tattered and bloodied. The ash-gray color of death, with skin pulled tight over its bones, sunken eyes, and twisted horns. And then there's the smell. Oh my goodness, the smell. Death had come calling. She understood what it meant and realized he wasn't alone. This was an ambush.
MOTHER KHALA a 6-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ well experienced summoner with powerful magic such as the Splinterlands have never seen before. She amplifies warriors fighting alongside with '+1 
Max Health'.
She smiled and stood tall, holding her carved staff, the source of many of her magical abilities. She strikes it three times on the ground and summons her most trusted warriors.
SHIELDBEARER - FIRST LINE
With the might of a rushing wind, SHIELDBEARER drops from the sky with his shield as support causing the ground to vibrate. He is a 6-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ front line warrior who has fought well to protect Khymeria's border. His 'Shield ability 
' works to defend him against Melee and Range attack enemies while he 'Taunts
' them. SHIELDBEARER turns to look at his mother, using his eyes to communicate, checking if she was alright. Khala smiled with a nod.
PELACOR CONJURER - SECOND LINE
Next PELACOR CONJURER arrived. To the oppressed, he appears as an angel of light, but to his enemies, he is an absolute terror. An 8-star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ trained warrior who has demonstrated his prowess. PELACOR CONJURER is highly creative and a powerful support with the amazing ability 'magic reflect
' which does reduced damage back when hit by magic attack enemy. He then 'fly's
' over the enemies with non-flying abilities fiercely attacking them and using his 'divine shield
' he ignore first damage attack from enemy.
DIVINE HEALER - THIRD LINE
A bright light appears and there comes the kind spirited DIVINE HEALER, Khala's half-sister. She was old too, but in battle had the strength of a 100 men. DIVINE HEALER is an 8-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior with the 'Tank heal ability 
' which will help restore the health of SHIELDBEARER each round. She also has the 'slow ability
' which reduced the speed of all enemies, allowing her team attack fiercely, causing damage before the enemy had the chance to react.
ARMORSMITH - FOURTH LINE
ARMORSMITH arrives landing with his Hammer weapon, causing the earth to tremble. An 8-star⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ warrior. His 'repair
' helps fix the team whose armor had taken the most damage from enemy attack. Although his hammer is used more for repair than destruction but when summoned to battle, ARMORSMITH does plenty of damage.
HERBALIST - FIFTH LINE
Finally Herbalist comes rushing through the forest carrying all of his collections, most of which were deadly poison to be used in battle. His 'triage
' is going to help heal the back-line team, whereas his 'cleanse ability
' will remove all negative buffs placed on SHIELDBEARER by enemy.
As they all lined up for battle, a formidable team, they ready their armor. enemy-CURSED WINDEKU slowly took steps backward, as their leader and summoner stepped forward;
"Thaddius Brood"
Khala says through her half toothless mouth, giving a slight grin
"Well hello there "Mother", we meet again😈"
Enemy-THADDIUS BROOD says with a raspy voice full of sarcasm. He then let's out an evil laughter followed with deep grunts.
Enemy-THADDIUS was sent to an asylum by his foster Parents, but he managed to escape, meeting Doctor Blight as a result of his rituals. Thaddius is currently spreading death wherever he can with the Chaos Legion. He came accompanied by, enemy-CURSED WINDEKU in front line, enemy-DARK ASTRONOMER in second, enemy-LIFE SAPPER in third, enemy-DEATH ELEMENTAL in fourth, and enemy-CARRION SHADE in backline.
MOTHER KHALA looked at him, disgusted. What her four sons didn't realize was that Thaddius' brood was in her care long before she adopted them. They loved and trained him to protect and defend Khymeria, but he soon succumbed to the darkness and killed his foster father, Khala's husband.
"Thaddius it is not too late, there is still room for redemption"
Khala says with sympathy in her voice. Enemy-THADDIUS laughs even more,
"Is this your team? in all of Splinterlands, you choose to come at me with an old woman, oh hey "Aunt" and 4 young miserly boys? give up already "Mother" and come with me.
He says mockingly. Then immediately turns giving her an evil look👿,
"I do not need your redemption. your time is up and I have come to drag your old wretched soul to hades."
He sniffs and grunts. On hearing this, Khala's 4 sons with half-sister become enraged and all charge for battle.

FLAWLESS VICTORY. The Enemy is vanquished!
Just as enemy-THADDIUS BROOD sneaks to attack MOTHER KHALA , she spots him and using her staff holds him off
"Don't you even think that my limbs are so weak, nor is my heart so foolish to know that you're no longer my son"
A great light emerged from her staff and cast off enemy-THADDIUS BROOD such that he vanished into thin air. This battle spread throughout the Splinterlands.
All four sons rush towards MOTHER KHALA inquiring if she was alright. As always she gave them a toothless smile. Now with the path cleared, they all walked down towards Khymeve, on their way, HERBALIST asked curiously;
"Why did enemy-THADDIUS BROOD use such a familiar tone when he called you mother?"
KHALA hummed, and their aunt, the DIVINE HEALER, told them all about enemy-THADDIUS BROOD.
They all pay their respects to their father when they arrived at his tomb. Holding hands, the four sons vow never to succumb to the dark side and instead to protect and defend Khymeria. MOTHER KHALA smiles and sighs with relief as they all gaze at the setting sun.
DO I LIKE 👵MOTHER KHALA, DID MY STRATEGY WORK?👵
I definitely like MOTHER KHALA, I mean what's there not to like. She exudes peace, always smiling and humming. She can be very daring too when her loved ones are threatened. Lately once given the LIFE QUEST [which I get alot😆] I always make sure to engage her in battles. Her summoner abilities to grant +1 max health is amazing, to think she only cost 3 mana points in battle, absolutely unmatched. This only demonstrates that if you play the Life Unit and at the low mana then engaging her with this team lineup gives an 80% chance of victory. My strategy worked very well. It was a good lineup and strategy for this battle.
〽️Let's look at the current market value of MOTHER KHALA〽️
This amazing card is currently on the market for $7 regular card. While for rentals she goes for 18/dec per day. Level 1 at 40CP. It has seen a boost of +1% in the last 24hrs, It's an amazing card, not surprised.
The gold foil cost about 40$ starting from level 2. 2000CP at 42/Dec per day. It's also seen a +6% increase in price over the last month. It's an amazing card, not surprised. I'll love to afford that, sweet.
