This week's story:
With Danaya keeping a very close eye on her, Pirena poisons Lira's mind to kill Danaya. Lira does attempt it but fails because someone entered the room just as she was raising her dagger.
Pirena checks up on Hitano who is living in the forest under the name of Bergano. Alena, who thinks her name is Akesha, is asleep and does not hear Pirena tell Hitano to kill her if she attempts to escape. Hitano takes extreme precautions and Alena wakes up to find herself in chains.
Amihan meets Ybarro and calls him Ybrahim, and he does not correct her. She tells him that they have a daughter, so they spend time getting to know each other. Ybrahim is persuaded by Amihan to come to the palace and meet his child. The rest of the palace aren't as welcoming as the queen when the lowly Mandirigma walks in, and when Lira is called to meet her father, she rejects him outright.
Lira runs off to cry, is seen by Pirena, and tells her aunt that she just learned her father is a Mandirigma. Pirena tells Lira to stop crying, because her real father is not a Mandirigma. Lira is puzzled by this and when she asked her aunt to explain, Pirena realizes she slipped and took back what she said. while this drama is going on, Danaya is wondering if the Mandirigma called Ybarro that Alena was in love with is this Ybrahim that Amihan has just introduced as Lira's father.
Feeling the animosity against him in the palace, Ybrahim takes his leave and goes home. He tells his father that he has a daughter with the queen of Lireo, who knows him as Ybrahim. He brings up the dream where he first saw her face and where Bathala also called him Ybrahim. He asks if his father is hiding something from him. Apitong realized he had to tell Ybarro the truth. Apitong reveals that Ybarro is not his real son. His name is indeed Ybrahim, and his true father is the late King Arameo of Sapiro. Apitong launches into the story of how Ybrahim came to live amongst the Mandirigma.
During the fall of Sapiro, its queen was able to escape with her son, a few ladies in waiting, and some guards led by Prince Raquim. They took a path through the forest which crossed the camp of Apitong. Apitong and his men hid in the trees because of the presence of soldiers. They watched as the Sapiryans stopped and Raquim took some men to make clear the way ahead, leaving half of the guards with the queen. The Mandirigmas therefore saw how the pursuing Hathors caught up with the refugees and overpowered the queen's guards.
| Apitong signalled his men to help the Sapiryans but they were too late. Although the Mandirigmas were not able to prevent the massacre, they compensated by killing the Hathors. Apitong realized that the queen was still breathing but barely alive, and she was able to protect the baby that she was clutching tightly in her arms. The queen told him that the baby is Ybrahim, the crown prince of Sapiro. Before dying the queen begged Apitong to take the child as Hathors are pursuing them. Apitong took the baby, and the Mandirigmas fled to safety in case more Hathors arrive. |  |
After telling the story, Apitong takes out an ornate metal wristband and tells Ybarro that it was on his arm when he was a baby. It is the only proof Apitong has that Ybarro is King Arameo's son. Ybarro takes the wristband, and swears he will avenge the death of his family.
In the land of mortals, Milagros (or Mila for short) realizes that her master, Anthony, is the same runaway boy she befriended when she was a child. She tells this to a fellow maid, and the story is overheard by Anthony's girlfriend wannabe, Marge. Marge knows that Anthony often wonders whatever happened to the girl he met when he ran away. She gets alarmed when Mila decided she must tell Anthony that she was the girl in the park. Marge hatches an idea and beats Mila in telling the story to Anthony - changing it a bit to make it appear that the girl was Marge's friend and that said person died long ago. This bit of news depresses Anthony.
Marge's antics makes Mila angry enough to confront her. This is one of those rare occassions where Mila's emotions unleashes her power subconsciously - in this case, Marge found herself being freakishly thrown across the lawn.
In Lireo, Lira continues her forays into the forest, and learns from one session with Cassiopeia that she will not be the next queen of Lireo. This surprises Lira since she is the only likely heir. The next surprise was Cassiopeia saying that Lira will fall in love. Lira asks who will be the next queen, and was told that she is related to Lira, but will come from a far place. Next, Lira asks who is the man she will fall in love with - and Cassiopeia shows her the face of a man who lives in what is known as the world of mortals. Lira rejects all this and insists that she will not fall in love and that she will be queen of Lireo.
At another part of the forest, Akesha (Alena) manages to escape but is recaptured. While Bergano (Hitano) is scolding her, the Adamyans Banak and Nakba overhear and try to find out who the voices belong to. They see the sang'gre Alena and the missing guard, Hitano. They scuttle towards Lireo to bring the news to Danaya.
At the palace, Ybrahim visits Amihan and asks what she knows of the Sapiryans. Amihan tells him what she knows based on the records of Lireo. He returns to Apitong and they have a discussion, with Ybarro wishing he knew he was of royal blood when he met Alena so that they did not have to hide their relationship which ended tragically. Amihan on the other hand, is starting to feel something for Ybrahim but tells herself that she will not fall in love.
Danaya receives the news that Alena has been seen alive and is captive, but she wants to be sure before telling the queen. She calls on Aquil and some guards to accompany her into the part of the forest where the two Adamyans last saw Alena. Pirena sees them walking out of the palace and learns that they are out to rescue Alena. Pirena rushes to Hitano to warn him that the Queen's guards are coming. She threatens Hitano that she will kill him AND Alena if on the event they are captured, Hitano reveals to anyone about Pirena's hand in the kidnapping.
Hitano runs home to grab Alena but he is too late because the guards have seen them. Hitano fights bravely, even killing some of the guards until Aquil managed to subdue him. When Danaya arrived, she unleashed her anger at Hitano for daring to kidnap a sang'gre. She would have killed Hitano had Aquil not stopped her.
When Danaya and Aquil brings Alena back to the palace, Lira has just finished asking her mother about the world of mortals and was told about the portal between worlds, the Asnamon tree. The queen is delighted to see her sister alive and Lira sees her aunt Alena for the first time. Nothing was making sense to Alena however, for she does not remember any of them.
When Lira was able to sneak out again, she confides to Hagorn what Cassiopeia had foretold. When Hagorn asked how she plans to deal with it, Lira tells him that she will go through the portal and kill the man so that she won't fall in love with him and lose her throne.
This mortal happens to be the same Anthony who currently finds himself liking Milagros day by day. This fascination with the maid is noticed by Marge who finds a reason to have Milagros dismissed and thrown out of the house. This was not a good move because Anthony had already found out that Marge had been lying about being the friend of the girl Anthony befriended in childhood. Not only will Anthony confront her about making lies, but he would also learn that Marge had Milagros fired. Anthony would later realize that Milagros is his childhood friend. He goes out to find Milagros and bring her back... if Milagros agrees, since she would not to go back to her employer despite pleadings from her "mother".
In the palace of Lireo, Amihan is figuring out how Alena lost her memory, and is not having luck getting any answer from Hitano, who we know refuses to speak lest Pirena kills Alena. When Hitano is locked up after a fruitless interrogation, Pirena comes to free him and tells him to run away and take Alena with him. Hitano rushes to Alena's quarters and orders her to come with him. Alena refuses and fights. Alena surprises Hitano by fighting very well - a fortunate outcome of her mind not remembering who she was but her body not forgetting the fighting skills it learned. She would have killed Hitano had the guards not interfered.
In the queen's chambers, Lira is sneaking in to steal the medallion that will allow her to open the portal of Asnamon. Having found what she was looking for, Lira goes to the forest and commands Asnamon to bring her to the man Cassiopeia foretold she will fall in love with. Lira finds herself descending in the middle of an intersection, being surrounded by metal beings that honk a lot. These, by the way, are cars. One of the drivers happen to be Anthony, who took it upon himself to step out of his vehicle and drag the loony maiden to the safety of the sidewalk.
Lira recognizes the face of Anthony and walks away after being scolded about causing traffic. On a bridge somewhere in the same city, Milagros is taking a walk when a speeding vehicle bumps her off the bridge.
