This week's story:
Amihan is the new queen of Lireo, Mine-a will soon depart for Devas, and Pirena joins the Hathors in declaring war against Lireo. The butterflies whisper to Mine-a that Bathala has found the man who will be the father of Amihan's daughter-heir.
Amihan would meet that man, called Ybrahim, in a dream. Waking up, Amihan is surprised that the flower she held in her dream is still in her hands. Mine-a explains both of them were really present in the dreamworld, and that the flower means that she is already pregnant.
While Amihan and her sisters are talking about the pregnancy, Ybarro wakes up from a strange dream where Bathala called him Ybrahim and introduced him to another woman. He approaches his father, Apitong, and tells him of the dream. Apitong dismisses it as nothing important, but when Ybarro leaves, Apitong has a worried look on his face.
Alena keeps seeing Ybarro secretly, and after Amihan got pregnant, Alena told him how the queen met the father, called Ybrahim, in a dream. This bit of news shocks Ybarro for he still remembers his dream where he was called Ybrahim. Ybarro decides not to tell anything to Alena.
The news of the young queen being pregnant soon reaches the ears of Pirena. Sneaking into Lireo, Pirena mesmerizes one of the guards and gets herself pregnant. With the flower in her hand and the guard dead, Pirena goes back to Hathoria and tells Hagorn that she is expecting. Pirena manages to keep her pregnancy a secret. After some months, she and Amihan give birth to girls. Mine-a finally leaves Encantadia to go to Devas.
Alena keeps on seeing Ybarro secretly, but one day she is followed by Hitano, one of the queen's guards and who is in love with Alena. Upon discovering that the princess has fallen in love with a lowly Mandirigma called Ybarro, he becomes jealous and angry.
The birth of the daughter-heir, Lira, gave Pirena a reason to visit her sisters and make them believe that she has reformed. In no time, Pirena is back in Lireo. Unknown to Amihan, Pirena snuck in her child Mira and replaced Lira with it. Muyak catches Pirena sneaking out with Amihan's real daughter, but could not call for help lest she loses sight of Pirena. Pirena goes to the tree of Asnamon where the portal between worlds is. Pirena commands the portal to take her to the worst place in the other world and goes through.
Poor Muyak had no choice but to follow - and to her surprise, once she stepped through the portal, she grew in size, lost her wings and found herself invisible to the mortals. Pirena leaves the child to die in the mortal world then steps back to Encantadia, sealing the portal behing her. Muyak, who cannot make herself be seen or heard by mortals, is distraught that the queen's daughter is going to die and she can't do anything. Fortunately, a mortal heard the baby cry and saves her. The man names the child Milagros, meaning miracle, and adopts her.
Back in Lireo, Amihan, Danaya and Aquil are searching for the missing dame, Muyak. They see Pirena emerge from Asnamon and get suspicious. Pirena claims to be merely curious about the world where Amihan spent her early years. Amihan accepts this, but also follows Aguil's suggestion to seal the portal permanently so that no one can go in and out without the queen's knowledge. We would learn later that the reason the portal remained open during Mine-a's time was because she always hoped Raquim would come back to her.
Meanwhile, Hitano confronts Ybarro and challenges him to a duel. Just when Ybarro thought he was winning, Hitano stabs him and he falls into the water. Believing that Ybarro is dead, Hitano makes it appear that the Hathors killed the Mandirigma, and presents Ybarro's sword to Alena as proof. Alena grieves Ybarro's death and her sisters notice this. Upon questioning, they find out that Alena had fallen in love with a lowly Mandirigma who is now dead. Although shocked that they had not known this before, the sisters are also relieved that he is now dead, otherwise law would dictate that Alena be punished for loving a man beneath her stature.
The night Muyak disappeared, Amihan would sense that her daughter is in danger, only to be told by Danaya that Lira is safe in her crib. Amihan had the child brought to her. As she was cradling Lira, fire came out from the baby's mouth. Danaya and Amihan are both surprised that Lira would have the gift of fire.
| In the mortal world, the real Lira, now called Milagros, is growing up in the squatter area near the railroad track. She believes her adoptive parents, Dado and Amanda, are her real father and mother, and could not understand why her mother doesn't love her as much as her father does. Her mother and sister thinks she is weird for having an imaginary friend called Muyak. In fact, some people think she is crazy for having an imaginary friend. It is not surprising therefore, that when Milagros found out she could sometimes summon the wind, she kept this a secret from everyone else. |  |
When Milagros is around 7, Dado dies, and she is further maltreated by Amanda. She runs away and lives in the park. There, she would meet and befriend a boy, another runaway named Anthony. He came from a rich family so he had money when he left home. He would use this money when he and Milagros needed to buy food to eat. After spending some days together, Anthony's mother Carmen finally tracked him down and dragged him home. Before parting, Anthony would give Milagros his storybook, and he would take home her plastic butterfly ring. Both would remember the time they spent together as runaways in the park, but when their paths cross again ten years later, they would not recognize each other.
Back in Lireo, Alena could not contain her grief at Ybarro's death, and Pirena takes advantage of this. Disguising herself as Bathala, Pirena convinces Alena that the only way to ease the pain and forget about Ybarro is to give up her jewel (perhaps the separation of the jewel from the fairy who guards it is enough shock to give someone temporary amnesia?). Alena gives up the jewel of water and falls unconscious.
Alena's body will be found, seemingly dead, beside a lake; and the sword of Ybarro lies beside her. They concur that Alena killed herself. Her sisters sadly send her off to Devas on a funeral pyre.
Ybarro, who survived his fall in the water and was making his way slowly towards Lireo because of his wounds, was surprised to see a funeral being conducted. He was devastated when he learned the dead fairy was his beloved Alena.
When everyone had left the pyre burning by itself, Pirena would rise from the fire and laugh maniacally. Apparently, Pirena had impersonated Alena and led people to believe that Alena is dead (maybe getting burned had no effect on Pirena since she has the power to control fire).
