Kabanata 143:
ANG PAGKAKAISA NG MGA SANGGRE
Monday, November 16, 2005

Time: 1 am. Sorry po kung medyo (ok, sobrang) kulang at out-of-sequence ang sum na ito. Nag-OT ako at nawalan ng time na buksan ang mabagal at pashnea kong PC kaya kulang sa ibang details.

The epi opens with the three sanggres desperately trying to think of a way to help Pirena. Amihan already knows what she’s done to Gurna. Danaya tries to use the Earth Jewel but Pirena stubbornly refuses any aid and desperately tries to yell her sisters away.

Ybrahim is observing the training of the new recruits when Wantuk tells him of Aquil’s flight from Sapiro. The news seems to unsettle him (dapat lang no).

Speaking of whom, a still repentant and (gorgeous, I might add) Aquil is in plain clothes (I’ll never look at skirts and men in the same way again ) and carrying his signature twin swords. He plants them on the ground in a gesture of abandoning his life with the sanggres and starts to leave when the weapons begin to glow.

Four magical circles suddenly float and rotate around each of the hilts. He runs to them and goes into flashback mode.

A man wearing what seems to be a red roman legionnaire outfit is vainly trying to fend off two Etherian soldiers. One of them manages to mortally wound the warrior, and with the close-up shot we see that he looks exactly like Aquil (I actually thought that he WAS Aquil).

A cry of “Ado!!!! (Father!!!)” fills the air and from behind the trees a pre-teen aged Aquil runs to his grievously wounded father. With his dying breaths, Aquil’s father makes him vow to protect all encantados and eternally and faithfully serve the Queens of Lireo.
Flashback mode off.

Aquil realizes the error of his decision and pulls out one of the swords, the words of his father echoing in his mind.

“Habang nasayo ang mga ito, hinding-hindi ako mawawala sa tabi mo” (As long as these are with you, I will never leave your side).

Aquil looks up with a (very sexy) look of determination in his eyes. He picks up the other sword (both have stopped glowing) and goes back to Sapiro.

Back in the forest, the four sanggres are still in the throes of emotional breakdown. Pirena rightfully asks for forgiveness for all her sins. Lira refutes the statement, saying that she did nothing wrong and that she can still make up for it. Pirena agrees, saying that only her blood (death) can wash away her many sins. Alena pipes up ang tells Pirena all will be pardoned.

Pirena turns to Amihan, the one she hurt the most. Amihan shakes her head and cradles her older sister’s, saying had already forgiven her a long time ago.

Now there was only the sanggre of Earth. Danaya characteristically declares her refusal to absolve her oldest sister. Not until she accepts the healing powers of the Earth Jewel. Pirena joyfully concedes, and her broken flesh (as well as her soul) is whole once more. (Nakuha pa talaga niyang magbiro ano? Pero ang ganda ng moment nilang dalawa ni Pirena dito).

Pirena, fully healed, looks up in immense gratitude, and the best group hug I have ever seen in this series begins. Pirena is in the middle with Danaya’s head on her lap while Amihan and Alena wrap their arms around both. Lira also hugs them (kaso nag-mukhang awkward). Joy fills the air as the hearts and minds of the four sanggres are truly united (for the first time, I think).

But it soon become apparent that we aren’t the only ones watching the tear-jerking scene. From behind the bushes, Agane has also witnessed the reunion. And she is NOT pleased.

Somewhere in the woods, Wantuk and Ybrahim (kailangan ko ba talagang isama tong mamang to? Lunes pako walang gana sa kanya e) are searching for the sanggres. They’ve been gone too long and he’s worried something might have happened.

Wantuk leans upon a tree, and with a (surprising) wisdom that can only come from the truly objective, Wantuk tells Ybrahim that they need Aquil now more than ever. They need him to train the troops and prepare for the inevitable showdown with Hagorn. Suddenly, out of nowhere, several Hathors attack.

Back in Lireo, Hagorn is seated at the throne when Agane comes in. Hagorn rises to meet her. Agane hesitates, then breaks the bad news. Hagorn promptly explodes (figuratively again), pulls out the Kabilan, and hurls a bolt of his trademark red lighting onto a hapless pillar. Immediately Hitano and Asval, who felt and heard the shockwave, run to the throne room.

Still in the middle of the ambush, Aquil comes and helps them fend off the last of their attackers. And while Wantuk can’t thank Aquil enough, Ybrahim clarifies that this doesn’t mean he’s already forgiven Aquil. He will never be able to fully trust Aquil ever again (kala mo kung sinong magsalita, parang hindi siya ang nagdala ng kabilan a. Kita mo talaga kung sino ang mas mature sa kanilang dalawa).

Aquil answers back that he intends to prove his loyalty. He’ll return to Lireo no matter what anyone says (GO!!!!).

The three stooges are walking down a hall in Lireo, with Asval fuming (and plotting) over the bad news. He hadn’t counted on the sanggres reuniting, they need Sapiro’s treasure. Asval hatches a plan, and goes off to the ruined kingdom.

Muros is talking to two damas when Aquil comes in. Muros notices and leaves the two damas to talk to him. Aquil doesn’t blame him for his earlier defiance. Muros tells him that as a friend, he too wants to the old Aquil back. Ybrahim, who had just entered the room, saw the exchange and glares at Aquil.

Suddenly ____ (don’t know his name) enters, the queen has returned and has an important announcement to make. Muros goes ahead while Aquil avoids Ybrahim’s glare.

Amihan and the other sanggres enter, Pirena behind them. She announces Pirena’s return to the fold as the sanggre of fire takes center stage, much to everyone’s shock and disbelief. Wantuk and Apek, run in and see with their own eyes the truth. Ybrahim blurts out in anger, but Alena cuts him off (Beelllaaaatttt!!!!!! ), and Lira tries to persuade him of Pirena’s sincerity.

Insert Lira’s dialogue here. (Sorry guys, talagang inaantok nako e…)

Pirena, hurt and ashamed of her previous actions, starts to leave when a moved Aquil calls her. Pirena turns around and sees Aquil humbly bowing before her. Muros follows suit, then the other soldiers, then the damas, then Wantuk and Apek. Even a skeptical Ybrahim grudgingly follows suit. We finally see hope lighten her beautiful face. In tears she thanks them for their acceptance. Never has she felt so wanted. Her sisters close in and hug her with a love that only family can give.

The joy is felt all the way to Cass den. Cass, who was making inventory of the her precious hoard, feels the love in Sapiro, and rejoices in it.

Cass: Malapit na akong makalaya sa gubat na kinapipiitan ko. (Soon I will be free from this jungle that imprisons me).

Ybrahim is shown very drunk, (Bakit kaya? Kasi naitsapwera siya? Hwek-hek-hek. Peace. Medyo bangag nako.) taking on an entire J&B-sized bottle of strong Sapirian wine (wine nga ba yun o lambanog? Basta matapang).

After several more glugs, he finally collapses and lies down on the bench. Asval orbs in and sees him. An evil smile crosses his lips and he approaches the sleeping warrior. He raises his axe to strike and the scene cuts off just as the weapon goes down…

Kabanata 142: Ang Paglaya mula sa Dilim

A place in Encantadia:
Pirena is continuously crying when Lira came. Lira then saw Gurna. She asked Pirena what happen but Pirena still crying and didn’t reply. Then Pirena leave Lira wondering what had happened.

A place in Encantadia:
Aquil was defeated. When Asval pointed his sword to Aquil, Danaya suddenly appeared.

Danaya: “ Asval!”

Asval: “ Ipagtatanggol mo ang isang traydor tulad ni Aquil?” (“You’re going to protect that traitor?”)

Danaya: “Pagtatanggol ko kahit sinong diwata taksil man o ndi lalo na sa katulad mong kasumpa sumpa!”(I’m going to protect anyone whether traitor or not especially in the hands of someone like you!”)

Danaya fought Asval and Aquil has regained his strength then help Danaya in fighting Asval. For Asval cannot defeat the two, he orbed out. Danaya noticed that Aquil is wounded. You can sense Danaya’s concern for Aquil but when Aquil thanked her the expression on her face changed. She became cold to Aquil again.

Danaya: “Aquil! Nasaktan ka ba?” ( Aquil! Are you hurt?”)

Aquil: “Maraming salamat sa pagtulong mo Danaya.” (“ Thank you for helping me Danaya.”)

Danaya: “ Hindi pagtulong yon Aquil. Nagkataon lamang kaaway ng ating lahi si asval kaya ko nagawa to. Kahit saan ko siya matagpuan lalabanan ko pa rin siya. Nagkataon lamang lang na ikaw yan. (“It’s not what you think it is. It’s just that Asval is our enemey that’s why I did it. Wherever I see Asval I will fight him.”)

Aquil: “ Maraming salamat pa rin sayo Danaya.” (“But I still want to thank you.”)


A place in Encantadia:
Lira is wondering what really happened. Then she saw imaw’s staff and thought that it can help her solve the mystery behind Gurna’s “death”. She ordered the staff to reveal to her the truth. Then she learned that Pirena is the one who did that thing to Gurna.

Lira: “Si ashte Pirena!”

When 2 hathors came. Lira fought and defeated them. Orb out.

Lireo:
“ Pashnea! ”, Asval exclaimed. He was so furious. Hagorn then came and call his attention. Hagorn asked him what happen. He told Hagorn that Aquil just quit in their deal. But Asval is determined to get Ybrahim’s cantao. He said that he will find a way to get it. Then a hathor came to tell something to Hagorn. Asval asked what it is. Hagorn replied that Gurna is dead.



Sapiro:
The 3 sang’gres (Amihan, Danaya, and Alena) with Ybrahim are talking about Aquil redeeming himself.

Ybrahim: “ Sana’y tinapos na ni Aquil ang laban nila ni Asval. Bakit pa kasi pinabayaan niyang makatakas ang sapiryan na yon!” (“ I just wish that Aquil was able to finish his fight with Asval. I’m wondering why did he let that sapiryan escape!”)

Amihan: “ Maaaring namulat na ang mga mata ni Aquil at nalaman niyang ndi niya dapat pagkatiwalaan si Asval.” (“ I think Aquil just learned his lesson and learned that he should not trust Asval.”)

Ybrahim: “ Pero ndi pa rin sapat na batayan yon ng kanyang pagbabalik loob. Kelangan pa ring patunayan ni Aquil na karapat dapat siyang pagkatiwalaan uli.” (“ But it’s not enough to trust him again. He should prove to us that he can be trusted again.”)

Danaya: “ Tama si Ybarro ang laban ni Aquil kanina ay maliit na simula pa lang. Marami pa siyang dapat gawin upang sukatin ang kanyang katapatan.” (“ Ybarro’s right. Aquil should prove his loyalty to us.”)

Alena: “ Sana nga’y mapatuanayan ni Aquil na pumapanig pa rin siya sa atin.” (“ I hope that Aquil can prove his loyalty to us.”)

Lira then came. They noticed that Lira is holding imaw’s staff. They asked her where did she get it. She told them that she found it near Gurna’s stoned body. Everyone was shocked especially when Lira told everyone that it was Pirena’s fault.

Sapiro:
Wantuk and Muros were talking. Wantuk is boasting to Muros that he was the one who found all the new soldiers. Aquil came and ordered Muros to tell the new soldiers to be always ready to fight. But Muros didn’t follow Aquil.

Muros: “ Pagpaumanhin mo Aquil, ikaw ay isang kaibigan. Ngunit sa ginawa mong pakikianib kay Asval, kahit ito ay iniisip mong para sa kabutihan ng Lireo. Ikinalulungkot ko ngunit hindi ko na ata kayang sumunod pa sa ipinag uutos mo bilang aking pinuno.” (Forgive me Aquil, you are my friend. But because of what you you did eventhough you think that it is for the good of Lireo. I think I cannot follow you order as our leader anymore.”)

Muros left with the new soldiers and Ybrahim came. Wantuk was ordered by Ybrahim to leave so he and Aquil can talk. Aquil said sorry again to Ybrahim. But Ybrahim told him that they will only forgive him if Aquil will tell what will Asval do with the cantao. But since Aquil didn’t know anything about it, told Ybrahim that he didn’t have any idea at all. But Ybrahim didn’t believe him.

Ybrahim: “ Kahit ang sarili mong mga kawal ay tinalikuran na ang isang taksil na katulad mo.” (“ Even your soldiers cannot follow a traitor like you.”)


Lireo:
Asval told Banduk and Axilom that the cantaos are key to their success. That the cantaos are the key to the treasure of Sapiro that was hidden by Armeo.

Sapiro:
Ybrahim didn’t believe that Aquil has no idea about Asval’s plan. He told Aquil that because of that they will not trust Aquil again. That it is better for Aquil to leave Sapiro.

Ybrahim: “ At kahit ano pang pagsisisi ang gawin mo, ndi na maibabalik ang pagtitiwala ko, naming lahat sa iyo! Kaya mas mabuti pang lisanin mo na ang Sapiro Aquil dahil walang puwang ang isang traydor na katulad mo sa kanlungan namin nina Amihan.”
(“ Even if you try your very best to prove to us your loyalty, we cannot trust you anymore! So it is better for you to leave Sapiro for there are no place for a traitor like you.”)



A place in Encantadia:
Hagorn and Agane went to Gurna’s stoned body. They saw Gurna and Agane thought that the one who did it was Lira. But Hagorn didn’t think so. He said that only a diwata who have a strong grudge to Gurna can do it.

Hagorn: “Sumama ka sa akin, hahanapin natin si Pirena.” ( “ Come with me, we’re going to look for Pirena.”)


A place in Encantadia:
Amihan, Danaya, Alena, and Lira were looking for Pirena.


A place in Encantadia:
Pirena is still crying. Alone.

Pirena: “ Pagmamahal ninyo pa rin ang hinahanap hanap ko. Patawarin ninyo ako sa kasalanan ko. Patawarin ninyo ako….” (“It is still your love that I’m carving for all this time. Forgive me for all the bad things that I’ve done. Forgive me….”)




Mortal World:
Mira is staring at the love potion given to her by Cass. She remembered what Cass had told her.

Mira: “ Napaibig ko nga ba si Anthony? O nagging akin lamang ang kanyang isip at hindi ang puso nia?” (“Did I really made Anthony fall in love with me? Or only his mind are mine but not his heart?”)

Encantadia:
Cass is looking at Mira’s image in her cauldron.

Sapiro:
Aquil was dressed as a simple encantado/diwata. His warrior outfit was given to Wantuk.

Aquil: “ Matapos ang ginawa ko wala na kong mukhang maihaharap sa inyong lahat. Tama si Ybrahim kelangan ko ng umalis.” (“ After what I’ve done, I can mno longer face all of you. Ybrahim’s right, is should leave this place.”)


Encantadia:
Pirena is still crying while shouting Ynang Reyna’s name.

Pirena: “ Inaaaa! Inaaa! Wala ng saysay ang pakikipaglaban ko. Dahil nakita ko na ang katotohanan. Napakalaki ng pagkakasala ko sa mga kapatid ko,sa iyo, sa buong Encantadia. Isa akong sumpa! Isang sumpa na dapat mamatay!” (“ Mother! Mother! There is no point for living now because I’ve learned the truth. I made a grave mistake. I’m such a curse! A curse that should be punish!”)


She then striked herself with her dagger!



Encantadia:
Amihan and the others saw what happened to Pirena. They rushed to Pirena.

Abangan Bukas:

--> Alena and Ybarro were talking. Ybarro told Pirena that his cantao is now in Asval’s hand.
-->Danaya curing Pirena but it’s not working, for Pirena doesn’t want to be cure.
--> Aquil is backing Sapiro but he and the other encantado/encantada are going somewhere.
--> Agane has a bad news to Hagorn about Pirena.

Kabanata 141:
Ang Parusa
Monday, November 14, 2005

The epi opens with the scene of the four sanggres interrogating a kneeled Aquil. Amihan rapid-fires away the questions, and Aquil admits to all the charges, including freeing Asval. Ybrahim, blinded by rage, hits Aquil repeatedly until Lira stops him.

Amihan continues to lay on the guilt, saying that they were relying on his loyalty. Aquil argues that he IS loyal. He stayed with them, living like a pashnea when he could’ve allied himself with Hagorn’s ilk.

Aquil: Kahit mahirap, kahit hindi sagana. Hindi kita iiwan. Hinding-hindi kita iiwan, mahal na Reyna. (I will never leave you, my queen. No matter how difficult or low the situation gets).

Ybrahim continues to rant, saying that Aquil is no different from Asval. Aquil answers that he did things his own way. It breaks his heart (and probably his ego) to see the sanggres getting hurt and defeated time and again ever since they were driven from Lireo. He foolishly let Asval go for fear of losing their trust, something that he now realizes is pure folly. He regrets everything he did.

Amihan alerts at the mention of the word “lahat” (all of it). Aquil then proceeds to narrate how Asval called him for a secret meeting.

Flashback mode on:
Aquil enters a clearing in the wood, hollering Asval’s name. Asval orbs in, devoid of weapons or armor. Aquil suspects a trap, but Asval calms his fears and offers him a secret alliance in exchange for his help in taking back Sapiro through the kantaos.

To help in his mission, Asval gives Aquil temporary powers (I wonder why Aquil himself didn’t develop any all these years?). He waves his hand, and a chest containing every manner of weaponry and ninja armor appears (san galing yun? Parang capsule corp sa dragonball, just add water?).

Asval chooses a sword and the ninja outfit and tries to hand it over to Aquil, who refuses and picks an (apparently enchanted) arnis from the chest. Asval wonders, but Aquil retorts that he doesn’t need to hurt anyone to take the kantaos.

Still doubtful, Aquil asks for a guarantee. Asval says Aquil knows him, they are probably the two oldest beings in enca. He only has one goal, to restore Sapiro, and will go to any lengths--even betray his friend Hagorn--to achieve it.
Flashback mode off.

Ybrahim shouts that Asval’s words have no value. He rants at Aquil for not taking action without the knowledge or consent of the Queen (right, as if he too wasn’t a bringer of doom, re: Kabilan. That’s just testosterone [with a dash of adrenaline] if you ask me).

Aquil declares he never had any intention of hurting Ybrahim or Lira, simply to take the kantaos. He had intended to fool Asval and take the kantaos after Lireo was in their hands again.

Danaya, who had been quiet until now, suddenly flares up. The law must be followed; Aquil’s life must be taken. Lira starts to ask if Danaya can actually go through with the execution when the sanggre of earth cuts her off, saying that was what a traitor deserves.

Amihan agrees, saying the law must be enforced. A very disturbed Lira suddenly defends Aquil, asking if one mistake (done with the purest of intentions, I might add) is enough to erase all the good Aquil has done in the past.

Amihan concedes to the argument, but says that Aquil will forever be marked as a traitor.

Elsewhere in the forest, Gurna has just finished gathering that night’s supper when Pirena arrives. Gurna approaches the sanggre of fire, offering the fruit when Pirena’s building and seething emotions finally spill.

Why did Gurna raise her in deception and perceived betrayal? Why did she make Pirena believe that she was the only one who truly loved her? Why did she deprive Pirena of her family’s love? Gurna tries to deny it, but Pirena cuts her off, saying she’s no longer naive and immature to believe in anything she says.

Aquil profusely apologizes for his actions, and for disgracing himself in the Queen’s presence. Without looking at Aquil, Amihan calls Lira while Alena prods a fuming Ybrahim to leave, leaving Danaya and Aquil to talk. Danaya slaps Aquil. She turns her back on him and starts to leave. When Aquil calls out her name, Danaya looks back, a world of hurt reflected in her eyes.

Aquil approaches Danaya. Now it’s her turn to spill. Her whole life, she had trust in his loyalty, no word nor action that she didn’t respect and uphold, and now this? He’s just like Pirena, Asval and Hagorn. He’s not worthy of his forgiveness. He tries to appeal to her emotions, but she promptly shuts down. She doesn’t want to listen anymore.

Back to the other traitor, Pirena continues to chastise Gurna, when the treacherous dama finally breaks down. She wanted Pirena to become queen, something that half-breeds like them have never achieved (biased siya, half-breed din naman si Amihan a..)

Pirena immediately demands Gurna to explain what her statement meant. Gurna tries to avoid the topic by laying another round of guilt on Pirena, how she was fiercely loyal and treated the sanggre like a daughter. She wanted nothing more than for Pirena to reach the pinnacle of success.

Pirena hurtfully answers that in her own way, she too has been loyal to Gurna. She loved the dama like a mother, but never tried to own her. Pirena gave Gurna the freedom that the dama didn’t allow her.

Lira approaches Aquil and playfully asks him if he and Danaya had an LQ (something that I doubt if he understands). She reassures him that everything will turn out alright and Danaya will soon forgive him. Aquil says Danaya has a point, and vows to do everything to win back the sanggres’ trust. He thanks Lira for standing up for him, and then leaves to face Asval.

Pirena pulls out Imaw’s staff, and then throws a green bolt toward Gurna. It misses, hitting the boulder behind her. And just when Gurna declares that Pirena will never be able to hurt her, Pirena cuts in saying:

Pirena: Dahil may mas mabigat na parusa para sayo. (Because you deserve far worse).

Gurna begins to panic, and Pirena hits the stone one more time. A green vortex/ portal opens in the boulder, and Pirena suddenly pushes Gurna inside, fossilizing the dama ala-Han Solo in “The Empire Strikes Back.” The adrenaline goes down, and Pirena falls to the floor, wailing the loss of her false mentor.

Meanwhile, in the mortal realm, Anthony is spacing out near the dining room when Mira approaches, busy preparing his things for the next workday. She notices his restlessness and inquires. Anthony says he can’t get Mila off his mind. His friend (Bojo?) told him that he was madly in love with Mila, and now he’s wondering why he can’t even remember that he loved her. Mira tell him not to believe, saying that they are the ones who are in love.

In Sapiro, Danaya is standing outside the keep, angry and hurting when Lira comes. She tries to lighten the mood but just ends up ticking Danaya off. The ashti walks out on the young heiress. Suddenly Wantuk and Apek arrive with an Arilon, an Ajantao refugee. He narrates the attack on the Ajantao and pleads for help. An angry and upset Lira decides to look for her ashti Pirena.

Somewhere in the woods, Aquil comes looking for Asval. Balbas orbs in and asks for Ybrahim's kantao. Aquil declares that the deal is off, and demands Lira’s kantao back. Asval laughs in his face, and Aquil regrets ever have listening to the old Sapiryan.

The two go at it, but reach a stalemate. Aquil declares that Asval will never be able to defeat him as they are evenly matched in combat skills. Asval promptly throws an energy ball at Aquil, who falls down from the impact.

Kabanata 140: Nang Mahubdan ang Taksil
November 11, Friday

In Adjantao..
Lira was talking to the adjantaos.

Lira: Wag po kayong mag-alala. Gagawin namin ang lahat upang maging tahimik at maayos ang lahat sa Encantadia. (Don't worry. We will do everything to make Encantadia peaceful and alright.)

Everyone supported and agreed with Lira. Lira thanked them.

They didn't know, Baldok, Axilom and the Hathors were there.
Baldok: Kapanalig na pala ng mga diwata ang tribo ng mga Adjantao.(The tribe of Adjantaos had already joined the force of the diwata)
Axilom: Lusubin natin ang mga Adjantao! (Let's attack the Adjantaos!)
Baldok said that they shoudn't. It would be easier if Lira leaves.
Axilom: Mapayapa ang pamamaraan ni Lira. Ngunit iba ang sa atin. (Lira's way is peaceful. Ours is different.

Somewhere in the forests of Encantadia...
Imaw was trying to reach a fruit from a tree with a stick. He jumped but he couldn't so he tried and tried. He didn't know that Gurna was there, for he is busy getting a fruit. The tungkod was at a tree, behind Imaw. Gurna took the tungkod. She looked at it, and with a smile, he looked at Imaw and left.

Imaw: Haay, nakakapagod. (Haay, this is tiring.)

Imaw, exhausted, walked away, to get his tungkod. When he got to the tree where he placed it, he saw it was gone.

Imaw: Asan na? Nawawala ang tungkod ko! (Where is it? My tungkod is lost!)

Back in Adjantao...

Lira was no more there. There was someone from Adjantao, she saw the Hathors. She shouted and ran away. The other Adjantaos shouted for help. But the Hathors captured them.

"Mga hathor! Tulungan nyo kami!(Hathors! Help us!)

"Kailangan namin ng kapanalig. Walang pwedeng tumakas. Tayo na. Dalhin sila sa Lireo(We need allies. No one is allowed to escape. Let's go. Bring them to Lireo)"

One tried to attack the Hathors. But the hathors got him.

"Ang tumakas ay papatayin! Tingnan natin kung maligtas pa kayo ni Lira. Tayo na! Dalhin sila sa Lireo. (Anyone who escapes will be killed! Let's see if you can be saved by Lira. Let's go! Bring them to Lireo.)"

They left and brought them to Lireo.

Outside Sapiro...

Imaw: Banak, Nakba, sigurado ba kayong hindi nyo nakita ang tungkod ko? (Banak, Nakba, are you sure that you didn't see my tungkod?)

Banak and Nakba shook their heads, to show they didn't see Imaw's tungkod.

Imaw: Hay nako. Nasan na kaya iyon? (Oh my. Where could it be?)

The 2 Adamyans left.

Pirena: Imaw!

Imaw: Pirena! ano nanaman ba ang kailangan mo?! (Pirena, what again do you want?!)

Pirena: Maayos akong lumalapit sa iyo para hiramin ang iyong tungkod. Ano't nagagalit ka sa akin? (I am asking you nicely to borrow your tungkod. Why are you angry at me?)

Imaw: Hiramin? Bakit mo hihiramin ang nasa iyo na? (Borrow? Why will you borrow what you already have?)

Pirena: Wala ito sa akin. (I do not have it!)

Imaw: Nawawala nanaman ang tungkod ko, Pirena. Ninakaw mo ulit iyon sa akin! At isa lang ang pwedeng gumawa nun. Hindi ba? (My tungkod is lost! You stole it again from me! And only one can do it. Is it not?)

Pirena: Pinagbibintangan mo ba ako? (Are you accusing me?)

Imaw: Kailan mong kinailangan iyon, at minsan mo lang kinuha sa akin iyon! (You have just need it, and once, last time you have just got it from me!)

Pirena: Wala ito sa akin, Imaw. Dahil kung nasa akin iyon, hindi na ako makikiusap sa iyo upang hiramin ang iyong tungkod. (It is not with me, Imaw. For if it is with me, I would not even ask from you to borrow your tungkod.)

ImaW: Ewan ko, Pirena. Ewan ko. (I don't know, Pirena. I don't know.)

Imaw shood his head.

Somewhere in Encantadia...

Aquil and Asval were together.

Aquil: Anong kailangan nating pag-usapan, Asval?(What do we need to talk about, Asval?)

Asval: Ginagawa na ni Hagorn ang lahat upang manalo sa nalalapit na digmaan. Nagpapatawag kami ng maraming kawal. (Hagorn is doing everything to win in the coming war. We are calling for many soldiers/guards.)

Aquil: Ginagawa na namin ang lahat upang magtagumpay. (We are doing everything to succeed.)

Asval: Ang cantao ni Ybrahim, asan? (The cantao fo Ybrahim, where is it?)

Aquil: Naghahanap pa ako ng magandang pagkakataon. (I am still looking for a good chance.)

Asval: Nauubos na lahat ng pagkakataon, Aquil. Kailangan ko ang cantao ni Ybrahim, para makumpleto na ang susi na hawak ko. (There is no more time, Aquil. I need the cantao of Ybrahim, to complete the key I hold.)

Aquil: Labag sa puso ko ang kasunduang ito. (This agreement is against my heart.)

Asval: Kaibigang Aquil. Kapag nasa iyo na iyon, tuloy ang usapan natin. Tutulungan kitang mabawi ang Lireo para sa mga sang'gre. (Aquil. If you have it already, our agreement will proceed.)

Asval walked away a few distance from Aquil. Asval left by using his power to teleport.

Aquil: Minea, tama ba itong ginagawa ko?(Minea, am I doing the right thing?)

**********

In Sapiro..

Lira: Iyon ang tribong pinuntahan namin. At nangako silang lahat, na tutulungan nila tayo. (That is the tribe that we went to. And they all promised that they will help us.)

Amihan: Isang tunay na reyna ang tinanggap ng mga tribong iyon. Ikinararangal kita. (A true queen is what that tribe accepted. I am hounoring you.)

Ybarro: Talagang dapat ipagmalaki si Lira, Amihan. (We should really be proud of Lira, Amihan.)

Danaya: At sa ginawa mong yan Lira, inilapit mo ang tunay na diwa ng Lireo sa mga tribo. Nararapat ka nang maging reyna ng Lireo. (And because of what you did, Lira, you brought in the real spirit of Lireo to the tribes. you are really worthy to be the next queen of Lireo.)

Lira: Nagsisimula palang ang totoong laban, Ashti Danaya. Nang makita ko ang mga tribo, naisip ko na dapat lang ituloy ang digmaan. Para.. Para matulungan ang mga maliliit na nilalang. At para maghari ang kabutihan at katahimikan sa buong Encantadia. (The real war is just starting, Ashti Danaya. When I saw the tribes, I realized that the fight needs to be continued. So that.. So that I could help the needy. And so that grace and peace would reign in Encantadia)

Danaya: Siguro ngang masasabi ko na anak ka nga ni Amihan...(I can say that you're really Amihan's daughter..)

Ybarro: ...at, na pamangkin ka nga ni Danaya. (...and, that you are really the neice of Danaya.)

Danaya: Dahil ba sa kagandahan, Ybarro? (Is it because of beauty, Ybarro?)

Lira: Dahil sa ka-sexyhan. (Because of sexyness)

Amihan: Hindi. Dahil sa katigasan ng ULO! (No. Because of being hard-headed!)

Everyone laughed.

Ybarro: Tama ka dyan, Amihan. Sige, mauna na ako sa inyo.

Ybarro waved and left.

Somewhere in the forest of Encantadia..

Pirena was walking. Gurna was there, and she walked towards Pirena.

Gurna: Mukhang balisa ka mahal na Pirena. Bakit?

Pirena: Tila nagiging mailap sakin ang katotohanan. Pati ang pagkakataon na makuha ko ito.

Gurna: Anong ibig mong sabihin? (What do you mean?)

Pirena: Ang tungkod ni Imaw ay nawawala. May nagnakaw. (The tungkod of Imaw is lost. Somebody stole it.)

Gurna: Ha? Sinong nagnakaw?(Huh? Who stole it?)

Pirena: Ewan ko. Ang mas masama pa doon ay pinagbintangan ako ni Imaw na ako daw ang nagnakaw ng tungkod nya. Sa tingin mo, Gurna, sino ang nagnakaw ng tungkod ni Imaw? (I don't know. What's worse is Imaw accused me of stealing his tungkod. What do you think, Gurna? Who stole the tungkod of Imaw?)

Gurna: Hindi ko alam. (I don't know)

Then Gurna walked away and left. After a few seconds, Pirena followed Gurna. Gurna didn't notice.

In Sapiro...

Ybarro went to a room. He took of his cloak, ang placed it in the table. Then he took out his cantao. He looked at it, then placed it in the table. Ybarro walked away from the table.

Suddenly, the white ninja came. He looked around for the cantao. When he saw the cantao, he took it and looked at it. Ybarro came back. He saw the white ninja. The ninja put his hands down with the cantao in his hands. Ybarro dropped something.visala

Ybarro: Ikaw nanaman? (You again?)

Somewhere back in the forest of Encantadia..

As Gurna was walking, she looked around. She continued walking. She still didn't know that Pirena was following her. Gurna walked to where she hid the tungkod of Imaw. She took it out of the bush. Pirena saw it, and now she knew Gurna stole it.

Gurna: Ibabaon kita sa lupa sa mga nagawa mong kasalanan. Ibabaon ko ang katotohanan. {Gurna did this, because Pirena knew that Gurna lied to her-- and now Pirena is mad at her, or not trusting Gurna anymore.}

Gurna took a wood from the bush quickly, and she dug a part of the soil horizontaly, for the tungkod to fit.. She placed the tungkod of Imaw there, and hid it with the soil. When Pirena saw this, and Gurna was about to leave, Pirena stepped backwards and hid, but she was still looking. Gurna stood up, and left. Pirena walked to the place where Gurna buried the tungkod.


In Sapiro...

Ybarro kicked the white ninja. The ninja stepped backwards, and also Ybarro. The ninja tried to punch Ybarro in the pace, but Ybarro bent down. The ninja punched Ybarro again, but this time on the stomach and it hit, at the same time Ybarro kicked the ninja. The tried to punch each other, but their hands blocked. This time, Ybarro punched the ninja, and kicked him. The white ninja tried to punch him back on his stomach, but Ybarro grabbed his hand and the ninja stepped backwards towards Ybarro, by force. Now Ybarro holds the white ninja. He held his head to take it off, and he goes for the mouth's cover and took it off. The ninja tried to escape by moving his body but he cannot. Now Ybarro took of the last part on the ninja's head. He pushed the ninja. Away from him. The ninja nearly fell down forward, but he grabbed on something to hold. The ninja stood up, and without the cover on his head, it showed Aquil's face. Ybarro saw the face.

Ybarro: Aquil?

He could not believe it.

Aquil didn't move, and didn't even speak.(Hindi si Aquil kumibo) He just looked down, to the left and right, and to Ybarro.

somewhere back in the forest in Encantadia..

Pirena bent down to the place where Gurna buried the tungkod. She took a big leaf, and dug. (Pirena took a leaf so that her hands wouldn't get icky and dirty.) She took the tungkod out, and stood up. She looked at it, and walked a few distance away from that place. She rose the tungkod up,

Pirena: Mahiwagang tungkod ni Imaw, ipakita mo sa akin ang aking nakaraan. Mula pagkabata hanggang ngayon. Lahat ng may kinalaman si Gurna.

The tungkod lightened, and it showed a light in front of Pirena, to watch and show her past. She looked at the light of the tungkod in front of her.

Back in Sapiro...

Ybarro: Imposible. (Impossible)

Ybarro bent forward and took his sword.

Ybarro: Hagorn! Nagbabalat-gayo ka nanaman. Pashnea ka! (Hagorn! You're pretending again. You're a pashnea!)

He was about to attack the white ninja. He rose his sword up, and straight towards the ninja. But..

Aquil: Sandali! Ako nga. (Wait! It's really me.)

Ybarro put his sword down, and put it near Aquil's neck. As Ybarro goes around Aquil without releasing the sword, he said:

Ybarro: Sa lahat ng mga Encantado, iisa hinala ko. Hindi ko naisip na ikaw ang magtataksil sa amin.

Ybarro put his sword down then he said "Pashnea ka!(You're a pashnea!) and punched Aquil's face. He grabbed his back, and pushed him and walked forward quickly, as Aquil held his face with his hands because of the pain.

In Lireo...

Adjantao shouted as the Hathors held them and brought near Agane, near the wall. Hitano heard the shout, and it annoys him.

Hitano: Magsitigil kayo. Sabi nang magsitigil kayo!

The Adjantao stopped shouting. Agane was holding a whip. Hitano came neat with his sword.

Hitano: Marurupok talaga kayong mga diwata.

Hitano turned back. Hagorn came. There was another Adjantao on the left. Agane kicked him.

Agane: Magbigay pugay kayo sa bago nyong panginoon!

Hagorn moved a bit closer forward, with Asval.

Hagorn: Makinig kayo! Simula ngayon, dito na kayo mananatili sa Lireo. Magiging mga alipin namin kayo. Ngayon, paglilingkuran nyo ako, at ang aking mga kapanalig! At tutulungan nyo kami sa nalalapit na digmaan!

lalaking Adjantao: Ano? Hindi kami papayag! At lalong hindi kami susunod sa iyo! Ang mga diwata ang tinuturing naming kakampi! Kaya't pakawalan nyo na kami!

Asval kicked punched on the stomach.

Hagorn: Samahan sila. Wag nyo silang titigilan hanggang hindi sila sumusunod sa gusto ko.

The Hathors held the female Adjantaos and left.

Asval and Hitano punched the male Adjantaos.

somewhere in the forest of Encantadia (Pirena and the tungkod)...

Pirena stared at the lgiht in front of her. She watched her past. This is what the tungkod showed:

*Minea, their mother with Amihan*

Minea: Pirena, ito si Amihan. Amihan, siya naman si Pirena. Siya ang iyong kapatid.

*Minea, with Alena, Danaya, and Amihan beside her*

Danaya and Alena shaked hands with Amihan. They chuckled because they were happy. Pirena came, holding a cloth(dress).

Minea: Pirena!

Pirena: Para sa iyo ang damit na ito, Amihan.

Pirena handed Amihan the cloth.

*Pirena and Gurna*

Gurna: Bakit ka nagpakita ng kabutihan kay Amihan?

Pirena: Dahil... Kapatid ko sya.

Gurna: Kapatid mong magiging pinakamalupit mong karibal laban sa trono ng iyong ina. Lalong nakikita kong masmahal sya ni Ynang Reyna.

*Amihan and Pirena*

Pirena: Hindi ka na dapat bumalik rito. Mang-aagaw ka!

Pirena opened her hand. It put out some fire.

*Gurna and Pirena(grown up)*

Gurna: Kunin mo ang mga brilyante. Yun ang gagamitin mo laban sa iyong ina.

*Pirena in battle suit*

Pirena used her dagger and attacked Ynang Reyna.

*some scenes show*

Minea: Kaligtasan ng Lireo at buong Encantadia, laban sa mga Hathor ang papaslangin niya, Imaw. Kailangan maging matalino ako sa pagpili sa aking mga anak. Masmapapadali na sana ang lahat, Imaw. Ibibigay ko na lang ang korona sa aking panganay na anak, kay Pirena, siya ang aking unang pinanganak, siya ang aking unang minahal, siya ang unang nagbigay sakin ng tuwa. Ngunit natatakot ako sa dugong dumadaloy sa kanya.

"Ako, ang dapat maging bagong reyna. Hindi si Amihan!" -Pirena

"Pirena!" -- Minea

*Minea and Pirena (kid)*

Minea: Pirena anak, kahit nandito na si Amihan, hindi mababawasan ang pagmamahal ko para sa iyo. At masmamahalin pa kita, kung matututunan mong tanggapin ang iyong kapatid. Magagawa mo ba iyon para sakin?
-----------
Pirena, holding the tungkod of Imaw, her left hand shook and her face looked sad.
She saw in the tungkod that when Pirena died, her sisters took care of her, and they worried about her.

Pirena ordered the tungkod to stop the scene, silently without talking. She put her hand with the tungkod down and cried, because of what she has done wrong.

***

Pirena walked around the forest. Then Cassiopeia saw her.

Cassiopeia: Pirena, malungkot ka.

Pirena: Matagal na panahon ako naging *****. Mabait ang aking ina. Ninais nya na maging mabuti ako. Mabait din ang mga kapatid ko. Kahit nagkamali ako sa kanila noon, napatawad pa rin nila ako at minahal. At hinayaan kong maubos ang pagmamahal na iyon. Tama ka Cassiopeia, bulag nga ako. Bulag na bulag.

Cassiopeia went around her.

Cassiopeia: May kanya-kanyang tadhana ang liwanag at dilim, Pirena. Matagal kang bilanggo ng kadiliman. Naglakad ka sa madilim na lagusan. At ngayon, narating mo na ang dulo o ang liwanag. Simula palang ito ng panibago mong paglalakbay, Pirena. Upang kamitin muli ang lahat ng nawala sa iyo.

Pirena cried.

Back to Sapiro...

Ybarro: Amihan!

He shouted, along with him the white ninja, Aquil. He put his sword near Aquil's neck.

Amihan, Danaya, Alena and Lira rushed to him.

Amihan: Anong nangyayari dito?! (What is happening here?)

Danaya saw Aquil.

Danaya: Sinaktan mo sya?! (You hurted him?!)

Ybarro: Dahil sya ay ang traydor na hinahanap natin. (Because he is the traitor we are looking for.)

??End Of Episode??

ABANGAN...

Pirena with Gurna*

Pirena: Bakit mo nagawa sakin ito, Gurna? Bakit mo ako pinalaki sa kasinungalingan?!

Gurna: Dahil gusto kitang maging reyna. Maging mataas. Kahit kailan, hindi natin natikman tayong mga magkahati ang dugo.

Pirena: Anong ibig mong sabihin? Anong sinasabi mong magkahati ang dugo?!
**
Pirena used the tungkod to release power, and it hit a tree.
**
Asval used his powers. Red magic show up. Then a chest is shown. Aquil is there with Asval.
**
Mira: Si Mila? Bakit mo naman iniisip si Mila?

Anthony: Mahal ko rin si Mila. Mahal na mahal.
***
Aquil: Patawarin mo ako. Sana ay mapatawad ninyo ako.

Danaya: Kailangan may ipagpatupad ang batas.

Alena: Anong batas iyon?

Danaya: And batas ng kamatayan.

Lira: Kaya mong ipapatay si Aquil, Ashti?

Danaya: Oo! Iyun lang ang nararapat sa traidor na kagaya niya.

{{{Didn't you guys notice? As I wrote, Aquil held the cantao, but didn't put it back in the table, but maybe instead, he hid it somewhere. That's why maybe Asval gave a chest with some treasures on it (in the ABANGAN). And Danaya wants to kill Aquil? Maybe, I think Aquil escaped, and go to Asval. Me too, I'm confused! Let's just see on November 14, Monday!}}}

Ang Pagsugod ng mga Diwata
Wednesday, November 9, 2005

The teaser is again shown in full. (My recorders still on the blink so these are merely snippets. AND I’M NOT REALLY SURE ABOUT THE NAMES OF THE THREE WARRIORS.HEHEHE…)

Cass voice-over with several transition shots (i didnt catch their sequence, so i just separated the descriptions from the voice-over:

A warrior cloaked with a moss-green cape approaches a tiny altar. His armor is frighteningly similar to the Kalasag Ybrahim uses. The warrior opens a large, intricately carved box placed on top and looks at the contents.

May mga pwersang hindi nalalabanan. (there are forces that cant be stopped)

May mga sumpa na hindi mapipigilan, mga sikretong mabubunyag. (there are curses that cant be prevented, secrets that will be revealed)

Doon sa gitna ng encantadia, sa lugar na di kayang abutin ng tanaw, lihim sa mga encantado, may kakaibang pintuan. (there, in the midst of enca, in a place hidden from the naked eye and unknown to encantados, lies a peculiar door)

Zooming in to the bare middle area of the encantadian map.

Isang lagusan tungo sa isang nasirang kaharian. (It is a passageway to a lost kingdom)

The voice over continues with a top shot of three warriors walking along a wood clearing: Mavus, a Lirean soldier; Xeno, a Sapirian warrior; and Eldrin, a Hathorian (probably a noble, as he is able to speak properly).

Mga kawal ng tatlong kaharian na may banal na layunin. (three warriors of the three kingdoms with a sacred duty)

Mavus complains of boredom, saying he’s tired of walking around aimlessly for thousands of years, waiting for disaster to strike. Xeno reasons out that they were the ones tasked to guard the future, as he gestures toward what looks like a colossal version of one of the medallions of Asnamon converted to a gate.

Xeno continues, saying that they must prevent anyone from passing through the gate so that peace may continue to reign in enca. They must remain vigilant. Mavus loses it, saying that he’s tired of it all, making special mention of Eldrin’s body odor.

Eldrin reacts violently and points his sword menacingly at Mavus when the gate suddenly spins rapidly. Yellow lightning emanates from the gate, then a liquid-like vortex appears, covering the gateway (this scene was so cool, I was frozen for minutes).

From behind the vortex, two red-cloaked, gold-masked figures walk into place, positioning themselves on either side of the doorway like bodyguards. Then another, apparently their master, walks to the center. It seems that these three were what the three champions were guarding. Both sides get ready for the confrontation.

Cass voice-over: Ito na ba ang sumpang nagbabanta sa enca? (Is this the threat to enca?)

She then brings our attention back to Sapiro, where Danaya was almost fooled into giving her jewel to Hagorn (disguised as a wounded Aquil). Danaya shouts at Hagorn, telling him the jig is up. Sensing failure, "Aquil" orbs out, leaving the real Aquil and Danaya to argue.

While Aquil says he’s happy that Danaya was able to avoid danger, Danaya retorts that his leaving was the reason why crystal was almost stolen. She proceeds to interrogate him, asking where he’s been and why he took so long to come back.

Aquil: Mayroon akong ginagawa para mabalik ang Lireo (I’m doing something to take back Lireo)

Cut to the mortal realm, Lira breaks herself from Yolanda’s embrace and hurries to leave when Anthony walks in (or rather out) and sees her (I wondered why he isn’t calling the police at this point, Lira is obviously a stranger who’s not only trespassing, but is also dressed for battle).

Intrigued by Aquil’s words and probably secretly worrying for his safety, Danaya asks Aquil about the methods he’s using and why he has to be gone for such a long time. Aquil apologizes, but he cant tell. He then walks off, leaving Danaya upset and mystified.

Anthony starts to ask Lira but she walks away, but then leaves abruptly (NANI???). Yolanda turns and asks Anthony if he doesn’t remember Mila at all. He seems to have known her from before, but cant remember when or where they met.

In Lireo, an injured "Aquil" orbs in, shapeshifts to Hagorn and stumbles on the throne steps, hurting from his self-inflicted wound and extremely weakened from shapeshifting. Agane sees him and rushes to his aid. He tells her of his failure as she lightly scolds him for using his taxing ability yet again as she accompanies the warlord to his room.

Seeing what transpired, Asval and Hitano enter and conclude that they must take action to help Hagorn take the remaining jewels.

Lira is about to open the portal when Anthony calls her (now, here is where I get confused. One scene they’re together, next Yolanda is asking Anthony why he doesn’t know Mila, then the next scene Lira is back at the garden again. Nani??). He asks her if Mila is really her name. Surprised, Mila asks if he doesn’t know her at all (Di mo na ba ako kilala?). He confirms it, and we can almost hear Lira’s heart break. Anthony is asking who she is and what’s she doing in his house when he spies the rolled-up parchment in her hands.

In Sapiro, Amihan is pacing back and forth in anger, saying that Hagorn is just giving them more reason to strike back, and with Aquil’s return, they can now launch a counterattack. Alena disagrees, saying that Lira still hasn’t returned. Amihan argues that with the delays, they’re just giving Hagorn a chance to get what he wants.

Aquil tries to dissuade Amihan as well, but Danaya answers in anger, asking why does it seem like he doesn’t want to win the war (not sure about this, sorry). Amihan loses her patience and mockingly tells Aquil to stay and guard the keep if he wants to. They’ll bring Muros in his place.

While Aquil silently regrets his decision, Danaya gives him a last nasty look before joining her sisters in preparation for battle. Wantuk hands Amihan her sword while Apek gives Alena her spear. The three of them, Ybrahim and Muros orb out in a rainbow swirl of colors.

In the mortal realm, Mila takes the parchment and gives it to Anthony, thinking aloud why he possesses such a scroll (she knows the language is in enchanta). When Anthony’s expression changes, Lira catches herself and says a friend saw him carry it so she assumed its his. Her expression then changes to one of deep, thoughtful sadness. She bids Anthony to always love and take care of Mira. As she rushes off to open the vortex, she takes one last look at Anthony, who is now thoroughly confused (what’s new?) .

Near the brook, Pirena worries about Gurna’s wound. Gurna assures her that it will heal eventually. Pirena reminds her about the herb that she supposedly used, offering to get it for Gurna. A panicked Gurna stutters and makes up a lame excuse about the herb being gone. All too quickly she assures Pirena that she’ll soon be good as new. Pirena wonders privately if Gurna is telling the truth about who healed her.

In Lireo, Asval et al. are preparing for an attack on Lireo when the sanggres orb in. After a stinging exchange of greetings between Amihan and Asval, the battle begins. Ybrahim goes after Axilom with his round hand blades while Danaya is fighting with Bandok. Alena and Muros are handling one and two hathors, respectively while Amihan and Asval face off. The others are doing fine as Amihan manages to knock Asval off balance.

Inside the mansion, Anthony is inspecting the parchment, trying to decipher the meaning of the strange glyphs written on it. He then remembers back when he first acquired it, remembering the names Raquim and Amihan (apparently selective ang memory charm na ginamit ni Mira, lahat lang ng tungkol sa enca. Pero I wonder, bakit natatandaan pa niya yung parchment at si Mira mismo?).

Mira, who has just entered the room, is alarmed to see the parchment in his hands. She instinctively asks him where he got it and who gave it to him. His answer and subsequent question unsettles her even more: how come the entire household knows who Mila is, but he doesn’t?

Mira tries to dismiss the issue, saying that Mila is just an ordinaryong being, a maid employed by their neighbor and that they shouldn’t talk about her as she’s not there with them.

Inside Hagorn’s room, Agane is still fussing over a seated Hagorn when Hitano enters and warns him of the battle outside. Agane tells Hagorn that this is his chance to make up for his earlier failure. Hagorn gets pumped up and orders everyone to battle.

Outside, the sanggres have the three dogs (Asval et al.) cornered. Hagorn comes out just as the diwatas are about enter the palace. Amihan orders him to surrender, saying that his forces are weakening. Hagorn laughs boisterously, and reminds Amihan that he still has the Fire Jewel, which he brandishes. He then quickly hurls a fireball at them.

The sanggres scatter, with Danaya summoning an uber-cool-looking shield around her. Amihan and Hagorn face off using their powers. Amid the confusion, Ybrahim (at least, I think it was Ybrahim) grabs Asval. Amihan sees this and orders a quick retreat (HA!!! BELAATTT!!!! BUTI NGA SAYO ).

Back in Sapiro, Imaw seems to be putting together a magical potion inside a mortal and pestle, when he exclaims:

Imaw: Malapit ko nang makuha ang sikreto ni Lira sa pagluto ng sinigang!!!! (Ha!!! A little bit more, and I will soon discover Lira’s secret in making sinigang!!!).

Suddenly, Pirena orbs in, and Imaw poises for an attack. She quickly assures the old Adamyan, saying that she only came there to borrow his staff as she needs to make sure of something in her past. Imaw smartly refuses to hand it over and instead asks her what she wants to know. She wants to know who really healed her. (This sanggre is so smart, alam niya ang kapangyarihan at gamit ng isang "rewind"). Imaw shows her: The scene with Lira and Danaya plays out.

The impact of the shock forces Pirena to sit down. She reels in the discovery, then becomes fuming mad as she realizes that Gurna lied to her (I’m so going to love tonight’s epi).

Back in the "secret garden," the three-on-three battle is still on, with Mavus shouting out their vow never to let enca fall into the hands of the Etherians.

"Sumumpa kaming hinding hindi mapupunta sa kamay ng mga Etherian ang Encantadia!!!!"

Mavus faces off with the leader of the three Etherians while Xeno(?) and Eldrin take on the two red-cloaked minions. And despite their very agile fighting moves, only the master managed to overpower his enemy. He wounds Mavus on the left arm (why do they always do that?), then sends a bolt of yellow lighting from his hand to stun the two other champions.

The two minions approach their master, who casually hands his sword over to one of them while merely glancing at a wounded and weak Mavus. He then suddenly turns around holding the same intricately carved box seen in the teasers in his hands. The three Etherians then leave while the three fallen champions are left powerless and defeated. They then look at the open door, and a sense of dark foreboding fills the air. (The tension is so thick you could cut through it with a knife, really.)

Kabanata 137: Si Lira at Mira

Sapiro:
The sang’gres are talking about Lira. Amihan scolded Danaya for she didn’t try to stop Lira from leaving. She told them that she will go to the mortal world to follow her daughter. Ybrahim wanted to go too but Imaw stopped them. He told them to trust Lira.

Imaw: “ Babalik yun sa Encantadia. Para sa Encantadia.”

Amihan and Ybrahim stared at each other, still worried.

Mortal World:
Lira was crying. Mira then came and she was shocked to learn that Lira is there. Lira asked Mira if Anthony is the one that Mira love. Lira then told Mira that she saw what happened to Mira and Anthony a while ago.

Mira: “ Galit ka ba dahil mahal niya ako?”

Lira: “ Hindi, hindi ako dapat magalit sa iyo o sa kanya. Natutuwa nga ako kasi pareho ko kaung mahal. Alam kong mas karapat dapat ka niyang mahalin kesa sa akin.”

Then they hugged while both of them are crying.

A place in Encantadia:
Pirena was looking for Mira when Cass appeared. Cass told her that Mira had gone back to the mortal world. Pirena then said to her that it’s true that only Gurna is her ally. But Cass didn’t agree to what Pirena had said. Cass said to her that up to now Pirena still didn’t learn her own lesson.

Cass: “ Dahil sa paghahangad mo ng kapangyarihan ay nabubulagan ka.”




Mortal World:
Lira and Mira were talking about Anthony. Lira then asked Mira if she could see Anthony and if she could talk to him. But Mira refused. She also told Lira not to visit the mortal world again.

A place in Encantadia:
Pirena and Gurna were talking. Pirena told Gurna that Cass had told her something.


Mortal World:
Yolanda was talking to Anthony. She told Anthony that he seems unhappy.

Anthony: “ Masaya naman ako. Pero parang may kulang.”

Then Yolanda mentioned Mila. Anthony asked her who Mila is. Then Yolanda wondered.

A place in Encantadia:
Gurna told Pirena not to listen to Cass. She said that Amihan will just use her to get Lireo back.




Lireo:
Hagorn and Agane were talking. Hagorn said that he will go to Sapiro. Agane tried to stop him but Hagorn had made a decision. He said that he has a plan. Orb out.

Mortal World:
Yolanda and the other maid were talking on what happened to Anthony. They are wondering on why Anthony can’t remember Mila.

Mortal World:
Lira is still crying when Mira came to offer her a glass of water. But Lira said that she is going home. Mira didn’t try to stop her. She asked Lira to tell Pirena that she is sorry for she is not going back to Lireo. Lira asked Mira to take good care of Anthony. And Mira promised her that she will.

Sapiro:
Apek and Wantuk were teasing Danaya. They were asking her if she is waiting for Aquil, the man she loves. But Danaya denied, she told them that she is not in love with Aquil. She ordered the two to leave her alone.

Mortal World:
Lira was going to say “Asnamon Voyanazar” when Yolanda saw her. Yolanda called her attention.



Mortal World:
Lira stopped. She and Yolanda had a talk.

Sapiro:
Hagorn appeared. Shape shift as Aquil. He wounded himself then cried for help. Danaya came to rescue him. She let her gem to appear so she can heal “Aquil”. “Aquil” asked her if she will entrust her gem to him. She said yes. Then Danaya decided to give the gem to him but fortunately the real Aquil appears. Then Danaya move away from “Aquil.”


Abangan Bukas:

--> Anthony and Lira face to face. Anthony is asking who Mila is.
--> Amihan told Aquil that they will go to Lireo and fight the hathors even if Lira is not yet there. Aquil doesn’t agree to what Amihan said.
--> Amihan and the others are fighting the Hathors in Lireo.
--> Pirena in Sapiro asking the help of Imaw for her to find out if Gurna is saying the truth or not. She saw that Danaya was the one who cured her.
-->Anthony is reading the parchment. He mentioned the name of Amihan and Raquim.
-->Cass on the background saying something. (I think Cass is saying something about the contents of the parchment)

Kabanata 136:
ANG PAGLISAN
Monday, November 07, 2005

Lira is still interrogating Wantuk and Apek, asking where they saw Anthony. Wantuk replies that they saw him and Mira walking in the woods. Apek foolishly adds that Mira must’ve taken them to the mortal realm because Mira knows Amihan doesn’t want her to see Anthony. Lira reels in shock of the betrayal.

Feeling the effects of the love potion-spiked juice, Anthony sees Mira in a new, lovestruck light. He looks deeply into her eyes and tells her he never noticed how beautiful she was.

Mira: Mas maganda kesa kay mila? (More beautiful than Mila?)
Anthony: Mila? Wala akong kilalang Mila. (Mila? I don’t know any Mila?)
Mira: Hindi mo kilala si mila? (You don’t know any Mila?)
Anthony: Wala akong pakialam kahit sino pa siya. Isa lang ang gusto kong makilala. Ikaw. (I don’t care who she is. There’s only one person I want to get to know. You.)

Back in Sapiro, Lira presses the two for answers. Apek continues to fumble and insists that her mother and ashtis only want her to fulfill her destiny as Queen of Lireo. Lira understands, but adds that she hopes that they will also understand what she’s about to do. She then runs toward the entrance of the Sapirian keep.

In Lireo, Asval has just healed Agane, who wakes up furious at Amihan. Hagorn comforts her, vowing vengeance. When Hitano asks how, he brings out the Fire Jewel and uses it to “punish” the sanggres.

Back in Sapiro, the beauteous Danaya is sleeping when Lira sneaks in and takes the medallion from a wooden box placed near the bed. She glances and whispers a goodbye to her ashti when Danaya wakes up and asks Aquil’s whereabouts. She starts to worry when Lira says:

Nakakalungkot talaga pag wala sa tabi mo ang taong malapit sayo diba ashti? (It really is sad when the one close to you isn’t by your side, isn’t it, ashti?)

Cut to the mortal realm, it’s in slow motion as Anthony moves in to kiss Mira. A fade-in voice over of Lira continuing her dialogue about missing a loved one. Danaya snorts a rebuff of her statement.

Lira: Yan lang an sinasabi mo pero hindi yan ang nararamdaman ng puso mo. Gusto mo kasing gawing kontrolado. Ayaw mong ibigay sa iba. Ganyan ka katigas ashti. (You only say that even if that’s not how you truly feel because you want control. You don’t want to open your heart to anyone. That’s how stubborn you are, ashti).

And despite Danaya’s insistence that Lira should never think about the mortal realm again, Lira maintains that there will always be a little voice inside her…
Lira: … at hindi iyo para sa enca. Alam mo kung para kanino yun. Alam kong alam niyo

Lira then vanishes leaving her ashti pondering her words. Danaya gets a very accurate hunch of Lira’s plans, and checks the box. The absence of the medallion inside confirms her notion, and Danaya begins to really worry.

Somewhere near a brook, Pirena is interrogating Gurna about who really healed her.

In Sapiro, Danaya had just told Ybrahim about her (very accurate) notion that Lira went back to the mortal realm to follow Anthony. Ybrahim asks who Anthony is. Danaya tells. Apek adds that she also brought the parchment that he had with him. Ybrahim asks about the parchement, but Apek and Wantuk don’t know.

The conversation is abruptly halted when they notice a hail of meteors coming from the direction of Lireo.

Cut back to the interrogation. Gurna (the lying witch) insists that she was the one who healed Pirena, sticking with her healing-herb story. She asks Pirena who told her that Danaya healed her. Pirena answered. Gurna chides Pirena, launching a major guilt trip on the sanggre of fire (why would you believe Lira, Danaya hates you, she’d rather see you dead while I’ve always been by your side, etc. I don’t want to remember what she said baka uminit na naman ang ulo ko).

Manang Rosing is about to go into the living room when she sees Anthony and Mira. He tells Manang Rosing that he and Mira are now a couple. The mayor doma begins to react violently when Anthony stops her, saying that he loves Mira and wont have her talking like that.

Ybrahim bellows them to seek shelter but a stunned Danaya remains outside. The initial attack falls down and injures her.

Meanwhile, Lira enters the vortex into the Anthony’s garden and closes the portal.

Cut back to Sapiro. Amid the impact of the meteors, Ybrahim rushes out and pulls the injured Danaya back to the keep. Alena prods them to go inside, then goes out alone. She creates a water shield around the Sapiryan keep and stops the attack dead in its tracks. (O diba ang taray ng ashti mo? ).

Hagorn sees what she’s done and becomes enraged. Asval once more reiterates that they’re going to need one more jewel to win this war. Hagorn begins to hatch his next plan.

Danaya has just finished healing herself when Amihan comes in, apparently clueless as to what just happened. Danaya reassures her older sister and Alena enters to report that the hail-fire has been dealt with. A fuming Amihan orders a counterattack when Danaya stops her, saying that Aquil isn’t back yet and they need him. Alena agrees.

Amihan reasons out that they don’t need Aquil as Lira is with them. Then Danaya breaks the bad news. Amihan promptly explodes (figuratively, of course).

Back in the mortal realm Mira in spacing out in the garden when Anthony comes and reassures her, telling her to take no notice of anything Manang Rosing says. Mira replies that the only opinion that matters to her is his opinion. She asks him if what he said was true.

Anthony walks to Mira’s side with his back to Lira, who has just seen them and is now approaching. Anthony repeats his declaration of love, within earshot of Lira. Relieved, Mira tells him that she has loved him from the start. She and Anthony embrace. Lira hears the exchange and is both shocked and pained (at least, that’s the impression that I got from her facial expression).

Kabanata 134:
SI PIRENA AT LIRA
Thursday, November 3, 2005

Gurna is being held by two hathors when Hagorn arrives. Asval greets him. Hagorn asks about the prisoners. Asval has already taken the necessary precautions and readied troops in case Amihan attempts a rescue.

Hagorn turns to Gurna and mockingly thanks her for if not for her, Pirena wouldn’t have been captured. Gurna then asks if she can have her freedom, which she exchanged for information on Pirena. Hagorn refuses. He knows that if he lets Gurna go, she’ll just find a way to free Pirena.

The three sanggres arrive at Sapiro. After and exchange of greetings, Amihan tells Ybrahim the bad news. He springs to action, and asks for Amihan’s and Aquil’s help in rescuing his daughter.

Inside the Lirean dungeons, Lira is calling Anthony’s name. Pirena overhears and asks who Anthony is. Pirena chides Lira when she becomes happy to see her.

Pirena: Kalokohan! (Madness!!!)
Lira: Kalokohan bang sundan si Mira? (Is it madness to follow Mira?)
Pirena: Nasaan ang aking anak? (Where's my daughter?)
Lira: Ewan ko, nakatakas ata... (I dunno. I think she managed to escape...)
Pirena: (smirks) Mas matalino talaga sayo si Mira… (She really is smarter than you..)

Pirena insists that she doesn’t need Lira’s help. Lira insists that they have to help each other. Pirena ponders for a moment, then tells Lira that she figured out that Hagorn will ask for Amihan’s jewel in exchange for her life.

Wantuk is walking in the forest with the scroll in his right pocket. He and Apek discuss the events going on between Mira, Lira, and Anthony. Apek pities Lira’s plight, not knowing the love of her life is in enca and her kin conspiring against her (re: Amihan, Alena, Danaya).

He pulls out the scroll and begins to look at it. Apek comes nearer and looks at it as well. Neither understand a word of it. Cass appears a fair distance behind them and smiles as she sees the parchment.

In the mortal realm amidst blinding rain, the three are unconscious as Mira closes the portal. She then takes out the green bottle and sprinkles the contents over the them. She chants a spell, telling them to forget all that they saw and experienced in enca.

Yolanda, who was taking out the trash, sees the three and asks why they’re there, telling them that Carmen has been worried sick. After a few more arguments, Yolanda bids the three to come inside the house.

Lira and Pirena continue to argue, with Lira insisting that Amihan should never give up her jewel for the greater good and Pirena telling Lira that she’s just like her mother.

(This isn’t the precise dialogue, merely rough estimates of what the characters said)

Pirena: Mana ka sa Ashti danaya mo. Matigas ang kalooban maliban na lamang pagdating sa mga mahal sa buhay (You take after your Ashti Danaya. Hard-headed except when it comes to her loved ones)
Lira: Mabuti na yung ganito, di tulad ng iba diyan. Kayang magmatigas kahit sa mga mahal sa buhay. (I'd rather be like this than like other people who remain stubborn, even with their loved ones)

In the mortal world, Mira throws away the medallion in the garden while hoping that Lira, her mom, and all of enca forgive her for what she‘s done

Amihan and the rest of the sanggres are preparing for their rescue mission when Asval orbs in front of them. Amihan guesses that they want her jewel. Asval corrects her, saying that they need all 3 remaining gems in exchange for both Lira and Pirena. Danaya is shocked to hear that Pirena is also being held. He repeats the ransom note even as Ybrahim and Aquil hold swords against his throat (slime ball, grabeng magdemand).

After Asval orbs out, Amihan declares her intention to give up her jewel, much to the chagrin of both Danaya and Alena.

The three mortals are having their much-needed supper when Yolanda briefly mentions enca. Anthony and Manang Rosing flare up, insisting that enca isn’t real. Apparently they really have forgotten everything about enca.

Lira is still struggling when Pirena scolds her, saying that whatever they do they can’t escape. Lira is answering back when Gurna enters the dungeon/tunnel comes beats up the lone Hathor guard. While freeing Pirena, Gurna asks forgiveness, promising to make up for her mistake.

Pirena is free and is being pulled by Gurna when Lira pleads for them to free her. Pirena hesitates, and seems to want to free Lira when Gurna butts in, saying that Hagorn would prefer having her there. Faced with time and the urgency of Gurna’s words, Pirena orbs out with Gurna, leaving Lira behind.

Inside Sapiro, Danaya, Alena, and Ybrahim (well, mostly Ybrahim and Danaya) are arguing about Amihan’s decision. The two sisters are adamant about refusing to give the jewel. It would mean the end of their race and of enca. Ybrahim argues that the jewel is still recoverable, but Lira’s life can’t be taken back. Aquil enters, and Ybrahim asks where Amihan is. Aquil doesn’t know, saying that he was bringing the queen to her to her room when she orbed out. Danaya begins to panic.

In the mortal realm, they are still talking about how the three ended up missing and coming back all at the same time when Mira arrives (looking quite fabulous in a white halter top and a denim mini skirt )

Just as Lira begins to lose hope, Pirena and Gurna orb back. She’s extremely glad…

(Again, these are just rough estimates of the their actual conversation)

Lira: Konting pray-over nalang matatanggal na yang evil spirit sa katawan mo!!!
Pirena: Hindi tulong ito. Isipin mo nalang na paunang bayad yan sa pagtulong mo sa akin noon.

Lira is gazing fondly at her Ashti. Gurna gives her a nasty, jealous look as Pirena orbs them out.

Amihan arrives at the palace. As soon as the coast is clear, she calls Area, who resents being treated like a servant. Amihan pleads with Area to help in finding Lira. They both orb out.

Hagorn is pacing outside the palace when Asval comes and tells him the good news. Hagorn chuckles mockingly, saying that Lira is all it takes for them to give the jewels.

All of a sudden Pirena appears behind him, takes the Kabilan and slashes him down to the ground.
Just before the final blow is struck, Gurna appears and shouts at Pirena to stop. Pirena asks why.

Gurna: Dahil siya ang ama mo!!! (Because he's your father!!)
Pirena: Anong siya ang aking ama?!?!?!?! (What do you mean he's my father?!?!?!)

Asval, meanwhile, is frozen in place (probably contemplating his next move) as he looks on.

Kabanata 133:
NANG MASILO SI LIRA
Wednesday, November 2, 2005

Lira wakes up from Hitano’s slap, tied to a piece of wood. Hagorn confronts her and curses are exchanged. Hagorn can’t understand some of her vocabulary but he senses that they can’t be good. Lira tries to orb, but cant. Hagorn then arrogantly proceeds to instruct her in the nuances of her orbing powers. Hagorn leaves her to Hitano, who approaches with obviously foul intent.

Meanwhile, Area is standing in the middle of a pool (posing?) when she sees Mira. They exchange pleasantries and Area tells her that Amihan sent her to find and bring them to Sapiro. Area notices that Lira isn’t with her. Mira tells Area that Lira was captured by Bandok et al. and is now being held captive.

Area reacts, mockingly asks if Mira did nothing. Mira relies that she lost her power and couldn’t do anything. Area tries to get Mira to come with her but the latter refused, saying she has more important matters to attend to. Area is surprised and puzzled, but lets her go.

Back in Sapiro, Aquil is in the middle of nursing his wound when Ybrahim arrives. The former warrior sees him. Aquil takes his sword and pretends to clean it. Ybrahim approves, saying that their weapons must always be ready. Aquil agrees and adds:

“Hindi lang ang armas kundi pati ang ating sarili (not only our weapons, but also ourselves). Lahat tayo ay may tadhanang dapat tuparin. Anuman ang kapalit. (We all have destinies to fulfill. No matter what the cost)”

Ybrahim goes off to search for Mira and Lira. Aquil attends to his wound while looking at him.

Mira arrives and sees whom she came for: Cass, who is kneeled and seems to be communing with nature. Cass tells her that the people she is looking for are still where she last saw them.

Cass adds that they are dying and that enca is not for mortals. Mira says she must bring them back to the mortal realm but Anthony will always yearn for Lira. Cass asks about the potion. Mira unhappily tells her that Anthony didn’t drink it.

Mira says that Lira and Anthony must never meet, and that Lira is needed in enca more than her. She implores Cass to help her. Cass gives Mira a pink/purplish bottle of something and a green bottle of powder, saying that the stuffs will make the three forget all their experiences in enca.

As payment, Cass asks for the scroll that Anthony has with him, adding that it is important to both her and enca. She instructs Mira to leave the scroll behind when she brings the three back to the mortal realm.

In Lireo, Hagorn is writing something (I wonder what) when he senses someone approaching from behind. It is Gurna carrying a dagger (idiot…). Gurna attempts to stab Hagorn in the back but the Hathorian King catches her and calls for backup. Asval and Bandok come and he instructs them to behead Gurna outside the palace. Gurna pleads for her life.

Anthony wakes up with a nosebleed. He sloppily wipes off the blood and wakes the two up. He tells them that they must find shelter for the night. Manang Rosing sees his bleeding nose and worries her head off. The three try to find food as Banjo is already weak from hunger.

The three see Mira approach, with Banjo warning against her. Anthony trusts her and asks if she found Milagros, adding that they area also looking for Sapiro. Mira denies it, asking why they are looking for the kingdom. Anthony shows her the necklace, imploring her to bring them there.

Mira tries to dissuade them, with both Banjo and Manang Rosing agreeing. Anthony remains adamant, telling her to take Manang Rosing and Banjo back if she wants to, but not him. Left with no choice, Mira sprays them with the sleeping powder Cass gave.

In the Lirean dungeons, Lira struggles, but Hitano tells her it is futile. A heated argument ensues between them until Hitano loses it and slaps her. Lira vows that death isn’t enough to make Hitano and Hagorn pay for what they did and that she, her mother and ashtis will have their vengeance. Hitano shuts her up with a blow to the stomach.

Amihan walks up to Area who is standing atop a rock near the falls. Area reports that she didn’t see Lira but met Mira and from her heard bad news. Amihan asks. Area hesitates but Amihan senses that the news is about Lira. Area reports what happened to Lira. The three sanggres are shocked, Amihan in disbelief.

In Lireo, an expectant Pirena hears Gurna’s call and inquires what happened. “Gurna” brandishes the Fire Jewel. Pirena starts to approach when Asval and Axilom come and hold her captive.

Back in the falls, Amihan asks where Mira is. Area knows nothing. Amihan is all pumped up and ready to go a-rescuing when both Alena and Danaya stop her, saying that the enemy probably has something planned and they need to be patient and think about their actions (maganda sana ang exchange nila dito especially Amihan’s dialogue but my recorder is on the blink). They can’t afford to lose both her and Lira. They need a plan.

Apek and Wantuk are walking (probably foraging for berries or firewood) when they spot several figures. It is Mira searching the three unconscious mortal. Mira finds the scroll on Anthony and throws it a fair distance away. Apek and Wantuk approach and pick up the scroll. (Not sure about this part, basta ang alam ko lang kinuha nina Wantuk yung scroll).

Pirena is still struggling against Asval and Bandok. She curses Asval, calling him every insult imaginable and finishes with a spitball. “Gurna” apologizes to Pirena as the Sapiryans take her away. “Gurna” then transforms into Hagorn, who agonizes over what he has once more done to his beloved daughter.

In Sapiro, Ybrahim is inspecting his kantao when Aquil comes in and asks what he’s looking at the bracelet for. Ybrahim replies that he is wondering at the sort of powers his kantao is still hiding, so much that someone would want to steal it.

Aquil sits down next to him, replying that perhaps for the mysterious attacker, gaining the kantao would be for the good of all, and that he (ninja) won’t stop until he gets it. Ybrahim, sensing something fishy in Aquil’s words, looks at the captain of the royal guard suspiciously.

Back in the Lirean dungeons, a defiant Pirena is stunned to see a bound and unconscious Lira. Hitano boasts that Lira couldn’t handle his tortures, causing her to end up like that. Pirena loses it and screams that they will taste Amihan’s bitter revenge for what they did to her daughter.

Asval retorts that they are ready for anything Amihan can come up with, adding that it was only a matter of time before all the elemental jewels are in their hands.

After Asval leaves, Pirena looks at Lira with surprising concern and affection. (Awww, I loved this part!!!!!!! )

Kabanata 132:
ANG TAKSIL
Tuesday, November 1, 2005

While Asval is cavorting with two encantadas, Pirena morphs into Axilom, approaches Asval and is about to stab him when the encantadas see and try to warn Asval. Pirena is about to get away with it when the real Axilom enters the room. She changes to her real form.

Lira and Mira manage to enter the palace proper after defeating the gate guards. Agane sees the two and decides to wait for the right moment to attack.

Back to the three mortals, Anthony falters (pathetic, grabe), still determined to get to Sapiro. Banjo and Manang Rosing help him up, looking pathetic themselves. He decides that they should rest. Cass continues to watch the three bumbling mortals.

While on their way to lavanea, the sanggre’s see two Ascano (?) women in danger from the lava flow. Alena comes and uses the Water Jewel to cool the lava down. The two women thank the sanggres. Amihan worries for the other sanggres, prompting Alena to suggest calling her Kambal Diwa Area. Amihan follows the advice and tells Area (who already knows what she’s gonna say) to bring her daughters and estranged sister to Sapiro. All four orb out in an almost rainbow swirl of colors (I just had to include this. It’s soo cool!!!).

Ybrahim is in the woods and washes his face in a spring when he senses the ninja who had been hiding in the treetop. He readies himself and the ninja uses a grappling hook to try to disarm Ybrahim. The attempt backfires and the ninja falls from the tree. The two go at it again.

Back in Lireo, Pirena is in the middle of kicking Asval and Axilom’s butts when Hagorn enters. He brandishes the Fire Jewel while taunting Pirena (Pashnea!!!), much to Pirena’s disbelief.

Meanwhile, Ybrahim wounds the ninja on the left arm but the ninja uses a smoke bomb t escape (I shouldve known na si Aquil nga to the moment he used that weapon, but I didnt).

Pirena shouts her disbelief, but Hagorn tells her to look at the scar that the Kabilan left on her right hand. She once more demands that he give back the jewel, but Hagorn refuses, saying that he isn’t stupid to give the jewel of Hathoria back in the hands of the sanggres.

Cass approaches the now sleeping mortals in an apparent attempt to kill them, for they will only serve as distractions to Lira. She is about to strike Anthony when she notices something glowing near his left leg. She draws the hem and sees the parchment (which miraculously, remains immaculate and uncrumpled) tied to his left calf. She tries to take it but hesitates (WHY?) and leaves.
Now it’s Pirena who’s on the defensive. Hagorn says her revival was a huge mistake. Sensing defeat, Pirena orbs out, and Hagorn orders a search of the palace.

Meanwhile, the three sisters reach lavanea and try to stop the volcano’s wrath with their jewels, but the Fire Jewel informs Hagorn of their actions, and he orders it to fight the “power of three”. The volcano responds, causing another enca-shaking eruption.

The impact is felt all the way to Lireo. Lira tells Mira that they must hurry and approach Agane’s hiding place. She attacks from behind and knocks Lira out in one hit. Mira tries to use her powers but

Danaya (I cant really remember said this exactly, kaya inattribute ko na lang kay Danaya) says that Lavanea will only obey the Fire Jewel. They all combine their powers: Amihan freezes the water that Alena summons while Danaya plugs the top of the volcano with earth.

Gurna is preparing something when Pirena appears. Gurna is shocked, but joyous as she addresses Pirena. All of a sudden Pirena embraces her, shocking her even more.

In the tribe of the Ajantao, Ybrahim thanks Agimat et al. for their invaluable help (re: the Gantao) in Lira’s quest. Wahid senses Ybrahims restlessness and inquires. Ybrahim tells Wahid his worries about the ninja, adding that he managed to wound the mysterious attacker.

Speaking of whom, the ninja stumbles through the woods, still hurting from Ybrahim’s attack. Exhausted, he leans on his right against a tree. He then removes his hood. OMG it’s Aquil!!!!! (Sorry about that, nagulat lang talaga ako e).

Agane continues to mock Mira when Bandok and Axilom arrive, hurling more insults upon the two princesses. Mira shouts and the four begin to approach her. Mira orbs out. Agane tells the two to take Lira to Hagorn, saying it will be a fine gift for the Hathorian King. Bandok lifts Lira while Axilom takes the Avatar.

Mira reappers and tries to look for Lira. She is so screwed.

Recovering, Gurna subtly pushes Pirena away. The former queen asks for Gurna’s help in taking back the Fire Jewel. Gurna promises nothing, but she’ll do what she can. Gurna then inquires how Pirena was revived. She tells her that it was Lira who was responsible. Gurna concludes that Pirena now owes Lira a lot. Pirena agrees.

Gurna turns aggressive, mockingly asks Pirena if she’s gonna return to the light. Pirena turns defensive and “orders” Gurna to do as she’s told. Gurna reluctantly obeys, though there’s still a glint of something in her eyes. Gurna pushes her away. Distract hagorn Im not promising anything but will do what I can…

In hiding, Mira picks up a sword conveniently lying on the ground, apparently contemplating her rescue plan. Suddenly she remembers their (hers and Lira’s) conversation about Anthony. A tear escapes from her eye. She asks for Lira’s forgiveness and orbs out, leaving Lira in the hands of the enemy.

Inside the Lirean war room, Gurna eavesdrops on the conversation as Hagorn tells Asval that they need more jewels to increase their chances of winning the war. Agane enters, saying that they will have an easier time getting Amihan’s jewel. Hagorn asks how, Agane answers through Lira as Bandok enters carrying the young heiress.

Kabanata 131:
ANG POOT NG BRILYANTE
October 31, 2005

In limbo, Hagorn shows the fire jewel to Arde and Hitano. Arde tells Hagorn that he must own up to his side of the bargain and make Arde the sole (highest) deity in encantadia. Hagorn tells Arde that he will keep his word. Satisfied with the King’s answer, Arde then says goodbye and turns back into a dragon.

In Sapiro, Aquil tells Danaya that the sun is shining brightly but it seems she is not happy. Danaya tells him that it is because of Pirena, and that she feels she can never trust her eldest sister, Amihan and Alena.

Aquil: Ako ba’y pinagkatiwalaan mo?
Danaya: Alam mo na ang sagot diyan. Pinaglingkuran mo kami mula pa sa aking Ynang Reyna.

Somewhere in the forest, Pirena calls for Gurna but finds Cassiopeia instead. Pirena moves away from Cassiopeia but the first queen of Lireo continues to follow the sang'gre of fire. Cassiopeia chides her for her attitude, telling Pirena that she must be humble and warning her that this attitude will only lead her to nothing and harm (kapahamakan).

After the conversation, Pirena turns away from Cassiopeia but before she can take a step, Mira and Lira appear before her. Lira asks her Ashti Pirena to come back with them to Sapiro. Pirena gets angry and slaps Lira's face. Pirena then walks away. Cassiopeia walks towards the two sang'gres and tells Lira that Pirena will be her greatest challenge.

Back to the two lovebirds, Aquil tells Danaya that her beauty also shines like the sun. Danaya secretly smiles but after a moment, she moves away from Aquil and tells him that their conversation is very serious but he's ruining it because of such sentiments. The sang'gre of earth then says he has an attitude, adding the requisite 'I love you!!!!' while walking away. Aquil smiles because of what he heard from Danaya.

Hagorn and Hitano arrive at Lireo. Asval and Agane welcome him warmly and Hagorn tells them about his victory in claiming the Fire Jewel. The planned victory party is in full swing inside the Lirean throne room as Hagorn boasts of the challenges he faced, and his eventual victory.

He shows the Hathors the Fire Jewel and orders them to celebrate. While the Hathors are celebrating, Hagorn sits in the throne shows off some more by telling it to display its awesome power to strike fear in the hearts of the sanggres. The volcano (lavanea) explodes, and is felt by everyone in enca.

Back to the mortals, Manang Rosing, Anthony and Banjo are walking when they are suddenly thrown in the middle of lavanea’s wrath.

The eruption is felt all the way to Sapiro. Lira, Mira, Cassiopeia, and Pirena feel the volcano’s wrath. The diwatas are in the midst of supper when they feel the eruption, suspecting it to be caused by the Fire Jewel.

Pirena picks up her feet and tells herself that it must be Hagorn who's causing the volcano to erupt.

In the other part of the forest, Lira asks what is happening. Cassiopeia tells Lira about the eruption. Mira asks how it happened if the fire gem is not in the care of her mother. Cassiopeia tells them that it must be Hagorn who's ordering the fire gem to make the volcano erupt but only Pirena will be able to take back the Fire Jewel. Cassiopeia then disappears. Lira tells Mira that they should find Pirena and help her get back the jewel. Lira runs away hurriedly and Mira follows her.

Aquil tells Ybarro that the fire gem is starting to unleash its power. Ybarro says that he doesn't want to think about that. Wantuk and Apek enter and Wantuk tells Ybarro that they are ready for the trip. Aquil asks where they are going and Ybarro answers that they're going to the Ajantao to check with the people there as well as return the Gantao. Ybarro then leaves with Wantuk.

Manang Rosing continues to tell Banjo that Encantadia is a weird place. Anthony arrives and informs his companions about the eruption and tells them to continue walking.

Lira is walking in the forest and Mira follows her. Mira sees Anthony, Manang Rosing and Banjo heading towards their direction. She then told Lira to go to Lireo because they might find Pirena there. They teleport. Anthony looks from afar and Manang Rosing tells them to go on.

Alena and Danaya meet Amihan and told their sister about what happened. The three sisters discuss about the gem of fire. Amihan tells her sisters that they should look for Pirena, Mira and Lira.

As they approach the gates of the Lirean palace, Lira tells Mira that she looks sad and asks why.

Mira: anong gagawin mo pag nakita mo si Anthony?
Lira: isa pa yan sa problema ko. Matapos lang paghahanap natin kay ashti pirena? Hahanapin ko si anthony kung andito nga siya.
Mira: kahit alam mong bawal?
Lira: hindi ko iniisip na bawal, basta ang mahalaga makita ko siya

The Hathors continue to celebrate and Pirena sees them.

Anthony, Manang Rosing and Banjo realize that the ash-fall has stopped. Anthony prods them to go on but his companions are getting weaker. Anthony says that they will get even weaker if they just stay there. Then, Anthony collapses.

Outside the Lirean palace, Lira and Mira attack the guards.

Inside the palace, Asval is cavorting with two encantadas. Pirena sees them. One of the women is getting something while Asval and the other woman are lying on the bed. Pirena then morphs into Axilom and enters the room with a short sword, poised to stab Asval.
