Episode 2: Homecoming

Amihan is brought to Lireo by Aquil and his companion. Imaw tells her that Encantadia is real and that the queen wants to see her. Inang Reyna meets Amihan in the throne room and says she is her mother. Pirena enters and refuses to accept Amihan as her sister, but her mother convinces her to do so.

Gurna, Pirena's lady-in-waiting, brainwashes her charge and tells her she must hate Amihan for the Queen loves her more than Pirena. Pirena wants to become queen and she does not want any rivals. Meanwhile, the Queen admonishes Amihan to give up the sword and live a peaceful life if she wants to ascend to the throne.

Amihan meets her other sisters, Alena and Danaya, and the animal Awoo. She learns that Alena and Danaya have a different father who was killed by the Hathor long ago. They are attacked by Hathor who mean to kidnap the Queen. The sisters stop them. Imaw threatens Agne, the Hathor leader, and she leaves with her men. After this experience, Amihan realizes she cannot give up the sword and must do as her father taught her.

The girls grow up into beautiful princesses. Pirena is apart from them because of her attitude. Inang Reyna worries for Amihan because she has grown up to be a sword-bearer like her father. Aquil says Amihan has a point because even sang'gre (royal children) need to learn to fight.

Butterflies arrive and Inang Reyna interprets this as a sign that the time has come to test her four daughters. They argue among themselves who deserves it, while Aquil advises them to practice instead. Inang Reyna admits to Imaw that she doesn't want Pirena to succeed her because she fears the blood in the girl's veins. Pirena hears her and concludes her mother plays favorites.
