When Encantadia opens, we see that Alena and Ybarro have once again snuck off to be together. No two beings are in as much love as these two. But little do they know that there are more powerful forces afoot in these lands. There are powers that have other designs and plans for the young warrior.
A butterfly lands on Ybarro’s shoulder and it frightens Alena who feels that there is something mysterious about this insect. Neither of them realizes that this is the familiar sent by the gods to indicate the chosen father for Amihan’s child. Ybarro tries to calm her fears by kissing her. Hitano sees this and is near tears with jealousy and rage. Hitano confronts Alena. He rages against her love for someone like Ybarro. But Alena steadfastly defends her love for the warrior.
Amihan suddenly wakes up and wonders at her wounds… which have somehow healed themselves in her sleep. She thanks her sister Danaya for healing her as Aquil updates her on the war’s current state. Danaya wants to use the gems in battle but Ynang Reyna has made it clear that the power in the gems is not for war.
It becomes clear to Hagorn that Pirena can only gain access to the gems if her sisters freely will them to her. Given that she has declared war on them, it becomes a tricky challenge for the Hagorn to figure out a way to acquire the remaining gems. This sets the tone for the beginnings of a truly complicated love triangle… where participants are quite innocent and oblivious to the roles they are about to play.
Even in the throes of war, Ynang Reyna implores Amihan to keep Pirena safe from harm. Amihan swears to keep her wayward sister out of harm’s way… unaware that Pirena is already hatching a plot against her. While they are talking, the butterfly appears before them. Ynang Reyna then declares that the familiar has chosen the father of Amihan’s child. She also announces that Amihan must ready herself to bear the next heir to the Lireo throne.
Meanwhile, at the foot of a mountain, the chosen father stands guard, completely unaware of his fate. Ybarro joyfully shouts his love for Alena… but will his love for her be enough to withstand being chosen by the gods themselves?
In Lireo, the remaining royal sisters discuss Amihan’s impending pregnancy. Ynang Reyna’s only clue was that he would come to Amihan in a dream.
And true enough, while Amihan sleeps, Ybarro comes to her. The butterfly’s prophecy was true indeed. In his dream, he is Ybrahim. He kisses Amihan’s palm, leaving petals where his lips were. When Amihan wakes, she sees the petals are still there. She tells Ynang Reyna about her dream, who in turn tells her daughter that it was not a dream… that the flowers are a sign that she is indeed carrying the next Queen of the Fairies.
When Amihan tells Alena about what Ybrahim looked like in her dream, Alena can barely contain her shock. She nearly slips about “Ybarro” but Muyak is quick to rescue her. Off in his home at the foot of the mountains, Ybarro himself wonders about the dream he had… telling Apitong that in it, his name was different. Trying to hide his secret, Apitong says nothing important to his adopted son.
Pirena meanwhile is up to no good. Using the powers of fire, she lures a fairy in her dream to kiss her hand. He too leaves petals on her palm. When the deed is done, Pirena quickly kills the fairy and, with Gurna’s help, disposes of the body. She joyfully celebrates her pregnancy… the first step to her devious ploy to gain the gems.
Amihan calmly accepts her pregnancy but can not help but wonder who Ybrahim is and where he came from. In fact, of all of the unwitting players in love’s deceptive game, only Apitong really knows the truth about his son… the hidden prince of his kingdom.
Back in Lireo, Ynang Reyna begins keeping watch over the growing child in Amihan’s belly. And as the episode closes, we see that in Hathoria, the same is being done by Pirena. She keeps careful watch over her own pregnancy while explaining to Hagorn that this child is going to be their key to owning the missing gems… and ruling all of Encantadia.
In secret, Alena and Ybarro meet. Alena tells him of her sister’s pregnancy… which gives Ybarro cause for wonder and concern. How will they withstand the knowledge that Ybarro, as Ybrahim has become the father of Amihan’s child… a baby that will be Alena’s niece. And what will Amihan feel when she finds out that Ybrahim is her own sister’s one true love?
