The sanggre babies are now ladies…. Their destinies are about to unfold. One enjoys the love and the honor of being the next heir to the throne of Lireo while the other is hungry for the care and attention of her adoptive family.
Mira, Pirena’s daughter is now known by everyone in Lireo as Princess Lira, the sole successor of Reyna Amihan. Her doting aunts and loving mother make sure that she is prepared for the task ahead. With lessons in sword fighting from her mother and patient advice from her asha (aunt) Pirena, “Lira” is on her way to becoming a good leader of Lireo.
In her royal red gown, Mira is living the good life. She spent her birthday with a lavish ball held in her honor. All the young men attempted to get close with their sugar-laced promises but the young princess waved off their compliments. Pirena noticed and commended her “niece” for remaining focused on her destiny.
Danaya could not help but notice Pirena’s unusual concern for “Lira” and shared her sentiments with Amihan who downplayed such suspicion. Instead, she told her youngest sibling to start trusting their eldest. But Danaya remains very cautious and believes that the guardian of the Jewel of Fire is up to no good.
Amihan wonders why she continues to dream of Lira being in dangerous situations. Muyak continues to cry for help, pleading Amihan to open the portal towards Encantadia. Unfortunately, Amihan still dismisses the pleas she sees in her premonitions, taking comfort in the knowledge that her daughter is safe inside the castle walls. She knows that Lira walks around the land always accompanied by the palace guards and soldiers to ensure her safety from the Hathors and anyone who may wish to harm her.
As Mira leads the life of a royalty, the real Lira faces the everyday challenges of being in the mortal world. Known as Milagros, her days are often filled with sadness, physical pain and emotional distress. Her kind father -- the one who saved her from certain death as a baby -- is now long gone. She is left with an abusive mother and a spoiled sister. Milagros is confused that her beloved mom does not seem to care for her as much as her younger sibling. Milagros has no idea that they are not blood relatives and that she belongs to another world.
But the magic of Encantadia cannot really be separated from the uprooted sanggre. Even as a young child, Milagros has unwittingly called the wind. Now, older and more mature, she is hoping for another kind of magic. A magic that will save her from the purgatory she is in. She is hoping that a promise from a childhood friend, Anthony, will be remembered soon. But now that she is forced by her mother to work as a maid in a rich family’s dwelling, will she find the saving grace and the enchantment that she is longing for?
