A long time ago, the people of the Kugama kingdom suffered attacks from stronger cities around them for several years, then came the advent of King Bajju the Sixth who decided to put an end to the misery of his people.
He dared to venture into the evil forest (Saro) to seek the help of the spirit wisperers also known as the Izagi and he got a solution but not without giving them something in return.
In answer to his problem, two beautiful daughters bestowed with the power of music (Etsako) were given to him.
The people of the kingdom were also given the power of music from generation to generation but they are not as powerful as the princesses. Their powers were controlled by the magical lamps of their ancestors. 
A power that no force or even the strongest of armies could stand against was given to the two princesses. At a hit of their first and tiniest musical notes, they destroy their enemies. 
One of the twin princesses was the most powerful because her musical notes were not controlled by the magical lamp (Dendi), this made her one of the Chosen (Oron) while the other was controlled by the magical lamp. Her powers were in a honeycomb-like design lamp in the middle of the sacred shrine (Tangale shrine) where their lamps were kept safe.
The lamps rarely go off but if eventually a lamp goes off, that means the owner of the lamp is gone to the world beyond, and as soon as a new life is born the lamp comes on.
When the two daughters turned into women, As per tradition, the king decided to coronate the chosen one believing that she would be able to protect their kingdom more.
But on her coronation, her father the king saw her get angry with one of the guards and she suddenly struck him dead with a musical note.
When the king confronted his daughter, she didn't seem to be regretful and so right before her, he coronated his other daughter.
Infuriated, she tried to attack her sister, the queen and in her attempt, she murdered her father who tried to protect his other daughter.
She was arrested and banished from the kingdom. As she left she vowed to come back and take what rightfully belonged to her.
Several years later, the Queen had a daughter and was happy that she had a successor, someone to leave the throne to after she was gone.
But as the princess grew up, she didn't have a voice, a magical singing voice. 
A MAGIC WITHIN was lacking in her, although she grew up faster than the other children in the kingdom and her eyes would always glow beautifully in the strange night, she was not showing any signs of the powers she was supposed to have as the firstborn.
The queen worried and did all she could in her power to bring back her daughter's voice.
Meanwhile, far far away. The banished princess was ruling her kingdom, she had her army and was swiftly taking over the strongest kingdoms there was in the world with her amazing powers.
She was still determined to come back and take what rightly belonged to her.
To find out if the new princess will have a voice, what her glowing eyes mean if the banished princess will take back what belongs to her, and if the new princess will be able to fulfill her mother's wish of becoming a successor after her departure, then please read to the very end...

A MAGIC WITHIN

"I am not asking for your permission." King Bajju said. He was feeling very bad for hurting his darling daughter.


"Father, what did my sister do?" Princess Nenma asked.


"Yes, what did she do?" The queen asked already crying.


"I won't tell anyone that. All I will say is that she has violated all the rules of being a king and can not be crowned because of that." King Bajju replied.


"I won't let this happen. The throne is mine and I will never allow anyone to take it away from me, even if they are my family." Princess Memma said to her father.


"Are you trying to say that you will take over the throne by force?" King Bajju asked.


"Yes, and I will take out anyone who stands in my way." Princess Memma replied getting furious.


King Bajju's blood boiled at his daughter's insolence and lack of regret for her actions.


"Then let me see what you do." King Bajju said to her.


Princess Memma got ready to fight using her powers.


"I don't need to sing because if I do the entire kingdom will collapse and everyone will die. And there isn't a kingdom without people and I can't rule without people." 


"I didn't realize that you have become stronger but no matter how strong you are, you can never be stronger than your father." King Bajju said and started singing.


The princess sang from within her mind without opening her mouth, the objects were able to hear her song and obey. The music started controlling metals even when she was only gesturing with her hand. She arranged the metals like swords and attacked her father at once with it before he could even throw a musical note at her.


King Bajju fell to the ground and gasped as blood started coming out from every part of his body that was stabbed by the metals.


His eyes turned red and his body slowly started turning pale. Princess Memma realized what she had done and fell on her knees and tears came rushing down her eyes.


Princess Nenma was already by her father's side screaming and crying. The entire people present there were crying as well and the queen was trying her best to keep her husband's eyes open.


"So it was you." King Bajju said as blood came out of his mouth as well. Sadly he realized that the daughter whom he loved and cherished the most was the one destined to end his life. 


He couldn't blame her for what she did, it has been written and even he couldn't change that.


Tears came out of his eyes and he slowly closed them as he breathed his last.
