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

"Please do not hate your sister for what she did." The Queen said to her king Nenma.


"Why shouldn't I? She killed my father, your husband and you still dare to tell me not to hate her?" King Nenma said to her mother raising her voice.


They were both in the king's chamber and the queen was trying her best to convince her daughter against her plan of going after Princess Memma to have her executed instead of exiled as she ordered earlier on.


King Nenma turned away from her mother, the heat of the argument was so much that it was making the entire palace and its residence feel hot. She looked at the window, tightening her fists together, and she said in a thunderstorm voice.


"Never ask me to forgive her. Don't you dare?"


"Your Highness, my king. Despite being a king, you are still my daughter, and I, your mother. So please consider that and listen to my words and advice." The queen said almost losing her temper but she controlled herself immediately because despite being the king's mother, Nenma is still a king and a king can not be opposed, as a king's words and decisions are always final.


King Nenma realized what her mother was saying. She never once thought that she would ever be disrespectful to her mother.


"I almost forgot that when I finally got power," Nenma whispered to herself.


"Mother, I can't apologize but I still want you to know that I am regretful of my actions and hope you will not be upset with me." King Nenma apologized indirectly, a king is never to apologize to a subject directly whether that subject is her mother.


"I have forgiven her. She might have done that due to some unavoidable circumstances." King Nenma said in conclusion.


"She did it because it was part of destiny. This was the deal your father made with the Izagi but we never realized that it would be Memma out of the two of you." The queen said and started sobbing quietly. 


King Nenma asked her mother to tell her what deal her father made with the Izagi.
