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

Princess Hanra went to her favorite spot,  a place on the outskirts of Kugama. A pond in the center of the forest filled with so many creatures, the pond is surrounded by different colorful flowers and the flowers speak to her which she always finds strange.


"What is so special about me that flowers talk to me?" She always asked herself. 


"Although mother used to tell me that the Izagi's love flowers and respect them. Her name Hanra also meant flower." 


She went on talking to the flowers telling them of her problems and they were trying to give her a solution when she suddenly heard a loud crash-like sound from a little distance and then the sounds of running feet and cries of people. 


She quickly got up and crept towards the direction to see what was happening. When she looked through the shrubs, she saw the most beautiful woman, her eyes glowed as the sun under the moonlight. The woman was singing the most melodious and harmonic music she had ever heard, Princess Hanra was very impressed by what she heard. 


But when she looked closely,  she realized that the beautiful woman was not just singing, she was using her voice to do evil.


The cries of the men, women, and children she heard were caused by this woman. She could see some begging for their lives while others tried to defend themselves but ended up losing their lives.


But it was worth it because according to the Kugama people, you must fight to defend yourself till the end. 


Princess Hanra continued to watch with tears in her eyes as more people were being killed. 


A little child was brought out and she placed a musical note on the child's neck to kill him, Prince Hanra couldn't take it anymore and ran out, she raised her hand in front of the woman while yelling. 


The woman stopped singing and looked down at the girl who dared to interrupt her from where she stood on her golden banana leaf.


Her banana leaf was a source of her magic without using her voice,  she used her mind to control it and ride on it to show her superiority. 


"She is such a disrespectful girl General." Her second in command, a strong man said.
