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

"Truly a disrespectful girl indeed but I have no time for her." The General said and with a strike a single note,  she sent Princess Hanra rolling down the high hill into the forest. 


After the priestess left the palace,  Sangth finally got a chance to speak to the Queen. She bowed before her majesty and said. 


"Please forgive me dear Queen but Princess Hanra has snucked out of the palace again." 


"Again? Did you find her before? " Queen Memma asked. 


"Yes Your Highness I did but after coming into the palace she heard something and said she didn't want you to see her face anymore because it would bring you pain," Sangth replied. 


"What did you hear." The Queen asked suddenly restless. 


"That she doesn't have the magic within her," Sangth replied and swallowed hard. 


"The Queen will be more worried now that she is aware that I know, I should assure her that I will never tell anyone." Sangth thought to herself. 


"Sangth,  you do know how much I care about you." Queen Memma said looking away. 


"I swear on my life that no one will ever get to know of this through me." Sangth quickly said interrupting her majesty. 


"Summon the guards, they should go out and look for Princess Hanra, You should help them since you know her better than anyone else." Queen Memma said to Sangth and Sangth bowed and left the room.


"After I am done with all these ants,  I will be coming for you, my dear sister." The General said with a smile. 


"Your sister will now see the true powers of General Nenma of Vang Army." Her Commander said and bowed before her. 


"And the soon-to-be King of Kugama Kingdom." General Nenma added. 


Princess Hanra was badly hurt and unconscious when she was found the next day by the Kugama soldiers. 


Princess!!! Sangth called out with tears in her eyes when she saw the princess in that condition. 


"I shouldn't have let you leave,  look what happened to you." She said and kept weeping as she knelt beside the princess's bruised body. 


When Queen Memma saw her daughter,  she was heartbroken and ordered the soldiers to bring the priestess and healers they found in every part of Kugama to the palace immediately.
