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

Suddenly, Hanra got to a very high pitch that even Nenma could not match up to, she feared as she saw Hanra's musical notes turning into gold colors and coming at her all at once. She tried to shield herself but it was all in vain, the golden musical notes struck her to the ground. 


After falling to the ground, Nenma poured out blood from her mouth and she placed her hand on her heart. 


"You harmed my people and killed my mother, I should end your life at once but I won't. I will allow you to live but only as a Kugama prisoner." Hanra said and started walking away. 


"Your mother made me suffer by banishing me but now, I will not allow you to make me suffer by making me a prisoner in your prison yard," Nenma said to herself, and with the last strength she had in her, she summoned the dust from the ground to take Hanra's eyes. 


The dust rose and attacked Hanra but she shielded herself and because of the anger she felt, Nenma tried to kill her even after she spared Nenma's life, Hanra returned the same attack on Nenma and that was it, Princess, and General Nenma died. 


Ahhh!! The dark shadow of someone who stood behind a pillar in black clothes gaped. 


Princess felt bad for killing Nenma but she was glad that it was all over. She quickly went out of the palace into the kingdom and there she found her people being tied up by the Vang soldiers. 


She knew she could kill all of them by herself if she wanted to but she preferred that her people should defend themselves and so she went to the Tangale shrine. 


She stood at the entrance watching the lamps and then she said. 


"If truly I am a special person the Grandfather King Bajju, please help me. Let the lamps light up again and let everyone in Kugama regain their powers." 


She placed her hands forward, breathed in slowly and breath out sharply, and then started singing a tune she heard in her trance before she saw Agu. The pitch of the tune slowly rose higher and higher as she sang from her heart, Suddenly the lamps started lighting up and the whole shrine became as bright as the sun after the entire lamp came on.
