Ending of Encantadia

The war is over. The Hathors have been defeated and whatever remains of their forces are scattered and feeble. Peace and freedom have at last returned to Encantadia. However victory comes at a terrible price.

Ybrahim is crowned king of Sapiro. He thanks all of those present for their help in the war, and relays his and Amihan’s condolences to those who lost their loved ones. Someone asks where the diwatas are. He says they are calling upon Bathala to guide and accept the lost Sapirian souls. The celebration ends with fireworks.

Back in the Lirean palace, Amihan leads the five sanggres as well as wantuk and apek in praying for the souls of THEIR people. Amihan turns, and Lira says they need to do one more thing. Suddenly Cass speaks up from behind: they must reunite the four jewels.

Meanwhile, in the bowels of the Sapirian keep, Wahid and Ybrahim come upon an old ruined hallway filled with cobwebs. Wahid sees two glowing kantao-shaped indentions in a column to the right. He takes out liras kantao, then his and puts them in place. The earth shakes, and a wall to the left withdraws. A room/huge cave full of literal treasure appears

Back in front of the Lirean gates, the four sanggres are facing each other in a circle. Lira asks if they are ready. Pirena is the first to answer, holding out the Fire Jewel. Alena goes next, then Danaya, and finally, Amihan. Lira holds out her hand and chants a spell. The four jewels are slowly enveloped in a soft white light that covers even their hands, and the Hope Diamond appears. It floats to the sky, and a bright ethereal glow coves the five sanggres. Minea appears to her daughters.

Ybrahim thinks aloud that this must be the treasure Asval was speaking of. Wahid comments that Ybrahim must be happy with his vast inheritance. Ybrahim refutes the statement, saying that the treasure is for all sapirians, adding that a kingdom’s real treasure is its people, people loyal to their kingdom and their unwavering love for enca.

Minea appears before her children and addresses each of her daughters one by one. Pirena first. Pirena humbly asks for forgiveness, but Minea says whatever wrongdoing she did was to herself for neglecting her duties. But that’s all in the past now. She’s so happy that the Pirena she loved and cherished is back.

Minea: Iba na ang Pirena na aking kaharap

Minea then turns to Alena. She tells the water sanggre that contrary to her belief, she did hear her pleas and felt her pain during the hardships. Where her heart was once her weakness, it is now her greatest strength.

She turns to Danaya, her stubborn, steadfast, and brave daughter. Danaya learned fear and gentleness, and she’s proud.

Minea: "Sapagkat ngayon ay buong-buo ka na."

As she turns to Amihan, the soon-to-be-former queen breaks down in tears, unable to contain her remorse.

"Hindi ako karapat-dapat. Binigo kita ina. Bumagsak ang Lireo dahil sa akin…"

Minea shakes her head and refutes the statement, declaring that she’s the luckiest mother for having an heir like Amihan.

The four sisters hold hands, and Minea thanks Lira for giving her the chance to be with her daughters again, even if only for a while.

"Bakit ina saan ka pupunta?" , Pirena asks. Danaya pleads with her to stay, but Minea tells them that they dont need to see her to feel her love. They will be each other’s mother, they will be enca’s mothers. She brings out the diamond, and entrusts it to her daughters, bidding them to remain united, for they will be its keepers for all eternity. The four receive the jewel, their hands joined while the diamond floats on top. For a moment, they are distracted as they marvel at its magnificence, and when they look back up at their mother, she is gone. They are sad, but take great comfort in the fact that they are now united. Group hug.

Somewhere in the forest, Avilan is standing when his hands glow and light floats from it. He is now free from the curse.

"Maari na kong magpahinga"

He flies off.

Lira and Danaya are talking. Lira comments about how much she must miss Aquil.

Lira:Ashti naaalala ko si Aquil, ikaw naaalala mo rin ba siya?

Danaya: Oo Lira

Lira: Ashti panahon na siguro para sabihin ko sayong ang ibig sabihin talaga ng I love you ay mahal kita.

Danaya: (danaya smiles)Alam ko

Lira: Alam mo na?(she's shocked)

Danaya: "Matagal na Lira. Sa tingin mo, bakit ko pa kaya laging sasabihin kay Aquil yun?"

Wantuk and apek exclaim that the pixies are back. Imaw explains that they disappeared with the chaos that followed the invasion of Lireo, and now that peace has returned, they will again live among the diwatas.

Wantuk and apek also notice that butterflies have come. The three other sanggres enter, and Alena says their coming means something. Amihan agrees, saying that it’s time to pass on the crown to Lira. A dama hands it to her, and she unceremoniously places it on Lira’s head. She then announces the start of the festivities but Lira cuts her off, saying that there’s no need. The prophecy has been fulfilled. She is queen. And as her first act of state, she abdicates in favor of someone else.

Of course, Amihan and especially Pirena worry their heads off. Lira argues that she’s done her mission. She doesnt need to be queen to prove it. All she wants is to go back to Anthony. Amihan reluctantly gives her blessing. Lira gives her mother Raquim’s scroll. Apparently, Anthony gave it to her just before he went through the portal.

Faced with a new dilemma, Amihan asks Imaw who will be the new queen. They all look to Pirena , but she contends that her track record isnt necessarily excellent. The next in succession is Alena, but Ybrahim comes and asks for her hand. Lira declares that Danaya will become the next queen. Danaya, stunned (why?) asks why while looking at the noble crown

Lira argues that she was the one who taught her everything about Lireo. Her love for the kingdom proves her worth as a leader. Still hesitating, she goes to Pirena, who gives her full support. Alena and Amihan follow suit.

And with all of them watching, Lira places the crown over her head, and all who are present rejoice.
