Sabina’s happy life is shattered when her parents, along with her siblings Jimboy (Rainier Castillo) and Sara (Ryza Cenon), are abducted and brought to Saladin, leaving her alone in the world of mortals at a very young age. Sabina will eventually find her way to Saladin with the help of Eloida (Jean Garcia), a Salamangka who was punished and exiled to the mortal world, which be later revealed as Her real mother, and her lover Argo (Dennis Trillo) who will train Sabina into becoming a very powerful Salamangka.

Ayesa hears a voice humming and followed the voice which she hoped that would lead her to Sabina.

The Paters made a test to the Patti as to whom they will send to the world of the humans. They really want to get back Ayesa and bring her back to Saladin. Meanwhile, Ayesa is still looking for Sabina and so is Luring.

Argo and Ebrio were sent to the world of humans as part of their test. Argo won the test. Ebrio wins the second tests. And Argo wins the final tests.

Argo wins the test conducted by the Paters. Sabina sees her mother in the crowd and tries to go closer to see her.

She was walking when she noticed that the ring light up, then she sees her mother entering the ""lagusan"" or the frame that they used to use to enter Saladin.

Ayesa closed the passageway so that Sabina would not follow her. Both Sabina and Eloida tried to open it but it seems that it’s permanently closed. Cocoy found the picture and he was able to open it using chants. Meanwhile, because of capturing Ayesa, the Paters give Argo the head of the Patti.

Pater Balka turns purple after a bug stings him. Sabina and Eloida learn that Cocoy also has magic. During his sleep Eloida hears Cocoy say chants, but these chants are for black magic. The Paters forces Ayesa to bring in her children so that could eliminate the bloodline of Markadan. Meanwhile, Eloida, Sabina and Cocoy try to open the gateway to Saladin but the frame opened the door to a different world, a dark world.

Sabina and Cocoy enters the frame and it brought them to a world, to a cave. Eloida was able to follow both of them in time. Jimboy finds a way to visit their mother Ayesa who is held captive by the Paters.

Sabina's age has accelerated because of black magic. To save Sabina's life, Cocoy agreed to stay within Murmak in exchange of saving his friend, Sabina. Meanwhile, Janus was granted a wish from Patre Balkan after healing him when Janus was able to obtain a black insect.

Ayesa's powers are taken by the Balkans to serve as punishment due to Ayesa's disobedience in the rules of Balkans. Eloida on the other hand, learns from Adana that her daughter is still alive.

Sabina sees Ayesa but apparently, she cannot do anything to save her from the Balkan. Sabina promises herself that she is going back to save Ayesa. While Eloida agreed to meet in the woods with Adana to get her daughter.

Ebrio visits Juno as she gets injured upon attempting to capture Eloida. Juno tells Ebrio that he should not waste his time courting her for her heart‘s desire is Argo, Ebrio's brother. Would this trigger Ebrio to get mad at his brother?

Sabina walks into the black lake not knowing that the place is forbidden for it is the place where Markadan rests and it should not be disturbed. Consequentially, the Paters send Umbras to drive Sabina away from the black lake. Would Sabina be able to fight the Umbras when she is still not in full control of her powers?

As Eloida searches for her daughter, she sees Ayesa being punished by the Paters (the masters of Salamangka). Could Eloida find her daughter before the Paters and the natives of Saladin capture Eloida and punish her together with Ayesa?

Juno helps Sabina to recuperate for the reason that Sabina once saved her life. Meanwhile, Eloida visits Adana's home in hoping to find her long, lost daughter. Would Adana disclose to Eloida who her real daughter is?

Chapter 3

Juno gives a golden bracelet to Sabina in order for her to join the contest for women servants in Arcapol. Sabina would like to join the contest in Arcapol so she could easily find her mother Ayesa, and her family. What are the dangerous challenges awaiting Sabina?

Sabina successfully surpasses the first test in Arcapol without even needing a sap from a tree for adhesive. Would she be able to pass the other succeeding tests? Meanwhile, Ebrio tells Juno that he knows her secret, but he said he would keep mum as long as Juno would love him back.

It's payback time. Juno attempts to kill Ebrio after Adana insists that her secret is at risk of being disclosed so she should kill him, yet Ebrio escaped his death with the help of Sabina's Majika. Could Ebrio really blurt out and reveal Juno's secret even if this means Juno's punishment from the Paters?

Sabina has joined the top five servants of Arcapol after passing the final test. Apparently, winning the contest does not mean that Sabina's challenges are over. Sabina faces another test from the Paters together with her four other companions (servants) who are tasked to bring five containers into the hill of Kapanggura no matter if there life is at stake.

Juno uses her wit to outsmart the Paters and to save her from punishment. Juno reminds Pater Balkan of his promise of granting anything she wishes for after Juno saves his life from fatal illness. Would Pater Balkan grants his promise to Juno and spare her from the grave punishment that she should suffer?

Argo flies with Sabina on his magic carpet. He wishes to express his gratitude for Sabina upon saving the life of his brother, Ebrio. However, as Argo tries to advance his friendship with Sabina, while Juno witnessed the whole scene and she cries her way out swearing at Sabina with infuriation and Juno promises to take her revenge for the perceived betrayal.

It is clear to Juno that Argo likes Sabina and because of that, it made Juno hate Sabina more. Juno treats Sabina as an enemy since then and because of being badly hurt and jealous with Argo, Juno starts plotting evil acts to end the life of Sabina. Could Sabina's majika win over Juno's powerful salamangkang itim (black magic)?

In attempt to kill Sabina, Juno was surprised to see that Sabina has Majika (magic) too. Juno postpones her act to kill Sabina though the latter faces another risky task from the servant head in Arcapol. This time, Juno was asked to feed Harakta—the most dangerous pet of Pater Aduro.

Pater Malko offers Ebrio to become his mentor in place of serving Pater Malko with all his loyalty. Pater Malko wants to help Ebrio to develop his salamangka and become the greatest and most powerful Salamangkero in Saladin. Is this the real motive of Malko, or is there anything else?

Pater Balkan asks Argo to visit Gonraya to check the leadership of Perula among the slaves who currently works in the land of the jewel mines. Meanwhile, Sabina also learns from Argo that Gonraya is the same place where Ayesa was thrown. Could this be Sabina's chance to save her mother?

Juno deceives Sabina and tells the latter that she was attacked by the salamangkeros who used the Salamangkang itim (black magic) against her and because of that, she is about to die. Juno says Sabina could help her by obtaining the book of magic inside the forbidden room of the Paters. What is Juno up to this time?

Because of Juno's forbidden act of breaking inside the room of the Paters, she is to face a punishment from the Paters. Instead of protecting her friend and saving her from any punishment, Juno insists in front of the Paters that Sabina is a liar and should not be trusted. Whose side is Argo going to believe: Juno or Sabina?

Chapter 4

As Pater Balkan attempts to punish Eloida and take all of her powers, a sudden haze of black smog like that of an eclipse rapidly covering the entire Saladin. Who is responsible for the immediate spread of darkness?

Sabina continues her quest for her mother in Gonraya. However, Perula would not take off her eyes on Ayessa for Perula distrusts Sabina and so Perula makes sure that Sabina does not ever get close to Ayessa. Meanwhile, Patre Balkan suggests to Argo that he should marry Juno and become as one for the sake of raising the greatest salamangka in Saladin.

After an abrupt and unexpected rainfall, the inhabitants of Saladin were suddenly inflicted with an unexplainable skin disease. Did someone cast a tremendous spell or a curse using black magic (Salamangkang itim) against Saladin? Could there still be a panacea to the spreading epidemic?

The Paters sent Argo for a quest to obtain Pater Seruno's medallion, which has extremely strong powers. According to Paters, the powers of the medallion could possibly heal and stop the spreading of the epidemic caused by the salamangkang itim in Saladin. Pater Seruno kept the medallion inside the cave of Gonraya in order to protect it from the salamangkang itim. Could Argo make it in time before the medallion lands in the hands of salamangkang itim who wish to destroy and to spread evil in Saladin using the medallion's powers?

In order to save the Saladin from the epidemic cast by the Salamangkang itim, the Paters need to retrieve the mahiwagang aklat ng pambihirang majika (a magical and powerful book of Majika) back in Saladin from the salamangkang itim. In so doing, Sabina (as she is the new holder of the great powers of the medallion), was sent by the Paters together with Argo, to fight with the Salamangang itim in Murmak and obtain the magical book. Would they be able to surpass this very risky task, considering that the salamangkang itim are very dangerous, vile, and powerful?

Endemic pestilence of the epidemic which infested Saladin due to the salamangkang itim, is now over after the enchanting book of magic was retrieved by Sabina and also with a little aid from Argo. However, challenges does not stop from the healing of Saladin—Does it mean there are new chaotic predicaments awaiting for Saladin as the most powerful salamangka in Saladin, popularly known as Markadan, was unleashed by an unknown force?

The Paters grant one wish for Sabina's victory in her previous mission of retrieving the enchanted book of magic and the latter (Sabina), with an advice of Pater Dibin, asks of being appointed as Patti in order for her to gain power which is necessary to save her mother, Ayessa. Would Sabina's wish be granted in spite of its serious consequence for the Paters? Meanwhile, Saladin faces another type of lethal plague and everybody tries to provide the solution for the invasion of large swarms of the green incalus (insects).

For the second time, Sabina saves the whole Saladin from the indestructible swarms of incalus making her deserving for the title of a Patti in executing such heroic act and saving many lives. The townspeople celebrated with overwhelming joy as they witness how Sabina and Argo terminates all the harmful and deadly insects with Sabina's ideas and for that, they wish Sabina to be appointed as the new Patti or heroine of Saladin. Would the Paters evaluate this scenario as enough evidence that shows that Sabina is really powerful and not just an ordinary female salamangka who therefore deserves to be elected as Saladin's newest Patti?

Time does heal the pain and hurting emotions brought by being left by a sister when they were still children, and for Sara, she has forgiven her sister after learning that her elder sister Sabina is the one responsible for saving the entire Saladin from the pestilence of the Incalus. On the other hand, the Paters have re-evaluated Sabina's wish to be appointed as Patti by giving her a series of dangerous and life-threatening tests so that Sabina could prove herself as really powerful and deserving of the title.

The frantically in love Juno would do anything just to get rid of Sabina and cast her away from Saladin. Juno approaches Eloida and blackmails her by asking Eloida to kill Sabina if she wants Juno to treat her as her real mother. As Sabina is always Juno's rival to the position as a Patti and also a rival to her beloved Argo, Juno wants Sabina dead though this would be a very difficult task for Eloida since she is Sabina's mentor and they are both very close and dear to each other.

The Paters officially ordain Sabina as the newest Patti joining Argo and Juno in Saladin however most of the Paters are against the idea of appointing her. What are Juno's next steps in order to look and to save her mother Ayessa and father Garam? Could she really have free have access now in the entire Saladin and visit everywhere she wishes to go in pursuit of her parents?

Ayessa is now in the hands of Adana as the latter holds Ayessa as captive inside her diamond jewel stone. Since Sabina last heard of Ayessa in Gonraya, how would she be able to find Ayessa inside a diamond? Is Ayessa still alive or was already eliminated as ordered by Pater Balkan?

After the earth-trembling and peace-shattering incident which could be attributed to the curse of such prohibited black magic, Sabina is given punishment that brings her back against the wall---but with this, it seems that Juno is naturally pleased with what has taken place as she plans another scheme. Meanwhile, Argo tries to discern who it is who has used such forbidden magic---will he ever get close to solving the mystery?

With the discussions between Ebrio and Malko, evil schemes are plotted against Argo---will they be able to plant the power-absorbing gem successfully on him and get away with it? Meanwhile, Argo confesses his real feelings for Sabina---with their emotions running all over, will this lead to anything positive or would it all go downhill?

As Sabina tracks down the whereabouts of her mother, she finds herself facing a string of troubles, dangers and other pressing hazards---will she be able to find her mother as all threats seem to come out from the woodwork?

Juno 's diabolical plan seems to be working as she is able to convince Argo that the chance and rescue he has been given is all for the purpose of both of them to share a life together---can she expect everything from here on out to go her way? Meanwhile, still in pursuit, Eloida tries to convince Sabina to come with her---will she come? Would she fight? Or would she learn of the truth about herself?

A voiceless and hapless Sabina is left with a heap of problems but what is atop of her list is her clueless state on how to get back Argo---at this point, will she ever get him back?

With everything that has happened, Sabina finds herself in self-pity and catastrophic, bad luck as she has no understanding why Argo has forgotten all about her and has no power to stop the first ritual of marriage administered as a to-be-wed Argo and Juno welcome the kingdom's blessings---would it all go smooth-sailing for Juno?

The expedition of Sabina and Jimboy begins as their search for the mythical winged creature of that can bring back Sabina's voice---just what obstacles would they face along the way? Meanwhile, Malko seems to have persuaded Ebrio in doing something that has everything to do with Argo's well-being---will he be convinced to yet again have ill-intentioned plans for his brother?

As she has regained her voice, Sabina reads clues everywhere that the wedding between Argo and Juno is indeed taking place, as she races with all her might, would she able to get there in time? Meanwhile, in the actual wedding, it seems that unnatural phenomena have taken place---would this affect the outcome of the ceremony?

Chapter 5

Ayessa holds his father who is currently imprisoned inside a jewel. As she is holding his father in one hand and drinking water from the lake in her other hand, suddenly, a huge, gigantic octopus comes out of the lake and attacks her. How could Ayessa ever save herself and his father from such terrible situation when all her powers are gone as taken away by Pater Balkan?

On her way to Idahaw, Ayessa gets help from the son of a friend of Markadan, named Turko. In order to ensure the safety of Markadan, Ayessa, leaves Markadan in Turko's care for a while. So, in her return from Saladin, Ayessa promises that she will free Markadan from being imprisoned in the jewel.

Juno could not accept her defeat and she is now determined to do anything it takes to destroy Sabina and to keep her away from Argo. Apparently, Juno is facing allegations from Argo for taking away his memory of Sabina and if she will be proven guilty, the Paters in Arcapol will punish Juno.

Though it is dangerous for Ayessa to be seen in Arcapol, she barges into the room of Pater Balkan to obtain the salamangtungkod that the Pater used to take away her powers. Ayessa dauntlessly executes her tasks however it is very risky to get caught and be punished.

Argo fights for his love for Sabina in spite of the Paters' disapproval. He is very willing to fight for his love up to the extent that he is willing to give up his powers and his high position of being a Patti. However, this is not unknown to Juno and the latter plans to stop the near wedding of Sabina and Argo by revealing a secret on the day of their marriage.

Among suspecting wandering eyes, Sabina tries to convince Argo that all the accusations being thrown at her mother are untrue. Trying to stage what it seems to be a convincing turn-around to essentially get her out of any trouble, will Argo be able to do the right for Sabina or would his moves be read by those who have gone meticulous over his actions?

A battle of magic and wits takes place as Eloida, with all her might, tries to vanquish Ayesa, but to all of their surprise some unlikely heroine steps up and neutralizes the situation—who could it be? Meanwhile, Argo tries to convince Sabina that a complete escape and to live together incognito from their would-be captors is the best strategic option for them---would Sabina be willing to give up her family?

With his patience running thin, Balkan learns of the failure the assignment he has give to Naryan and Lyness—will his anger get the best of him or would he let this one slide? Meanwhile, Adana shares some vital information with Aduro—just what could it be?

As Eloida falls captive to the power of the Pater, the elders have found it much more convenient that she is slowly being taken out of the picture and that their plans hold less threats ahead—will they decide to get rid of her completely? Meanwhile, Sabina faces a ton load full of pressing threats—with only magic by her side; will she be able to overcome them?

Juno is able to use her powers in weaving Sabina into a trap where being stuck in time is all that is known---just how can Sabina get out of this? Meanwhile, the Paters try to corner Eloida by giving her an obstacle that is a heap of trouble---will she succumb to their powers or would it be the other way around?

Inside a mirror, the beautiful Sabina is imprisoned but the guardian of Matusalen finds the mirror and recognizes the woman who formerly stole the fruit from the tree. Would the guardian help her get out of the mirror or would he let Sabina rot inside the mirror forever as he was punished and his powers were taken away from him after Sabina took the fruit of Matusalen?

The paters and the townspeople celebrate the feast of Saladin while Argo and Eloida are helplessly imprisoned is the rooms of Arcapol which are designed so they could not use their powers. Although it is very life-risking, Sabina struggles to find her way back to Saladin and continue her search for her family.

Argo gets help from Bodyal, his friend. Bodyal helped Argo escape from imprisonment in Arcapol and so the two rushes to seek for Sabina and help her find her family. Moreover, Argo frees Garam from the lake after being trapped at its bottom for a very long time.

While fighting with a group of mocking men, Sabina destroys the crystal used by one of the assailants against her powers. In that crystal, Markadan is inside and so, upon breaking the crystal, Markadan freely escapes and recognizes Sabina who saves his life by helping him get out of the crystal.

Juno initiates to query Terman about the two siblings of Sabina. For the reason that Pater Balkan wants to punish and to kill Sabina and the rest of their clan, anyone inclusive of Markadan's bloodline, Juno purports to do anything just to avenge the pain in her broken heart. However, Markadan continues to test the magical powers of Sabina in order to gauge the strength and endurance of Sabina's Majika and offer connivance with his revenge for Pater Balkan.

Unaware that Sabina is dealing with Markadan—the most powerful salamangka in Saladin, the latter sets forth a whimsical test for Sabina because she refuses to take his request for helping him complete a mission in Saladin. Could Sabina pass this test and escape away entirely from Markadan? In case she fails, what lesson could she learn from this challenging and riddling task?

For seeking power, prestige, and selfish love, people may go to the extent of engaging in deplorable acts of deception even if the most important things are sacrificed like: friendship, family, and principles. In Saladin, some Salamangkas in greed for power are willing to do anything for having the strongest Majika. But then, Sabina would prove that the greatest gift of Majika is at its strongest when it is used for helping others because of genuine love.

Markadan introduces himself as Osias to Sabina for keeping his true identity clandestine. Why is he keeping his identity secret is it because Markadan is really an enemy of Saladin? What is the truth behind the story of Markadan's banishment in the entire Saladin?

In alliance with Pater Malko, Adana learns that their force is incomparable to the strength of Pater Balkan's connivance with Eloida as the latter comes from the clan of Markadan, their bloodline is known as the experts in using Majika. Meanwhile, Argo and the rest of Markadan's family are working hard to enhance and to reach the full potentials of their Majika in order to be able to fight whatever hindrance they are about to face in pursuit of bringing back peace and order, reconciliation of their whole family, and restoring Saladin to its former glory.

Garam drinks a potion from Pater Balkan allowing Garam to be under Pater Balkan's spell: the potion shall make Garam forget about his feelings for Ayessa and instead, he would fall in love with Eloida. Argo and Ayessa rushes into Arcapol and the latter sees Eloida in the arms of Garam.
