 Arvak was drinking wine with Hagorn and Agane. Cassiopeia appeared in Hathoria in full armor and attacked the Hathors. Hagorn asked what Cassiopeia wanted, and why she was causing trouble. turned the Kabilan into a boomerang, which was flung across the room but which everyone managed to evade. Arvak asked how he can serve the ancient queen of diwatas. Cassiopeia said that when she granted the gems, she held onto their oaths that such would be used for good. Cassiopeia asked why Hathoria seemed to have forgotten, for they did not respect the life and honor of others. Agane attacks Cassiopeia , but she managed to keep Agane away. Arvak took out the Fire Gem and inflicted pain on Cassiopeia. Arvak told Cassiopeia not to attempt to fight him, if she did not wish to get hurt.  Cassiopeia said that even though succeeded in his greed, it would not last forever; for in the womb of a mother is an exceptional leader, whose birth would coincide with Arvak's death. The child would be one of the brave leaders who will one day topple Hathoria completely. Arvak called Cassiopeia a liar, and said it was not true. attacked , who teleported away before he could hit her. Hagorn and Arvak stared at each other.

Muros approached Raquim and said he had brought good news. Raquim asked what it is. Muros said there is a child in the womb of their queen; their love for each other has borne fruit — a connection between Lireo and Sapiro will arrive in Encantadia. They shook hands, and Raquim  thanked Muros.

 Sang'gre Pirena asked Imaw if her mother is really pregnant. Imaw said it was true. Imaw told Banak and Nakba to come with him, for he will make offerings to Lord Emre for Minea. Imaw bowed to Pirena and left. Seeing Pirena's excitement, Gurna tells her not be happy about having a sibling, since it will be her rival in her mother's love and crown. Gurna asked Pirena why she should be happy, if her sibling would be her rival in everything she wanted for her. Pirena  becomes sad.

 Arvak is bothered by Cassiopeia's prophecy. Hagorn thinks that Cassiopeia had spoken great folly, because no one could ever topple the Kingdom of Hathoria. Arvak said he wanted to be certain, so they should strengthen the kingdom even more. Arvak orders an attack on Sapiro, and then on the land of diwatas; once they had the four gems, then he can be sure that Cassiopeia's curse would not come to pass. Hagorn said his will would be done; he prepares the soldiers and leads them out. Agane followed suit.

Raquim visits Minea in Lireo. Minea asked everyone in the room to leave her with Raquim. The Sapiryan soldiers, the Diwata soldiers and the Damas walked out of the throne room. When they were gone, Raquim kissed Minea. Minea asked Raquim if he had heard the news... Raquim said he already knows that they will be having a child. Raquim said they should thank Emre, because having a child is a blessing, all the more since that child will unite their races, part Diwata like its mother and part Sapiryan also. Raquim said they should raise it properly, so it would be a worthy creature of Encantadia. Aquil, Muros, Imaw and other soldiers approached. Aquil apologized, saying that there is bad news.

 Aquil had flown on his dragon and saw the march of the Hathor army. Aquil said they have brought different types of weapons, which might be used against the Sapiryans. Raquim apologized Minea to , saying that he had to return to Sapiro. The Sapiryan soldiers followed Raquim out. Imaw said it was all his fault; if he did not surrender his gem to the Hathors, they would not have become stronger. Minea said that if Sapiro fell, Lireo would be next. Aquil said he thought the same thing, and asked for permission to lead the soldiers. Minea ordered Aquil and Muros to do what they had to do, but to make sure that all of them will survive. Aquil said that even if they do not survive, he promises that the enemy will not succeed.
