Aika, a famous singer in the Philippines, has an admirer who doesn't know that he too was being admired. They've never met but he feels a connection to her because of her singing. Adarna is a mystical bird which can cure ailments of the body and mind through its singing. When it sings, the colours of its feathers change and its voice captures the hearts of those listening to it. I wrote this story because I've always been fascinated by how songs are a big part of Filipino lives. When somebody sings, I personally can be moved by three things --- the song, the voice, and the combination of the song and the voice. As a child, I imagined listening to the Adarna; as I grew up, I found the same enchantment from some people who sing.

["BOOK 2 OF THE LAST CRY" In the sequel to "The Last Cry", the royal families of Maharlika's six kingdoms face new and terrifying challenges. Queen Denzel of Gracia, haunted by a chilling prophecy, must lead his people against a growing darkness that threatens to consume their world. From the lush forests of Lefia to the sun-drenched valleys of Lux, the realms of Maharlika are plunged into chaos as ancient curses awaken and long-forgotten enemies rise. The journey to maintain peace continues, demanding courage, sacrifice, and the forging of uneasy alliances. Will the royals succeed in upholding their sacred duty, or will Maharlika be lost to the encroaching shadows?

This is the AI-generated English rendition of a beloved Philippine fairy tale known as "Ibong Adarna," its full title being "Corrido and Life Lived by the Three Princes, children of King Fernando and Queen Valeriana in the Kingdom of Berbania." This tale is usually introduced to seventh graders in Philippine high schools. No one ever dared to tackle the translation of this poetic narrative into English, but thanks to AI, we, despite being poetry novices, have brought it to life, maintaining its creative and poetic essence and ensuring not a single stanza is added or taken away. Our translation is based on the original text, written in ancient Filipino, which can be found on the Project Gutenberg website. Please note that the original version differs from the expanded one found in textbooks, as evident in the total number of stanzas. Our aim is for this classic Philippine tale to be accessible worldwide, sparing international readers from relying on story summaries. In the poetic narrative, certain passages address the issue of slavery, particularly involving dark-skinned individuals. Recognising that such content is not acceptable within the AI tool we employ, we took the initiative to substitute these occurrences with a non-offensive term. Instead of directly using the term "negro," we opted to replace these occurrences with the Tagalog equivalent of "servant" prior to activating the AI tool for translation generation.
