He became a Rajah by remaining undefeated as he continues to expand his territory by raiding more tribes mercilessly. In one tribe that he raids, its high priestess predicts Rajah Mangubat's downfall, saying he will be killed by a woman born with a twin snake. Soon thereafter, the Rajah and his men kill all the pregnant women within his realm and other islands as they get to, in the hope of killing the mother of the still unborn baby who is predicted to kill him. Meanwhile, in the tribe of one of Rajah Mangubat's allies, Datu Bugna finds out that both his wife and his slave mistress are pregnant. He hopes that his wife's second child will now be a son who can become his heir. Unfortunately, Dian Lamitan gives birth to another baby girl which disappoints the Datu. On the same night, Dal'Lang also gives birth to a baby girl. But upon hearing that the baby, named Amaya, is born with a twin snake, Datu Bugna suddenly gets excited as it only means Amaya is blessed by their ancestor's spirits and will play an important role in her destiny. Shortly after that, Rajah Mangubat arrives in Datu Bugna's tribe, asking if there had been any babies born that day with a twin snake. Datu Bugna admits his wife and his mistress have both just given birth but is able to avoid telling the entire truth. Datu Bugna then decides to separate the snake from Amaya to protect her from whatever the Rajah intends to do with her. Datu Bugna then raises Amaya as a binukot, a princess who is kept inside a room, hidden from the public, until she gets married. One night, Amaya finds a way to sneak out of her room.
