I am Juan, the youngest son of Don Fernando, and Doña Valeriana. I have two brothers. The eldest is Pedro, the second is Diego. I am close to my siblings. But as we grew up, I noticed that every time Don Pedro looked at me, it was as if he was angry with me.
The father king fell ill because of a nightmare. He dreamed that his youngest son, me, was captured and beaten by two mysterious men. And because of that, he can't sleep for several years.
Many physicians and doctors have traveled to the kingdom of Berbanya to examine the king's illness. But no one knows what the cure is.
One day, a physician arrived. He succeeded in finding the cure for the king's illness. The Adarna Bird. The voice, the song of the Adarna. But Adarna is only found on Mount Tabor. It leaves in the morning, and returns to Piedras Platas which is the Adarna's resting place.
Pedro traveled first, but he failed and turned into stone. It also happened to Diego. But me? I succeeded. But I was betrayed by two princes. They took the Adarna and deceived the king that they were the ones who captured it.
I went through many trials, I met Doña Juana, and Doña Leonora, my first love. But they were destined to be married to Pedro and Diego. I was deeply hurt, and so was Leonora. We loved each other. Seven years of waiting, and seven years of suffering. But I met you, the youngest son of the king of Reyno Delos Kristales, oh my love, I was captivated by your beauty. You stole my heart away from Leonora.
I planned to court you, even though King Salermo didn't accept me. He gave me difficult trials, but you were there, helping me.
I was at the altar, facing Leonora, whom I thought I loved. We ran away from your father because he couldn't accept that I had passed all the tests he gave us. But he cursed us.
I forgot you. I forgot what we were together because of the curse. You got angry. You reminded me of everything that happened to us. And I remembered. But my father said, 'the first one is the one who will be blessed.'
