She climbs to the peak of the highest roof, the tallest tree, scales the biggest pylon, unaffected by vertigo and unafraid of the danger. There is something stoic and grand about her, as if she is carved from ancient stone, standing tall and proud for century after century. The soft curve of her lips pulls up into a smile when they tell her she is their pillar, the perfect support throughout hardship. She protects those who depend on her, offering them help in times of need.

In Philippine folklore, Oryol the naga was said to be the most terrifying being inside the forest of monsters. Queen of the fearsome mermaids called the Magindara, Oryol was unstoppable, and  Handiong was a beloved king who was set to slay Oryol, knew this.

 Though they battled, Handiong and Oryol came to the realization that they were equals in skill, and stopped and grew to admire each other, and eventually fell in love.
