Summary of Darna Episode 3
(April 6, 2005, Wednesday).

Aio is undaunted. She gathers her powers and throws them at Braguda. Braguda falls unconscious. Aio retrieves the magic stone but says the villain’s condition is only temporary.

Narda is crying. Aio appears to her, beautiful and radiant. She insists that the magic stone is for Narda and it is her destiny to keep the stone and continue the good work of the Adranika. She says Narda must uphold justice and righteousness in her world. Narda doesn’t understand. She takes back the stone. Prospera calls and Aio disappears.

Narda’s family hopes that with Valentina back, things will get better. The grandmother coughs and becomes ill. Narda begs for her to be taken to a hospital. Prospera tells her the old woman is just making an excuse to skip work next day.

Valentina meets Narda later and offers her medicine. Narda unsuspecting gives it to her grandmother who gets worse. Next day, she takes her grandmother to a kind old man. She shows him the bottle of medicine and he says it is poison. She asks if her grandma will die. He says God is merciful. He reminds her to get rid of the poison.

A dark man with the face and form of a skeleton comes to Braguda’s side. He calls her his mistress (his master) and tells her to rest. He says she will rise again. A red light covers the queen as she falls into a deep slumber.

Valentina is crying alone. Her palms are turning green. Prospera sees her and asks what’s wrong. She cries and tells her mother she doesn’t like what is happening to her. She glows a sick green. Prospera is horrified and embraces her.

The townspeople notice that everyone around Narda has been either dying, getting sick, or going missing. They say she is a bane to their town and must be gotten rid of before more get hurt. They tell this to the priest who is unable to dissuade them. Efren is passing by on a bike outside and hears.

Efren goes to Narda’s hut that night and warns her family they must leave. Narda wakes up Ding and they get their belongings and leave.

The villagers go to Prospera’s hacienda demanding the girl be turned over to them. She tells them she’s not hiding Narda and they can do with her as they please if they find her. They find her hut empty.

The people see Narda’s family fleeing. Efren stands in the way and gets hit. The people are unable to catch up with the family. Efren meets them on the way out of the town with his head bleeding. He tells Narda he ran away from his father when he heard of Nanay Ising’s death, so he could see Narda. The two friends bid farewell to each other with a promise to remember each other.

Running for their lives, the family reaches a bridge. They meet a young couple with their infant child. The man asks Narda’s grandma to carry the child while he helps his wife cross the bridge as she is afraid. Narda’s grandma does so. She talks to the baby as they watch the couple cross the bridge.

The omnipresent sea monster appears again and frightens them. The young couple is lost. Narda and her relatives cower in fear. Aio is nearby but they do not see her. She says no harm must come to the stone-keeper. She decides to use her remaining powers to destroy the monster. Aio gives all of her power to destroy it. The serpent writhes in the air and dies. Aio transforms into an old woman as a result of her sacrifice.

Eight years later, Narda has grown into a beautiful young woman. She dreams of looking up at the sky. The sun is beaming down at her and she gazes at it with a radiant smile.
