Description

A lonely elderly sultan, Barom-Mai lived most of his life alone. He adored a young princess, the daughter of a sea pirate, but she never cared for him. She would always leave the palace and the sultan lost hope. He confided t his advisers that he wished she would come back and love him for who is. Desperate, he asked the help of a half-mortal recluse living in Mt. Apo and told him he needed to harvest three things to make a spell, a special fruit that the noblewoman cannot resist: an egg of a black tabon, white carabao milk, and nectar from the only blossom of the make-believe tree.
