SI HIRAYA AT ANG DIWA l Sinagtala
Created by Erika Malelang, Mae Malelang, and Erica Chloe Manalac

Napadpad at naligaw si Hiraya sa gitna ng kakahuyan nang sinubukan niyang tumakbo mula sa mga nagpuputol ng mga puno. Habang hinahanap ang daan pauwi, nakakita siya ng isang Diwata na siyang tumulong upang siya ay makaalis sa gubat.

Humingi ng tawad ang Diwata, ipinaliwanag niya na siya ang dahilan kung bakit siya naliligaw sa kagubatan ngunit sinabi niyang hindi si Hiraya ang sinusubukan niyang iligaw, kung hindi ang mga pumuputol ng mga puno. Unti-unti na ring nanghihina ang Diwata at ipinaliwanag pa niya na kung tuluyan nang makakalbo ang kakahuyan, tuluyan na rin siyang mawawala sa mundo.
