• Diana Zubiri and Alfred Vargas

Aquil fell in love with Danaya at some point in the series. Danaya also fell in love with Aquil but refuses to admit it; she hides it through her anger and pride. Aside from Ynang Reyna and her sisters, Aquil is the only one who can soften Danaya's heart. Danaya often makes fun of him but can also be jealous at times. When the diwatas were watching an Encantado taking a bath she orders them to go back to their duty only to reveal that Encantado is Aquil she giggles at him before leaving. One time Aquil caught Danaya taking away his clothes while he was taking a bath Danaya tells him this is his punishment. Aquil later comes back to the camp wearing an undergarment made out of leaves. Danaya even got jealous of a sword when Aquil was still thinking about the sword's condition while she already got hurt and wounded. In terms of support, Lira is their pairing's main supporter in the series.

Danaya repeatedly telling Aquil "I love you!"

She suggests Aquil to kiss Danaya. A flustered Aquil replies it is an insult to do that. Lira then teaches Aquil the meaning of the words "I love you" and encourages him to tell it to Danaya to which Aquil says he can't do that and Lira comments how cowardly he is then, Lira teaches Danaya how to frighten someone. She instructs her to tell that person "I love you" in an angry tone. After this she calls for Aquil and Danaya tells him I love you! Danaya then asked Lira if she did a good job. Lira tells her to go near and tell him again Danaya goes nearer and tells him thrice in

an threatening voice I love you! Making Aquil dumbfounded. After Danaya leaves, Lira pats Aquil and tells him she is right about her ashti. Since then, Danaya would often tell Aquil "I love you!" or "I love you ka talaga!" and Aquil would smile at the remark or even respond. It is revealed that Danaya knew the true meaning of the words the whole time. Danaya was heartbroken when Aquil died. She somehow figured out the true meaning of "I love you." as she admitted to Lira that she knew. In book 3 Aquil returned from Devas only to arrive at the time Avria was pretending to be Danaya. When this was found out, the real Danaya had returned to her original body. When asking for proof, Danaya told Aquil the words he knows very well, "I love you." Aquil then believes it is the real Danaya. At some point, Danaya felt like she was hurting Aquil so she asked Emre to allow them to have a collective dream but during the dream Danaya decides not to push through with bearing a child with Aquil as they are in the middle of the war. When the battle was over Aquil was about to leave for Devas but Danaya asks him to stay. During the final episode, Danaya is with Aquil and they have a child.
