Ybrahim's cause of death revealed in 'Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre'

"Encantadia Chronicles: Sang'gre" finally revealed the cause of death of Ybrahim (Ruru Madrid).

The King of Sapiro passed away earlier in the series, but there was no explanation for it. Now, Encantadiks finally got the answer: he died of a broken heart.

Monday's episode showed Ybrahim mourning Amihan (Kylie Padilla), who died in the 2016 "Encantandia."

Overwhelmed by grief, the King of Sapiro fell into a slump—neglecting his people and retreating into the shadows.

His people, along with Imaw, urged him to breathe new life into Sapiro by siring an heir who will take the throne after him. But Ybrahim could only cry out in despair.

The king said he already has a child—Lira (Mikee Quintos), his daughter by Amihan. However, the princess was part of the succession of Lireo, a duty she already declined.  

"Kailangan ng Sapiro anak na kikilalanin nito. Rehav, iyan ang pamanang iiwan mo sa lahat ng iyong nasasakupan," Imaw said.

"Binawi sa akin ng Bathala ang aking kaligayan, kung kaya't hayaan natin siya ang pumili kung sino ang babaeng magdadala ng pag-asa sa Sapiro," Ybrahim answered. 

Alarmed by Ybrahim's desperation, Imaw asked Bathalumang Emre to send Ybrahim the rightful woman who will stand as the Queen of Sapiro. 

With the help of a retre, Sapiro found a new queen in Ybrahim's former flame Alena (Gabbi Garcia) who gave birth to their daughter Armea (Ysabel Ortega).

As Armea became the heir of Sapiro, Alena abandoned her post as the queen of Lireo to be a mother, Ybrahim's wife, and the Queen of Sapiro.

Despite it all, Sapiro remained in despair, as Ybrahim continued to grieve the loss of his great love.

Clutching a miniature figure of Amihan, a tearful Ybrahim retreated into the darkness, confessing that he was tired of pretending to be happy.

As he voiced his regrets for himself, his daughters, and Alena, Ybrahim pleaded with Emre to let him let go of everything and be reunited with Amihan.

"Amihan, handa na ako," he said and hugged the figure tightly.

With these final words, a blinding light enveloped Ybrahim, who quietly and peacefully passed away on the throne.
