Josephine, a young orphan who finally finds out she is no ordinary mortal after reaching the age of 18. After years of being raised by her foster parents, Josephine finds out she is the 'Takda' or Chosen One with divine powers and must help save the world from the Kasamyan, who are evil creatures from Lower Earth. After becoming a full-fledged goddess, Josephine also discovers that she has the power of the earth, wind and water. To harness these powers, she takes the form of a centauride (half-horse), a mermaid (half-fish), and a siren (half-bird). However, Josephine has to make a choice of whether she heed the call of her destiny and save the dying world of the gods and goddesses and leave the life she has lived for 18 year or will she resist her new role as a goddess and give up her powers to stay in the human world with the mortal she loves.<ref>[http://www.pep.ph/news/17390/FIRST-READ-ON-PEP:-Anne-Curtis-fulfills-childhood-dream-by-playing-mermaid-in-Dyosa Anne Curtis fulfills childhood dream by playing mermaid in 'Dyosa']</ref> |

Long time ago while the world was being created, the world of the immortals was also being formed by the mighty [[Bathala]]. These enchanted creatures had the responsibility to look after nature and its inhabitants (humans). The world of the ''Engkantos'' was soon divided into two distinct groups –the Kabanuas, who are benevolent, and the Kasamayans, who are evil. Both factions were engaged in years of bitter war. Apo Suga, the leader of the Kabanua, asks the Sun God to bring peace to the world of the Engkantos. The Sun God granted Suga’s wish and told him that one of his daughters will bear a child, who is a "''Dyosa''"’ or goddess that will have the strength to bring peace and unite the Kabanuas and Kasamayans. |

Apo Suga soon had a dilemma on which of his two daughters – Mariang Sinukuan and Mariang Magayon -will conceive the Dyosa in her womb. The Sun God told him that the one that has a pure heart will bear the Dyosa of Nature. Apo Suga puts his two daughters to a test to determine which of the two will become the mother of Dyosa. Apong Suga was satisfied with Sinukuan’s reply to his test and was crowned as the princess and heir to the Kabanua throne. Apong Suga then arranged for Mariang Sinukuan to be married to Tadaklan, the leader of the Kasamayans, with the hope of achieving peace tintheir world. Apong Suga, however, had no knowledge that Sinukuan was in love with [[Bernardo Carpio]], a Kabanua warrior. |

It didn’t take long before Josephine could realize what Bakos has previously told her. While traveling across the sea their boat was robbed by bandits. During the commotion Josephine’s brother fell off the boat. Josephine quickly jumped into the water to save her little brother. As she swims underneath the water, Josephine suddenly transforms into mermaid (Dyosa Agua) and was able to bring her brother to the surface and hang him at the side of the boat. After saving her brother, Josephine puts her attention to the bandits, she summon a couple of whirlpools and used it to toss the bandits into the water. Josephine doesn’t want to scare the people on the boat, so she decided to swim to a nearby shore. After landing off the coast, Josephine made another transformation, this time into a centaur- a half-man, half-horse creature (Dyosa Tierra). As she runs into the island’s interior, the trees gave their respect by bowing to Josephine. Two armed men spotted her and tries to shoot her, Josephine attempts to escape but reach a dead – a cliff. As the armed men approach her, Josephine slipped and fell off the cliff, this time she transform into a half-man, half-eagle – Dyosa Cielo and fly her way out of danger. |
|||
After years of absence, Bakos finally returns to Kabanua, the Kabanuans hardly recognized him and thought that he’s a maligno. Bakos was shocked to find out that Magayon’s daughter will be crowned today a as a new Takda. Amang Suga was about to put the Tiara on Diana’s head, when Bakos came forth and tries to stop the coronation. Bakos revealed to Amang Suga that Sinukuan’s daughter - the real Takda is still alive. Magayon was stunned to learn that Sinukuan’s daughter survived. |
|||
Josephine manages to escape from the huntsmen and while flying across the sky the Haring Araw made an apparition. Josephine was told that her sudden transformation into three different beings is just a premonition of being the Takda. The powers to control land air and sea was bestowed upon her to fulfill the prophecy but the Haring Araw warned her that the path will be rough and a lot perils will come along the way. After talking to the Haring Araw, Josephine found herself lying on the beach – naked. She thought that she was just dreaming but Kulas was there to validate that she really is a Dyosa and introduce himself as a Gibut???. But despite experiencing the signs of being a Goddess, Josephine refuses to accept her fate and was in a state of denial. Kulas tries to convince Josephine to come to Kabanua with him but the young lady thought that Kulas is just putting a gag on her. |
|||
===Chapter Three: Diana's Quest=== |
|||
At Kabanua, Diana was very upset after her coronation as a Takda was call-off after Amang Suga was informed that Sinukuan’s daughter was still alive. Diana went to Kasamian to inform her lover Adonis that Sinukuan’s daughter is still alive, Adonis was very angry because it might endangered the Kasamian’s aspiration of obtaining back their old facial appearances. Meanwhile Bakos was ordered by amang Suga and the Lakans to fetch Josephine from the world of mortals and bring her to Kasamian. Bakos quickly went to Josephine’s house and finally showed himself to Huling and Miong and despite Huling’s apprehension, Bakos went ahead to see Josephine in her room. Bakos showed the Tiara and tries to convince her to come in Kabanua and be crowned as the Takda. |
|||
Since learning that Sinukuan’s daughter was still alive, Diana grew restless and relentlessly practiced her powers in preparation for a face-off with her half sister Josephine. Without informing her mother, Diana decides to go to the mortal world. She used her powers to drill a hole from the immortal world into the world of mortals. |
|||
===Chapter Four: Humble Heroine=== |
|||
After Kulas and Bakos both failed to convince Josephine, one of the Lakans from Kabanua took his opportunity to persuade Josephine to accept her fate as a Goddess, but to no avail. Josephine’s earlier experience though, it not necessarily persuaded her to accept the Dyosa tag, it opens Josephine’s eyes that her power can be used to help others in need. |
|||
Josephine’s encounter with the Kasamians was soon followed by a more dangerous one, while walking on her way home, she was abducted by two manananggals. After threatening that she will become their next meal, Josephine abruptly transformed into Dyosa Cielo and fought the malignos - hurling them to the ground. The two manananggals then turned their attention to Miong and Venus, snatching both of them into the air. The malignos threatens Josephine to drop the two and teased her which of the two shall she save first. Venus was dropped first and was saved by Josephine but Miong was not so lucky as he plummet to the ground. Miong was rushed into the hospital and was in severe pain. At the hospital, Huling and Josephine were intrigued by a delirious man (Zanjoe Marudo) who repeatedly moans the word “Dyosa”. |
|||
Bakos tries to make Josephine recite several Kabanua chant or codes that she can use to transform into three different types Dyosas. The goat was very joyful to see that there is some improvement over Josephine’s stance as being a Dyosa. She told Bakos that she had already accepted her powers and intends to use it for the good of others, although she still refuses to come to Kasamian and leave her family behind. |
|||
===Chapter Five: Dyosa Comics, Help or Trouble?=== |
|||
Sinukuan was overjoyed to finally see her long lost daughter but she didn’t reveal her identity because it might compromise the safety of the Takda. Amang Suga had a strict instruction to Sinukuan, not to reveal her real identity until the Takda has been crowned the Queen of Kabanua. It was night again and it is time for Adonis to snatch another victim, Diana who was just nearby and is currently interrogating a Takda suspect, sensed the presence of Adonis. Diana quickly abandons her victim and teleported to Adonis’s location. After avoiding her since going to the mortal world, Adonis had a changed of heart assuring Diana that they will work together in finding the Takda. |
|||
The launch of Dyosa comics is set to commence but its model Clarrise(Diana) is nowhere to be found because she has spent an intimate night with Adonis. Huling and Miong were stunned to see Sinukuan after 18 years but they were unable to talk much because of the event but promised to keep in touch with each other. The show went well until a technical glitch threatens to ruin the show. One of the harnesses that supports the model of Dyosa Cielo gave in. Josephine rushed to the dressing room and transforms into Dyosa Cielo. The goddess of air came just in the nick of time to save the model from falling from off the ceiling. Mars was staggered by what he saw because it was the exact creature that he’s been drawing throughout the years. Mars tries to unravel the identity of Dyosa Cielo by running after the model but Josephine stalled his attempts. At the end of the launch, Mars handed Huling and Miong copies of Dyosa comics which serves as a forewarning of things to come. |
|||
Meanwhile, Purita the witch noticed a copy of Dyosa comics and observed that it seem to have some similarities with what’s happening in the real world and the depiction of the Kasamians and the Kabanuas. Adonis quickly ordered his sentinels to get the illustrator of Dyosa comics. Mars was working overtime and was alone at the office when the Kasamians came and forcibly abducted him. |
|||
===Chapter Six: Goddess in Love=== |
|||
It didn’t surprise Adonis that the girl that he bumped into was the Takda, he ordered the witch to pinpoint the location of the Takda. The situation became very tense afterwards because Diana was able to locate his mansion and Adonis was in his handsome looks. The witch was able to make Adonis uglier just in time after Diana had entered the mansion. After much time and effort, the witch sited the whereabouts of Josephine and Kulas. Adonis finally solved the mystery behind his encounter with the Kasamian (Kulas) and learned that he’s the caretaker of the Takda. |
|||
Kulas is getting more and more in love with Josephine. In spite of Bakos’s repeated advice to stop his feelings, Kulas is adamant to reveal his love for Josephine. A perfect timing and opportunity came in Kulas’s way after Josephine agreed to come with him, at the beach this coming weekend. Meanwhile, Sinukuan had a frightening nightmare of a forthcoming danger, so she decided to consult Mars via mental telepathy to know what’s going to happen next. Mars became possessed and started to draw vigorously. Their communication was cut short after Adonis came by at the office to visit Mars. |
|||
Josephine became concerned about the effects of nightmares to Mars’s mind, so she decided to surprise him by showing as Dyosa Cielo. Mars was overwhelmed to see the creature he had always dreamt of meeting. Dyosa Cielo assured Mars that he’s not losing his mind and all of his nightmares are true. Dyosa Cielo advised Mars to use his gift in helping those who are in need. Before leaving, Mars requested for a kiss but Dyosa Cielo says that despite her appearance she is still conservative. |
|||
===Chapter Seven: Powerless=== |
|||
At Kabanua, Amang Suga noticed something fishy about her daughter, so he instructed Hiyas to spy on Magayon. Magayon was caught red-handed while delivering a Lambana on Kasamian to become a slave. She was immediately arrested and was put to trial at the council for treason, After Saliminsim gave a testimony of Magayon’s crime the council convicted Magayon of treachery and decided to remove her powers and was banished below. |
|||
Later on, Diana was surprised to see her mother in the mortal world. Magayon didn’t reveal the truth that she’s convicted in Kabanua, instead she pretended to miss her daughter and wanted to help in finding the Takda. |
|||
===Chapter Eight: Outrageous Revelations=== |
|||
Diana was bewildered by Magayon’s revelation that Josephine is the Takda. Although Diana had developed some kind of special bond with Josephine, she is determined to finish-off the Takda whoever she may be. At Josephine’s house, Bakos and Kulas were carefully assessing of what their next move will be. Josephine is determined to assail the house of Clarisse and rescue her Nanay Huling and Tatay Miong but Kulas and Bakos totally opposed her idea, for as long as she doesn’t put on the tiara, she will have no chance of beating Magayon and Diana. |
|||
At Diana’s house, Diana finally discovered that her mother had no powers. This prompted Diana to seek the help of Adonis in slaying the Takda. Knowing that the Kasamians were masters of treachery, Magayon refused to work with them. Diana didn’t listen to her mother’s advice and went on to see Adonis. The prince of Kasamian was surprised that Diana had already found the Takda. Adonis decided to visit Josephine’s house but it is unclear whether Adonis will come to protect Josephine or to carry out the plan ahead of Diana’s. |
