The queen was gorgeous, but she chose King Nala over the Gods. Many people opposed their marriage and told them that they had angered the Gods who were furious with the queen for marrying a human and were jealous of their togetherness.

After a while, the queen started having weird dreams of a spirit asking her if it could come inside. One night the queen replied yes to the spirit and the evil spirit entered her body.
