Disclaimer: I don't own Donkey Kong Country. I have decided there will be two chapters to this part.

Konoro knew peace for eons after the Crystal Coconut was created. The descendants of the Mage who had taken lead of the newly-dubbed island created what would later be known as the Kings of Kongo Bongo, the later being the region's new name. The Kings followed their ancestor's footsteps in ruling justly and peacefully, and were rather humble rulers in their own rights, allowing the peace to flow freely for all.
The Mage of Konoro had had a companion to help in establishing the laws and regularity of the new land. This companion, known only as the Banana Bird Queen, was immortal and made a promise to the Mage in his last days that she would continue to guide and advise the Kings till the end of the world's life. When the Coconut was stolen from its sanctuary deep in the forest, it was she who prevented the island falling into the sea when its power source was stolen.
After some centuries, the Coconut returned to its sanctuary, albeit at the cost of the King of the time's life. But, the Banana Bird Queen was safe from the fatigue of keeping the isle raised, and thus the island was saved too. The interesting thing is, the Crystal Coconut was sealed into the idol statue of the one who had sacrificed themself to have created it in the first place, Inka-Dinka-Doo. As a result, the Coconut's contact with the mystical idol allowed Inka's spirit to wander freely out of its case.
On one occasion he was out, he met the Banana Bird Queen.
She was surprised to find him out of the artifact, and asked what he was doing. Unfortunately, Inka's spirit's freedom came at the cost of his memory before becoming the Jewel, thus preventing him from knowing who she was. However, the Queen had other things on her mind.
She explained that she had had a terrible premonition and she believe his soul was in danger. Some time in the future, not yet though, a dark evil would collect the Soul Jems and use their power to bring about the end of peace they had lost so much to protect.
Inka was horrified. The power of his fear caused many traps to spring forth and protect the temple that was now and forever would be his home. These traps prevented the sanctuary from being looted by scavengers who would dare desicrate such sacred ground. In time, he allowed the ones with auras that felt somehow familiar to him to enter and became another person of guidance and advice to the Island's Kings.
The Banana Bird Queen, meanwhile, continued her promise made to the Mage. As the years went by, and her premonition haunted its way back into her memory again, however, she searched frantically, to see if there was anyone who was capable of stopping the evil that dare threatened the world.
And, eventually, she found them.
