Xandra explained that some time ago, the Faeries had seen her magical potential and brought her to their kingdom to study with them. However, she learned that far from being Neopia's protectors, the Faeries had great power but hardly ever intervened. She urged them to get more involved, but they refused. This was an unreasonable injustice to Xandra, and she grew to see the faeries as "winged tyrants", and Faerieland their symbol of power. | Xandra explained that some time ago, the Faeries had seen her magical potential and brought her to their kingdom to study with them.

Hanso remembered the 'Nox' he saw cast the spell called Faeries "winged tyrants" - and realised 'Nox' must have been Xandra in disguise.

Xandra hoped to rebuild Neopia with Neopets and their own strengths, not through the blessings of the faeries. Seeing their potential, she offered Brynn and Hanso a chance to join her: Brynn refused at once, but Hanso listened. Xandra said that if Hanso helped her rebuild, he would be remembered as a hero, not a thief. Recalling the distrust from his fellow heroes - including Brynn - and despite Brynn begging for his help, Hanso instead seemed to agree to Xandra's offer. | Xandra hoped to rebuild Neopia with Neopets and their own strengths, not through the blessings of the faeries.
