Concerned over this impending issue, Foyra sent Roberta away to seek further assistance. | ||
Unfortunately, following Roberta's departure, Fyora was taken by surprise when the [[Darkest Faerie]] suddenly appeared and captured her. Later, after [[Tormund]] and [[Roberta]] meet each other for the first time, the two are also confronted by the ''Darkest Faerie'' who used an enchantment spell to make herself appear as Fyora. | |||
Realizing this, the pair activate a portal to [[Altador]] and attempt to recover [[Jerdana's Orb]] in order to repeat the act Fyora had committed nearly [[1,000 years ago|#1,000_BN]]. While Roberta and Tormund are away, Fyora eventually breaks free of her bonds and duels with The Darkest Faerie once again, only to be imprisoned within a [[glass bottle|Bottled Faerie]]. At last, when [[Roberta]]/[[Tormund]] (Depending on the character chosen by the player) defeat the [[Darkest Faerie]] and seal her within stone once more, Fyora is released from her bottle and congratulates the player for winning the battle. | |||
In the very last scene before the credits, Fyora makes a promise to keep an eye on the petrified [[Darkest Faerie]] statue, which she places in her personal garden. | |||

A group of various heroes, including characters such as [[Brynn]], [[Jazan]] and [[King Altador]] eventually arrive in [[Faerieland]] to investigate the matter, only to find [[Hanso]] attempting to pilfer the petrified Faeries various belongings. | ||
Immediately pinning Hanso as the 'villian' who turned the Faeries to stone, Brynn asks him to give a decent explanation before she decides to arrest him. Hanso at last tells his story, in which he accounts stealing an [[artifact]] from Faerieland resident [[Xandra]] and selling it to [[Hubrid Nox]], whom he claims to have witnessed turn the Faeries to stone using the very object he had sold him. | |||
Overhearing this, Xandra suddenly appears and recounts her side of the story, which is nearly identical to Hanso's. Ultimately deciding that Hubrid Nox is to blame for the incident, the group, taking both Hanso (On account of his suspected assistance to Nox) and Xandra (On account of her knowledge of the item sold to Nox) along, head to the [[Haunted Woods]] to capture and arrest him. | |||
Upon their arrival, however, they discover not only that Hubrid Nox is dead, but that Xandra disguised herself as Nox in order to purchase the artifact back from [[Hanso]]. Unleashing her power on the group, Hanso decides to sacrifice himself in order defeat her and remove the curse from the faeries. With this, he himself was turned to stone. | |||
Saddened that their new friend is forever gone, the group is suddenly confronted by Fyora, whom had recently been set free of the curse set by [[Xandra]], used the remains of her weakened power to restore Hanso. | |||

As Fyora had been petrified in stone during the majority of the event, she and her fellow Faerie citizens were unable to use their magic to keep [[Faerieland]] afloat, causing it to crash to the surface. At the conclusion of the event, Fyora announced that she and the other citizens of Faerieland would work hard to restore it, with hopes of someday sending it back to the clouds where it belongs. | As Fyora had been petrified in stone during the majority of the event, she and her fellow Faerie citizens were unable to use their magic to keep [[Faerieland]] afloat, causing it to crash to the surface of [[Neopia]] north of the [[Haunted Woods]].

In a short epilogue released after the event, Fyora appointed [[Brynn]] captain of her guards, and gave Hanso the task of recovering dangerous faerie artefacts to prevent them from falling into the wrong hands again.

It's worth noting that this seemingly contradicts the description presented in [[#The Hidden Tower|The Hidden Tower TCG card]], as one specifies that the tower was created by Fyora, while the other specifies that the tower was a long-lost location and was re-discovered by Celandra. For this reason, it is assumed that Fyora had been aware of the tower all along, and Celandra had simply come upon it, causing the Faerie Queen to open it up for business. | It's worth noting that this seemingly contradicts the description presented in [[#The Hidden Tower|The Hidden Tower TCG card]], as one specifies that the tower was created by Fyora, while the other specifies that the tower was a long-lost location and was re-discovered by Celandra.
