Brynn explained that it seemed all of Neopia seemed drained, and everything was decaying or dying. Jazan wondered if the Faeries were more involved in the well-being of the planet than they had realised. The heroes realised they needed to reverse the spell as soon as they could, and Xandra resolved to try. They moved out in to the open, and Brynn and Hanso held the artefact up for Xandra while the heroes defended them against the renewed forces of the wraiths. | Brynn explained that it seemed all of Neopia seemed drained, and everything was decaying or dying.

As the ritual was completed, the artefact exploded. Hanso picked himself up, and saw Brynn still lying on the ground, while outside of Xandra's magical barrier, the heroes had been turned to stone. The Phantoms closed in on Xandra, who scoured them away with green flames. | As the ritual was completed, the artefact exploded.

Xandra revealed she had caused Faerieland to crash as a symbol because she saw Faeries as "winged tyrants" - and Hanso realised that the Nox he saw casting the spell had been her in disguise. Xandra that the Faeries had much power but didn't get involved enough in the affairs of Neopets, despite her urgings. The artefact Hanso had stolen and the artefact they found in the ruin had served to amplify her magic so she could overwhelm the Faeries. | |||
Xandra wanted to rebuild Neopia with Neopets and their own strengths, not the blessings of the Faeries. She asked Brynn and Hanso 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 the heroes has shown him, Hanso agreed to help her. | |||
