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. Hanso seemed horrified as the Xweetok stood with an evil glint in her eye as Faerieland crashed behind them in a shower of fireballs. | As the ritual was completed, the artefact exploded.

However, she learned that with all that great power they possess, they chose not to get more involved in the affairs of the Neopians. And so she plotted to deal with them all and have the world of Neopets ruled by a single Neopet: her, specifically. The small artefact Hanso had stolen and the larger artefact they found in the ruin had both served simply to amplify her magic so she could overwhelm the Faeries, while the shadowy "Wraiths" were revealed as nothing more than a mere side-effect from the petrification spell. | ||

She | Xandra wanted to rebuild Neopia with Neopets and their own strengths, not the blessings of the Faeries. She offerd Brynn and Hanso a chancee 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, and despite Brynn begging for his help, Hanso instead agreed to Xandra's offer. | ||
