Daiman kidnaps Fala and takes her to the fortress, with Thalia and Rowan secretly following in pursuit. When Fala hears that Snakehammer is the one treating Lord Kann, she realizes that she must help. Lord Kann recovers and immediately imprisons all three fairies. A clever plan devised by Daiman helps the fairies narrowly escape from the fortress.
