Every year, the fairies must perform a magic ceremony to revitalize Salmacis and her sacred well. Menel is entrusted with gathering the necessary magical ingredients to perform the task. Informed by Phaedon, Lord Kann dispatches Daiman to capture the bag of herbs. Disguised as a fairy from another meadow, Daiman accompanies Menel and saves him from a variety of dangers without ever getting hold of the bag. However, Menel's stroll was just a diversionary maneuver, as Fala had actually collected all the necessary herbs and brought them back safely.
