Episode synopsis
When a gypsy visits the fairy village selling starflower bonnets, everyone is intrigued - for varying reasons. Legend has it, that these flowers only grow by the secret gateway to the lost homeland of the elves. The gateway houses the "heart of stone"' a gem of immense power. This stone can open the final gate only if "two warring hearts are blended as one". Upon finding the stone, Phaedon reveals himself as a power hungry traitor, but accidentally destroys the gate, which Daiman and Thalia had opened. Everyone catches a brief glimpse of the land beyond the secret gateway, before it is closed again forever. The power of the stone removes everyone's memories of these events, and Phaedon's secret is safe once more.
About Shadow of the Elves
Almost microscopic in size, there exists a world hidden within our own; the Meadowlands is a delicate world of flowers as large as redwoods, and insects the size of dragons, where peaceful fairies take wing and comical trolls haunt the lowland swamps and inhabit dark, hidden caves. Without warning, a shroud of evil is creeping across the land... deep in the Dark Wood at the edge of the Meadowlands, the Elves have built their citadel in a gnarled ancient tree. Their malevolent leader, Lord Kann, lusts after control of the entire fairy empire and has vowed to conquer every corner of this magical realm.
