On Thalia's birthday, Salmacis, the Spirit of the Well, predicts that Thalia will first betray and then save the Meadowlands. When Thalia loses her necklace, the evil traitor Phaedon takes it to Lord Kann's fortress where it is filled with a poisonous liquid. Daiman unsuspectingly takes it back to Thalia. Menel, the leader of the fairy council, inadvertently unleashes the poison upon the sacred well. Salmacis vanishes, fulfilling the first part of the prophecy. Continued in Episode 2 "The Invasion".

Suspected of treason, Thalia is locked up in her room while the Elf army invades her village. Daiman manages to steal the last drop of Snakehammer's antidote and fighting against the odds, is able to save Salmacis from certain death. Thalia escapes and together with her brother Rowan, she upsets a hornets' nest, to help chase away the elf army. The second part of the prophecy comes true as well.
