– and eventually reach Otherland.There they meet the Fairy Queen, who offers them a challenge: if they can successfully complete three impossible tasks, they may take Shilpa back to the real world. But if they fail, they’ll all be trapped in Otherland together.
The first task the Queen sets is to find her lost necklace. Rohan and Myra set off through Otherland to find it and eventually reach The Lost Cave – where all lost things go. After much searching they recover the necklace – and Myra also steals an iron dagger – but on their way back to the Queen they stray off the path and are attacked
by magical beings. Mab appears and rescues them and together they return to the Queen, who accepts the necklace and offers them a drink, which Myra accepts – causing her to fall into a deep sleep.
Myra wakes up, feeling terrible, and sees Rohan in the distance, coming towards her and bearing a sword. She tries to speak to him but he doesn’t seem to hear her, and as he is about to attack her she realises that she has been transformed into a dragon by the drink the Queen gave her. At the last moment, Rohan realises that the dragon is actually Myra, causing the spell to break, and Myra returns to her true form – which wins them the second task.
When they return to the Queen to receive their third and final task, Myra and Rohan overhear her talking to Mab and discover that Mab has never really been on their side, but has been helping the Queen all along.The Queen shows them Shilpa, who has started to transform into a Fairy herself, and reveals their final task to them
