It is the Queen of Fairies, she is wearing a dress of snowflakes, on her head is a silver crown of dewdrops. Large wings flutter under her yellow hair and she carries a star wand. She takes the Jet Ring from your hand and taps her wand on the floor. A pedestal appears in the centre of the cavern, and she places the Jet Ring under the dome closes and locks it. She then turns to Jackie Jet and taps her on the head with the wand, the black robe she was wearing vanishes and so too does the trance she was under. The sound of tiny feet can be heard as the other fairies enter the cavern, they then start to dance around the cavern with Jackie, rejoicing that she too is now a new Crystal Keeper. The Queen lets them dance for a while then tells them all to return to their own caverns, now that all is back to normal. The Queen then turns and looks at you and says "Thank you for helping, if ever YOU wish to become a Crystal Keeper, then just walk over a rainbow with your own Crystal Treasure and your wish will come true....
