Plot Summary: Saving Fairytopia

Elina is a flower fairy who lives in Fairytopia with her cute pet, Bibble. Unlike other fairies, Elina does not have wings. Sometimes, other fairies make fun of her for this. Elina and her friend Dandelion hear that Topaz, one of Fairytopia's guardians, has been taken. Elina goes back to her flower home, Peony, feeling worried.

The truth is, Topaz was kidnapped by Laverna. Laverna is the evil twin sister of the Enchantress, who is Fairytopia's kind ruler. Laverna has poisoned her sister and plans to capture all seven of Fairytopia’s guardians. Her helpers will spread a special mist all over Fairytopia. This mist will make all winged creatures weak. Laverna hopes that without other options, the fairies will ask her for a cure. Then, they will make her their queen.

The Spreading Mist and Elina's Journey

The next morning, Elina and Bibble wake up to find their home, Peony, and other fairy homes looking sick. Laverna's mist has made them ill. Elina, Dandelion, and Bibble decide to find help from Azura, another guardian. As they enter a forest, Dandelion breathes some of Laverna's mist. She becomes too weak to fly and has to go back home.

Elina and Bibble try to see Azura but are turned away. They sneak into Azura's house and are found by Azura herself. Azura sees a rainbow in Elina's eye. This means Elina is meant for great things. Elina doesn't believe this about herself. Azura tells her that Laverna is causing trouble for all of Fairytopia. The next morning, Azura plans to visit Dahlia, a dryad who used to follow Laverna. Azura asks Elina to take care of her magic necklace.

A New Hope: The Rainbow in Elina's Eye

The next morning, as Azura is about to leave, one of Laverna's helpers, a Fungus, kidnaps her. Elina wakes up and is blamed for Azura's disappearance. Luckily, Hue, a giant butterfly, rescues her. At Laverna's home, the Fungi bring Azura, but Laverna is angry because Azura's necklace is gone. The Fungi tell Laverna that a fairy without wings has it. Laverna realizes that a wingless fairy would not be affected by her mist. She orders her helpers to find Elina.

Hue and Elina are chased by Laverna's firebirds. They escape when Prince Nalu, a merman, gives them seaweed. This seaweed lets them breathe underwater. The group finally reaches Dahlia’s home. Dahlia doesn't want to help at first because the other guardians didn't trust her. But Elina convinces her to do what is right. Dahlia tells Elina that Laverna can take power from the fairy guardians' necklaces and use it herself. She says that the "union point" is Laverna's weakness.

The Final Battle and Elina's Reward

The group arrives at Laverna's lair. They plan to go inside and find the union point. Elina insists on going alone because she has Azura's necklace. While her friends create a distraction, Elina gets inside. She finds the guardians and her friends, all captured by the Fungi. Laverna agrees to let them go if Elina returns Azura's necklace. Elina refuses. Laverna then notices the rainbow in Elina's eye. Laverna promises to give Elina wings if she returns Azura's necklace. Elina feels hypnotized and walks towards Azura with the necklace. The union point, a crystal in Laverna's throne, starts to take power from the guardians' necklaces. Just as Elina is about to give back the necklace, Azura's words reach her. Elina breaks free from the trance. She rejects Laverna's offer and throws the necklace at the union point, shattering it. The guardians' powers overwhelm Laverna, and she disappears.

Back in the Magic Meadow, the fairies and flowers are healthy again. The Enchantress, now recovered, visits Elina and her friends. She thanks them for saving everyone. As a reward, she gives Elina her own magic necklace. This necklace magically gives Elina her very own pair of wings! Elina is overjoyed, and she and her friends fly together.
