About
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.

Season 1
Betrayal
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".
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.
The Master Builder
One day, the Elf inventor, Snakehammer, is hit by a falling chestnut and loses his memory. The trolls "adopt" him - in return, he constructs an enormous machine, which paves the way to erecting a new city, "Trollopolis". Thalia and Daiman's efforts to stop Snakehammer and his machine fail miserably, but when Snakehammer regains his memory, he realizes that he must quickly reverse the machine to save the Meadowlands.
The Cure
When elf leader Lord Kann becomes seriously ill, Phaedon speaks of Fala's abilities as a healer. Daiman kidnaps Fala and takes her to the fortress, with Thalia and Rowan secretly following in pursuit. When Fala hears that Snakehammer is the one treating Lord Kann, she realizes that she must help. Lord Kann recovers and immediately imprisons all three fairies. A clever plan devised by Daiman helps the fairies narrowly escape from the fortress.
Rainmaker
While the Meadowlands are overwhelmed by a serious drought, the traitor Phaedon devises a cunning plot to aid Lord Kann in his conquest of the fairy village. Phaedon begs the fairies to rely on his magic to end the drought. He will need Thalia to assist his magic, by playing her harp. Phaedon's magic brings on some rain, which turns into a fierce storm that floods the Meadowlands and allows Lord Kann's submarine fleet to invade. Phaedon convinces Thalia and the fairy council that this is her fault. However, Daiman persuades Thalia to trust herself and her own magic abilities. She once again takes up her harp and plays. The storm subsides and the dangerous flood ebbs away, with the invading elf forces retreating in its wake.
The Green Golem
After being banished from the Citadel by an angry Lord Kann, Snakehammer observes how the Trolls mysteriously transform a strange, green 'mud' into every tool they desire. He reports this to Lord Kann who sends Captain Daiman and a small elf search party to collect this 'mud'. Thalia is gathering tulip dust, when she observes the elves and secretly follows them into Troll territory. Daiman, Balabust and Snakehammer locate the magic mud and use it to create a huge monster, to ward off an attack by the Trolls. This "Green Golem" goes on a rampage and only Thalia can destroy it.
Reflection of Evil
When one of Phaedon's magical spells fails, Thalia's reflection in a pool comes to life. The evil double takes Thalia's place. Although the fairies are astonished by Thalia's strange behavior, only Daiman realizes that Thalia is not herself. When Lord Kann tries to use the double to the elves' advantage, the fairies capture Daiman. Thalia's friends are the only ones who can help free her and defeat the evil twin.
Beetle Assault
In order to enhance their elf cavalry, Daiman and Balabust drive a herd of flying beetles to the Meadowlands. Everyone has great fun, especially as a female beetle falls heavily for Balabust. However, the immense appetites of the bugs have a devastating effect on the flowery meadows. Balabust, disguised as a bug, plays the role of the lead insect to herd the beetles back home.
