Quick recap

Qibli watches his friends fly off with Darkstalker and finds the spell that makes everyone trust him. Qibli's earring protects his mind, so he copies it and hands out copies. At the same time he takes on his grandfather Vulture, the crime boss of the Scorpion Den, who plans to topple Queen Thorn. Darkstalker unleashes a plague on the IceWings, and the earrings save the survivors. Captured, Qibli turns down Darkstalker's offer of partnership and hands him an object that measures good and evil in a soul. Darkstalker's mother, Foeslayer, tricks him into a second chance: he becomes a dragonet with no memories. Pyrrhia is at peace again.
