In the depths of the ancient forest lies a shrine of deep red, rumored to hold an evil spell. This shrine, with its foreboding aura, has captivated the imaginations of many over the centuries. Tales of the evil spell it houses have spread far and wide, instilling fear in the hearts of those who hear them. Legend has it that the shrine was built by a nefarious sorcerer who sought to harness the power of darkness. It is said that he performed unspeakable rituals within the shrine walls, invoking dark spirits and weaving a spell that would bring misery and suffering upon anyone who dared to enter. Those who have been brave enough to approach the shrine claim to have felt an overwhelming sense of dread and despair as they neared its ominous entrance.
After draining Fay, you have about 15 seconds to decide if you want to destroy her (an evil act) or keep her stereotypically evil (strangely, a lawful act). Let Dark Fay stroll to the teleporter as her new self to achieve 100% domination (if you did the other tasks - see the Trophies and Achievements Page). Otherwise, fry her little brain with the Evil Presence spell. You should do that quickly, as if you let her touch the warp pad, the decision is made for you.
