The bird was transformed into a beautiful woman with long hair that swirled about her, and a crown of glistening sea shells upon her head. Birds came from distant tree's and from their beaks showered her with pieces of shining flint that clung to her so that she was attired all in silver. Animals returned to the kingdom and crops and flowers began instantly to grow from the barren soil.
The fallowing day, as the sun rose brilliantly over the ocean, a thundering sound could be heard, and six enchanted horses appeared at the castle gates dragging a golden carriage behind. The Fairy Queen stepped from inside and all her subjects bowed down. Fallowing her was the fairy from the sea cave, who had proved herself most certainly good, by doing the true Queen's bidding and ensuring that the Princess Meadow was ready when her destiny came for her.
Under the Fairy Queen's watchful eye, the Princess Meadow and the woodcutters son were married, and the joy of the young couple was so great that magic returned to the land and all in Fairyland were thenceforward free and happy. Excepting, of coarse, the Queen, who was nowhere to be found. In her place was a huge ugly bird with a cry so horrid it made the blood of all who heard it curdle. It was chased from the land and flew to a distant wood, where it was killed and eaten by the King, who had been driven to madness and despair by his wicked and unfruitful hunt for the Fairy Queen.
