No one in Fantasia is meant to read the book or they'll grow older as they read it and eventually turn to dust. Xayide now has the book and decides to read the book. April tells Gemma to go to Moonchild to tell her Xayide got the book. In the real world Gemma comes back and returns the book to Bastian. Bastian and Fallon read the rest of the book but Fallon asks Bastian to go back to a part where Xayide was still alive which means he turned back time in Fantasia bringing back Xayide. While they read the book, Fallon said she liked the part about Xayide then Bastian sees her eyes turn yellow.
