They meet an infuriating woman, Calliope, who claims that she is the keeper of the spire. As followed the team followed her to the top of the mountain, where the spire is located, Rapunzel, though she kept denying it, got more and more annoyed with Calliope's prideful behavior. However, as they reach the spire, they got attacked by a bear-like creature horns. It was there when Calliope confesses that she is not the real keeper, but the apprentice of the real keeper. Because of the unexpected disappearance of the keeper, she felt that she has lost purpose. But Rapunzel inspired her to try to become a real keeper. They managed to defeat the creature and get the scroll. Then, the real keeper appears and reveals that everything was a test. Now that Calliope passed the test, she is now the keeper. The group returns to the caravan to investigate the third piece, revealing a "man in a hood". As they wondered what it meant, Adira, who was watching from behind a tree, smiles suspiciously and walks away.
