Ring of Fate

The Ring of Fate is a cursed jewellery that is tied to the Snake King's curse. It is intended for the Snake King's bride.

Overview
The ring is intended to entice a woman into putting the ring on, forcibly binding her to the Snake King until he can touch the ring. If he successfully touches the ring, their wedding will commence and it cannot be stopped, thus plunging the Earth and the bride into great danger. When the ring is put on, the Snake King will awaken and begin his journey to find his bride.

The only way to remove the ring is to sit on the bride's throne at the Temple of the Snake King; only the ring wearer can remove it. Should anyone else try to remove the ring it will stun them with a powerful shock, knocking them off their feet.

The ring emits a dark energy that magical beings can sense.

Appearance
Both Tobias and Iris have stated that the ring is beautiful. It has a gold band and where the ends meet the oval, red gem they curl downwards. The gem has an extra smaller round gem attached to the bottom.

Season 4
After the Snake King was sealed onto his throne, the ring has sat on the Snake King's bride's throne since ancient times waiting for someone to put it on. That happened when archaeologist Tobias ventured into the temple ignoring the Amazon Natives' warnings and took the ring, gifted the ring his girlfriend Iris who puts it on. This awakens the Snake King who begins his search for his bride.

Bloom warned Iris too late and explains that the ring emits a dark energy, something a fairy like her can sense. Iris does believe her because she is unable to take it off. When Bloom tries, the ring sends a powerful blast that knocks her off her feet. Diana, the Major Fairy of Nature, who was made aware of the curse returning when the king awoke, contacts the Winx. She explains that the Snake King will bring doom to Earth and Iris if he is touches the ring. To stop the curse, the ring wearer must sit on the bride's throne at the Temple of the Snake King and remove the ring; only the ring wearer can remove the ring.

With no time to waste, the Winx teleport themselves, Tobias, and Iris to the Amazon Rainforest. Iris is mad at Tobias for giving her a cursed ring, he argued that was never his intention. Iris was even more irritated that he did not even ask her (a marriage proposal) which confuses Tobias. She expresses her irritation to Bloom who assures her that Tobias loves her. Iris does believe it as well, as she looks at the ring on her finger. Bloom then reminds her that they have an important task at hand.

Tobias leads them to the temple and upon entering, they are attacked by the warrior statues whose duties are to keep the bride in the temple for their master. They trap Iris onto the bride's throne and have the upper hand against the Winx. Stella however was able to stun them temporarily with light and the veins release their hold on Iris. Out of sheer survival instinct, Iris leaves the throne instead of removing the ring. Tobias encourages her to do so but Iris is too frightened to be able to. To make matters worse, the Snake King has returned and demands Tobias to leave him with his bride. His imposing stature does paralyze Tobias who then remembers the scriptures that detailed the king's weakness and proclaims his love for Iris.

This effectively stuns the Snake King and gives Iris a chance to remove the ring, stating that she is already taken. The curse is now lifted.
