Temple of the Snake King

The Temple of the Snake King is an ancient temple located in the Heart of the Amazon Rainforest, in the region of Maranhao of Brazil on Planet Earth. It is a rare find as archaeologist Tobias knew his colleagues would be envious of him. This temple serves as the Snake King's prison as he sealed here.

Overview
The temple is tall and carved out of rock as is everything else inside the temple. The temple is overrun by veins indicative of the temple's ancient age. The main attraction of this temple is the throne room where the Snake King is sealed. He is seated on the his throne and next to him is an empty throne and a ring called the Ring of Fate. Both thrones have scriptures that detail both the goals of the Snake King and his weakness.

On the Snake King's throne, the scriptures read: "Wife... with her the Snake King will reclaim his kingdom."

On the empty throne, the scriptures read: "There is no place for love to live in the Dark Lord."

All Amazonian Natives and Fairies know of this curse and heed its warnings. Although the Major Fairy of Nature Diana knows how to solve the curse, it is uncertain who else knows.

Season 4
After a long search, archaeologist Tobias finds the temple. Despite the Amazon Natives who accompanied him warning him of the curse, Tobias ignores them believing that it was simply out of fright and nothing more. When he enters the temple, he documents his findings via voice recordings noting the warrior statues and a painting of the Snake King and a woman carved in the temple walls.

He reaches the throne room where the Snake King is seated on his throne and next to the king, an empty throne. Tobias reads the scriptures on the throne and spots a ring that he found to be beautiful. He pockets the ring and knows who he will gift it to. As Tobias leaves, the Snake King's eyes glow red.

The Snake King awakens when Tobias' girlfriend, Iris, puts the ring on. The king stands from his throne and lets out a mighty roar that shook the ground and caused animals to flee. He begins his path to his bride. While he is out seeking his bride, Diana explains to the Winx the curse of the Snake King. He is a dangerous being who bring doom to the Earth and Iris if he touches the Ring of Fate which is stuck on Iris's finger. The only way to remove the ring is for Iris to sit on the bride's throne and remove it there. The Winx quickly teleport Tobias and Iris to the Amazon Rainforest where Tobias leads them to the temple.

In the temple, the group is ambushed by the warrior statues who awaken to make sure their king's bride is seated on the throne and ready for him. The warriors tie Iris onto the throne with veins and attack the Winx to keep them at bay. The Winx are having a hard to time dealing with the warriors until Stella said something that made Bloom realize that being trapped in the dark for centuries has made the statues vulnerable to light. With that Stella uses her Sirius' Shield spell to stun the statues. This in turn causes the veins to release their hold on Iris. But instead of taking off the ring, the frightened Iris steps off the throne only for Tobias to remind her that she needs to sit on the throne to remove it. Iris does not have the strength nor courage to do so right now and to make matters worse, the Snake King had returned to the temple after overpowering the Specialists.

The king approaches his soon-to-be bride but Tobias stands between them. The king is merely amused at his bravery and demands he leave him with Iris. Tobias though scared, recalls the king's weakness and proclaims his love for Iris. This effectively stuns the king and Tobias tells Iris to remove the ring. Iris does so and thus, the Snake King is resealed and the curse is over. Iris then asks Tobias if he truly did love her, the shy Tobias is unable to say it again but Iris knew and the two share loving embrace.

The group then leave the temple and Diana immediately scolds Tobias for ignoring the warnings of the curse. Tobias reassures her that will never do that again, having learned his lesson. With the curse dealt with the Winx teleport themselves, Tobias, and Iris back to the Frutti Music Bar.
