That seems like a very good idea for a bad ending.

Pixie uses the powers she didn't know she had and then dies because her frail body couldn't handle the sudden surge in energy.

The MC doesn't really know what to do in that situation, and while I have my doubts about the whole "Pixie is the MC's life-support" thing, it would still kind of break the story to have Pixie gone.

And yes, having to break the flow of a story to fetch some random goblin lady is really immersion breaking, don't see that changing.

TBH, I reckon Arc should poke the player even more to find Lyx. You meet her like she's just some random side character but at the end of the day she's pretty much crucial to the main story.
