The couple had brought in the statue, both weeping, and
eventually managed to explain how the Fair Folk had betrayed them, and turned
their son into stone.
As I prepared the mixture, I kept asking them what the exact
wording of the deal with the Fair Folk had been. They responded with more and
more confusion each time, until finally the taller woman snapped at me, asking
why it was so important.
I told them, that if they were speaking honestly, it wasn’t,
and then I poured the mixture onto him.
He became flesh, as his mothers turned to stone.
