They grew up fantasizing about who the boy in the glass coffin truly was. A near-death experience caused them both to retire from hunting, but they always had an internal pull to the Folk and to the boy in the glass coffin. Ben used his unearthly gift of music to lure creatures to them, while Hazel used her strength and sword to cut down the Folk. As children, Hazel and Ben secretly would go to the forest at night to hunt the Folk. Hazel and her brother, Ben, have lived in Fairfold all their lives and have always been drawn to the Folk. Anyone that attempts to break open this glass coffin has been met with explainable injuries, so the boy has stayed in his resting place for centuries. Tourists come from across the world to see the boy, but no one can explain his existence or his ageless body. In the woods, for as long as anyone can remember, a glass box has sat on the forest floor with a sleeping boy inside. They don’t even bat an eye when a tourist goes missing after a visit to the forest to try and catch a glimpse of the Folk.Įven among all this strangeness, the biggest mystery of all is the horned boy in the glass coffin. They don’t go to the forest hills at night. They thread flower garlands for the Alderking. They live alongside each other by appeasing the faeries. The people of Fairfold have always lived alongside the Faerie Folk and have grown accustomed to their way of life. Fairfold is just like any normal, small-town-except for the faeries.
