Plot summary
At the Faerie Festival, Hanso the Ixi was looking for things to steal. Whatever jewellery the Faeries were wearing was turned to stone with them, but plenty of their possessions were not on their person and were left unaltered. Hanso was not the only visitor to the Festival - shortly after Hanso arrived, King Altador and his guards, and Brynn, who was sent by King Hagan, arrived on the scene to investigate the curse. Hanso reveals himself and tries to sell them information, closely followed by King Jazan, who reveals he has been tailing Hanso after he saw him stealing from the fossilised faeries. Jazan accuses Hanso of being involved in the curse.
Altador asked if Jazan was there to free the faeries from the curse, to which hesitantly responded he was. Although Jazan did not trust him, Brynn reminded Altador that Hanso was their only lead, and they agreed to hear him out.
Hanso explained that he was on the way to the festival - "You mean you were going to steal from the faeries at their festival." - he saw Hubrid Nox, who was holding a shiny artefact and chanting an incantation. After a blinding flash of light, Nox had vanished and all the faeries were stone. Although Jazan and Altador doubted Hubrid Nox would be powerful enough to affect all the faeries, Byrnn vouched that he would have no reason to lie, and that the artefact Hanso claimed to have seen may have something to do with it.
The group headed in to Faerie City to see Xandra, a Faerieland resident who too was investigating the curse. On seeing Hanso, however, she became enraged - he had stolen several valuable artefacts from her hut earlier.
Hanso confessed that while he didn't lie about seeing Hubrid Nox, it wasn't the whole truth - he had broken into Xandra's hut, too. "It's a pretty good story, actually..."
