It was October thirtieth. The Blitz were in their dorm. Kristina was looking at the stars aligned on the ceiling by her magic, the pets were playing some sort of game, Sou was reading, Lanie and Kayla were playing with the pixies, Alex was organizing the mail and Andrew was working out by firing at rocks from their dorm window.

"Hey, girls, Andrew check this out," Alex said reading a letter. "We are actually celebrating Hades' birthday this year".

"What?" everyone asked. They all stopped what they were doing

"You have to be joking," Andrew exclaimed. "We haven't celebrated that in years. Meaning never. We don't celebrate it since he is immortal and doesn't age".

"We are celebrating who's what?" Sou asked

"Oh right y'all don't know," Alex said. "Let me put it this way. We are celebrating Halloween".

"Hallo-what?" Sou asked again.

"Halloween," Kristina, Lanie and Kayla said. "I haven't celebrated that for a while now".

"What is Halloween?" Sou asked.

"It is a holiday with Jack-o-lanterns, costumes, and parties," Minerva said. "I have heard of it but never celebrated it".

"Girls, girls, calm yourselves," Andrew said. "Alex what does the letter say?"

"It says that we are invited to Hades' birthday party and the theme is Halloween," she responded. "Something can't be right. Luxa would never throw a party for something she didn't arrange and she knows that we don't celebrate his birthday".

"We need to check this out," Andrew said. He looked at his watch and tapped it occasionally. "Ugh, the way to get to town is closed at this time. We need to wait till tomorrow".

"Alright," everyone said. Thankfully to them the next day was a weekend.

"Well let's go to bed," Andrew said. The six fairies and pixies went to bed.

In Alex, Kayla and Sou's room Minerva was wide awake. She turned and saw Alex was awake. "Alex," she whispered. The brown haired fairy turned. "You awake too?"

"Yeah," Alex whispered back. "Thinking about what if they figure out we think something is up".

"Same here and I quickly figured out that we should just pretend we are there to have fun but now the only problem is our costumes".

"That I have taken care of. See the people of Reegen don't know that fairies exist. They just all think that Andrew and I are at school to finish our education so we can go to the party as our transformed selves. Also that maybe Maya should come because she should have a good time and that maybe she could regain her speech".

"Ok," Minerva said. "Now let's get some sleep". The fairy and pixie closed their eyes and went to sleep quickly.

The next day they woke up and told their friends what they had come up with last night. They all liked it. So the six of them transformed, Andrew just had to be ready to control his anger. They went outside where they saw Maya sitting on the well throwing rocks in. They invited her to come along and they all ran into a deep part of the forest and there, there was an item that was sort of like a crescent. It sparked in the middle constantly. The five girls questioned it but when the couple walked through they knew it was safe. So the five of them walked through as well. On the other side was a giant city with buildings made of cement. The place was dark but some light was illuminated by torches. The town was a ghost town.

"Where is everyone?" Kristina asked. "Last year this place was so busy that we had to squeeze our way through".

"This way," Alex led. She took them to a completely different side of town where there was a temple on one part and then in the other part there were a bunch of people. But it didn't seem crowded.

"Alex, Andrew," someone called. A girl ran to them. The light illuminated as so pale that it looked like she had a new born baby's skin, silver hair that sparkled in the fire and eyes that were a mix of orange, red and yellow. The colors formed the shape of fire that was really moving as if the fire around her was being reflected.

"Luxa darling," Alex said. "Too long it has been".

"It ain't been dat long," Luxa said. When she talked her words seemed to ramble and consist of words that weren't real. She would replace letters with different ones as well. The girls had trouble understanding her. Her voice also sounded like it had a southern drawl in it.

"English," Kristina said.

"Y'alls don't understand nu'in' I'm sayin".

"Don't," Alex said. "Remember this is just how she talks. Y'all are going to have to assume what she is saying".

"Come, come, the party hadn't been startin' yet". The girls followed. The crowd was full of girls.

"Where are the men?" Lanie asked.

"They had been fightin' fer several mondts now against oder people".

"Ah," they said. They went into the crowd and to hang around. The party began to seem normal at first but they weren't thirty minutes into it when Andrew fell to his knees gripping his head. Visions of two people flashed in his head. They were just standing there waiting. The girls ran up to him when they saw him doing this.

"What is wrong?" Alison and Kristina asked.

"Nothing just a… slight ergh… slight head…" he started. When he stopped the vision flashed in his head and before he could finish the vision permanently showed itself.

Andrew was with the two people. The space around them was white. "Greetings Andrew," the first person said. They were a guy who was dressed like Pandora normally would. He was dressed in armor and his helmet only showed his eyes, his nose and a bit of his mouth. His eyes were difficult to see though. He carried a shield and a spear.

"Uh, hello?" Andrew questioned.

"Andrew," the second one said. This one was a girl. She was pale and wore a chiton and a helmet but this one didn't cover her face. Her eyes were grey and hair was brown. She too carried a spear and shield. "That is no way to treat us especially after all we have done to protect you".

"Wait you…your".

"Ares," the man said.

"Athena," the woman said. "Now we don't have much time. Erinyes are about to attack your city. You and your friends need to stop them".

"Yes," Ares said. "We may not interfere. We are at war alongside the men".

"I understand my lord". He bowed and then got onto one knee.

"Rise," Ares and Athena said. He did as ordered. "Now you must go and don't tell anyone of us favoring you. Not even Alex".

The vision faded and he was still in the same place. "Andrew," Lanie said. "Are you okay? You stopped responding".

"Yeah but we need to get to town. It is about to be attacked".

"What makes you think that?" Pandora asked.

"I just do. Now we need to go," he responded. The seven fairies and six pixies ran or few into the city. And just as Andrew had said the town was being pursued by group of Erinyes. The group of fairies stared at the flying creatures.

"Maya," Sou said. "You should go and hide". Which was exactly what she did. Maya ran quickly towards a stone building and hid inside of it.

"Ready girls?" Andrew asked.

"Ready," all but Alex said. She just stared with fear. Andrew began to get the creatures attention while the other four girls flew into the air. They launched attack after attack but didn't do anything. The Erinyes were too quick. They dodged each attack.

"Alex help us," the five of them begged.

"I… I can't," she responded. "I am too afraid". She ran quickly into a building and hid herself.

"Fine," Kayla said. They all began to launch more and more, attack after attack but the Erinyes were still too quick. The fairies began to get tired so they attack. One Erinye grabbed hold of a fairy and flung them somewhere. Kristina and Lanie landed in a pile of crates, Sou and Kayla into a stable nearby and Andrew was flung into a building shattering it. The building was the one Maya was in.

When the Erinyes saw them they flew quickly at her and grabbed her. Flying off with her they laughed. Minerva saw this and flew quickly at Alex. "Alex," she said. "You have to stop them".

"I…I can't I'm too afraid".

"But Maya is in trouble".

"What? Ergh enough of this bull shit. I'm sitting here cowering while Maya is in trouble?" she got up ran out and flew after the Erinyes. Rapidly launching attacks they couldn't dodge them quick enough. She shot each one down and they turned to dust. Unfortunately the one carrying Maya was shot down and Alex had to quickly catch her. When she set Maya down on the ground something appeared on her chest. It was flower shaped pin.

"Alex," Minerva said. "You earned your Charmix".

"Really? Oh my god". The five other fairies ran to her side.

"Alex," they all said. "Are you okay?"

"I'm better than okay," she said. "I just earned my Charmix".

"What? Congrats". The five fairies took turns hugging.

"Now," Kayla said. "Let's go home before your sister-in-law finds out what happened here".

"Oh yes," they said. The six of them laughed and ran back to the portal that took them to the currently damaged city.
