It was the final week of the first semester. The girls were in Sou's, Kayla's and Alex's room celebrating. Andrew had just received his Charmix and they wanted him to celebrate with them but he was in the living room on a computer. They finally got up and went to him.

"Andrew!" Kayla said. "Get off that thing and get in here. I hate computers and I wish you would come in here".

He looked up at her. "I need to finish this for Palladium," he said. "It is the last thing I need to make up. I only have a few paragraphs left and then I will be finished. I will be in there in a couple minutes. Is that okay?"

"Come on," Ariana said. "Can't you finish that later?"

He glared at her. "No," he said. "I need to turn this in tomorrow". He quickly typed a few keys in. "Y'all are going to stand there until I'm done, aren't you".

"Nope," Alison said. "I'm going to float here till you are done".

"Same difference".

"Alright," Pandora said. She motioned them back into the room. "Let's get back in the room. My fairy needs to work so why don't you all go back into the other room".

"Fine," Alex sighed. "Dear I want you in the room in thirty minutes".

"Don't worry it will probably be three," he said as he typed in even more keys.

"Are you that close?" Estella asked being the last one in the room.

"No, I'm just that quick. Now go the more I talk with you the longer it will take".

Estella left the room and in it the girls were in a circle talking. "Estella there you are," Kayla said. "Come, I wanted to ask you the game's question".

"What game?" she asked confused. "What are you all playing?"

"Truth or dare?" Kayla asked.

"Oh great," Estella said. "I guess truth".

"Do you prefer to work in group or by yourself?"

She looked at her. "By myself," Estella said.

"Told you," Kayla said to Lanie.

"Your turn now," Andrew said.

The girls looked up and said "Wow that was quick".

He shrugged. "Wait," Kayla said. "How long have you been standing there?"

Andrew looked at his watch. "Just arrived," he said.

"Then join us,'' Kristina said. "Now Estella, it is your turn".

"Hm," she pondered. "Andrew, truth or dare?"

"Truth," he said.

"What are you hiding from us?"

He held up his right arm. "I knew you were going to ask a question like that eventually so I figured this is a good thing to explain".

"What are you hiding?" Kayla asked. "That is just a normal hand". She was right. To the six pixies and five fairies it looked like a normal hand so he snapped his fingers and gold dust began to sparkle from it. Its pale skin was replaced with black, metallic glove material. His hand and about half his lower right arm was like some sort of metal glove.

"Is that?" Kristina began to ask.

"Artificial arm," Alex said emotionless. She crossed her arms. "He has had that for almost a week now and you just now realize that?" The girls and pixies nodded.

"That is because I hid it from y'all. I don't like to I just… don't want you all to worry". He began to put a leather glove over the arm.

Lanie was about to ask something when there was a knock at the door. The girls got up and answered it. Faragonda was in the doorway. "You," she said pointing to Andrew. "Did you send a Codex to Cloud Tower?"

He responded by slamming the door and walking to the wall across the room. He leaned his head onto it, pounded his hand on the wall began crying. "Andrew," the girls said. "Why'd did you do that?" He mumbled something.

Ariana closed her eyes and shook her head. "Oh boy, not this again," she said. She struggled to open the door so Lanie opened it for her.

"Please come in," the water fairy said.

"Gladly," Faragonda said. She walked in and sat on a chair.

"He got it," Andrew said sobbing with tears falling onto the floor. "Didn't he?"

"Unfortunately," the headmistress said.

"Wait," Sou said. "So he got a piece?"

"Yes," Andrew said. "He took Reegen's piece. He is one step closer to being able to basically be the ultimate being".

"Oh my," Pandora said. "And that is why he is so upset".

"Is he always blaming himself for everything bad?" Alison questioned. Pandora glared at the friendship fairy. "What?"

"Nothing," Pandora growled. "Lousy friendship fairy; I have never liked her. We are complete opposites".

"I can hear you crystal clear". Alison began to get angry.

"I wanted you too".

"Both of you quit it," Minerva ordered. "What I don't understand is why Andrew is acting this way. Darkar only has one piece".

"Min is right," Diana said. "We have three more chances to stop him".

"If we knew where the other Codex pieces were," Sou said. "It would be much easier we could wait until he strikes in those places, use our Charmix powers and stop him".

Andrew sobbed more and shook his head. Faragonda shook her head as well. "You would be incorrect," they said.

"What?" all six pixies and all five fairies asked together.

Andrew wiped his tears and turned around. He leaned on the wall. "He has two pieces. Reegen's piece was his second piece".

"What was his first?" Estella asked.

Faragonda took a deep breath. "His first piece was Red Fountain's piece," she said.

"When did this happen?" Kayla asked. "We would have known".

"Do you remember when those harpies nearly destroyed me?" he asked. "They nearly killed my wings and me with them".

"Of course," they all said. "Why wouldn't we? That day was hell".

"I don't know why you would forget but did y'all see that thing one of the harpies was carrying?"

"That oval thing?" Sou asked. The mayhem fairy nodded. "What about it". Andrew just glared at her.

"What do you think?" he asked.

She thought for a moment then it finally came to her. "That was the Codex?" she asked surprised.

"No, it was just an oval shaped stone with writing on the side," Pandora said sarcastically but rudely as well.

"Pan," Diana said angrily. "Quit being mean".

"Make me," she responded angrily. "I'm the Pixie of War. I'm naturally mean and angry".

Diana lunged herself at Pandora. Pandora quickly changed her current outfit which was a black dress that went to her knees and a dark purple tiara in her hair to her normal armor. When she was changed and Diana was in grabbing distance Pandora grabbed Diana by one of her arms, spun around and flung her against the wall.

Andrew screamed, clenched his heart and fell to his knees. "Girls please don't fight," he begged.

"I'm going to leave before this gets messy," Faragonda said. She headed out the door but before she turned she looked at the fairy getting hurt watching his bonded pixie and Diana fight.

"I almost forgot. I took the opportunity to deliver this to you," she said. The headmistress pulled an envelope out and threw it at him. It flew through the air and landed in front of him. He didn't pick it up until Sou grabbed Diana and Minerva pulled Pandora away from the animal pixie. By then he was gasping for air and his skin was blue.

When he could breathe fine again he sat back and began to read the letter that was in the envelope. On it was a note and a map from Melina. "What does it say?" Lanie asked.

"Nothing important," he responded.

"Come on," Estella said. "Tell us".

"It is just something from Melina," he said folding it up and sticking it in his bedside desk drawer. "She just wants to meet me tomorrow after school for something".

"Are you going to go?" Kayla asked. "I mean you hate her and she hates you".

"What do you think?" he asked.

"So what do you all want to do tomorrow after school? It is the last day of the semester after all".

"Y'all want to go to Earth and meet my parents?" Alex asked. "Oh wait scratch that. They would put a bullet to Andrew's head".

"Oh I'm busy with Melina so just go ahead".

"You are really going?" Minerva asked still trying to hold Pandora back.

"If she is going to help me figure out my past and who I am I will work with her. Besides she has kind of proven to me that she has changed".

"Okay".

"Well," Kristina said. "I'm going to hit the hay". She yawned and stretched her arms. "Night". She and Alison headed into their room.

"We should all hit the hay," Sou said. "Tomorrow is the last day of finals and we need as much sleep as we can get so we can be fully rested". Everyone agreed, said their good nights and went to bed.

The next morning they a quickly got up with their alarms and went to eat breakfast which was sausage biscuits. Kristina refused to eat the sausage and just gave it to Alison. Afterwards they went to their classes and finally when the day ended they headed to their dorms. Andrew looked at his map and letter and began heading the way the map told him. When he got to the area it was a dead end.

He was supposed to have a door to his right but all there was there was a blank wall. He looked at the map and thought to himself "Am I lost? No I can't be. I followed the arrows on the map exactly". He looked at the map and then at the wall. "Where am I anyways? Am I in an area that I'm not supposed to be located?"

He looked to his right then his left. There he noticed a mirror. It reflected him but behind him was a door. He said to himself "Oh, this is a mind game. Ok, I guess I will play along". He looked at the wall and felt it till he found a door knob. He twisted it and noticed a huge room full of books that Andrew read as a child. A pixie was there. She looked like Faragonda except smaller.

"Greetings," it said.

"Uh hello I guess," Andrew came back with. "Who are you? Where am I? Why do you have these books with you?"

"I am Lucretia the Pixie of Literature. I collect books and when a row gets full a new one grows. This room is alive like Cloud Tower?"

"So that answered all but where am I?"

"You are in the Hall of Κώδικα".

"Oh okay. So mind if I look at a few of these?"

"Not at all, just don't touch these," Lucretia said pointing to one half of the room.

"Thanks," he said. Andrew walked over and began looking at the books. A voice appeared as he began to feel a strong presence.

"You aren't thinking of finding it are you?" it asked.

"No," he responded a bit annoyed. "I already know where it is anyways". He picked up a book. It had a picture of a face that was so familiar. The image sent him back to the nightmare of him getting the exact same face carved into the back of his neck.

"Not him," he whispered. Looking at the book made his head hurt. He dropped the book and fell to his knees gripping his head. He all of the sudden began to feel negative energy flow through him. He tried to resist it but it really seemed to want control.

"Give me control," a new voice in his head said.

"Never; I will never let you control my body".

"You mean our body," it said. "You, your guardian and I share it so now I belie I should have control for now".

"No, I won't let you," Andrew said. He looked at Lucretia who seemed so confused.

"Help me," he begged. He tried to say it again but everything went black. When he awoke he was in a room.
