The pixie fluttered through the air nervous as she prepared herself to deliver the news to Afa. Honestly though, she really didn’t want to. She read the report that was bigger than herself as she flew. All it did was leave a massive knot in her stomach.
That Bryson kid did it again. Avoided a village plague. She thought as she moved through the various marble halls. But Afa won’t be happy.
An ancient extinct plague coming out of nowhere suddenly appearing in a very sparsely populated area that just so happens to have very few magically in tuned people. It wasn’t very hard for the pixie to figure out the correlation Afa had with it.
Still have no idea why though. She thought. What good would come from killing a bunch of villagers? She read the paper again. She wished that the report was a bit more descriptive, maybe then she would be able to glean some information from this.
The only useful detail in the paper was the fact that Bryson apparently worked with some girl who was also visiting the village for some reason. Did she have anything to do with Afa’s plan?
Before the pixie could ponder any further she nearly collided with someone.
“Woah!” She shouted as she veered away from the person in front of her.

“Careful there.” They said with a scratchy voice.
The pixie looked at the person she nearly collided with in shock. It was Hallow, standing right before Afa’s door staring at her with glowing white eyes.
“Y-you’re still here.” She said staring at him.
“I am. I decided to tour around the place.” Hallow said with a kind smile, “You seemed to be in a hurry, something wrong?”
“I’m just reporting something to Great Goddesss Afa.” The pixie said trying fly over him.
“Hand me the message, I’ll report it to her.” Hallow said extending out a hand.
“But I’m supposed to be the one to hand in the report.” The pixie said nervously staring at Hallow’s palm.
“Don’t worry about it. She’s busy right now.” Hallow said giving her s smile that sent a shiver down her spine, “You wouldn’t want to be an annoyance now would you?”
The pixie didn’t feel like he was referring to Afa for that last part as she stared at his glowing eyes. Hesitantly, the pixie gently placed the paper in Hallow’s palm.
“You can leave now.” Hallow said dismissively.
The pixie wanted to take those papers back, but something told her that she needed to go. Uneasily she flied away glancing back several times at Hallow who was reading the report.
As the pixie moved out of earshot Hallow gave a loud laugh once he finished reading.
“You got yourself a little lady friend. Wasn’t expecting that.” Hallow said amused at the thought, “That idiot really doesn’t know what she’s doing. All those creatures and he still got away with it? ‘The Goddess of Heroes Afa.’ Hah! How did she ever steal that title?” He scoffed.
Hallow stopped and pondered for a moment, “Hmm, keep on struggling Bryson, let me see how you deal with this next problem.” He said as he wrapped his fingers around the paper, and it vanished. He then thought of the little pixie.
“Oh, that would work. Let’s see how you and your family deal with that.” He said with a nasty grin on his face.
