[i]Alyssa turned at Charlie's voice, eyes widening in happiness; finally, a familiar face! She approached him, a bounce in her step.[/i] "Well, it's cause it's so exciting! I was just at Graveyard Island—actually, easier if I read this aloud...." [i]Alyssa reached behind her back into a drawstring bag, pulling out a massive tome. It was old, yellowed and worn, tears in the pages, and titled "Magics Most Malicious, Volume 16". Alyssa flipped through to the middle, page 1266, smiling at Charlie as she quoted:[/i] "The day All Hallow's Eve Falls on the sixth day of the week A great evil shall arise And only the strong shall claim their prize. From the ground, the fallen shall wake Their corpses neither weak nor fake To execute the Witch's will, They shall climb from Goldner's Hill. The seas shall turn red All the wildlife has fled And after all Seven have finally bled The sun shall rise again." [i]After finishing, Alyssa shivered, grinning at Charlie.[/i] "It's Saturday, October 31st, or Halloween, also called All Hallow's Eve. The fallen have awaken; I saw zombies! They didn't fall after being struck, meaning they're not weak.... Dunno 'bout the rest, though. This is like, hundreds of years old, Charlie!"

[i]Charlie couldn't help smiling and getting excited by simply seeing the exstatic Alyssa.[/i] "That sounds great! Sign me up, Miss Alyssa. I feel like this could be a great experience."

"Alright, great! There'll need to be multiple teams—I've been researching for this all my life—I'll notify you as to which team you'll be placed!"
