Today, almost everyone is familiar with the holiday Halloween. Different countries, different names, but the same meaning. Children love it for the sweets and costumes. Parties and festivities take place around the world, even among adults, who dress in frightening costumes and sip from pumpkin cups. People decorate their homes and gardens, trying to create a spooky atmosphere, and share photos on Instagram. But few know what truly lies behind this holiday. It is not a common day, you never know if there is something won´t alive. Be careful during your trick and treat evening because not all sweet is alive, too. Story that may not have happened, but is not as cheerful as we would like. Here it is.

Once upon a time, in the ancient realm of darkness, two powerful daemons named Hades and Lilith roamed the world. Hades was the ruler of the underworld, while Lilith was known as the queen of the night. Though both daemons possessed great strength and feared by all, they lived in isolation, longing for companionship.

Hades, with his fiery red eyes and formidable presence, yearned for a day of celebration. He despised the monotony of his realm and desired a diversion from the constant suffering and despair that plagued the souls under his dominion. Similarly, Lilith, with her enchanting beauty and mysterious aura, craved activity during the long nights she spent alone.

One fateful night, as their paths crossed amidst the moonlit darkness, an idea was born. Hades and Lilith concocted a plan to create a night unlike any other—a night that would bridge the gap between the living and the dead, a night filled with excitement, mischief, and celebration. They decided to name this night "Halloween."

Hades, with his knowledge of the underworld, offered to lend his assistance in bringing back the spirits of the departed for this grand occasion. He called upon the souls and offered them respite from their eternal torment, granting them a chance to revisit the living realm. In return, he asked that they spread fear and terror, reminding the living of the brevity of life.

Pleased with Hades' contribution, Lilith decided to infuse her own powers into Halloween. With a flick of her finger, she unleashed a mesmerizing fog that blanketed the landscapes. The fog possessed the ability to distort reality and awaken the deepest fears and desires hidden within mortals. Those who dared venture out during Halloween would find themselves in a thrilling and unpredictable world.

The duo's creation of Halloween quickly spread across the realms. Its allure captured the attention of both the living and the dead. The living, eager for a reprieve from their mundane lives, embraced the opportunity to dress in costumes and explore their wild fantasies. They indulged in games, both playful and mischievous, as they roamed the streets, trick-or-treating and reveling in the enchantment of Halloween.

The spirits of the departed, allowed a brief moment of respite, delighted in their newfound ability to walk amongst the living. They relished the opportunity to connect with loved ones left behind, guiding them toward forgiveness, closure, and acceptance.

The first Halloween was a resounding success, deeply etching the holiday into the annals of time. Year after year, mortals and spirits alike eagerly anticipated the arrival of this magical night. Hades and Lilith were hailed as the creators of this extraordinary occasion, celebrated by both realms as they reveled in the joy and fright that Halloween brought.

As centuries passed, Halloween evolved, expanding to include traditions such as carving pumpkins, wearing costumes, and telling ghostly tales around bonfires.
