Heracles and the Nemean lion book

Inspired by Heracles, a divine hero in Greek mythology who had performed 12 great labors, this book told about a boy named Heracles. He also was born in Tiryns and the son of Alcmene and the king of god Zeus. However, Heracles didnt know about it, always believing that his father was king Amphitryon, his mother's husband. Therefore, he always wondered why his father always liked his his twin brother Iphicles more than him; Amphitryon treated Iphicles gently while he always treated him coldly.
Heracles and his mother kept living with Iphicles and Amphitryon in Amphitryon's castle till he went to age of seven. Because of some reason he didn't know, he mother brought him to leave the castle and then lived in a nice building far away the castle after that. Accompanying with the were the Old-Gardener, Lena, July and her daughter, Amelinda. Amelinda was the same age as Heracles and was one of two best friends of Heracles and the other was Gwen, son of a lord in his country. 
Heracles and the others had normals live until he reached on age of thirteen and received a letter from the a place called Hippocoon land. That was the first time he knew about the existence of another world, the magic world and he was one of the people who were chosen to come to the place to study.
Fortunately, his two best friends also like him received the letter. They came to Hippocoon land together, started studying, controlling their power and learning about the magic world together.

Chapter 3: The owl of wisdom (part 2)

“A proud boy.” said the owl of wisdom, “Let me see you.” It flew slowly around Hank, “Your god Ares seem to favor you. A vulture symbol under was your ear and a spear symbol was on your arm. You are wise boy who know to come after fight and get the spoils. However, you are also great in combat if you need to do it. You are a good boy will sever your god well in future.” said the owl of wisdom. “Please go to the table closest to your left. It’s the place for Aresians.” Hank made his way to his family where many people had stayed there. “Bravo!”, “Great boy!” said others there. They shook Hank’s hand, greeted with high five. The place turned crowded in minutes and made Heracles not happy much.  Next after Hank was Morela who was also sat on the same boat with Heracles. Morela came from Delphi the city was protected by god Apollo, the sun god. Of course, she was blessed by her god, a symbol of the sun appeared brilliantly at the middle of her head in golden light.

The first time Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda met Ham, the scepter maker

Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda had come to the first floor. They was staying outsider a closed wooden door. It made them a little hesitant as they stood there. Then Heracles walked ahead, knocked on the door. “Come in.” a tired voice spread out. Heracles pulled the door. He, Gwen and Amelinda walked in. There was a rather dark room lit by some oil lamps spread out gentle blue light. The room was narrow, made of wooden and filled full by a lot of stuff and most of them were scepters. “What do you want?” said a man sitting on an elbow chair standing between scepters by the walkway along the room. He even didn’t look at Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda as they walked in. His head bent down, chin on his hand. He seemed to be sleeping. “We are new. We need to help.” squealed Amelinda, standing right after Heracles. The man raised his head, parted his curly black long hair aside his face showed out his sleepy eyes with big shadows below, his stubby short beard around his mouth and jaw....

Chapter 1: Roger left Hippocoon (next 2)

 “Of course, I have to grow up and get stronger.” yelled Dai. He puffed out his chest proudly. Heracles and Gwen almost burst in laugh but they could stop it.   “I feel good to hear you say that. I was afraid that you could not get used to living here.” said Amelinda ahead. “Don’t worry. I’m okay, just can’t appear in front of strangers.” said Lily. “I think it’s good for you and including others this moment.” Heracles spoke up. “Of course, I know it.” said Lily at one, “Honestly, I also don’t like to meet strangers.” She smiled. There had a simple wooden table with some chair inside the nursery. They were set under the foliage of an old tree. “Sit down.” said Lily. “So what bring you to here?” she added, looked over them. Heracles, Gwen and Lily took chairs and sat down. Dai promptly left Gwen’s hand, leapt on the table and hurriedly went to his seat. There had a set of table and chair small and lovely on that table. He stayed neatly on there. Some white bright spots gli...
