Heracles's omen (Heracles and the Nemean lion)


“A girl died, two are missing. What are doing as the things happen?” a voice echoed to Heracles’s ears. It came from the person who had long smooth black hair, looked like professor Linus. He was walking around some people looking like red-armband members shouting at them something Heracles couldn’t hear. The image of them turned blurred then vanished. Heracles sank into darkness after that. Then a golden light suddenly spread out, Heracles frowned. A woman wearing in a white chiton and many of golden bracelets and necklace appeared in front of his face. She was in midair, seemed to lose her consciousness. “One comes from place not here, come and destroy every here. One half god blood, will appear and end it.” Then the light disappeared, Heracles was in darkness again. In the darkness a pair of bloodthirsty eyes suddenly appeared and then slowly moved toward Heracles. He tried to step backward but he couldn’t his body seemed not to obey him. Heracles scared sweat poured violently from his back and forehead. The bloodthirsty eyes came near to him then a head of a lion which was covered by long smooth golden fur appeared in front of Heracles. It glared at him for moments then roared loudly at him.
“Heracles, walk up!” the voice of Gwen.
“What’s wrong with you?” added Gwen, looking at Heracles’s white face. There still had some sweat drops on his forehead. Heracles didn’t answer him in minutes. He was still frightened by the last thing he saw in his dream. “The nightmare appeared again.” he said thoughtfully, “more clearly.”
“What it the nightmare?” asked Gwen.
“The nightmare I have told to you and Amelinda after we met the owl of wisdom.” said Heracles, “However, we need to come class first. I will tell you and Amelinda after class.”

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 owl of wisdom ...

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: The Nemea suit from a hidden-name person (part 4)

“Oh, you don’t need to worry.” said Heracles quickly, “You see. I’m still fine, right?” He grinned. Alcmene didn’t say. She looked at Heracles lovingly for a while. “I don’t prevent you to do what you like but I also don’t want you to risk your life in dangers.” she said. “I know it mom. I’m old enough to know which I can or can’t do.  I can take care of myself.” said Heracles at one. “I see it my son.” said Aclmene, smiling gently, “You have changed much after you came back from Hippocoon. I see you stronger and more mature. It makes me feel more reassured about you but you are still at age of a child.”; “Don’t do things over your age.” her voice turned serious. “No, I don’t and also won’t mom.” Heracles said. He tried to calm his mother down “I just stay there studying things professors taught me. There have many exciting things in the places. I really got many good experiences.” “I really like to hear you say that my son. I hope you will get more good experiences in th...
