The first time Heracles, Gwen and Amlinda met the shadow - shifter

They kept running toward the statue of goddess Athena.
“What are you doing?” cried Amelinda, struggling to escape from Gwen’s hand, “We will hit on it.”
“It’s okay Amelinda.” Gwen calmed her, “A door is there.”
“Ahhh!” cried Amelinda, closed her eyes.
“You can open your eyes now.” said Heracles.
“Where are we?” squealed Amelinda.
“I don’t know.” said Heracles.
It’s a long roof which was supported by marble columns above their heads. Some children were also staying there under the roof. They gathered into groups stood at other places in the roof talking.
“So what do we do now?” asked Amelinda.
“Wait.” answered Gwen, “The carrier will come and bring us go.”
“Who is the carrier?” said Heracles.
“I don’t know. Others told me that.” said Gwen.
“What’s that?” said Heracles. He pointed at a round shadow which was on ground toward others.
“Look! Are they its eyes?” cried Amelinda, hinted to a pair of white narrow shapes.
“And it’s its mouth.” said Heracles, “What’s it doing? Why does it approach to others?”
The black silently moved under a group of people. The people suddenly fell down as though they fell into a pit. They cried loudly and threatened people around. Others scattered, cried and ran away from the place but the black shadow didn’t leave them alone. It chased after them.
“Ahhh.” cried a chubby boy. He was caught by the shadow. His lower half body had fallen. His half upper half body was still upon the ground. Tears poured from his eyes wetted all his face. “Please helped me.” he cried handed ahead. However, no one dared to come near and helped him. His body was slowly swallowed then vanished. Everybody turned much nosy they cried ran, scattered then gathered. The place turned chaotic at the time.
“What are we do now?” said Amelinda anxiously.
“I don’t know.” replied Heracles still staring at the black shadow.
“Stay away from it as far as possible.” said Gwen.
“Runnn…” cried Heracles, pulled Gwen and Amelinda with him. The black shadow started to pay attention on them. It chased after them.
“Heracles, help me” cried Amelinda. She was left behind them. Heracles turned back and she her lower half body had been fallen down and the black shadow was under her. Heracles hurriedly ran back. He held her hand tried to pull her up. Gwen also ran back right after that, held the other hand of Amelinda and pulled. Suddenly, the black shadow trembled and then enlarged. Heracles and Gwen fell down at one. Heracles was separated from his friends. He seemed to be fallen into a dark spiral pipe and slipped fastly inside it. It made him feel dizzy. Minutes later, Heracles saw light at the end of the pipe. He slipped out and rolled few rounds with his baggage before he could get on ground. Amelinda and Gwen were after him. They slipped out from other pipes appearing on the wall which changed into round black shadows, shrank then vanished.
“Are you okay?” Heracles hurriedly went to Amelinda, helped her stand up.
“I’m fine.” she said, “Where are we now?”
“I don’t know. It may be a secret tunnel.” said Heracles.
“Everyone all are brought to here.” said Gwen. He had gotten on his feet, joined with Heracles and Amelinda.

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...
