“It’s Grogon, a
ground dragon.” a humpback man who brought an old lamp on his bony hand from
somewhere approached Heracles, “It’s juvenile. If it is mature, it can round
the world few rounds. However, some rules make creatures like it not to be
allowed to appeared front of people. They have to live in Underworld. Some of
them accept to be carriers to get out from the Underworld.”
“Whatever, my name
is Aiden. I will be the person who brings you to Hippocoon. Guess you all have
met the Shadow-shifter. He was a child liking to play with everybody. You must
get much fear before you come to here.” added the humpback man.
“Yes, we did.” said
Heracles.
Then clanks spread
out. Millions of pair feet appeared under Grogon which looked more like a huge
millipede than a dragon. Grogon took a long yawn. Its head started moving back.
“Welcome! Welcome
first year.” Grogon said loudly, “new faces, very young and having much
potential. I am Grogon who will bring you to Hippocoon. Very nice to meet you all.”
“And he is Aiden,
the guider.” Grogon’s head stopped facing to Aiden. It stared at Heracles by
giant eyes then moved to Gwen and Amelinda.
“Little friends, do
you see doors on my body. Yes, they are doors if you don’t know. Please walk
in. There are compartments after them. Make their way to have seats there in
time. You have no other options because we will not come back till the next
year.”
“It’s time to go.” roared
Grogon.
The doors on
Grogon’s body suddenly slid open. Aiden hurriedly clung on the door nearest on
Grogon’s head. “See you all at Hippocoon.” said Aiden. He went in, slid close
the door. Grogon moved ahead back to the place it had laid before.
“Hurry up!” said
Grogon loudly.
It took Heracles and
others minutes hesitating. They kept staying there at right their places a
while. Later, some of them started moving. They made their way to the doors and
then walked in. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda also went. They made the way to the
nearest door facing to them. Heracles went first. There was nice compartment with
seats were set on either side. A small way was between of them for people to go.
Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda made their ways to have seats at the right beside
the door.
“So we go.” the
voice of Grogon spread out. The clanks spread out one more time, turned noisier
than ever. Grogon’s feet started moving ahead, got faster and faster. Heracles
could see lamps hanging on the tunnel wall ran backward through the opposite
door. Then the clanks vanished. They spread up. It made Heracles couldn’t see
clearly anything outside. He turned in.
“It’s also your
first time?” he talked to Gwen.
“Honestly, it is.” replied
Gwen, “Many things you are not allowed to know or see if you are unqualified.”
“They are really awesome.”
said Amelinda, “I nearly lost my soul at the first time I saw them. Honestly, I
had read about them a little in history of gods and goddesses. There had
something about them at chapter Hade and creatures in Underworld. They all live
in Underworld. Grogon honestly is a scary creature. It is considered fastest
and longest creature. Its body is extremely tough. Furthermore, it owns deadly
venom which even can kill half god blood human.”
“Really, I have
never heard about it before.” said Gwen, “Do you know something about
Shadow-shifter?”
