When Heracles and other met the dragon Grogon and Aiden, the guilder


“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?”

Prologue: The Throne Hall of Shadows

A vast, echoing hall stretched endlessly around him. Twelve colossal thrones lined its curved perimeter, each carved from celestial stone and pulsing faintly with power. Seated upon them were twelve figures cloaked in divine light, their faces shrouded in shadow, their eyes unseen. But Heracles felt them watching him. In the center, towering above all others, stood the grandest throne of all. Crafted of gold-veined marble and adorned with radiant gems, it pulsed with a warm, awe-inspiring light. Upon this throne sat a figure draped in majestic robes, a crown of light above his brow. Though his face remained obscured, his presence demanded reverence. When he spoke, the hall trembled. "Heracles, my son." The voice rang like thunder across the mountains, like wind echoing through time. Heracles stood frozen, unable to speak. "Darkness stirs. The world you know will soon fall into chaos. The ancient balance teeters, and a great war is coming—one that shall shake the heavens ...
