When Heracles tried to get the acceptance of his scepter

Ham gave Heracles and heavy scepter which had a hard black red handle with a crystal ball containing a drop of red blood looking like lava. The blood spread out red light.
“I had to use ironwood to make it handle. Only it can stand the power of dragon. Try it Heracles. Let us see you deserve it.” added Ham.
Heracles nodded then closed his eyes, focused to connect with the scepter. The crystal ball lit up a moment but it didn’t turn off.
“Try again Heracles. You nearly do it.” said Ham.
Suddenly, the red dragon blood drop turned dark red. The light it spread out also turned dark. The scepter inside Heracles’s hand trembled struggling to escape.
“Focus Heracles.” roared Ham.
Heracles stood still. Sweats appeared on his forehead. He was very focused. Minutes later, the handle turned calm in Heracles’s hand. The blood drop turned red again. It lit brilliantly for minutes. In the time, another scepter in there also lit up, spread out dark. However, when Heracles’s scepter turned off, it also turned off. Therefore, no one there but Ham discovered it.
Everyone exhaled. Amelinda rushed to Heracles, hugged him as soon as everything finished.
“Hahaha,” laughed Amelinda, “I know you can do it.”
“Yeah,” said Heracles tiredly.
“Congratulate Heracles! I think you just got a powerful scepter.” said Gwen quickly approached them.
“The scepter has been here for long time Heracles. I’m very happy. At last, it also has its owner.” spoke Ham joyfully.
“Thank you.” said Heracles. He smiled.
“It’s not me.” said Ham, “You must hear it from Chun. Something is made for only someone. I was created for you, you and you.

Lily — The Lost Heart

A Character Portrait from Heracles and the Echoes of the Hydra Lily is one of the most quietly powerful characters in Heracles and the Echoes of the Hydra . Though she appears primarily in the later stages of the story, her presence reshapes the meaning of the entire conflict. She is not a traditional warrior, nor a conventional magical prodigy. Instead, Lily embodies the emotional truth at the core of the narrative—the part of the world that violence alone cannot reach. Her story is inseparable from the Hydra, not as its mirror, but as its missing balance. Identity and Family Lily is the adopted daughter of Calliope , the White Witch of the Grove. Calliope rescues and raises her in seclusion, offering protection, love, and a sense of belonging in a world that would not understand her. Their relationship is defined not by blood, but by choice. Calliope is Lily’s mother because she chooses to be—again and again—placing Lily’s safety above her own life. Unbeknownst to Lily for most of ...
