“I don’t know.” said Heracles, “Ares is great and Apollo is good too. I like to have a symbol of the sun. However, if I have something from Zeus king of gods and goddesses, it is greatest.”
“Yeah, Zeus is the best.” said Heracles.
Honestly, there had some people blessed by god Zeus. They got the symbols of eagle, bull, and even oak but no one of them was given the symbol of thunderbolt, the ultimate symbol of strength. No one dared to think about it and even in Hippocoon there had very few people owned the symbol.
“I think I like to have something which helps me heal.” said Amelinda, turned to them.
“It’s best for you.” said Gwen.
Henry who stood right in front of Amelinda walked ahead. Of course, his turn came. He was a medium high muscle boy who had short hard black hair.
“The symbol of two spears is on your right shoulder, arrow and bow on the left.” cried the owl of wisdom, “You was born to fight. Which family will you choose to join, Aresians with the god Ares who had given you a spear or Athenenas with two goddesses, one had given you a spear and the other gave you bow and arrow. It’s difficult to choose, even me.”
Henry kept silent in seconds then he decided to join with Athenenas.
“Good choice boy.” cried the owl of wisdom, “The next please.”
“Good luck for you.” said Heracles to Amelinda who walked ahead.
“Who are you girl?” cried the owl of wisdom,
“I am Amelinda.” she replied kept looking to it.
“I see it. You are a brave and smart girl. Yes, you are also kind.” cried the owl of the wisdom, “Have you ever thought about which family you belong to?”
“Yeah,” said Amelinda, “I have but who can help me to have ability to heal other.”
“Let me see a little.” said the owl of wisdom. It fluttered round Amelinda few times.
“A caduceus from Hermes, a red fire from Hestia and an owl from Athena” cried the owl of wisdom, “Waite a moment, it has something there, something is still inside you.”
“It can not see it. It needs more time to turn clearer. However, those things also made you become the most favored person girl.”
“Do you know the caduceus of Hermes can bind and give way to souls? People will not die if their souls still be bound with their body. And the red fire of Hestia, the fire of healing and also of destruction which do you choose to use it? You even were given the wisdom of goddess Athena. Which family will you choose Amelinda?” said the owl of wisdom.
“I think,” Amelinda hesitated a bit, “I will join with Zeusias.” said Amelinda. She made the way to the table of Zeusias, she strode passed Heracles and Gwen. “I wait for you both there in Zeusia family.” she said. “We will.” replied Heracles. A girl from another line stepped ahead. She was blessed by Hestia. As liked Amelinda, a symbol of a red fire in a circle appeared on the back of her right hand. It spread out a gentle red light. The girl hurriedly made her way to place of Herathyia family, found a place to sit white Heracles walked ahead to replace her standing front the fluttering owl.
“What’s your name boy?” asked the owl of wisdom.
“Heracles,” he replied.
“Are you related to the goddess Hera?” said the owl of wisdom.
“No, I guess no.” said Heracles shortly. Honestly, he Heracles preferred to be blessed by Zeus. His friend Amelinda told to wait him there in Zeusia family. Therefore, he didn’t want to have something relating to Hera. “Zeus please.” he muttered.
“So where do you from?” asked the owl of wisdom again.
“I come from Tiryns.” said Heracles.
“Tiryns.” the owl of wisdom fluttered up, stared at Heracles’s eyes, “the same place with the girl Amelinda. Yeah, many things here I can’t see inside you. I don’t what they are; admit it’s over my ability.” said the owl of wisdom. “However, you must the luckiest boy in this night.” The owl of wisdom fluttered fastly round Heracles’s face. “You are blessed by Zeus, the king of gods and goddesses, a symbol of thunderbolt, the first thunderbolt in last hundred years.” cried the owl of wisdom. It fluttered up and down to show its joy while the symbol of thunderbolt appeared on Heracles’s forehead spreading out violent silver light and made Heracles have to narrow his eyes. The light disappeared after that as like other symbol of others. Yells and screams from the table of Zeusia family and from the place Gwen standing still resounded. They called his name but Heracles still kept staying there, turned dull. He still didn’t believe in his ears it’s over his expectation.
“Why do you still here? Go and join with your family.” said the owl of wisdom waking up him. Heracles hurriedly left. On his way he met his brother Iphicles who gave him an unpleasant look. “Good luck!” Heracles said then strode off. He joined with Amelinda and others of Zeusia family. Amelinda quickly hugged and kissed him as he came there. People also made the ways to Heracles to hug him after that. They managed to give him a seat at the middle of the table. Heracles talked to them few words then turned away to see Iphicles.
“You said that you came from Tiryns?” said the owl of wisdom, glared at Iphicles.
“Yes, my father is king of place.” said Iphicles proudly.
“Zeus must have some travels to there.” said the owl of wisdom thoughtfully, “A symbol of bull from Zeus on your chest and a spear from Ares on your arm.” It cried, “Which family will you join, Zeusia or Aresian?”
Iphicles kept silent......
