Hippocoon land

“What are you doing here Heracles?” a cold voice spread out behind them as they were striding pass a lobby. They turned back and saw Professor Linus. He hurriedly caught up to them. “Professor.” said Heracles and Gwen. “What are you doing here Heracles?” said Profesor Linus, looked at Heracles “We are just wandering professor.” said Gwen. “I don’t ask you Gwen.” Linus raised his voice, turned to Gwen then turned back Heracles. “We just go around professor.” said Heracles. “Heracles and including you Gwen I have remind you that not all of places in this castle you are allowed to come. You both nearly step on one of them.” said Linus, “If you want to come to your classroom, turn back keep going down. Or if you want to get back your family dorm, turn back find the way to turn left then keep going down. Remember I don’t have much time to look after you. If I see you here one more time, I will take five points from each of you.”  Linus strode off leaving Heracles and Gwen there. “Do you se

Heracles, his friends and first year ones followed the older left their building, headed to Castle Methonia. They were led to their classroom by their seniors. Hurriedly they found the way to have seats there. Heracles and Gwen sat next to the others while Amelinda sat at the table in front of them. They all quickly made friends with people around them and chatted with them in the time they waited for their lyre professor. The classroom got pretty noisy. They all feel comfortable talking to each other. Then suddenly the class room pushed open. The noise ceased. All people looked out the door. A man in black appeared. He strode in. It was a tall thin man who had long black hair and an angular face. Heracles realized him because he had seen him in the first day in the castle hall and he was one of families’ leaders. He kept standing at the desk in seconds looked over whole the class by his deep black eyes. They noise turned less noisy then turned quiet.  “First year Zeusias.” he said,

Heracles left his bed, changed in his class uniform. He and Gwen hurried went to their family library to find Amelinda. Heracles told them about his nightmare and asked them about its meaning but they both couldn’t explain it. At last, they decided to ignore it. Heracles and Gwen stay still there a little then they left, Amelinda still kept staying there reading something. She wanted to know more about Hippocoon by the way reading books there. Their dorm turned deserted at the moment; almost of people were busy with their classes or walked out for something. Heracles and Gwen went in the family room, they meet some people there and said hello to them. One of them was Leonard their family president. Leonard kept them there minutes, introduced them to others and let them know about Zeusia family traditions. He enthusiastically led them to the long board hanging there, in which all rules they had to obey as they stayed in Hippocoon. Another board also was hung there in family room on wh

“All people are full.” said Finn loudly from the stair. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda stopped their conversation, looked at him who was standing right at the place he used to stand before, “It’s time for sleep. Please follow your leaders.” he added, always with very few words. Finn and some of his fellows who Heracles thought that they were also the professors made the way left. There had only four of them still stood. They are two women and two men; one of the women was Professor Genevieve who had introduced that she was leader of Athenena family. They four kept staying there talking while mermaids appeared and brought all things away. Later, some people appeared, went to them then they scattered heading to the four tables. The person who walked toward Zeusia family’s table was a young tall man with black hair stroked backwards; he wore in black wide shoulder-cloak with fur on the collar. Honestly, he looked very handsome, strong and a little proud, going with him a black short hair b

“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 fast 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 he

“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 told

The while owl statue gradually turned into gold, it spread out golden light and lit up whole the hall by the divine light. The golden owl blinked then opened its eyes. “How long is it from the last time I appeared?” said the owl it soared up, “It must be entire a year. Yes, it has always been. I always wake up after a year to do my duty. I can see new faces here, very young, strong, brave and even proud. It’s a very long time ago when the battle of the gods had ended. Zeus had ascended to the throne, divided the world into three, one for him to rule Olympus, another for one of bother Poseidon to rule ocean and the other for other bother Hades to rule the Underworld. The world was ruled by them in peace and peace for long times. Till, an argument came out between them the twelve gods and goddesses on Olympus. Who is the most revered god or goddess? The argument seemed not to have the end till goddess Athena gave them an idea. She advised others to choose people who live in ground, ga
