Chapter 3: Where is All-For-You shop (part 3)

“We thought about All-For-You shop.” added Heracles, “Thought that we could find them there so we did go to the place but it’s not there at the moment, All-For-You shop. Of course, I will appear in few days before our next term but it’s too late for us to do anything at the time.” 
“I think about a person who can help us.” said Amelinda mysteriously.
“Who?” said Gwen quickly.
“One lives at Hippocoon land.” she added.
“Hippocoon land,” Gwen raised his voice. “You want to mean one professor. You’re sure that she or he will tell us where we can find magical stones. No, no, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Honestly, it’s the most stupid idea. She or he will never let us know.” groaned Gwen.
“Gwen’s right, Amelinda.” said Heracles in deep voice, “Instead of telling us, they will request us to tell them what we want to do with magical stones, forced us to never mention to them again or worse they will write a letter and then sent to our families. We will be watched whole the remaining of our vacation if we do it.” added Heracles. 
“No, I don’t mention to any of professors.” Amelinda hurriedly explained, “The person I think of is Roger. Roger will us if we ask him, just not telling him that we us them to go Treasure Island.” 
“Oh why do we not think of him.” said Heracles in high-pitched voice, looking at Gwen.
“Yes, I also don’t think of him.” added Gwen. “However,” Gwen suddenly interrupted the excitement, “How can we contact with him? The place we live now and Hippocoon land are two separate worlds. There has no normal way to send a letter from our place to Hippocoon land.” 
“I think they are not completely separate some people live in both the worlds and they know the ways to contact with others. I’m thinking of Dean. I’m sure he can help us to send a letter to Roger.” said Amelinda thoughtfully.
Both Heracles and Gwen agreed with Amelinda. Therefore, they decided to write a letter. It was written right in the night by Amelinda. Next morning, after the breakfast, Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda made their way to come to the town on Gwen’s carriage and reached to the town’s square before noon. When they came there, they hurriedly got out, made their way into one alley walking straight to Dean’s pub. Later, they all stood in the pub. Heracles broke into first passing the small double hanging on the sides.
“Hi Ryder!” they said to the man who sat by a desk placing along the entrance. He didn’t prevent to them not to go in the pub as like the first time they met. Instead of it, he spoke to them as like friends.
“Long time no see you guys. How are you recently.” he said friendly.
“We are fine. Thank you Ryder.” said Amelinda, turned to Ryder and smiled but still kept going to the end of the pub where a long table was. Dean was standing right after it. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda hurriedly approached the table, made their way to sit on high stools set there. 
“Hi guys—what on the world make you come to there?” said Dean at one as he saw them.
“We come to ask for your help.” said Amelinda quickly.
“My help—what do you need from me?” asked Dean, looking at Amelinda.
“We want to send a letter to Roger.” said Amelinda, “We have something to ask him but we can not contact to him. Therefore, we think of you, guess that you can help us. Can you?” 
“Certainly, I can do it. Where is your letter? Give it to me.” said Dean, still looking at her.
“Here it is.” said Amelinda, took out an envelope then gave to Dean.
Dean received it, flipped up and down to take a look. “It will take few days for it to come to Roger.” he said, watch on them.
“We can wait.” said Amelinda.
“I will send it out today. Roger will sooner get it.” said Dean. “Whatever, do you want to have something to drink?” he asked.
“No, we don’t. We’ll come back home now.” said Amelinda, turned to her friend, “Right, Heracles Gwen?” she added.
“Yeah – we have to leave now.” said Heracles at one.
“If you are busy, I don’t keep you staying. See you later.” said Dean gently. He smiled at them.
“Yeah–see you later.” said Amelinda. “And if Roger send us something, please let us know.” she added.
“I will.” said Dean.
Amelinda made his way to slide off her stool, landed on the ground. 
“See you later – See you later Dean.” Heracles and Gwen said. They got off from their stools, turned their ways leaving the place with Amelinda.
“See you.” said Dean after their back.
They hurriedly got out Dean’s pub, back to the alley to come to the town’s square. Their carriage appeared in the town’s square right after them. They all walked on it, closed the door. The carriage rolled they left. 
After Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda left the town, a person wearing in oversized hooded cloak by someway appeared in the alley they just walked out. As like a shadow, he glided away. After moments he appeared in front of Dean’s pub. The person pushed open the little double door broking in then walked straight to Dean’s long table. The person stood still there front of Dean looking at him. Dean saw him a little then bent down, rummaged sometime under his table. Later, he straight up, took some envelopes on hands. 
“As usual.” said Dean, handed the envelopes toward the person. “And this is the letter for Roger.” he added.
The person nodded, received the all of the envelopes then put them the bag on his hip then made his way out of the pub. The way he left like the way he came, quiet and hurried. After the person left the back, Dean turned back with his job.
Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda came back Heracles’s house after that. Gwen decided to stay in there waiting for Roger’s response. Therefore, he asked his coachman to go back his home and inform to his family about it. The next days, he, Heracles and Amelinda continued reading the diary trying to understand things in it. Honestly, he and Heracles could not keep by the diary as long as Amelinda. She seemed to stay by the book whole daytime reading carefully.

Chapter 3: The owl of wisdom (part 2)

“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.

Chapter 10: I am Heracles (part 3)

“The girl who came from outside.” said Elder D. “There is no such person here.” Squealed Aunt Calliope. “The girl you called Amanda.” said Elder shortly, still with his cold voice. “There must be some mistake here. She is not from the outside. She is my child.” Aunt Calliope squealed. “Dare you doubt Lord’s decision.” frieghtened Elder D, not heard her explained. The face of Aunt Calliope froze at one. “No, I don’t.” said Aunt Calliope weakly. “Take her to here. I don’t have much time.” ordered Elder D. “Give me a minute.” Aunt Calliope replied. She turned her way walked inside. She passed Heracles’s and Gwen’s room before reached to Amelinda’s and Lily’s. Her footsteps were clear in the still night and made Heracles wake up. Open the door, Aunt Calliope walked in. Amelinda and Lily were sleeping. Aunt Calliope managed to the bed’s edge. She sat down, gently touched on Amelinda. “Wake up Amanda.” she called, shaking her softly. Amelinda got up. She opened eyes looking at Aunt Calliope ...

The first time Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda met Ham, the scepter maker

Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda had come to the first floor. They was staying outsider a closed wooden door. It made them a little hesitant as they stood there. Then Heracles walked ahead, knocked on the door. “Come in.” a tired voice spread out. Heracles pulled the door. He, Gwen and Amelinda walked in. There was a rather dark room lit by some oil lamps spread out gentle blue light. The room was narrow, made of wooden and filled full by a lot of stuff and most of them were scepters. “What do you want?” said a man sitting on an elbow chair standing between scepters by the walkway along the room. He even didn’t look at Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda as they walked in. His head bent down, chin on his hand. He seemed to be sleeping. “We are new. We need to help.” squealed Amelinda, standing right after Heracles. The man raised his head, parted his curly black long hair aside his face showed out his sleepy eyes with big shadows below, his stubby short beard around his mouth and jaw....
