Chapter 4: What Dean’s pub really is (part 6)

“Alright! They are all magical stones for a shifting-circle.” said Amelinda, “What we need are putting them in right places and in order.”
“Bring them to our shifting-circle with me.” Amelinda said. She hugged some of magical stone, stood up, moved toward their shifting-circle. Heracles and Gwen took the remaining magical stones following her. 
“Heracles the biggest magical stone is in your arms, right? I need you to put it at the center of our shifting – circle.” said Amelinda.
“Yes, it is here. Where should I put it?” asked Heracles.
“At the center where lines intersect there I created a hole, put in it.” said Amelinda.
“Okay, I do it right now.” said Heracles. He hurriedly moved toward the circle’s center and then put the biggest magical stone in the hole then turned back.
“What do we do next?” he asked.
“Put the others into other holes.” said Amelinda, “Do you see other holes here? We will put other magical stones in them.”
“Golden, green, blue, red, brown and black,” spoke Amelinda, looked back the shifting-circles book, “that’s the order we place them. It must start” she stopped, bringing the diary on hand moving around the circle. Kept the book on hand, she walked forward and backward few times. She sometime raised her head to see the sun then continued walking. On other hand, Heracles and Gwen didn’t move they kept silent observing her. At last, Amelinda stopped. “From here.” he said, “We will start from here and in a clockwise direction.”
“You’re sure that you’re from here.” said Gwen hesitantly.
“Yes, I’m sure. The main East is here.” said Amelinda certainly. 
“Okay, we will follow you.” said Heracles, “You said Golden, green, blue and what?” he stopped turned to Amelinda.
“Golden, green, blue, red, brown and at last, black.” Amelinda answered.
“Yeah, it’s.” said Heracles, “I and Gwen will do it.” He turned to Gwen “Gwen.” he said.
“Okay, I’m here.” said Gwen quickly.
They brought the magical stones, quickly placed then into holes golden, green, blue, red, brown and then black. After all the magical stones were put in their right places, Heracles and Gwen found the way walking back to Amelinda. 
“It is completed.” said Amelinda. She, Heracles and Gwen were standing together observing their accomplishment proudly.
“Should we hide it? If we don’t, I think somebody could see.” said Gwen.
“We must.” said Amelinda, “I don’t want to explain to anyone about it. I will hide it under grasses.”
Then Amelinda grabbed her scepter, pointed at ground. “Megalono.” she said.
The grasses next to the shifting-circle grow up strongly and then slowly covered upon it. The shifting-circle completely was hid under grasses. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda stood there a while looking around to ensure that their shifting-circle was hid. 
“We go.” said Amelinda. Three of them left. The long shadow moved together with them. It’s late afternoon that moment. Hurriedly, the sun went down. Light was replaced by darkness.
***
It’s very quiet at midnight. All most people had fallen in sleep and candles had been blown off but somewhere inside the building still spread out light. It’s Amelinda’s bedroom. The room was not large but looked comfortable and cozy. Amelinda’s awake. She was sitting at the table by the window writing something. The light from the candle standing at the middle of the table bounced on her face made her look cuter. Then she stopped, took the eyes out from the paper then looked out through the window. It’s pure black covering upon all the things outside. Amelinda turned back, blew off her candle then made her way to the bed. She slept.

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. The owl of wisdom ...

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....

Chapter 1: The Nemea suit from a hidden-name person (part 4)

“Oh, you don’t need to worry.” said Heracles quickly, “You see. I’m still fine, right?” He grinned. Alcmene didn’t say. She looked at Heracles lovingly for a while. “I don’t prevent you to do what you like but I also don’t want you to risk your life in dangers.” she said. “I know it mom. I’m old enough to know which I can or can’t do.  I can take care of myself.” said Heracles at one. “I see it my son.” said Aclmene, smiling gently, “You have changed much after you came back from Hippocoon. I see you stronger and more mature. It makes me feel more reassured about you but you are still at age of a child.”; “Don’t do things over your age.” her voice turned serious. “No, I don’t and also won’t mom.” Heracles said. He tried to calm his mother down “I just stay there studying things professors taught me. There have many exciting things in the places. I really got many good experiences.” “I really like to hear you say that my son. I hope you will get more good experiences in th...
