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 11: The gate (part 9)

A loud bag spread out above their heads. Two hooded cloak men lied quietly on ground. Roger walked to the gallery. “Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda, you all are here. It is hard to find you” he called up. He hurriedly made the way step down the stairs. Though his body was big and stout, he moved very fast coming to them and froze as he saw a dead on ground. “Who are they?” he asked softly, looking on Amelinda. “This is Lily and - Aunt Calliope.” Amelinda said hesitantly; “She is Lily’s mother. She saved all of us.” she added sadly.  Between curly hair and bushy beard which almost covered his face were warm eyes. She warmly looked on Lily who was sitting on ground holding her mother’s hand. He decided to keep silent, turned to Heracles, Gwen, Amelinda then turned to the dead Hydra dragon which was not far away from them.  “I dont know how you could kill the dragon but there has one thing we have to do before we leave this place.” said Roger calmly, “Go with me Amelinda. I need your help” he

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 told

Chapter 3: Where is All-For-You shop (part 2)

“We can’t ask him.” squealed Gwen, “He is the person I don’t want to tell most. We should find All-For-You shop first and If we don’t find it, we will try to find other ways.” “We have no other choice.” said Heracles.  The carriage kept moving in long time then stopped. “We came - master.” the voice of the coachman coming in. “We Out Heracles.” said Gwen.  Heracles stood up at one. He kept his head down, gabbed on door handle then pushed it open. He made his way step out landing on the ground first, Gwen right after him then stepped aside. He turned to his coachman. “Find the way to park and make sure you can see us when we turn back. We will not here long time.” he said. “Follow your words, master.” said the coachman solemnly. He leathered the horses riding away.  Hurriedly, Heracles and Gwen strode off. They heading to a narrow aisle between houses, where they found All-For-You shop last time. It’s always deserted inside the aisle every times they walked in it and didn’t meet anyone
