“Heracles – what do you plan to bring with you?” said Gwen. He was managed to put some sets of clothes into his baggage.
“As like you Gwen -- I bring some clothes in case we have to stay in the place in long time.” said Heracles, tried to push his clothes inside a bag which turned had been bulging at the moment. “Of course, I can’t forget my scepter, my bow and other personal items.” he added.
“It is a good preparation Heracles.” said Gwen happily. “Our trip will turn easier if we have good preparations.” said Gwen.
“Of course, I know it Gwen. That is why I brought them.” said Heracles staring at his heavy luggage.
“Hope Amelinda is also us having good preparation.” said Gwen. He stopped a while. “Wonder what she wrote in the letter.” he added.
“You don’t need to worry about Amelinda. She always know what she should do.” said Heracles surely.
“You’re right. I shouldn’t doubt her wisdom.” said Gwen.
“Yeah, you shouldn’t.” added Heracles, tied his bag carefully. He brought it, leapt out from bed then managed to push it under his bed. “Give me your bag. We will hide it with mine here till we go” he said, looked up to Gwen. “Here, help me a hand.” said Gwen, pushed his bag to the bed’s edge. Heracles grabbed on it, pulled to floor then pushed under bed next to his bag. “Amelinda said that we should go after tomorrow breakfast. We have to leave them here till tomorrow breakfast finish. I think we have no other choice but to come back after the breakfast.” said Heracles.
“I see. We have to do it if we don’t want take too much attention from others.” said Gwen in deep voice.
“Oh, it’s time for dinner Gwen. I don’t think time passes so fast. We should go now.” said Heracles.
Heracles and appeared in the kitchen more early than usual. There was only Lena there as they came. She was cooking. Heracles and Gwen pulled their chairs then sat down waiting for the others. Amelinda appeared after that. She found the way sit to by them.
“Have you prepared everything yet?” whispered Gwen.
“Yes, I have.” she replied.
“How about the letter?” said Heracles, kept his voice enough loud for them to hear.
“It’s done.” said Amelinda, “I will put it on table in my bedroom before we leave. People will see it as they come to there.”
Footsteps approached someone appeared. They were Alcmene, Heracles’s mother and July, Amelinda’s mother. They walked together. “Oh everybody has been here. It seldom sees you in kitchen so early. You all come sooner than usual.” the voice of aunt July. She and Heracles’s mother quickly reached on the table. Amelinda stood up found her way to her seat opposite Heracles then sat down. Food was brought out after all people came. Lena put dishes on table then also made her way sit down with them. The dinner started.

“Heracles – Do you see anyone?” said Gwen. He was right after Heracles who was peeking out from a corridor, watching around. “No one here -- go” said Heracles. He broke out, leapt on the staircases, run down the living room. Gwen rushed right after him. They both quickly passed the front door then walked straight to the back of the building.
“She still doesn’t come. What do we do now Heracles?” squealed Gwen. He nervously looked around.
“We have to wait her.” said Heracles calmly. Then he walked straight to a wood bench. Gwen followed him. The big bags on their backs made their appearance look lumping. Heracles and Gwen took of their bags, put down on ground next to their feet after reached on the bench. They sat down after that and then leaned on the backrest waiting for Amelinda. Short time later, Amelinda appeared. She also brought a big bag like them on her back.
“Heracles, Gwen! How long you are waiting for me?” squealed Amelinda, hurriedly wwalked straight to them.
“Just few minutes. Did you meet any problem on the way you come to there?” said Heracles.
“No, I do not.” said Amelinda, stood front of “I only need more time to decide what I should bring with me.”
“We should go. Don’t want anyone to see us.” said Gwen suddenly hurrying them.
“Yes, let’s go.” replied Amelinda.
Then Heracles and Gwen stood up, took their bag on their backs, gathered with Amelinda. They all walked into their shifting-circle. “Stop here” said Amelinda. Heracles and Gwen stopped. They were standing around the biggest magical stone at the middle of their shifting-circles and inside the circle which was created by other magical stones “We have to make a round by hands around it.” she added seriously. Heracles and Gwen didn’t doubt they raised their hands, gabbed on others’ hands and made round of hands with Amelinda surrounding the magical stone at the center of the main circle. Heracles was person who stood between them, held Gwen’s and Amelinda’s one hand. After the round of hands was created, Amelinda called her scepter out then poked hard on the ground. She muttered something that Heracles and Gwen, both knew that was a spell but they didn’t understand it. The magical stones appeared again. Grasses around them was burnt and turned into ashes the heat radiating from them. They turned much brighter and burnt more grasses around them. It happened in moment until the biggest stone magic became extremely bright and released a stream of silver energy straight to sky. The others also released streams of energy after that, green, blue, red, brown and black. They all meet together at the silver stream of energy upon Heracles and others’ head few feet. On ground their shifting-circles also gradually appear. The energy from magical stones were lighting it up. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda could see the main circle, other smaller circles, triangular, hexagon which they had been created under their feet. They at moment looked clearly and very complicated. Crackling sounds came out from the place the streams of energy meet together fast and loudly. The air around the shifting-circle started moving and turned faster and faster each moment bringing dust, leaves and twigs to fly into a circles. The thing happened in about one minute. Then suddenly whole the shifting-circle spread out a very dazzling light which later covered over on Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda. With a whoosh the dazzling light disappeared. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda also vanished. The energy streams coming out from magical stones evaporated. On ground there only had the completed shape of the shifting-circles having gloomy color of ashes. The magical stone still gently light up. Then crack sounds suddenly come out then some cracks appeared on the biggest magical stone. A lot of zigzag light rays released from it, reached on the ground then vanished immediately. There was a pop, the magical stone flashed in seconds then turned dark after that. The other magical stones also turned off. The place at the moment turned messed with fires, ashes and smoke. However, it’s not in long time. The broken magical stones melted and vanished. The holes in which magical stones had been inside were filled. Grasses started grew up from ashes and quickly covered upon. The shape of shifting-circles and everything relating to it were hid completely, returned quietness and original shape for the place. There had no clue that Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda had been there creating a shifting-circle.
