“I’m good but he’s not.” said Gwen, looking at Heracles.
“What’s wrong with you Heracles?” squealed Amelinda.
“I got a nightmare but I will tell you later, want to tell you clearly.” said Heracles.
“Okay.” said Amelinda then turned back.
Professor Linus appeared right after that. He strode toward his desk kept staying at there watching over the class as usual then asked people to bring their essays to him. Heracles and others made their way to his desk, put their essays on it then turned back their seats. The lesson happened as usual. They read something, played lyre a little at the end of the lesson. Heracles as usual didn’t pay attention much. His soul seemed to be somewhere on cloud in whole the class time. The only thing he remembered was to bring his report which explained why he was hanging out in the middle of the night to Professor Linus after the lesson finished.
“I will read your reports carefully. If any one of you dare to lie me, it will not only ten points each one be taken.” frightened Professor Linus before he left the class. Heracles and Gwen turned back to their seats. Amelinda was still sitting waiting them while the others had left. Heracles sat down and started telling them about his nightmare. He tried to tell them as much detail as he could.
“Are you sure that you did see Professor Linus in you dream?” asked Gwen.
“Yes, I’m sure. It’s exactly him.” said Heracles.
“Is it not because you are obsessed with Professor Linus? Therefore, you dreamed to him in night.” said Amelinda.
“I not only dreamed to him Amelinda.” said Heracles, “I still dreamed to another person who is also here in Hippocoon. The white chiton woman appeared in my dream has appeared here with our professors. She sat on professors’ table in the time we went to the owl of the wisdom to find out which the family we belonged to. I believe she is also a professor but not teach us in this time.”
“Are you sure?” said Amelinda.
“Yes, I’m sure and it’s not the first time I see them. I had told you about that nightmare before. Remember? It’s only turn more clearly this time and I can realize some people.” said Heracles.
“I believe you Heracles.” said Gwen, padded on his shoulder.
“I don’t say that I don’t believe. I mean it’s too difficult to understand the nightmare.” said Amelinda.
“I know it.” said Heracles, “But this is the second time I have it. It could be an omen of something to come, something terrifying.”
“I understand. Dreams that are repeated can be a forecast for the future. Furthermore, it’s a bad dream.” said Amelinda thoughtfully.
“So what should we do?” asked Gwen.
“I will try to find a way to decode the nightmare.” she added.
“How?” snapped Gwen, looking at Amelinda.
“I need to prepare something before I can tell it.” said Amelinda, “Anyway, go back dorm. I think it’s time for lunch now.”
“Right,”

Whole the afternoon, Amelinda kept staying in family library. Heracles and Gwen were impatient making the way to there and saw her but she seemed to be busy with something in thick books. Therefore, they decided to walk out and wandered. The red-armband seemed to appear everywhere that they met some of them on their way, along their lobby, in the bridge and even the castle. Then suddenly they wanted to meet a friend, Avery. They found the way to Herathyia’s building. By chance they met on the way.
“How are you recently Avery?” asked Heracles
“I’m fine.’ replied Avery.
“Does Hank still bother you?” said Heracles.
“No, he doesn’t. Our new family president is very good he and his fellows always around protect us from other family member.”
“You have new family president?” squealed Gwen, “Who is he?”
“His name is Iphicles.” said Gwen, “a first year like us.”
“You said Iphicles?” squealed Heracles.
“Yes, I did.” said Avery, “My old family president, Matilda has been in her last year. Therefore, a contest to find the new president was hold. Our old family president had nominated Iphicles and he had transcended others and became our new family president.”
“Does there have any mistake?” cried Gwen raising his voice, “Iphicles is your family president.”
“What’s wrong with you as I become Herathyia president?” the voice of Iphicles. He appeared behind accompanying with his fellows Adapter and Volograd.
“No, I’m not.” said Gwen shortly. He and Heracles turned back and saw them walking to them. Iphicles approached Heracles, looked at him. “What happened to you in Hippocoon Heracles?” he said, “Why do you always accompany with mess?”
“Look! When you are in your troubles, I have been Herathyia president.” he sneered.
“Our mother will be proud of you.” said Heracles.
“Yeah, she will but with you she will not.” he raised his voice.
Heracles chose not to answer him. They kept staying there looking each other in few seconds then Iphicles turned away. “Don’t mess up anymore, I don’t want to hear about your mess more.” he said then strode off with his friend.
“What is your relationship?” asked Avery curiously.
“He is Heracles’s twin brothers.” said Gwen shortly.
“Is it real?” squealed Avery, “I don’t see any similarity between them.” he added looking at Gwen.
“That is the truth.” said Heracles, “We are twin brothers. He looks like our father while I look more like our mother.”
“Yeah, but I see you both are not getting along well.” said Avery.
“Yes, we’re not.” said Heracles, “We have not lived together for long time.”
“What happened to you?” said Avery.
“Some family problems.” said Heracles reluctantly.
“I see.” said Avery then turned in silence.
“Maybe we should turn back dorm.” spoke Heracles.
“I think so.” replied Heracles.
Heracles and Gwen said goodbye to Avery then went straight to their dorm. They made their way to their library and saw Amelinda still staying there. “Do you find anything?” asked Gwen.
“Yes, here.” replied Amelinda, gave them a thick book named Tea leaf fortune how to read.
“So what do we do with this book?” asked Gwen.
“I will try to see the future a little and try to understand Heracles’s dream. There has no way easier than it. We all can do it easily. What we need now are some materials which are required to do any tea leaf fortune. It will take me a little time but I know where I can have them.” said Amelinda.
“When will you have enough the stuff?” asked Heracles.
