Chapter 12: The oracle (part 2)

“It’s not bad choice, the idea of Professor Keisha.” the voice of Professor Genevieve came out. Heracles and Gwen turned to her and listen. “We can do ceremony at one and beg for a guidance.” added Professor Genevieve.

“I agree to do ceremony. It’s the best choice at this moment. It’s better than going in forest and facing with the thing we don’t know a little about it. At least, we can find some guidance before facing to it. It’s also not bad.” said Professor Linus, looking one round around others there.

“Any suggestion.” said Professor Finn after turned thoughtful for minutes. “As like Professor Linus and Genevieve, it’s a good choice for us now. Honestly,” he lowered his voice, “I am really confused having no clue to find the red-armband members and intruder.”

Professor Finn stopped. He looked toward the others waiting for their suggestions. Professor Oswald didn’t object. The others also agreed with the idea. 

“Alright, we will do a ceremony.” spoke Professor Finn, “Professor Keisha, you are the main responsible for ceremony. Please prepare for necessary things. The ceremony will be held on the next day of tomorrow. I want it to happen as soon as possible.”

“I will try.” said Professor Keisha.

Then Professor Finn stood, made his way to leave the room. He walked passed Heracles and Gwen as he got pass the door but didn't spot them there. Professor Finn turned his way at the end of the lobby, went upstairs and then vanished from their eyes. Others also left the place. Professor Linus accompanied with Professor Genevieve. After them were Professor Keisha and others except Professor Oswald. They quickly went away. Heracles and Gwen kept waiting for them to go far. They planned to leave right after that. However, Professor Oswald prevented them.

“Heracles, Gwen, walk out.” said Professor Oswald.

“Why does he know we are here?” whispered Gwen.

“I don’t know.” lamented Heracles.

“Come in and close the door. I can feel your presence here.” said Professor Oswald.

Heracles, Gwen walked in the room, closed the door and then sprinkled some visible powder in their hands. They bodies turned visible after few moments.

“Professor.” they said.

“Why do you come here?” asked Professor Oswald.

“We followed Professor Linus. We think he’s not normal, may relating to stuff recently.” said Heracles.

“What do you mean?” asked Professor Oswald.

Heracles hesitated, not knowing to give Professor Oswald any reason. 

“I think he's doing something suspicious.” Spoke Gwen.

“It will never happen. Though I and Professor Linus don’t match but I know exactly that he is not the person who can do the thing you are thinking about. Forget it.” said Professor Oswald.

“Yes, professor.” they said.

“Anyway, you don’t need to use the invisible powder more. Go with me. I will bring you both to our family dorm.” said Professor Oswald.

“Yes, professor.” they said together again.

Professor Oswald led them to get out from the place after that. They kept going downstairs. Fortunately, they didn’t meet anyone on their way. 

“Where will the ceremony be held professor?” asked Gwen.

“At a high place in the castle, It has a hall. The ceremony will be held in there.” said Professor Oswald.

“How do gods give us suggestions Professor?” asked Heracles.

“Through oracles.” said Professor Oswald, “They will give us guidance through oracles. We have one of them, the oracles. She is Professor Keisha. She is also the foresee professor.” 

“Who is she?” squealed Gwen, “Is she the Professor who wear a lot of bracelets and necklaces?”

“Yes, she is.” said Professor Oswald.

They kept going passed the bridge between their dorm and castle Methonia, stepped on the third floor then separated. Professor Oswald made his way to find Leonard while Heracles and Gwen went to find Amelinda. They went toward Amelinda’s room and were let to know that she has gone to library. Therefore, they strode of, walking toward the library. When they came, Amelinda was there sitting alone at a table. They hurriedly rushed into her then managed to sit by her.

“Amelinda,” said Gwen first. He bent down heading to Amelinda, “I want to tell you this thing. A ceremony will take place. Professors will be held in the castle. Do you want to go and see it with us?”

“A ceremony.” repeated Amelinda, “For what?”

“An intruder has broken in Hippocoon land.” said Heracles in deep voice, “It is considered the thing which did kill the girl and relate to the missing red-armband members. However, they, our Professor can’t find it. Therefore, they plan to do a ceremony and beg gods’ guidance. One of our professors is an oracle.”

“Oracle,” Amelinda raised her voice, “Who is she? Why don’t I know?” she said.

“Of course, you don’t know her because she doesn’t teach us this term.” said Gwen quickly.

“The ceremony will be held on the next day of tomorrow. I and Gwen plan to go and take a look. Do you want to go?” added Heracles. 

“Yes, I will go.” said Amelind at one, “I also want to see how oracles connect with the gods. Where is it held?”

“Professor Oswald told that it will be held under a dorm at the highest place of castle.” said Gwen.

“You meet Professor Oswald. You did say he tell you it?” squealed Amelinda.

“Yes, I did. It’ unbelievable but he could feel us even though we were invisible. I don’t know how but he knew exactly I and Gwen were outside of the room he and other got meeting.” explained Heracles.

“Yeah,” said Gwen, “He didn’t ask us to show up till all of the others left the place. And then he went with us to our dorm after that. We had a conversation on our way. We separated after we came to our dorm.”

“He felt you. How could?” said Amelinda thoughtfully.

“It’s right.” said Heracles, “However, not all of people can realize us. It still works to them. Except Professor Oswald, no one of other professors recognize us there.” 

“We did stay there besides the door to wait for other Professor to walk cross but there seem to have no sign that they know us there.” added Gwen, “Therefore, we don’t need to worry. We can go to the ceremony in peace.”

Amelinda looked at Gwen. “Oh no, I don’t worry about it.” she said, “I just think that the invisible powder is not always effective. Whatever, I will go with you.”

Heracles and Gwen kept staying in library with Amelinda some minutes chatting. Then they all made their way to leave the place.

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 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...

“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’...
