Chapter 11: The invisible powder (part 4)

 

Heracles and the others came back their dorm before the dinner. Heracles and Gwen walked toward the male restroom, went in two separate stalls. They shut the doors closed. 

“It’s so great Heracles. We can go to everywhere we want but not to be found out of others. And what we need is a little this invisible powder. It’s really magical powder.” the excited voice of Gwen came out from the room.

“Yes, you are right. This’s a great powder but it’s also too dangerous if it fall into bad guys. I don’t dare to think about what they can do after that.” said Heracles, “I think we should talk Amelinda to keep the invisible powder in secret.”

“You’re right.” said Gwen. 

The doors opened widely. The white smoke poured out from the room. Heracles and Gwen burst out from the smoke. They gathered and quickly walked out the restroom. As soon as they strode off, another door inside the restroom slid open. A person walked out from the toilet room. The stood still there, looked toward the exit where Heracles and Gwen just crossed. He was the person both Heracles and Gwen knew. He was…

From the distance, something was heading toward the castle Methonia. It kept flying, turned closer and closer. When it came near, there was a giant griffin on the sky, upon it sitting a long silver hair and beard man putting in gray. The griffin landed down on ground next to the place Professor Linus and Genevieve who were standing there waiting for the man mounting on the griffin. As soon as the griffin stood still, the man leapt down in front of Professor Linus and Professor Genevieve. He was Professor Finn.

“Professor Finn.” said Professor Genevieve. Professor Finn nodded and then made his way stride off. Professor Genevieve and Linus hurriedly went after him. They walked toward Castle Methonia. His long cloak swept on ground right after his feet. “How long did the thing happen?” said Professor Finn in his deep voice.

“It happened before the ten days of natural survival finished.” said Professor Linus.

“Why didn’t you report it to me?” said Professor Finn.

“It’s because I want to handle it myself. I don’t think it’s so troublesome.” said Professor Linus.

“So did you find out anything?” said Professor Finn, walked into the castle hall.

“Not much but we lost two members of red-armband team.” said Professor Linus.

They quickly got out of the hall, steeped on staircases and then found the way to the place which Heracles and others couldn’t reach on. 

A short meeting was held right after that. All professors were asked to come and join it. At last, they all decided to use castle Methonia’s shield. All people of the four families were summoned in the castle hall in the next morning. Professor Finn and other had been there as they walked in. They all were sitting on table set at one side at the end of the hall where the owl odd wisdom stood on its pole. Except Professor Finn, the others there turned noisy they spoke to others in anxious voice. Then Professor Finn stood up, walked ahead then stopped in front of all students there. He opened his arms widely.

“All, pay attention.” he said, “Some can know but some can not that one girl has killed and two red-armband members are missing. It’s because of what I don’t know for sure but according to Professor Linus, it seems to be something very dangerous. It has power which may threaten to all of us people living in castle Methonia. We will try to find it as quickly as possible.” Professor Finn raised his voice, “But, till it happen, the castle Methonia’s shield will be used to keep you all inside in in order to protect your lives. Therefore, I want all of you to come here, inform it to you and make sure that no one was absent.” 

“Professor Linus,” he added turned to Professor Linus who was standing beside the table, “Is there any of the four families’ members not here?”

“They are all here Professor Finn.” said Professor Linus.

“Alright, I will start now.” said Professor Finn. He turned his way to the owl of wisdom which at the moment looked like a statue. Professor Finn held his scepter tightly then. He touched the head of owl of wisdom by the crystal ball upon his scepter. “Xypniste” she said. A flow of silver energy poured out from Professor Finn’s scepter, entering in the head of the owl of wisdom. The feathers of the owl of wisdom turned to be gold. It opened its eyes, still kept staying on its pole. “Are you sure Finn?” said the owl of wisdom.

“Yes, we need to do it now.”

“How long is it Finn from the last time you called me up to do the thing.” said the owl of wisdom in scary voice, flying up, “It’s about fifty years, right? No, it must be longer. I really don’t remember it but if castle Mehthonia need me for protect it, I will do it.” 

The owl of wisdom kept staying in midair for a while, spreading golden light. Then it fluttered up, flying through the hall ceiling then then all of the floors to the top of the castle. It kept flying up higher and higher. At last, it stopped in the sky and then flapped violently. Many yellow light waves appeared from its place then spread out widely moving and covering around castle Methonia, the four family dorms, nursery and all structures around there. Later, a large shield was formed covered whole the place. The owl of wisdom stopped fluttering then turned petrified. It and the light shield became a unified whole that its body still kept in midair, didn’t turn back its pole. Everyone was allowed to go outside to take a look. When they made the way to there, the shield had been there. It waved like water surface, transparent that people could see through. The shield emitted gently golden light. Though it looked soft, it was in reality tough, not to be broken by both strength and magic. 

They four families’ members scattered after that. The red-armband members also left, going with the people who walked back their rooms in the place in order to rest because they didn’t need to patrol anymore. Later, Professor Finn and the other also left. They managed to walked castle Methonia and then later, they all gathered in a room and had other discussions. It quickly turned dark after that. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda at last, turned back their dorm after long time wandering around and observing the shield.

“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 ...

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’...
