Chapter 14: The family torch (part 3)

 

“As usual – three – two for them.” said Leonard, turned to Heracles and Gwen. 

“Wait a moment,” said the senior. He took out three cups then poured something red inside the cups then gave each of them one cup. “Enjoy it guys.” he said, smiling.

“This is a kind of grape juice. You will like it.” said Leonard, raised his cup, hinted Heracles and Gwen to drink then took a gulp. Heracles, Gwen raised their cups and then also a gulp. It gave Heracles strange feeling as he drank the juice, making his mouth and throat be burnt. Heracles felt really hot after that.

“Are sure that it’s grape juice.” said Heracles suspiciously.

“Yes, it’s.” said Leonard surely, smiling. 

Heracles and Gwen turned each other. They both got the same feeling about the drink. Honestly, they didn’t like it but they still kept the cups on their hands. “If you want more, made their way to them. They will give you.” said Leonard, hinted them to the seniors after the barrels. Later, Leonard strode off to gather with his friends, leaving Heracles and Gwen there, enjoyed the party yourselves. Heracles and Gwen quickly put the cups of what Leonard called grape juice down and then made their way to go and find something to eat. They got some of food after that. Some food was place on tables along the room. Heracles and Gwen walked toward their and helped themselves to have some. When they were there, some seniors came to get to know Heracles and Gwen. They had a short conversation then at last the seniors walked away. Before they left, they gave Heracles and Gwen their cups of grape juice but Heracles and Gwen refused. 

It’s almost midnight but the party seemed not to end. People still kept staying there and turned much noisy. Heracles didn’t know what but some of boys started to lose control they turned noisy, talking much, yelling or even crying while some of them started vomiting, the even could managed to get in the restroom, vomiting at right their places. On other hand, some of them seemed to like to sleep they lied at anywhere in the room, not mentioning where it is and started snoring. That place in the time was really a noisy and messed place.

“Oh my god, what are you doing here? Do you know what time is it?” screamed Professor Linus, burst into the room and kept staying at the door. All people stopped talking, turned back looked at him. He stared at them a round. “Leonard – where are you?” he shouted. From somewhere in the room Leonard appeared, crept through the crowd of people arriving to Professor Linus. 

“Professor--” said Leonard in sleepy voice.

“What are you doing here.” said Professor Linus loudly.

“We have a party, professor.” replied Leonard, forcing his eyes to open. 

“Do you know what time it is?” said Professor Linus, walking in to take a look. People moved aside along his way. 

“I think it hasn’t reached midnight yet.” said Leonard, kept following him.

“Honestly, it’s over midnight.” said Professor Linus, turned back staring at Leonard by his cold black eyes. “You know that you are not allowed to gather after midnight, right?” he added.

“I know.” said Leonard. He hiccupped.

Professor Linus kept going and then at last he came to the barrels in one corner. He stopped at front of barrels then turned back looking at Leonard. “What are the things here?” he said, “Open them. I want to see them.” 

“Nothing special, professor. It’s only grape juice inside them.” said Leonard.

“Open it guy.” said Professor Linus, staring at a senior standing after the barrels. As soon as, one barrel was open, a nice smell spread out. Professor Linus bent down looking inside. “Wine,” he raised his voice, stood up then turned back staring at Leonard. “You brought wine to here? Do you know it is forbidden?” he raised his voice again. 

Leonard chose not to answer.

“An overnight party and then wine – Zeusas, do you think that you can do anything because you are the people who won the ten days of natural survival this year? If you do, you are too arrogant.” said Professor Linus, “I will take fifty points from your family that will remind you that you are not allowed to have any of overnight party and wine is not allowed to bring in here.”        

“The party is over. Turn back your room now.” added Professor Linus. He kept staying there, staring over them. Some of them immediately left the place. Others found the way woke up their friends then managed to bring them out of it. Heracles and Gwen also followed the crowd of people leaving the room. The place turned deserted and at last there had only Professor Linus in it. He took a look around the room then also left.

In the next morning, the stuff their family in the last night was notified on bulletin boards that made all people in castle Methonia knew about it. Heracles and Gwen met Leonard right the morning and was known that he was on the way going to Professor Oswald’s room when they were walking on the bridge going to their class. He told them that they didn’t need to worry about him then strode off heading to their family leader’s room. Then, they also went, hurried to their class. The next days, all things happened as usual. The night party quickly was forgotten after that. All things people paid attention on were the torch lightning ceremony at the weekend.

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 ...

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’...
