Hippocoon land

Then they strode off. They walked toward a marble stairs at the end of the room, walked on it. When they got through the landing, things seemed to change. The marble staircase disappeared and was replaced by a wooden staircase, narrow and dark. They all stopped. “What is it about? Everything around has just changed, hasn’t it?” Amelinda said in panic. “It seems that way.” Heracles answered softly. They turned back, watching. The marble staircase behind them had also disappeared, replaced by the same wooden staircase in front of them. “What should we do next?” Amelinda asked. Heracles hesitated slightly. Eyes looked forward observe. “Let’s go forward. I see a room in front.” he said. Then they moved on and stopped in front of the door. Heracles hesitated a bit. Then he knocked. “Come in.” a tired voice spread out. Heracles pulled open the door. Then he, Gwen and Amelinda walked in. There was a rather dark room. It was lit by some oil lamps spread out gentle blue light. The room was made...

“I must say you that your set is pretty cool, but not perfect.” said Chun, “We have had a piece of leather and we even don’t know to which creature of that leather is. However, it’s a wonderful material, extremely tough and sustainable, is not burnt, frozen or cut by normal ways. We have spent a lot of time and effort making something useful out of it. At last, we have made something, parts of you set. They are the pair of boots, pair of shoulder guards and a pair of arm guards but not body guard. We had to use another leather to make the body guard. Therefore, it is not perfect. Whatever, it may be a good choice for you.” “I also think that.” said Heracles. “So, I confirm that you chose these, right?” said Chun. “Yes, we are.” They answered. “I will note it here.” said Chun. He wrote something into his notebook, “People in our industry have a motto: Something is made of just only for someone.” said Chun mysteriously, “We always believe in it.” Chun closed his notebook, raised his hea...

“Sorry lady, gentlemen,” said Chun again, “Do you hear me?” “Sorry, we didn’t pay attention to you. It’s because of things there. They are so beautiful. We were overwhelmed.” explained Amelinda. “Oh – It’s really no problem. I can understand it.” said Chun, “I guess that this is the first time you to a place like this. Everyone who came here for the first time acted like you.” he added, still with his friendly smile. “Yes, this is the first time. We are preparing for our journey tomorrow to Hippocoon and enjoy our first year here.” said Amelinda happily. “So I was right.” said Chun, laughing, “Welcome your first time here. May I call you, lady?” “Amelinda” said Amelinda, “My name is Amelinda.” “And you two, gentlemen?” said Chun, turning to Heracles and Gwen. “I am Heracles; I am Gwen.” said Heracles and Gwen in turn. “Oh – Amelinda, Heracles and Gwen; they are all very nice names. I like them.” said Chun. He looked at them and friendly smiled again. “Thank you.” they all replied....

“What are about the gods and goddesses? Which coins did they create?” Amelinda spoke up. “Do you know about the symbols of other gods and goddesses? If you know, you can guess the coin they’ve created. Peacock coins created by goddess Hera, caduceus coins created by Hermes, flame coins created by Hestia, hammer and anvil coins created by Hephaestus, owl coin created by Athena, deer coins created by Artemis, vulture coin created by Ares, raven coins created by Apollo and swan coins created by Aphrodite.” “How are about Hade and Poseidon? Why don’t you mention them? I mean they are also powerful gods on Olympus.” asked Amelinda quickly. “For some reason they don’t create any coins and they also didn’t not create Hippocoon land.” said Gwen. “Why?” squeaked Amelinda. “You will probably find the reason when you get there.” said Gwen.   “What are bout offspring of god Hade and Poseidon and people who are chosen by them? Do they go Hippocoon and study there?” “Guess they do, right G...

See you later Queen Alcmene.” said Amelinda then hurriedly walk after Heracles. Quickly they appeared in front of their building. They strode cross the garden which grew many kinds of flowers. All were looked after carefully and blooming. The Old Gardener was inside doing his job. Heracles and Amelinda said hello to him then kept striding. The garden was large and beautiful, rounded by hedges which protected it from any of sabotage. Heracles and Amelinda rushed. They came to the place where their friend Gwen was standing by a carriage on the road. Gwen grinned as he saw them. “Hi Heracles, Amelinda.” said Gwen. “Hi Gwen” Heracles and Amelinda said together. “Come on,” said Gwen, “We will go to the town and found something for our journey tomorrow.” Heracles and Amelinda made their way to walk in the carriage. Gwen followed after them. Then the carriage rolled heading to the town. “Do you know anything about the place where we go tomorrow?” asked Amelinda. “Yeah, I know because my fath...

“Just only few days I will go. Will you be fine, mother?” a lovely voice of a boy came out. “I’ll be fine, Heracles. I still have July, Lena and including the Old Gardener here.” replied a woman warmly and gently. She smiled, lovingly looked on her son. Heracles didn’t answer, looked on his mother worriedly. His mother smiled gently then she pulled him nearer and caressed his hair. “Don’t worry. I will be fine.” she said. Heracles didn’t reply, still kept silent. Then suddenly, he remembered to something. He turned back and looked at his mother. “Mom, don’t you think my father love me?” he asked. His sudden question stunned her. Her hand unconsciously stopped caressing his hair. “Of course, he loves you.” she said then continued caressing him. Heracles blinked looking his mother. “Why doesn't he come visit us?” said Heracles in sulked voice then turned away.   “He was too busy. It’s why he can not come and meet us.” said his mother, still in gentle voice. “Why did we leave?” ...

PREFACE Heracles was a boy who lived in Tiryns. His father was Amphitryon, the king of Tiryns and his mother was Alcmene, the queen. He had a twin brother. His name was Iphicles. They lived in their castle but for some reasons, he and his mother left the castle to live in a building far away the castle when he went to age of seven. They kept living there until Heracles went to age of thirteen. That time, he received a letter from somewhere called Hippocoon land. The person who sent the letter to him was Finn who said that he was leader of castle Methonia where taught people to control and use the magic inside themselves. Finn was a professor, the headmaster of this place, he invited Heracles to come and study at there. When Heracles still did not to know what he should do, he was let to know that his friend Gwen and Amelinda also got the same letters. At last, they decided to come Hoppocoon land and then from them time, Heracles and his friend had exciting experience, travels and ...

Heracles and other first year of his family followed other Zeusias left their dorm, walked on the bridge and headed to the central castle Methonia. They were led to their classroom by their seniors. Hurriedly they found the way to have seats there. Heracles and Gwen sat next to the others while Amelinda sat at the table front of them. Heracles and Gwen made friends with someone around them and chatted with them in the time they waited for their lyre professor. The class room pushed open, a man in black appeared strode ahead the desk. He was a tall thin man who had long black hair and an angular face. Heracles realized him because he had seen him in the first day in the castle hall, he was one of families’ leaders. He kept standing at the desk in seconds looked over whole the class by his deep black eyes. They noise turned less noisy then turned quiet. “First year Zeusias.” he said, “I am Linus, your lyre professor, also the leader of Herathyias. If you want to know, I am also the le...

“Who do you think you are chosen by?” said Gwen. “I don’t know.” said Heracles, “Ares is great and Apollo is good too. I like to have a symbol of the sun. However, if I have something from Zeus king of gods and goddesses, it is greatest.” “Yeah, Zeus is the best.” said Heracles. Honestly, there had some people blessed by god Zeus. They got the symbols of eagle, bull, and even oak but no one of them was given the symbol of thunderbolt, the ultimate symbol of strength. No one dared to think about it and even in Hippocoon there had very few people owned the symbol. “I think I like to have something which helps me heal.” said Amelinda, turned to them. “It’s best for you.” said Gwen. Henry who stood right in front of Amelinda walked ahead. Of course, his turn came. He was a medium high muscle boy who had short hard black hair. “The symbol of two spears is on your right shoulder, arrow and bow on the left.” cried the owl of wisdom, “You was born to fight. Which family will you choo...
