Hippocoon land

“We have to try first.” said Amelinda then turned to Gwen, “Gwen, give it to me.” Gwen walked toward her. At the moment Gwen was taking a toad which stayed lazily on his hand. “It will not hurt it?” said Gwen, covering the toad in his hands. “No, it will not.” said Amelinda, “The invisible powder will never hurt it a little.” Gwen hesitated a little then put the toad on table. It’s a very fat toad, too heavy to jump away so it kept staying on right the place where Gwen put. Amelinda took a little the powder in the pan then dropped on it. As soon as the powder touched on the toad, a small pop came out with some white smoke. However, no thing happened more. The toad still stood at there, lazily. They kept standing for a while. “So what?” said Gwen looking at Amelinda. “We must try another recipe.” said Amelinda. Then, she started mixed other kinds of powder. It took them much time to try. They at last also could find the recipe. When Amelinda took some powder and dropped o...

“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...

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 people 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 that what exactly it is but according to professor Linus, it seems to be something or creature very dangerous. It has power which may threaten to all of us people living in castle Methonia. Before I can know ...

“A girl died, two are missing. What are doing as the things happen?” a voice echoed to Heracles’s ears. It came from the person who had long smooth black hair, looked like professor Linus. He was walking around some people looking like red-armband members shouting at them something Heracles couldn’t hear. The image of them turned blurred then vanished. Heracles sank into darkness after that. Then a golden light suddenly spread out, Heracles frowned. A woman wearing in a white chiton and many of golden bracelets and necklace appeared in front of his face. She was in midair, seemed to lose her consciousness. “One comes from place not here, come and destroy every here. One half god blood, will appear and end it.” Then the light disappeared, Heracles was in darkness again. In the darkness a pair of bloodthirsty eyes suddenly appeared and then slowly moved toward Heracles. He tried to step backward but he couldn’t his body seemed not to obey him. Heracles scared sweat poured violently ...

The while owl statue gradually turned into gold, it spread out golden light and lit up whole the hall by the divine light. The golden owl moved open is eyes. “How long is it from the last time I appeared?” said the owl it soared up, “It must be entire a year. I can see new faces here, very young, strong, brave and even proud. It’s a very long time ago when the battle of the gods had ended. Zeus had ascended to the throne, divided the world into three, one for him to rule Olympus, another for one of bother Poseidon to rule ocean and the other for other bother Hades to rule the Underworld. The world was ruled by them in peace and peace for long times. Till, an argument came out between them the twelve gods and goddesses on Olympus. Who is the most revered god or goddess? The argument seemed not to have the end till goddess Athena gave them an idea. She advised others to choose people who live in ground, gave them strength, intellect and courage, asked them to go and do feats and b...

“It’s Grogon, a ground dragon.” a humpback man who brought an old lamp on his bony hand from somewhere approached Heracles, “It’s juvenile. If it is mature, it can round the world few rounds. However, some rules make creatures like it not to be allowed to appeared front of people. They have to live in Underworld. Some of them accept to be carriers to get out from the Underworld.” “Whatever, my name is Aiden. I will be the person who brings you to Hippocoon. Guess you all have met the Shadow-shifter. He was a child liking to play with everybody. You must get much fear before you come to here.” added the humpback man. “Yes, we did.” said Heracles. Then clanks spread out. Millions of pair feet appeared under Grogon which looked more like a huge millipede than a dragon. Grogon took a long yawn. Its head started moving back. “Welcome! Welcome first year.” Grogon said loudly, “new faces, very young and having much potential. I am Grogon who will bring you to Hippocoon. Very ni...

They kept running toward the statue of goddess Athena. “What are you doing?” cried Amelinda, struggling to escape from Gwen’s hand, “We will hit on it.” “It’s okay Amelinda.” Gwen calmed her, “A door is there.” “Ahhh!” cried Amelinda, closed her eyes. “You can open your eyes now.” said Heracles. “Where are we?” squealed Amelinda. “I don’t know.” said Heracles. It’s a long roof which was supported by marble columns above their heads. Some children were also staying there under the roof. They gathered into groups stood at other places in the roof talking. “So what do we do now?” asked Amelinda. “Wait.” answered Gwen, “The carrier will come and bring us go.” “Who is the carrier?” said Heracles. “I don’t know. Others told me that.” said Gwen. “What’s that?” said Heracles. He pointed at a round shadow which was on ground toward others. “Look! Are they its eyes?” cried Amelinda, hinted to a pair of white narrow shapes. “And it’s its mouth.” said Heracles, “What’s it doing? W...
