Hippocoon land

 All members of Zeusia fist year gathered in family room after dinner. They grouped, conversed to wait for their family leader who still didn’t come. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda grouped with some people there. “My brother has ever said about ten days of natural survival at one time he came back from Hippocoon.” said a boy to others. He quickly was noticed by others who hurriedly made their way to him. Heracles, Gwen and Amelinda stopped speaking and paid attention on him in order to hear what he said.    “What did he say?” squealed a girl excitedly. “He told me it was the most memorable activity of every first year. It’s the chance for all of them to devote to their families. The activities are taken place outdoors in the forest behind our castle inside the area which was enchanted to protect us from of dangers coming from forest.” said the boy, raised and lowered his voice mysteriously. All people focused on listening to him. “Ten days is the time for us to live there an...

“Heracles, Gwen” the voice of Professor Linus, “How do you explain why are your essays the same?”   “You are so close to each other that you share the other’s ideas.” he sneered, looking at them. “No, we not.” muttered Heracles. His ears went red. Amelinda turned back at one, forced herself not to speak loudly but her voice still in high pitch. “God, why did you do it.” she said. Heracles and Gwen kept silent, didn’t dare to look at other place, keeping their eyes in somewhere around Professor Linus’s desk. Their ears and even their faces went red. All people in the classed looked at them whispered.  “It’s not all.” added Professor Linus, left his desk walking toward them. “Let me read a little from their essays.” “Lyre, the musical instrument made of god.” he started, “I wonder how much boring of our life before lyres were created. I wonder how people can relieve their sadness, sufferance and even disappointments if we don’t have any lyre here.” He stopped, looked at Her...

“It’s few days ago when I and Gwen were in front of castle Methonia, we saw a hooded girl who sneakily got out from it heading to forest. We felt the thing strange and then immediately followed her to the forest’s edge, go in a small walkway far away from this place. However, when we went in deep forest, she vanished.” Heracles stopped. “Yes” Gwen added, “We thought that you need to know it. Therefore, we found the way to here at one but you were absent. We waited but couldn’t spend too much time there to see you so came back and stuck in some messes till now.” “You make me think much.” said Roger, “I think I will go and check a little at place you saw her. Anyway, I wander what messes are you stuck in?” “They were caught as they came back from here.” said Amelinda, “Professor Linus requested them to write reports and took ten points from each one. He even requested the red-armband to patrol more frequently after that. Therefore, we couldn’t go to here.” “It must be Professor Linus.” s...

“It’s about two days.” said Amelinda, “I will go and prepare for something now.” Then Amelinda hurriedly left. Heracles and Gwen also got out their family’s library then walked to their room. Amelinda appeared after two days bring a small pocket with her. She hurriedly pulled Heracles and Gwen to go with her to an empty classroom in the castle. They managed to sit around a table and then Amelinda started taking stuff inside her pocket out, three tea cups, some different leaves, roots and stones, some small bottle with powder inside and there even had a pot of water. “Heracles, I need you to boil his pot of water before we start.” said Amelinda. “I will be finished soon.” said Heracles. “Nob.” he called. His scepter appeared. Heracles grabbed it, pointed at the pot of water. “Vrazoume” he spelled. Fire suddenly spitted out of his scepter, rounded the water pot burnt it. He sucked his scepter inside his space ring. The fire still burnt to pot. He left it there, turned to Amelinda and Gwe...

“I’m good but he’s not.” said Gwen, looking at Heracles. “What’s wrong with you Heracles?” squealed Amelinda. “I got a nightmare but I will tell you later, want to tell you clearly.” said Heracles. “Okay.” said Amelinda then turned back. Professor Linus appeared right after that. He strode toward his desk kept staying at there watching over the class as usual then asked people to bring their essays to him. Heracles and others made their way to his desk, put their essays on it then turned back their seats. The lesson happened as usual. They read something, played lyre a little at the end of the lesson. Heracles as usual didn’t pay attention much. His soul seemed to be somewhere on cloud in whole the class time. The only thing he remembered was to bring his report which explained why he was hanging out in the middle of the night to Professor Linus after the lesson finished. “I will read your reports carefully. If any one of you dare to lie me, it will not only ten points each one be take...

“Heracles, Gwen,” the voice of Amelinda, “What did you last night? Your names one more time appeared on the bulletin board.” “What happens, Amelinda?” said Heracles, rubbing his eyes, sat up. “I heard someone said that you and Gwen appeared on our family bulletin board. They said that you both were caught by Professor Linus himself last night.” squealed Amelinda. “What did you do? Do you know that I have waited for you both whole the last night in our library?” added Amelinda still in high-pitched voice.  “Come on,” said Gwen, “We have reason to do it.” “What is that?” said Amelinda quickly. “We will tell you later.” said Heracles, “First, we need to go and find out what was notified on the board.” Amelinda went out first. Heracles and Gwen changed into their class uniform then walked out going with Amelinda to their family’s living room. They approached to their family bulletin board where people were gathering. There had some red characters appearing on it. They were: “Last night...

“Where is she?” cried Heracles, peeked out, “She has vanished Gwen.” He hurriedly got out from his hiding place, Gwen right after him. They both looked around to find her but they didn’t see her. They came to place where they saw her standing before but it had no trace there. They wandered there and found in long time but to get nothing. “It’s getting dark Heracles. We have to get out from the forest before the darkness covers whole this place.” Gwen urged. Heracles nodded. He took a look one more time then he and Gwen walked back to the walkway and found the way to get out from the forest. I nearly turned dark as they walked out from the forest. Heracles and Gwen could see light from the castle Methonia where they studied.  “I think we should go and tell Roger about it.” said Heracles. “So, we must hurry Heracles.” said Gwen. They hurriedly strode along the forest’s edge heading to Roger’s house. They quickly arrived to there. Roger’s door closed at the moment. They knocked on the...
