Chapter 13: The Nemean lion (part 1)

The next days, all things still happed as usual. Heracles and others went to class in morning and returned the dorm for lunch and then spent time in their rooms after that. Sometime, Heracles and Gwen also made their way to get out of their dorm, wandering around in front of castle Methonia. They found the way to look through the castle’s shield heading to Roger’s house. However, they only saw the shape of Roger’s wooden house which looked very tiny from the place Heracles and Gwen were. It stood lonely and quietly at the edge of the forest.  Sometimes, they caught Professor Finn mounting on his griffin, left the castle heading to the forest and turned back in the same day, maybe at the late afternoon or also maybe in night. Their family leader, Professor Oswald and other family leaders also left the castle to go to the forest in the period of time. Of course, they all didn’t mount on anything like a griffin, just walking to there and used to turn back before the dinner. “We should...

Chapter 12: The oracle (part 4)

“There had no clue to find out it Heracles. It’s too vague.” said Amelinda.   “Yes, I know.” said Heracles. They made their way to come and hid themselves in a corner on their way and kept staying in there waiting to turn visible completely then they walked out and came to the dorm after that. Fortunately, they didn’t meet anyone. When they came to their dorm, it’s very early for the dinner. Therefore, they decided to find somewhere to go. It’s difficult to them because all of them didn’t like to come to their room at moment. At last, the made their way to family library which seemed to be a quiet and private place for them.   “Do you know why Professor Oswald knew that we were there, Amelinda?” said Heracles when they were sitting in their family library. He began to think about what he had gone through. “I’m not sure. He might feel your energies or use some ways other.” said Amelinda.   “Our energies, what are they? How can he feel it?” said Heracles. “It...

Chapter 12: The oracle (part 3)

“Did Professor Oswald tell you when the ceremony is held?” squealed Amelinda. She, Heracles and Gwen were sitting in class. They had a history lesson that day. Professor Herodo still didn’t come. It’s early that moment. Therefore, people grouped and conversed. “Yes, he did. I told us that it will be held at noon when the sun is strongest. He told it’s the best time to connect with the gods.” said Heracles. “So we have to go right after this lesson.” said Amelinda. “Yes, we have to go right at the time, not having time to have lunch.” said Heracles.  The footstep was coming. Professor Herodo appeared, walking in the class. He came and stood a little waiting for people to turn back their seats. The noise turned lowered then vanished. “It’s very long time before the ten days of natural survival started.” said Professor Herodo, “I asked you write an essay about the five ages of man and requested you all to write at least three thousand words and you all did it well, writing enough the ...

Chapter 12: The oracle (part 2)

“It’s not bad choice, the idea of Professor Keisha.” the voice of Professor Genevieve came out. Heracles and Gwen turned to her and listen. “We can do ceremony at one and beg for a guidance.” added Professor Genevieve. “I agree to do ceremony. It’s the best choice at this moment. It’s better than going in forest and facing with the thing we don’t know a little about it. At least, we can find some guidance before facing to it. It’s also not bad.” said Professor Linus, looking one round around others there. “Any suggestion.” said Professor Finn after turned thoughtful for minutes. “As like Professor Linus and Genevieve, it’s a good choice for us now. Honestly,” he lowered his voice, “I am really confused having no clue to find the red-armband members and intruder.” Professor Finn stopped. He looked toward the others waiting for their suggestions. Professor Oswald didn’t object. The others also agreed with the idea.  “Alright, we will do a ceremony.” spoke Professor Finn, “Professor K...

Chapter 12: The oracle (part 1)

Professor Finn kept staying castle Methonia in the next days. Sometime, he also went out for a while but later, he turned back and kept staying whole the remaining time of the days. Whenever he got out, he used to mount on his griffin and then they flew away. His griffin always stopped right in front of the shield as it reached on it then Professor raised his scepter, pointed his scepter on the light shield. The shield was melted away creating a hole enough for Professor Finn and his griffin to go through. As soon as they got out, the light shield itself automatically filled the hole. It returns to its original state after that to protect people safety inside. When Professor Finn came back, it also happened like that. He created a hole on the light shield and then got in.  Other professors also could get through of the light shield. There had secret spell that only professors knew. Whereas, the students were not allowed to know, they were kept inside the shield. However, it didn’t ...

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...

Chapter 11: The invisible powder (part 3)

“Heracles, are you done?” the voice of Gwen. “Yes, I’m done.” said Heracles.  A door opened widely. A cloud of smoke spread out from a toilet room and quickly scattered. When it disappeared, the restroom stall was empty. Then noises of footsteps came out from the stall heading to another stall and then stood still there.  “Gwen, are you done.” the voice of Heracles. “Almost.” said Gwen. Then the door opened widely, smoked spread out. There also didn’t have any person inside the stall as the smoke scattered away.  “Heracles, where are you?” the voice of Gwen sounded again. “I’m here in front of your stall.” the voice of Heracles.  “Alright, I feel you.” the voice of Gwen, “Take my hand. I don’t want to separate with you.” Then the noises of footsteps went away heading to the exit of the restroom. The owners of the footsteps were Heracles and Gwen. They had come to the restroom after lunch, secretly went in the stalls and sprinkled the invisible powder on their body an...
