The Argive: Gates of Hades, Book I, Chapter VI

Chapter VI A Fate Worse than Death Achilles tried to break the chains restraining him. There was no use in doing that. The hideous creatures accompanying Hades, surrounded Achilles, with the edges of their weapons pointing at him. He gave up trying to free himself. "Well, nephew what brings you here?" said Hades, with a big spiteful smile on his face. Achilles, with anger filling up his chest, he tried once again to break the chains that restrained him. Once again, he failed. "I am here to stop your foolishness... Your stupid plan to destroy my world!" he shouted. "Hold on, now, son of Poseidon" replied Hades, laughing hard.

Balloons decorated the place, in the sideways of the courtyard the staff’s people were selling souvenirs and right in the middle was located a huge stage for the student’s final performance. Everything was in festive climate in this one-day ceremony. Finally! The time, that everyone was waiting for, has come. The academy president went on stage giving a congratulatory speech, signalling the ceremony start. All students one by one went on stage showing their skills. Lugous’s presentation was surely a magnificent one. As an archer/ranger he showed his skills mostly with a bow. First, in a split second he launched three arrows at once, hitting three different targets. Then he immediately took another arrow from his quiver, looked at the sky an
