Bow of Acropolis

Chapter I : The Bizarre Chamber

Kriinnggg...

As the school bell was ringing, sign the class was over. It was the last day of the semester before the summer break.
Edlynne put her glasses off, not really interested like the others... uh... friends? Nah, she hasn't.

"I heard you join the archery competition for next month" Liliana said, break the silence.

"Well, you are not wrong" Edlynne replied immediately.

"Oh okay princess, but are you sure about that? I mean it can hurts you" Liliana sneered with all her cockiness.

"I don't know either, but do you want to find out together?" as Edlynne replied, she tried her best not to quiver.

Liliana raised her eyebrows, attempted to guess what's Edlynne means by that as she pretended to giggle.

"You know what, actually i do too" Liliana replied didn't want to lose.
"I will be very happy to find out" She added.

Edlynne merely smiled, though deep inside she wanted to throw off resting bitch face.

"How about a deal?" Liliana asked.

Edlynne listened carefully.

"Whoever wins the competition will be the president of the class on the next term" Liliana proffered to Edlynne.

"Why would i want to do that?" asked Edlynne earnestly.

With a disparaged smile, Liliana said, "I don't know. Maybe, to proof i'm wrong about you?"

"And if you lose?" asked Edlynne.

"Uhm..." Liliana narrowed her eyes upwards while crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"Be a volunteer to clean up the class everyday?" offered Liliana.

"Deal" answered Edlynne without hesitation.

"Agghhh... what an idiot" Edlynne thew her body on couch realized what was happening.

"Wow. Chill. What's going on?" asked Leon, Edlynne's dad.

"Nothing. Just a foolishness i used to do" Edlynne sighed.

"Your mom told me to pack up your stuff for tomorrow" Leon replied.

Edlynne is the only child ; no other she was a loner and little shy. She is a mix blood. Her father is greek and her mother is british. Besides english, she also can speak greek fluently. She loves to archery, but not an expert.

After 3 hours 30 minutes in the air. She finally make it to Athens, the capital city of Greece. Its the place where she was born.

"Okay kiddos, where is our first destination?" asked Leon excitedly.

"The Acropolis" answered Emma, Edlynne's mom.

"Wrong. Restaurant" said Leon abruptly while held his starved stomach.

Edlynne and Emma looked at each other and laughed.
After all their bellies filled. They straight to The Acropolis, one of the historical places in Athens, it is the most famous temple that became historical center of Athena—The Goddess of Wisdom and War.

"Is Athena always be an everyone's favorite?" asked Edlynne all of a sudden.

"Well. She's my favo. So i guess she is?" answered Emma while looked at the Athena's sculpture.

"Everyone but not me. I like Athena but my favorite is Poseidon" added Leon whilst busied with his map.

"This myths is high-key interesting. I learnt much in my history classes" Edlynne said without turned away from Athena's sculpture.

"How about yours? Who's your favo?" asked Emma diverted her eyes to Edlynne.

"Um... I'm not really sure, but. I'm also curious" Edlynne replied.

"Almost all of them know how to archery. You should learn from them, then" Leon said, break the little silence in Edlynne's head.

Right after that her eyes caught something bizarre on the far side of the building. It kinda looked like chamber but darker. Edlynne didn't really sure about what she just saw, so she narrowed her eyes to make it looked clearer.

"What is those things?" Edlynne asked herself.

Her curiosity throbbed. She couldn't help it but to find out herself. With a certain step, she approached those 'bizarre' things.

Now her vision became clearer. Within a few range she stopped. She looked around and that chamber pretty desolated. As if no one could see it but she.
