The skeleton man led us to the hotel entrance. He opened the door and waited for everyone to enter. The hotel was as grand from inside as it was from outside. Golden lights lit up the whole lobby. A big chandelier was hanging on the centre of the room. The most attractive thing about the lobby were the sculptures of roman or maybe greek gods.

One of them was statue of Athena the god of knowledge. She wore a gown, she held a book in one hand while a pen in another. Next to her was statue of Hercules- the strongest of all gods, standing tall with all his muscles buffed up . Next to it was the statue faun- the roman forest god, half human with the legs in of a deer. Next was the statue of Poseidon- the greek god of sea, with a crown on his head. Something was there that made me uneasy of these statues. Well continuing on the statues was the huge statue of Zeus, the god of air and the king of all gods. He Had angry eyes and was holding a trident in his hand . Next came statue of Nemesis- the roman god of revenge surrounded by a dark aura which gave me chills. Last was the statue of hepatus- the god of fire with fire summoned in one of his hand. Yeah. At that time something struck my mind. The statues here matched everyones power. My Eyes widened I look at other 's faces trying to see that has anyone else noticed the same. I saw Harry who had the same wide eyes as me, he met my eyes, he moved his lips trying to say something which I couldn't here.

The skeleton man coughed. Everyone looked ahead at him. I was still wondering of what Harry was trying to say.

"Its about time for you to win your rooms. So this game goes like." I started feeling nervous, it had a trick. Harry had decoded the trick but isn't able to say it to everyone.

"To get your key for the rooms." He continued. "You select any one god without any discussion, reach the statue, stare in his eyes and if the god agrees you get the key otherwise a punch you will remember for your short life. The selection is completely upto you. So choose wisely."

"Flora you are first. Go towards your selected god."

Flora stepped ahead.

"Wait it wouldn't be fun Mallory, Root, Damien and Claudia you all four go with Flora." The skeleton man announced.

All of them went ahead.

Claudia stood ahead Nemesis, her legs were trembling, maybe due to Nemesis's dark aura.

Root stood ahead of Hercules both amazingly strong guys with buffed up bodies.

Damien stood ahead of zeus. Both were the strongest and here I could also feel that he is a good leader to believe.

Flora stood ahead the faun statue both having forest power.

"Now concentrate in the eyes of the gods." Said the skeleton man.

Suddenly everyone was in the air. It looked everyone had been hit by an invisible punch from the angry gods. All of them had been groaning in pain after hitting the ground. Something is wrong.

"Now the next two remaining." The skeleton man said.

Before he could say any further. Harry dashed ahead in the direction of gods. He ran and stood in front of... Hepatus.

I was kinda shocked. I remained fixed on my position ,confused.

I Reached towards his direction. I heard him saying "Don't come here. Please go anywhere else." Under his breath in a low voice. What was he thinking but without wasting time I stood in front of faun. Harry wouldn't do anything without thinking. All I could do was trust him and his decision.

We stared in the god's eyes. Suddenly the god's mouth opened inside it sparkled a bright golden key. Yesssss Harry's idea worked.

"Pick up your keys."

Harry and I plucked the keys from the god's mouth.

"So as it seems you all got to fit yourself in two rooms. Your rooms are at the end of the lobby on this floor. 108 and 109. Dial 666 for room service or any food. Your luggage is already waiting for you outside your rooms

"So good night.
Scary dreams."
