From the dungeon to the astronomy tower was probably the most exhausting walk Hades had ever went. Imagine walking up the stairs from under the lake to the highest part of the castle. His backpack and telescope only made everything worse. As soon as he reached the observatory, Hades sprawled out on the floor, panting heavily and not caring if anyone was around. Hey! Wasn't that the guy who had his hat in the dust bin at the Platform? And there was a girl and a boy about his age... He saw them at the tapiory garden the other day! "Good evening, Professor...?" he still didn't know the guy's name.

Hades set up his telescope at one of the windows before he checked his watch. Then, he scribbled something on a piece of parchment. Now back to stargazing. Hades moved the telescope slightly norther to the east. A few minutes passed as he moved his telescope sideways, up, down, back and forth until he finally spotted something not so far from the east. It was a constellation known as Lynx and Hades quickly took his eye off the eyepiece, checked his watch and scribbled something on the same parchment.

After that, he changed the view of the telescope from east to west. He waited and waited for almost half an hour for something, anything to appear. Suddenly, something dark flew by in front of his telescope much to Hades' surprise. "HOLY MERLIN!! WHAT THE HECK'S THAT?!" exclaimed the boy as he jerked away from the telescope. Oh, crikes! Just a bloody owl. Who the heck sent their owl at this time of night? Unfortunately, that was the last thing caught on his telescope since Hades almost fell asleep several time to pay much attention on what was on the sky. He checked his watch and it was nearly two in the morning. Better make one last gaze before he went off to bed. Fortunately to Hades, the night happened to be the seasonal night where the Aurigids meteor shower took place. Excited upon what he had seen, the boy's energy boosted again. Even after the meteor shower finished, Hades continued to gaze for about another hour when he realised he needed to sleep. After packing up his telescope, he wrote one more observation on the parchment.
