Odysseus POV:

We're fighting the cyclops, I'm getting pretty confident we can kill it, I mean, he hasn't been moving for awhile

Slash

Roaring noises

It won't be long before we... is that a club?
Wait... I realized where it's aiming.

Polites..

No..
NO!!!

"Polites, watch out!"
"Huh? Captain!!!!"

Without thinking I ran to Polites, and shielded him from the cyclops. And..

Polites POV:

Huh?
Why?

Why is Ody on the floor

I noticed that he was bashed by a club, the cyclops had a club?
"He has a club... HE HAS A CLUB!!-"
But.. why?
Why did...
"What are our orders?"
Why did he save me?
"Captain, CAPTAINNN-"
I can't breathe
Is this real?
Or am I making something up?
His eye...
"You've hurt me enough."
Please... tell me this is fake..
Don't tell me his eye literally popped out
Please
Please...
PLEASE!-
"Captain!"
Tell me Odysseus..
"Captain.."
Please.. god damn it!
"Captain!!"
Wait is that Eurylochus?


"Captain!!!"

To be continued...
































Just kidding

"Captain!!!"
I was caught back to my senses, I see Eurylochus holding Odysseus, wait, he's alive? I snap out of my thoughts and realized, Ody lost his eye and looks like he took big damage to his head, but he's breathing. I sigh, slowly rethinking. Should I greet the world with open arms like I would always do? Or.. should I get revenge for our captain? I mean.. I wouldn't be too far gone for my actions, I'm just giving an eye for an eye. Wait.. an eye for an eye.. I grin
"Eurylochus.."
Eurylochus looked at me confused
"Polities?"
I sigh
"We have to move quickly before the cyclops wakes up. Gather everyone around."
Eurylochus immediately nodded
"Y-Yes sir!"
Eurylochus gets the remaining alive people, it seems.. 71 are dead, and our captain is unconscious. I look at the members of the crew.
"Listen up! I know our captain is unconscious, but we can't sit around like sitting ducks! And I know I'm not as cunning as Ody, but.. I'll lead you all."
One of the crew members interrupted
"Shouldn't Eurylochus take lead?"
I shake my head
"You and I both know Eurylochus may be fit to be along side everyone and be a second in command, but.. I'm pretty sure Eurylochus doesn't think of the future, wasn't he the one who wanted to raid the island when we can't have any enemies at that time?"
The crew talked amongst themselves, Eurylochus nodded.
"Well, what do we do, Polities?"
I sigh
"Look at the club he dropped, we sharpen it by the stub."
The crew nodded and started sharpening the club
"I don't want you guys to kill him though.."
Eurylochus looked at Polities
"Why? He killed 71 men and injured our captain!"
Shit, what's the best excuse to not kill him.. ah!
"Well, Eurylochus, his body is blocking the path, if we kill him he'll be stuck inside!"
Eurylochus understood
"But where do we attack him?"
I sighed at Eurylochus
"We gotta stab him in the eye!"
They position the sharpened club, and jump at Polyphemus, stabbing him in the eye as he roars in pain
"Who hurt you?"
Eurylochus looked at me
"There are more of them?"
"Who hurt you?"
I look at Eurylochus
"We should sneak some sheep to the ship, once they give us an opening.."
"Who hurt you?"
Eurylochus grabbed my shoulder
"No, we should run.."
"Who hurt you"
I sigh
"We won't be able to take Ody and the sheep if we run!"
Polyphemus speaks to the other cyclops
"It was nobody.."
Wait what?
"If nobody hurts you be silent"
"Don't go!"
I was confused, why did he say nobody- OHHHHHHH... Nobody..
"Let's go, gang.."
We leave, but before we go I approached the cyclops
"By the way.. THIS LIFE IS AMAZING WHEN YOU GREET IT WITH OPEN ARMS!"
The cyclops scoffed at me
"Shut up, what's your name anyways"
"Polites- SHIT!!"
I run back to the ship before the Cyclops could smash me with his club
