Percy's pov
"OH CRAP" was the only thought running through my head at that moment, I know from experience that I am seriously going to end up embarrassing myself. I know that Thalia can cause embarrassment beyond compare and I just ask her to fight me?. Whilst I was thinking that, she pulled out two wicked looking daggers. I only came to my senses when she said," let the fight begin". I lunged forward preparing to stab her but before I had the chance thalia did a front somersault twist over my head which then caused me to faceplant into the not so soft dirt. Next thing I new one of her daggers was in front of my neck and the other one was digging into the back. She then hopped off me and casually walked back to Artemis and picked up a conversation. All the witches and wizards were staring at us with their mouths wide open. All the demigods (except me of course) were looking at me with a look that obviously said," you idiot". Artemis noticed my quite obvious discomfort and stepped forward to introduce herself.

"That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen", I whispered to Ron. When I got no reply I look over and saw him staring wide eyed at something or should I say someone. I looked over and saw a girl who looked no older than 12 step forwards to introduce herself. "Hello young wizards and witches I am Artemis the goddess of the hunt', She stated looking over to Thalia who was lost in thought. People started whispering about Artemis staying stuff like, surely she can't be a goddess, She wouldn't be able to hurt a fly and she's to young gods are supposed to be old. Then Draco even had the guts to go up and say," Prove it, you can't be a god, gods are supposed to be old and smart your just a dumb little child". Thalia who had now came out of her trance looked at Draco with pure hatred in her eyes. Artemis looked down in what seemed to be pain. "Thalia I, I think I'm about to collap...", then with those final words Artemis fell down to the ground unconscious. You see, if you are a god and people say they don't believe in you it causes so much pain that you can sometimes lose conscious. Thalia looked between Artemis and the forbidden forest then decided to head to the forest. She suddenly stopped as if she had run into an invisible wall. " Cyclops", She whispered a tear sliding down her face. Annabeth's head snapped to Thalia and she ran forwards. Thalia then started hyperventilating and started to muttering to herself.
Thalia's pov
Everyone had gathered the information that there was a cyclops but what they didn't know was that it was THE cyclops! the cyclops that practically killed me. i didn't realize that i had started muttering until annabeth whispered the fact into my ear. a loud bang was heard getting everyones attention i turned around to see the cyclops standing looking, well, more like glaring at me. Percy stepped forward and let out a shout," what the stix do you want?" the cyclops thought for a second and then replied, i want the godess and Thalia grace, we have unfinished business". when he said my name i could hear the venomous tone. this cyclops was the most powerful one known to the gods so there was no chance Artemis in her current state would stand a chance. "Take me, and me only, not Artemis and none of the demigods. I will come without a fight, but if you hurt any of them i will hunt you down and tear you apart limb by limb" i shouted at him. he opened his mouth to reply, " well then come".
