Percy's POV

We got out of the boat and I was hoping that this boat did not belong to one of Luke's minions, that would be sad, to travel all the way here only to witness Luke take away the Fleece. Yeah right. I could feel the power of the fleece, it was radiating from the other side of the island and the only way to get there was through the very large cave a few hundred meters from us.

We walked towards the cave with utmost attention when we heard a huge roar. That must be the protector of the fleece. However, there was no mention in history of who was the current owner/protector of the fleece. 

We entered the cave only to be greeted by the sight of Clarisse hanging upside down over a huge cauldron which was getting heated. My eyes met Clarisse's eyes and she mouthed the word "Cyclops." 

"How many?" I mouthed back.

She raised a finger, that meant one, Easy. She must have seen the look on my face, when she shook her head. That meant it was a very big cyclops or he had some hidden friends. Suddenly, the whole cave shook and I heard loud footsteps.

"Is my food ready?" came a gruff voice.

"Yes my dear." came the reply, and then they came into full view. One was the biggest cyclops that I have ever seen and the other one was a.. satyr. What the hell was a satyr doing here? And how was he alive? Those would be answered later when I heard some footsteps behind us. I turned around to see Tyson. 

"Tyson! How are you alive?"

"Brother! Rainbow saved me when big boat went boom!" Tyson whisper yelled.

"Who's Rainbow?"

"The one that took us from camp."

"You mean the hippocammus." 

He nodded.

"Well, I'm quite happy you're here now but I need you to go to the other side and locate the fleece and get it back to the boat."

"Okay."

With that he was gone and I turned back to see Brendan and Annabeth on the verge of tears.

"What happened?"

"The satyr's Grover and the cyclops plans to make him his bride and eat Clarisse." Annabeth said.

"What the hell? Did he say anything out of his useless mouth."

"He said that his eyesight had become very bad ever since 'Nobody' stabbed him in the eye."

Nobody? He's talking as if a person was nobody. Let's see, a cyclops who was stabbed in the eye by nobody. Odysseus had an encounter with the cyclops Polyphemus and he stabbed him in the eye as...

"I've got it! The cyclops is Polyphemus and he still fears Nobody."

"You mean that we have to taunt him using nobody?" Brendan asked.

"Yes." Annabeth said and I could basically see the gears turning in her head. " I've got an idea. I could wear my cap and taunt him by moving around him while being invisible and say that my name is 'Nobody' while you could take Grover and Clarisse to the boat."

"It's a good idea but are you sure?" She nodded. "Then let's make this work." With that she wore her cap and silently moved towards Polyphemus when she said, "Polyphemus, you have been very bad."

"Who was that?" He shouted.

"It's Nobody or have you forgotten me?" 

"Nobody!Finally, I can get my revenge on you." With that he started throwing boulders towards her voice and I hoped that she could just escape.
