Alyx appeared in front of them, she looked at her watch, "Okay... That was the end of the first saga, you guys have... Only 8 more to go!"

"8?" Thalia exclaimed, she had places to be. The immortal girl crossed her arms, "Only one took forever!"

Alyx rolled her eyes, "It was only 16 minutes."

"It felt like longer," Leo counted.

"Whatever, I don't care. I offered you a break but Reyna said she wanted to keep going, so we're going to keep going."

Thalia glared at her fellow huntress.

Alyx clapped her hands, "Okay, let's start the Cyclops Saga!"

[ODYSSEUS]
Over here 

Hazel gasped as she saw Odysseus shoot a sheep, "Poor sheep!"

[POLITES]
Look at all this food, look at all these sheep
I can't believe this cave has all this for us to keep

Piper shook her head, not even if she was staving would she give up being vegetarian, especially if she had to shoot down her own food.

[EURYLOCHUS]
I've gotta hand it to you both, this is quite the treat
There are enough sheep here to feed the entire fleet

[ODYSSEUS]
It's almost too perfect, too good to be true

Annabeth, Percy and Nico nodded, it was definitely too easy. If there was one thing they've learnt from their years of quests, an easy quest usually has a catch.

Why would the lotus eaters pass up on all this food?

"Wait—" Annabeth froze as she realised who Odysseus was about to run into. A cave of sheep... A cyclops... A similar creature from one of Percy and her past quests came to mind... "Polyphemus..." she whispered to herself.

[POLYPHEMUS]
Who are you?

"Grover's ex-fiance," Percy joked.

Everyone other than Thalia and Annabeth looked at him in confusion, Thalia somewhat knew about what had happened during the year she was resurrected, but it was only whispers and quick comments, she had no idea Grover had been engaged to that thing.

"What?" Reyna asked, thinking it was just a weird Greek inside joke.

"A few years ago, Grover had been kidnapped by Polyphemus, as a way of surviving, Grover tricked him into believing that Grover was a female cyclops.

Leo laughed, but the rest of the room shivered, they couldn't imagine being trapped with that creature.

[ODYSSEUS]
Hey there

"He's so much bigger than Odysseus!"

We're just travellers
We come in peace

[POLYPHEMUS]
You killed my sheep
My favouritе sheep
What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep
Don't you know that pain you sow is pain you rеap?

Time to drink
Your blood over where you stand

Gasps were heard from around the room as the Cyclops picked up Odysseus.

Your life now is in my hand
Before I'm done
You will learn that it's not so fun to take
You came to my home to steal
But now you'll become my meal
A trade, you see?
Take from you like you took from me

"Fair enough," Leo joked.

"Seriously?!" Piper exclaimed as she looked at her best friend.

"I mean, they did break into his house and kill his pet, I'd be pretty pissed off if someone did that to me—," the modified looks on his friends' faces made his laugh get caught in his throat, "I'm only joking!"

[ODYSSEUS]
There's been a misunderstanding
We never came here to steal
But now that I see we've done some damage
Maybe you and I can make a deal
I'll give you our finest treasure
So long as we leave alive
You can keep the world's best tasting wine

"I wish we had wine when we fought Polythemus!"

"How did you defeat him?" Jason asked curiously.

"It was a joint effort, Annabeth, Grover, Tyson, Clarisse and myself."

"CLARISSE HELPED?"

[POLYPHEMUS]
Wine?

[ODYSSEUS]
Have a drink
One sip and you'll understand

"Woah, Odysseus is even smaller than Polythemus' eye!" Hazel observed.

The power that's in your hands
A wine so fresh
You'd never wanna eat human flesh again

"Ah yes, people or wine? A fair trade," Leo joked making the people around him roll their eyes.

Then we shall be on our way
No bloodshed in here today
A trade, you see?
A gift from you and a gift from me

[POLYPHEMUS]
Ah, I'd like to thank you
Stranger, what's your name?

"That must have been some good wine."

[ODYSSEUS]
My name is Nobody, Nobody, Nobody

"Genius," Annabeth muttered to herself, she remembered the time when she pretended to be nobody with her mother's invisibility cap, Polythemus was fuming.

[POLYPHEMUS]
Nobody, for your gift I've one to reply

[ODYSSEUS]
I'm so glad we see eye to eye

[POLYPHEMUS]
Yes, you shall be the final man to die

"NO!" Everyone cried as they realised where this was going.

[ODYSSEUS]
What?
Watch out!

Nico flinched as he realised they were about to be seeing a lot of death in the next song.
