The Girl and the Clyclops
As she climbed to the summit, her mind raced to loved ones,
friends, people she cared about, people she might not see again.
She knew she might die at the hands of the mighty Cyclops, but she
also knew of the many who die if she didn't defeat it.
No birds sang as she walked, no animals, no sounds at all, except the howling
wind. The trees all looked dead, no flowers were growing, even the grass
looked brown and lifeless.
"What an eerie place," she thought, "How can any..."
her thoughts were interrupted by the Cyclops' club smashing down beside her.
Immediately she reacted and leaped behind a tree.
"This is it" she thought, as she unstraped her sword, "but how do I kill a
creature 3 times my size?" she wondered.
*SMASH* The tree splintered as the club came down upon it. The impact threw her
back. She picked herself up, and started running towards it's legs.
as she passed through it's legs she took a swipe at it's ankles, a blood
curdling scream filled her ears as she did.
*whoosh* the club zinged just over her head. realizing the danger, she leaped
behind a rock. Her heart was pounding, but that's all she heard.
She peered over the rock, trying to see where the cyclops had gone.
Suddenly she felt a huge hand grip her, it was the cyclops!
As the cyclops brought her closer to it's face, she struggled to get free,
dropping her sword in the process. the cyclops glared at her, her mind raced,
loved ones popped into her head,
suddenly she remembered the jeweled knife that a special loved one gave her.
she also remembered that she strapped it to her arm before she left, and it was
still there! In one swift motion, she undid the strap, took out the knife,
and flung it at the cyclops' face. The cyclops reeled, screaming in pain.
It clasped it's face, dropping her. It started to stagger, and fell to its
knees, then on it's face.
She was hurt, and hurt bad, her head was bleeding, her left leg was numb, she
had a sharp pain in her side, and her vision started to blur. Her mind raced
to love ones, friends, family, the cyclops, the cyclops
"uhn... I have to kill it" she moaned. Almost completely on will-power she
got to her feet. Her head pounded, she staggered as she walked toward the
cyclops. As she reached its head, she could see the pool of blood formed on
the ground.
"I have to make sure it's dead" she thought. With great effort she raised the
sword over her head, and it more of a falling motion then a slicing motion,
came down on the cyclops' neck, beheading the beast.
She fell, and fell hard, the world faded, and she drifted into unconsciousness
She opened her eyes, At first it was all a blur, but soon she could make out
the form of a man over her. She started to moan, placing a hand on her
forehead
"shh," he said, "you were hurt pretty bad, but you'll recover"
she closed her eyes. "I did it," she thought, "I DID IT!"
