The Godslingers: Chapter 16

Linda POV

I gasped when i saw Josh and Jack running back to the boat, the giant ugly cyclops behind them.

I grabbed my sword and shouted to Andrew "Andrew come on, we need to help the others!!"

Andrew pressed his ring and it sprang into a gold sword, when he untwisted his armband it became a big bronze shield.

"William stay on the ship, your still too weak to fight!" William nodded and grabbed his bow and quiver as me and Andrew jumped to shore and ran towards Polythemus.

Andrew jumped, he soared threw the air which was inhumanly possible and slammed his feet right into Polythemus's nose and the cyclops staggered.

I waved my sword and suddenly the Cyclops was spluttering and gasping for breath

"Jack, Josh get to the boat!" shouted Andrew, setting a defencive position in front of me.

Polythemus got up and held his breath, he charged at us, his arms curled into fists.

Polythemus punched his fist towards Andrew but he raised his shield and blocked the blow.

Polythemus pushed with all his strength and raised Andrew into the sky and then threw him high into the air till he disappeared into the clouds.

I stared up in horror, where was he?

Polythemus looked down at me "My fleece!"

i raised my sword but Polythemus knocked me away, my sword flying away and disappearing in the tall grass.

Polythemus loomed over me, grinning "Pretty...." he made a grab for me.

Suddenly i heard a battle cry, i looked around and so did Polythemus but we saw no one then suddenly something landed on Polythemus's head.

It was Andrew, he raised his golden sword and plunged it into Polythemus's brain, Polythemus stared in horror..

"Ow..." and he exploded in a mini nuclear bomb of gold dust.

Andrew emerged from the pile of dust, his hair looked gold now.

He helped me up as Jack and Josh came up "Andrew, Linda...that was amazing!!! no one in history has ever destroyed Polythemus!"

"Yeah well lets go find shelter, we need to stay the night and tommorow we'll fix the ship"

"Agreed" we all said.

That day i had found new respect in Andrew.
