I guess I should start with my name...Thomas Ray, I'm thirteen years old. Being the son of Apollo is really tough...maybe I should start with me being rescued by my dad...yah maybe be I should start with that...
I woke up shaking in my clothes. Well for my clothes it's just jeans, some running shoes and a color gold shirt. Yah, I said gold. If your wondering why I'm shaking like I'm a human ice cube, well I'm living in the streets. I ran away from home…not because I hated my mom or anything…its just she never told me about my dad and what happened to him…also we got attacked by big…well ill call it what I think I saw…we got attacked by a Cyclops. Well I guess I better get moving…that thing has been following me where ever I go. I got my bag and started walking along the side walk. I kept thinking about my mom and how she saved from that Cyclops by sword fighting it…I didn't even know she owned a sword. Well she did…she rocked that sword. When she finely got knocked down…she told me to run…and not look back. When I was done with my thinking, I heard people start to scream…he's here.
Seeing him for the second time wasn't any better. He wore a really big pair of torn jeans and a XXXL shirt, which I wasn't sure that shirt was sold in stores. He had a dead rat smell that made anyone near him want to fall down and vomit. He was about 10 feet tall, with a big red eye in the middle of his head. Hello there young hero! Bellowed the Cyclops .I found you just in time for lunch! He said rubbing his belly. He ran toward me, smashing and crushing every pedestrian in his way. I got to take this guy down. Thomas thought. The Cyclops stopped and grabbed a car. He threw it and I quickly dodged it by jumping to my left into the road. Wait how did I do that? I have ADHD, which made me really hyperactive, I act without thinking and also paying attention to any one was really hard, even my friends. Yah maybe that's it, I was hyper and I jumped out of the way randomly. But its different…it was like...an impulse…like I have been trained my whole life. I got to the car and helped the guy out. I can't believe he survived the crash. He was unconscious. I put him aside and turned to the giant. Hey! Leave other people out of this! I yelled. Huh? He looked down. Oh, these mortals have no use for me! He bellowed. I want demigod for lunch! Then he charged.
Ok. I thought. I'm dead. Just then a beam of light appeared above me. Oh great, not only am I going to be eaten by a 10 foot giant and now I'm going blinded by a strange light that just appeared out of nowhere. Yah, how could my day get any worse? But instead of making me blind, 10 seconds later it was gone. I looked up and saw the Cyclops stumble and fall to the ground. Wow,thank you light! Then I saw a gold flash above my head. I caught the golden composite bow. Wait, how did I know it was a composite bow? Anyway I got the bow and there was a note attached to it:
The bow has the power of moon and sun light, pull the string and let go just as if there was an arrow…good luck son…I should say a poem now but I don't have any time.
Your dad Apollo
I think was staring at that note for a while, because 10 minutes the Cyclpos started to stand up. I should have been fired an arrow but there was no arrows any where. Well...I started to run.
