Yipee! I'm pretty sure this chapter will get me to a beta reader profile! 6000 words!
Okay. I'll get on with the story if you want me to.
Just then, cyclops #1 entered the room.
The door closed behind him, and he whirled around, swinging his arm to hit whatever was there.
All he hit was air.
The voice came again, from across the room.
"Why do you defy my father, cyclops?"
The cyclops sneered, turning to face the voice.
"You think you are an only child, Perseus? You think wrong. You aren't the only child of your father, brother." He said the word brother with contempt, as if he was ashamed to be siblings with Percy.
Percy stepped out of the shadows.
"I've known for a long time that I am not an only child, cyclops. I'm just the only one of my kind. I am also not ashamed to be the brother of the cyclopes. I am simply ashamed of what some of them have done. Like join Kronos' Minions."
The cyclops hissed, charging at Percy.
Percy simply stepped aside.
"You'll have to do better than that if you plan to kill me, brother."
Penny was utterly shocked.
How did Percy take having a cyclops for a brother so smoothly? It was like if Cassie found out she was somehow related to Cassandra from the Iliad.
She watched the fight from her place in the corner. Percy was winning. It seemed impossible, but it was true.
Then cyclops #1 got a lucky blow. It sent Percy tumbling backwards into Penny. She bit back a scream as he rolled into her leg.
Percy began to get up, but cyclops #2 swung his mace towards him. As he rolled out of the way, Penny felt the rush of air as the mace swung past her leg.
Then the cyclops seemed to notice her.
He paused, looking at her, then swung his mace up in the air as if he was about to hit her with it. He kept it up, ready to drop it at any moment.
"Don't make another move or I'll smash her to smithereens!" He threatened.
Percy froze.
When he finally seemed to realize what the cyclops was threatening, he said what was probably the most dangerous thing possible.
"I'm surprised you even know what that word means."
The cyclops roared at that comment, and swung the mace.
I love leaving you at cliffhangers! I just love it!
What do you think of my fight scene? I'm surprised it turned out this well.
Please review!
