They reached the remains of the village near the shore. Polyphemos hid again.
Polyphemos:Bad men! Hate Polyphemos!
In the ruins, a group of bandits had made their camp. To put Polyphemos' mind at ease, Kassandra dealt with the bandits. The way to the shore was finally clear.
Kassandra:There, big guy. The beach is yours now, to fish all you want.
Polyphemos smiled brightly, and sat down on the rocks, enjoying the view for a moment. Then he turned to Kassandra.
Polyphemos:Little think beach pretty?
Kassandra:Depends on who's looking at it, but sure. I think it's pretty.
Polyphemos:But still need friend to share. Polyphemos like poetry. Can practice with you. Tell Polyphemos what make Little, Little.
Kassandra:I have the strength of ten warriors. I could lift a whole mountain above my head.
Polyphemos:Strong like Polyphemos! Careful not to crush small things. What else?
Kassandra:Well, I have eyes. They're nice, I guess.
Polyphemos:Polyphemos know lady with pretty green eyes. She nice. What else?
Kassandra:Nothing makes me happier than celebrating. Drinking and singing are good for the spirit.
Polyphemos:With friend! Polyphemos love to sing. More?
Kassandra:There's no better feeling in the world than crushing a skull with my fist.
Polyphemos:Little scary. Polyphemos does not hurt. Never again. More?
Kassandra:I wish I could be with my family. The last time I was happy, I was a young girl. I miss those days. I don't know why I'm telling you this. You're a good listener, big guy.
Kassandra:I've never been able to rely on anyone the way I can rely on Barnabas and our crew. I wish my work didn't take me away from them.
Polyphemos finished what he was writing and stood up.
Polyphemos:Little hurt inside. Like Polyphemos. For you.
He handed her the parchment.
Kassandra:This is beautiful, big guy.
Polyphemos dug out something else.
Polyphemos:More gift for Little. Spices from pretty green-eye lady. Only gift Polyphemos ever got.
Kassandra:This might be exactly what I was looking for. So, you have a beach to go fishing...
Polyphemos:Only need friend.
Kassandra:Little think beach ugly. And Little think you ugly.
Polyphemos' face fell, and he stood up.
Polyphemos:You trick Polyphemos! No hurt! Please, no hurt!
Despite fighting Kassandra, Polyphemos continued pleading.
Polyphemos:Please no hurt! Please!
Kassandra slew him, finding a bag of spices on him.
Kassandra:A bag of spice. Where would he get these? I should tell Barnabas.
Kassandra:Eurylochos, this is Polyphemos. Polyphemos, Eurylochos.
Polyphemos regarded Eurylochos.
Polyphemos:Show you cave?
Eurylochos:Show me everything, my big friend. This is the grandest, most spectacular shore on which I've ever laid my weary eyes. I want to see it all!
As Eurylochos went to admire the shore, Polyphemos addressed Kassandra.
Polyphemos:You Little. But big heart. Take this. Special gift.
(Epic grade Scaled Gauntlets received.)
Polyphemos and Eurylochos smiled at each other, and set about fishing.
(Else)
Kassandra:I can't stay here, big guy. But if I ever meet someone who loves fishing and poetry as much as you do, I'll send them your way.
Kassandra returned to the Adrestia and eager Barnabas.
Barnabas:About my Leda, do you have any news?
("I found the "cyclops'" spices.")
Kassandra:In the cave, I found a man. I took these spices from him.
Barnabas:Ah, my Leda. Do you think the man you found was a cyclops, then she concocted an elixir from these spices and helped him to grow a second eye?
Kassandra:Barnabas, there was no cyclops on Anaphi any more than there was one on Kephallonia.
Barnabas:Have faith, my friend. Leda was there.
Kassandra:That's exactly what happened. Leda saved the cyclops' life with magic spices.
Barnabas:She did. We should be careful not to use these spices. Who knows how many eyes we'd grow?
Barnabas took the spices.
