Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters Page #5

"Cursed blade shall reap."

What good is a prophecy

if you can't even understand it?

I guess you don't have

any answers either, Dad.

This was your sword.

This is a bad idea.

You don't even know

what I was gonna say.

You were going to say that you're

going after the Fleece to save the camp.

Actually, he was gonna say "we" were.

Look, I get what you're doing here.

You're worried about

the one-quest wonder thing...

and you want to make your bones.

But lchneutae and Clarisse

are already going after the Fleece...

and it's not cool to bogart

on someone else's quest.

I think this is my quest, too.

The Oracle says

he wrestles Luke for the Fleece.

"Grapples." But she also said...

that I'm destined to destroy Olympus,

or save it.

Saving is better, obviously.

Yeah.

Let me pack a bag and make sure

my health insurance is paid up.

How are we gonna get past them?

I think they're looking

for threats trying to come in...

not people trying to sneak out...

so, I think we're cool

as long as we stay quiet.

Sorry!

We're...

We're guarding, too.

You left without me.

Tyson, where we're going,

it's very dangerous.

I know. I'm not stupid.

No,just dumb.

I want to help.

You'd do it for me.

I appreciate that...

but I don't think you understand

exactly how dangerous this is going to be.

I do.

The Fleece is guarded by Polyphemus.

Who?

Polyphemus.

Closest thing Cyclopes

have got to someone famous.

Captured Odysseus. Lives in Circeland.

Wait, Circeland?

Built on his island.

Long story.

Point is, maybe I can talk to him.

You know, Cyclops to Cyclops.

No, you can't,

because I'm not going with a Cyclops.

Then we got a problem,

because I'm not going without one.

This Polyphemus is probably what killed

every satyr that's gone near the Fleece.

You want me to lead you to a Cyclops?

Fine.

But I'm bringing along one of my own,

for protection.

No way.

No.

What do you think's

gonna attract more attention...

all the noise or the one eye?

Just give the guy a break, okay?

Okay, fine.

Keep it down.

This is crazy hard to come by...

and I only brought it along

in case of an emergency...

which I guess this is an emergency,

so... here.

Mist?

It makes the mystical look normal.

"Side effects may include handsomeness,

headache, self-esteem

and low self-esteem."

And just know

that if the camp wasn't in danger...

I wouldn't be wasting this on you.

Wasting what?

It's not gonna last forever.

You're gonna have to reapply it.

Extreme makeover alert.

How do I look?

A bit like Dad, actually.

He's still a Cyclops.

Grover, where are we going?

What does your nose say?

Somewhere off the coast of Florida.
