Now that I am safe on the island of Aeaea, I will explain the events that succeeded my last entry. It turns out that I didn't need to investigate the source of the thunderous noise after all; it was investigating me! Shortly after setting my journal down and standing up, there was a gigantic crushing sound, and something bounded at me through the trees. It emerged at my makeshift camp, and I couldn't believe my eyes: it was a giant, human-like creature with only one huge eye in the center of its face. This was, without a doubt, the Cyclops of legend. It stood about thirty feet tall, with enormous, muscular limbs. And it was angry.
"YOU!!" The Cyclops roared, pointing a big finger at me. "YOU TOOK MY SHEEP! JUST LIKE NO-ONE! I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE!"
And the Cyclops charged. I had no idea what to do, but at last my natural instinct kicked me out of my stunned amazement. I ran out of the way and hid among the trees. The Cyclops stopped mid-charge and looked around, searching for me. I was not an expert at stealth, but my skills were sufficient. Also, the Cyclops was apparently very good at smashing things, as he proved when he charged through the forest without injury, but not very good at finding things, especially things that were well-hidden from him. Having only ene eye was apparently a major drawback.
"YOU'RE TRYING TO HIDE NOW? NO-ONE HIDES FROM ME!" The Cyclops went beserk, tearing trees from the ground and hurling them, digging through the surrounding forest in an attempt to find me. I knew that I should've used this chaos to make my escape, but I also needed evidence for my dossier to M. I pulled out a digital camera, and took a few shots of the Cyclops. He heard the small noise (apparently his hearing was better than his sight) and started looking in my direction. I immediately back-tracked all the way to where my ship still stood, making sure to bring my camera and journal. I heard the Cyclops screaming with rage from deep within the forest, but it was too late for him now. I quickly disembarked, taking a small amount of island fruit with me. The new fruit was useful, but would not last me very long. I needed to find another plentiful island with more hospitable inhabitants.
