So, me, Odysseus, and Polities are going to the island he found. Personally, I have no idea why they brought me along besides for my strength.
We were searching around for some light that they supposedly saw but right now Polites is pushing his luck with the captain. Oh no.
As I was walking behind them and hearing Polites sing about giving and mercy... I don't know about that, then Polites dropped Odysseus's sword in the river going down... So, his genius idea was grabbing me and Odysseus and jumping off into the river that's quickly turning into a waterfall, and that's where we are now.
"POLITES!!!! I'M GOING TO KILL YOU AFTER THIS!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs potentially making Odysseus's ear's bleed though Polites only did a cheap smile in response to my outrage.
And then for shits and giggles he continues singing and there's music, HOW?! I don't remember this happening in my history class... I'm not going question this geek magic, yes, I'm calling him a geek although he's pretty stronk compared to the average man compared to some of the soldiers he's scrawny.
When we eventually survived the fall down with me and Odysseus taking very little damage, Odysseus seems stronger than most of his soldiers I don't think anyone of them can beat him in a 1v1 fight.

(Time skip to where they find the lotus eaters)
Oh my GOD! Their so cute! I'm definitely going to be kidn-adopting one, I can plant some lotuses at my home and if there's any more types of these cuties, I'll collect them like I'm Ash.
My genius plan? Instead of listening to anything Odysseus or Polites I grabbed some lotuses and convinced them to follow me into the bushes and teleported while grabbing them. I came back to grab more of them hopefully getting their family members, though it was probably high since the bigger ones following them.
So, I got about 10 little lotus eaters and a butt load of lotuses, I then begin to plant some of them, so I don't have to come back to this mystical island. Fun fact, they grow on lily pads where I just dumped them into a little pond with vegetation near the ancient ruins for the final level.
I get back and am met with this, "Rikkusus, Polites found an area where food is, let's go." Odysseus says to me while he has a lotus eater on his head with a couple lotuses in their hands, see I'm not crazy kidnapping random animals.
"Ody, I thought you said that you don't find them adorable?" Polites points at the lotus eater Odysseus has on his head, "Polites, my friend, I don't care." Odysseus bluntly responds, never knew he was this chill.
When Polites found an apple and tossed it at Odysseus he grabbed it and then froze and immediately dropped it like he was possessed and then unpossessed. Shit was actually freaky man, I'm just a 15-year-old boy with brown hair, and a really bad haircut worse than Atreus.
Though I have practically god powers I'm not trying deal with ghosts and that kind of stuff, though I'd probably win.
Continuing on our walk to the boat we had a hard time trying to navigate this horribly jungle, how did the lotus eaters survive? Are they too cute for animals to eat them?
When we get to the ship, I have a conversation with one of the crew mates. He's talking about finding out my godly parent, or something like that.
Do, gods exist in this world I mean the lotus eaters could just be an undiscovered species or extinct in my timeline

"You killed my favorite sheep." That was the worst thing I could possibly hear in my entire life, especially from a damn demon cyclops, I read Greek books this guy is built different.
A giant cyclops with one eye, his legs of a goat or horse, his entire face is his mouth, horns on top of his damn head, and worst of all the offenders he smells worse than the locker room. (This is the cyclops from animater mircsy, go watch da animation it looks like it crawled straight from hell.)
"What gives you the right to deal a pain so deep?" The cyclops continued, Eurylochus and Polites are either praying or attempting to poorly hide the sheep. We're so fucked!
I start getting on my knees and start praying to any god I remember from my memories; Odysseus attempts to reasons with it until he says the one fucking thing that might have caused us to die.
"I'm so glad we could see eye to eye." Odysseus says voice shaky and then in return for this obvious insult he says that he's the last guy to die... I'm making sure he dies first.
We charge at him and the captain begins singing a motivational speech, this seemed to work surprisingly well as the men start charging towards the demon with me staying ahead of them while not even thinking, I pull out my two swords and I start climbing his body using them.
It screams a guttural scream-or really a screech, I continue to climb it until I'm on its shoulders, I begin slashing and stabbing at it full force, even tore off some of its flesh but quickly getting yeeted by off it by getting grabbed and slammed into the ground.
Why, in god's name does this cyclops have finisher moves? And then it looks like some sea demon... I'm getting tired already.
3rd person Narrating time
As the soldiers witness Rick get slammed hard enough into the ground to explode and then survive the impact, they really start to wonder if he's some divine blessing by the gods to save them. Odysseus starts shouting his orders to the soldier whether to slice at the cyclops' heels, throw spears and pierce it, or keep running around it in circles to disorient it and stay out of reach.
Sadly, this happens for a total of 2 and a half minutes, the cause is the fact that the cyclops grabs his club. His screams drop the cave's speleothems (stalagmites) and he begins singing about how he's going to take 600 lives. (Go watch the damn musical already)
Finally recovering and grabbing his blades he attempts to charge at the cyclops before stopping in his tracks as he witnesses something... His friend, Polites, crushed under the weight of the club swung by a ruthless demon.
Upon seeing this sight, he closes his eyes and falls over.
