The blinded Cyclops roared once again, his massive frame trembling as he lashed out in vain.
❝WHO SPEAKS?❞ he thundered. ❝WHO DARES CLAIM THIS DEED?!❞
Penelope's voice did not falter; if anything it grew stronger.
❝I am the daughter of Icarius!❞ she declared. ❝Born of Sparta's blood and fire. Now I am Queen of Ithaca, favored by Ares himself!❞
Your eyes widened as she continued—heedless of the Cyclops's growing wrath.
❝It was I who struck your sight.
It was I who guided my crew to defy you.
I am the one who bested you!❞
Her grip on the railing tightened as the ship sailed further away, her defiance a blazing fire that refused to be extinguished.
Polyphemus roared again, his bellow of rage reverberating across the sea as it held a note of humiliation.
He slammed his fists into the earth, the ground shaking as cracks spiderwebbed beneath him.
But Penelope wasn't finished.
❝Remember this Polyphemus!❞ she shouted, her voice rising to a crescendo, cutting through the wind and waves. ❝The next time you seek to challenge the will of Ithaca...
Remember the fallen—the brave souls who paid with their lives.
Remember their sacrifice. Their courage.
Remember us.
Remember my name!❞
The Cyclops staggered as he clawed uselessly at the empty air. ❝YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS!❞ His voice cracked with rage. ❝YOU WILL PAY WITH YOUR LIFE!❞
Penelope's voice rose above his—cutting through the chaos like the call of a war horn.
❝Remember me Polyphemus!❞ she shouted, her voice fierce and unwavering. ❝For I am your darkest moment! Not just as a Queen, but as your reckoning. I am...
PENELOPE!❞

If you came from my Vespertilio BNHA or Traveler Multi-Fandom, welcome back! If not, that means I'm at least doing sum right and gaining reads🤧
Not gonna do a whole ass speech, we all know the basic things. But to make sure, the most important things I wanna emphasis on will be bolded so you cant say I didn't warn ya:
1) Plagiarism is a HELLA big no no. Takes a lot of time and energy to even to write out a whole completed chapter other than half-assed drafts. If I find out you stealing without credit: I'm blocking and reporting until your account is taken down.
2) This story will contain violence, dark humor, and possibly other mature themes
3) I may skip over certain parts of the musical or diverge the plot (as if i hadn't already did so far lol) because I don't wanna follow every part single thing
4) Canon characters may/will be slight ooc, but will maintain their overall personality
5) I may also end up making the book an "in-between arc" type of story if I either get too lazy or don't know how to end it lol
6) HEADS UP: in this AU I am following Margaret Atwood's concept in which Penelope's father attempted to kill her.
7) I live a life outside of AO3, so please don't be commenting "update update!" That shit is rude and disrespectful and I don't like pressure; it can honestly take the fun out of writing.
Anyways that all I've got. Hope you guys enjoy!❤️☺️
