Perseus

and Medusa


By Efthalia



A very long time ago,I was challenged to slay a gorgon called Medusa by a meanful - looking,disgraceful King,King Polydectes.I slowly walked down the long,curvy street wondering how to defeat such a dangerous foe.I had reached the dark,damp green forest .A few minutes later,I aproached the middle of the forest and I could see a flick of light up ahead-firelight .Suddenly one of the witches sprang up,knocking a nother. Three wrinkled old crones sat around a bubbling couldren .I felt nervous and worried about King Polydectes and my mum. I also felt very discusted when I saw the grey sisters /witches because they were old,wrinkly and scary. That was the only time I actually saw their eye sockets,dark and dead inside!



Everything felt like a big blur, it was like I was running like lightning and when I looked down to where I was stepping, I realised that I was!As I crossed an old, dusty road, I found a fine-looking helmet and a pair of cool flying shoes.
