How long had she been running this maze? The obvious answer is longer than her patience– perhaps with her sense of direction and general stubbornness, this was not a task she should have taken. Yet here was the goddess anyhow; tired, aching, and most importantly, engulfed with fury.
For the beast she sees in front of her now, this is a circumstance steeped in rotten luck. Already is her blade in hand, a white-knuckled death-grip only tightening further on the hilt, the tip now thrust in it’s direction. Someone has to pay for her woes, after all.
“ You! Big, stupid asshole! I’ve been down here for fuck knows how long, my feet hurt like hell, I’m tired, I’m hungry, and instead of some great treasure I was supposed to find, all I found is you! What the hell are you supposed to be, anyways?! Apparently there was a minotaur down here, but you aren’t nearly ugly enough to be one! “
OUTSIDERS THAT BREATHE AIR SO FREE, TO wonder into his domain, the labyrinth built of disgust filled stone after shameful brick, whatever FOOLISH REASON they have resting atop their tongues to release at a moments notice in hopes of mercy being shown. trespassers who enter, judgement && senses absent from their mind, become lost ; they fall to the walls coated in the deceased, the madness that overtakes their mind, && the relentless BEAST who walks it.
she speaks of treasure ( what of value could reside down in the depths of hell but the wailing of sorrow && pain? ). she speaks of the minotaur ( who stands before her now, yet she does not falter ; she stands ready && with anger that matches his own, unrealized he is who she’s heard of. 0
STILL, she is what they all are. trespassers, sacrifices, a source of nutrition. he loathes the thoughts which plague his monstrous mind, but has fallen at their feet before. the mask on his face lifts with his head, metal bent && fashioned to resemble that of a bulls head. his halberds are kept in his hands, arms at his side, as finally he speaks.
“ there ... is nothing.. here. “ kill her, it screams, but he does not yet. she shows no fear, && for that, he waits. if she is to launch an attack, he will deliver his own.
