Chapter 139 - Minotaur (1/2)
Grani dug straight down until he was stopped by the Labyrinth's roof which was sturdy enough to withstand his claws as they scr.a.p.ed against it to little effect.
The chalkboard scratching noise made Theoric and the girls wince,- ”Sigyn, tell him to stop.”
Sigyn squeezing past Theoric patted the back of Grani- ”Thank you Grani, we'll take it from here.”
Grani backed off- ”Yes Mistress.”
Selene using her shadow abilities, shifted past everyone as she put her hand down,-”It's magically reinforced, give me a minute.”
Eyes glowing red as she called upon her powers to counteract the magic within,- ”There we go, whoever made this labyrinth didn't put much effort into the roof,” she said as the floor began to crack open.
Dropping 20 feet down they gathered their bearings as Selene checked the wall,- ”As I thought, the walls are made of tougher stuff, it'll probably be faster to just try and clear the labyrinth for now.”
Theoric who held Sigyn on the way down let her get back on her feet as he went over to give the wall a try, throwing a halfway decent punch.
The wall cracked from the impact, but soon healed itself as he backed off,- ”Sturdy stuff, this minotaur may be stronger than I first thought, keep an eye out for it.”
Looking up they could see the roof slowly closing back up.
Selene- ”Before the roof closed I got a strange feeling that we were spotted.”
Theoric- ”Maybe the beast knows we're here?” He asked just as a roar reverberated throughout the place.
Selene- ”So it seems.”
Grani then roared back before turning to Sigyn- ”Don't worry Mistress, I'll protect you.”
Just when Grani was about to answer again, Theoric tired of it had Sigyn stop him causing a grumble knowing it came from Theoric and not his wonderful Mistress. This only made Theoric smirk and then gloat all the more when he received a glare from Grani when another roar came from the enemy claiming victory since he couldn't answer because of that hateful man.
Theoric was fine with Grani being Sigyn's guardian pet, but what ticked him off was how it completely ignored him and waited until Sigyn repeated it.
Selene- ”The treasure map will likely be past the beast and only pinpointing him on noise alone will be difficult with the way it bounces all over.”
Theoric listening gave his best guess,- ”Let's go this way,” he said taking the lead in the direction he thought it was likely from.
Taking Sigyn's hand they began walking through the stone halls, randomly taking turns, listening for the Minotaur.
Selene growing bored tried to grab his other hand only to have it ripped away when he felt her trying to suck his life force and then sticking out her tongue when he gave her a glare.
It wasn't too long before they heard the roars start up again as they drew closer to the beast.
