Chapter 139 - Minotaur (2/2)

Theoric- ”He sounds close now, get ready.”

Selene yawned- ”You don't really expect it to be a challenge do you?”

Theoric- ”You should never underestimate anyone, this is his home and the labyrinth was made specifically for him, there's no telling what he could do with it or if he's attuned to it at all.”

Selene rolled her eyes, worries such as death were almost none existent for her. She couldn't understand his mortal fear, not to mention it was a real turn-off to hear.- ”Does he always act this way?” She asked Sigyn.

Theoric answered in her stead,- ”Only when people I care about are around, I don't want anyone getting hurt.”

Selene fluttered her eyes playfully- ”Does that include me?”

Theoric glanced at her,- ”Maybe in time, I still don't fully trust you yet.”

Selene scoffed- ”If you're mad about losing a little life force, I'm sure you'll get over it, I'm always here with an offer to turn you so you no longer fear such things.”

Theoric- ”From what I could tell last night, I'm pretty sure I'm immune.”

Selene not surprised simply said,- ”Is that so, no matter, what I've taken is a drop in the Ocean, and with your healing abilities I think you'll be fine,” she said trying to play it off as no big deal, still very interested in having more.

Sigyn worriedly looked at Theoric- ”Theo, she fed on you? Are you going to be okay?”

Theoric reached over to stroke her head with a grin,- ”I'll be fine, like she said it was a drop in the ocean, but I'll be sure not to give too many in the future.”

Selene's eyes lit up hearing about the future but dimmed when she realized it wasn't going to be that easy.

Sigyn didn't know how to feel about Selene after hearing that, at first she was all for the pale smooth-skinned beauty, but if she was going to be hurting Theo and possibly herself and the others, maybe it was best if she wasn't around.

Just as she was about to further address it, they heard the hoof falls and heavy breath of the Minotaur as they rounded the corner, laying eyes upon the 12 foot tall bull-headed creature for the first time as it glared at them at the other end of the long hallway.

Spotting them it gave a monstrous roar as it charged with horns lowered, hooves shaking the ground with every stomp.

Grani seeing his chance stepped forward to engage it as Theoric pulled Sigyn to the side, allowing them to go at it.

Not wishing to waste time, he turned to the wall and swung as hard as he could, blasting a hole in the wall as he stepped through pulling Sigyn along so they could go around.

Sigyn complained- ”Theo, we can't just leave Grani, what if he needs healing?”

Theoric- ”Grani will be fine, don't forget he's not even at full height, plus he wanted this fight so let him have it while we go collect the map, it shouldn't be far now, hurry before the wall closes.”
