Minotaur's Curse

By: Jones, Arla

For Minotaur, a creature cursed by malignant magic, the prophecy promised only a cruel choice. Salvation and destruction were bound to the same truth, and both wore the face of Pasiphae's infant child-the one he had never held, the one destined to end him.

He lived in darkness beneath the palace, where stone remembered screams and time lost its meaning. The labyrinth did not satisfy him. Hunger did. King Minos fed that hunger with the defeated Athenian youths sent as tribute after the war. Their bodies were offerings, their deaths a warning.

But Athens grew weary of sending its children to die.

So this time, they sent soldiers.

Among them was Theseus-young, beautiful, and ruthless in his resolve. Above the labyrinth, he charmed the king's daughter, a girl born of betrayal and silence. She did not know the truth of her blood, only that the monster below must die.

She gave Theseus a way through the darkness.
And he gave the Minotaur an end.

This is not the story of a hero's victory.
It is the story of a man who loved, endured, and was finally slain by his own blood.
