The Minotaur...
Then, out of the darkness, a creature lunged at him.
It was massive, and its hulking form made Adrian look like a dwarf as it charged toward him. The creature's body was covered in matted fur, and its muscles rippled beneath its thick hide. Its head was that of a bull, with sharp horns that curved menacingly from its skull.
"The Minotaur," Adrian whispered as he stared at it, charging towards him.
The Minotaur's eyes burned with a fierce, unholy light, and its mouth was twisted into a snarl, revealing rows of sharp, yellowed teeth.
Adrian barely had time to react.
He threw himself to the side, narrowly avoiding the Minotaur's horns as it charged past him. The creature skidded to a halt, its hooves digging deep grooves into the stone floor. It turned with a speed that belied its massive size, its eyes locking onto Adrian with a predatory gaze.
