Aaron & The Minotaur

Once there was a boy who was living in a ghastly labyrinth. His name was Aaron, and he hated his house because it was so dark.

His father was the deadly Minotaur, his mother was a beautiful woman called Themis, the goddess of law and order. She did not know her husband was a monstrous creature that had tried to kill the race of children.

They were living in a labyrinth deep under the city of Olympian’s.
Zeus was the king of all gods and he was married to his 50th wife, Leto, and she was giving birth to Apollo, the god of the sun, arts, and medicine.

Usually Themis was outraged when he had another wife. She had once been married to Zeus, but after the marriage had broken up, she went down low, finally marrying the Minotaur.
Aaron also had not known he was trapped in the labyrinth, to later be devoured by his father. He did not know that his father was a monster trying to destroy the woman and child race.

It is here we begin our story.
Aaron was walking past his father’s secret study when he heard a loud groan.

He peeked his head in the slightly opened door, and what he saw was startling. His so-called father was turning into a Minotaur! His “father” had morphed into a bull with a human body over 8 feet tall! He saw his father turn around to look at the door, so he poked his head out and started to walk to his room.

I must escape immediately! he thought wildly. So he thought of a plan, to be done at the stroke of midnight. Because he knew now, his father was the most feared monster in the Olympian city: The Minotaur.
He yawned and almost fell asleep before he remembered, “ Minotaur… father...bull head m...en body… OH!” He remembered. He quietly put on some clothes and grabbed a bag he had packed earlier.

He ran to the head of the labyrinth and had almost escaped when he tripped on a big lump. He looked closely at it and found it was the deadly Minotaur who had called himself his father. The Minotaur jumped up and said he thought Aaron would try to escape after seeing the deathly body.

Then, without a word more, he devoured his son. Yes, ate him. Killed him. Earlier he had eaten his wife. It was just the beginning of his monstrous acts. For he was not finished. 

So sadly, Aaron did not escape.

    The mist surrounds me.

    The wind is howling just like a wolf wood at the moon.

    Flapping,

    Fluttering,

    Flying through the air,

    The warm breeze flowing through my feathers,

    I see buds on the trees,
