Odysseus , Hercules , Perseus and Theseus ran through the streets of the village as they chased the Minotaur , the wind grew stronger and the golden sun shone brighter as the Minotaur retreated to it's cave. The Minotaur entered the cave then weaved and turned around the corridors as it made it's way through the labyrinth , "do not let it escape!" Said Theseus as he and the other heroes ran into the cave.
Moments after entering the cave Odysseus , Hercules , Perseus and Theseus stood still and looked around , "the Minotaur could be anywhere in this maze" said Odysseus. "The Princess gave me this ball of silk thread yesterday to help us in and out of this maze" said Theseus as he began to unwind the silk thread , Theseus continued to unwind the silk thread as he and the others entered the labyrinth.
They walked down one path after another as they made their way through the labyrinth , the soft orange glow of torchlight filled the labyrinth as spiders crawled across the walls. We are nearly there" said Theseus as he looked at the ball of silk thread and noticed it had almost run out , moments later they heard the Minotaur roaring close by and began to walk a little faster.
"At last , the center of the labyrinth" said Hercules , "I thought we were going to be stuck in here" said Perseus , "the silk thread has run out" said Theseus.
The heroes gripped their swords firmly and walked towards the opening in the center of the labyrinth , "wait , Hercules and Perseus I want you to guard the path we came from so this beast does not escape" said Odysseus. Hercules and Perseus nodded and moved back towards the path and blocked it , suddenly the Minotaur charged forwards as it pointed it's large sharp horns towards them.
Odysseus and Theseus swiftly moved out of the way just before the Minotaur could impale them with it's horns , the Minotaur charged towards them again but faster this time. Suddenly Odysseus and Theseus's sword's clashed against the Minotaur's pointed horns , Odysseus and Theseus tried to push the Minotaur back but it was to strong , "it is to strong , I must assist them" said Hercules.
"No wait! , I shall assist them Hercules , you are the best man to stop this beast from escaping" said Perseus , moments later Perseus ran towards Odysseus and Theseus and attacked the Minotaur. Perseus swung his sword through the air and landed a blow , The Minotaur roared as Perseus's sword cut it's large muscled arm , blood dripped from the Minotaur's arm as it continued to attack Odysseus and Theseus.
Perseus stood between Odysseus and Theseus and thrust his sword against theirs and pushed the Minotaur backwards , Hercules saw a fallen soldier's shield laying on the ground and picked it up. "Hmm I can use this as a discus!" Said Hercules , a moment later Hercules moved his arm back and forth and said , "move out of the way" , Odysseus Perseus and Theseus quickly moved out of the way and Hercules threw the shield.
The shield flew through the air fast as it headed towards the Minotaur , moments later "CLANG!!" ...the shield smashed into the Minotaur's head. The Minotaur became dizzy and stumbled around as the shield fell to the ground , "Finish the beast!" Shouted Hercules , a moment later Odysseus , Perseus and Theseus attacked the Minotaur and thrust their swords through it's chest and gut.
The Minotaur roared as their swords impaled it's body and then fell to it's knees , Odysseus and Perseus pulled out their swords and moved back towards Hercules. "I shall end this beast" said Theseus as he pulled his sword out of the Minotaur and lifted it higher , seconds later Theseus swung his sword through the air and cut off the Minotaur's head , the head fell from it's shoulders and landed on the floor.
The Minotaur's severed head rolled across the floor as Theseus turned around and walked away towards the others , "he shall not be harming anyone ever again" said Theseus as blood dripped from his sword. "Let us leave this place" said Hercules , a few moments later Odysseus , Hercules , Perseus and Theseus followed the trail of silk thread towards the exit.
Eventually the heroes had found themselves at the exit of the labyrinth and walked out of the cave , the sun shone bright as the strong cool wind brushed against their skin. "Thank you my friends" said Theseus , "we are happy we could assist you" said Perseus , "maybe you would like to join us on our odyssey?" Said Odysseus , "hmm it sounds interesting but I shall stay here and help the village" said Theseus.
"Very well Theseus , then we must be on our way" said Odysseus , a few minutes later Odysseus , Hercules and Perseus said goodbye to Theseus and walked back to the ship. They walked through the streets and down the hill towards the beach , "let us see what lies ahead on our journey" said Hercules as they boarded the ship , "ok men let us sail onwards" said Odysseus as his crew lifted the anchor and rowed the ship towards the northwest.
