The Sacrifice of Minotaur

The Sacrifice of Minotaur: Story from The Chosen Ones Perspective

I was a lone wanderer. As I rode my horse through the hills and valleys, I stumbled upon a mansion. This mansion had been cleared and restored by a fellow explorer by the name of Beefy. Outside of Beefys enormous mansion, I noticed a herd of cows surrounding a monument. The monument was a spectacular statue of a cow. Who built it? Why was it there? Me and Beefy had questions but we noticed that by removing stones, one by one from this statue, more and more bovine began to gather. Once the statue was cleared out, there was a new herd surrounding us.

As we discussed what to do with this herd, Beefy and I heard an ominous voice from the heavens. This voice never told us who they were but their message was clear, "Sacrifice in the name of Dave". We were stunned, shocked, and all around in awe to be in the presence of such a powerful being. Though we could not confirm which God we spoke with, we knew what we had to do.

The anonymous voice told us "Sacrifice 10 thousand cows in the volcano in the name of Dave by days end or be banned and banished from the land". Ten thousand cows?! How could we possibly do that?! So, I barter. "What about a stack of beef?" After a long pause, the anonymous voice told us "I will settle for one sacrificial cow." Me and Beefy were on a mission, we had to move this last remaining cow (we had slain all of his kin to prepare our steak supplies) to the peak of the volcano. I knew how to get to the base of the volcano but Beefy, good ol Beefy, lead the charge up the side of this monstrous mountain. Beefy cleared a path for me and this sacrificial bovine to make our way to the huge mouth at the peak with a lake of lava.

Once at the top, Beefy built the Sacrifice platform. I lead the cow, who has now been name Minotaur, to the edge of the platform. We were told this was "in the name of Dave" so we began to chant. Dave, Dave, PRAISE DAVE \O/ !

I pushed poor, yet brave Minotaur into the lava. Beefy and I celebrated our sacrifice. As I jumped in the air, a bolt of lightning struck me! I did not die, I did not take damage, I did not lose hunger. Out of it all, it was the lightning bolt that has given me the biggest question. Why? Why me? Why lightning? What will change? Who am I now? What will be next for me?
