A/N: I had to choose three classic books for my English Honors class and the one I chose was a book called The Iliad written by some guy named Homer. When I finally reached chapter four, I was all like, "Holy shiet, they talk too much". Then when I got to the fighting parts, I was all like, "Whoever's narrating should stop giving the cannon fodder's(which means useless or expendable guys) biography to me because I can't even remember something that pointless like that in my head. Reading this book however, made me think about what I knew about the Greeks. I thought about the minotaur and his sad death by Theseus and got inspired to give the poor guy a story where he actually lives because of a bored girl reading The Iliad that I sent into the past inside the labyrinth and meeting the guy before his death so the new girl can change his fate. I don't own anything. Now that I think about it, who owns the mythology section?
Sonia Poventus was laying on the family couch reading a book called The Iliad. She was like any regular Jr. year high school student: slightly tanned skin, 16 years old, dark hair, still a virgin, straight A student, had a little frail body, and most importantly, doesn't smoke or do drugs. She never even had a beer or any drink that had any alcohol in it. The one thing that made her different from all the students from her school was the fact that she hadn't found a boyfriend yet. Sure, someone can say that she was pretty, but that someone hadn't found any interest in her but Sonia didn't care. She thought that all guys were monsters ever since she protected a little girl from three male bullies that were twice her size in her freshman year. Luckily, the police arrived before she could stab one of the bullies in the heart.
With a frustrated sigh, she put down the book and told the ceiling, "This is the most boring book in my entire life". Now Sonia loved reading. In fact, she won many competitions in the past that involved reading and a saying like that to a book would have surprised anyone.
"I know right. I hated that book too. And I love reading!", said the voice of me, someyoungguy 1243, that seemed to come from everywhere in the room.
Sonia Poventus bolted upright on the couch looking for the source of the voice. "Who's there?!", she demanded. Luckily her parents went out with her annoying six year old brother to some kind of baby shower that she had no interest in.
"Okay who the hell are you and how did you know where my parents are?", she asked me.
"Whatever do you mean?", I responded.
She folded her arms. "Just cut to the crap already. What do you want from me?".
"Do you like Greek mythology?", I asked her.
"Just stop with the, 'she said' and the, 'I said' and yes I like Greek mythology, or at least I used to when I read The Iliad".
"I have a better idea than just reading boring books about the Greek. How about actually seeing Greek stuff in the past?"
"I guess that could be fun. So are we going to a museum or something?"
Her question wasn't answer edas silenced filled the air.
"Seriously dude, stop narrating".
Quickly, I muted myself from the story.
Sonia pointed a finger in the air and shouted, "I can still hear you talking asshole!".
No response came.
"Hey if I can't hear you, what am I suppose to to now?".
As if on cue, a floating wooden bat appeared in front of the surprised; slamming into her head. She fainted on the floor as a bright light swept her away from the room.
(Scene Change)
Groaning in pain, Sonia got up from the dirt ground and checked her surroundings. There were giant stone walls leading through corners and what not. Despite that, it was pretty roomy where she stood.
When she was done looking around, Sonia did the dumbest move in history that anyone could ever do when you're in a strange dark menacing labyrinth with a minotaur in it. Out loud with her voice echoing off the walls she said, "Anyone here?".
Then suddenly to her left, a giant black hoof stepped out, making a loud tap in the quiet space. Then another hoof. Then the giant hulking form of the minotaur appeared before the young girl.
With muscles bulging under the black fur that surrounded his huge body, he asked with a deep voice, "What are you doing here human girl? The next sacrifice isn't happening for three more years". He eyed her curiously, wondering if the human would grab the rusty sword near her feet.
To his surprise, the human stepped up to him and put her hand under her chin to look as if she was inspecting him.
In Sonia's eyes she saw a bipedal half man half bull standing in front of her. Everything about him was broad and muscular with fur poorly trying to cover his well built body. His head was the head of a bull; snout and everything. There was also a big brown dirty cloth that covered his privates. Most boys and teachers were taller than Sonia. However, this bull man was way taller than them. Way way taller. Way way WAY taller. His large white curved horns on his head didn't scare Sonia. Instead, she somehow found them attractive.
Taking a braver step towards him, Sonia held out her hand. "Hi there. My name is Sonia Poventus. What's yours?".
A/N: I don't think the Greeks knew how to speak English back then. If they didn't let's pretend they knew how in this story. Review!
