Minotaur/Asterion

Intro The greek Gods were always strange. Powerful, mighty, always the best at everything. The Gods exist so that mortals always have someone they can look up to and won't get arrogant. King Minos was unloved by his people. To show that the Gods are on his side, Minos prayed to Posidon, the God of the Sea "Oh Posidon. Send me a mighty bull to show my people you are on my side. I'll sacrifice the bull on your altar later" and Posidon gave him a beautiful and strong bull with white fur but Minos loved the bull so much, he kept the mighty white bull and sacrificed a different one instead. And Posidon was angry. And he went to Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty and said "Look, the wife of king Minos tells everyone she's more beautiful than you are. Punish her for her arrogance. Make her have the most disgusting love possible. The king has a white bull who he loves more than anything else in the world. Make the queen love the bull as well" and mad about the mortal who claimed to be more beautiful than her Aphrodite did. And a few months later, a monster was born. The Minotaur, named Asterion after the stepfather of King Minos. A child ment as punishment for his parents. From the shoulders down a human, from the shoulders up a bull. And king Minos, mad about the Gods betrayal and his wife's unfaithfulness, threw the Minotaur in the dungeons and any time a poor soul gets punished they get thrown in the dungeons and killed by the Minotaur who was raised to be violent and untrusting of everyone. But the king has a second child, an intelligent child, and that is you. Will the bond between siblings be able to soothe Asterion's mad soul? ->> creator note: the story of the Minotaur is longer and more complicated than this.
