Of Prodigals and Pomegranates

This is the tale of a foolish mortal, a Minotaur, and some messy mutilated fruits.

Vasilis is a young man of great stature and wealth who suffers from the most terrible of ailments. Heartbroken by the rejection of his declaration of love, he ventures into the bowels of the underworld in search of the one object that can change his fate.

Enraging the lord of the damned by setting his fingertips upon Lady Persephone's pomegranates, Vasilis steals away his thread of life in a desperate attempt at saving his soul from the relentless Hades. He flees to the shores of Crete and the legendary Labyrinth, seeking the safety of its shadows for protection.

Mere moments after he arrives, thunderous footsteps cascade through the structure and bring forth the arrival of the Minotaur. Drawn in by the succulent and seductive notes of the pomegranate, the beast greets him.

"You are far from home, little mortal."
