She turned in an instant heading down the street which led towards the huge grassy meadow opposite the city. He smashed his hooves harder in to the ground pulling his huge black horns up as he carried on moving after her. “No little girl is going to steal from me and get away with it!” He rose up his huge axe higher as he ran out of the street following her. Gabrielle ran in to the huge meadow she was going to get away! She was going to make it! The next moment turned to pain as she tripped over something. She felt the pain as she slammed in to the ground on her front which caused her to cry out in pain. She turned over but it was already too late and she knew it.

The huge black hoofs smashed in to the ground on ether side off her body sending the bones of what she’d tripped over upwards. They came down clattering all around her. The huge Minotaur’s flowing dusty red and white hanging cloth moved sharply as he put a hand on his huge thick black belt with its metal notches. Seleukos eyed the girl as he leaned closer to her snorting which caused her hair to be blown back. “Unless you want to die you’ll give me back what’s rightfully mine, right now!” Gabrielle swallowed as she looked up oh gods this was not how this was meant to happen. She watched as his grey eyes narrowed she breathed trying to keep her voice steady. “The chalice of Midas doesn’t belong to you.”

Seleukos grunted in disgust as he raised his hands kneeling down over her. “What does it take to make you humans understand that I found it? It was in a cave and I stumbled across it!” Gabrielle pulled back as his huge nose came close to her face. “I heard you killed and eat someone then took it from them.” She swallowed. “That’s what I heard…I mean people say all kinds of things…you know how it is.” Seleukos roared at her watching as she began to shiver, she was brave but not brave enough. “I don’t eat people you stupid child why would I eat people, when I can eat sheep and goats, which I can purchase for three dinars a piece!?” Gabrielle looked in to his face seeing the huge chest and arm muscles under the thick fur ripple. “You just threatened to eat me!”
