Chapter Twenty-Five
I don’t know how long I’ve been asleep. I could hear them whispering, opting not to open my eyes. “We should wake him up.” Demoleon whispered. “No, we should let him rest. His body needs rest.” Andromache argued. “His body also needs nourishment. He needs to eat.” Europa sighed. “So he eats more at breakfast. Let his body get the rest it needs.” Melite suggested.
They were arguing over if they should wake me up to eat. Do I want to eat? I am hungry. But my eyes are so heavy. I think I’ll sleep a little longer. “Fine. He doesn’t seem to be moving anytime soon.” Europa conceded. “Yeah, so what does that mean for everyone’s sleeping arrangement?” Demoleon asked.
“What do you mean?” Melite asked as I felt someone sit near my thighs. I’

I cautiously approached, watching her long braid of midnight black hair move with each subtle movement of her head. She was trying to navigate the labyrinth. Too bad she never will. Without a map or having a perfect sense of direction. I know the way because of some strange ability I have where I just can't get lost. Not sure what that’s about, but it has benefited me in living here.Like the others, her clothes were a bit dirty and ragged, perhaps a little more so. This tells me Minos is obviously treating these youths like he would any prisoner, so terribly. I caught sight of a bruise on her ankle when her dress shifted enough to reveal some of her legs. It could be from a stumble, or it could mean the guards or Minos have been abusing her and possibly others.I made a mental note to find that out for certain. I need first to have her feel safe an

I grumbled to myself as I carved a new log into the wall. I knew that people would have misconceptions. I expected it. But I expected it to be about me. I can take anything someone wants to say about me. I don’t care. But I won’t let someone speak ill of my mother. My mother is an angel.How dare Eurymedusa speak that way about my mother. So judgemental. I continued to grumble as I etched the words into the wall. “Asterion!?” Melite’s voice called out. I groaned and rested my head on the wall. Why does she keep doing that? Wandering the maze is dangerous.“Melite…” I sighed, putting down my etching tool, and started to follow the sound of her voice and footsteps. “Asterion?” she called out again. I shook my head as I realized she was heading to the dead-end I set up for Demoleon and any other boys to

I frowned, mulling over her words. I don’t think the Fates care about me, and I can’t see a reason they’d want more of my kind roaming this world. If left unchecked, Minotaur could do such harm. I mean, I do eat the flesh of humans. And it’s possible such a trait could be passed to my children.I sighed and kissed her shoulder. “I rather doubt the Fates would want more of my kind. I’m sure as far as they are concerned, I am an error that they are just waiting for the moment to cut my lifeline and correct.” I shrugged.Melite frowned. “Don’t talk like that. You exist for a reason. And it isn’t to be a monster used by Minos. If you weren’t here, we’d all just have been executed. But you are here, and you’ve saved us from death.” she smiled as she reached up, touching my face. &ldq
Asterion Chapter Twenty-Nine
While Demoleon waited his turn to bathe, he lounged on my bed, reading one of the books scattered about the room. I set to cleaning up from breakfast and double-checking what food was left that they could eat. I hope that my mother will be able to come soon. They need more food. I don’t think any want to become cannibals like me.I wasn’t sure how long it would take four girls to bathe. Probably best I do not focus on it. Because the more I thought about it, the more I imagined Melite and Europa’s naked bodies with droplets of water slipping slowly over the curves I’ve come to know and enjoy.I knew I’d been thinking about it too much when my mind conjured up images of Andromache and even Eurymedusa naked. I shook my head. Yeah, my mind had drifted too far. Demoleon groaned on the bed. “How long does it take to ba

What in the name of all the Gods just happened? Blinked, looking down at Eurymedusa’s face. She looked just as confused as me, yet she’s the one that kissed me. “What’s wrong with me?” she muttered, taking a step away from me. “That’s a good question.” I sighed.This woman was crazy. Apparently, that was the wrong thing, or right thing, to say as she hit me in the stomach before pulling me back down for another kiss. I’ve read stories about women whose personalities seemed to switch between kind and mean. Most books seemed to agree that women are a temperamental gender.And Eurymedusa was the most temperamental woman I’ve ever met. Not that I have met many women, but that’s not the point. I don’t know if I should push her away or pull her closer. I know that she’s got me very confused
Asterion Chapter Thirty-One
Awkward. Yes, that is the word of the day. I woke up to find Demoleon watching me sleep. I startled and scrambled away with a groan as my horns hit the wall. “Hades… what the fuck? Why are you watching me sleep?” I demanded, sitting up rubbing my hand over my muzzle.“Debating how to wake you up. I need to piss.” he chuckled. I grumbled and got to my feet. “Fine. Follow me.” I sighed, leading him to the bath. Things only got more awkward from there as I led him to the main room so he could eat. As we entered the main room, the hushed conversation stopped.I felt three sets of eyes on me, which is odd since four girls are in the room. Eurymedusa isn’t even looking at me. And each of the girls was giving me different looks. Melite was looking at me kindly though I felt a sadness… disappointment in her

Returning to the main room, there were some questioning looks from the other girls as they looked between Andromache and me. I sighed and rolled my eyes. Honestly, it isn’t like every time I’m alone with a female, I have sex with them. I am capable of just having a conversation with someone.Demoleon was sitting with Amphidocus reading a book together. At least the boy had settled in and was no longer shaking. I set down some more books since I figured I might as well bring more reading material for everyone. “Melite, could I speak with you?” I asked. “Um… yes, of course, Asterion.” she nodded, getting up fixing some wrinkles out of her dress.Taking her hand gently, I led her away from the main room. “What do you want to talk about?” she asked after we got a little further away. “I wanted to sp

Apparently, my statement caught Europa by surprise as she gasped. “I… I didn’t.” she frowned. “Yes, you did. You wanted to forget what happened. You wanted a new memory to override a bad one. And I didn’t mind. I was happy to give you a good memory. And while Eurymedusa may have used me, she still did choose that it would be me.” I shrugged.“I’m sorry. I didn’t… I didn’t mean it in that way. But I am still glad to have the memory. And I hope it won’t be the only one before I leave.” Europa smiled, nudging me with her foot. I chuckled, shaking my head. “I mean, as long as you’d be willing to be with me again.” she added quietly. “Of course, I am. Though not at this very moment.” I smiled, getting to my feet.“Come. I need to speak with
