SIN
I jinxed myself before we even began.
It was a far cry from being easy.
So far, in fact, that I probably owed my father an apology for being a little shit when I was younger and learning how to shift.
Oh how that man had the patience of a saint.
"Look..."I trailed off, not really sure how to address the minotaur.
"Asterius" he muttered out "Name is Asterius."
"Asterius" I murmured softly "Pretty name."
"Grandfather" He grunted out "Mother named me after grandfather."
"You speak pretty good English for a bea..." he shot me a look and I gave him a sheepish smile "A minotaur."
"Althaia taught me."
"And who is Althaia?" I asked, confused "Is she another Minotaur?"
He shook his huge bull head "She not like me."
"Then who was she?"
"She was...friend" he said quietly "Before beast took over and..."
He shuttered and I'm pretty sure I knew where he was going with his story.
The beast took over and killed her.
"Is that why you want to control that side of you?" I asked.
"I made promise to her..." he said "On her last day here. I made promise."
"Okay" I puffed out a breath "Let's try this again."
He closed his eyes and I murmured softly "Imagine your happy place."
"No have one" he said "Been here since I was a Calf."
My heart, as weird as it sounded, panged for him and his situation.
He was a monster, sure, but he was also half human. I would be lying if I said we weren't similar in some aspects.
We were both beasts trapped in our own Labyrinth.
While mine wasn't physical like his, it still existed nonetheless.
"Well...Imagine your time with Althaia" I said quickly when his face screwed up in pain "Imagine the day she taught you what you know now."
