How To Slay A Minotaur: The Simplest Guide On Earth.

By Ollie.

  Have you just been given a Minotaur to slay? If so, how would you complete it? It is a life or death situation. However, if you read this set of simple instructions and do what it says, you will have a better chance of survival.

  First, find a stable – structured ship, a trustworthy crew and a map ( a compass if needed ) for a wonderful journey to Crete. Do not forget to put your black and white sails in the ship.

  Next, having a successful voyage to Crete, have a luxurious and tasty banquet because it could be your last. Also, enjoy it and eat all you can because you will need a great amount of energy to kill the Minotaur.

  Then, go find a maiden and fall in love with her. Do not marry her though because she is your enemy’s daughter. But if she offers you any sort of equipment, accept it with no hesitation.

 After that, the maiden you fell in love with will most likely get you a long, sharp sword and magic thread. You will need these because it will help you defeat the Minotaur and help you get back to the start.

  The next day, gather your crew together and go into the maze. The crew will be too scared to go and fight the Minotaur so they will be depending on you to go and fight it. Tie the thread on to the door and unravel it as you find your way to the beast. As you go to find the beast, be very quiet and walk away from the noise because the Minotaur is probably sleeping.

 Once you have found the Minotaur,  the best way of killing it is slashing his leg, then stab it in the heart. When it is on the ground and you think it is dead, prod it in the head a couple times. Now you know it is dead, so for celebration chop off the head and take it back to the city.

  After that, carry the Minotaur’s head back with you by following the magic thread and show it to your crew. As soon as they approve of it, run back to the ship.

  Eventually, get on the ship and dump your maiden. Top tip: change your sail to white so your dad does not jump off a cliff and die. Once you are back at the city, celebrate the death of the Minotaur. Also, hang the head on the wall for decoration.

  Minotaur’s are dangerous creatures: half man, half bull. No one should take on this task without any understanding of how powerful and  deadly these creatures are. If you were too, there is a high risk of gruesome death. However, if you know what’s coming up, you have a better chance of life if you have the equipment.

We are depending on you.
