The Dungeon Tree

Morgan opened the door to the room allowing us to enter. The room was larger than any other room we had been in before. It had ten pillars on the left and right side of the room. A large carpet went down the middle of the room and led to a small throne. On the throne sat the Minotaur.


The Minotaur grabbed the two axes that sat next to it and jumped off its throne and landed in front of us. I slowly looked upwards at the Minotaur and got to see up close just how much bigger it was than me.


The Minotaur raised its axe and slammed it into the ground before jumping back. I readied Genki for the fight that was about to happen.


The Minotaur ran at us and swung its axe at me. I quickly raised my sword to block its attack and got launched into a wall. I quickly removed myself from the wall and began running at the Minotaur.


The Minotaur slammed its axe into the ground in front of me causing me to fall back. Alice readied one of her spells and began firing ice shards at the Minotaur while I tried to pick myself up.


I jumped back up and began to observe the Minotaur. I watched for any weaknesses that we could exploit but didn't see anything. Morgan began running around the Minotaur the same way he did to me before and jumped onto the wall, burying his sword into the wall so he could hang.


Morgan jumped off the wall and launched himself towards the Minotaur. When he got close to the Minotaur he kicked it across the face causing it to stagger back. Morgan landed back on the ground just the jump back up and land another kick to the Minotaur before jumping back.


The Minotaur had its back completely turned to me and nobody was near it giving me a bright idea. 'I think I have enough energy stored to shoot a large beam.' I thought. I aimed my katana at the Minotaur and let out a smirk.


Genki shot a large energy beam at the Minotaur leaving a huge hole in its center. The Minotaur looked at the hole on its body before collapsing on the ground and dying.


I turned towards everyone and saw that they were all looking at me. Morgan began running towards me with Chuck following behind him and stopped right in front of me.


"So you can use a Genmochi? That would explain why I felt there was something special about you. No matter, we can bring this up later. For now let's just get out of here. I'd rather us not stay here long enough for another Minotaur to appear." Morgan said.


Morgan began running off into the dungeon again causing all of us to chase after him. While we ran Alice caught up next to me and gave me a thumbs up. I let out a small smile before turning back towards Morgan. I had noticed he stopped again and was facing all of us.
