“You.”
The minotaur looked taken aback. “What?”
“Can I become a minotaur?”
“No. I am THE Minotaur. Bastard son of King Minos, twisted by Poseidon as punishment for his greed.” He began to breathe more heavily. “Driven into the dark place by my father the day I could walk, fed the flesh and bones of his adversaries and Crete’s criminals in vengeance for causing his mistress, my mother’s, death during birth. The truth of my bloodline was struck from records to preserve his good name, then I was executed at his whim by Theseus.” He took a deep breath, then exhaled. “I am sorry, that was irrelevant to the conversation. You cannot become ‘a minotaur’ because, among other things, I haven’t any ability to change mortals in such ways.”
You didn’t know how to respond to that. “That... sounds horrible. And even now, you stay here like this?”
He grunted. “The doors to this maze are not locked, and while I dislike most of my neighbors, I have the choice to interact with them. Death granted me freedom and time has granted me relief, more or less.”
“But don’t you get lonely?”
“...Perhaps I was wrong, and the nymph is already beginning to take over.”
“No!” you interject, then realized you were being over-dramatic. Maybe being a nymph for this long was having an effect? “No, I mean that humans are inherently social, and bovines are social too. If you’re human and bovine mixed, it’s probably not good for you to be so isolated.”
“I’m not alone. All sorts of beings bother me.”
“That’s what I mean! You have no one to return to! I’ll be that someone!”
“I don’t need a nymph.”
“I don’t want to be a nymph! There has to be some way to make me more like you!”
“Why would you want to be like me?”
“You’re the only even-headed person I’ve found, and I want to be even-headed too.”
“Person...“ His shadowed figure seemed to slump a bit. “Shame there’s no way to do it.” He paused. “Unless...“
“Unless?”
“I could beseech Poseidon to grant my request. We are not on the best of terms, but he surely understands why. Before I contact him, I need your vow to accept his demands from you, whatever they may be. If you abandon your vow after I indebt myself to Poseidon, I will kill and consume you.”
You held some concern about agreeing to unknown requirements, but it’s not like there’s time to shop around. “I swear I will. Whatever it takes, I’ll do it.”
“Very well. I shall return soon with the offering.”
You suddenly felt a pull, like being left alone would be horrible. “Can I go with you?”
“No. Stay here.” You nod, then watch as the minotaur disappears down a hall.
It doesn’t even feel like five minutes before you begin to fantasize about the minotaur’s body. Those ripped muscles, the unique head and body shape, the massive height and weight, the enormous dick...
You snap back to reality. You weren’t thinking about your body becoming like that, your treacherous body wanted to feel him against it. This inner nymph is actually changing you! With newfound fear, you focused solely on keeping your mind corralled in ways that you’d normally think.
After what felt like hours, the minotaur returned. Those horrid thoughts rushed back to the forefront upon just seeing his outline. “Welcome back!”
He raised a hand. “Be quiet until the offering is done.”
He silently set a wooden idol in the center of the room, then brought a bowl of water in front. Preparing multiple strange flowers and burning a mixture of spices, he began to speak.
“O Lord Poseidon, God of the Sea, the Storms, and the Earthquakes, your forgotten ilk calls upon you. The fickle hand of fate turned your punishment upon King Minos into his boon, and the torment meant for him became mine. Even now, the scars have led me into a life that is no different than death. I request compensation, in the form of a family so that I may experience a life I was never given. I have one that is willing to join me, but I haven’t the means to make her mine, and her time is short.”
He fell silent, but remained focused on the bowl. You didn’t see anything happening, and wondered if it was a wash. However, there was no way you were going to break the silence.
Some minutes later, the minotaur jolted, as if waking up. “I thank you, Poseidon. While it may be some time until the next offering, I will remember this kindness.” He then picked up the bowl, stood up, held it to the dim opening, and began to slowly drink it.
This continued for nearly ten seconds until the bowl was apparently empty. He groaned, holding his gut for a few moments, then he turned toward you. As he did, your eyes immediately shifted down to his junk, which you watched with awe as it seemed to grow by the second. It was previously quite human, but you watched with growing lust as the penis lengthened far beyond human proportion and the testicles grew engorged.
He took a step closer. “Poseidon has deemed my request worthy. I now have a means of changing you, but it is through copulation. Will you fulfill your vow?”
