Minotaur

Long ago, the Minoans founded a mysterious and prosperous state called Minoa in the barren lands of Agelta.

The ancient Emerald Road connected Minoa to other western cities, creating a network of trade routes, while Minoa stood out among all others for its advanced civilization and martial traditions.

Prince Minotaur of Minoa was then the most esteemed warrior. Passionate about fighting and often fueled by his rage, the Minotaur displayed terrifying bursts of strength in combat. Few could hope to last more than a few rounds against him.

People began to worship the Minotaur, but his father was deeply concerned about him. While achieving great success on the battlefield, the Minotaur's savagery and impulsive behavior were unworthy of the successor to the state.

To make the Minotaur a suitable heir to the throne, the old king has arranged a special trial in which the prince must defeat a mysterious figure from foreign lands to qualify for the throne of Minoa.

The Minotaur accepted this bare-handed duel without hesitation. He entered the arena with his head held high and attempted to crush his opponent with brute force, as he had always done. However, his opponent this time was much tougher, and the Minotaur quickly exhausted himself, losing his advantage.

In the end, the mysterious figure defeated the "invincible" Minotaur with measured counterattacks.

The crowd cheered the victor loud and graceful, but the Minotaur was overcome with rage and shame.

And when the mysterious figure reached out to help the Minotaur back to his feet, the Minotaur grabbed the unsuspecting hand and pinned the unsuspecting hand and pinned the mysterious figure to the ground, before throwing a series of vicious punches at him.

As his fists were covered in blood and the mysterious figure stopped struggling, the Minotaur tore off the latter's mask amid the jeers of the crowd, and that's when his entire body stiffened. The seriously injured figure on the ground was actually his father!

The old king grabbed the Minotaur's hand with his last strength and spoke his final words of instruction to his son: "You must learn to take responsibility as king and continue the glory of Minoa..."

Consumed by shame and regret, the Minotaur made his way to the Minoan Labyrinth, the burial place of the Minoan ancestors, and began his training and repentance.

Over time, Minotaur gradually gained control of his rage and became capable of harnessing his unleashed powers at will.

As the Minotaur embarked on this arduous training, an unexpected catastrophe occurred. The whole of Minoa. was flattened by the explosion of the Twilight Orb, and only the Minotaur remained unharmed under the protection of the Labyrinth. The Minotaur rushed to the State amidst the tremors, wanting to find out what had happened, when a broken piece of the Orb of Twilight fell into the Labyrinth and sealed it entirely. The Minotaur, who was half a step away from the Labyrinth, was completely sealed and put into a deep sleep.

The catastrophe erased all traces of Minoan civilization, leaving only the Minoan labyrinth half-hidden in the sand. After countless days and nights, the broken piece of the Twilight Orb transformed into Lunox and left.

The seal was then lifted. Time in the Labyrinth began to pass again, while the Minotaur slowly opened his eyes....

Aldous, the guardian of the Labyrinth, told the Minotaur that his state had long since turned to dust and that he and his memories were all that remained. The Minotaur, however, would believe none of this.

With his father's final mission still fresh in his mind, the prince vowed to find his lost parents and rebuild the Minoan civilization.

In the boundless sand, a set of hoof prints stretched to the horizon...
