Jaeden dodged the Minotaur’s furious charge, rolling over his shoulder and coming up ready to move again. “I just want to talk!” he shouted, but the creature wasn’t interested in negotiation. Snorting with rage, it charged again, and Jaeden tried to trick it into hitting a wall—unfortunately, the Minotaur was smarter than that.

As Jaeden dodged, the creature slowed down and swung its massive axe at him. The force of the blow left an imprint in the stone wall, barely missing Jaeden as he darted toward a pile of bones, trying to buy time. He noticed with growing anxiety that the entrance he’d come through had vanished. The Twilight King must have shifted the maze again, trapping him with no escape.

Desperate for a plan, Jaeden’s eyes landed on a bronze statue in the center of the courtyard. He suspected it held some hidden significance. “Hey, big guy!” he taunted, waving his shirt matador-style to lure the beast toward the statue. The Minotaur’s eyes flared, and it charged, slamming into the statue with bone-rattling force.

A shockwave of energy erupted, stunning the Minotaur. Jaeden seized the moment, aiming a blow at its neck, but hit hidden armor instead. The Minotaur roared in rage, and a quest log blinked into Jaeden’s vision, encouraging him to keep fighting—and survive for a valuable reward.
