Hero: Sunweaver seemed to know something about it.
Sunweaver: This labyrinth looks familiar. There is an old story told by my people...
Hero: Oh?
Sunweaver: There was once a Tauros who tried to cheat death, and was exiled.
Hero: Interesting.
Sunweaver: The tales tell that he built a labyrinth just like this to hide in.
Hero: Let's find out.

Sunweaver: I wonder what they were guarding in here. Could it be his final resting place?
Hero: .... The old Tauros?
Sunweaver: His name was King Minos. He was a great warrior, a great leader, and a brilliant mind.
Hero: I see.
Sunweaver: He was... Until the fateful day when he thought he could live forever.
Hero: So you said.
Sunweaver: You know my kind, we embrace death. The way we die is as important as the way we live.
Hero: This is true.
Left or Right?

Sunweaver: If this is indeed the Labyrinth of King Minos, it will be difficult.
Hero: How difficult?
Sunweaver: The tales say he used it to hide from death.
Hero: Really?
Sunweaver: If it stopped death, even for a short time, our chances are not good.
Hero: Fair point.
Sunweaver: But if there is even a chance he is still alive, we must press on.
Hero: Very well.

Sunweaver: The legends are true! Those Tauros have only one horn!
Hero: Why is that?
Sunweaver: They say Ketras himself cursed the followers of King Minos as they were banished.
Hero: Cursed them?
Sunweaver: Yes. Our horns are our pride. He cursed them to only have a single horn.
Hero: I see.
Sunweaver: They called them Rhinotaurs. These must be their descendants.
Hero: How terrible.
Which Way is Which?

Sunweaver: Left, right, left, left... I'm afraid we are lost. This maze is never-ending.
Hero: So what now?
Sunweaver: There IS one perk of being a spirit...
Hero: What's that?
Sunweaver: I can consult with my ancestors. They may have some advice.
Hero: I hope they do.

Hero: What's that?
Sunweaver: King Minos never crossed over. He must still be alive here.
Hero: Or a spirit like you.
Sunweaver: Have you seen any sign of him while I was gone?
Hero: Just these machines.
Sunweaver: Mechanical Tauros? King Minos must have built them.
Hero: Pretty clever.

Sunweaver: Finally. King Minos has been returned to the stars to rest with our ancestors.
Hero: That's good.
Sunweaver: I doubt he will have a good reception, at least not for a few centuries.
Hero: Oh?
Sunweaver: A noble death is important. And he DID kick and scream a lot.
Hero: He did rather.
Sunweaver: But what's more, I have another tale to tell the ancestors when it is MY time.
Hero: Me too.
