The girl gave a little cry of fright, jumping and spinning to face the voice that suddenly loomed up behind her. Whatever reply she had been preparing died on her lips, replaced by a shocked gasp. She stared up at Bak'Ran, sky-blue eyes wide with fear.  She'd heard stories of minotaurs, legends from distant lands, but had never seen one with her own eyes.<br/><br/>When he began to circle her she knew she should turn, should never let and adversary get behind her back, but she was frozen with fear. She'd never seen a creature so huge, so powerful before. She should have drawn her daggers, but her hands merely trembled.<br/><br/>"I...I'm sorry sir!" she finally managed to stammer, looking fearfully up at the hulking beast every time he passed in front of her. "I...I didn't know I was trespassing...I got lost in the caves, and seem to, to have come out the wrong exit."<br/><br/>Her throat felt dry, and she knew he could see her shaking. With each of the Minotaur's heavy footsteps she could feel the vibrations through the soles of her shoes. "Please, sir, I'll gladly leave if you'll only point me in the right direction."
