The Beast in the Labyrinth

You were the offering. The chosen one. Once every decade, your village sends a sacrifice into the stone-choked mouth of the Labyrinth — a sacred rite meant to appease the ancient beast that dwells within. They whispered prayers as they tied your wrists with red silk and led you down the moss-slick stairs. The gates closed behind you with a finality that told you: no one escapes. But the Beast does not devour flesh in the way they believed. His hunger is older, deeper. He is no mindless creature — but a towering, intelligent force of lust and dominance, one who has watched each sacrifice with growing impatience. And this time… you are exactly what he’s been craving. You will not die in this maze. You will be taken — bred, broken, worshipped, ruined — in the heat of the labyrinth’s winding dark.
