Oreios sprung to consciousness. He was on his back staring at a ceiling. Stalactites pointed back at him. His still damp and weak body was more malleable than before. His command over the earth and rocks around him waned as moisture dripped from his fingers.

Argus, still in his full Minotaur form, picked Oreios up and wrapped his full hand around his skinny and squishy body. He slammed Oreios into the wall and drove his axe into his midsection, pinning the mountain dweller to the stone. His feet dangled a good four feet off the ground.

Oreios slumped forward. His head titled sideways. Jackson was on the floor with his armor completely rescinded, naked. To Oreios’ left, a vivacious figure walked steadily toward him. Maya came into focus. Her crimson hair buoyantly swayed back and forth. She stopped to return his gaze, staring into his eyes.

“The prodigal son returns home,” she said, her voice almost moaning as she licked her lips. Her eyes rake their enticing fingers over Oreios. Standing over Jackson, Maya began her inquisition. “And I see you are running with the wrong sort. If the informant would have told me you would be among them, I might’ve rolled out the real welcome wagon.”

“So you’ve missed me, have you?” Oreios grinned, but was smashed in the face by Argus’ massive fist. His head was misshapen, but slowly formed back to a recognizable structure. He looked at the giant Minotaur and smiled, his mouth sideways on his face. “I missed you most of all, Scarecrow.”

“What are you doing with these heretics?” Maya glared at Oreios, her dress gliding over Jackson’s limp body as she stepped over him. She nodded at Argus and he pulled the axe out of Oreios’ chest. He fell to the floor, bowing at her knees. “Did we really mistreat you so?”

“I’m a free agent, you know that.” He coughed with little spurts of mud dripping out of his mouth. He tried to sit up, but Argus laid his foot onto his back. “I have nothing, you guys. I’m just looking out for number one.”

“Yes, now that all your kind is dead,” Maya mocked, standing up. “So you decided to take up arms against your creator now that you’ve failed to protect those you loved.”

“They’re all dead?” He grunted as Argus dug a heel even further into his back. “You’re not my creator. I just go where the money is...”

“Is human life appealing to you? Is that why you masquerade as one of them?”

“A lot has changed since you’ve been to the surface last.” Oreios took in several deep breaths as the massive foot was lifted off his back. “It’s amazing how far gone humans have become. It’s truly an age of decadence out there. Everywhere you go there is wonderful, filthy sex, murderous tyrants, and false prophets. You know; your kind of people.”

Argus backhanded Oreios. Chunks of his mud-like body splattered in all directions. Oreios laughed as Maya held a hand up to stop her giant centurion.
