"Ten centuries ago a creature was born. Child of a terrible passion. Son of a queen, son of a bull. A creature so monstrous, Minos, King of Crete had this maze build to hide him. Every seven years there was a blood tribute paid to Crete. Every seven years a black-sailed ship came from Athens. Seven youths in their prime, seven pure maidens were taken as sacrifice. Brought here to the labyrinth, where every passage is a promise broken, Every way out is a way in and where the Minotaur's savage appetite for human flesh could be dealt with in the dark..."

"People adore monsters. They fill their songs and stories with them. They define themselves in relation to them.
You know what a monster is? Power.
Power and choice. Monsters make choices. Monsters shape the world.
Monsters force us to become stronger, smarter, better. They sift the weak from the strong and provide a forge for the steeling of souls.
Even as we curse monsters, we admire them. Seek to become them, in some ways."
- Jim Butcher, Ghost Story
