Sinbad and the Minotaur Page #4

---

great Minotaur comes

and there will be no mercy.

No mercy! No mercy!

Great Minotaur,

it is as you command.

Behold! Your faithful

brings sacrifice.

Before the sacred head,

take her royal blood.

I'll give you royal blood.

Impressive.

The blood of your

mighty ancestor compels you.

All-Father?

- My child.

Can you not tell?

All-Father!

Yes! That's right, my

children. That's right.

You've always known me.

I am your god.

You are my army.

You, Captain!

Captain! -Sinbad,

can you hear me?

There.

Great Minotaur, I swear,

I did just as you commanded.

Sinbad, the one who grieved you

he's here, right here in the temple.

All-Father, please,

I beg you, come.

You, Captain!

- Sinbad!

I thought I told you

to stay at the ship.

This one said he

smelled gold.

Nestor was right.

We can't kill a god!

Get back!

Get back!

She's one of yours,

isn't she? Get back!

Who will collect your blood,

if your high

priestess is dead?

You're a fool, Sinbad.

All-Father!

We're cornered.

Quick! Everybody,

behind the cloak!

Those fools!

Stay alert. The Minotaur

is still nearby.

Are we going back

for the golden head?

You'll never get

that thing out of here.

Tara, the cloak of mists can transport

anything from one place to another.

All we have to do is get

back past the Minotaur.

Well, you only have

one button left.

And it's all we'll need.

Stay close.

Your temple lies

this way, master.

Lead us to my temple.

Akoom!

We have to get him

out of here.

To the door!

- It's closing! Hurry!

Nestor! Hold the door.

We're not going to make it.

I can't! I can't hold it! Move!

Come on, Tara!

- Hurry!

Easy.

Wait. No, this is all wrong.

We didn't come way before.

We have to go back. -Get a hold

of yourself, Nestor. Keep moving.

Careful, careful!

The gold, you mutants.

No, no, not that way!

You lot, come with me!

Trust me, my child.

They say the great sorcerer,

kings of yore.

I'd sacrifice a thousand slaves

to perform their dark rituals.

I say they lacked vision!

With you to fund my armies I'll

sacrifice whole cities at a time.

I'll drown entire nations in

blood again and again,

until I have discovered every

secret and mastered every mystery

of this infernal abyss.

It's coming.

- Now, this looks familiar.

Quickly, all of you. It's

this way, I'm sure of it.

Nestor!

It's coming!

You'll be joining us back

on the ship, friend. -Sinbad.

You must stop the Minotaur.

You're right. It's

time to fight. -Sinbad, no.

Please don't.

I'll take Akoom.

You lead the way.

Nestor.

What is it?

Only that of a god

can kill god.

The horn? Do you

mean the horn?

Take it.

If we take it,

it'll kill him.

Kill me?

Look at me! I'm already

dead! -Akoom, no.

Take it!

Take it! Let me die

a warrior's death!

Sinbad! Sinbad!

Sinbad, where are you?

Sinbad!

- You!

No! Stay with the head.

You three, the girl, go!

You call yourself an immortal?

You can't even catch me!

Impressive.

Sinbad! The horn, use it!

- For what?

Only that of a god can kill a god.

Sinbad, what now?

- Revenge.

Pain! The pain!

The All-Father needs us!

What? What's happening?

I'M the All-Father!

I command you! Stop!

- We can't.

Stop! Stop!

- All-Father! -Do something!

With the Minoans in the tunnel,

this could be our last chance

to make it to the ship.

- We're still taking

the Colossus's head?

- Damn the Colossus!

I would give 10 such treasures

for the lives of my men.

Well, so, what, then?

You're just going to give up?

Have us turn tail and sail away?

- When are you two going to realize

that treasure doesn't always

come in the form of gold?

All-Father, great Minotaur,

god of the mountain, I call to you.

I am the All-Father,

god of the mountain.

I am Minotaur!

All-Father, we failed you.

Betrayers!

You dare show your face

within these sacred walls?

No, All-Father, it was the blood.

It commanded... -Silence!

You stand before your god

and you dare speak of excuses?

The great head, my sacred birthright

for over a thousand years,

taken from the holy temple

and defiled by unclean hands,

aided by unfaithful children.

Forgive us, All-Father.

- Forgiveness?

You dare ask for forgiveness?

For mercy?

I am the All-Father,

god of the mountain!

I am Minotaur and

I know nothing but rage.

Rage!

What now?

You know, I've been thinking,

a trophy like this has to be

worth something, right?

I mean, who wouldn't want

to hang this up on their mantel?

This thing is best to

forgotten. -Look out!

Kneel!

Kneel.

Let them go.

- Or what?

You lost, Sinbad.

Your comrades are all dead.

But your woman, well,

she never really was your woman

in the first place, was she?

Well, how can I compete

against an old, bald eunuch?

I'll have your tongue for that.

Seif! -Prepare yourself!

I no longer fear you.

- That's why I'll succeed.

Just how long do

you think you can go?

I've conquered death already!

Conquer this.

Now, there is change.

- No, no. Nothing has changed.

I am still st...

Die!

Burn!

I hate sorcerers. -I bring a

message for you from the mountain.

He comes. He comes.

The All-Father approaches.

The Minotaur. We've got

to get out of here.

Such rage. Such powerful,

beautiful rage.

Come on. Let's go.

No. I'll handle this. -We need to be

running from it! No more running.

He comes. He comes.

He is here!

Move!

Sinbad, what are you doing?

- Well, he's just a bull, isn't he?

Come on! I'm the one

who took your eye!

It's me you want,

beast! Come on!

Come and get me!

Come on!

No!

Lucky last.

No, Sinbad!

That's for my crew.

- Sinbad!

All-Father.

Leave her. She's lost

enough already.

We all have.

What?

The head! The head! The golden

head. The mountain gave it up.

So what now, Sinbad?

Back to the ship

with all your gold?

Off on another adventure?

Not all treasure

comes in the form of gold.

We're rich!

We're rich, Sinbad!

We're rich. Details.
