The Lust

"Aphrodite can fly,” whispered Claire into Leon's ear.

"So?" Leon asked, confused.

Claire quickly took out the digital screen from her hand, making a sound that caught the Minotaur's attention.

"Claire! What are you doing?" Leon asked in panic.

The Minotaur ran fast with heavy steps thudding the ground. His snorting breath sounded louder. Leon panicked, while Claire randomly chose the buttons that display different images. Leon doesn't know what Claire was looking for.

"Hurry, let's go now, Claire!" exclaimed Leon. Now he didn't bother to lower his voice anymore. The Minotaur already knew where they were. Leon almost dragged Claire away from there, but suddenly Claire shouted loudly.

"This is it!" exclaimed Claire. At the same time, the Minotaur sounded behind them, it’s horns butting towards them.

"Switch characters to Aphrodite!" exclaimed Claire. In an instant, she had turned into the beautiful Aphrodite. Quickly, Claire took Leon's arm and they flew into the sky. The Minotaur almost hit Leon's dangling leg, lucky that Aphrodite was able to fly so quickly. Up above, they still can hear the Minotaur screaming angrily below.

"Leon, are you okay?" asked Claire.

"I'm fine," said Leon.

"Can you take us straight out of this maze?" ask Leon again.

"Unfortunately, I don't think so," replied Claire.

"What do you mean?"

“Look around you! Thick fog is everywhere, we can't see the way out of this maze," replied Claire again.

Leon looked around him and saw that a thick fog had completely covered their vision.

"They designed it so that no one can get out of here, even if they can fly," Leon muttered.

Claire then flew so low that their feet almost touched the plant that became the guardrail in the maze. Only at this low, they could see without being shrouded in fog. Claire looked around, it seemed like it was safe here for a while. Claire then chose a place to land.

"I think it's safe here for a while," said Claire with a deep sigh.

"Hey, if you can switch into Aphrodite, of course I can also choose the character Theseus!" exclaimed Leon excitedly. It was their only hope. Leon immediately opened the digital screen by stretching his hand forward.

"What button did you choose?" Leon asked Claire.

"I don't know, I forgot. I just chose arbitrary," replied Claire.

"Try to remember!" exclaimed Leon again.

"Just try one by one. Somehow it is so hard to think using Aphrodite’s brain," replied Claire.

"Geez! The goddess of beauty really is ...” Leon muttered irritably. He then tried the button displayed in front of him one by one. Claire rolled her eyes then decided to sit down and rest for a bit.

"This is it!" exclaimed Leon suddenly.

“Ssshhh!! Lower your voice. The Minotaur's still around here,” Claire exclaimed in a hushed voice. Leon immediately closed his mouth.

"I found it," he said in a hushed voice.

Leon then scrolled the screen to see the available characters. He found Theseus, but somehow he couldn't choose that character. Many times Leon tried, but the character Theseus really could not be chosen.

"What is wrong?" asked Claire.

"I can't choose the Theseus character," said Leon.

“It's a character that's still locked. Is there any explanation how to unlock it? " asked Claire.

"Let’s try to click on the padlock," said Leon as he tried it.

A small screen opened before them all of a sudden.

To unlock this character, find Ariadne's red thread. Hint: The thread is in a place forged by fire.

"What does this mean?" asked Leon.

“How could I know about it! You were the one with mythological knowledge around here," exclaimed Claire. Her knowledge of Greek mythology had all disappeared. Indeed, Claire does not know anything about Greek mythology, everything she knows comes from the previous character Athena. And now Aphrodite's brain was completely empty.

"Wait! I think I've heard about Ariadne ... Ariadne ... Ariadne ... Oh I remember! Theseus teases Ariadne, so she gives him a red thread to get out of this maze. Theseus used it to mark the road he had traveled, ”said Leon.

"A place forged by fire ..." muttered Claire.

"I don't know what that means," Leon replied.

“This game from the start told you to become Ares. Isn't he the god of war and fire?" asked Claire. Leon's eyes widened; Claire was right.

"And this game also recommends the Aphrodite character earlier for you!" exclaimed Leon.

"I think you should choose Ares," replied Claire.

Leon nodded, he immediately chose Ares, the god of war and fire who is grumpy and according to Leon very stupid. In an instant, Leon changed. Now he wears black armor with some red accents. He also wore a red robe. Very striking. The digital screen then disappeared from before him.

Leon then turned towards Claire. For some reason now he was looking at Claire in a different way, his heart was beating faster and his blood was rushing. The woman looked very seductive, making Leon swallow hard. Claire also looked at him with a seductive gaze, full of passion.

"Shit!" cursed Leon. He finally remembered something in the legend of Greek mythology.

"Why?" asked Claire.

"I forgot something important," said Leon.

"What?" asked Claire as she walked over gracefully. Showing her long and smooth legs.

“Ares and Aphrodite are the most legendary couple. Aphrodite had affairs with many men, including her adopted son Adonis. But Ares, is her favorite," said Leon. By the time he finished his sentence, Claire was right in front of him, they were only a few centimeters away. Her soft hand gently touched Leon's cheek.

"Claire, you will regret this," murmured Leon.

"To hell with that. I want you now," replied Claire. She could not contain the passion boiling within her. She pressed her body against Leon’s chest, feeling his heartbeat in her breasts. She then slowly reached Leon’s lips with hers, caress it gently but full of passion.
