(Rejected) Traveling Minotaur

Lore
The creatures of the forest gave the Traveling Minotaur a torrential welcome. The Minotaur ran, soon running out of breath. He had never thought that they would treat him so roughly. The minute he had entered the wood, they had screamed and swooped down upon him... He wondered if he had done something that had horribly offended them, but nothing came to mind. Swinging his sword, he searched for a way out of the forest.
