Professor Glasson sat in the empty classroom waiting for the class to arrive. She was very eager to begin the lecture she had planned for the day. Mythology was one of her favourite branches of history. When the class finally did get to their seats, Isolde walked to the front of the room, holding a very old, very dusty book. "Alright! I'd like for all of you to take out your quills and papers and prepare to take notes. "Today’s lecture is going to be about the Labyrinth of Crete. The maze-or labyrinth-is central to one of the best known Greek myths about a hero's test of skill, the historical account of Theseus and the Minotaur. The Labyrinth was built on the island of Crete by Daedalus, perhaps the most able inventor of his time. It was created to hold the pet of King Minos-a man-eating monster with a bull's head and human body, known as the Minotaur. "At the time, Crete dominated Athens, which was forced to pay an annual tribute of seven young men and seven young women to Crete. Every year these unlucky souls were sent into the labyrinth, which was too confusing to escape, and were eaten by the Minotaur. One year Thesus, son of the Athenian king, was among the offerings. But Minos's daughter Ariadne fell in love with him before he entered the labyrinth. To save his life, she gave him a sword to kill the Minotaur and a ball of thread to trail behind him so he could find his way back. "Although Theseus proved ungrateful to Ariadne, after his success in the labyrinth he became one of the greatest kings of Athens." Isolde stopped and smiled at the students, who had been quietly and dilligently taking notes. "You did so well today, that I am not going to assign any homework for you! Thank you all for taking notes and listening so well! Class dismissed!" ******HOMEWORK***** Just RP the lecture. That's it, nothing more! Treat in store for you if you do it. :r: |

Njord walked into class for the first time in a week. It had been a strange situation, playing dead but he hoped that now everything had been explained he could get back to normal. The only thing he was dreading now was his 'talk' with Kailey. He knew she was mad. He would be. He had wanted to tell Kailey about the prank and would have begged Bruin to tell her but Bruin was older, in 6th year and with Njord being only in fourth year he didn't think he could persuade him to tell her. The Professor began her lesson and Njord listened half heartedly. The topic was interesting but his mind was elsewhere. He vowed he would do the reading later and every now and then he scribbled some notes but they were sparse at best. When the class was over he breathed a sigh of relief and grabbed his things and headed out. Hoping that he would not be acosted by anyone who was mad about the prank. |
