On my way to work last night, I biked into a field of flowers.  It was really warm so I decided to tumble in the heap of delicious joy and sensual sensations of the scented shoots.  It was then I realized that I was stuck in a small ruin of somewhat Mayan in nature.
I walked ahead and discovered a giant gate with the carving of a phoenix.  There was a glyph on the side and I touched it and found the phoenix coming alive.  It spewed out a three-tailed minotaur and I ran.
When I got back on my bike, heading towards downtown, I suddenly realized that I probably should go back and make sure the minotaur isn't going to go attack any more people.  So I stopped off at the local blacksmith on Commercial Drive and bought myself a small sword.  I figured that swords would kill a beast like a minotaur since they were around before guns which necessarily means that guns cannot harm mythological creatures.
I also took some time to go to a Church and have the sword blessed.  Better yet, this was a Greek Orthodox Church.

As I headed towards the field of flowers on Adanac, I happened to find a small satyr that wanted to dance.  I told him that I needed to kill a minotaur and he decided to follow up.  It's nice to have a bowsman for the journey, I suppose.

When we approached the field and ruins, we found the phoenix back in its carving and the minotaur to be no where in site.  I touched the glyph again and once again, the phoenix rose from its carving and spewed out the minotaur.

With a quick couple of strikes, I had the creature down for the count.  No more worrying about people being slaughtered by this mythological creature.  I lopped off the three tails as a request from the Satyr.  Apparently, minotaur tails are rare.

When the gate opened up, I thought I should've gone straight to work and left the minotaur roaming free.  I had told my boss why I might be late, however, he didn't want to talk too much about minotaurs.  I walked into the ruins.

Inside was as plain as it wasn't outside.  There were not special carvings or glyphs or anything that could tell me why this was here in the middle of Vancouver.  So I walked out of the ruins and then decided to walk in again.  I did this seven times.

On the seventh try, the ruins opened up at the bottom and I discovered a treasury.  Most of it was gold too heavy to lift so I couldn't really steal anything.  instead, I walked outside, called my boss to tell him I am going to quit my job, and called a bunch of friends who needed to make money fast to come get me.  And bring a van or two.  Maybe some ancient weapons with enchantments.  (Believe me, living in Vancouver, it's hard to find enchanted weapons.  So I told them to get their weapons blessed in a Church if they could.)

Upon arrival, my friends greeted me with great many assortment of weapons.  Only three of them actually showed up.  The Satyr was still there so it was a Party of Five.  Not the best number, but an ax/mace wielder, two swordsman, and two archers seem to fit the bill nicely.  There is no need for magic as we were just looting from a random Mayan ruin in East Vancouver.

So we walked back and forth from the entrance seven times and again, the doors opened from the ground and we walked into an entirely different chamber.  This one contained things we could not move.

It was a stadium of artifacts.  Mainly an ancient mythological creature zoo.  The animals didn't have a problem moving about either.  The entire Zodiac was residing in some far corner.  Castor and Pollux trying to balance each other out, Taurus having a good fight with Cancer.  And in the centre stood a creature that I couldn't really describe, but the glyphs said danger all over them.  We tried to stay away as much as possible from that cage.

Unfortunately, the Satyr decided to set off some ancient alarm and all the cages opened and a sea of people erupted from the seats and started to cheer.  The creature in the centre gate opened and started to run around, ready to charge at us.  We were surrounded by lions and tigers and all things that should belong to fairy tales.  The Satyr joined the party of baddies as well.

I jumped up into the air, higher than I really thought possible and threw my sword down on a lion, killing it instantly.  Then the sky split open and Leo disappeared from the Zodiac.  I didn't think that it was a good idea to try to kill these things after all.

My friends spent a lot of time defending and yelling at me for lying.  I promised gold and treasure.  Instead, they were stuck fighting for their lives and trying hard not to destroy the Zodiac.

Then the big thing came up and knocked me up into the air and charged at me in the sky.  I didn't have my sword so I just started to run around in circles in the stadium and I threw people at the beast.

Somehow I woke up and realized I had to see my doctor for some examinations.  And then I realized it wasn't real.

And then I got a phone call from SFU saying I have a lunch meeting tomorrow.  And then the secretary asked me a few questions and realized I wasn't the right person even though the name, phone number, and other personal information was the same.  I should've just gone for a free lunch.

People stare.
