History: (Beowulf #6) - In the dead city of Crete a grotto Minotaur guarded the fruit of Zumak. Beowulf and his companion Nan-Zee sought the fruit so Beowulf could gain mystic might to combat Grendel. In the center of the labyrinth the Minotaur attacked them, enraged at seeing Beowulf wearing the skull of one of his brothers as a helmet. Satan added his strength to the Minotaur, allowing him to gore and overpower Beowulf. In Hell Grendel slew Satan for daring to name Dracula as his new heir, and Satan's power drained from the Minotaur. Beowulf grabbed the Zumak fruit and ate of it, gaining his mystic strength. He killed the minotaur, and Beowulf and Nan-Zee headed back to Daneland for the final confrontation with Grendel.
