Summary: Within a secluded valley alongside the River Chionthar, there is a great labyrinth, and within that great labyrinth there is an even greater monster. At least, that is what the stories say, and we all know how those are supposed to go, with heroes always coming to save the day. In stories like that, there is only one ending that exists for monsters.

But this is not that kind of story.
