A Maze

     A college student discovered a maze between this world and the next, hidden behind a bookshelf that should never have been moved. She stumbles upon a dragon like creature, it befriends her, keeping her warm and safe until she is found. The Dragon has no use of it's hind legs, sacrificed in an attempt to save it's father, a dark god from a death that proved inevitable. Time is distorted in the maze and hours on the outside pass as days inside. The girl and Dragon, starved for companionship, become odd lovers. They are content until the outside world finds them. The girl is 'rescued', the Dragon is caged.
     A goddess, angry at the death of her mate, has riddled the world with disease. Humanity has no way to combat the unfamiliar plague and so is helpless as people die by the thousands. Until they discover the girl behind the bookcase, and the dragon. The girl has gained special powers and special insights from her time in the maze. 
     The girl offers the government any help they want, but begs for the dragon to be let go. She knows its mother will be angry and nothing good can come of keeping it in a cage. It's mother, the goddess will find it anywhere. There is no hiding. Expecting confrontation and resistance the goddess is not prepared for the girls actions when she eventually finds the underground research facility where the military has been holding her child. 
     The girl, who has been elevated to demigoddess status by her time in the maze, does the unthinkable to both sides and releases the Dragon without hesitation. She knows what no one else does yet, that it is dying. She offers it, its last few moments with its mother. The Dragon calls for her as well and as it fades from our existence it is under the hands of the two women it loves.
     Then the battle begins.
