"Hah, that's the last time I'm taking directions from an old man that was supposed to be a war veteran. I shouldn't have disillusioned myself just because the man had been to war," Ark sighed and found a small rock to seat himself. There was nothing here but a cavern and he doubt that this was the entrance to the goddess' temple. He expected Kioku's temple entrance to be...bloody and disturbing to the weak-hearted. He expected that it would be extravagant and he would notice it immediately when he had arrived. He felt as if he was in the right place but he was having doubts. Perhaps, if he would wait for a long while, she would come out. He has eternity as her servant so he doubt that she wouldn't appear at the least. He found himself rubbing the side of his head as if feeling the effect of her kick that time at the desert. Of course, he was barely sure if she did kick him but it was some kind of sign that was telling him that she did. Also, the puns. She seemed to love bombarding him with them and though the others were lame, it was hilarious at how they fit into the situation. All that is left is to wait. Hopefully she would appear soon. He gets bored easily. [yay for crap! >_<] |

The goddess had nothing else to do this day. Even she with all her powers enjoyed a bit of time off. Today had been spent feeding the beasts she called her pets, demonic creatures all, and inspecting the status of her followers, soldiers, and priestly types. It seemed that since she had transformed herself to war, her followers were, well, better. Before they were not more than poor saps too weak for their own vengeance and thus expecting her to give it freely to them. As many learned however, the goddess never gave anything away for free. She was not some bleeding heart angel sent from above. Rather she was quite literally little else than a cold bitch from the hells. For those who did prove worthy however, greatness could proceed them. They only had to stay within her good graces, by their power enticing her to let them live or their background to intrigue. Above all else too, the goddess was a ... collector, or oddities. Such as the now no longer a jigsaw puzzle lancer which lounged outside her temple. As with all things the goddess knew when someone was about. And so casually she would appear before him. Leaning over him and berating him like a small child. "Come on out of the cold then." |

Ark had been a bit slacking off now that he thought about it. No longer was his focus to find the mastermind of his brutal murder. He was now focusing more on the affair that he was having. Strange affair too that he had with that adorable dragon hybrid. A ghostliner and a dragon hybrid, strange pair indeed. He was wondering if that affair or losing focus on vengeance was going to affect his contract with Kioku. As far as he was concerned, she was no damn goddess of love and was ironically the exact opposite of it. That reverted his attention back to wondering about the deity's temple. Should he pray to the gods and goddesses for guidance? Nah, Kioku might smite him if he started to have faith in other gods. He didn't really know if she was one to share her followers but he wouldn't risk it. She had his entire existence by the palm of her hand. Well, he was right to wait, for the goddess now stood and leaned over to him. Perhaps it was because he was sitting on a rock that she had to lean over. "I'd probably will," He stood and brush the dust off of his clothes. He found that he was taller than her. It felt a bit new since the first time they had met, she carried his severed head and he looked up to her. "Is it me, or did you get shorter?" |

Indeed this was one goddess who did not like to share. UNLESS, oh there was one exception, the goddess had developed an alignment of sorts with the goddess of death. Kioku would even venture to say that they were quite good friends, death and war were. "These things happen when you're a bit ahead of yourself." She quipped, not wishing to give further mention as to her height. Though the goddess was not extremely short, she was not all that tall either. Perhaps shorter than her peers even. But her body was lean and like that of the predator, the wolf she was. And her powers more than made up for the difference in her vertical situation when compared to most others. "Come. If you can stand the effort." That was the last thing she said as she turned and headed towards the darker reaches of her temple. |

Upon hearing the word 'head' he gulped down some saliva that seemed to have stuck on his throat. His hand had went to his neck. It wouldn't affect him if it had come from another person. But from her, it seemed to always keep reminding him of the time when she had found him dismembered and it pieces. It's not as if he wasn't grateful. Maybe because he doesn't show he is grateful enough. His loyalty still lies with her if that accounts for anything. He shrugged and smirked as he started to follow her. "I have all eternity. How bad can it be?" He asked her in a bit of a teasing manner. As much as he wanted to say he didn't expect this kind of a place for a temple, he figured to keep his mouth shut for the while until he sees the temple wholly. Maybe the inside isn't as plain as the outside, after all. |

She only laughed at his reaction. Sometimes the way people acted just because she could tear them apart in an instant was ... amusing. "Oh, don't go falling apart on me now." She joked with a smirk, before heading into the darkness of the tunnels. A few minutes later she lead him to the actual temple. In the midst of a giant cavern was a temple made of onyx. It was shaped much like a pyramid, all sides being akin to a staircase. There was a throne carved into one of these man high 'steps', but it seemed little used. It was an enigmatic structure, and the goddess was not even sure what, if anything, lie inside. But she didn't care most of the time and when she did something more interesting always came up. "Welcome ... home." |

Puns. They seem to be her weapon of choice. Well, he couldn't blame her for being found like that in the desert. He was now suspecting that the headache was caused by her. Would a person like her really kick a man's head while in the desert? He looked at her for a while and then shrugged his shoulders as he arrived to his answer. She would definitely be guilty for doing so. The temple was...not what he expected. But of course, he wasn't paying much attention. He was more of thinking of a comeback on her pun. That's why, when she had welcomed him home, he only had a few words to say. "Seems like you're a little short on household help." |

The goddess could never resist a joke here and there. If it amused her, she would keep it up. nothing much else mattered except for her own personal amusement. And she was one to shift on a whim too. Definitely one that people had to be careful around. Just like now, when the lancer made a counter joke at her expense. It would be too easy to blow him apart. However, Kioku was in a fairly good mood this eve. And so he was spared. "Well these days, good help seems to cost an arm and a leg." |

"Well, isn't that a small price to pay to be in the presence of a goddess?" Ark had countered her counter to his counter. It seemed like a harmless game but he was at risk with his neck which he could literally lose if she wished for him to. Nevertheless, he wasn't one to show fear and shiver at the presence of a goddess. Not when he knows he can amuse her. Though, he hoped he doesn't bore her enough to have him blown apart in a snap of a finger. Though, currently, he was starting to run out of puns so he decided to change the subject for a while. What topic would be perfect for the situation? Oh...none. Well, he decided to start with her name instead. "Your name...it means memory...or is it taken from another language I have not encountered?" |

"Ha!" The goddess laughed, slapping a palm against the man's back. "It is so hard to find good help these days. No sense of humor the lot of them." She grinned, an actual non-threatening gesture for once. Stepping past the lancer and hopping deftly atop her throne, she leaned back and lounged. A shrug and a dismissive wave would be given at the mention of her name. "Yes, well, I could certainly give some dramatic pause and a slogan to go along with it. But I'm afraid the humor would be lost on most." In other words, yes, her name meant that. Btu she could care less. As she was sure it came as a shock to most, she had actually been born normally and given a name like most children born were. Ah but such was a life she long since cast aside, since her arrival in Avalon. |

That slap on his back made him nervous there for a second. He thought he'd be separate into several pieces of body parts. He felt fragile before her which was a bit embarrassing to admit. Which means he'll never let her know that though he doubt she'll never find out. Well, she confirmed, a bit confusingly, that her name did mean memory. However, she seemed not too all excited for such a name so he just let the topic fall. He gazed around her temple for a bit and decided to ask her something. Whether she found it hilarious or not was up to her. "Do you have a kitchen somewhere? I cook. Yes, you heard me. I cook." |

A brow would raise. So after all that, he just wanted to be a chef? Then she laughed. "If you could find one. You're welcome to it. As you can see however, my temple is just a cave." She grinned. "Unlike the other gods and their mighty temple... war. Is simply the den of the wolf." In truth however, she had her plans. Soon, when she felt like getting around to it that is, she would alter her domain. Foe the moment however she was busy gathering followers. A lesson had been learned in her last war. She did need others to win. Unless she just made everything dust. But there was no fun in that. "Eh. You could make a cook fire anywhere you want." |

There was no kitchen. ... There was no kitchen! Well, it seemed foolish to ask as it seems. As she had said, her temple was only a cavern and nothing more (except that it belonged to a divine being) and nothing less. Well, this was....fun. It seemed as he was stuck to making small fires on his own. "I guess you prefer campfire cooked food then," He called out then walked around trying to find a nice spot to cook. He may not need sustenance as he was now locked in a prime state as a ghostliner. Still, he was one to savor the taste of a nice meal and by what he had said, he was indicating that he was going to cook for her. Strange, yes. New to him, no. To her, probably. |

Her tone grew serious, though retained its edge of casualty. "I don't require food." Ever since she had become immortal, she no longer required sleep, food, or any of the basic needs. Of course, that did not stop her from partaking of the finer things of life, even though her body did not require it. Good food and the drinks were much appreciated by the Goddess of War. "If you are as good a cook as you say you are however, I enjoy a good meal regardless of the time of fire it be cooked over." She grinned. "Of course it is always nice to find my followers useful for something other than throwing into battle against mine enemies." |

"You can serve them some food spiked with poison," Ark kidded around a nefarious thought. It was a mere joke but that tactic was something he had used a couple of time back then when he was still...human. It was strange to see a follower make a home in the Goddesses temple only to search for a place to cook. From his eyes, the outside was well enough to be able to fetch ingredients from. Ah, tasty meals may be made from those item that seem to be exquisite. Finally, the lancer was able to find a small spot that was even enough to make a couple of cooking. He'd have to improvise the instruments though, but that would make the meal more exquisite, would it not? "Yeah...I think my stay here would be enjoyable." |
