He was summoned. He was summoned...for she was hungry. Well, that seemed a waste of his talent...NOT. As Ark had bragged to her, he can prepare for her some meals that may be to her liking. Though, he didn't realize that she'd go and summon him for the food. Ah, but he was prepared! Recently, he had been taking some fresh meat into a small space in her temple, making it his place to stay whenever he needed to rest or stay in her temple. He got a couple of crates and some ice and placed the meat there. If any other follower would see him, they'd point and laugh. He'd point his fingers and thrust. Well, tonight was a some strips of pork, salted and marinated with a bit of coca leaves and cooked over live fire. He wouldn't go as far as bring in a whole kitchen, though, he may ask her for one if he got too tired of it. He placed the crispy strips on a plate and brought it to her. "Err...I forgot what they called this but...enjoy!" |

Many times had people assumed that because the goddess was immortal, they had no need for sustenance. Like anyone else however, the lady war enjoyed a good meal and drink, and quite often catnapped. In truth she could survive with no sleep and no nourishment, but it did nothing to quell the growl in her belly. Hell, the war goddess was a predator. She did enjoy a good roast now and then. Recalling the lancer's bragging about his expertise, the goddess deemed it necessary for him to cook. Anyways, he kept pestering her about his recipes, she figured she might as well see just how true his words were. Lounging in the crystal 'throne' carved in the midst of the stairs, she watched him set up his cooking fire. Though she had no need to 'learn' how to cook, it sufficed in keeping her attentions for the time being. (Honesty though, with her power, she could just summon up whatever she wished.) She did nap briefly however as her chef follower finished cooking. But the scent of simmering food snapped her awake. As her held out a plate for her, she only showed a brief grin in return. "Well, your bragging may not have been just talk after all." With that she took a bite of fried pork, abruptly recalling what it really was. And laughed. "You made bacon!" |

Hah! It seems like he was able to impress the goddess. Though, he had no idea what the dish was that she had told him. He may have heard of it before but he did not know of it. "Call it what you wish. I'm just glad it pleases you to a level you haven't blown me to bits yet." He told her teasingly before he had gone back down to his little workshop and started to cleave the meat off the pork legs that he had brought in. These seemed well for roast. He smirked a bit as he made a marinade of garlic, coca leaves and other spices and herbs that he had with him. He placed them in a container and poured in some clean water and some fermented coconut vinegar. He dipped the meat in and let it settle for a while. In the meantime, he leaned against the wall and gazed at the goddess, wondering if she was indeed enjoying the meal he had for her. |

Well, whatever. It was what the dish woudl be called now. "Not bad, I may keep you around yet." She wondered for a moment how happy it made him that she was enjoying the food he prepared for her. Wait .... did she care? Maybe she did a little. The goddess wasn't so stone like and heartless as she made herself out to be. Certain people did strike her as worthy of having around. Hell she even had a few friends. True they were as much death dealers as herself, but ... great minds think alike, eh? She ate the plate of food offered to her with little ceremony, and soon cleared the entire dish. Licking a hand clean she tossed the plate in Ark's direction. "Heh. Yeah yeah you can gloat now." |

She will keep him around yet? Ark can only laugh a bit nervously. She was joking...wasn't she? Well, it was a good thing that she'll keep him around. He wasn't in the mood to crossover just yet. That is, if there is an afterlife. But either way, he didn't wish to die just yet. Aha! He can gloat. Which means that she was appeased with the meal he had served her. Oh, but that was just the start. "I'm not yet finished...that is, if you are still hungry," He told her in a teasing manner. Risky it was to tease a goddess, yes, but he found it amusing and she had a sense of humor. That enough alone gave him a wee bit of courage to play along. |

Though the goddess knew she was, pun intended, putting the fear of god in the man, she thought it well to keep him on his toes. In times before she had shown favor upon a follower and they let it go to their heads. Eventually they tried to best her. Now they were dead or simply missing. Of course, with this one she could always bring him back minus some important mental function and use him as her personal servant. A zombie cook! How Quaint! Lucky for him no doubt, she did not laugh at this thought and kept the thought to herself. Lounging back in her throne, she kicked her heels up and let her gaze draw to his. "I'm always hungry." Teasing too? Well, she was in a good mood today. Good food made everything better, didn't it? |

Always hungry. That's what the goddess had told him. By the tone of her voice, he could mistake that she was teasing. Of course, Ark had already had a boost of courage. He was a bit more confident in regards to speaking with the goddess. He smirked as he started to roast the meat he had prepared for her. Of course, he used the two spears he had to roast it. Though, it did feel a bit hot on the hands, he just went on with his work as he cooked the meat to a fine and delectable crisp. He smirked and placed it on a flat clean slab and started to chop the meat into cubes. It was then he placed the slab on the open flames, heating it and making an improvised cooking utensil. He was not yet finished, however. As he cooked and let the slab heat up, he doused the meat in marinade and cracked two eggs on top of it. The two eggs cooked on top of the meat and the marinade boiled the flavor into the meat, making its flavor more savory. "Would you prefer I feed you?" He teased the goddess as he placed a sharpened stick about a foot long so she could pick out the meat and eggs. Though, he can also feed her if she wished. He had no choice if she commands it anyway. |

Already one could forsee that this ... mutual relationship ... was to be quite different than Kioku's usual interaction with people. Hey, he got to live and she had a personal chef! Of course, the goddess hated weakness, and would not allow the lancer, cook or no, to become some sniveling, bowing and scraping follower drooling over her bootheels! In fact the goddess would developed more grand plans for him. And that was not just including his affinity for the arts of good cooking. "You'd like that eh?" Self absorbed? Ah yes but she could afford to be. Anyways, who would not enjoy such attentions from a goddess? Wait, don't answer that, we wouldn't want Kioku annoyed by any smart little quips now would we? She smirked, resuming a longing position atop her throne. As her chef completed serving her meal, the goddess took the platter from his hands. "No no, that will not be necessary." This was said with a sly smirk, before she took her first bite of the meal. The result was quite uneventful. However, she gave him a praise that few ever received. A brief laugh and a slap on the shoulder. "You're pretty good at this, eh?" |

"I'm not really sure. I've never tried feeding a goddess before," He chuckled lightly and just let her to her meal. She may have tolerated his teasing but that was just it. Tolerated. He wouldn't want to anger the very being that held his very existence in her very hand, would he? Very. He just let her eat in peace and went back to the little stand that had temporarily become his kitchen. He grinned slightly at the comment that the goddess had given him, knowing well that it was an honor to be complimented. "I wouldn't brag if I can't prove it. Well, if you prefer, you can have something freshly hunted and killed next time. I've know that those have tasted better," He told her as he started to tidy up the place, not having much ingredients left to fix her up a meal. The ice smelled of meat so it was in no way possible to be used as dessert. Oh, well, he'll be making it net time then. "So does this mean I get to cook everyday for the goddess?" He was tempted to say more but he wouldn't want to say anything that would get him thrown into a wall or something. |

Of course, she would not let a meal such as this go to waste. Not only had the man proved himself worthy of sticking around her temple, but of living too. How nice of her. Well the war goddess could be quite benevolent if she wanted to. It was just that most people who came crawling to her for requests were .... weak .... not worth her time. But she could sense potential in this guy, and something beyond just the capability for cooking a good meal. "Yes, yes. Though I suppose better grounds for culinary arts are needed, no?" She chuckled lightly, before standing and walking to him. Sliding over the now quite empty place, she slipped her hands into her belt. Ah, yes, indeed the goddess of war would feast better than the kings! |

"Oi, Just because I cook well doesn't mean I can't fight," Ark suddenly called out in defense. He then laughed a bit. While it was true that he can cook well, he was also proud of the fact that he can fight as well if not much more. Why would he be ganged up in the first place if he wasn't a big threat? He puffed out his chest a bit in pride, trying to impress the goddess in his ways. Of course, it was always good to have a goddess's blessing and benevolence. Ark however, was not one to grovel and beg. He has his own ways. Be it cooking for fighting. "Yeah, but that's easy to handle. I can probably find some cheap equipment or I can bet against the finest chef's for their cutlery. I doubt I'd lose," He replied and chuckled to himself. Well, that was enough ego bloating for the day. "Well...I've had my ego inflated and I feel stress free now," He admitted to her that he had an egotistic moment. He was carried away! Well, he expected her to have a sense of humor anyway. He was also starting to think she kicked his head while he was still dead. |

The goddess laughed, almost bringing up the point that when they had met he had been dismembered and decapitated. But she left the matter alone for now, it would only serve to motivate her to do something drastic. Like ... create more puns! Ha! Of course, she knew he had potential. As good a cook as he was Kioku didn't keep someone around just because of food preparation skills. War was all about battle and this was what she ... we'll say treasured most. She shrugged lightly at his talk of chefs and buying things. People still did that? Oh yes of course she just had no need of 'money'. Heh. "Eh. If you wish." Her arms crossed as she watched him. For those who did not know the goddess to see her standing her so causal was ... odd, to say the least. But Kioku was hardly ever serious in truth. "Oh I'm so glad I made you feel better." She teased, her tone taking on a playfully mocking edge. |

"What? Were you planning to grace me with your benign...err...benediction?" Ark chuckled slightly to himself as he started to clean out the spears and the things he had used for the meal. He sighed and shook his head. Perhaps it is time that the jokes had stopped. Though, she seemed to be in a pretty good mood. That would be trouble for him. When started to jab him with her puns, she rarely stopped. He wondered if she had some new ones, though. He figured that he's make a couple of retorts regarding her...well, regarding her bit of a vertical measurement. |

Hey, there was no telling what the goddess might do. She was so ... volatile. This was both blessing and curse to those who knew her. Luckily for him however, she liked him. otherwise she would not have taken his dismembered body and brought it back to life. And in one piece too! She snickered slightly, before abandoning her relaxed posture and leaning against one of the large stone steps of the temple. "Or instead of dulling your blade with steaks, a few cooking tools would do." With that she summoned into hand a glimmering pile of gold. But this was not just coin, no, a veritable treasure of culinary utensils had appeared from thin air. With an amused chuckle to too tossed a fine apron across the lancer's neck. it was bedecked with the silhouette of a wolf. "Yes yes much more fitting for the personal chef of War." She quipped with a wink. |

"Somehow, I find it strangely disturbing that I am not surprised," Ark had joked around and chuckled to himself as he examined the fine equipment that she had so benevolently bestowed upon him. While he knew it was impractical to use gold for cooking, he knew better than to ruin the fun of the goddess. Besides, it was at least better to have a couple of time to relax and enjoy themselves a bit. Soon, he'd be sent out again probably and at least he could say that he had a fair bit of rest during the idle times in the temple. He turned around, acting like a woman with a new dress, "Does this make me look fat?" |
