"JABS! That hussy!" I muttered to myself as I wandered the Muse garden. A garden, some fancy water display, plants, a stage, a treehouse..... not what I was looking for. Then I came upon her, a woman in a corner with her back turned to me. I stealthily approached her to observe what she was doing. The woman had a knife in one hand and a whetstone in the other. She was sharpening the knife carefully and talking to herself. "That PoeTxi..... this'll teach her.... she thinks she's so pretty with her blonde hair, flaunting it everywhere! We'll see how she feels when I take it away!" she cackles. I tap her softly on the shoulder and say 'hello'. "WAHHHHHH!!!!" she screams as the knife flies out of her hand and goes right past my head barely missing me. It sails across the garden and lodges itself in the treehouse. While I am mulling over my near death experience, she screams at me, "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?! AND WHY DID YOU SURPRISE ME LIKE THAT?!" I smile and apologetically clap my hands together and bow my head. "Haha apologies my name is Yuki, I am looking for a famous soup maker... I believe her name is Girl?" Her eyes immediately light up "Ha! Finally those filthy commoners recognize that my soups are TRUE ART!" I nod my head "Yeah you're the talk of the town with your soups! I wanted to learn how ya do it" Girl haughtily laughs "Okay okay, I can't say no to an adoring fan" She takes me to a close by kitchen. "Well did you bring any ingredients for me?" I quickly grab some rat meat I had in my bag, "here ya go" "This meat is too fresh!" she exclaims as tosses the meat into the trash. She then begins to dig around the pantry. She locates and lifts a large box from the back and opens the lid. A smell unlike any I've experienced in this world hit my nostrils, I almost lose my balance and fall over. Girl proceeds to pull out a number of unspeakable ingredients from said box and tosses them into a nearby pot of boiling water. She stirs it a bit and increases the strength of the flame. The water slowly turns into a black sludge-like substance. [I will spare the reader the details of the smell; which was magnified through the boiling ;-] Girl proudly pours the concoction into a soup bowl and hands it to me, grinning at me in anticipation. I had prepared for this. I made a motion for a big swig with my right hand holding the soup bowl, while my left hand had a small pebble. As the soup bowl went close to my lips I flicked the rock out of my left hand aiming behind Girl, the rock creates a large CLANG sound as it bounches off the large steaming pot of soup. "What was that!" Girl quickly turns around to find the origin of the sound. I take this moment to deftly pour a portion of the soup into a hidden container I had ready in my robes. I take the rest of the soup and press it against my lips being careful to not imbibe any. As she turns back around, I put the soup bowl down. She sees the soup on my lips, "Well how was it?". I feel the liquid slowly burning the my lips and the skin surrounding my mouth, "Amazing..." Girl wears a sly look on her face, as she fills another soup bowl. With a large 'HAWK TUAH' she spits into it. She gleefully says "I need to find PoeTxi, she must try this soup!" Turning to go I take this opportunity grab the back of her dress before she prances away. "Wait!" | |
