 No food. There had been no chances to catch anything in days. By this point Shibasa would have been gnawing at one of his own legs, had he the strength or the willpower. As it was the bony lion kept walking slowly through the desert area that he found himself in. He hadn't seen anything other than a bird for hours. That bird, by the way, was still there, circling over his head and off and on calling down to him mockingly. "You should just give up!" the vulture called down to him. "You're not going to find anything out here!" Earlier, when he had the strength for it, Shibasa had yelled back insult for insult. Now, though, he was too weak to even do that. He stumbled, falling forward onto the dry desert ground, wishing he had water. The air around him shimmered, waving with the heat of the day. How had he been so stupid as to wind up out here? Oh, right, he had followed a rabbit. The rabbit disappeared down a hole and Shibasa found himself in a place he had never been before. For a second the rabbit appeared in front of his eyes, plump and delicious looking. Then it laughed in his face before disappearing. He stumbled to his feet again, roaring. "When I find you," he snarled, "I'm eating you and your entire f'ing family! Then your neighbor! And their--their--" The world swayed, accompanied by the sound of the vulture's hysterical laughter, and Shibasa fell, fainting for a moment. He woke just in time to see the vulture land next to his head. He let out a roar, trying to chase it away. He didn't want to be eaten alive! He wanted to EAT something alive! Or dead! He didn't care!

For someone so very large she could move quite swiftly and she did so now, her huge bulk mounting the waves of the dunes, she never slipped, it wa svery unlady like to slip, or seem to be in a hurry, so, though she moved quickly she moved with a grace born of her age and skill at being what she was.
She moved like a very, very large house cat, her walk seemingly unmarred by the fact that she carried more weight than nearly any other creature in the world, not only was she weighty physically but upin every asset of her body twinkled a gem, trinket or swathe of cloth, her back shimmered with a thousand tiny tattos which glowed a deep bloody red and seemed occasionally to change shape, perhaps as the mood took her.
She slowed to an ample, seductive walk as she approached the deep red male, she could admire something she was convinced she would soon own. "Hello my dahling, you seem, terribly lost." she whispers, her voice as smooth as honey to the ears, pitched in a way that was most delightful to hear but at the same time full of the knowlege of her status in this world. After all she was the most glorious goddess on the earth, was she not?

He went still, figuring he had died and the vulture was pecking at a part of his brain, causing him to have hallucinations. Or maybe he was still alive and the vulture was pecking at his brain--
But she cast a shadow over him. Did hallucinations cast shadows? Maybe, he thought, his imagination was better than he had assumed. But really...
"If you eat me," he said pathetically, his voice no more than a hoarse rasp, "could you kill the vulture first?" He really didn't want that b*****d having the satisfaction of seeing him eaten. Even if it was by someone else.
The vulture, though, let out a squawk much like a chicken and took to the air as fast as his wings could take him. He wasn't ABOUT to mess with a goddess!

"Really dahling, one does not have to eat to look this fabulous." She chuckles a low, sultry laugh laying down upon the sand, her forelegs turning under her huge bulk making ehr look like a house cat in her satisfaction and comfort. The only true difference, of course, being that she had wings and too many trinkets to mention.
Flickering her two sets of wings, first the white, then the black, tiny though they were, they twinkled musically. "One thinks my dahling that you require a little help, I am in the buisness of helping." She smiles winningly, awaiting the deep, blood red male to look at her, this was going to be fairly easy, he was desperate for his life.
"I hope the vulture wasn't your friend mys weet, he seems to have flown the coop." She chuckoles quietly her dark, coal black eyes vanishing behind chubby piggy cheeks. "Now my sweet, what is it you so desire? Hmm?"

He looked up at her, now that she was closer to eye level. Then he swallowed, horror turning his blood ice cold for a moment. A goddess. An' effin' goddess. She was pretty, even beautiful, he decided as he tried to get his breath back. She was also terrifying.
But he was almost dead.
His mind flipflopped over his two choices. On one hand he could get involved with a goddess, one he'd never seen before, on the other he could die and be stuck with whatever god controlled hell.
"Water," he rasped out. "And food. I need food." Better the devil you (sorta, well, not really, but she was in front of him!) knew, right? "Lots and lots of food. I'm dying here, lady--er, ma'am--er, goddess?"

Ubuge chuckles quietly "Food and water my love? such simple things, easily done." Her dark eyes flashed and hte illussion of an oasis appeared befor ehim, an illussion with a freshly killed zebra and water of shimmering perfect blue. She lifts a paw and touches his back, a paw so strong it held him to the ground. "I can give you all of this and more little dove, all of this, everything you ever dreamed of." He voice whispers a dark, seductive drawl, the sound of her own longing and greed to own all she could.
"I only require one thing my bloody bat, a small trifle, that only you can provide. A tiny thing and I will take you away from here to this beautiful oasis with it's cold, thirst quenching water, and it's creaturs so easy to kill they enarly fall over before you, yes i see you want it, but i need somehting from you, only a trifle of course." She whispers, a smile pulling at her lips "A drop of your mortal soul."

He tried to move, tried to lunge for the water, but even if she hadn't been a goddess he would have easily be pinned. "Anything," he said rashly, not even truly hearing her through the pounding of his blood in his ears. "Anything you want, just let me--" his paw crept out, claws scratching at the ground. "I'm so thirsty," he whispered. "So hungry."
No! The voices of his family were screaming in the back of his head. Memories of lectures about how you were never to trade with a god or a goddess clamored for his attention. They lost to the gorgeous view in front of him. "Anything," he repeated.

A smile creased her maw, her dark, piggy eyes taking on a shine like a pure glistenign star and from beneath the fox like fur which surrounded her neck she pulled a jar with a golden lid, raking her claws down his back she pulled away a peice of who he was, a drop of his soul which shimmeerd in a cloudy manner before she slipped it in to the odd jar. His back was not hurt, but now she owned a peice of him, he would probably wish she had simply killed him.
pulling him close to her chest she teleports them both to a watering hole, creatures skipped around them as they appeared and she sits grooming her face. "Just remember dahling, you agreed." She purrs looking at the murky water with a chuckle.

His back burned ice cold, and a shiver raked his body before he stumbled to the water, not realizing how murky it was as he dipped his muzzle in to drink. He gulped deeply, drinking as much as he could before being sick to his stomach.
When he lost what he just drank he went to drink again, careful of not overdoing it as he had the first time. Slowly, though, he was starting to realize it wasn't quite the place he had seen in the vision. The water wasn't as good as he had imagined. But there was prey, he though, wiping his muzzle and turning to look at the goddess.
He still didn't want to believe she had cheated him.

She cheated everyone, that was what she was. "You have your deepest want." She purrs and stretches her limbs, her dark, jet black eyes shimmering like tiny black pearls. "Just remember dahling, you asked for it." She smiles and turns to leave him, her tiny wings moving in little twitches and flickers causing an almost musical sound to emanate from her very being.
She walked away as she had come to him, a giant house cat, pleased as punch, the thoughts of the little drop of soul which she now had trapped against her voluptuous busom. One day she would tug on it and he would have to come.
She paused and looked back at the deep red male. "You may follow if you like, My worshipers certainly get a better deal than my haters." She purrs, looking around herself at the resting herds.

"Somehow I get the feeling, whether I follow you or not you'll still be able to find me," he said as the situation settled into his mind. He looked away, letting her go while eyeing the prey around him.
He had almost died in the desert, it was true. And here there WAS food and water, which was, honestly, all he had truly been desiring. But she had lied to him.
To be honest, Shibasa was starting to accept that as a daily occurrence. He pounced an old rabbit, ripping into it with starving teeth. Food was food, water was water. When you didn't have either, even muck like this seemed a feast.
But he wouldn't decide whether to follow Ubuge just yet. He would leave that to when he wasn't starving.
