The sun was getting lower in the sky as Mrost set off towards the Firekin lands, he had left Hakan something to eat, cleaned the blood off his fur and armour, then set off once again. He was going to go see if he could find this princess who demanded to see a god. Mrost wasn't shy to appear before the mortals and only hid himself if he was in an uncertain situation or needed to manipulate someone.
As it was he strode across the cooling sands with effortless grace, his armour clinking with every step, his back spikes moving along with his spine at each step. He was in no hurry, if he didn't meet this dark female today he'd come back tommorow. When you had a few hundred years to burn you could afford to take your time.
He yawned broadly and scanned the horizon again.

Koka was perched atop a dune. The hot sand trickling away from under her paws but she paid no head to the tiny grains. Instead her mind was on what that Raa had said to her earlier. Could he truly have been in the lands on behalf of a God? How could that be? There was only one God and she was Finar-si, at least that's what she had been taught. Had her lessons all be nothing but lies or were they just simply one-minded perceptions? It was all to overwhelming for the young cub to try to conceive. If there truly was a God who could offer her power would she betray her Firekin brethren and her teachings to gain such power? Well that was a silly question, of course she would! She would gain her power no matter what it would cost her. Mabe this strength that has been promised to her could take her places further than that of one measly pride. Now that was a wonderous thought.
A smirk spread across her maw as claws dug into the sand. The grains of earth sinking between each digit. Oh, how to loved the desert. It had so many secrets and beauty much like herself. Now if only she could gain the strength that the death land had. To take the life of a creature without care and with ease was something that Koka wanted to posses but at her current size it was not feasible. Besides, how many followers would she have in th epride after murdering her older siblings? Now that was a question that had bothered her for some time. Ah well, she'd deal with that when the time came.
As Koka pondered her situation she took no heed to the large armoured form moving across the desert. The wind was hittin gher in the face doing her no favor in carrying the God's scent to her sensitive nose.

It was after a few moments that Mrost spotted the dark figure on one of the dunes not far away. He raised a brow, surely there weren't any other cubs in the pride with fur like that? He smirked and sauntered that little bit faster, his tail just brushing the sands with each step.
When he had moved within clear veiw of the female, only then did he speak.
"You doubted my follower's word and here I am. Mrost, god of War." he frowned. "Do not waste my time. Do you have ambition and a will to dominate others? If not then run home to you pride, you are worthless to me."
His grin returned. "If so, there are things I could aid you with."

Koka startled at the voice and spun around, tail in the air, body low and teeth bared. How dare someone sneek up on -her-. They were going to pay the....pri..ce...oh...
"So -you're- Mrost." Koka said with fake strength. Just the sight of this monster lion would send anyone into quaking fear, especially when you were Koka's size, but the young lioness wouldn't allow her limbs to tremble oh no. If she wanted to prove that she was worth this strength then she would not be able to show weakness.
Taking a deep breath she relaxed her form and returned to a comfortable sitting position with her head held high. The tip of her tail beat gently against the sandy ground as she looked much the regal princess that she was. "Yes I doubted but I doubt now more now that you have shown yourself which is more than I can say about my Goddess Finar-si." She paused for a moment taking in Mrost's giant armored form again. "I have ambitions ar greater than I possibly persue at this moment. Domination of this pride is what I want." But why stop there? She thought to herself with a grin. "Anyway, what could you do to -aid- me in my quest. I see you and now I believe in your being but what power could you give me to help me along in my quest." She paused. "And what will you want in return. Nothing comes for free I know very well."

Mrost eyed Koka critically, indifferent to her regal demeanour, he had come across creatures so blinded by their egos that they could not even see what was right in front of their noses, ego often came as part and parcel of greatness, it made no difference to him. She could behave as her nature dictated, it would not phase him. War was indifferent to rank.
He sat down casually, his own bladed tail curving around to rest at his forepaws, his slitted eyes fixed on her.
"Ambition is a powerful thing. It persists through the years and the more one cultivates it, the more ones exterior will grow to show what lies within. You will not be young forever."
He shrugged "As for what I can do for you, I'm no a salesman, I don't carry a catologue of my services around with me." smirking he added "But unlike many gods my powers lie in the purely tangible realms, the arts of battle, torture, strategy, all the traits of those who tread the path of war are mine. I often dispense such learning to those who choose to follow me. In addition there will be opportunity to become part of a new world order, lion who live for the fight, live for glory." he slammed a paw onto the sand with a massive thud "And crush anyone who would stand in our way." he grinned darkly.
"As for the catch." he raised a paw "The only catch is that you cannot give up that ambition that drives you, your goal. There will be no turning tail and fleeing like a coward back to an easy life. If you did so things would become, shall we say...difficult for you. War has consequences."
He shrugged casually "But if you choose to turn me down this time, there will be no second chances, no second offer, you will be left to your own devices in the very lap of those you hate. All that would remain would be the hollowness of royalty without hope of ascension." He got to his feet again.
"You would be queen of nothing. With me, you could be something greater than a queen, a warrior."

Koka eyes Mrost with an uneasy gaze. He promised much and most of it greatly inticed the young Firekin princess but would he deliver? Now that was the question. On the other hand though, he was a God and Gods have to keep their promises, correct? Kinja couldn't see a reason as to why this God would just wish to entice her with such a wonderful offer then not give her what he promised. It was certainly worth a shot. One didn't rise to power without taking chances, though she wasn't sure whether the title of warrior could be considered one higher than that of queen. That would be debateable.
"You speak of things that have caught my interest so I shall accept your offer." She smirked. "You have no need to worry about me loosing my ambition. As long as I live I shall seek power and strength for one can't be held without the other." Violet eyes twinkled with an unknown malicious desire.

"So be it" Mrost stated "By accepting my offer you have now gained a wealth of, should we say, contacts? I have many who I would consider followers and others who I can ask for favours. When your strength is at it's peak, they will aid you in claiming what is rightfully yours, this throne you desire so dearly.." he smirked "But yes, your acceptance pleases me, princess, firekin have so much potential built into their genetics. You will go far."
Getting to his paws again, he held his bladed tail out behind him. "For now I will leave you but your word is your bond, I will be able to find you again when I need to. There are choices you will have to make then, wether to stay in the sands and know only your family and their family or wether to venture to the world beyond the sands and further your knowledge, your skills and inevitably your dangerousness."
He waved a paw "But as I say, those decisions lie ahead, for now your word is enough." he paused "Oh, and before I forget, your name?"

Yes, what is rightfully hers shall be within her grasp. Now all that keep her from her goal was time, and that wasn't something she could speed up as much as her body ached for it to occur. This pact with the God of War would bring her what she truly wanted.
Lifting her head up with a smirk she replied to the God. "Koka. Koka is my name." Violet eyes blazed with an inner fire that had been fed more wood. It now had something to grasp onto instead of just burning hot embers. The young princess now had something that could help her obtain her goal. She -would- be queen one day. No matter what the cost.
