Madam Moura Deuce was the greatest chef in the entire Milky Way galaxy. Her highly regarded 5 star restaurant, Equinox, catered the tastebuds of many tongues of races from thousand planets, infact she always keen of experimenting with new dishes. This time, she was trying to make "Ashura", a dish that has been included in the list of the most delicious dishes in galaxy. It was an exotic soup made from a fin of Rodin, a giant mythical sea animal, looked like a mixed between dragon and shark, a very rare being lives in the sea of Planet Oru, a planet where heavy rain always falls all the time.
"Did you just say it's impossible?"
"Yes Madam. No hunter foolish enough to hunt Rodin especially with the rain at Oru."
Moura refused to surrender.
"There must be a way to get the fin."
"I know a man who can do it. But the problem is he is in prison now for a petty theft."
All eyes on Bon Noir, an old almost retired cleaner.
Garr Pax, a fallen hunter, now a petty thief, was bailed out and approached by Moura to find a Rodin's fin. He was very reluctant at first, but after a huge sum of money was promised.
"One hundred million Zeral. No less than that. Deal?"
Moura replied bitterly.
"Deal"
Flew with Valhalla, his old spaceship, he arrived at Oru. As advertised, a grim rainy day indeed.
"Great"
He brought a dagger with him and a snorkeling equipments. Garr closed his eyes. One hundred million Zeral appeared in his mind. He dived straight to the deep sea.
As he learnt before, Rodins always hide themselves in the core of Oru, not a magma, but a sea. A sea under the sea was the habitat of Rodins. After a while, He spotted the hole and entered in. He fell to the dry land and as far as he scanned, it was a horizon of sea. He realised he was at the core of Oru.
He dived again to the second sea and swam around the area. After a long time, he almost ran out of oxygen and Rodin was nowhere to be found. All of the sudden, he remembered, the same as shark, was attracted to blood. He slit his hand with the dagger & his blood spreaded out like swarms in the sea.
A huge Rodin came after his blood.
"Wow, so this is the real Rodin.
Well, it's certainly not one of his good days."
He swam towards it and tried to cut its fin. The Rodin spotted him and shook its fin in anger. It hit Garr just like a ping pong ball. He hit the rocks and unconscious.
"Where am I?"
"You are at the land of the second sea. It's been 3 days."
A mermaid lady, slithered in the sand to move around and brought him a bowl.
"Drink"
Garr drank from the bowl. It was a soup. His taste buds never felt something like it before.
"What is this?"
"My people call it Ashura, made from Rodin's fin."
He glanced around and drank the soup again greedily.
He knew he was tasting heaven.
