Lowen is truly a tragic figure in the ranks of Lycia's Knightdom. A master chef blessed by the stars of gastronomy, sporting a faultless taste for spices and recipes, stuck within the relentless winds of battle and war. However, he will find he is not alone this week, for he faces someone who, phantom fish dinner disasters aside, is almost as skilled a cook as he is. The shopkeeper Tia has all the markings of a great housewife and chef, and, for that, she has this lowly cavalier's admiration. But that will not stop Lowen from giving his all in battle! Tia severely lacks the sturdiness for battle that the scruffly-haired horserider boasts, and while she has quite the speed edge on him, this won't matter the minute Lowen scores a Killer Lance critical. The best consolation she can hope for is trading cooking secrets and special ingredients with the knight once the battle's over, though. After all, even in the arena, master chefs stick together!
