Arkain smiles as you sit next to him remaining very casual but he knows what he says next may shock you and you might try to run off so his tail stays close to you acting like it wants to stay next to you to prevent that. "You see this initiation is something that I require that they do if they want to stay here. If they choose not to they have to immediately leave. No exceptions. You see what the initiation does it allows my magic to protect everyone that is here from harm or even being eaten. With no other food source nearby we start attacking each other and the last one standing would starve to death. You see no matter who gets eaten after being initiated my magic will reform them back to full health." He sits up and chuckles. "Of course there is a small catch. To be initiated they first have to be reformed by me and I am sure you have already guessed what that means. " He pats his belly and grins. " Using magic does come at cost. Now before you panic. I can assure you I have done this many many times and I do it so it is not painful. So its up to you my friend. Those are your options. What would you like to do?"
