Arkain chuckles sitting still carefully watching your reactions ready to grab you in case you freak out and try to run away. He nods lightly. "I easily understand why you see it as a weird rule. I would if I was in your position but you haven't heard the ENTIRE story behind the rule."<br/><br/>He can sense you are getting a bit nervous. He quickly remembers you don't need to run you could just teleport yourself away. He speaks very calmly trying to keep you calm. "Just hear me out before you jump to any conclusions, please, OK?" Arkain sighs lightly. "Yes, under normal circumstances being eaten and digested would mean death but normal circumstances do not apply here at this watering hole. I told you how the food supply would be wiped out if something wasn't done and we came up with the initiation. You see the unique part about the initiation is that anyone who is initiated by me is fully reformed just as they were but what they also gained is my magical protection. What that protection means is  anyone who gets eaten by anyone here they are reformed. They don't die. That way also the food supply stays in balance. A pred can eat as many prey as he wants and the number of prey will stay the same thus eliminating the need to fight over food because of its ample supply." He shrugs his shoulders and smiles. "You see that is the reason everyone who stays here is safe."<br/><br/>He sighs a little. "Now this part you may find harder to like. Please just hear me out. To answer digested by what. Well, its being eaten by me." He puts his hand up. "Please hear me out. I know what I am saying goes against everything you may believe but what I am saying is the truth. Everyone who is here has been reformed by me, except Natchia, he was reformed by the elder dragon. Zearo and his friends have all been safely reformed and as you can see they are all perfectly fine." He smiles lightly. " I sure the whole idea sounds terrifying and you probably want to run way screaming, let me tell you one of the main reasons let me digest and reform them."
