Arkain sighs contently. Its a hot day. He lays in the cool shade of a tree feeling very relaxed. He feels sorry for anyone caught out in this heat. His stomach growls a bit. He thinks to himself, its been a while since anyone new has come to the watering hole. The drought sure hasn't eased up any from what he has heard. He sighs hoping things will change. The wind starts to pick up and he sniffs the air. He suddenly catches a new scent. A large snake female but something is strange about the scent. He can hear it approaching now and he can easily tell its heading for the water. He quite sure the snake will be going down the well  traveled trail to the water is the fastest way to it. He quickly stands up and stands in the middle of the path. He stands tall with his arms crossed facing towards the direction of the approaching snake. The rules are Anyone who wants a drink of water has to go through the initiation and he is one of the ones who enforces the rule.
