Arkain smiles. "Hi Ric. Nice to meet you. Your welcome. I appreciate the offer, I am sure  something can be worked out. " He gives you a playful grin.<br/>He looks at the two bigger dragons. "Hi Zearo and Zecel. Always glad to see more dragons."<br/>He turns and nods to Sinol. "Its nice to meet you too Sinol."<br/>He steps forward. "As for becoming a member of our community there is an initiation that everyone who wants to stay must go through. You see when the drought got worse, more  and more people sought refuge here but then the preds came. Some very big preds. " He head guestures towards the big blue dragon out in the lake." Thats when I decided that we a way so everyone, pred and prey, can live here and be safe. I thought hard then I remembered that I can reform anyone I eat and in this small area my magic is strong enough to protect who is eaten by another so they will come back after being eaten. Thats where I came up with the initiation idea. Everyone who wants to stay has to be reformed by me or Umi. He is busy right now, but when he is free, he will be more than willing to help.  Then it will be safe for you here. Everyone here has been through it. You are free to go any time you want. Its totally up to you. If you want to stay, thats great. To be fair, I will the ones that arrived first. The rest just can make yourself comfortable."<br/>He takes a few steps backwards.
