Joining

Hasan studies you intently as if weighing and measuring your worth.
Hasan hands you a vial of thin liquid.
Hasan says, // You desire a glorious death?  We shall see how Kali judges you, dracon.  Drink the vial and experience
first-hand the splendor that waits for you in her embrace.  If She deems you worthy, simply tell me what you desire once
again. // to you in Anglic.
You drink your vial of thin liquid.
The vial of thin liquid burns wildly as you swallow the contents in a single swift motion.
You reel, confused and dazed as the slick black liquid makes its way through your body sending waves of painful spasms up
and down your length.  You feel as though your mind is being seperated from your body as your vision darkens and
eventually blackens completely.  An overwhelming sensation of movement replaces the pain that was wracking your form, and
even blind your field of vision is filled with an unending array of stars.  Eventually you feel yourself slow and stop as
your vision once again returns.
As your eyes open you find yourself in the middle of a vast, lush garden.  Males and females of various races, some that
you readily recognize and others that are terribly alien, lounge among the colorful flowers and luxuries here.  They
ignore you completely as you wander the garden, either too caught up in their personal hedonistic pursuits or completely
oblivious to your existence.  As you approach the center area, a black-skinned woman catches your gaze, and slowly
approaches.
The woman slides her robe to the floor as she reaches you, the taut muscles of a warrior barely restrained beneath her
glistening black skin.  She stretches opulently revealing four slender arms which move to caress your body as she gazes
intently into your eyes for just a moment; a moment that feels like eternity.  You tremble violently in her arms, a
primal sensation of fear and loathing bubbling up to the surface of your soul.  At the moment when you can bear no more
she releases you, save your left claw, which she kisses gently, sending shivers of unchecked lust through your being. 
You black out once again and find that you are exactly where you were as if nothing at all had happened.
You are now a first-degree specialist in anatomy, awareness, combat reflexes, dirty fighting, massive blow, streetwise,
tactics and throwing.
You are now a second-degree specialist in dagger, dodge, find weakness, killer instinct, poison lore, precision strike
and sword.
