The Island of Destiny
"I'd like to try and get tested for being an arbiter." you tell Tern. He nods in approval and directs you towards a large tent, oddly colored red, purple, and gold.
You enter the tent slowly and you see that Tern nor Bura are following you inside. You then sniff the air and almost cough as you take notice of a strong smell of incense. Sure enough, the tent is clouded with smoke and through the fog, you find your way to the middle of the tent where an older man sits cross-legged on a rug smoking from a hooka.
He gazes at you in almost a dreamlike state and says calmly "You are the new one who was brought to this place."
You nod, unsure of how he would know something like that. He gives you an odd smile and after a few moments, continues.
"Being an arbiter requires a certain focus and will not many possess. To find if you have that quality, you're going to need to pass my initiation test. Do you accept that challenge?"
You again nod your head in agreement. The old man takes a long breath from the hooka, then exhales very slowly.
"Good," he soothes. "Now my first question is quite simple really. What is my name?"
