"Congratulations to those who have been selected for our New Moon Sect," the old and wise dragon declared from the podium. "But remember, disciples, this is only the first obstacle on your path to ascension. Study, train, cultivate, and then you can become outer disciples, and eventually, inner disciples. But even this will only be a few steps on your path to immortality." The crowd of novices began to murmur joyfully. "Each of you has received a gift from the sect. A gift that can be either a blessing or a curse, it all depends on you." The dragon smells of fire. "Now go." The crowd in the square began to disperse into the small, two-bed cottages, located quite secluded in the sparse forest. Ignoring the main stream of people wanting to settle closer to the library, the alchemy pavilion, and other important buildings, a young, rather feminine red panda headed toward the more remote two-bed cottages.
