“Welcome everyone at the appraisal ceremony! I am Donatello dragon heart, and I am the Head priest of the temple. I will now give a brief explanation what will happen at the ceremony. When I call your name, you and your family will go with me or on of the other priest here towards a private room where you will get your beginners package from the gods. Maybe you will even be selected as an heir from an archetype or if you are extremely lucky a faction. The first ones who will get to go are Saskia and Jason heart fire, you two will leave with me after i finished reading the first batch of people.” Jason can't help smiling when he heart some familiar terms like archetypes and factions.

When they enter the room, Jason sees a similar machine as the one he used on earth, only it looks a bit more advanced. The priest instructs Saskia to go first and lay her hand on the machine while trying to clear her mind. Saskia places her left hand on the machine and enters a trance, at that moment the machine lit up. When the light show dims down, Saskia is gone.
