Night had fallen.

The human was in a cave in the Badlands, resting before his initiation.

'How did my life get this bad anyway? Oh yeah, its when that dreaded princess found me in the forest. Its all because of here that my life had gotten so bad' thought the human.

'Well, its no use complaining about it now. I'll just have to make the best of it' he thought to himself. He was resting from his two day journey, thinking about how his life had gotten so bad. Before he heard Hezaelio shout, "hey Monkey! Were ready!"

The human lifted himself to his feet, and walked deeper into the cave where he had been called.

Upon entering deeper into the cave, the human saw the three dragons, all of them sitting in a circle.

The human entered the circle and sat in the center, as the three dragons exhaled their flames, forming a circle around the human.

Once that was finished, Dovahkiin said, "today we have a rather, peculiar creature entering our ranks today. This creature claims to be a human, the only one of his kind! But today this creature will not only be a human, but a brother to the dragons! From this day forward! He will take part in our missions, and do as he is told! He will help us achieve our dreams of wealth, without disobeying! He will follow every command, every order, every task! Human! Do your agree that you will follow our orders and not disobey!"

"I agree" said the human.

"And do you agree that you will do as you have promised, and give us our wish?" Dovahkiin asked.

"I agree" said the human.

"And do you agree to remain faithful to us, and will always be there for us when we need you?" Dovahkiin asked.

The human smiled sinisterly, "I agree" he lied.

"Then from this day forward you will be an official member of the League of Claws! Rise and accept your mark, brother-"

The human rose to Dovahkiin, and whispered his name to him. Dovahkiin chuckled, "I like it, no wonder you wanted to wait and make it a grand entrance! From this day forward, the human will be accepted as an official member of our ranks!" Dovahkiin took a metal "X" from behind him (the human had no idea where he was keeping it) and exhaled his flames onto it, until the "X" was a fire red and orange. He then slapped the "X" onto the humans right cheek, burning the mark into him permanently. The human screamed, and panted as the "X" was removed. He felt his right cheek, which now had an "X" shaped scar.

"Welcome to the League of Claws! BROTHER DAWN BREAKER!" Dovahkiin shouted, as he and the other dragons clapped for the human. "Is there anything you'd like to say brother?" Dovahkiin asked.

The human slowly lifted to his feet, looking around and giving all of his new "brothers" a very evil and sinister smile.

"When do we depart?" asked Dawn Breaker.
