* You sit down to commune with the lizard, and as you open yourself you're
practically pulled into the being in front of you.
<Amy> Wow..
* You look out from the lizard's eyes and you see a man perched over you. 
Behind him is a large rock covered with writings.  You seem to be indoors, but
the lighting is more steady than a candle or lantern would give, though it
doesn't feel natural.
* The man speaks in a language you do not understand, and you hear others
speaking back, many of them.  One will say something, the man over you will
answer, and then another will say something else and the cycle repeats.
<Amy> Hm..
* He gestures wildly as he speaks, often writing on the stone behind him with
another stone.
* Then, without stopping his flow of speech, he picks you up and sets you up
higher on a large flat surface.  It's cold, very cold.
* You get a view of your claws, and they are green.
<Amy> ...
* You can now see the people who were talking with the man, and they are many. 
A dozen students, at least, all taking notes frantically.
<Amy> Is.. this a school?
* The man puts his hands on you, still talking steadily, and there is [PAIN]. 
Your world goes black.
<Amy> Gaaaa!
<Amy> W-what happened?
* A few moments later, the pain recedes.  You look up, and then down.  You are
still in the classroom, but when you look down, at what you can see of your
body, your scales are now reddish.
<Amy> W...weird.
* Much time passes, though you have no real concept of it.  You're kept with
others like you, and men and women come to harvest the scales you shed every so
often.  You don't shed in large spurts anymore, but rather at a constant pace.
<Amy> This is really weird..
* Then a man comes to you and separates you from your kind.  You're taken,
alone, to a large cache of strange objects.  The man joins several others like
him, and they begin chanting rhythmically.  Everything goes dark.
* You get a sense of much time passing, aeons of time, but nothing happens to
the blackness.  Then suddenly, something changes.  You open your eyes, and
everything has changed.  Much of the cache is gone.  You go outside of the cave
that stored the cache and there is nothing but desert where there was fertile
land and ocean.
<Amy> Wow...
* Time passes, and you make your way across the desert, searching for any of the
men who made you, but you do not find them.  Many things attempt to eat you, but
are deterred by your razor sharp scales.
* You take up residence for a short time in a small hole, and then you see the
group approach.  You look out at them and you see Amy cut by one of your shed
scales.  Then she beckons to you, and you approach.
She settles down into a comfortable position and reaches out to you...
* And you snap out of your trance.
