The Embrace:
The Embrace was not discussed much during Jasmine's tutelage as a ghoul. Danvir told her as few times as could be counted on one hand, "Kamara, if you prove worthy, you will become feared, a force of reckoning."
Those words rang in her ears the night he came to her, smiling twistedly carrying a red hot poker that he must have fashioned for the occasion. Two of Danvir's attendants bound her limbs, for a reason that was beyond her comprehension as she tried to digest that Danvir was going to brand her with that thing. She was so distraught at the sight of it, she did not reaction with the still serene reaction he must have been expecting. That lack of serenity did not stop him from what happened next.
Pain. It elevates you to new heights. It brings you to new lows. Every new experience is knowledge, and knowledge is both power and strength. As Danvir placed the brand perfectly under her heart, in the area under her breasts, Jasmine knew an experience unlike any previous, and for a moment there was clarity, understanding and purpose. Her new life was beginning, and it was not a life for her benefit. Yet she still had her questions, and she did not understand. Thus began the quest for Enlightenment.
