He looks at Drax, his eyes dancing. "Drax- >I owe you a lot now- you don't know how long I've wanted to be free of this >stupid ring- yes, Drax, your gift has made me one happy Draga!" He places the >two rings on the table. "Drax, now I really owe ya. If ya need a good warrior, >anytime, just give ol' Meshtak a ring. I'll be there anytime." He makes a sign >with his hands that anyone that knew Dragas would recognize as a Draga heart- >pledge. > Drax returns the gesture, smiling as he does so. "I will remember your words, friend. Here, take this." Drax reaches into the gauze around his body and pulls out a smal obsidian figure of a black panther. "For those who have knowdledge of my past, this will enable you to pass them without danger. Although I do not feel any debt is owed, I will accept your will. I would rather think of it as gifts between friends, with no tallies kept. As well, I may not last long enough for you to aid me, but that only time will tell." ---Drax
