An interesting choice.

You find yourself dwell a bit on the objects on display. And decide to check the servants from left to right. The first servant holds a selection of crystal balls, typical of a diviner. Some are the classic shape and color you'd expect, and others are not. One is even a dead ringer of a palantier!

You choose to move on, viewing the next servant's selection. Here is a goodly selection of tarot cards of all shapes, sizes, and colors; from the traditional Ryder-Waite to one depicting demons, devils and everything in between.

These as well don't strike your fancy as you move on to the jewelry. You never liked jewelry, it reminds you of the nobles who called you Bastard. The last and final servant has the simplest things on display, from bones, leaves, hand-held mirrors and what not.

You turn to see most of the recruits have chosen an item but you. You feel a bit frustrated but it seems Fate has a surprise for you, and for Nandra. You turn back to the final servant to just pick something so everyone can get some rest. You hold your hand out to see if it would land on something, but then out of the corner of your eye, you spot something.

On the floor, held by no servants for selection, is a simple bowl of water. Like one that's been left out for a cat or other small domesticated pet. It strikes you as strange since you haven't yet seen any animals on campus.

As you approach the bowl, you find your eyes drawn to the clear water. You stand above it, silently, looking at your own reflection... Then, a ripple. In the water shows you an old and wisened Diviner... Using a similar bowl of water. Then another. Yet another. And another! Until... You. With the bowl of water in your hand. A smile plays across your reflected face as it looks back at yourself with clouded eyes.

"My, my. What an interesting choice." Nandra says. "The rest of you may retire for the evening. Come. Take the bowl. There is something I must show you." She beckons, beginning to lead you away. You feel the glare of the other students at your back as you walk with Nandra.
