It is a sad day to lose anyone. Alas, these writers must bid us adieu. 

Rune, Marina Santana, and Ashlynn "Ash" Dawnsinger have gently left the building. Or perhaps the snake was too much for them after all. Until next time, my fair heroes.

The room was cold. The soldiers paced outside. Within, all huddled around the table with anxious breaths. Soon, everything would fall into place.

Soon, it'd all come crashing to the end.

Task

For this wonderful round, you've found yourself deeper into the dungeons. This time, it appears you've found a large open space that mimics an amphitheater. You'll find several decorations that appear almost religious in nature, all haphazardly tossed about the place. Perhaps there are endless candles, incense, still burning flames of the eternal nature, clothes....Or perhaps there's whatever makes the scene look good to you.

But in the center of this place, you will find a small body of water in a man-made pond. Once you look inside, you'll see a beautiful chest that's perfectly unlocked. The only issue?

There's a large, reptilian, water dragon type of beast protecting it. Your scroll will be found in the chest. You will need to subdue this creature in some way.

Ballot Challenges and Challengers:

Kenna, Zhang Jindi, Captain Odette, Aurelia Regis, and Samgar.

For your challenge this time, you will all lose the word "water". Good luck! 

Word Count: 3000 MAX

Ballots: You'll receive one ballot. Use it wisely.
(Send me the name of the person you're giving this ballot to in the email you sent your entry from. Please also include your Wattpad username.)

Due Date: Wednesday, April 19th, at 8 PM CDT.
6PM PDT, 7PM MDT, 8PM CDT, 9PM EDT.

Use your time wisely. Every late entry from here on out loses 1 point per hour it's late. Next round, it will be 1.5 points. You may still ask for an extension, but it will need to be an important situation for this to be granted.
