Violante Mercy Grinnell, Laurus Enzo, Sebastian Mercier, and Evelyn Gray,  just flashes against the screen. Drake slammed his fist against the table.

"That's fifty--" Amelia didn't even get to finish her words before he stood up. His look was sharper than his nails.

"Oh, stop gloating," he said. "I swear, Fawn's doing this on purpose somehow."

"Yeah probably. Well, I lost one of my cuties too," she said, sighing dramatically. "Shame, really. All the best die."

Drake rolled his eyes and chuckled. "We didn't."

★THE TASK★

A new sun rises, a new day breaks, and six of you are left in the arena. As time grows longer, and allies grow slimmer, your character will find themselves back on the beach once more. This time, they're saying goodbye to the island that has been both their friend and their enemy. The ground is charred and the sand is stained with blood. Feathers and tokens lay scattered beside shells and stones. None of that matters now. What matters is the waves, and the sweet call of the ocean.

In this task, your character must swim out to the small islands that surround the main portion of the arena. These little coves were briefly mentioned in the arena description. The water will wash the blood off your body, but be careful and keep any open wounds covered up. The reason why you leave is up to you, but it is essential that you make it to the coves somehow. Because in the deep water that surrounds them, one final challenge lies in wait.

Call them sirens, for lack of a better term. Creatures with silver eyes and bright smiles that wait in the water just below you. Their appearance is up to you. Perhaps they take the form of a loved one, or simply a nameless beauty, but their call is irresistible. They'll promise you anything. Money, victory, fame, love, knowledge, everything you desire and more. All you have to do is step down into the water. Take their hand. Let them drift you away. But if you do, you won't come up again.
