Jarrett smiled to the others, nodding to Keith and using the key to open Sazael's cell. "My name is Jarrett, everyone. We don't have much time.. I'm sure Serena will be waiting for us in no time." He unlocked the door opposite of the one that Julius and Abigale had exited.
Serena was indeed waiting; Her skin tight dress showed the upper parts of her breasts, exposing the vial of ashes around her neck. She nodded to everyone, handing out an envelope to everyone that entered the room. "The next task is quite easy and will be awarded with shillings." She looked to Jarrett, nodding. "Open it."
Jarrett did as he was told, slightly tearing open the envelope and looking inside. There was a hand written instruction on the thin piece of paper. "I'm not sure what it is.."
Serena giggled, nodding and pushing her blue hair behind her shoulder. "Precisely. You all will be split up into three groups for this task. Beyond this door are three swimming pools filled with blood. All groups will need to retrieve twenty onyx gemstones. That means each person will have five a piece.. But there is a catch. The blood is so thick that you will not be able to see. If you pass five minutes without finding a gemstone, another person from your team will need to try and find them. Do not throw the gemstone's away, though.. Those will be used for the next task. But there's a catch - Since there are an uneven amount of prisoners, I had a beloved member step forward to help you... He's quite quick, so one team already has an advantage."
She smiled to the group, opening the door and letting Julius inside, he nodded to the group, grabbing an envelope and sighing. Serena shut the door, locking it slowly. "Good luck, everyone. You too, Julius."
Julius opened his envelope, smiling quietly to himself and humming. This was the type of task he loved the most; Blood gave him power and energy.
