About an hour had passed and Shin lay exhausted, finally making it all the way upstream. His limbs worn out and aching as he lay on his back gasping for air, how he had managed to swim for so long amazed him and while panting he smiled inwardly before sitting up. The gem still clutched firmly in his hand, he lightens the area.
As a large frown forms on his face, he walks up to the familiar pond, the color now a murky red color. The smell was horrid and the water now thick as the water he found Sen''s body in. The waterfall still continued to fall into the growing cesspool. With a deep sigh, Shin places the gem in the sewage, and as the pool brightened to the crystal blue the room began to glow. Tired and hungry he drinks from the now purified water, which to his surprise had a fishy taste to it.
What started as small sips turned to mouthfuls as he swallowed the water, fully satisfied the familiar ring resounds in his head.
"Ding!"

Stenchling - Maturity 72]
stenchling the muscles in its legs bulged as if beckoning him to try.
Stenchling jumps towards him face first, jaws wide open, it''s speed as it shot through the air was a blur. The unexpected attack sent Shin into a cold sweat as he tilts to the side. One of the crooked teeth skidding across his chest as if it were made of paper, falling to the ground he scrambles to his feet only to be rammed in the stomach, the crackling of ribs echoes throughout the room.
Stenchling all cheering beckoning their leader to finish me off.
stenchlings to loudly snicker to themselves as the Alpha pumps up the crowd, as his jagged mouth widens he fliestowards Shin, his eyes filled with hunger.
stenchlings teeth as it draws in on its final approach.

stenchling being engulfed by a white light from within, it was a warm glow which reminded him of the gem. The surrounding stenchling froze as they watched their leader being swallowed by the warm light, a few of them even began to tremble attempting to cover their eye''s. The light slowly dimming the size of the alpha fish significantly decreases before the light completely faded.
fishflopped up and down, all the stenchling circling the area watched as their helpless leader struggled to survive on land, before taking his final flop and dying. The area grew quiet, as the remaining Stenchling army stared at their former leader before turning to Shin. His eye''s determined and unafraid after witnessing the strength of his ability, the appearance of a desperate yet unyielding man stared back at them, raising both hands at them.
stenchling began shouting one thing.
Stenchling gobbled like turkeys while running as far away from him as possible, some even jumped in the water causing them to revert back to normal fish anyway. After about 30 seconds the room was cleared out, and Shin sat in a daze. Picking up the dead fish, while clutching his chest he slowly started to smirk, it was his first victory against the prison he was in.
