Extended until November 11

Scratched and muddy, you tiredly stumble into a large clearing. A large pool of dark, almost black water fills most of the area with a small island at it's center. You see footprints in the mud that disappear at the waters edge and reappear further down the shore, heading towards a path on the other side of the clearing. Looking closely you think you can see the bag hidden a few meters up one of the trees on the island.

Cautious, you stop and listen for a while. It's quiet, there's only the noise of birds and leaves rustling in the breeze. You've been lucky! No one seems to be around right now. It looks like the thief has hidden the eggs on the island while they're off doing something else, but they're sure to be back sooner or later. You'll have to act quickly.

The pool is murky and looks deep. Dipping a foot into the water you give a little test splash. Immediately something large moves in the deeper water disturbing the mirror surface. You back away from the water quickly. No telling what that was, but it's likely quite dangerous given the untamed area of the forest you're in. Immediately you discard the notion of going for a quick swim to retrieve the bag by yourself.

How do you retrieve the bag of eggs from the tree on the island?
1) Draw a picture (minimum is a cleaned sketch) Either you and/or your pets can be in the picture and you can draw any part of the rescue. If you want to, it's fine to add a story in the comments if you want to explain what's happening.
OR
2) Write a short story ( 400-1000 words) telling everyone how you managed to rescue the eggs!

Things to take note of-
* You can only use what was in your backpack, what would typically be found lying around the edges of a lake and forest (ie branches, vines, stones etc) and the pet(s) you brought with you to help.
* There's something large and probably dangerous in the deep water around the island.
* The trees on the island are quite dense. For those of you that brought large flying animals, it's impossible to fly straight in and out again to get the bag without encountering any problems. Also take into account Wyvern eggs are heavy! Small animals such as dawnbirds aren't going to be able to lift it by themselves, they'll need help.
* You'll probably have about 4-6 hours max before the thief returns for their eggs. Make sure you're out of here with the bag before then otherwise you might have to confront them or make a run for it!
* Post links to your story or picture here so everyone can see them

*Please note: You MUST have completed the maze first as you need to find the clearing before you can submit art/lit for this part of the event.

Reward for retrieving the eggs: 1HC

*Please have all your entries in by October 31.
