《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 4 (Part 3)
Advertisement
Maggie and Tommy hurried back to the cliff sides and tried getting over to the other side without getting caught or losing their balance and fall. However, by the time they got to about halfway, the two found themselves surrounded by other shadows with glowing red eyes.
Unsure of what to do, Tommy looked over and noticed the deep water just a few meters below. He clenched his fist with one hand and grabbed Maggie’s hand with the other, as he told her to follow his lead. The two ran over to the edge and leaped, falling and landing in the water. They miraculously survived and swam up to the surface, trying to breathe in the fresh air while also getting a clear view of the surrounding situation.
“Are you out of your mind?”
“What? There was no other way we could’ve escaped from those guys, right?” Tommy tried to defend himself.
“But we could’ve also gotten killed!” Maggie pointed out.
“But I checked, it's not that far down when I looked down, that is...” Tommy replied earnestly.
“Uh-huh, sure you did.”
“Those guys will catch up to us soon, whoever they are...”
“No, duh, do you honestly think they’d just stand there and watch us try to escape?”
“We got to hide.”
“No, we got to leave.”
Tommy looked down at the deep waters as an idea sparked in his head. “Hey, do you know how long can you hold your breath for Maggie?”
“A pretty long time, didn’t I already establish that?" Maggie questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Also, why are you asking now?”
“I have another idea. We can find a way out by checking the water.”
The shadows became more prominent, and their voices grew louder. Seeing as they had little to no time left pondering for another idea, Maggie nodded her head and tried the risk.

The two dived underwater to hide from the shadows as they looked at the water for some way out. However, the area was dark in a lot of spaces, so it got hard for them to find some light at the end of a tunnel. Just then, the peach crystal Maggie held tightly in her hands shined a light, breaking the darkness. It threw a beam out at one path, like a compass pointing at its destination.
Tommy and Maggie continued to hold their breath as they followed the light before the shadows could spot them when they got caught in a current. Their bodies moved with the water automatically, almost like they were getting sucked in by a black hole, trapped in space.
As the two got out of the current and resumed following the light on the crystal, their bodies felt heavy, and they slowly lost their vision, as more bubbles poured out of their systems. They felt dizzy and weary but had to find a close spot of land fast or else. Tommy and Maggie soon saw the sky above and quickly swam up to get more air and composure.

Champions of the Boundary
In reality, there exists a realm between reality and fantasy, where all maner of magical creatures exist, and the warriors summoned as they died in reality fight against the forces of a powerful being known only as the Shadow of Life. Here, they live in a world with experience and Levels, Classes and Skills, and they fight against monsters, training for years just to achieve a Level that can allow them to make a small difference. Yet even with this training, it is not enough. The Crystal Adventurers are forced to retreat further and further every year as the Shadow of Life's monsters grow stronger and more numerous, destroying cities at an increasing rate. If the city of Maelnor falls, then it will be less than a year before nearly all of the Crystal Adventurers are wiped out, both those brought to the realm upon death, and those born and raised there. Legends tell of a prophecy that describes a team led by the legendary child of the prophecy, a child whose destiny is not to end the Shadow of Life, but to act as a harbinger, one whose very existence will turn the tides of war, one who must meet three seemingly impossible or currently unheard of criteria before the tides truly change. This is the tale of Team Noruva, which consists of a quiet, yet wise healer, a silent, but thoughtful rogue, a knight with an iron will, a wolf beastborn who gained access to the System, and their leader, who ignores the impossible and does whatever he wants, because why the hell not? This is the tale of their adventures and daily lives, their ups and downs, their struggles, successes, and losses. **REGARDING PoV'S*** There will be 5 total PoV's in this story. However, four of them will take several dozen chapters (beginning Chapter 73) to start happening, with the first two "Books" focusing just on Zack, which is why there's the Multiple PoV's tag on here, even though only one's around at first.

Bloodlines
Bloodlines is the first major story set in the far larger and immensely connected universe known as Infinitum. A group of renegades and misfits take into the sky in their fancy skyship to fulfill the prophecy they don't care about and defeat the Empire they care even less about. In the process, they learn things (they would rather not) of the fucked up Universe, dead gods, and the future that holds no mercy. Bloodlines draws inspiration from One Piece. But in the bigger picture, Bloodlines is one of many stories set in Cosmere-like universe where plots stretch beyond planets and star systems and stakes are higher than godhood (like in Malazan chronicles). Currently, I am planning to finish the first arc [Bandit Arc], add 10k words interlude with some revelations, then publish a story happening elsewhere. Then I will be back to write the second arc. For now, the Fifth Region has 8 arcs planned. Officially, there are 5 regions. The Fifth Region is not the shortest but is far from the longest regions. - PS. Pay attention to flavor text. Chapters published weekly.
