《The Land of the Unknown》Episode 4 (Part 3)

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.
