At the end, Timmy decided that such odd behaviour from the shard's side, shouldn't be taken too seriously.
After all, it had beamed closer to his friend who drew powers from such an item. So sudden movements like these weren't inconvenient.
Instead he traveled deeper towards this long tunnel, and hoped to find something else to do.
Sure it was peaceful to just swim through a long tunnel, but he felt beyond bored!
His wish was seemingly granted once more, as he met with a few more gem shards of the same kind!
They counted several in number and were laid across the tunnel's flooring.
At first he thought nothing of this. Sure these gems were useful for one team member, but he could come back anytime to carry these shiny stones.
So he just continued to swim forward and hoped to see anything else, but the floor of this area put up a fight.
As similar shards grew in quantity, they were laid all over the place!
