Arkain watches Gold grab his with both paws and start to pull. He grimies in pain. "OOOOWWW..PLease stop Gold. That really hurts. "He feels the stomach walls twitch sending them down into a drepression. He  and Gold are now up to thier waist in the stuff. Arkain breaks his grip and looks angerly at GOld. "Now look at you. I told you to stay on top. Now Your going to go down too if you don't get out of here. You HAVE to stay here and watch over Sil. DOn't leave her here alone in the dark. Now listen to me and do what I tell you. Use my body as leverage to get on top of the pile. This stuff is too soft to get any solid footing. Step up on me and jump up to the top of the pile before it sinks again. DOn't think about it.  Just Do it.  Hurry..PLEASE!!
