Jason couldn't see a thing as his whole body was covered. He felt one of the vines loosen as it went after David's harpoon. Using this as the opportunity he needed, he thrust his free paw upwards, feeling it break the surface of the mud. The blue scales would shimmer in the light, making them visible among all the mud. As his paw broke the surface though, he felt strong arms with clawed hands wrap about his waist and try to tug him deeper. He groped about frantically above the surface and managed to snag Naor's arm.
