"That was the plan," said coldly, briefly looking back before focusing on the path ahead. If Konny survived, they would set out on their quest once more. If she died, he would continue with out her.
Konny pushed harder and harder as she saw the Blight creep over the horizon. "Come on...we can do it." She pushed with all her effort.
The small elephant trumpeted a little and tried to brush Konny's hand off, as if telling her to go without it.
"No...I can get you out! Come on!" Konny continued to push and pull stubbornly.
The Matriarch continued to run along with the others, though the baby's Mom finally broke from the herd and stopped for him. Some "aunts" slowed down for them as well, determined not to abandon the three.
Finally, the Mom tugged on the baby's front legs, freeing him from the mud. Konny nudged the baby elephant along she saw the Blight crawl nearer. "Go go!"
As the mother, baby and aunts ran to rejoin the heard, Konny ended up trailing behind them. With a last burst of effort, she managed to catch up to the Matriarch and reached up to the Elephant's back.
"Secesh! Help me up! Please!"
