The Sunspire Up, up and away...

Ugh, I've lost my muse I hope this is ok for now...

Ferdie was underground to the far right of the spring, he stood on his hind leg and reached upward like a meerkat of some sort and called again hoping that if he was closer to the hole his voice would carry outward

Ame' can you find a hole in the ground I might be able to get out it you can make it bigger

He hoped when or if she dug rock would cave in and give him a way to jump out, as it got darker outside maybe the steam would escape from the hole and she could see it better, but dark outside meant darker inside too and it was already dark enough. If he wasn't afraid of the dark before it was fast becoming a thing that made him hugely uncomfortable.

He looked behind him, he'd have to go back out if soon, least he drown trying to swim in the pitch blackness. Ame!!! He whined his voice going up three more octaves then it should be.
