Then suddenly he noticed they were slowly sinking into the mud. Libe exerted himself to harden the ground again. He felt tired, but forced trough it. He couldn't let them drown now after all that. The earth solidified and the mud on everyone broke off. On Libe however it hardened. As did his legs. He barely had the time to realise he had pushed his magic too far, that it could lash back, before he was completely petrified. A face of surprise and terror frozen on his face.
