Jay cussed and fought against the ground instead of brain-sucking Wraiths. Stupid magic-users! They don't fight with the hitting all the time. He tried to pull his feet out to softer ground with an occasional arm flail.

He was just starting to make headway against the pull down when he heard Aether struggling against dirt hands. It took no thought on the hulk's part. He used his massive arms to smash the hands trying to grab the winged horse's feet. "And then Jay will disrupt them with his slappy hands! Yes, speak more of this evil-smashing duo!"
