xdarkwingY made a very interesting story to go along with the comic! You can read it below if you'd like.

After a rainy day's night, a healer named Elise Defox decided it's time to earn some money with guild quests again.

Since she's currently alone, Elise decided a simple fetch quest will do just fine and with this new teleport circles everywhere, it's easy to fetch ingredients from basically everywhere! ...Or so Elise thought.

Taking a quest to find some special herbs leads her into a far away swamp...

The swamp seems full of mire and mud, but since it's summer it is pretty humid but also warm.

"Good that i wear my knee-high pair again... have to clean them later, hm." Elise mumbled,

as she takes the first step off the messy road...

"Whoa!...h-hmpf!" Luckely the mud only clings to her ankles and our healer fox carefully grabs some of the herbs,

even tho that each step is tougher than the last.

And Elise nags further: "Why does this stupid mud have to be so clingy!?... >///<" "

The sticky swamp is bothering her but after wading deeper into the probably dangerous mire,

Elise finds a big patch of the healing herbs she's gathering. A whole bunch of them!

"And with those i'll have my money for a week~ " The greedy kitsune said grinningly.

But as she ventures through the mud and makes the next step towards the grass patch-

"Eh!? ..ngh! What the... n-no not again!" - Elise's boots get stuck and the mud is crawling up slowly~

...No, it's her sinking further in!

ts her legs against it, but that only makes her situation worse!

"Crap... Now my boots are swallowed.. half the week's money will be for cleaning services >////< ...AGAIN!"

She tries to calm down and looks around her, since she has been prey to quicksand and bottomless swamps before...

Worryingly, she mumbles: "I have to get out of here... this better won't be bottomless..."

Twisting her leg and pulling her leg doesn't help either! She gets one leg further out and her muddy boot comes to shine...

...but in exchange her other leg sinks deeper towards her calf. "Not my whitemage dress...ò///ó" Elise pouts.

Worst thing happening would be the hungry muck reaching over her and then wriggling always feels so messy...

But just thinking about it makes her blush more.~

Carefully looking around her, Elise decided that it won't be so bad to sink a little bit further. Or will it be?

"Su-surely a bit further won't cause more problems, right? Ahaha..hah... " And so she wriggled her hips a bit

and enjoyed being the poor prey in a messy perilous situation. <3 The mud reached over her bellybutton now!

"Hah... h-Eh? W-when did i sink so deep?! i need to get out of here!"

Shocked as she is, Elise desperativly tries to reach the edge of the mud pool with her healing staff...

"Can't reach it...n-no! I'm such a dummy! I got distracted, crap..." Elise muttered to herself,

angry at herself succumbing to pleasure and having to get out now.

"It's no use... HELP! Somebody! >///<" gulping down her pride, she shouts and screams in hope for a helping hand.

The time goes on and the mud slowly starts claiming her torso, her chest is next on the plate.

On the verge of tears she lays down her staff and tries to push herself out with her arms,

but with all the heavy mud she only manages to get her arms stuck too!

"N-no!!! ó////ò H-Help!...." Elise get's very worried now. She could try wriggling one of her arms out,

but that would cost alot of energy and the thick mud exhausts her as she keeps sinking deeper.

So she tries to safe up the energy for shouting after someone to rescue her.

Still blushing but a tear moving down her cheek Elise sobs: "I'm sorry for being such a bad healer and such a stupid horny fox... please i don't wanna sink under and eat some mud... Why does it feel so good tho? No fair!...i don't wanna die.. sniff... Ngh! >////< "

The poor captured fox is confused at her bewildered feelings as the bottomless mud claims her chest next and only her head & shoulders are left...

If this continues only her wooden staff will remain on the surface. A left memento for the next poor victim perhabs?

"sob N-no-mhpprf!" With hope in her teary eyes Elise looks up one more time as the mud takes her mouth next,

hoping someone might rescue her in the last minute...

But even if she is lucky, who knows? Not all things are for free...
