"Who in their right mind would build a mine cart track like this?!" Alastor demanded as he leaned them into another turn, his shadow further flying alongside to help keep them on the track.
A bit of light farther ahead showed that there was some chance of escaping their pursuer for good. If this noctaere preferred to hunt in the darkest places, it might not abide light well.
Unfortunately, it also showed a hairpin turn they were going far, far too fast for.
"Slow us down!" he commanded his shadow which moved in front of them in an attempted to push back against their momentum that ultimately proved fruitless.
Alastor spun his head back around and used his long legs to wedge them as best he could inside the cart, hugging Madhuri tight to his chest. He bent his knees in preparation for what was going to be a desperate jump as soon as they got close enough to the ground that Madhuri wouldn't break every bone in her body on impact.
