The cart hit a bump in the tracks, sending them flying off the rails sooner than anticipated. Alastor leaped as best he could out of the cart.
If this were Hell, he'd have teleported them to safety long before this, but he still isn't sure it's safe to take living things along with him here in Reverein. Given his only available test subjects were people he'd like to not see turned inside-out or worse, he made do.
Hugging her tightly, he twisted so that his body would come in contact with the ground first. The spell she'd cast certainly helped take the edge off of it, but their momentum carried the day. Alastor gave a howl of pain as his back struck the earth with a loud CRACK! before they skidded across the rocks and other sharp debris. They finally came to a stop with Alastor's head smacking against a large glowing crystal on the edge of the lighted area they'd seen in the cart.
Alastor's grip loosened on Madhuri now that they stopped, him momentarily dazed from the blow to the head on top of the pain from their landing.
