When the carriage toppled, it didn't do it just once but continued to roll over. Mallory, who had moved from her corner to Hadeon's, felt him pull her close, protecting her front with his own body. One of his hands cradled the back of her head, and the other pressed firmly against her back, holding her securely as the carriage tumbled.

A second later, the door flew open as the carriage continued to hit the surface with every roll. Hadeon swiftly pulled Mallory out of the carriage and jumped upward, carrying her in his arms. In a heartbeat, they reached the top of the cliff, landing safely away from the tumbling carriage below.
