There was a sound of horses whinnying. Handy boggled. Ponies? What were ponies doing out here? He turned. The failing light made it difficult to see but there was definitely... something coming up the road behind him. He heard the jostling wood of a wheeled carriage at speed and the distant, heavy, clop of hooves crunching gravel under them. A black carriage barrelled down the road towards him. The large, earth sized equines at its fore bore no resemblance to the ponies of this world. The lack of flesh kind of ruined any comparison for starters.
