"Sir, there's something chasing us" The driver said. Rasputin looked up from the cyrstal bottle. He looked out the back window, but saw nothing out of the ordinary. "Above us sir!" He leaned slightly to the side, and saw Dianna. She seemed to be rather angry about his taking her sister. "How did she...? bah! no matter, keep driving... And take a turn into that tunnel there!" He saw the oppurtunity just in time. Out here in the sunlight there was little he could do, but down there, things were a different story. Already, he began concentrating on the shadows ahead, tendrils of blackness started crawling in the nooks and crannies the lights in the tunnel couldn't reach. One by one, the writhing shadows disabled the lamps, so that by the time the car reached the tunnel, the only light inside were from car headlights. "Sir! I can't drive safely in there!" Rasputin didn't need to thinkn long about his answer to that. "Then drive unsafely. I thought you were a retired stunt driver."

With a defeated sigh, the driver followed rasputin's orders, only about half a minute had passed since Dianna had started flying above the car. And now, they approached the tunnel. The first thing the wizard did was comparatively simple. A web of shadowy threads sprang out and blocked the tunnel's entrance, each of them razor sharp and strong as steel. An unfortunate driver exiting the tunnel at just that moment drove into a single vertically-oriented wire, and it sliced the passenger side of his car clean off. Rasputin left but a small gap for his own car to drive through, setting that too to spring shut once his car had passed.
