One of the buckles on his boot had managed to come undone during Erralds' whirlwind sprint, in fact he had been hopping along trying to fix it when the guards rushed past him. Not expecting to encounter trouble for at least another few blocks he stumbled in surprise, but managed to recover his footing in a few steps. His opponents had no such distractions, not even a moments hesitation before firing. Narrowly dodging energy bolts with the momentum from his sprint Errald returned their attacks, unleashing an inferno with a wave of his hand.  

Not bothering to check if any of these attackers had survived he continued running down the street, a bonfire building inside of him.
