Corraidhin led the soldiers toward where the fugitives had stopped in front of a group of Dragon Knights. He had been hoping for a way to surround them. "Like rats drawn to cheese they have wandered into a trap" he said. But he had spoke too soon. Suddenly a brilliant pegasus emerged before Meira, and she and the whelp mounted quickly. Then one of the Dragon Knights dressed in very revealing armor met them on the ground. They exchanged words he could not hear, and then Meira drew her sword. She delivered a speech with great confidence and persuasion, and the Pegasus Knights who had appeared and the Dragon Knights were with her. The creepy people with them ascended their mounts, and before him stood a battalion of Horsemen sitting upon great beasts. He quickly glanced over one of the buildings on the side of the street, and in the doorway he saw a most curious thing. He saw four people staring directly at him. Then he recognized them. They were regia, whom he had rounded up from the academy in Ytrellia, led by one of his good friends, Amulius Karna.

[i]What are they doing here?[/i] he thought to himself. They must have taken his advice and fled for Ereis Eisan. A devilish smirk spread across Corraidhin's face. He pulled a cigar out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it up from a flame at the end of his thumb. He took a puff and then took it out of his mouth. "Forgot how to fight fair have we, princess?" called Corraidhin to the princess. "Just call in daddy's friends to help when things might be looking tough, eh? Too bad for me most of my friends are dead, or I'd call them in to give you a run for your money." He looked down at his cigar. "Lucky for me I've still got a trick or two up my sleeve" he said as the four people emerged from their hiding spot. Corraidhin threw his cigar to the ground and took his spell book out of his pocket. "Melloah!" He recited a spell and stepped on the lit cigar. Suddenly, flames began to circle around him like bees around a hive. "Come on then cutie-pie!"
