Corraidhin stood by as Meira unleashed her vocal fury on him. It was all he could do but laugh. He knew he perhaps had gone too far with his taunting, but at least it had worked. More men had arrived to join Meira, led by the man in black who had gotten him into this mess in the first place. Just as the men looked as if they were ready to charge, he saw arrows fly toward them. Corraidhin looked behind him and saw the Arch Knights of Windgrace. Perhaps they would survive this battle after all. "And so it truly becomes a battle" he said, and prepared to charge. The two sides moved quickly towards each other, and Corraidhin's men formed a triangle blazed with fire light with him at the tip. 

The two sides collided and it became a sea of blood. Corraidhin lashed out at the enemy with his flames, leaving burn marks across the soldiers body, and they collapsed writhing in pain. Fire from the Arch Knights arrows lit the street ablaze. He look to his side for a second, and saw Meira looking right at him. She said something to Nathan, and prepared to ride towards him. There was only one thing he could do in such a situation: run right back at her. He turned to Amalius. "I need to go take care of something. If something goes terribly wrong, divide and wait for me to contact you" he told him. "I hope you know what you're doing" responded Amalius. Corraidhin looked back towards Meira and saw Nathan sling her over his shoulder. Corraidhin darted foward just before Nathan catapulted himself forward. Corraidhin lodged the beard of his mace into one of the footholds of the pegasus's saddle, and the pegasus ran ahead quickly to keep up with Nathan, dragging Corraidhin along the ground. "Not good!" he said to himself. He pulled himself forward and grabbed the saddle, and lifted himself onto it. He sat on the saddle, and lit up another cigar. "I'd better stop wasting these" he said to himself, but not loud enough so that Nathan could hear. He doubted he would take to kindly to him hitching a ride with them. Suddenly, the sky filled with dark clouds.
