Nivek glanced over, noting that the mounted forces were already at the prince.  If he didn't do something, they'd be overwhelmed and all this would be for nothing.  He made his way down the hill as stealthily as he could, moving slowly toward the group of knights.  Once close enough, he focused on a knight on the outside of the group, making sure he picked one on the side and not point, as being on the front was an honor for only the toughest among them.  Taking a breath to calm himself first, he went into action, causing a ball of fire to appear on the armor of the knight.  As soon as he was spotted he began backpedaling away, perpendicular to the direction of the group.
