That is also a possibility that Skellig had not considered, but the moment she is struck by the sphere - and then catches on fire - his 'considerations' shift instantly and he tucks one wing into his body to spiral downwards in a tight dive - aimed directly at the sphere-thrower. The rest of them advancing closer to her with weapons drawn can wait - he needs to get this one out of the equation.
(Oh, how he would WANT to make this torment linger, want to make this one pay for causing Kreyu to shriek in pain and panic; the emotions that surge up in his soul are DARK and full of shadow. But he does not have time for that, he can hear other crew below deck as the alarm is being sounded that they are under attack!)
His dive is a bit too fast to land comfortably on the deck. But that does not matter as Skellig uses the offending sphere-thrower as a landing pad - he's mindful (just barely) of the pouch with other spheres at the man's side, not wanting to break them open as he literally tackles the guy into the ship's deck boards, snapping bones and crushing internal organs beneath the force of the impact as he hits the deck HARD, driving them BOTH flat into it without hesitation.
