Mount up on your dragonflight mount. During the following phase, you do need to keep your mount walking on the ground, but if you aggro any mobs, just pop up in the air, hover, and come back down. I was able to get through the entire "escort" with only 2 or 3 aggros and avoided combat by staying mounted.

I swear, this spark want me to engage in every single mob along the way.
Awfully dumb quest design. If you die, the quest progress gets reset. This is very likely considering all mobs have at least two to four times your HP and they hit hard, especially when leveling. Consider doing this while at level 70 and with some gear.

What to do
Description
Though this spark is of peculiar origin, I sense it is familiar. I am not sure of its purpose, but I believe it may lead to your next step in unraveling this mystery. Follow it and see if you can learn more of its purpose, while I see what else I can discover in the meantime.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- The Magic Within
Intriguing. There are many mysteries living within this citadel that no one, save Keeper Tyr himself, understand. If we are to unlock this further we shall have to explore more of Tyrhold. I believe that the scale will draw out secrets stored within this place. However. there is one complication.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Memories of the Past
This place is where we last saw our friend, Tyr. We did not understand the circumstances by which he had to leave, only that it was for something important. Though it may be difficult for our hearts to bear, I believe this spark called us here to witness that time once more.
