[u][b][b]Road To Knowledge: [/b][/b][/u] . . . Three of her animals were killed. This took a Godelvia a moment to process. There was no reason for them to die, especially in such a brutal fashion. She was sure they'd become well respected in death, but it couldn't bring them back. A tear would have been shed if she wasn't in the middle of battle. The pain only became worse when she realized they would have lived if only the oarsman and hired help weren't incompetent. This was enough of a case to kill them, but she couldn't do it. They were needed to survive the attack, and doing anything too bad to them would only make the mission more difficult. Once the mission was over however, she'd dedicate what she could to make their lives miserable. She would make sure a grand funeral was had. After taking a moment to regroup herself, and listening to Amelia's order, Goldevia took command of her three renaming animals, pulled them back, and began to reassess the situation. There was a second ship, and while the trained soldiers were impressive, she was sure they couldn't last forever. The first ship was already a mess, and she wasn't willing to risk more of her pets. She couldn't let more of her precious pets die for something so idiotic. She would assist the soldiers, at least making sure the pirates on that side didn't go out of control. She flew back down the deck of the ship, and began to bark orders at her animals. Her voice was far more shaky than usual, but she hoped the message would get across " I am sorry for the loss of your comrades, I expected better help! We will avenge them by killing all of these pathetic pirates! I want you to cover the soldiers on that end! If anyone slips through their protection, rip them apart! I will be there fighting with you this time! " Godelvia followed after her animals, wielding her lance tightly in her hand. She wasn't the best in combat, but a Valkyrie could never lose to this kind of scum. If anybody got through the legionnaires forces, they'd have to deal with her, and her pack of animals. Hopefully, they'd win this battle by attrition.
