[u][i][b]Road To Knowledge[/b][/i][/u] Victory. Usually, Godelvia would be happy after a victory, but this felt more of a loss to her. She lost 3 precious friends, that wouldn't have died if she didn't assume that there would be good help. She would of course take partial blame, but she couldn't deny that only an idiot would hire such useless men. There would be a funeral when the time was right, they deserved that much for gallantly fighting to their death. " Well done men! You will all be given extra food tonight, as well higher quality food when he dock!" Supporting her animals were crucial. They were the back bone of her power, and treating them unfairly would do nothing but hurt her. It would only be appropriate that she promised them better food, as the flesh of pirates could only be so tasty. They would get an elegant dinner when they arrived at their destination. Goldevia also felt inclined to congratulate, and thank her fellow Valkyries, soldiers, and the priestess. They performed valiantly, and they deserved recognition. The oarsmen and hired men were terrible, and whoever hired them she really reconsider what they are doing with their lives. " Good job Amelia, and Kára. I am sure the All-Father is proud of you. You Roman soldiers, you live up to the tales told about you. And you, Priestess girl, I do not know much about you, but for a girl at your age, you fought with the skill and determination of a veteran. " Goldevia might have praised the priestess girl a tad too much, but she deserved compliments. It was rare for a little girl to walk into combat, and still stay somewhat mature about it. The hired men should feel pathetic, a little girl was handling battle much better than they were.
