<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/7/78/Galatea.jpg)</div><strong>Galatea</strong><br/><br/>In the flash of scant moments, the proud amazon huntress was reminded of why she both admired and loathed the pretentious nobleman. He was admittedly very good looking, but beyond that he had a way of making her feel both strong and weak at the same time. She wasn't sure if she wanted to swoon or to smack him...<br/><br/>But unfortunately, current circumstances required the latter.<br/><br/>She already found herself bristling with that other girl in tow.. her brow arched in confusion, wondering where he had even picked her up! She hadn't been part of the caravan guard..<br/><br/>Galatea wondered how easy it would be to blindside him, or even to wait until he turned his back and take him out from behind. But there would be no honor in that. And he at least deserved to see it coming.<br/><br/>"One of the pirates is very close, LORD Valon," she almost spit out his honorific, as she drew her very large sword and held it out in front of her. "I'm afraid I am going to have to detain you and report my findings to Captain Miriya. We can do this the easy way, or the hard way." Galatea didn't have any delusions that he was actually going to surrender, and as she felt her pulse quicken, the amazon realized that would be just fine with her.
