find you!"
8 ''I understand," agreed Gray Deer. “We will be listening on the
appointed frequencies awaiting the hour when we shall be called home "
9 The Fleet did not wait for The Goddens. Boldly, with what they had
left, they attacked, and attacked again until finally they were driven
back. The best ships turned, made their way out of the system, while
those that remained stood firm, and met The Godden assault.
10 When it was finally over, half The Godden ships were gone. Their
landing craft descended on the planets. Now, The Children of
Spirit were equipped with their body shields, and
hand swords. The fighting everywhere was fierce. The bodies on both
sides piled up about the cities. But finally Sorrowful Fox ordered
their flags taken down, and asked the enemy Commander what his terms
were.
11 "You will surrender," he announced, "to the
will of your God,
and take whatever punishment he directs."
