Gildia took solace in the fact that two of the vile orcs were enveloped in the full force of her magic, burning to death too quickly for her taste, but she also wanted to help the Princess so knew not to let her emotions get the better of her any more then it already had. Just before she turned the fire onto the orc that Princess Velice was facing, an arrow came at her from both directions. With her limited mobility, thanks to being busy casting her spell, she only managed to barely avoid the one from the summoned being, the horseback archer's arrow striking her in the torso underneath her ribcage. Her flames flickered out as she felt consciousness leave her, falling to her knees and then rolling off the cliff like her dead companion, only in her case luckily breaking her fall into a bush, yet still seemingly dead from a distance as she remained motionless. Velice was angry now, causing some of her grace to leave her fighting style, turning her more agressive. She grabbed from the bottom of his shield with her gauntleted left hand (although still painful) while blocking his overhead swing with her sword held horizontally over her head. With all of her might she would try to yank the shield left and deflect the sword to the right, opening up his torso for a quick slash of her blade down into it if she managed to create the opening.
