While the animals here were alien to her, they were still animals. She struggled to find a means to communicate fully with them, otherwise she may well have had the ability to persuade them all to leave everyone well enough alone. As it stood, the communication barrier was too great. All she got from these sea creatures was anger and defiance, something Daine had herself in spades.

If she could not persuade, she would use force.

It was something she hated. But if she had to impose her will to make these creatures leave, then she would.

She kept the sea creatures well enough away. The problem came with the human-like ones. All she had was a small dagger she had been able to borrow to defend herself from their attacks.
