[i]EDDY[/i]

Seeing Theimos' flag raised over the village gave Eddy little comfort. The combat remained fierce, and while it wasn't Eddy's first fight, the sword was still awkward in his hands. Other samurai cut their opponents down and moved on in a heartbeat; Eddy's every fight was a drawn-out affair of parries, sidesteps, and waiting for the opponent to get tired or make a mistake. 

His clan leader, Oroshi Yukio, rose out of a crowd of bodies, cutting a swath of destruction. Eddy wasn't entirely certain [i]why[/i] this village was important enough to sacrifice so many lives for, but Corus had sent him here to do a job, and it was an important one. While the fighting raged, Eddy was to sabotage the port. Oroshi respected his technical skills, and entrusted Eddy with the bomb that would render the port unusable. 

Eddy and the two samurai assigned to assist moved swiftly through the town, easily slaying the harbor's guards. Behind him, Oroshi sounded the battle horn, deliberately attracting the attention of the enemy to give Eddy a chance to finish his mission. 

He hiked the bomb tucked under his shoulder up slightly, and decapitated an angry fisherman who charged him with a spear. Surveying the harbor, he found his target: the lighthouse that stood so tall on one side of the port. Placed correctly, the lighthouse would fall over almost every pier, almost completely rendering the port useless. 

Heaving a sigh, Eddy signaled to his companions. It was time to do what he had come here to do: ruin Acamia.
