“My name is Eddy. I am the living child of my mother, Ina, who lies dead here today. I was trained as a raider by Errol and Ricardo, my good friends. I killed the Lion of Estiel. I have saved girls and women all my life. I have fought slavers wherever I have met them. I have loved only women in my life, and I will keep right on doing that. I am leaving Ommun today, because I will not be told how to live, love, or die. I will take as many with me as will go.”
