I was walking around the city when I saw this notice. A homoculus hiding in the sewers? I hated homoculus. Especially after that night when I lost my arm... I decided that this would be a good mission. I told myself I was ready for missions. Especially if it included dispatching homoculus... The new red cloak that I bought that morning swished around my ankles as I walked down the city, thinking. How to best find a homoculus...? My parents found that I was a bright child. They quickly put my mind to use, giving me all sorts of puzzles and riddles of logic. If I could find a map of the sewers, I could eliminate tunnels until I landed with only a few possible ones left, and narrowed those down until I had only two or three. Then I would explore and destroy. I had to pay a man three crowns for the map. He was ill-shaven and wore shabby clothes. He stunk like the sewer. If a man stunk like the sewers, he knew the sewers. This proved true. The notice had said that the homoculus was large... that meant that small, narrow tunnels are ruled out. Ten tunnels were eliminated. He was croc-like... crocs like damp areas, if I wasn't mistaken. I had to find another man who smelled like sewer who showed me on the map the dry and unused tunnels. Twenty were eliminated. And it was spotted... that meant that it was in a tunnel that people on the surface frequently passed. I wouldn't be surprised if the person who spotted it was some kid trying to show his friends that he was brave. I ruled out the tunnels that weren't nearly local hotspots. Two tunnels. One was supposed to be lit and warm because it was under construction. The other was dark, damp, and icky. Guess which one was most likely? I had to enter one of the unused tunnels to get into the sewers and the tunnel I wanted. I couldn't just climb in the manhole right in the open for the entire public could see, could I? I had brought a lantern. First of all, I needed the light, and it was metal... which meant that if I needed to transmute something other than my automail arm, I had an object. I lifted my sleeve and stared at the metal that replaced my hand. It had a transmutation circle drawn on it, so I could perform alchelmy without stooping down and putting my entire life in danger to draw a circle. I was halfway down the tunnel that I thought the homoculus was in when I heard a rush of sound and the lantern blew out. I screamed. I hated the dark. There was no way I could transmute light or flame into the lantern, because I didn't have anything to offer. There was a sound of claws on stone. I decided now was the time to use a little alchelmy. I transmuted my automail hand into something that looked like a sword. The lantern flickered on again. The homoculus was right in front of me. He was quite large and fairly ugly. His scales had mud, ooze, and sewer scum all over them. A glob of yellow saliva dripped from his reptilian jaws and onto the tunnel floor. His mouth was nothing but teeth and a long, black tongue that was out of its place, tasting the air. Tasting my fear. I realized that in all my studies of homoculi, I never figured out how to kill one. Well, I supposed that I would find out. I jabbed at the creature with my sword-arm, but he quickly dodged out of the way. His yellow and black-slit eyes widened, then narrowed. He was taunting me. I wouldn't have it. I lunged forward and slashed at his hind legs. That way he couldn't walk. I was able to make contact with one, but the second leg stepped on my sword-arm. Not good. I sized up the situation. I did the only thing a girl could do in that situation. I gave the thing a big kick. It released my arm and I pulled back, my thoughts racing. One of its legs were hurt. If I could only get the other one... It was time for some more alchelmy. I knew that I couldn't transmute the lantern; I had to SEE the lizard. See. See! Lizard's eyes are weaker in the light! My exictment faded. How was that little fact that I had learned while looking at one of Father's science books ever going to help me? See and smell. When see fails, smell. When smell fails, taste. Taste! His tongue was tasting the air, and no doubt he was smelling me too. Taste and smell, meet my sword-arm and my logic. I flicked my arm at his tongue, and it fell onto the floor. Eeww. I hope the mission does not include disposing the body. His taste gone, that left only the smell. I fished into the pocket of my dress and took out a bottle of my perfume- it smelled strongly of roses. When something smells strongly, it can block other scents. Hopefully, my own included. I thanked my lucky stars I did not put on perfume that morning. I threw the bottle and it hit the homoculus right in the snout. It lost smell, just like I had hoped. It thrashed about wildly before it thumped to the ground and I finished it. When I exited the sewers, I was sure to take one piece of evidence with me- a scale. Fai D. Flourite, my name is Arya Marcia Overpass, and I killed your homoculus.

When do you find out who won the mission?
Just curious.
