Chapter 2

Zionne's vision blurred, until it was a rainbow mess, colours simply being, not assigned to a point in space, not assigned to a point in time, not bound by symmetry, as if it weren't something they needed.

Zionne's vision started to clear, creating land beneath him, and the mess of colour seeming to be the sky of wherever he was. Zionne stood up, picking himself up off the ground, and started to try and find out where he was.

As he moved through the strange place he was in, Zionne noticed that the sky didn't move at all.

Zionne saw a tall hill, and walked towards it, passing strange, tall messes of space-time he assumed were meant to be trees, and small bundles of distortion he assumed were bushes.

Once at the base of the hill, Zionne noticed that there were holes in space along the expanse of the hill, and started walking up the hill, towards the first of them. Zionne passed more of the strange time-space distortions, until he reached the hole in space.

Zionne looked inside it, seeing another part of the hill. He walked in, and came out on the other side of the hill, in an instant, as if he were already there.

Zionne nodded curiously "It seems that I am in a realm of pure chaos and imbalance, where everything is in false entropy"

Zionne tried to use the powers he had been given, but found that he lacked them. He sighed, and walked towards the next hole, determined to explore them all.

Zionne approached the second hole, and found that, like the first, this one simply led to another part of the hill. He walked through, and found himself further up than he had been before. Zionne noticed a purple glow coming from the top of the hill, and abandoned his idea of exploring each and every hole, and simply walked up to the top.

Zionne reached the top of the hill, and found the glow coming from a strange purple gem, which was simply laying on the ground. Zionne picked up the gem, and when he touched it, it fused with his arm.

Zionne felt raw power running through his veins, as his entire body was engulfed in purple light, the power building until it burned, but it continued growing, until Zionne was screaming in pain, but the pain kept building, until it felt like it was about to tear his entire body into pieces.

The pain finally stopped, and the light died down, and Zionne fell to the ground, his veins still throbbing. He stood up slowly, and began walking down the hill, ignoring the holes in space around him.

Zionne reached the bottom of the hill, and collapsed from the exhaustion.

Zionne awoke to find himself inside a village, in what seemed to be some sort of healer's hut.

"Ah, you're finally awake" a strange voice said.

Zionne turned and saw what seemed to be a human, but off somehow.

"My name is Zerklin, and my son Pherna found you collapsed near a hill" she continued.

Zionne ignored her and tried to stand up, but she stopped him.

"Do not go! The Vankli will get you if you leave!"

"Then I'll kill them" Zionne said calmly, and stood up, and silently walked out the door.

Once outside, Zionne noticed paths made of cobblestone, and houses made of wood and clay. Zionne walked down the stone path, and found himself at the edge of the village in a matter of seconds.

Zionne calmly exited the village, and immediately was jumped by a group of about 16 violet wolves.

The first one charged at him, but was stopped by Zionne's fist being violently shoved down its trachea. Zionne lifted his arm, taking the creature off the ground, before slamming it down on one of its friends, knocking both unconscious.

Zionne jerked his arm out to the side, blasting the saliva off his fist in a burst of power. Zionne grabbed the two wolves by the ear, and slammed them together in the air, he could hear their spines audibly snap, and he dropped them. Zionne smiled, and picked one of the dead wolves up by the tail, and slammed its corpse into another one of the wolves, knocking it down, but not unconscious.

Zionne swung the dead wolf like a whip, smacking it against the wolf on the ground, a massive smile on his face, each strike making his smile grow impossibly, until the wolf gave out its last whimper, and went limp on the ground.

"3 down, 13 more to go" Zionne spoke like a child referring to how many sweets they had eaten.

Zionne dropped the corpse, and punched a 4th wolf in the left side, just past its front legs, quickly crushing its spleen. As the wolf fell to the ground, Zionne placed his fists together, and brought them down, shattering the back of the wolf's ribcage.

Zionne gripped the neck of the wolf, and picked it up, swinging its limp body through the air, crushing its throat and trachea, before simply dropping it to the ground. Zionne turned his attention to the 5th wolf, and grabbed it by the tail.

Zionne began swinging the wolf around like he was competing in a hammer throw event, gradually gaining speed, until he was spinning it too fast for the wolf to withstand, and he finally stopped spinning it; by slamming it, full force, into the 6th wolf.

Both wolves collapsed, dead. Zionne grabbed the back legs of the 7th wolf, and swung it up into the air, before smacking it down on top of the 8th wolf, both going limp.

Zionne kicked the 9th wolf into the air, and brought his foot down on the tailbone of the 10th, causing it to fall to the ground. When the 9th wolf fell down, Zionne caught it on his fist, in an upwards punch, which caused it to fall to the ground, dead.

Zionne flipped the 11th wolf into the air, catching it behind his head, on his wrists (I was gonna have him say 'YEET' but that's a modern term, this is not set in the modern age), and swung his arms over his head, slamming the wolf into the ground, where it lay still.

Zionne spin-kicked the 12th wolf in the side of the head, using the momentum to grab the 13th wolf's neck at a high speed, and when he placed his foot down, slammed the wolf into the ground, where it crumpled.

Zionne slammed his fist into the top of the 14th wolf's head, causing it to crumple. Zionne grabbed the last 2 wolves, and slammed their heads together, killing them.

Zionne picked up the 1st wolf, throwing it along the cobblestone path, its blood staining the cobbles. He grabbed the 2nd, slamming it on the cobbles, its blood splatter reaching Zionne. Zionne picked up 2 wolves at once, throwing them into the village square.

The 5th wolf was thrown at the walls of a house, where it painted the wall a regal red. Zionne picked up the 6th wolf, and slammed it against the cobblestone, crimson splatter against the stones, as if they had been individually dipped in blood, and then placed in the ground. Zionne grabbed the 7th wolf by the back legs, and slammed it against the cobblestones.

Zionne tore his hands into the chest of the 8th wolf, and tore out its heart, and threw it across the village, before throwing the spleen and left lung at the closest house. Zionne threw the right lung and liver at the ground. Next he threw the stomach, kidneys and intestines at another house. Throwing the bladder, pancreas and gall bladder across the town, he tugged the brain out of the cracked skull, and threw it into the grasslands.

Tossing the empty carcass aside, Zionne threw the 9th wolf up into the sky, and waited for it to land in the town. Once the body hit the ground, Zionne picked up the 10th wolf, throwing it to the other side of town, where he heard a sufficiently horrified child's scream.

Zionne picked up another 3 wolves, and threw them to the centre of town.

Zionne inscribed a message on one of the remaining wolves 'Are these the Vankli?' before throwing it with the other two, to the healer's hut.
