Chapter III:

Flesh. Blood. Bone. Freedom.

Sana was correct.

Takis Haas was the first of many.

And all their blood is on my hands.

* * *

Today it is Gerasimos Yaman.

Shorter than I.

Dark brown hair.

Narrow brown eyes.

Bronze skin.

Heavily-built.

He roars as he charges.

I grab his punch and crush it.

He strikes with the other.

I respond in kind.

He flies.

He lands.

He cries, coughing blood.

I stride over.

I kneel down.

I break his neck.

He is still.

Sana puts me to sleep.

* * *

I wake again. Invigorated.

My foe is Iro Kiki.

Lighter than I.

Taller.

Muscular. Powerfully so.

Blond hair.

Wide green eyes.

Obsidian skin.

He advances slowly, hands open.

I walk over to him.

He bursts my left eye.

I grip his forearms.

I bind them together in a single fist.

I twist.

His forearm bones break.

I punch his sternum.

His ribs break.

He splutters.

I kill him with a double-kick.

Sana puts me to sleep.

* * *

Another day. Another foe.

Jurunos Mara.

My height.

An albino.

Bald.

Heavier in build.

Slower in motion.

I rush him.

He slams my face.

I feel dizzy.

He kicks hard.

I grab the foot.

I spin.

I throw him far away.

He crunches against the wall.

He lands on the floor.

He tries to stand.

He succeeds.
