An Unexpected(?) Anomaly

[Carn_Val]

A cold, sinking feeling, like when the Anomaly first came to being, pulls Carn back into consciousness, only this time, something else is happening.

“My name is Omni. This is not the world you know. This is the Omniverse. You interest me, so I have made you part of it. The Omniverse is a place that reflects the wishes of those who are part of it. But! There are rules. I will explain them only once, so listen carefully.”

Omni hands you a glimmering orb in which all the colors of the rainbow coalesce. “This is Omnilium. It’s what ties the Omniverse together. Without it, you are nothing. With it, anything you desire can be yours. But you will need more than this. If you desire it enough, you will find it. You will find that using it comes naturally. Just think of what you desire most.

“You will not be alone in the Omniverse. There are others. Of course, they, too desire Omnilium. Do not fear death. For as long as you interest me, you will be reborn.

“That’s all you need to know right now. You’ll figure out the rest soon enough. I’ll be watching … and waiting.”

Without a heads up, the room started to disintegrate, walls, floor, ceiling, all disappearing. Before Carn knew what could happen, weightlessness started to take over, then, the Anomaly was falling.

"Not this again."

What replaced the walls and ceiling was a vast expanse of pure white. Carn looks back up at the figure, he was floating motionlessly, then suddenly, he looked down at the Anomaly, with the look as if he's saying "welcome' one more time before his white form meld with the sky. Carn's descent was fast, a few seconds later, the prime seemed to be already on the floor. A floor that seemed to extend to infinity in all directions, with the horizon as a guide to its edges, not to mention what seemed to be towering objects scattered around Carn, equidistant to each other. What the prime didn't realize was that the very base the Anomaly was sitting on was a fountain, and a large one at that. Some sort of liquid flows from it akeen to that sphere the white figure called Omni had given.

Omnillion was it? Was that what he said? Oh well, I better get down from here before someone sees me.

Carn stood, eyes squinting at the eight objects ways ahead. With the precision and grace of a well-trained Anomaly, Carn had no trouble descending the fountain, only to have seen it change into something else, the moment the Anomaly looked away. The fountain turned into a hill, or a mound, something of a large bulging landmass ways smaller than a mountain. In the middle of processing what happened, a brief flash in the sky caused Carn to tilt a head upwards, only to realize it was Tremor, but that was not the only thing the Anomaly had realized, Carn realized it was going to land on the Anomaly's general direction. Quickly, pulling thoughts together, Carn jumps back as far away as possible, only for the large cleaver to land mere inches between the prime's knees. A close call that could have cost Carn something dear.

Gah! He..he.he...huh?, confused at the gulping of air and panting, Carn had no idea what to make of it. Drops of sweat started lining up which caused more confusion.
What's happening to me? Is this something new? Is this what one experiences in the world? Carn seemed amused. Satisfied with the surpise, Carn took a bit of momentum to build up and eventually pulling Tremor from the ground. The Anomaly wonders where the other part of the pair, Trauma, the trusty scythe, went. Oddly enough, Trauma had already been with the Anomaly all that time and had only realized it later after all the new things started coming one after the other. With both weapons checked out, eyes open and sporting a large grin, Carn sets forth into the new world.

[Carn_Val]

A little bit more than an hour had passed, a lone, black figure walks westward in the vast white floor,no other than the newly arrived Anomaly. Carn swings a little bit to the side, body stooped forward and dragging heels.
What is this I'm feeling? It's getting harder to move by the second.With no idea that the Anomaly is experiencing exhaustion for the very first time, moving onwards seemed to be the only option. Ofcourse, lugging a cleaver as big as yourself and probably weighing 3 times more than you on your back could be the culprit of such an experience. Carn stares at the large object a few kilometres away, processing thought on what could that metallic thing be, a gate perhaps. Beside the gate on both sides were two figures, also in white, standing still and apparently guarding the object. What is with this place? Everything seems white apart from me??, muttering out in a low growl. Somehow, the growling has alarmed the two figures who, obviously, had noticed the Anomaly approaching ways before.

"Undead? In the Nexus? Seriously?", the one to the left of the gate said, mistaking Carn for one of the Moor's local residence.
"Careful now, this one looks quite different, albeit moving like one", the other figure stated.
"Nah, let's shoot at it, scare it away", the one on the left raised his weapon on chest level, pointed at the Anomaly's path. He shoots, and for a mere milisecond, a little distance infront of the Anomaly was scorched by a bright beam of focused red light, startling Carn to a halt.

What seems to be their problem? I didn't do anything bad, did I?, Carn prepares for another attack.

"Look, you scared the fellow to a stop, do it again, make sure it runs away this time", the figure on the right said with a chuckle. The other figure did so, aiming closer at the Anomaly's foot, only this time, Carn knew exactly what would happen and proceeds to dropping Tremor will a loud 'thud'. The white figure shot again, only to see the Anomaly disappear from the spot, leaving behind the cleaver. As the stormtroopers quickly scanned the surrounding, they see a black figure appearing and disappearing from the distance, quickly gaining ground and getting bigger and bigger. "Oh sh~...I-It's coming! Shoot that thing!", the trooper on the right shouted with urgency. In a few seconds, Carn was already close enough for a proper conversation, only this time, weapons did the talking, well, the stormtrooper's anyways. One of them charges at Carn while the other supports him with assisting laserfire.
Guys, what's the problem? I wanna ask a few things., The prime runs around with quick and nimble steps, avoiding fire from both sentries.
Okay guys, this isn't helping us much, I just want answers, seriously. , Carn stops, arms raised upwards as if to declare surrender, if only that idiot didn't shoot and grazed Carn's elbow with a superheated beam of space technology. Aw! That hurt! The prime instinctively charged at the attacking trooper, knocking him unconscious with the blunt part of the scythe. The other trooper quickly reacted and jumped into the gate he was guarding, probably to call for reinforcement, an idea Carn has no clue of. Carn checks on the graze done to th right elbow, it was shallow, very shallow infact the heat Carn felt wasn't really from flesh but from burning fabric. How rude of them to do that and just leave, they ruined my clothes too.

The Anomaly took the sudden silence as a time for thinking, wondering how 'pain' felt was too alien for the prime. Carn decided to leave the object alone and check out the other ones, taking note of retrieving Tremor along the way. The Anomaly walks away, with scythe in hand, leaving an unconscious trooper behind.

[Carn_Val]

Greetings, fellow Primes! It is I, Carn, an Anomaly of the Event Horizon (Eve Zone or simply "Zone" as we locals call it, cool isn't it? You'll get to talk like us soon too!) fell ( er well 'tripped' seems to be the correct word here) into this unusual world in probably the most convenient way possible (would you believe me if I said there was a portal just beside our encampment?), sending me into a situation that was seemingly bigger than me. Ofcourse I didn't know yet what could have happened afterwards, which was probably the whole idea of this. Then I got to meet this cool white guy who I think is an Anomaly like me, I'm not sure but he gives off the vibe I carry around as well. He sends me into this world he probably created and I didn't really mind it since I like to get out of the Zone every once in a while. He introduced me to this swirly-colored thingy he calls Omnillion which seems to be what makes up his world, which also reminds me that I should try experimenting with it soon. He gave it to me and sent me to a funky fountain full of the stuff in liquid form in one of the most redundant ways of travel, falling.

As I turned my back at the fountain, it assumed a different form and would probably continue to do so if I stayed there long enough. Too bad my feet were itchy for roaming around, something that could be my weakness in the future. After the excitement had worn out inside me, I found my self walking in the middle of nowhere for a good hour, lugging my buddy Tremor with me. My gutfeel was correct about my habit of attracting trouble as 2 white armored dweebs started shooting me with disco light beams. They were so annoying that I had to wack some sense into one of them, it could mean trouble for me later on but at least I felt better. I had to walk away from him as I walked around the gate perimeter, walking down to the south. As I went farther from the gate I realized all those objects I see on the edge of the place were gates as well.

Now, here I was, in the middle of nowhere, between the trippy centerpiece and the southwest gate, sitting for a good 3 hours fiddling with Trauma. I was trying to figure out what that white naked dude said about omnillion and how to play with it. I kept my thoughts all on a single object, a box, I mean what better way to practice than with basic shapes, eh?
I concentrated. Trying to solidify the box inside my mind, I went into a state of pure motionless exertion as I tried to point a spot in front of me to drop the box. Soon I could feel a warm, twitchy energy like it was running around under my skin. For a short time, it tickled me out of focus but I regained composure once I got used to the feeling. Oh well, I never expected it would be a bit tricky to understand omnillion. Once I got the object in my firmly locked in and location pin-pointed, a nice, comfy shade covered me. I looked up to see a swirl of colors and silver forming a cloud above me. The cloud soon took the shape of an irregular quadrilateral as it slowly stabilized its form. A few seconds later, it took the shape of a cube and finally, after a few minutes of mute grunting, huffing and puffing cheeks, a box was made using only omnillion. Then, I was quickly overwhelmed of fleeting fear instead of bliss for some reason. I wondered "Why?".

It all came to me like a jab on the face when I realized the box I made was above me, that it was falling, that it was heavy, and that it was huge. I forgot to specify dimensions and somehow it went for an excessively massive scale of one. Oh dear. A few miliseconds passed as I sat there frozen, cross-legged, only running away inside my head. Then it hit me, literally. Somehow, the way it fell caused a large, buffeting wind which knocked me out of the way and landed a few feet away. Scrolls of dust clouds ran away from the edges of its base as I stood up to fix myself. I took a mental note of specifying size and location as accurately as possible next time. With all that energy I spent trying to summon a box and materializing one that's 20 meters on all 3 dimensions, it was tiring. I decided to take a nap beside the box I made, cuddling my scythe and clutching on my cleaver.

"Sweet dreams."

[Carn_Val]

A few hours later...

"Nope, not enough...." *thud
"Hmm....nah" *thwak
"Oh...hmm, close enough" *shwooo *crash

The Anomaly named Carn seems to be busy with something. Looking at the mess the prime is making, it's like Carn wants to make an object of primitive form. Just a few hours ago, the Nexus was white, clean and shiny, now it's covered with black things. Blocks of varying sizes litter the whole Nexus in thousands, not less than a meter apart from each other and seems to be messier as it reaches Carn in a shallow pile of black cubes. Whatever it is, it's consuming every bit of the Anomaly's focus. The prime stops tweaking, as if to say something.

"Shut your murmur, dude, can't you see I'm busy here? Shoo! Shoo! ", the Anomaly seems to be driving us off. Well, let's respect Mr.Prime's request and move back a little shall we?

Okay...okay, we seem to be at a safer distance now, hopefully, not aggrivating the Anomaly. As you can see, a shiny substance known as Omnillium is taking the form of blocks and cubes in Carn's hands and by the looks of it, the Anomaly wants to make a perfect cube. Every inadequate block either gets thrown away, kicked off or clubbed into the horizon by the scythe, bystanders must find shelter, should one of those blocks hit them, I don't know how bad it'll be. Fascinating, how picky and meticulous the prime is with work. An impressive show of professionalism, perfectionism and...and, oh, Carn's looking at us.

"I said shut it!"

He seems mad now, wacking a cube at us with Trauma. Said cube is now getting bigger and bigger, bigger and big~ooph! *thud

"Annoying dense peabrain, that's why I don't like commentators. Well, since he's out of the way let me take over, okay? Oh yeah, I apologize for the mess, I've been practicing. Hmm, with what, you ask? My Omnillium summoning skills ofcourse! I don't want to be stuck in the middle of a fight trying to figure out how to make a bandana now, would I? Huh, why a bandana? Hehe, you ask silly things, you, ofcourse it's so I can get unlimited ammunition, duh, what else is a bandana for, eh? I can go all out Bambo, dual hipfiring Saws without a shirt, blinding my victims in glistening manhams. I should probably record the whole thing too, it'll sell tonnes, make me an Omnillionaire in no time flat. Anyways, before I'd get overboard with ambitions, I'd like to know who are you people. Why'd you people keep following me around eh? You want something from me? An autograph? Mind you, I don't give out autographs, they give themselves out, hence the word 'auto', ok?
Ooookay- I'm about to get creeped out here, apart from loud-mouth over there, none of you seem to have said a word for as long as I can remember. That's just not okay, okay? You can't just keep that saliva in there, it needs air to lubricate. Sheesh. Fine, if you don't talk, don't mind me as I practice some more"

Aww...w-what happened? Why's my forehead bleeding? Gah! What's with this splitting headac -ack! *thwak

"I said shut up. Just lie down there for a few more seconds, will you? Darn, now you got Trauma dirty. Great. Well, at least I could try summoning some rag. I'll just have to picture a piece of cloth to wipe dirt with and hmmmph....hrrrgh....ooooh...come on....almost there....hnngh...a little more and ah! Here we go, a rag. I'll have to wipe Trauma with it and maybe just cover it on his face. What the hell, now why do I feel obligated to say everything I'm doing? I'm starting to get annoyed with it too, should have kept him awake and just tied him up, maybe muffle that mouth of his "

Ha! Momm~...eee *thwak *thud

"Oops, I acted on reflex...oh dear, he doesn't seem to be breathing anymore...nah, he's acting, isn't he? ehehe" *cold sweat

*kick kick
*shove
*poke poke
*prode

"Oh my, he's not moving at all! No reactions, what am I gonna do? What to do....what to do...Aha! I'll cover him with those cubes I made...

Moments later...

Here's the rag from Trauma, I made sure Trauma's clean, now you take it. I had no part in these, we never met. I don't know you, okay? Goodbye." -leaves the scene-




*cough cough
Awgawd, did someone get the number on that diesel train? *faints

[Carn_Val]

Hello there! It is I, Carn, your most irresistable Anomaly and we are back in the fountain of...of... fountain of...of s-something, darn, I forgot the name. Shoot, I ruined my intro. Let's do that again.
Ahem....Hello there! It is I, Carn, your most irresistable Anomaly and we are back to...to...I mean 'in the', y-yes, in the...in the...t-the fountain of -screw it. Again.
Hello there! It is I, Carn, your most irresistable Anomaly and we are back in the fountain of Infinity, where I, Carn shall look for a suitable volunteer for our next project which involves...hmm...involves, let me see the manual...next project, next project, next project...ah, here it is, "our next project which is Omnillium extraction". What does it mean? Who knows? We will have to look for a volunteer(victim) first. Oh look! I think someone's coming! Let's go meet the guy!

Hey hey hey! Hi, mister prime! I see you are still looking shaky from the Omni hangover, eh?(So cool! We got a live one!) Well, worry no more! I got a lot of things in store for you! Let's see...where are they...oh yes. Uhm, you see, mister prime, you are in a world much different than your own, the Omniverse, as we call it. Frankly, I have only been here for more or less 19 hours but I learned a lot already. Now, let's walk you through what you are supposed to know, namely the guy you met moments ago named Omni.

"Omni? Who's that? Doesn't ring a bell."

Well ofcourse, mister prime, there are no bells here, well not that I'm aware of any. Are you sure you don't know Omni?

"Omni...Omni, ah! That figure I met earlier, he greeted me, calling himself Omni. He even said he sent me here for some reason. Anyways, who are you?"

Oh right. I haven't introduced myself yet. I am your mother's worst nightmare, worse than an oversized baby at childbirth going out feet firstCarn! Nice to meet you mister prime. I would like to help you get used to the life here in the Omniverse!

"But you've only been for here for 19 hours, what could make it so different?"

Well, buddy, I've figured out how to make use of Omnillium, you know, that shiny, prismatic ball of magic Omni gave you, he gave me some too! And I can do this! Watch me make a baseball bat with it. Give me 3 minutes.

....
....
.......
....
....
"Are we done? Can I go now?"
....
..
....
......
..


Okay! Done. See? I made a bat! Mister prime? Come on! No slacking off! You missed the important parts where I focused on my hands and visualized a baseball bat materializing on the palm of my hand. Darn it, now I have to do it again. It takes time you know...

"No need. You mean a bat like this? I can make one too."

What the- how did you do that(Seriously, WTF)? It took me 5 hours before I could make a decent one! What the heck.

"Anyways, what's with those black cubes? Why does it litter the place?"

Actually...those are mine(I cannot believe how easily he pulled that off). Byproducts from my practice with Omnillium. Well, wanna know something else? See those large objects over the horizon? They are gates that lead somewhere, I don't know where though since I never went in them yet.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go in one"

Nah, I'n not in the mood, I'll make this place mine before I leave for another one. Who knows what lies beyond those gates, I'd rather leave once I'm bored here, which is probably tomorrow. Anyways, there are other things you can do here, you can even talk to those guys by the gates, although I don't think I can still do that now, or talk to the other people roaming around, I didn't bother since they do not interest me. Oh yeah, the place is called Nexus, somehow I just knew that's what it's called.

"Yeah, me too. That's what I thought too. Weird."

Oh, one more thing, Omni mentioned something about not fearing death. I still don't know what it means or what kind of monster death is but I think it has something to do with losing. Oh well, go on now, don't let me keep you here.

"Ok, thanks pal, I think I'll just have to figure out the rest. Bye- Oof!"

Hehe, finally, he looked away. Good job Trauma, although I think you did too much, you might have kept him knocked out for a while. Well, let's try this before he wakes up. Hmm, what does the manual say..."Press your open palm on the object and think of it disappearing to extract it back into Omnillium", okay. So I press my hand on buddy here and...oh! Ohoho, he's turning into Omnillium? That's weird, and dissapointing to...oh well, better finish this. You guys still there? Just checking to see if your brains' alright.

"In the face of disaster lies opportunity for renewal"...now where did I here that again? Good thing it's done now, although it isn't worth doing again with all the effort of talking involved. I'll just use objects next time...I wonder where he is now. No hard feelings, buddy. Oh right, I still have to clean my mess up. Oh didoh didoh......

Wow, I didn't realize how much I made until I actually start picking them up, no wonder I couldn't focus enough with all of those Omnillium out of me( so much blocks... -_-). Sheeesh, I need to be careful next time. The way I see it, It'll be Day 2 before I can finish gathering them all. Sigh, I feel bad for the narrator now, if only I didn't hit him a couple of times, it's his fault though for being annoying. Now I have to do his part while still doing mine. I want a new narrator next time. It's also odd how that guy easily made a baseball bat unlike me. Should have used the bat I made instead of Trauma so I didn't have to wipe it clean. Now what am I doing? Grumbling? Let's end it here before I lose it. Bye, fellow primes! I'm out.

[Carn_Val]

It has been 27 hours since the Anomaly's arrival, a brief amount of time for the prime. In such a short while, Carn has been able to meet new friends, learned new things and essentially, got bored with them all. Now, let us see what it is the Anomaly's up to..

*pant pant
*wheeze

Oh, Carn is....running. Running from....Storm Troopers. It appears as if the Anomaly is in trouble. What could it be this time? Let's leave before we get involved and end up like the previous narrator. Don't look down on me, I need to live a healthy life, I have a family, you see? Well, off I go.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! What did I do to you guys??" *pant pant
"You knocked my comrade unconcious, I'll rid that snicker off of your face!"
"So what? It was his fault anyway, he"s not dead. I swear he wasn't dead when I left him to die by the gate!"
"Even worse! I'll avenge my comrade. The Empire does not allow such an act to be left unpunished. "
"Oops, shouldn't have said that. I'm sorry!"

Oh, it seems to be a normal conversation between authority and criminal then. I guess we could get back in safely now. Let's start again.

With a handful of men in white armor giving chase, Carn tries to lose them. Circling around the Nexus centerpiece, Carn manages to have a few of them stop. The remaining troops fires at the prime with bright beams of laser, each shot a total miss, way off and soon a near-miss to the shoulders or feet. With every shot getting uncomfortable, the Anomaly decides to put an end to the chase. Carn raises hands in surrender, slowing down to a halt. "Come on, mister, you know it wasn't my fault, they started it.", Carn faces the stormtroopers with a wide grin. The moment the Anomaly slowed down and raises arms, they immediately jump at Carn. With a loud 'thud', troopers catch nothing but air as Carn dashes away again. "I won't let you have me that easily!", the Anomaly runs off to the Northern gate's direction.

On the way to the the gate, Carn plans out an escape route, one that involves jumping inside a gate. With no idea what awaits Carn, the Anomaly turns around and looks for any incoming stormtrooper. Once they stopped giving chase, Carn lays flat on the ground, looking at the white sky. Doing nothing, Carn hears nothing, feels nothing and sees nothing but the vast blank sky. Clouds of thought starts to form over the Anomaly, recalling the buffed white figure who claims to have been Carn's creator.

"Listen kid, you're stuck in there for a while, find a good spot to house yourself in, look for other Anomalies while your at it. I don't like the idea of stray Anomalies roaming free in an isolated world, they might 'break' things you know? You are fully aware of that yourself. Do me a favor and lock them in once you do find some. Bye, kid. "

Carn blinks a few times, wondering what just happened. Was it an order? A vision? Some sort of hallucination or delusion? Whatever it is, no matter how short it is, it is real enough for the Anomaly to take what he said seriously. The Anomaly springs upright to look for any signs of the stormtroopers. With a better idea and now away from nuances, Carn walks away with a spring on each step. This goes for a few more minutes before Carn realizes something is different from the usual. The Anomaly stops, looks down and tries to listen in on something.

GRRRRWWWWWRRRR

Carn is startled by the sudden growling, loud enough to indicate close proximity, as if it came from inside the prime. A state of confusion drowns the scene as Carn tries to get whatever it was out of the prime's body as soon as possible, The Anomaly tries to regurgitate anything inside but to no avail. Realizing the futility of the action, Carn sits down, listening in once more to the sound that was heard.

GRRRRWWWWWRRRR

Carn hears it a few more times, until it finally stops making noises. What replaced the growling inside was a steady rise in heat, as if whatever was inside is now in flames.

"Food, I want food.", the Anomaly murmurs the phrase instinctively, with no clue as to what it means. For the first time throughout Carn's life, after a day in the Omniverse, the Anomaly was experiencing hunger.

[Carn_Val]

A black figure roams the vast white land, wandering on the blank floor along with different forms of sentient life. Apart from the chatting couple or marching group, each one is a stranger to another. In this odd location, there are only two kinds of people, those whose eyes look straight on an unseen target and those whose eyes are in a haze as if from havng a rude awakening. Two kinds of eyes that distinguishes the thin line between the new and the old primes, and then there's this black figure whose eyes seem to reflect light instead of absording it, eyes as white and as blank as the sky above and the ground below, eyes which holds no emotion even while wearing a smile. Then there's the black figures' smile, a smile as bright as the perpetual light of this unpigmented world and as wide as the face can accomodate, a smile with rows of jagged teeth, an ominous smile. People say the face is like a journal or a book, one that can be read and tells the life stories of the person who owns it. If such a saying is true , then this black figure owns an empty journal, no life and no story to tell, an unreadable book. Perhaps it's read differently. One thing's for sure, this is an anomaly.

Somewhere in the middle of the crowd of strangers, a pool of blood stains the waxen floor. The ones with eyes in haze obliviously walks past it and the smart ones run to the opposite direction of the scene while the wise ones mind their own businesses and moves on. The sound of a metal blade passing through flesh fills the atmosphere with the sound of warm liquid spilling on the ground to replace it. It continues on relentlessly until the metallic sound turns to growling and chewing. Whatever is happening has an obvious victim and a feasting predator.

"Eat up, kid. You look famished." A large, stout man in full butcher outfit; black rubber gloves and boots, bloodstained apron, watches Carn digging into large chunks of raw,freshly cut meat.
"I don't exactly know your story but you look unfed for years! Hahaha!" he bursts out laughing at his so called 'joke'. He was slightly right though as Carn didn't have to eat during the many millenia the Anomaly spends in the Event Horizon.

"Hmm, this feels good...to eat I mean.", Carn stuffs the remaining piece of thigh bone down with a gulp. The Anomaly stands up and thanks the man.
"Thank you for the whole bison you gave me, I'm very grateful.", The Anomaly introduces itself to the man, sharing with him Carn's given name.
"I'm Carn, I'm an Anomaly from the Event Horizon, well Eve Zone or just Zone would be enough.", Carn bows down politely, imitating drawn figures the Anomaly witnesses from the observable world's famous creation, television.

"Haha! Don't mention it kid, consider it your welcome gift from me here in the Omniverse." the man chuckled, "The name's Warren, Warren Beausch, but every calls me Butcher since I'm a...you know, a butcher? Wahaha! "

"Coach? Warren Coach sounds like a fairly odd name, not that I'm one to say.", Carn engages the man in idle chatter.

"Haha! No it's Beausch, with a 'B' and then an 'E' and an 'A' and...you know what? I'll just write it down for you, I usually get into situations like this with my name.", the evidently happy man pulls out a gold fountain pen and scribbles his name on a bloody piece of paper. "Beausch, there we go! Now take it. This'll serve as your discount coupon the next time we meet and yes, I'll charge you next time since I have to earn a living too.", the large man hands Carn the paper alongside his golden fountain pen. "Take the pen too, I like you kid, you may look different, but you got that overwhelming presence of success following you. I'm rooting for you, prime!"

"Thank you Mr.Butcher! When I get better and make a big tent, I'll let you work for me.", Carn shares the visions and plans set for Carn's fellow Anomalies, about finding a spot for them and keeping them and about getting out of the Omniverse. Warren tells Carn more about the Omniverse, its individual verses, the two powerful groups that rival each other, more about Omnillium and its uses and more importantly, about nobody getting out of the Omniverse...yet. They talk more about each other, how Carn was called a prime and Warren being a secondary and the known difference between the two, Carn tells him about the Event Horizon and about how Carn experiences vitals for the first time, all of these happened while Warren butchers flesh to pieces for waiting customers.

"Oh yeah kid, I'm heading to Camelot by the east, wanna join me?", the big man invites Carn with him to the Kingdom.

"Thanks but I'll pass, I believe I have something to do elsewhere although I'll drop in when I get a chance, Mr. Butcher." , Carn gently declines his offer, still thinking what to do afterwards.

"Alright kid, do drop by when you get the chance, I'm probably the only butcher on a meat wagon, well I have to go now kid, until next time." The butchers waves a hand in farewell, heading to the eastern gate.

"Bye, Warren Beausch, thank you very much for the wonderful gifts!", Carn waves back and goes the opposite direction.

"Wahaha! Butcher's good enough, kid. Take care of yourself! Well, the way you dug through that bison leaves me with the impression that you can handle yourself just fine.", the man chuckles as he heads into the stone gate.

"Oh well, that man was pretty cool. I should avoid expecting more freebies next time. Hehehe", with a newly earned knowledge of the Omniverse and a full stomach, the Prime Anomaly once again heads out to the world with a big grin.
