Day 4, Hour 4: THE First Gu of Emotions sends its power at Achilles Adrastia.|
|It sends no feeling this time. It sends pure power, raw and heavy, enough to crush him outright.|
|Achilles Adrastia tries to assimilate this too.|
|He uses the weavings of Emotions he has already taken to soften the blow.|
|It helps, very little.|
|THE First Gu of Emotions sits halfway to Unfathomable Immensity. It is among the weaker First Gu, and it is still far beyond anything in this army.|
