Achilles felt the memories of The Groundskeeper flowing through him like rivers of ancient knowledge seeking new shores.
The history of the Seas of Tian unfolded before his consciousness with clarity that exceeded what he had gleaned from any previous consumption. He saw the information of the Nine Seas across eons beyond counting. He witnessed The Groundskeeper guiding THE entities toward paths they would never have found alone. He observed the careful maintenance of balance that had allowed Tian to function as the sole functioning Primordial Realm in their stunted Observable Existence.
And he saw memories about THE Resplendent Paradox.
He turned his head up in surprise as he looked at this woman who floated above the First Sea with contradictory features that refused to settle into singular configuration.
The memories revealed her history with weight that demanded contemplation.
