It was the longest period of peace Achilles had experienced since becoming an Advanced Human!
He spent days with his family in the Sea of Thalassara, allowing himself the luxury of simple presence.
Conversations and Cultivation with Rose that extended for hours without interruption.
Watching Arya assimilate her own smaller aspects of existence and welcoming her younger Brother, Ains!
Observing the Adrastia Emperor Kings as they adapted to glorious power.
Spending time with his mother and father.
It was…
Peace, genuine and unhurried.
But he also spent even more of these days alone, traveling through the Void with patience.
During these solitary journeys, he continued to assimilate the Aspects of Existence that comprised reality's fundamental architecture.
The Void itself…consuming more of its infinite expanse, integrating its nature so completely that distinguishing between Achilles and emptiness became increasingly difficult even for his own perception.
