****(POV)
For some reason, I feel extremely uneasy. At first, I felt a sense of peace and serenity. After all, I had just resolved to ask the Gu Deity for help.
There is no being more deserving of our trust than our God. I still remember the time that we were nothing more than runaways. We would practice Gu training, hidden from the world in shame. It is because of the Eternal Gu Breeder that we managed to live without fear.
Of course, the mortality rate is still high. This is how it is when one trains Gus. But all that doesn't matter. Dying isn't that scary. What is extremely terrifying is not having control of our own destiny.
Being at the mercy of others is the worst feeling ever. It is extremely degrading!
But now, there is something weird. Before, whenever I prayed to our god I would feel this fuzzy and warm feeling in my chest that kept me going. Now, it is gone.
