    Summary

    He can do it on his own. Or rather, he will make it on his own. He can be an ill, sweaty mess after he's inside of the apartment and then bother Mydei.

    He'll make it, no problem.

    In theory, it sounds like a good idea. In retrospect, it makes him want to slap himself again.

     
    Or,
    Phainon trying to convince himself everything's fine while experiencing hypoglycemia and Mydei helping.

    Summary

    "In the next life," Mydei says, and Phainon swallows. The next life, because there is nothing for them here. Maybe in the next life, Chrysos Heirs and heroes won't matter. No need for the deliverer Phainon longs to be. Will there be a next life? Even if someone knows, it won't be Phainon. He isn't involved in the affairs of the Chrysos Heirs. "Promise me you'll come see me again. My library is always open to you."

    "Of course," Phainon says. He can't help but laugh at how silly all of this is. "I could never miss out on seeing a real Kremnoan dictionary."

    Mydei sighs, but he is smiling. "Make fun of me as much as you want. As long as you stay right here in Okhema where we can keep you safe."

    Phainon nods, thinking of Cyrene's dreams, the card labeled "Deliverer," and the wooden sword he's brought from home. It's a silly dream, one ruined by the moment Phainon realized his blood runs red.

    Phainon was not in love.
    It wasn't enough to be called love.
    There was nothing more to say.

    Summary

    He is not going to last this cycle. A thousand cycles ago he had to drape himself in an old cloak taken from the ruins of Aidonia to hide the worst of the damage he has done to himself. A hundred cycles ago he shattered Dawnmaker, and has not had the capability to forge it anew.  Fifty cycles ago he picked up a set of armor from the ruins of Castrum Kremnos to hide the state of his face. Forty nine cycles ago he gave up convincing Aglaea and Cerydra and Tribios on who he was under the armor and cloak and fell back to the only plan he had left, the one he knew would always work.

    Last cycle, the Lance of Fury almost tore his body into pieces before he could take the final coreflame.

    And so now he is here, following the young version of himself.  They are close to the end, just before the mission to Styxia and a few months before the final advance on Aquila that heralds the death of light, of hope, of everything. But he is not going to last this cycle.

    Not unless he tells this Phainon, this Khaslana, everything.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    “ Amphoreus’s code cracks around him, red and black error codes overlapping as cycles upon cycles of memories converge upon him. He is Time, he is Passage, he is Law. He is Earth, he is Ocean, he is Sky. He is Trickery, he is Death, he is Strife. He is Reason. He is Romance. He is the one who bears the world. He is Amphoreus itself, all those who will never escape the cave, all those who see beyond and hope. He is the lock that keeps Irontomb sealed, the turnkey that moves the clock over and over, he is Amphoreus’s Destruction. ”
