    Summary

    Phainon’s soulmark appeared when he was a young boy in Aedes Elysiae. It was supposed to tell him the name of his soulmate, but it was written in an alphabet he had never seen before. He delighted in the idea of a soulmate from a faraway land.

    Of course, life didn’t turn out as he’d planned. By the time he arrived in Okhema, love was the last thing on his mind. He'd never learned how to read the mark, and at this point, he'd resolved he never would. He'd dedicated his life to the Flame Chase.

    Once he met Mydei, he felt a connection he had never experienced with anyone. Surely, if he had a soulmate, it had to be him. They started spending more time together, growing closer, until Mydei informed him - he had a soulmate, but it wasn't Phainon.

    (Or was it?)

    Summary

    “Apart from Kremnos’ traditions, what do you have left?”

    It hits Mydei that he can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel, that he’s been praying under a sky that doesn’t look down and that his grief has been growling for recognition, and Phainon knows.

    “What else belongs to me?”, which really just means, What else am I? and What else is left for me? and Who can I run to when I don’t know what to do with myself?

    OR: a journey of coming home.
