    Summary

    The Era Nova is here. Amphoreus is real, the Chrysos Heirs all survived, and Phainon remembers everything. He tries, he really does, but what use is a Deliverer to a world that's already been saved? So he flees, and before he knows it, five years have passed.

    Nothing changes. Amphoreus thrives but there's always another world that needs saving, and that's how Cyrene finds him one day. She hands him a note—coordinates to a sleepy town on a small planet.

    There, Phainon finds a library.

    Summary

    In the kingdom of esports, there is a prince - Mydei. He has everything: fame, money, millions of admirers. Everything but one thing - a spark. He is a perfect victory machine, long having forgotten what it means to truly play.

    And then there's Cinderella - Phainon. He has nothing but debt, an old laptop that roars like an airplane, and a talent seen only by a handful of loyal friends.

    Their worlds were never meant to collide. But one random tournament, one temporary nickname, and one brilliant play change everything. The Prince notices someone in the crowd of no-names who makes his heart beat faster. But Cinderella, true to the canon, flees the ball. And this time, he doesn't even leave a glass slipper behind.

    Obsessed with the search, Mydei issues a 'royal decree 2.0', turning the entire internet upside down. But finding his Cinderella is only the beginning. It's much harder to convince him that he's not just another trophy. And even harder to protect their fragile fairytale from the dragons of the real world, who wear not scales, but hoodies, and are armed not with fire, but with knives.

    Summary

    No one can explain why the most terrifying man in Amphoreus' magical underground chose a common cat as his magical familiar. Or why Khaslana is somehow even more terrifying than him. Enter a realm where scritches are the highest honor and only the chosen few survive unmolested. Nanook is not one of those chosen few.

    Summary

    Without another word, Mydei turns toward the hallway and heads for the bedroom. He can hear Phainon's footsteps trailing behind him.

    At the bedroom door, Mydei hesitates, blinking through the haze at the dim shape of his bed. "I…only have one bed."

    "Oh no," Phainon says dryly. "The horror."

    OR, after one unforgettable night in the temple, Mydei realizes he's picked up a supernatural stray who happily settled in, has no understanding of boundaries, and acts like he belongs wherever Mydei is.

    Summary

    I am Phainon of Aedes Elysiae.

    Before the outside world gets to see him, he makes sure to wash his face, brush his teeth and style his hair. One, two, three layers of clothing so he doesn’t have to see his own skin. A drop of cleansing oil to soften the hands and brighten the face.

    A smile.

    A tilt to his head and skip in his steps.

    Welcome, Phainon of Aedes Elysiae.

    Summary

    “Three sessions.” Khaslana says at least, with his empty doll eyes under the shadow of the trees, he looks more like a ghost than ever. “I give you three sessions. If you don’t get to paint something I like, I leave.”

    “Hm, you really think I can’t.”

    “I know you can’t.”

    How terribly arrogant. Mydei grins, wild and prideful, heart thumping with what might be either adrenaline or anger. “Three sessions.” He agrees.

    They say whoever attempts to make a muse out of Khaslana goes mad. Mydei thinks that’s fine. He wants less of a muse than he likes a challenge. Somewhere along the way, he falls in love.

    Summary

    "Chiron only trains heroes." He repeats the same words from that day. "It’s not something you choose.”

    "And you are one?"

    The question stung. Mydeimos’ jaw tightened. "It was foretold."

    “Right. Foretold,” Phainon scoffed, as if it were a minor detail. “Well, no one’s foretold anything about me, so I guess I have to make my own way.”

    One trained by fate, the other chasing it. The gods, of course, remain entertained.
    Chiron watches them both, and wonders how many ways a heart could break.

    Or; Mydeimos and Phainon grow up together in the forest, undergoing a decade of training to become heroes.

    Summary

    “I know of one such place that might draw the Blemished one’s gaze to you, if you were to destroy it in its entirety.”

    “Where?”

    “The planet where Irontomb met its demise,” Celenova said. “If you destroy such a place, They will definitely bear witness to its destruction.”

    //OR, After Irontomb's defeat, through the sacrifice and loss of their original Deliverer, Amphoreus is made real. Three years later, the Destruction's youngest Lord Ravager arrives with a plan to destroy Amphoreus and gain Nanook's attention for long enough to kill his Aeon. Said plan does not accommodate the resurgence of forgotten memories.

    Summary

    Irontomb no longer exists, or maybe it never existed at all. Amphoreus greets the universe beyond the skies, broken but determined to see the real future on the horizon.

    It's a happy ending, but Phainon feels as if the entire world is falling on top of him like rocks, as if he's drowning in the sudden reality of it all like a sailor lost at sea.

    So he makes the only choice he can think of: he runs away.

    A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs and two experts on interstellar travels follow him.

    Summary

    When Khaslana had decided to desert the Antimatter Legion and take the young twin Stellaron bearers with him, he had mostly done it out of defiance. This isn’t his first act of rebellion against his “benefactors,” but it certainly is his most egregious one, and he doubts that he’ll be so easily forgiven if and when they manage to drag him back into their fold, as they always have done.

    He only hopes he can give Caelus and Stelle a life far, far away from Destruction before that time comes.

    Because over the course of their time on the run, he has grown to cherish these two innocent children, who greet a monster like him with the purest of adoration.

    --

    In an alternate universe where Amphoreus was always real, the Antimatter Legion invaded and destroyed it, and Khaslana was turned into a Lord Ravager against his will. When he's given the task to nurture Stelle and Caelus, children who bear Stellarons in them, he flees with them instead, taking them under his wing and trying to raise them to the best of his ability.

    Following the poisoning of many warriors within Okhema, the Chrysos Heirs find themselves confined to Okhema at Aglaea's command. This would be more than fine if only Phainon hadn't started acting... weird.

    Summary

    The god-king had forgotten many sensations during his long battle against the black tide, but he had clung tightly to his memories of Phainon—memories of his smiles, his warmth, the sheen of his pearly skin, the contour of his muscles, all a reflection of his vitality.

    Now, the body he knew so well is ashen and broken, speaking silently of an eternity of torment, even though its owner attempts to veil the weight of that suffering behind a distant gaze.

    --

    Phainon's skin may burn to the touch, but Mydei will never let go of him.

    Summary

    Amphoreus is saved, everything turned out ok, the Trailblazer and Cyrene used their book to bring all the people they have met and the whole world back to life and into the star system. Everything is great.

    Ok, so some people were brought back from different time frames, and are a little behind modern times. That's ok, everything is ok, they are all back and everything can be worked through.

    Audata is just glad her son is alive, sure she is grappling with the fact that he was just thirteen the last time she saw him. That's ok. What is not ok is the letter she received from her son mentioning he was bringing a guest to visit. This would be something she would be ok with, too. Except for Cyrene dropping the Dark Tide bomb of her son being married, something he conveniently forgot to mention in his letter. Oh and that his husband happens to be the Crown Prince of Castrum Kremnos. That is also something she would have liked to know too.

    Summary

    Long has the honor of Kremnos fallen. Upon the news that the Crown Prince lives, in yet another fit of cowardice, King Eurypon hires an assassin on the eve of his son’s 25th birthday to take care of him. He should have known, however, that the only person foolish enough to accept the job would have also been foolish enough to fall in love.

    It wouldn’t have been a problem—if only the Undying Prince hadn’t fallen in love too.

    Summary

    With his pure white hair and silver-white garb and armour, the young man stands in stark contrast to his surroundings, the holy city’s torches casting him in an almost ethereal glow. It is an image so out of place in the darkness of Amphoreus’ evernights, for the man is so radiant, so beautiful, so seemingly untainted in innocence, and so unlike the horrors and atrocities that Mydeimos has borne witness to during the time he's spent roaming the world.

    He is certain he would be captivated by the sight, if not for the greatsword the man is holding, as well as the piercing stare from those bright—yet empty—blue eyes.

    --

    Mydei's and Phainon's first battle lasted ten nights. It sparked a connection that would last whole lifetimes.

    “You had to go through that thirty-three times?” Tribbie asked. Her voice wobbled with unshed tears.

    Phainon did the only thing possible in such a situation: He panicked.

    “Uh,” he said, because clearly his eloquence had abandoned him during one of the cycles, “yes?”

    // OR, circumstance leads to the heirs thinking Phainon only lived through thirty-three cycles. Rather than correcting them on this, Phainon doubles down and decides this is the new narrative he'll go along with so as to avoid worrying them too much.
