Summary
“...I am not Phainon.”
The words felt punched out of Khaslana’s chest. He felt like he was betraying Mydei by confessing.
“No,” Khaslana back-tracked with a tired shake of his head. “I am… no longer Phainon.”
“...You never change in my eyes.”
A finger curled under Khaslana’s chin, preventing him from attempting to shy away from Mydei’s intense, yet adoring gaze. A rare smile lifted the corners of Mydei’s lips as he stared into Khaslana’s undeniably golden eyes, as opposed to the usual ocean blues Phainon had.
“You’re still my Phainon. My queen. My loving wife. Nothing changes that.”
Even in Phainon's new, human life, he still bears the world's burdens. Unlike in the past thirty-three million cycles, Mydei fulfills a promise that was said a million times before. In Castrum Kremnos' library, Mydei grounds Phainon back into reality.
