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.

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
“Intra-Cognition is null. Responds only to destructive stimuli.”
The sentence barely registers in Mydei’s mind as he stares at the shadow of the man who was once Phainon, who sits completely still in a chair, dull eyes staring sightlessly ahead.
“Damage to mind function detected… Possibly irreversible…”
The Antikytheran-like man continues reading through the digitized logs impartially, as if merely reciting a speech. But every single word he says drives another stake into Mydei’s heart.
Mydeimos the Undying scarcely bowed his head, rarely lowered himself onto his knees, and never, ever begged. And yet he finds himself doing all three things now, before the broken shell of his beloved.
---
Irontomb’s birth is prevented, and Amphoreus is saved. But it’s at great cost to Phainon, whose psyche finally crumbled under the devastating damage to his mind, body, and heart.
But Mydei and the other Chrysos Heirs will not accept this outcome. For what is a dawn without the sun?

Summary
“...It still doesn’t feel real, Mydei,” he admits after a while, his voice quiet after working its way past the lump in his throat. “Is it…really okay for me to live alongside everyone like this?”
Understanding Phainon’s subtle request, Mydei nods. “This is the dawn you fought so hard for, Deliverer. Why wouldn’t you be allowed to experience it? And if you have any doubts that this is real…”
Gently, he takes one of Phainon’s wrists, then presses the palm to his chest, over his heart.
“Then let this heartbeat be proof of our shared existence.”
--
Phainon had grown accustomed to endless suffering and isolation, but Mydei always has a way of bringing him back into the light.

Summary
In 33,550,337 cycles, Mydeimos the Undying can count the number of peaceful lifetimes he’s had on his fingers. Prolonged quietude is a foreign concept to the son of Strife, and it does not come as a surprise to him that nightmares continue to frequent his slumber, even within this tranquil Eternal Page. But the ones that have been tormenting him recently are particularly vivid. Because he had seen the scene playing out before him in reality—
—of Phainon’s body shattering into millions of pieces, an image accompanied by the notion that they, the heroes, could only answer his suffering with more pain, that death was his only possible escape, that none of them could not even hold him and bring him solace in his final moments.
--
Dreams of Phainon's death still haunt Mydei on many nights.
