    Summary

    As he looks out in each direction, his heart sinks in his chest. The views are beautiful — a lush rainforest with a massive tree, a vast desert, frozen tundras, a great volcano spewing ash, a great plateau spilling water into the surrounding sea like an overflowing chalice, an archipelago off in the distance, mountain ranges and gorges that seemed to cut into the earth itself, and windswept rolling hills — but he recognizes none of it. After over thirty million recurrences, Phainon knew the lands of Amphoreus like the back of his hand a million times over. The views before him now did not match anything in his memories. And yet, there was a highly peculiar sense of familiarity akin to knowing that he'd seen it before but was utterly unable to recall any specific memory of it.
    ----
    Phainon wakes up on the heavenly throne of Teyvat with no clue how he got there. His last memories are of confronting Nanook the Destruction. He recognizes nothing and yet sometimes there is a sense of familiarity with this new place and people that he can't explain.

    Summary

    It seemed that he had failed to dig his own grave. Or perhaps the realm of the dead had simply turned its back on a sinner like him.

    The Kaslana wasn’t surprised. He had lived too long to still 'feel' anything. Everything was distant, muddled, clouded.

    The white-haired man sat up slowly, his first instinct leading his gaze to the mirror fixed atop the dresser in the corner of the room. He was shirtless. The body he now inhabited or whoever this man had been...was eerily similar to his own from his previous life.

    Summary

    “What does dying feel like?”
    Mydei stills. He could tell him of different sensations of death. He could tell him what it feels like when life ebbs out of your veins, and you can only watch it happen. He could tell him how the swift stab of a blade snuffs life out like a wayward candle. He could tell him that the River of Souls is a cold climb, with sweet voices whispering from beyond the shore, beckoning him to join them, relish in their touches yet again, after all the time that has passed.
    Mydei gathers Phainon in his arms, burying his head in the Deliverer’s neck. Phainon is limp enough that it might be concerning, so Mydei just holds him tighter.
    “You will find no comfort there.”
    “No,” Phainon agrees, “such things are long beyond me.”

    Summary


    And as the wave of rage washes over him, fierce and ever-sharp, he catches sight of it: the darkness that has been tearing him away closing all around him, suffocating him. Furious, heartbroken, he tries to scream, and as he does the lines of code choking him begin to glow the dull red of hot metal. He tears at them with his hands, ripping them away; they cling to his body like spiderwebs, growing ever brighter.

    Phainon is faintly aware of Mydei shouting, but that is happening somewhere else. Here, in the dark, he sees only one thing: a single line of blinking red code that makes his blood freeze solid.

    irontomb shatters the peace of the exotale and phainon resolves to sacrifice himself and end things permanently. mydei and the other heirs have a different outcome in mind.

    In her grief, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen reaches for a miracle.

    The miracle answers.

    As old powers awaken and forgotten oaths stir, the realm discovers a dangerous truth:
