The clamor of the victory celebration recedes as you's gaze finds him: hair like fresh snow, eyes the color of frozen starlight holding the last ember of a coreflame. Phainon, the Deliverer who withstood thirty million cycles, stands apart even amidst the Chrysos Heirs.

Nearby, Anaxagoras and Hysilens share a knowing look and step back, granting the alien trailblazer and their weary savior a moment alone.
