    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.

    Summary

    “Ha! Not even the King of Kremnos can defeat the Great Imperator in drinks,” Cerydra crows, slurring proudly. “I shall remain the greatest, most undefeatable in history!”

    That actually gets Mydei to perk up. He sluggishly lifts his head, the movement so unsteady that Phainon’s hands shoot out to steady him by the shoulders. Mydei doesn’t even seem to notice—which is worrying. Sure, this might be an era of peace for them, but would he really let anyone touch him like this when he’s this drunk?

    “Pah! Hish—history?” Mydei fires back, the word wobbling out of his mouth so badly Phainon briefly wonders how much they’ve been drinking. “I’ll—I’ll tell you about history. It starts in Cycle Zero.”

    Wait. What.

    When Aglaea asked him to pick Mydei up after a drinking session with Cerydra, Phainon did not expect to hear Mydei recount all the different ways he has loved across 33 million cycles.

    Summary

    The future is space,
    earth-colored space,
    cloud-colored,
    color of water, air,
    black space with room for many dreams,
    white space with room for all snow,
    for all music.

    Behind lies despairing love
    with no room for a kiss.
    There's a place for everyone in forests,
    in streets, in houses;
    there's an underground space, a submarine space,
    but what joy is to find in the end,
    rising,

    an empty planet
    great stars clear as vodka,
    so uninhabited and so transparent,
    and arrive there with the first telephone
    so that so many men can later discuss
    all their infirmities.

    -Future is space, original by Pablo Neruda.

    Phainon leaves Amphoreus seeking a new path. A ragtag group of Crysos Heirs (plus Stelle and Dan Heng) follow him.

    This triggers a chain reaction of surprising friendships, unlikely alliances and lots of adventures.

    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.
