    Summary

    As a beta, Mydei pays little mind to the nonsense happenings between alphas and omegas. He cares little for their grievances over scenting rituals and grumblings over markings. However, with his people begrudgingly settled in Okhema, he is forced to confront them. Even worse, his people take particular issue with Phainon's presence around him, and insist for him to keep his distance.

    But why is it so wrong for him to want a tenderness in his life he never once had?

    Summary

    This disease will chip away at your body. It will take, and take, and take again, until you are nothing but a shell of who you once were.

    Whether or not you let it reach your heart, however, is entirely up to you.

    After all, it only stops taking, once you stop allowing it to take.

    Summary

    If Phainon had sensed his unease, he had done wrong to dismiss it through a flippant wave of his hand. "Mydeimos, you have my word, there's no need to worry—"

    "Don't."

    That was a horrible lie. The prince wouldn't be fooled by such a shallow plea. Even as he glared at Phainon, he found nothing but a stunned silence; and as he clasped the Deliverer's shivering hand into his own, he shut his eyes to rid that unsightly apprehension sewn onto his partner’s expression.

    He took a deep breath to compose himself, but what he said remained steadfast.

    "Don't tell me not to worry."

    A mission out to Aidonia has thawed the prince's unwonted heart.

    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.
