When the Sun Fades Away - Phaili AU

.:::Neikos496 could not be found:::.

After managing to wound Nanook, Phainon got absorbed by Irontomb, completing the process and completing the calculations.

But, influenced by Phainon and the countless memories from those 33,550,336 cycles, he develops a certain - and twisted - intrigue and curiosity with the people and the world that nurtured him for so long.

He takes on Phainon's form and essentially taking over his place in the world of Amphoreus and enters the same time as the Trailblazer, willing to observe and witness these creatures that both helped his calculations but also hindered the process, before Irontomb plans to fulfill his role.

Openly communicating who he is - not Phainon but the one who will bring Destruction to the Erudition and the cosmos - he takes Phainon's place.

In every possible way.

And with the Trailblazer's explanation, they know they don't stand a chance of defeating Irontomb. Not with Phainon and all his powers being a part of him.

And there's the chance of Phainon being still in there. Somewhere. Locked away. Trapped within Irontomb's mind and data.

Stuck, with no other option but to go along with Irontomb's intentions, they try to figure out if Phainon is indeed still in there and if so, how he can regain control of Irontomb - an Emanator of Destruction.

And with Irontomb taking over every aspect of Phainon's life, that includes his relationship with Lina.

She goes along with it. She has no other option either. Irontomb wants her, not out of romantic feelings, but because the memories and feelings Phainon used to have linger so heavily in Irontomb's data. This relationship has been so important to Phainon's life that Irontomb considers it as such too.

Everyone is constantly on edge. Walking through a minefield that might go off the moment anyone - especially Lina - takes a misstep, which would have catastrophic consequences for the entire cosmos. Irontomb can delete them all with a metaphorical press of a button and they're all accutely aware of it.

They rely on the fragile hope that spending time with Lina will awaken Phainon within Irontomb, give him enough strength to break through again.

It's all they can do.

And maybe, if Lina closes her eyes to shut out those burning red eyes, she can will herself to go through it all.

But maybe, witnessing Irontomb taking everything away from him, Phainon's rage at Irontomb - at the Destruction - can burn through and tear apart his chains once more.

So I sent a letter to a friend the other day both to practice my gaeilge and also to catch him up on my life and I didn’t think much of it as I sent it off

but upon reflection, I have just sent this poor man two pages front and back of hand written bad news. Just wall to wall horrible medical news, personal tragedy, all written in matter-of-fact four-year learner Irish.

Just a keepsake. A proof of my insanity

[fcku-justletmelook]

i just woke up to a big black spider crawling up my leg. i freaked out ofc, jumped up, shook out my bedsheet, etc. and he hid away somewhere

so now i can either take over my mother's room, where moths are inevitable (fuck i hate moths), go downstairs and hang out with mum herself, or return to a bed that may or may not contain big scary spider(s)

i Do Not Like these options

“With love’s light wings did I o’er-perch these walls; For stony limits cannot hold love out.”

I posted about this wip earlier today but it’s seriously taken over 75% my brain space, so I thought I’d formally introduce it so my ramblings will make semi-sense. to give an elevator pitch, it’s basically: two young faeries disguise themselves as mortals and hide out in the human lands (a backwater town in Indiana) in order to hide from a monster mind-controlling their friend. It’s got classic fae lore, a faerie-hunter-turned-father-figure, and the main couple are a magical version of Jacin and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles (childhood friends-to-lovers/knight and princess). I’m already so obsessed that I’ve got the whole prologue finished for their novel and its outline is almost fully written out. so anyway here’s a redraw of that famous painting of Romeo and Juliet but with my main characters, Paloma Cindora and Tristan Serenith.
