Daydreaming at work today.
Of Khaslana accompanying Stelle into the past as the cycle resets. Except…he can’t turn off the ‘emanator thing.’
Unlike Flamereaver, Khaslana—the blazing sun that he is—can’t do ‘inconspicuous.’ It’s kinda a problem.
…Nikador split apart so why not Kephale and Oronyx?
A series of events happen and Stelle and Khaslana end up impersonating shards of Oronyx and Kephale. Stelle already has the Demi-God of Time thing going on and since this cycle’s Coreflame of Time is still in the temple…shard of Oronyx is plausible. And Khaslana has his whole ‘Sun’ thing going on which fits with Kephale’s thing in Okhema. He’s the easier sell, really, given the sheer power he gives off. Titan is the only explanation within the Amphoreus frame of reference.
Fun new lore drop for the people of Amphoreus—seems Kephale and Oronyx are an item.
Would also mean that Kephale and Oronyx would be believed to be off the table for the Flame Chase—for a time at least. Like with Nikador, a Coreflame can’t be claimed while a Titan is ‘split.’ And currently Kephale is both giving Light to Okhema and galavanting around shirtless. And Oronyx is both sleeping in the Temple of Oronyx and digging through dumpsters for trash and helping citizens with random errands.
A cycle is a loonnngg time—Stelle and Khaslana have time to fight Lygus and also mess around together. The Trailblaze is great in they can get serious when it’s called for, but they’ll never been all work and no play. They bring an optimism that Khaslana nearly needs.
