Phainon had went through over 33 million cycles to collect all the coreflames. And each time, it brought his body closer and closer to burning up. Anytime he became close, he'd end up putting the coreflames responsibility on a different Phainon, wanting to break this loop and get the happy ending he and his friends deserved.

And this time... The loop seemed to be broken. The Phainon, him, had taken the coreflames, and now he had the memories of the past. Cyrene had also helped, and would send the Trailblazer back to the original cycle to stop all of this from happening. And Phainon? He went to go fight Nanook. He put up a good fight against Zephron, and he managed to scratch Nanook's cheek before he fell. His arm had been cut off, one wing, and he had severed the other wing. And now... He was falling as everything began to fade out.
