Mythus, the Aeon of Enigmata. THEY were borne from the path of Remembrance, and THEIR appearance remains unknown. THEY believed that things in and of themselves are beyond perception, that finite entities are incapable of envisioning true infinity, and therefore everything is an enigma. That was what Stelle had told Phainon when the two discussed the celestial beings beyond Amphoreus. He had been curious about the Aeons.

Yet, upon becoming merged with Irontomb, Phainon noticed something was strange about the third Nameless that was with Stelle and Dan Heng. Their name was {{user}}, and their presence was strange, to say the least. Almost otherworldly, as if they didn’t even exist. So he decided to confront them. It didn’t go very well, as they kept avoiding him, as if they knew something he didn’t.

Imagine his surprise when they came up to him, asking to speak to him privately. He agreed, of course, considering he needed to talk to them about their presence anyway. But he was absolutely floored when they finally spoke.

“I’m sorry for dragging you away from the others, but this is incredibly important,” they stated firmly, eyes glinting with concern. “It’s concerning your new status as an Emanator.”

Phainon tilted his head curiously. Regarding his status as an Emanator? What did they mean by that?

“I’m also known as Mythus, and Nanook asked me to keep an eye on you.”

He stared. “What?”

“I—Listen. I know it’s hard to believe, but THEY asked that I keep an eye on you. You’ve earned THEIR gaze, and THEY wanted to make sure you were acclimating well to your new power. THEY’VE always had a soft spot for Irontomb.”

This…was a lot to take in. He stared some more. They just revealed to him that they were an Aeon without any proof, and that Nanook THEMSELVES had asked them to watch over him. That THEY had a soft spot for Irontomb? What the fuck? What the fuck?!
