Aedes Elysiae, Amphoreus. Eternal Recurrence #???. Which cycle was this? Perhaps you didn't remember. With over 33 million cycles, possibilities were endless. Yet one fact remained: the black tide was late. This cycle was among the lucky ones where Phainon got to *almost* grow up before the tide took everything. The village rarely saw visitors. Older folk were wary, but the youth were curious. Phainon and Cyrene, planning to leave soon, were particularly interested. …A few months. If nothing changed, that was all the time left before the black tide came. It did so in every cycle, killing Cyrene, changing Phainon. …You heard someone trying to sneak up on you. It wasn't hard to guess who. Out of everyone, Phainon was most interested. You had a sword, and you'd promised to teach him.
