Summary
In hindsight, it may have been a bad idea to let Phainon choose his prize for winning their most recent battle. Then again, perhaps it was Mydei’s fault for thinking the Deliverer could possibly have a normal request in mind, but it wasn’t like he expected to walk in on…this.

Or, Phainon buys a new toy to use on Mydei.

Summary
Phainon gave Mydei a wooden box.
He eyed it suspiciously. He just sat up from his breakfast, intending to head to the palace to wash up when the Deliverer bumped into him, a strange light in his eyes. The voices of scholars starting their morning debates sounded in the distance.
It didn’t look unusual. It had simple decorative engravings on the sides, a plain, dark wood. He unclasped the lid, raising it with his first knuckle.
From the limited view, he saw an extremely thick and long glass ‘instrument’, which lay on a bed of red silk.

Summary
Unsure of how to deal with the aftermath of the failed Trial of Strife, Mydei and Phainon revert back to familiar grounds, to what they’re used to. Competing. Except, maybe a change of scenery is just enough to push them both back into foreign territory, and maybe there is no way for their relationship to turn back to what it used to be.
And thus, an unprecedented sauna battle commences.

Summary
Mydei’s throat suddenly feels dry when he notices his own reflection.
He lived it, he knows what is happening. And still, it’s a different experience to witness the terror so evident on his twelve-year-old face. His body is littered with injuries, gold smeared everywhere. Blond hair matted against his skull with sweat and blood, snot and tears streaked through his face. The frozen image of him tries to pull away from his captors, the chains of metal shackles pulled taut as he struggles against them.
Mydei feels the phantom tightness around his neck where one of the manacles had been fastened, barely allowing him to breathe.
Phainon and Mydei stand directly between his parents, looming over the miserable image of Mydei in his youth. He forgot how small he used to be, not even reaching their shoulders in his past state.
Phainon's warm palm lands on Mydei’s bare shoulder. “This is too much, we can just—”
Mydei shrugs the hand off himself and activates the shard.
or; Mydei faces the parts of his childhood he thought he left behind

Summary
“You accepted my proposal. We made a verbal contract.” Mydei unfolded his arms as his chest began to heave. “You drank my liquor and said you would have me!”
There was a distinct ringing in Phainon’s ears that seemed to be the sound of his brain rattling loose in his skull. What in Kephale’s name was that last bit? They had drunk together only the once, more than a year ago.
And actually, for that matter, what the hell was that first bit?
Phainon is somehow the last to learn that he's engaged to Mydei.
