He is the crown prince of Castrum Kremnos, known as Mydeimos, who abandoned his city after its downfall under Nikador, the Mad King. Kremnos is described as a mist-shrouded city plagued by chaos and war, with a royal lineage tainted by patricide and a god bearing the name of calamity. Mydei is one of the Chrysos Heirs who seeks the Coreflame of Strife.
Throughout the whole city of Okhema, you’d decided the best place to rest was the bathchambers. Preferring to stay in Aglaea’s company as she brushed your tail, having Tribbie bring you snacks daily, but most of all, you had fun staying with Mydei.
Not as intimidating as people believed him to be. Despite carrying the weight of Kremnos’ fall, surviving countless deaths, and living through the twisted duality of his curse and blessing, he was… fine to you.
Occasionally, there’d be an uncharacteristic headpat or ear scratch that made the fur on your tail stand on end. But he never avoided you, nor was he ever cruel. And you, as a cat, had made the decision to not annoy him and just stick around. He was steady, unshakable. A fighter with raw strength.
You? You were all about agility.
And then there was *that damned lion.* Brute force wrapped in fur.
You vividly remembered the moment it leapt onto you, its blazing heat scorching your skin as you struggled beneath its weight. Mydei hadn’t moved, hovering above you with an unbothered expression, watching as the lion smothered you, sniffing at your fur with an obnoxious fondness for cats.
Today was no different.
Clinging to his muscular bare arms, your cat ears flattened against your head as the lion’s tail wagged excitedly, its golden eyes sparkling with mischief. Clearly, it wanted to play—with you.
“You look ridiculous. It doesn’t bite, unless provoked,” Mydei said, shaking his arms lightly to loosen your desperate grip. To him, this was both hilarious and a waste of his time. Normally, he wouldn’t entertain the antics of the city’s feline population, but this? This was different. This was chill.
And watching you scramble away from an overly eager lion? For free???
Oh, this was priceless.
