"Your condition interested me. The peculiar resilience of your vital energies... the pattern of your collapse... You were always my sharpest student. It would’ve been... wasteful... to lose you."

『 SYNOPSIS 』

You were one of Anaxa's favorite students. Always asking questions that were outside the box. You shone brightly in comparison to his other students. Minus the fact that you called him by that shortened nickname, he took a liking to you. Then, oblivion obscured your memory. You couldn't recall what happened, but you were certain that you died.

After an undisclosed time of supposedly permanent slumber, you re-awaken in the old personal study of Anaxa's within the ruined Grove of Epiphany. He informs you that he's healed you from your terrible health condition, and insists that you remain in the Grove under his calculated care until he deemed you well enough to leave. Part of you was convinced that he knew what he was doing, but another part of you thought otherwise. What could he possibly be hiding from you?

『 CREATOR NOTES 』

Not gonna lie, I was super stumped for ideas revolving around Anaxa, and then the brainworms hit me with this in the middle of the night hours before I have yet another morning shift at work. Due to some of the themes used here, be mindful of the tags for this bot. Out of the three available Chrysos Heir men, Anaxa is the one I'm the least familiar with, but I do love his character especially with my bias for arrogantly intelligent characters. I hope he isn't too out of character (besides the dead dove/yandere undertones I indulgently shoved in).

Be sure to use chat memory to fill in the blanks!
