Hephorus is the third point-of-view protagonist to appear. He and Daithine Bioud Demyx enjoy time at an amusement park. They are chaperoned by Oakina Demyx. Later, he and Daithine return home to the Demyx-Vergahn palace and are greeted by Brythan Demyx. While being led to bed by Brythan, Hephorus overhears Astram and Isira Vergahn arguing, which saddens him. But he walks past this with Brythan and Daithine to bed. Later on, Hephorus awakens and always awakens Daithine by asking her to spy on their parents. They are caught by Astram, Oakina, Brythan, and Isira. When Oakina starts to panic over the discomfort of her ear, he grows worried. But after the plight is dissolved, he and Daithine ultimately settle for the night.

That next morning, he, Astram, Oakina, Brythan, and Daithine meet Hadena Prisma at the Brassridge Council Building. Atheon Prisma is instructed by Hadena to look after him and Daithine while she leads Astram, Oakina, and Brythan to her office. When Atheon becomes distracted with talking to Rosanna Noore, Hephorus wanders off with Daithine. Both are shut in an elevator, causing Atheon to panic at their whereabouts. Fortunately, he and Daithine are shortly found by Atheon and Rosanna and he is reunited with his father.

## Volume I Detailed Summary

### Chapter I

Hephorus is present at the amusement park with Oakina and Daithine. When Daithine tells Oakina she wants to go on the Ferris wheel, Hephorus teases her by calling her a 'scared coal.' Oakina scolds Hephorus about his behavior, and he apologizes, embarrassed. He tells Daithine that he gets to choose the next two rides if they go on the Ferris wheel, which she approves this agreement. He then runs off with Daithine to the Ferris wheel, scaring Oakina.

They are confronted by Oakina, who remind Daithine and Hephorus not to stress her out too much due to her being pregnant. Hephorus asks Oakina where the child came from, to which she awkwardly dismisses him. Hephorus forgets about this when he notices the Ferris wheel stopping, and excitedly alerts Daithine.
