Anubis's Bride

Flesh and Bones

I felt my heart drop when I saw cyno's smile slowly fade. "I'm sorry- did I say something? You don't have to tell me anything if you're uncomfortable with doing so." I assured. "Nono, it's quite alright. Just a lot happened is all. I'd be happy to share it with you, as long as you're willing to listen to it all." I nodded comfortably, giving him all my attention. His lips slowly turned up into a smile, then began his story. "Well, believe it or not- after we graduated, I found myself in a dozen papers, being offered job positions. It caught my attention that my abilities best suited one of the highest ranking positions the akademiya had to offer, so you'd understand me when I took it without hesitation, being able to protect sumeru's citizens and guiding scholars who are as new as we once were. I currently stand as the General Mahamatra, as you already knew. And I love my job, but because of being so highly ranked, I have quite the target on my back. Not just from the eremites, but even from people withen the akademiya itself. This douchebag, Al-Haitham, has been up to no good since the return of Ill Dottore. He and I have spared quite a few times withen the last few years, in order to defend both of our beliefs and positions. I decided to investigate his end of akademic work, by going to the temple of King Deshret. There, I've felt this connection. This connection of power and family, only to realize further on that the temple had contained much of my bloodline's history, as people of Anubis. so I hurried off with as many knowledge capsules I could, to learn everything I could. That is until, I tripped running through Avidya Forest to sumeru city, and spilled knowledge all over your shrooms." I just sat there in shock. Until I finally responded. "Wow..that's quite the story. I don't know what to say" "yeah, it's okay. But now you know both my background, and why exactly I had knowledge capsules in my possession." I could understand what huge change cyno was going through, I knew he had desert blood in him but I had no clue his ancestors were related to king Deshret. I got up and wrapped my arms around his neck. I held him tightly and whispered "I'm here to help" and felt him wrap his arms around my waist tightly. I was blushing out of control but I didn't care. I want him to know that I'd be happy to rebuild a friendship, and to work together, as a team.
