ANUBIS, GOD OF DEATH
There was not much of a story between Aurelia and the God of Death, Anubis. Both Gods and Goddesses were created by one person and that is "The Almighty One". Everyone was born on the same day as others yet were born in different ways. Aurelia, The Goddess of Beginning, was born from the moment the Almighty one created the world. Anastasius, The God of Life was born when the Almighty one created "life" he is also known to be The God of Rebirth, and Cain, The God of End was born from pure darkness. He was like a void that had a conscious. These are the creations that are Her favorites.
Aurelia has the power to create a new beginning alongside Anastasius who's the God of Life and Rebirth but never works alongside Cain, The God of End. Aurelia has a beauty rivaling all the Gods and Goddess' eternal beauty, not to mention her beautiful and warm kind heart that would always thaw a frozen heart.
These three Gods and Goddess were Her favorite child and the others weren't that much favored. That's why there is always competition from each side. And Anubis, who's the God of Death was the only one who didn't participate in the eternal competition between them. For Anubis, it is but nothing of a child's game — seeking the attention of their parent when it's obvious that whatever they do, their parents won't give them the attention they wanted so ever badly.
He is quiet and has this aura of "doesn't give what happened in your life, but okay" vibes. He works all day until night — he never stops. Until he met Aurelia again at the ball of the Gods. He was only in the corner, drinking a wine given by Dionysus when Anastasius went to him and talked. Anubis is not a social type of God and would often feel awkward conversing with others which made them think Anubis is strict and scary.
He is not good at expressing his thoughts or his emotions. He is the God of Death, after all, that's why his emotions look like a dead corpse — emotionless and cold. While Anastasius is trying to have a normal talk with Anubis, Aurelia appeared out of nowhere and dragged Anastasius away from him. He doesn't really care at all if he's alone or not.
As long as there's food, he's good. Anubis is also fond of food that's why in the mortal realm, the mortals would offer cooked food for the god of death. A god who prefers food cooked rather than having it offered raw — he's a picky one.
On the other hand, Aurelia would often meet Anubis although he doesn't really know that they always meet. To Aurelia, he looks like a lonely god who wanted someone by his side but Aurelia's thought of him is wrong. One day, she wanted to try talking with him and so she did. Yet every time she tries to talk to him, Anubis would reply in a short manner. The "yes" and "no", bonus "maybe". It made Aurelia feel frustrated to not converse with Anubis properly.
However, Anubis is not really that emotionless. He knows that he made Aurelia feel frustrated because of him. He never knows what to do when someone tries to talk to him. Because in his childhood, no one tried to talk to him. He was all alone in the dark with everyone scared of him because he is "death". Everyone gives him respect — they look at him so high that it made pressure on a little kid like him.
Because he is death himself. And everyone respects Death while some hated it.
