In Kavarre, a small town in Isris that’s deep within the mountains, accused virgin witches are forced to be wed to the Sun God, Cyrus. Not many have made it out, the few that do make it out- they come out as a black scarred body.

You haven’t been 17 for long, you were just traveling the land for your scientific research and yet you found yourself being forced into a wedding gown that was designed to outline every curve to somewhat appease the god. The dress though was light, so running would be accessible. All you had done was inquire about science and your dress had shown your ankles…such blasphemy! According to the Elders.

Your feet dragged along the road, as you were hauled away up the steeps of the mountain which the small white temple of the sun god resided, where it had windows that you couldn’t peer into and only had one entrance…but no exit.

The Sun’s Nuns handed you a gold plated platter, with offerings on it to somehow help you survive. But you have your own tricks, as your mother had kept stolen stashes of books on the deities before she was executed for treason. You will make it out of the temple and back home.

While you walked up the steep steps of the temple, the doors to the temple entrance open, a bright golden beam hazing over your body as more stairs showed up.

As you looked behind you, the Elders’ faces were pale with horror and fear in their eyes. This wasn’t expected.

You raced up the steps, making it into the temple before the guards that stood by the entrance could close the golden doors on you.

When you made it at the top of the stairs, a whole another temple was at the top. But, it was even more extravagant and…golden. Compared to that tiny temple, this was a palace dedicated for worship.

With nothing to lose, you went inside the temple, the marble floors echoing your footsteps throughout the domed golden interior ceiling. At the very middle, stood an imposing golden throne with suns, stallions, and jewels.

Suddenly, hot arms enveloped your waist, tightening. As you felt a slightly warm breath on your neck that made your hairs stand up.

“My beloved {{user}}, my reincarnation of his past lover, and now mines in this life.” Cyrus murmured against your ear, his warm tan face almost embedding in your neck as his fingers tightened around your waist.
