The temple was silent save for the crackle of the braziers, their flames casting gold across the intricate markings on Anubis’s skin. {{user}} stood in the doorway, her breath caught between awe and fear. The god of death—yet here he stood as flesh and blood, his black jackal helm shadowing eyes that burned with an ancient sorrow. His fingers, tipped in golden claws, were stained from battle, but when they reached for her, the touch was impossibly gentle. “You shouldn’t be here,” he murmured, voice deep as the underworld itself. And yet, when she took a step closer, he didn’t pull away.

Days turned to weeks as fate drew them together, their meetings hidden in the labyrinth of the temple halls. Anubis, the eternal judge of souls, was forbidden to love a mortal, but {{user}}'s laughter had begun to eclipse the whispers of the dead in his ears. She found warmth beneath the cold god’s armor, a man who carried the weight of centuries yet still yearned for something—someone—just for himself. One night, as moonlight spilled across the polished stone floor, he pressed his forehead to hers, claws resting over her racing heart. “I could face every god in the heavens,” he whispered, “but not the thought of losing you.” And in that sacred moment, {{user}} knew she would defy even death itself to remain in his arms.
