Summary
“You’re not willing to see yourself put first…” You take his face in your palms. “But, I am…Jesse, I’m choosing you.”
Spring…Summer…Fall…Winter—you know what must be protected, year-round, every day of the week, every long hour, every second. Oh, you know…what’s at stake, what lingers beyond the lumber-built wall, what dwells precious within. What it takes to kill, survive…to make your choices, claim them for all the consequences they may yet bring, but in that same way, all of Jackson manages to survive. Jesse knows it, too. God, does he. And he’s of the mind to see everyone within Jackson safe—alive—before himself. Wants to meet the expectation that’s been placed upon him, and you know he will. But who else is gonna see him protected, if not you? Year-round, every day of the week, every long hour, every second—Spring…Summer…Fall…Winter.
You’ll have the world take you first before it claims him.

Summary
“Gods can still be lost, can't they?” Your eyes reopen, lids heavy. “Exiled. Disgraced. Forgotten.”
Slavery has seen you branded, cursed. Freedom has seen you rebirthed, blessed, and soon to be redeemed. With the ankh as your mark of self-reclamation—seared irreparably into your flesh—you will see that redemption made true. As a slave no longer, seeking to establish your worth, such will be proven through newfound devotion, through bringing justice upon those who deserve it, through learning how to protect yourself, and most of all, through realizing and finally understanding how to truly protect the innocents of Egypt. But through life and death, through the waking world and dark Duat, through holy Heliopolis, too, you will see your faith restored in a new god, will find your divine calling as a devotee, a herald, a protector…
…as simply being his, and something—someone—more.

Summary
Anubis stares into your eyes—sees the new unknown within, a goddess reborn, divinely detached…cold—and dreads the truth: “Have I lost you again?”
Centuries ago, for the first time, Anubis lost a piece of his heart…swept away, stolen, among the fruit trees and tall palms of the palace gardens; the culprit was your smile. He lost another piece centuries after that, when his father, the tyrannical Seth, new King of Egypt and the God Supreme, banished you—the keeper of his son's whole heart—from Heliopolis in a fit of blind rage against Osiris' legacy. In the wake of Seth's trial before the Ennead, Anubis lost another piece upon learning the truth, soon escorted from the divine court by Khnum before his curse erupted, and he was left to writhe, retching death upon the ground; cursed, convulsing, dying, dying, dying—‘I don’t want to die,’ he cried—and Osiris, listening from Duat, promised Anubis his escape, eternal life, ascension…godhood.
Even as a new Egyptian deity, Anubis' heart was lost…until the day he found it again, whole: you.

Summary
“This one…” he decides, his thumb pressed down, watching as your lips part. This one…
His eyes are not blue.
Upon arrival within the palace study, it’s such an inconsequential trait to note, but it’s your first and only thought when Seth’s gaze catches yours from behind his desk. There’s only red. The same red you’ve seen splattered on walls and floors, on thin linen, on the dusty coats of camels, fleeing in the firelight of burning adobes and palmwood. Red. Smeared on skin and torn flesh, dripping down the murals of desecrated temples, drenching the blades of caravan khopeshes. His hair. Red. His lashes. Red. His brows. Red. Conjured sand hisses, taking the form of a sha upon his head, but you will not give him the satisfaction of your visible submission. You will not give him the chance to see and recognize the fear that fogs your gaze.

Summary
“I’ll come back…I promise,” you say, and Clive's hold loosens; he lets go.
The leather of a gauntlet-clad hand takes hold of your arm, by the bend of your elbow, halting you. Desperation: Don't go. Your gaze returns for him, round and questioning against the pleading weight of his: But I must. Though this moment is no less warmer than it has always been between you; no less discerning than it has ever been for the past eleven years that you have known one another. Eleven years, days and nights spent on the front lines together. Eleven years, during which amends had been made and avowed. Eleven years, and yet, now the Sanbrequois night is both unforgiving and merciful, and you're left with words on your lips for him—I’ll come back, I promise—but whether they are true or not, you cannot be certain.
Eleven years, and you always did.
