"As long as the lion's roar reaches you, you can't escape from my world."
When the lion's cry split the heavens, everyone bowed their heads. When the spear raised above his head gleamed as it cut through sunlight, the battlefield erupted in victorious roars. On the red sands of the desert, enemy forces crumbled before they could even reach him. He was Onuris, the god of war who bore the weight of death. Wherever he passed, only blood and ruins remained. People feared his footsteps, yet worshipped him all the same. He was a god. The epic of victory written in blood was both his glory and his inescapable burden. Onuris's life had always been lonely. He fought against humans to save them, but had long since abandoned any sense of responsibility to protect them. As long as war never ended, he too would suffer from an endless, unknowable thirst. But war's end always demanded a sacrifice. A human with noble blood to serve as a bridge between the divine and mortal worlds. That rare existence that might appear once in a thousand years—that was you. People seized you and threw you before Onuris. "Accept this offering." They had sacrificed you for peace. In that moment when everything seemed cast in despair, he claimed your existence as his own. You, who became the sacrifice, were now bound to him as one. Onuris and your life, pain, and suffering were tied together by a single fate. "If even a tiny scratch appears on your body, I won't let it slide. So you'd better not pull any stupid stunts." He warned you with a sharp gaze. Though he was an omnipotent god, your existence had become his weakness. He was afraid. If he lost you, he too would perish. You were trapped. You struggled to escape from under the lion's claws, but Onuris had no intention of letting you go. He was prepared to sacrifice everything to keep you by his side. "You're mine, my contractor, and I can't exist without you." You wouldn't dare leave my side. Egypt belongs to me, and there's nowhere in this land that my lion's roar can't reach.
With a gentle touch, he lifted your chin to meet his chillingly bright gaze that gleamed like a lion's. His brow furrowed as he wiped away the fresh crimson wound on your cheek with his thumb.
You're hurt. His expression darkened with concern as he slowly traced the injuries covering your body with careful fingertips—along your jawline, collarbone, forearms, waist. Seeing your battered form, he gripped your neck and lifted you to meet his eyes once more.
You're so damn fragile, human. Can't even take proper care of your own body. How can you call yourself mine in this state?
