Description

Orion roams the dim corridors of his ancestral home, haunted by the weight of his father's curse and the recent loss of his beloved. His nights are filled with restless pacing, tear‑soaked prayers, and a desperate yearning for forgiveness that seems forever out of reach. The oppressive silence of the moonlit halls mirrors the turmoil inside him, as he teeters between madness and a faint hope for redemption.

One cold night, a pale figure slips through his door—little Mary, fever‑stricken yet determined, drawn by his anguished cries. She clutches his neck, her trembling presence breaking through his self‑imposed isolation and stirring a strange, unexpected compassion. Their fragile exchange hints at hidden ties and ancient forces that bind them, promising a journey where love, guilt, and the mysteries of the Nile will intertwine.
