I love how Hoyo is trying so hard to make Cyno seem intimidating but we all see his "desperate puppy that wants attention" side

Anyways

Your desert dweller pining idea gave me reincarnated tragic lovers vibes

Like reader was with Kasala in the past before the forbidden knowledge was brought to the desert, infecting them with eleazar and killing them

Which was probably part of why Kasala didn't fear death in the end knowing it means reuniting with the one he loved

Then centuries later you both are reincarnated in the same era as an eremite and Cyno. Ultimately meeting and falling in love just like in your past lives but now separated because of readers loyalty to the scarlet king

(Heck maybe it was the same in that past but switched with Kasala's devotion to his lord and reader being the one pining)

And then when the truth of the two gods are revealed you both get flashbacks of your last moments together centuries ago, the sight of reader's scale covered body slowly losing life with Kasala sitting right by holding tightly to their hand, unwilling to let go even if he has accepted this reality

The least could be done is letting your final sight of him be a happy one

"I love you even in the face of death, there nothing that could take this away..."

As reader close their eyes a small smile is visible on their pale face, clearly at peace with Kasala's words

"... but perhaps...in a new world, we can peacefully live together"

I'll let you decide what happens next

Side note: imagine Kasala or Cyno(to be a tease) calling you his eternal love or something similar. I wouldn't even need to have eleazar to die they'd just kill me with that

Also after a week of scarab nightmare cyno is finally maxed other than getting him decent equipment but that's besides the point

- Vagabond anon

Holy shit I just read a whole story, thank you so much for the good fucking food, Vagabond !! AAAAAAA

Holy shit like holy shit, I'm going to cry, I'm giggling right now especially the "eternal love" part Cyno would totally be the type to say that with a teasing smirk everytime. Oh man I can even imagine Reader being part of Rahman's group and clashing with him at least once hhh (sorry I've been craving writing fight scenes)

What if after regaining your memories just like how Rahman's still griping with the fact, Reader is also still like trying to make sense of the fact, right? But on Cyno's case, down bad boyo, is literally just trailing you while you pace back and forth trying to convince yourself that reincarnation exists. That's where desperate puppy that wants attention comes from mmmm - maybe Reader being apprehensive in the present is because they mostly remember how Kasala is distant due to his devotion to the Scarlet King jgnhhh

Like I'm imagining this is after act 4 and before 3.2 so he's stuck with you in the desert that whole time and he won't even let you breathe. Taking every opportunity to go to you like:

Dehya: We'll need Rahman's group to assist us here -

Cyno: *immediately stands up* I'll inform them right away.

Candace: We don't have to yet, we're just going over the plan -

Alhaitham: He's already gone.

Omayghad I love this au so much, holy crap, I'm foaming at the mouth *hugs tight with consent* Vagabond, thank you for accompanying me on my Kasala brainrot;;;;

Lorecraft: Hermanubis

So after that lore bomb, I decided to write some of my own lorecraft that I did while writing "Memories of Flickering Sun" about Hermanubis in the game.

Hermanubis is the Graeco-Egyptian god that combination of Anubis and Hermes (basically Ancient Greek and Egypt decided ok let's mix our belief)

Hermanubis was mentioned explicitly 3 times in the game.

The Lay of Al-Ahmar

Cyno's Character Story

Lisa's conversation with Cyno during Windblume

We will first look at the first time we came across the word in The Lay of Al-Ahmar. I will look at this lore in other languages as well but mainly in English (because i am too lazy to swap language lmao)

The Lay of Al-Ahmar

This is the book the descibed the fall of King Deshret. How the 3 retainers of his tried to make him search for a way to win over life and death that leads to the downfall of their nation. Possibly how he came into contact with the Forbidden Knowledge. There's a small passage that mentions Hermanubis. This is the first instance in the game that mentions him.

The passage describes Hermanubis as the greatest of sages. He also mentioned that their tribe are "Tribe of the wise" known for "Generations of sages". Kinda implied that the desert dwellers in the past were known to be much more intelligent than even the scholars of Sumeru Akademiya. Now, they have lost their text and all records of knowledge.

We know from this book that Hermanubis seems like an important historical figure in the Desert's history. He's being revered as the Greatest of Sage. Someone with so much knowledge and wisdom yet failed to foresee the nation's fall (the desert dwellers didn't seem to blame him, though).

Cyno's Vision Story

The second time this was mentioned was in Cyno's Vision Story. This is when people gossip about how Cyno got his vision. Not only Hermanubis was mentioned but also "Hermanubis Priest".

So usually, for someone to have a "priest" dedicated to them, they must be a very important person in a religious way. Especially when the rumour said he's here to "enact Hermanubis' will" which we still have no idea what is it.

So according to the rumour, Hermanubis is involved in something almost like a religious belief. We don't know if this rumour came from people seeing Cyno wearing the Wolf Headdress or not.

Lisa's Conversation with Cyno in Windblume

Probably the biggest bomb we have in present. Lisa and Cyno's conversation during Windblume event.

This is an amazing lore. Because before this we only know that Cyno is possess by a Divine Spirit and that he call upon them when using Elemental burst. We know that he form a pact with the said spirit and that he had this spirit for a long time. Way before he even got a vision.

Now we know that the spirit is "Hermanubis". Other than that, Cyno also mentioned "Priest's Power". I found the line in English to be quite confusing, so I went and look at Thai and Japanese. (I used to study Chinese but I can't remember it anymore haha)

From how they wrote it, it seems that "Power of Hermanubis" is a form of "Priest's power". Something like, powerful priest will be possessed by Hermanubis. Is it possible to have multiple priests having this same power? we don't know. In the ruins of Gurabad, we know that there are many priests including a high priest that was killed in the city. Yet, there was no mention of the priest also possessing the same power.

So from all of the mentions so far, we know that Hermanubis seems like an important figure during King Deshret's reign. He is loved by the people and revered as the greatest of the sage. Wise and bountiful in knowledge. However, even he cannot prevent the downfall of his nation.

The Akademiya know that desert priests can be possessed by Hermanubis and decided to experiment on Cyno who is someone from the desert. We cannot deduce from the conversation if he already has Hermanubis inside of him since the beginning and that was why he was being brought to Akademiya for experiments or if they force it upon him.

We do know that the power caused him great suffering, possibly because Akademiya conduct inhumane experiment on him and that's why Cyno decame who is. (I wrote a small rambling here about it lmao).

So now that we look at direct mention let's look at indirect ones.

First up, our boy Cyno.

Cyno

First thing that connect Cyno to Hermanubis is of course he's possessed by it haha. But that's not all. There's a significance in Cyno's character design, namely his Headdress. When you look at his outfit, this is the description.

Cyno's outfit. This garb displays the General Mahamatra's dignity and the just principles he sticks by. It was a rather complicated piece to commission due to Cyno's request for the custom-made head ornaments and requires regular maintenance.

He commissioned this outfit. The headpiece requires regular maintenance, something that seems impractical to wear and go into battle. But the heart of it is that Cyno requested the headdress in the shape of Hermanubis. Which is not a surprise because he's possessed by one.

But what is the surprise was the reveal of 3.1 cutscene where his headdress is the same as a certain someone. Kasala.

Kasala

Kasala is a well known priest during the reign of King Deshret. They said his "exceptional wisdom considered to be a miracle among the people". During the cutscene we finally saw him and what he wore.

The similarity is very noticeable. And it isn't hard to notice Cyno's reaction once he sees the recording made by Kasala. He stopped to look at ponder before paying respect to Kasala.

Combining this with what we know in Windblume, if any priest could be possessed by Hermanubis, it's Kasala. He fits every description of Hermanubis even. Greatly respected by people, wise and loyal. Kasala may be one of the last priests to be possessed by Hermanubis, and Cyno is his successor.

But this is where the lorecraft starts.

What I think of this

If Kasala is one of the last priests to exist during King Deshret's reign, doesn't that mean that Hermanubis and Kasala exist at the same time?

This would make sense if we combine with Cyno's Vision story where there are Hermanubis Priest enacting "Hermanubis' Will". Kasala would be a Hermanubis priest. Perhaps Hermanubis is one of the gods working under King Deshret like how Guoba, a god of stove works under Rex Lapis. BUT in the cutscene, Kasala refers King Deshret as his "Eternal Lord". There's no mention of Hermanubis anywhere. There's no "Lord Hermanubis who serves under great King Deshret". Usually if you are a devotee of a god, you should mention that your god also worked under another right? Like how Liloupar mentioned that she's loyal to both King Deshret an Nabu Malikata. Calling Nabu Malikata her Mistress and King Deshret her lord even after he lied to her.

Maybe it's because it's only a short cutscene. But then again, Cyno's vision story is based on a rumour and we have seen in world quest how the Sumeru scholars like to draw very bad conclusions from desert dwellers' history and painted everything wrong e.g. How Tirzard painted King Deshret to be cruel to his people from looking at a mural of people bowing to him.

There are 2 possible answers to this.

Hermanubis is an immortal entity

Hermanubis is a mortal

So for the first one. What if whoever got possessed by Hermanubis is referred to as Hermanubis in Sumeru history.

Or at least, because of their headdress, the pictures that were etched on the ruins are instead, animal heads. This is to concor with Ancient Egyptian gods where the gods are mostly displayed with the animal head instead.

That would make more sense since to be a priest and gain power is to receive the power of Hermanubis. Maybe Hermanubis died long time ago and in Yae's story quest, we know that sometimes immortal spirit linger and possessed people. maybe Hermanubis never find peace which is ironic since Hermanubis is god who guides people to the underworld.

This is more likely imo.

So what about the second one?

But what IF, Hermanubis mentioned in Lay of Al-Ahmar IS Kasala.

The Lay of Al-Ahmar has never mentioned that Hermanubis is immortal or not. Even the retainers of King Deshret weren't mention in the book if they were gods of not. So far, only the Jinn, Nabu Malikata and King Deshret were explicitly mentioned that they are Gods/immortal. Even lord of the forest that create the Aranara is said to be a spirit summoned by Rukkhadevata in other langauge, painting them to be immortal.

Both Kasala and Hermanubis in the book share similar traits. They are said to be very wise. Well respected. They are faithful, seeing that the Hermanubis in the story did not conspire with other retainers. Maybe Kasala spirit became Hermanubis spirit that possess priests after his time. Because of how people revered him, historian mistaken Hermanubis for a god instead of a man.

But human spirit can't be stuck that long you might think? Well, the shades in Enkanomiya would like to have a word with you hahaha.

But wouldn't that be so weird because it seems like Kasala was at peace? Yes, that's why this theory has a loophole

It's a far fetch theory. but that's my thought so far

Alhaitham in Scarlet King (King Deshret) and Kasala's colour scheme

Another Alhaitham edit, because why not, I need that dude. A couple of hours work with PS and mouse [I'm struggling] made this masterpiece. I am proud of it as well [hours of hardwork not gone waste].

PS - The tube and the engraving on it is inspired from Cyno's burst.

Love how Cytham ended up becoming a king/guard captain ship, sort of, if you stretch a little... And I am just now seeing the Deshret and Kasala parallel in there.

For context, I’ve made too many jokes about Kasala being Cyno’s spirit and embarrassing him with certain ancient tales (let the man reminisce, Cy) mild nsfw text btw 🔞

Deskas and Cytham ✨ I wasn’t interested in deskas for months but now that I’ve been joking about them I’m suddenly invested 😔

chasing lightning

1/? 

Cyno wakes with a gasp.

Outside, the sun is yet to rise. He blinks, willing the afterimages of the dream to fade. Yet he sees it all vividly—the sandstorm and the temple, as grave as it was grand, wreathed in dust.

What a strange dream, he thinks. Beside him Alhaitham is still, breaths deep and even as he sleeps. The Acting Grand Sage was never an early riser, and Cyno is always gone before he wakes.

This time will be no different. Cyno watches the man for a second more, and leaves.

or, the fic where Cyno is plagued with dreams of the Scarlet King and his priest, and Alhaitham suffers

[yostresswritinggirl]

Hey gotta do my part in giving Kasala content of his own cause seeing his tags empty hurts my soul 🥲

What if reader still has eleazar even after being reincarnated though just think about how protective Cyno would be

Mini headcanon: imagine you two having a wedding ceremony or something and greater lord rukkhadevata decided to come over to give reader and Kasala some desert resistant flowers as a congratulating gift

Then later in private reader used the flowers to braid with Kasala's hair (you can't convince me his hair isn't silky smooth)

And then in present day Cyno wants to repay the reader for it(if the reader has long hair). He ended up doing pretty badly and made a disaster of reader's hair but it's the thought that counts right?

Okay so idk how you'd feel about this but I have thoughts

So recently I have been seeing people speculating that Alhaitham is a reincarnated scarlet king and saw how you said you wanted more simps of him so I started blasting

So may I humbly change the au into a poly with Alhaitham included? Cause there's just so much angst potential with the dynamic the three would have

Honorable mentions to my partner for being the reason I could come up with these cause he really is the Cyno to my Alhaitham

(related to this post)

Ah! Fellow Kasala simp gracing us again with content! *kneels and bows down to floor*

NO NO DON'T CROSS THAT OUT OMAYGHAD THAT'S ACTUALLY HHHHH I LOVE THAT SO MUCH, I IMMEDIATELY THOUGHT OF A SCENARIO like like what what if they didn't tell Cyno or he wasn't informed about it at all?

I was thinking since Eremites are into arts and Cyno's a stalker/lh he was watching them either dance or play a song with their Eremites gang (you know, the enemy idles) when their Eleazar suddenly acted up and he was quick to escort then back to Aaru Village. Reader is still apprehensive about him at this point of the relationship but they're starting to open up after realizing they might die soon.

"This whole reincarnation bullshit... are we really... fated to be together?" Cyno didn't answer as he adjusts your arm around his shoulder. Didn't have to, he knows you know what he would have said.

"If so," a cough from you finally pulled his focused gaze away from the glimpse of Aaru Village in the distance to look. The somberness of your expression took him aback, paired together with the fatigue from your sickness. It hurts to look at. "Am I also fated to leave you every time?"

I hate you, I hate you *adding on to to-do list* but but the flower thing looks so cute! I'm sorry I got distracted by the angst ahahah - I like to think that it's the new version of Padisarahs that Rukkhadevata made as a gift! Like the first of its kind! I'm also kind of a whore for the analogy that Kasala and Reader are also kind of parallels of King Deshret and Goddess of Flowers.

And as thanks to his most loyal priest, he blessed them with a love never ending. OMAYGHAD IMAGINE THIS EXTENDS TO A MODERN AU SKSJSKSKS *BANGING ON TABLE*

I would love a sandwich like that too but hhhh I can't really imagine it knowing that he was down bad for the Goddess of Flowers even till death, unless *strokes chin* He thinks that the Goddess of Flowers reminds him of you hmm, I did try and think of that pairing before but it wasn't really sfw haha,,,
