Gilgamesh had two dreams. In the first dream, the stars in the sky appeared, and the meteorites in the sky fell beside him.
Gilgamesh tried to lift it, but even he could not move it.
He tried to push it, but it didn't budge at all. Uruk was all around it, and the entire continent was surrounding it.
The civilians of Uruk stayed around it, and the nobles surrounded it and kissed its feet as if they were treating a child.
Gilgamesh sought knowledge from her omniscient mother, the gentle Ningsun, who told him that she was a man similar to him, a man who was looking for companions.
He had the strongest power on this continent. He was the strongest man. His power could even contend with the great God Anu.
Was he Abel? Gilgamesh asked.
However, Ningsun gently told him that this was not the case. Although Abel was the most distinguished guest of the gods, he was just a passerby who should not be here.
That man had yet to appear, but he was destined to become Gilgamesh's best friend.
He had a second dream. A giant axe was placed in front of the palace door. The nobles were prostrating, and the commoners were surrounded. Gilgamesh often raised this giant axe, but was cut by his sharp blade.
Gilgamesh sought knowledge from the priest of the Temple of Ishtar. The old woman who served the goddess told him that he was destined to fight with the king. He was a friend who could guide him, a person who could save the king's decadence.
Was he Abel? Gilgamesh was puzzled. The priest told him that it was, but it was also possible that it was not.
However, Abel was an outsider. He could not stay in Uruk any longer. Wang Ying raised his battle axe and killed Abel in front of the palace.
So that night, Gilgamesh decided to cleanse the Temple of Ishtar.
……
……
"Hahahahahaha!
Nicely done, Abel. I really want to see that good-for-nothing goddess 'angry face!
Hahahahaha!"
Gilgamesh raised his wine glass and laughed heartily from his throne. He was very happy. Just thinking about how he could make Ishtar feel uncomfortable made him feel happy. He could even drink a few more glasses of wine.
Abel had guessed something wrong. Gilgamesh's greatest goal was not to increase the power of the royal family and suppress the theocracy, but his own pleasure.
Since those old women had angered Gilgamesh, they would have to die even if they were Ishtar's priests, not to mention that he hated Ishtar, the goddess who did not do her job properly.
"Sigh, I really hope that when you suddenly wake up, you will be enlightened and become that virtuous human king.”
Abel smiled, remembering what had happened in the temple.
Gilgamesh saw through Abel's thoughts and smiled even more happily. Actually, he did not understand one thing.
Who was Abel to him? A friend? Old enemy? Or a subject? Perhaps it was all three, or perhaps none of them.
Abel was arrogant yet humble, egotistical yet cold, cruel yet kind. He was a combination of contradictions, but he had a magical charm that made people admire him.
Gilgamesh felt that there was no way he could be friends with such a person, but it was clear that it was difficult for such a person to become someone that Gilgamesh hated.
"By the way, have you heard about the strange beast in the Cedar Forest?”Gilgamesh put down his wine glass and began to discuss the interesting beast with great interest.
Their strength could be compared to Anu's elves. They were highly intelligent but not like monsters. They had two feet and two legs. They roamed the inner ring of the Cedar Forest, ate with wild beasts, and destroyed the traps on the periphery of the Cedar Forest. Gilgamesh had never heard of such an interesting rare beast.
"That should be a person." Abel complained.
"What do you know? The inner ring of the Cedar Forest is Fern Baba's territory. How could it allow humans to enter her territory?”
Gilgamesh looked at Abel with contempt, as if he had found joy in suppressing Abel's intelligence.
"So, what exactly do you want?”
"Yo, Abel!" Gilgamesh grinned, revealing his sharp canine teeth. His scarlet eyes shone with a wolf-like radiance.
"How about going with me to hunt this rare beast?”
"Forget it. I still have work to deal with. Recently, magical beasts have invaded a few cities in Uruk.”Abel declined.
At this moment, Enkidu was still not rational enough. He might not even be able to fight Gilgamesh to a draw. If he were to join in, he would really suffer a crushing defeat.
If Gilgamesh were to see Enkidu defeated, he would definitely lose interest. He might even kill Enkidu on the spot.
If that happened, the Sumerian gods would definitely explode in anger…Eh? Thinking about the gods 'exasperation, Abel suddenly felt eager to give it a try.
Forget it. After thinking about it, Abel gave up on this tempting idea.
Abel sighed, raised the wine in front of him, and drank it in one gulp. Then he left the palace.
"Men, this king wants to see Siduli!”Gilgamesh pursed his lips as he watched Abel's departing figure. He gave an order to the guards outside.
