POV: Gilgamesh

A lot has changed since last time.

Emma kicked me out of the house, but I am doing everything possible to bring her back. She is the love of my life. The thought of losing her creates this tight feeling in my chest, making me want to die. I tried my best to explain the situation to her, but she refused to listen to me.

It's been two weeks since she kicked me out. On the first day, I slept under a tree on the bitterly cold night, but then the mosquitoes started sucking my blood, so I just went swimming in the lake, which was colder but there weren't any mosquitoes.

The following morning I bought some flowers from the flower man and headed home. To my utter dismay, the doors were shut and so were the windows. I quietly left the flowers on the doorstep and walked away, with a spark of hope keeping me going.

With nowhere to go and nothing to do, I walked around in the market, which was clearly a bad idea, as everyone was side-glancing and whispering in my presence. It made me so self-conscious, that I felt my face heat up and tears fill my eyes. Overnight, I had turned from a brave, valiant hero, to a cheating dusty sewer rat.

With nowhere else to go, I ran, ran all the way to the one person who would know what to do. The only person who would understand me.

POV: Enkidu

I could not believe what I was hearing.

Gilgamesh????? Cheating on his wife??????? That is impossible.

I ordered my guards to look for Gilgy immediately, as this was an emergency. I also asked them to look for the Clay Tablet man, as I am pretty sure his news was inspired by baseless rumours.

I feel so bad for Gilgamesh. He doesn't deserve this. He must be going through hell. His wife is abusive, I tried my best to get him to leave her, but he loves her very much. I haven't spoken to Gilgamesh ever since he found that rat Enmerkar. It's like he replaced me with him. He stole my heart, and now he broke it. I will kill for Gilgamesh. I will kill Enmerkar. It is all his fault. He brings misfortune to all those I love. Especially Gilgy. I cannot wait to see him. It has been years since I was last in his embrace. I crave his presence. I yearn for it.

"Sir, he is here." My guards announced.

"Let him in," I said, breaking out of my delusional fantasies.

But it wasn't my Gilgy at the foyer. It was the last person I ever wanted to meet.

"Wow, look at you sitting on the throne. It's been a while, Enkidu."

End of Chapter Two
