The Preservation

Enko is fed up. Fed up with a losing war. Fed up dependence on foreigners. Fed up with trying to explain to her nephew that his father is never coming back.
Gilga is a standoffish naga who has lived their whole life in pursuit of greater knowledge. But now that life is ending. Once they are gone, no one will know their accomplishments or take care of their precious possessions. They have just 6 months to prevent their own death before their legacy ends.
When Enko drops the sacrifice meant to appease Gilga, the serpent refuses to help the tribe. It's up to Enko to save her tribe's last hope and convince Gilga to work with her if it's the last thing they both do.

This a remixed retelling of the legend of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest stories in existence. It is set in a precolonial world filled with Tolken-esque fantasy races.
