Ninurta and the Turtle is an ancient tale that was written on clay tablets in cuneiform thousands of years ago in Sumeria. It tells the story of the tablet of destinies, a powerful relic possessed by the god Enlil which was stolen and lost in the ocean to be fought over by the god of the waters, Enki, and Enlil's son, the hero Ninurta. This is a modern retelling taken from book 4 of the Novels of Ancient Sumeria, The Prince and King, by Jesse Hudson
