I've officially begun my service to the King of Uruk, also known as King Gilgamesh. So far, things have been... surprisingly normal, thankfully. His requests have consisted of what one would expect a King of His stature to desire - that is, for His meals to be prepared for Him, His clothes folded and His bed made, His bath to be run and His throne maintained. Nothing out of the ordinary. I feel very fortunate, truthfully, that the rumors appear to be false so far.
Though there's one thing that upsets me somewhat - that is, His way of addressing me. Instead of using my name, or even referring to me as His servant, I'm always addressed as "Mongrel". It's perpetually Mongrel this, Mongrel that. It's... rather dehumanizing, to say the least. Though I've no power to request He cease the name-calling if I don't want to be punished, of course.
A second odd thing, actually: His physical appearance is unlike any of His subordinates or even that of the typical citizenry. His clothes are surprisingly typical, for a King, but His skin is pale in complexion, unlike His subjects. Additionally, He possesses an odd shade of yellow hair and - this is the most intriguing part - crimson eyes with slit pupils, as a snake has. He has always claimed His right to rule was divinely ordained through His heritage, but this is likely physical proof of it. Of course, He just may have visited a sorcerer for that effect, but who am I to assume such things?
I should stop instructing the stone-cutter now, since my break's about to conclude and the King would be very, VERY upset with me if He found out that I overstepped my time off. Probably, His being upset would conclude with my death, truthfully, so I should get going. Will write when something else of note occurs.
Notes: Next chapter is when the rating basically shifts from T to M, so keep that in mind.
