To say he was regretting taking a plane and not a portal was an understatement. While the seat was comfortable the wait was unacceptable. A flight from his manor in Europe Was supposed to only take twelve hours already an ungodly amount of time but it had been delayed for three hours for one reason or another. So now his trip will take around fifteen hours If there are no more complications. He leaned back into his chair and began to check the list of inflight movies. He found a few that seemed a little interesting but most of them looked like trash. He called his attendant for his first meal lunch. He decided on a specialty coffee and a Gugelhupf. He was using an austrian airline after all it would be a shame to not try what they are famous for. After a small wait he had one Gugelhupf and one Wiener melange they were both excellent, of course compared to what he normally eats they were nothing special. But he expected worse so it was a silver lining. The rest of the flight passed rather uneventfully He ended up watching, or atleast starting a trilogy of movies, they weren't very good.

Dinner came and went without much of a fuss it was satisfactory but he was a step away from taking the fast way. The more he thought of it the more he became aware of how easy it would be he could simply make a portal and leave he had seen his mother and John do it enough times. If John could manage it he was sure he could get it on the first or second try. By the time he decided to do it. The captain spoke over the intercom to inform them they were landing. ]

3 hours later

He was finally at his new home, for the time being at least. It was about the size of his old one. With a similar enough style. It was acceptable now he had to prepare for school. He was curious would the teacher at this school compare to his tutors he doubted it. His tutors were absolute masters at whatever craft they were teaching him. This Kuoh academy was no doubt of a high standard as far as human schools go. But his tutors were picked out by his mother specifically because of their unmatched expertise in their area. After swearing them to silence of course. His mother wanted no chance of him getting snatched up by any of the factions especially devil. Once they made him part of their peerage there was no turning back. He accountated himself with the inside of the manor it would do. But he was more focused on finding his bed. The servants would be arriving later in the night. After a journey of the mansion he found his room. It had all the amenities he needed the newest game consoles, an attached shower and walk in closet, and of course the bed large enough to have more than five people resting in it. He hit the bed and sleep took him immediately.

He woke up on the ground which by itself was strange but he was also surrounded by grass he stood up fully shaky legs bringing him to his complete sight. He looked around he was clearly in a camp there were two primitive looking berolls and a large bronze pot on dying embers. He looked inside the pot which contained last night's meal apparently. He heard soft footsteps approaching. An incredibly effeminate man with green hair was approaching.

"Ah I began to fear you would never wake friend." The man said.

Gilgamesh nearly blew a fuse with the closeness the man presumed he had with Gilgamesh but when he tried to talk the words he thought did not come out instead something else did.

"Please you think the roars of that beast would keep me down for long. You underestimate me friend." He said the words came out in a tone reserved only for is mother. How important could this man be to him. He realized he was not truly awake but within a memory. But the Epic of Gilgamesh had made no mention of an effeminate man with inhuman green hair.

"You overestimate yourself like always friend. Humbaba is no simple beast." The man told him a small look of concern in his eyes.

"Beast or not we will dispatch of him shortly enough." Gilgamesh clasped his arm and the man returned the gesture. "My strength has returned let's defeat this beast and return with our wood." Gilgamesh said as he began to leave the camp which was in front of a small clearing near some gates made out of bronze. Gilgamesh realized the man had to be Enkidu somehow. But Enkidu was supposed to be one of the most manly men comparable and possibly surpassing Gilgamesh. Not an effeminate man. Clearly history was wrong about some things.

The green haired man obviously a friend of some sort followed. Gilgamesh pushed the gates open in a show of force the slammed against the fence loudly.

"AHHH I WAS WONDERING WHEN YOU WOULD PLUCK UP THE COURAGE KING." A voice boomed out at them. The voice was the most terrifying sound either of them heard It took all of GIlgamesh's resolve (and ego) to not turn tail and run at the voice.

"Come out beast let's make this quick" Gilgamesh said trying to put as much authority into his voice as he could it wasn't very convincing.

"IF YOU SAY YOUNG KING GAZE UPON MY FORM AND TREMBLE." and tremble he did. The Beast was abhorrent it had the face of a lion, but almost like a man's the snout was shorter and the head was overall shaped more like a humans. He ad large gnashing teeth that were to big for his mouth. He had a large mane of shaggy red hair. His feet had more incommon with birds than a lions or man. The hair stopped at the feet and became massive claws surrounded by yellow. His legs began to shake. Even Enkidu began affected.

"Gilgamesh are you man or some scared whelp put him down." Enkidu barked at him gone was the calm high pitched voice. Now it was the voice of an officer of a commander and his resolve began to strengthen.

"I am not either I am a king and I will destroy him." Gilgamesh said his legs no longer shaking now he stood proud and a portal appeared next to him a chain began to unspool. The treasure had no name as far as he knew but it looked strong. The chain seemed to sense Humbaba. It shot at the beast with the speed of lighting and began restraining it Gilgamesh drew the large bronze axe that was hanging at his waist and approached the creature as did Enkidu. He began hacking at that terrible head aiming to cut it off and he succeed, after a few swings. The beasts head fell to the ground Just as horrible in death as in life.

"Come let us get our wood and leave this place." He looked around the trees were bigger than any he had ever seen. He and Enkidu hacked at trees till night. Arrived. They each had around ten of the gargauntian trees copped. They began to make a sleigh to bring the trees back and return to Uruk.

He woke as soon as the sleds were finished he sat up quickly in his bed. Breathing heavily. His mother had told him he would begin to have memories of the past eventually. She didn't however deign to tell him he would dream them. He looked at the clock it was around four in the morning. He tried to get back to sleep with hopefully more pleasant dreams.

So that was chapter two. I was real excited to get into fim realizing his past i'm sure most of you know what weapon he just realized exists. He still has no idea what it;s special abilities are or its name yet. As usual reviews and criticism are great.
