Hello, all!

Before we begin today, I need to explain something.

This story will mainly center around Hans Christian Anderson, and as such, the exploits of the others won't be explicitly shown here. Even now, this is a special case, because, well, it's Gilgamesh.

Not giving him his own chapter would be a disgrace.

I'll say this though: There will be a poll to determine what (if any) side story Interlude will be made a seprate fic to show those exploits though, located on my profile.

The choices are:

Mata Hari, Monte Cristo, or MHX for which one should get a side story showing their exploits. It won't be updated as often as the main story, but it will be updated hopefully at least once a month.

Depending on how well this goes, I might make all three, or only that one. I might even repeat this in the future too.

Either way, please vote!

The poll closes in one week!

Also, see my profile for the disclaimer.

Now please enjoy the story!


Meanwhile, somewhere in Iraq...

A certain golden-armored youth with hair as golden as his armor with red eyes scowled as he surveyed the land before him.

His name is Gilgamesh, Archer-class servant, and the king of heroes.

Today, he was not happy.

Finally, after all this time, he had the chance to go see the land he had ruled in his youth, expecting to see some trace of the magnificence that was once there.

Instead, however, all he found were ruins.

His mongrels, or rather, their descendants, didn't eye him with fear and reverence, just fear.

That would not do. He wanted them to fear him, yes. But what is a king without the mongrels revering him like he were a god?

Fear only went so far, after all. Fear is what your enemies should be looking at you with all the time, not the people under you

That was something the mongrels that claimed to rule this world currently seemed to have forgotten.

He'd have to teach them a lesson, at some point. The King of Heroes should prove himself superior over the king of kings, as that mongrel is a hero themselves.

Ergo, as a king is superior to the rest, the king of heroes is undoubtedly superior over the king of kings.

This was the logic that he, the king of heroes, had come up with, and thus, it must be true.

Especially since, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the things that merely bore the king of king's likeliness, that possessed none of the skill or strength, but merely numbers. The creations of mongrels are even lower than their mongrel creators, it seems.

Ordinarily, he'd welcome the fight, but today, he was just more pissed off than anything.

Which is why instead of grandstanding as usual, he just simply snapped his fingers, and weapons of the gate of Babylon flew out to destroy them.

Even as the horde of those creations began to swarm like locusts over a farm, he swatted them aside with the weapons like the gnats they were.

By the time he was done destroying all of them, the parts of those things laid scattered all over the desert before him. There must have been at least 3 battalions sent after him, and not a single one had survived nor manage to lay a scratch on him.

"How pitiful. Why do they send those things after me...? After all, what is a king if not victorious?" He asked himself.

At that moment, a thought crossed his mind.

A thought that brought a smirk to his face, a cocky, confident, smirk.

He started to laugh.

"Fuahahahahahahahaha! Oh, I see now!" he said, cackling.

"The king of kings... is scared! Scared that they would lose to me! Ha! I keep forgetting, they're just another mongrel, so fear is only natural. After all, only a coward would hide rather than stand their ground against their opponent." he said, smirking as he began to walk off, laughing all the way.

So amusing was this notion to him, that the sound of his laughter could be heard long into the night.

He was Gilgamesh, the king of heroes, and tonight, like any other night, was a good night for he who always prevailed.


That's all!
