Third one's up. I'm going to have 4 parts of arc one. This'll be the last chapter of this one's, then I'm moving on to Ancient Egypt and then Ancient India. Since it's the last one, I'm making it extra long. Thank you to and SeddieShortBus for reviewing and supporting my story! For the record, there only are 282 laws in Hammurabi's Code of Laws. I made up the hidden one.

I don't own Doctor Who

Meg stared in shock at the priestess for a moment before turning away.

"I'm afraid it's time for me to go. Thank you for your hospitality, my lord. You will be blessed." That said, she tore out the room, grabbing the Doctor's arm on her way out. He whipped around, surprised at her sudden attack. He followed her for a minute, before pulling her to the side.

"What was that for?"

"She knows who you are. Enanatuma knew that you were a timelord... But she thought I saw a god. Doctor, what's going on?"

"I'm not sure... but I think we should leave. At least for a bit" They went back to the TARDIS and whipped back inside. The Doctor set it to send them back until after Enanatuma was gone. They pulled back outside.

"How long've we been gone?"

"Maybe a few hundred years" he said, shrugging. Meg looked around a bit more carefully.

"Doctor, this has been more than a few hundred years. This is the time of the Babylonians." He looked at her in shock.

"How would you know that so quickly?"

"Look at these people. No crime, no fooling around. Clearly during Hammurabi's reign. Not exactly sure what year it is... Probably around... 1770 BC" The Doctor looked impressed for a moment.

"Okay, maybe archaeologists know a little bit..."

"A little bit?!" she asked in hysterics. "If I know so little, tell me what you know about Hammurabi" The Doctor laughed

"A King of Mesopotamia while it was under Babylonian rule, created the famous 'Hammurabi Code of Laws', enjoyed a good primitive game of gambling" Meg laughed.

"I suppose that's a start. In 2000 BC, the Amarites invaded the land which was currently in Akkadian control. Hammurabi took reign, and decided that there needed to be a set list of laws and consequences. He made 282 of them, including thieves having to pay back what they stole ten-fold, and even the common modern phrase 'an eye for an eye...' What else am I missing?"

"Well there's always the rule of 'Don't trust the fake god'... Ooh, I probably should have thought more about the secret 283rd law... That was probably about us. Meaning that he's going to meet us. That should be nice! Especially with these men coming up to us now..." Meg gasped in shock and whipped around to see the small militia approaching.

"My lady, I ask your pardon," a man in the head said. "A lady of your age should not see what is about to happen."

"And what, might I ask, is about to happen?"

"This THEIF will be executed"

"I'm really afraid that won't be possible" Meg said, glaring at them

"My lady, you won't be able to do anything about it" Meg laughed a bit, coming close to the man. "A man would question the word of his goddess?" she whispered softly in his ear. The man shivered.

"G- goddess?" Meg nodded, a sly smile coming to his lips.

"Your wife is pregnant" she said boldly. She wasn't quite sure how she knew, but it popped out. The man started.

"Yes, she is"

"You prayed to me for months to get that child. And now you come here to threaten my brother?" She said menacingly, pointing to the Doctor. The men backed up, and the man at the head cowered and bowed. "My lady Inanna. My lord... Utu? I apologize for our briskness. Please, come with us to sort out this misunderstanding" Meg smiled.

"See? Much better" Nothing in her words showed it, but her voice clearly contained a threat.

The King sat down, looking over his men and the two oddly dressed people in front of him

"Why have you brought this pair to me?"

"My lord, these are no men. These are gods. The God Utu and his sister, the Lady Inanna" The King looked quizzical. "These gods came to this land many years ago, earlier than I was around. Lord Utu was accused of being a fraud. I hope you would not be too offended, my Lord, but it would like to be certain that it is truly you." He turned to a slave. "Fetch the priests of the god of wisdom and goddess of fertility"

They waited in silence for moments before Meg stood up.

"I know you, sir. Your father prayed to me twice a week, directly before sunrise, for his wife to have a child. Here you are" The Doctor stared at her for a moment. She didn't appear to be making this up as she went along.

"And how would you know this, my Lady?"

"I am a goddess. I keep tabs on those who need my most" At this point, the slave return with two men trailing him. Upon entering the room, one man dropped to his knees.

"My lady Inanna. I am so pleased to have the fortune to meet your acquaintance" The King looked over curiously. Lionessin rarely got excited, and here he was sobbing at this woman's feet. Surely, she must be a goddess

"Thank you, my son. I appreciate your enthusiasm" she lifted his chin to look up at her, and prompted him to stand. He did, quickly. She lay a kiss upon his cheek softly, and then stepped back. The other priest, Kialisses, stood there glaring with a scowl on his face. The King noticed this and prompted him

"You look disturbed, Kialisses. What is it?"

"This man is no god"

And that's how the Doctor and Meg ran from the head of this grand empire. King Hammurabi made one more law before his early death. It was not discovered until the year 56811.

Don't trust the fake god
