The Golden Throne Room was open for celebration. Gold and red tapestries adorned the majestic, open balconies as the people of Uruk danced in celebration of their new king. Attractive virgins dressed in the finest garments were draped over couches while feeding the mighty soldiers of all Mesopotamia. Gilgamesh sat on his embellished throne while two of the most beautiful women in the room sat on either armrest of the throne, fawning over him. Enkidu sat in the smaller throne, where queens would usually be seated on, and on his lap was the woman who was "oh so kind" to invite him over for the night.

It was turning out to be a splendid night, indeed.

Enkidu stared at the woman on his lap in gleeful expectation. It had been awhile since he had any intimate relations with anyone.

With that thought in mind, he glanced at his friend to see if he was just as open as he was to the women that carelessly fawned over them. Gilgamesh was being fed grapes by the one that sat on his right side and as she would playfully put her fingers slightly in his mouth, Gilgamesh would graze his lips over them claiming he was just tasting the "extra juices." The one on the left was busy stroking his muscled chest and whispering in his ear, seductively. Enkidu couldn't help but notice that Gilgamesh was bored. His body was slacked and slumped in a relaxed position. He didn't interact with the women Enkidu hoped he would interact like.

Frowning, Enkidu couldn't help but wonder why Gilgamesh has been so boring lately. With a groan, he could feel the woman grinding on a region where he had been "bored" upon also.

Enkidu chuckled. At this point, the woman on his lap was also seductively gazing at him. Stroking her cheek, Enkidu smiled, softly, at her. "Let's take you home, my love."

Suddenly energetic, the woman jumped off his lap and began to pull him up. That was until the embellished doors that led to the throne room opened with a sound like a thunder-clap. The surprising wind that came with it shocked the guests.

The drunken guards and the shrieking women stood up and faced the doors with shock written on their faces. Enkidu pushed the woman behind him and stood in a defensive position in front of her. The two women that were with Gilgamesh stood up and ran behind his throne. As for Gilgamesh? He simply sat in his throne with his head resting on one arm and gazing at the abrupt opened entrance.

The sound of soft feet padding on the pristine golden floor was heard as soon as the wind died down. A slender female figure with shockingly bright hair and in a pristine white dress walked towards the throne of Gilgamesh. As she stood in front of him, she faced him.

Enkidu couldn't believe his eyes.

As for Gilgamesh, he studied the intruder in front of him. A petite female dressed in virgin clothing had her chin pointed towards him in a challenging way. Adorned with platinum colored hair that was let down her back in waves and high facial structures, Gilgamesh noticed her ethereal beauty. Yet, it was her eyes that spoke volumes to him. Yes, the various shades of blue that reflected in them as he noticed the icy blue that challenged his deeply colored wine ones.

He brought his unused arm up and snapped his fingers. In that instant, a huge roar was returned and a pouncing of a lion and a lioness came from the airy openings of the castle.

They began to circle the female intruder with low growls and a tight circle. Gilgamesh smirked as he noticed that the intruder didn't move or show any shift of emotions. Licking his lips, he decided to talk to this interesting creäture.

"You know it is a crime to come before the crown without being invited." Gilgamesh announced in an eerily silent room.

"It is a crime to bed virgins and brides, too." The female answered back, curtly. Gilgamesh raised an eyebrow and gave a chuckle which turned into a fit of laughter. As he wiped a tear from his face, Gilgamesh turned to look at his friend.

"Enkidu, do you hear this woman?" Gilgamesh questioned. Enkidu didn't respond. Curious, Gilgamesh looked at his friend's face.

Enkidu's face was an unusual pale and his defensive form turned into a stiff, straight one. His eyes were wide and his mouth was formed into a slight "o". Gilgamesh turned back to the woman to see if she was the one causing this effect on her friend, yet the woman still faced him and gave no acknowledgement of Enkidu.

"My friend, are you okay?" Gilgamesh asked, curiously. Enkidu seemed to snap out of his trance and gave a slight nod as he turned to face Gilgamesh. After reassuring his friend, Enkidu turned back to the woman.

"Aria…, is it really you?" Enkidu softly questioned, taking one step off the pedestal. He held up his arms as if he was going to touch her.

The woman, Aria, held up her hand, swiftly, which made him stop in his tracks. Sharply, she said, "My business is not with you, traitor."

She didn't bother to face Enkidu whilst she said this. His arms were still in midair and his face looked stricken.

Gilgamesh watched this scene in front of him and angrily turned to the woman who dared to hurt his friends. "Guards, take this mongrel to a prison cell!" He ordered, angrily.

"NO." Enkidu's unusual yell made everyone leap in their places. Gilgamesh turned to his friend in shock. He had never heard his friend raise his voice so loudly.

Enkidu faced Gilgamesh with a sad smile, "No, my lord. Let us hear her out." He suggested. Enkidu walked back up the pedestal and sat on the throne he had left moments earlier. Gesturing the woman he had hovered over protective to sit on his armrest, Enkidu simply stared at Aria with a blank face.

Recovering from being slightly shocked, Gilgamesh, still angry, turned to face Aria.

"You heard him. You should thank him for saving your life, you filthy low life." Gilgamesh demanded.

Aria brought her head down slightly and brought her hand to her face and let out a charming laugh. Bringing her hand to her forehead to brush stray hair away, she tilted her head to the side and gave a slight smirk to the king.

"You believe I need him to save my life? I can just kill everyone in this room with a snap of my fingers. Just like you. Want to see?" Aria suggested, while bringing the hand from her forehead to a snapping position.

Irritated, Gilgamesh looked up to see the fears that were on the faces of his people. Taking a sharp intake of air, he calmed himself down, quickly. This filthy commoner wasn't worth his rage.

"What is it that you want?" He questioned, with his hands now gripping his armrests.

Aria gave him a little smile and snapped her fingers, anyway. The people gasped and began to shield themselves with their arms except for Gilgamesh and Enkidu.

Musical laughter was heard in the room and the people opened their eyes and were met with a shocking scene before them. The lion and the lioness were brushing their bodies against the hands and body of Aria. Purring, instead of growling, the lion and the lioness were enjoying Aria's caresses.

"Wow, your people seem to have no faith in you, King Gilgamesh." Aria intoned with a light laugh as she stared at them until they all brought their head down in embarrassment and defeat.

Gilgamesh had enough.

"If you still want to continue your games, you will be the cause of your own death." He warned with a furious gaze.

Aria smirked, "Ah that is what I like to see! Some emotion in the king of all Mesopotamia!" She announced in a sarcastic grandeur tone. She gave a joking little bow and looked up at him with a mischievous glint in her eyes. Snapping her fingers, everyone in the room besides Gilgamesh and Enkidu fainted. Standing up, Gilgamesh stood in front of Aria with his head bowed down to face her, giving her an intimidating gaze.

Aria placed a finger on his nose and pushed him slightly back and brought herself to her tippy toes to bring her pretty little mouth up to his right ear.

"That is only a bit of my power, King Gilgamesh, but don't worry once they wake up, they won't remember how weak, embarrassing, or useless their king is. They won't even remember this visit, but I'm warning you. I come here for justice. You have disobeyed rules, and I don't think you deserve that crown you have on your arrogant head." Aria whispered, loudly.

Gilgamesh growled at her words and was about to put his hands on her to strangle her neck, but he was met with air and a soft echo of a laugh.

He blinked and looked at his empty hands. The people in the room were sound asleep.

Enkidu got up from his seat and walked behind Gilgamesh and placed a hand on his right shoulder.

Curious, Enkidu found Gilgamesh's body trembling. "Is he crying?", Enkidu thought, his face covered in shock, but what even shocked him more was that Gilgamesh was laughing.

After his laughing fit, Gilgamesh turned to face Enkidu and grabbed Enkidu's hands, tightly.

"My dear friend, you must tell me who that interesting woman was." Gilgamesh intoned, with a predator's smile on his face. Enkidu didn't answer as if still in shock.

Letting go of his friend's hands, Gilgamesh walked back up to the pedestal and turned towards Enkidu with a sickening, twisted grin on his face. He placed his hands on his head with his eyes wide with excitement.

"I haven't felt this challenged in years, Enkidu! Not ever since our defeat of Humbaba!," Gilgamesh proclaimed, in awe, "That woman, Enkidu, you must tell me who she is!"

Enkidu slowly shook himself out of his shock and began to understand his friend's sudden vitality. Gilgamesh was bored ever since their victory.

As Gilgamesh went to ramble on about Aria, Enkidu remembered Aria's face when she had shut him down. What happened to her? What did the gods say to her about him? What are they forcing her to do or is it even forced? She talked about justice…Enkidu tightened his hands into a fist to calm himself down.

"…If you know her, Enkidu, invite her back to the palace so she can entertain me once more!" Enkidu's ears picked that up. With sudden realization, he looked back up at Gilgamesh with a small smile, "Of course, my friend!"

Gilgamesh gave him a sharp nod and sat himself down on his throne with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Enkidu gave a slight bow to signal that he was going to take his leave.

As Enkidu reached the doors, Gilgamesh questioned in a curious tone, loudly, "Who is she to you , Enkidu?" Everyone seemed to wake up at that point to their king's voice and they all began to slowly get up. The women began to flock back to Gilgamesh while the woman Enkidu left turned to Gilgamesh, also, but Gilgamesh waited for his friend's answer.

With his back still turned and the doors slowly closing, Enkidu gave him a curt answer, "My sister."
