Monster Meets King
#13
The sand was shifting underneath Eudocia's hands and feet. Sweat was rolling down her face, her bangs was sticking to her sweat forehead. "So, hot!" Eudocia thought to herself, she had been reduced to crawling through the desert along side Gilgamesh. Back on her home world she had never experienced anything this hot! She felt as if the very blood that ran in her veins was turning into hot lava, going to melt her insides out.

She felt a tug on the back of her blouse as she would raise to a stand, her knees shaking threatening to give out on the poor monster. She looked at Gilgamesh who had just pulled her to a stand, a sly grin on his sweat covered face. Gilgamesh suddenly broke out in laughter. This made Eudocia a little worried about her king.

"Is Gilgamesh going crazy? Did this heat really get to him that much that it made him see something crazy? Even I don't think that I will go crazy from the heat. That just might be me though, who knows King Gilgamesh may have never experienced this much heat as well." Eudocia thought to herself, staring at her king with curiosity shining in her eyes.

She followed her king into an old abandoned place. Eudocia was filling up with more and more energy. The building provided some shade from the sun and Eudocia was guessing that they were going to establish Gilgamesh's new king here.

"I can't believe King Gilgamesh is finally going to settle down! Then we can start making his empire, I can finally find I place where I belong. Ah, no more being treated like a monster. I will be hailed as one of the founders of his new kingdom! I wonder what King Gilgamesh will do when he establishes his new king? He might expand his land, after all even though I had been with him for a few days I can already tell what kind of personality he has." Eudocia thought to herself, letting out a faint sigh as she realized how egotistical her new king was. However she didn't really mind his odd personality, after all her king had accepted her so she will accept him.

Eudocia took note of the old buildings that had green moss growing on them. Her king had even jumped away from a building in fear that it would fall on him, this got a little snicker from Eudocia. She stared at Gilgamesh as a smug smile had appeared on his face.

"I wonder why he is so excited to establish in an abandoned town like this. After all it's just an abandoned town." Eudocia thought to herself, giving a slight shrug of her shoulders.

She looked at Gilgamesh as he took his seat on the ground. The same golden portal opened, letting two glasses and a vase come out of it. She watched as the thick, red liquid flowed into the glass. Gilgamesh offered Eudocia a glass and she eagerly accepted it. Eudocia starting to sip on the wine, the rich, exquisite taste filling her taste buds, sending a shiver down her spine. Eudocia sipped on the rich wine, she stared at her king wondering what he was doing.

"King Gilgamesh what are you doing?" Eudocia asked, tilting her head slightly to the side. "Pet, please make yourself useful and take a map of our territory. Make sure you tell me where the well is." Gilgamesh retorted, his tone slightly annoyed with Eudocia. "Yes King Gilgamesh!" She said, hurrying to a stand, leaving her glass sitting by Gilgamesh.

She had decided to explore the area a little bit more, trying to get a better layout of the place. Sweat continued to dribbled down her brow, she had wondered what her king was doing right now. A bitter sigh escaped her lips as she realized that he is still drinking that delicious liquid that he had, she had to make a mental note to ask him where he had that from, more so where he had tasted that. After all Eudocia had been on the run for most of her life and had never gotten to dine like royalty.

"Ah, it's still hot outside, maybe I should go back to King Gilgamesh." Eudocia thought to herself and decided to stop and rest by an old building. She sat down in front of the building, she felt the fatigue of walking all day start to wash over her. She thought that she could use a little nap, so she leaned back on the building. When she leaned back she saw something brown run across the ground.

"Eh!?" She let out as she stumbled forward, her hands clutching the sand as she flung herself forward. She turned to look at the mass of brown insects that came from the building she was leaning on. Eudocia quickly stepped back, the sand shifting underneath her feet.

Eudocia's face paled as the brown insects had started to swam out of the building. Eudocia had started to back away from the gathering group of insects. They made no charge towards her, they instead started to gather together. The brown insects stacked on top of each other, stretching out to form a scarab. The scarab was a brown mass of moving insects, it's height came to be two meters tall. With the sight of this, Eudocia turned around and ran back off towards Gilgamesh.

Luckily the beast didn't find her, and with a few breaks she was there. Eudocia was panting heavily, sweat continuing to fall down her face. "Ahhh I see you finished?" Gilgamesh asked, turning around the see his pet gasping for air.

"King...we have a problem." Eudocia managed to word out. Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes at Eudocia, demanding her to tell him what was the problem.

"Speak pet." Gilgamesh stated, his voice unwavering at the sight of his pet panicking. "Yes... my king. I saw these bugs come out from the building and turn into a monster." Eudocia said, paying no mind to the people who were right behind him. "Are you delirious? Has the heat been getting to you?" He said with a hint of annoyance in his voice, after all who would believe somebody who had ran up to them to say that a group of bugs had formed a monster?

"It's true my king! I had been walkin- I mean! Mapping out the area like you have commanded me. I went to..... investigate a house, trying to see if it had anything worth bringing to you. However these bugs came out of the wall and formed this tall monster. You have to believe me King Gilgamesh, why would I run all the way over here to give you this false story? What should we do about this monster?" Eudocia asked, she looked up to the tall Gilgamesh, after all Eudocia wasn't the one making the call around here.

"Very well, I shall see if this story of yours is true. Do be aware of the consequences that waits for you if your story is false. Show me the way, servants come with me as well." Gilgamesh said and stood there, his arms crossed over his chest, obviously waiting for Eudocia to lead the way. "Yes King Gilgamesh." Eudocia replied and started to make her way towards the area where she once saw the monster.

Within twenty minutes that had found the monster, even though it had moved from it's location all they had to do was follow the trail of bugs squirming on the ground. They soon found the disgusting beast crawling through the sand. "My king, how should we deal with it?" Asked Eudocia, looking up at Gilgamesh. "Give the beast a surprise attack, that is if you have ranged attacks." Gilgamesh replied.

"Oh! I do have one... give me a moment and stand back please." Eudocia asked, giving Gilgamesh a slight bow. Gilgamesh complied with Eudocia and stepped back. Eudocia pointed her head outward, aiming it towards the monster. A red ball appeared between her horns, the red ball starting to quiver. Eudocia adjusted her head a final time to make sure that the beam was going to hit the monster. "Niver!" With this the red beam launched towards the mass of moving insects.
