Monster Meets King

[Gilgamesh]

Gilgamesh sleepily got up from the table and pushed open the oak doors that led out into the grandeur hall. He sleepily opened the door as he let out a massive yawn. As he entered the main room with the tiles on the floor he took notice that the dust was gone and let out a little smile. His life was beginning to become back to the way it was…when he was alive…those were the time…His mind drifted as he began to lazily climb up the steps, his hand on the oak railing and his feet dragging behind on the red carpet that decorated the staircase. The King made a turn to the right hallway, and looked causally at all of the servant rooms…reminding him of the many people that used to take care and pamper him. He reached the end of the hallway and took note of the large door before him, the inscribed words on the middle of the door. "The King's Chambers" in cursive writing, the door opened before him. Gilgamesh let out another tired yawn before stumbling inside the room, the pheasant had tired the king out and he was inclined to just pass out right there and then. Gilgamesh took note of the young servant who had opened the door for him and with his other hand held out a glass of water. The King smiled and took the water up and took a sip of the cool, crisp water. He waved his hand and the door shut behind him, leaving Gilgamesh all alone in his room. Gilgamesh put his night garments on and his snugly, sleeping hat. He walked next to his bed and put his water down next to his night stand, and casually opened a portal to the fun device that the King had enjoyed playing with.

He turned on the mysterious device and selected the Omnitwitter app, I wonder how many of these "Followers" I had gained today. I'm sure the people on this device had learned to love me. His grinned disappeared from his face and his eyes scanned the words on the screen over and over again. The more he read the more his face grew red. His eyes were filled with hate and he grit his teeth together. His breathing became heavy and labor. A loud scream of rage filled the entire castle and Gilgamesh rapidly typed up garbage before throwing the device on the ground. His door flew open and Eudocia, and his four servants were breathing heavily, obviously from running.

"My King what happened?! Are you in danger?" Anos said, looking around for any sort of danger. He walked up to the King checking if there were any signs of harm to his King and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that his King was angry…like usual.

"That insolent wretch! How…how DARE SHE SPEAK LIKE THAT TO A KING!" A vein was bulging on his forehead and he pointed towards the device on the floor. Anos was talking to his King, calming him down while Eudocia bent over and picked up the device. Gilgamesh began to simmer down and his composure began to come back, and Eudocia covered her mouth, hiding an obvious smile.

"Thank you Anos, I-" His speech was broken with his pet's laughter and the clang of the device on the floor. The vein was bulging again on his head and he took a deep breathe and let it go. He pushed everyone else out of the room out and shut the doors.

"Thank you all for being so considerate, I feel quite tired after this chain of events and we have a busy day tomorrow." A somewhat forced grin on his face as he said all of that and he let of sigh of relief once he closed the door. He went over to the ground and picked up the device, a little shard of glass had broke off and Gilgamesh let out another sigh as he rolled his eyes. He walked over to his bed's golden curtains and opened them, laying in his bed, typing some last messages before he put it away and fell asleep.

The sun broke in through his curtains and sparkled on the King's face, awakening him. Gilgamesh let out a yawn and got up from his bed, wiping the sleeping sand from his eyes. He opened his enormous treasury and put on his favorite white dress shirt with a pair of black pants. He opened the doors and went straight away for the dining hall, he was starving after the rage he went through last night. He sat at the head of the table, with his head, well rather hair, in a disarray. He started to fix his hair as he was waiting for his chef to come out with his meal, with a sleepy Eudocia coming into the room sitting next to Gilgamesh.

Anos came out with more silver platters featuring a more recent dish, Pancakes! Eudocia frowned at the dish, hoping for something more carnivorous. The next platter, however got her smiling, a plate of crispy bacon. Her eyes widened and she began to chow down, trying to hold back, however failing miserably.

"I've decided today to recruit the people of Carrefore and to attempt to rebuild my land. Then we shall have the bases of my Kingdom." The King let it out casually as he took another bite of his fluffy,white pancake. All he heard was a "Mhm" from Eudocia's full mouth. The King let out a little smile before finishing his breakfast in, almost peace. Gilgamesh looked at Anos and he already nodded his head, making sure he would look after the palace.

The two left the comforts of the palace in a somber way, their faces sad as they left the embrace of luxury and now had to endure another traverse across the Endless Dunes. Gilgamesh turned around and noticed the large palace that now was distinct in the town…they would be able to come back to this place. He took note of the sun's rise and took a metal picture of what the place looked like before they went into the dunes.


"…Uhhh pet…do you remember where Carrefore is?"
