Behind the Curtains (New Babylon)

[Gilgamesh]

The King sat there smiling at his assassin who was like putty in his hands. Knocking at the door and his healed jolted. Anos slowly entered the room eyeing the assassin, unsure of his qualities and his trustworthiness. His blue eyes showing no sign of emotion and dully looked at his King. It seems as if he was tired of dealing with the other primes.

"My lord, the two Primes who had left to deal with the Empire has come back."

Gilgamesh's crooked smile grew wider. "Oh that sounds great. Did they return with what I asked for?" He could wait to place his trophy in his bedroom as a sign of the weak empire's leadership.

Anos looked a bit flustered as he began to speak. "Well about that sir…they seem to have brought more than just a helmet." Gilgamesh raised his eyebrow almost dragging every word from his servant. "They had captured…"

Shay and Agnès entered the room with a man on Shay's shoulder. He tossed him on the floor causing a large "Ooof" from the target. He sat there groaning in pain for a while before Gilgamesh finally spoke.

"Perfect!" I am so glad that you two have succeeded the mission without harm I suppose? I see no wounds, would you like to be sent to the Infirmary?"

Shay spoke up before Agnès. "No-"

Gilgamesh's lips curled and he immediately interrupted. "Excellent." He walked down from his throne towards the body on the floor. He lifted the man's head and looked as if he were inspecting an animal. "Anos, please take off this man's uniform and prepare the interrogation room." His eyes turned to the other primes in the group.

"Ah yes the rest of you. You shall interrogate this man as soon as he is ready and find any information that I may deem valuable. Raid plots, supply runs, any plans to destroy my Kingdom…or well anything the mongrels have come up with to try and deter my progress." The King sat back on his throne looking down at his hands. "Oh and I assure you, you'll be greatly rewarded. For I am a kind and generous King."
