Weakness, pain.
I hate the despicability of the gods, and even more, I hate myself for not having the ability to stop this from happening.
There are thousands of treasures in the king's treasury, but none of them can be used at this moment.
So now Gilgamesh could only walk mechanically, holding Enkidu and Ananu step by step out of the palace, walking through the streets, and walking towards the outside of Uruk.
Behind him were Siduli and Shamhat.
The people of Uruk noticed the king's whereabouts. They gathered on both sides of the road, watching the king holding the unconscious Enkidu, and understood what happened.
They were in mourning.
A few days ago, King Gilgamesh was celebrating killing Gugalana, guarding the great Uruk, and praising Ananu and Enki as the strongest heroes, but now he
They don't know what happened, but they must be sad for them.
Ananu and Enkidu have long been a part of Uruk, a part of Uruk. If they die, the whole city will grieve for them.
Without Ananu, the city would not have an army, and the city walls and farmland would still be invaded by bandits and monsters; without Enkidu, the city would not have wisdom and many things that can improve the quality of life. It won't show up at all.
The wind and clouds roared, as if they were crying, and the rain poured down, as if they were mourning.
Enkidu, lying in Gilgamesh's arms, still had some breath, but he understood that he no longer even had the strength to struggle, and his only reaction to the pain was twitching.
He wants to live. As a life, he wants to live extremely much.
But he was going to die, and he knew it.
Gilgamesh walked and walked out of Uruk. A large number of Uruk people gathered at the city gate. Rain mixed with tears of mourning fell on the ground.
He had already reached the woods outside Uruk.
This was originally a wasteland. It was here that Gilgamesh met Enkidu and fought with him. Then Ananu attacked and almost killed him. The wound left on his abdomen even reached There are still scars that cannot be removed.
But Ananu, who almost destroyed Uruk, also brought seeds in the storm. Ananu and Enkidu cleaned up the wasteland. Now, a few years later, it is already a low of woods.
"Okay, Jill"
"Put me down."
Hearing Enkidu's voice, Gilgamesh's body softened, but his arms were still steady.
"Enkidu!"
Ananu ran over quickly.
Enkidu didn't look at him for the moment. He moved his gaze to Shamhat.
"This is my last blessing, Shamhat"
"The beautiful person who gave me intelligence"
With a smile on his face, he sighed.
"I hope you will no longer be swayed by your position, I hope you can find your own happiness, and I hope you can live a good life without disasters."
Shamhat lowered his head and sobbed quietly.
She still remembered how she met Enkidu. At that time, Enkidu still had the appearance of a beast, but now...
He looked at Siduli again.
"No need to grieve, Siduli."
"You have more important things to do than grieve."
Ananu held one of Enkidu's hands, lowered his head and choked silently. Enkidu looked at Siduri with gentle eyes, entrusting him with his last words.
"After Ananu and I leave, we must keep the situation inside Uruk... uh——."
As he spoke, Enkidu felt a sharp pain in his soul again, and what he was saying stopped uncontrollably.
"Enkidu, stop talking, stop talking"
Siduri knelt in front of Enkidu, with liquid on her face that didn't know whether it was rain or tears, and she swallowed it.
"It must be said now."
Enkidu just shook his head.
"Gil can't handle it alone. You have to stay with him, Siduli. Can you promise me?"
The rain wet Enkidu's hair, and it hung down, covering one of his eyes, but there was another eye that was shining brightly, making Siduri afraid to look at it, but she was determined to look at it. .
"I will do it. Even if my life ends, I will stand by King Gilgamesh's side."
Facing the dying Enkidu, Siduri made a vow with a trembling voice.
Enkidu closed his eyes with satisfaction and did not open them again.
He gave Shamhat a blessing and Siduri an instruction, and then
He stretched out his hand and cupped Gilgamesh's face.
"Hey, Jill."
Gilgamesh opened his mouth a little and grabbed Enkidu's hand.
Enkidu's hand was very cold, and the warmth was quickly leaving Enkidu's body.
"Can you feel it? In this respect, I am very similar to humans." A smile appeared on Enkidu's lips.
Gilgamesh lowered his head and looked at Enkidu, choking and weeping.
It was a pain that was enough to suffocate.
"Don't leave me, Enkidu." His only remaining voice sounded softly from the bottom of his throat.
"Um."
Enkidu just nodded slightly, then took his hand out of Gilgamesh's trembling hand and pressed it on his chest.
"This is my gift, Jill, and whatever you do with it is fine."
Gilgamesh felt the power and the things gradually appearing in his hands, his eyes gradually became unbelievable.
"Enkidu, you"
Enkidu smiled and shook his head slightly.
What is the thing that appears in Gilgamesh's hand?
It was a chain, a golden chain.
That is the lock of heaven.
That's the real Enkidu.
Enkidu and Ananu are both living weapons.
And what is Enkidu doing now?
He is going to die, he is going to dust.
Therefore, he took away his life and left the weapon, the lifeless Lock of the Sky, to Gilgamesh.
This was his gift to Gilgamesh.
After confirming that the Lock of Heaven was in Gilgamesh's hand, Enkidu no longer focused on Gilgamesh.
He is no longer the Heavenly Lock, just a body whose vitality is about to run out.
The only thing left in his eyes was his brother, Ananu, the Key of Heaven.
"Ananu, hug me."
"hug me"
He gave Shamhat a blessing, Siduri a charge, and Gilgamesh a gift.
And in the end, he chose to seek the simplest hug for his brother.
Ana tried her best to hold Enkidu in her arms.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
Enkidu turned to dust in Ananu's arms and returned to the earth.
Ananu roared and cried, together with the sky and the earth.
