The Third Strongest

" Why are we in an even hotter place…? murmured Percival, as the TTT were walking within the land between the two rivers.

" Mamma needs a tan " said Elizabeth, as she went from vanilla to caramel.

Percival could not decide between horny or worried.

They had now arrived at the mighty walls of Uruk.

Where they said hai to the guards, as they entered one of the first cities in history.

" Fancy a game? " said a stranger, covered in a hood and cloak.

Elizabeth could see that Percival needed a break. And the stranger certainly caught her attention.

" I will play " said Elizabeth, as the Royal Game of Ur was sat before the two of them.

" May I know your name? " said the stranger, as he made the first move.

" I am the Detective "

" That is not a real name "

" Neither is stranger "

The man smiled.

" Just call me… Bill "

" Games? "

Bill looked at Elizabeth in awe and confusion.

" You guessed who I am, " said Bill, as the game was coming to a close.

" It was rather easy "

" How so? "

" That snake tattoo was a dead give away "

Bill looked upon the tattoo on his left arm.

The King laughed.

" I lost "

" Willingly " said the Detective, as she noticed the blue piercing eyes; from under the hood.

Bill stood up from his chair.

" Follow me "

The TTT were now within the ziggurat place.

Where Bill took off his disguise, revealing his angel wings: with the chains on them.

Percival admired the right arm armor piece(which had a lyra fragment bull head on it - at the shoulder. The Tiamat cylinder seal head could be seen on the forearm of the armor piece. And the face of Humbaba painted on the chest piece).

The Detective could not help but gaze into those bright blue eyes.

" What do you see? " asked Bill with a grin.

" Pain "

Bill paused; for he was not expecting that answer.

Elizabeth noticed the pain disappear, as Enkidu walked in.

" Hello, sweety, " said Enkidu, as he kissed Bill.

Percival was now the one to look on in awe, as he was absorbed by Enkidu's bright emerald eyes.

He then noticed something else.

" Looks of a man… and a woman… "

The TTT were welcomed by the King and Queen of Uruk.

They even got to meet Emebaragesi and Peštur - Gilgamesh's two sisters.

But, the one, whom the Detective was looking forward to meeting the most. Was none other than the third strongest in all of creation - Melitron.

Melitron sendt her children: Megatron and Kubaba. To be with their father: Kushim. During the duration of this adventure.

" To what do I owe this honor? " said the third strongest.

" I should be the one to say so, " said Elizabeth with a bow.

Looking upon Melitron. Percival had only this to say:

" There are a lot of sexy people in this city "

After feasting, and drinking a lot of Ebla beer.

Everyone were gathered within the throne room. For Bill wished to confirm; what he already suspected.

" My champion has gone rogue "

" Champion? " said Percival, confused.

" It seems " said Elizabeth; " that Birhurturra died when Aga of Kish was defeated "

Enkidu looked sad, while Bill kept his emotions in check.

But, the Detective could have sworn: that she noticed those bright blue eyes become damp… for a single second.

" Then… how is he back- " Percival paused for a moment, as he found the answer to his own question; " a Horla Hunter "

" And not only that " said Melitron; " but Birhurturra also has the power of the Seven Sin Sebitti "

(Real quick. The Seven Sin Sebitti(and the powers they grant/have) is as follows:

Sebitti One; Pride - the Paw of the Lion, the Talon of the eagle. Can transform into a lion or an eagle.

Sebitti Two; Sloth - The Snake. Can heal oneself.

Sebitti Three; Greed - The Dragon. Can turn into a dragon, or fly.

Sebitti Four; Gluttony - The Burning Fire. Can summon/control an all-consuming fire.

Sebitti Five; Lust - The Foremost Snake. Can summon forth an overwhelming strength.

Sebitti Six; Envy - The Flood. Can summon/control an all-encompassing flood.

Sebitti Seven; Wrath - The Flashing Lightning. Can summon forth lightning, which no one can come back from.)

" He should be easy to deal with. For someone like you " said the Detective with a smile, as she looked upon Melitron.

Melitron shrugged her shoulders.

" She will do no such thing " said Bill, rather sternly; " I am… was his King… his best friend. It falls to me to grant him rest. And to ensure that his place in Bright Dilmun is all but assured "

As the King had decreed, so it shall be.

It was while everyone looked on: from atop the mighty walls, as Birhurturra made his way towards Bill.

Gilgamesh's heart broke, as he looked upon the broken, corrupt version of his dear, old friend.

Bill let out a sigh. As the heartbreaking battle began.

The battle was so fierce. That even Ereshkigal could feel. The Anunnaki gods all beheld the incredible battle from atop E-Kur.

The moment had now come. The rare moments. Where the King of Uruk shed tears, as he stood over his broken friend.

The battle was over… the battle was won.

Bill fell to his knees, as Birhurturra vanished for a second time.

Enkidu wrapped her arms around her beloved. And the two of them sat like that for a while. Not moving. Only feeling.
