The daughter of he who is second only to God part 1

The epic Gilgamesh

Near the throne of God, are two beings, one of the beings is called Metatron, the other being is his daughter, Melitron.

Melitron sits on her father's lap.

Metatron looks at his dear daughter.

" Father, you look sad, is it because I am leaving soon " said Melitron.

Metatron was quiet for a moment.

" Well, of course I am sad, my dear daughter is going to be all on her own for awhile " said Metatron.

" Please don't worry father, for I am strong, and I know how use your cube if I need help " said Melitron with a smile.

Metatron also smiled.

" Remember, Melitron, my cube grants you access and control of every weapon in creation, my cube also gives you access and control of other things, but for now, use my cube to summon any weapon you wish " said Metatron.

Melitron smiled and nodded.

Metatron patted his daughters head.

Melitron got off her father's lap, and now Melitron stood before her father.

" I will make you proud " said Melitron with a smile.

Melitron then left the spot, where she and her father were, near the throne of God.

Metatron looked sad again.

" But you have already made me proud " said Metatron with a smile on his face.

Later.

The year is around 2800-2500 BC.

Melitron finds herself on a unknown world.

Melitron started to walk on this strange new world.

After having walked for awhile, on a road, the road led to a fortress/Kingdom, the kingdom was known as Uruk.

Uruk had walls so big that a giant would have a hard time getting over.

Melitron arrived at one of the gates of Uruk, where she was stopped by a guard.

" Holt, who are you? And what business do have here in Uruk? " said the guard.

" Before I answer, may I just ask, who is it that you serve " said Melitron.

" We serve King Gilgamesh, the King of all Uruk " said the guard.

" I see, then I would like to speak to King Gilgamesh " said Melitron.

" For what purpose? " said the guard.

" I would like to offer my assistance to the King " said Melitron with a smile.

The guard looked at the little incident child in front of him.

" Very well, head straight towards the ziggurat in the middle of Uruk, it is there you will find the King " said the guard.

Melitron smiled and bowed.

Melitron then went inside Uruk.

While walking towards the ziggurat, Melitron could not help but notice how lively Uruk was.

The people were happy and cheerful, and did their jobs with smile on their faces.

Melitron could not help but be infected by the people's joy.

After having walked for a while.

Melitron reached the ziggurat, Melitron then had to walk up the many stairs of the ziggurat.

After having walked up the stairs, Melitron reached the throne room where King Gilgamesh was sitting on his throne, but there was a man next to the throne.

Melitron looked at King Gilgamesh.

King Gilgamesh was ⅓ human and ⅔ god.

King Gilgamesh had long black hair and blue eyes.

King Gilgamesh had a red snake tattoo around his left arm, the snake tattoo's tail was on King Gilgamesh's left shoulder, the body of the snake tattoo circled around King Gilgamesh's whole left arm, the head of the snake tattoo was at King Gilgamesh's left hand palm, with the mouth of the snake tattoo open at his left hand palm.

King Gilgamesh had armor around his whole right arm, with the head of a bull (as armor) on his right shoulder.

King Gilgamesh also had armor on from his hip down to his feet, the armor was covered in emeralds, rubies and lapis lazuli.

King Gilgamesh also had angel wings with chains on them.

King Gilgamesh also had a small cape at the back of his hip, the small cape had the crest of Utu(Shamash) on it.

Melitron just kept staring at King Gilgamesh.

King Gilgamesh looked at the little girl in front of him.

King Gilgamesh opened his mouth and said

" Who are you? "

Melitron bowed and then said

" My name is Melitron, and I have come to give the King my assistance " said Melitron.

King Gilgamesh kept looking at the little girl.

" Assistance? What kind of assistance can you offer me? Migás " said King Gilgamesh.

" I can- but before Melitron could finish, a priestess ran into the throne room.

" My King! My King! " said the priestess.

" What is it? " said King Gilgamesh.

" It is Ishtar, she is at the wall of Uruk, and she has brought the bull of heaven, Gugalanna " said the priestess.

King Gilgamesh rubbed his forehead.

" What does that annoying goddess want now… Myrddin, follow me " said King Gilgamesh.

The man next to King Gilgamesh's throne was Myrddin Wyllt, King Gilgamesh's court advisor.

" Of course sire " said Myrddin.

King Gilgamesh stood up from his throne and then walked towards Melitron.

" Little gi- Melitron would you offer me assistance " said King Gilgamesh.

Melitron looked up at King Gilgamesh, Melitron smiled and then said

" Of course, my King "

King Gilgamesh smiled, King Gilgamesh then said

" Let us see what the annoying goddess wants "

After a couple of minutes.

King Gilgamesh, Myrddin and Melitron were all three on one of the walls of Uruk, and in front of all three of them was the gigantic, bull of heaven, Gugalanna, Gugalanna had the appearance of a bull mixed with gold and silver, and Gugalannas horns were made of diamonds.

Gugalanna also had large wings, which meant that Gugalanna could fly.

On top of Gugalannas head sat the goddess of beauty and fertility herself, Ishtar.

Ishtar had long red hair and blue eyes.

Gugalanna lowered its head, so that Ishtar and King Gilgamesh were now at eye sight with each other.

King Gilgamesh looked at Ishtar.

" I see that Ea fixed Gugalanna for you " said King Gilgamesh.

Ishtar just smiled

" What do you want here in Uruk " said King Gilgamesh.

" Why… I want you " said Ishtar with a seductive smile.

" I am not interested, so kindly take you bull and leave my kingdom " said King Gilgamesh.

" I see that there is still some bad blood between us " said Ishtar.

King Gilgamesh just looked at Ishtar.

Melitron and Myrddin were both quiet, neither one knew what to say or if they were allowed to say anything.

" You have some nerve to come here Ishtar " said King Gilgamesh.

" Why? The people of Uruk worship me, you should be honored that I come here, or is it that you blame me for the death of your beloved Enkidu " said Ishtar.

King Gilgamesh got angry.

Ishtar smiled.

" Then why don't I make it up to you with a kiss " said Ishtar.

Ishtar leaned closer to King Gilgamesh, Ishtar was about to kiss King Gilgamesh, but that was when Ishtar felt something metallic on her lips, Ishtar opened her eyes and saw a sword (that appeared out of thin air) was in front of her and King Gilgamesh's lips.

" Ops " said King Gilgamesh with a smile.

(Note: King Gilgamesh's portals have the shape and image of the handbags the Anunnaki once held)

Ishtar became furious.

" You shall pay for that with your life " said Ishtar.

The colossal Gugalanna was about to attack.

Multiple weapons appeared behind King Gilgamesh.

Gugalanna was about to strike the wall of Uruk, but that was when Melitron held back Gugalannas attack with her left hand.

Gugalanna bunched backward by the force of his own attack.

King Gilgamesh, Myrddin and Ishtar all three looked at the little girl who was now flying in the air.

"By Anu, who is this girl? " said Ishtar who could not believe what just happened.

King Gilgamesh smiled, the weapons behind King Gilgamesh then all disappeared.

Melitron flew back and was now beside King Gilgamesh and Myrddin.

" What is the matter Ishtar? You seem scared, and by a child no less " said King Gilgamesh.

" Mark my words, King of Uruk, I will have my revenge for this humiliation " said Ishtar.

Gugalanna spread its wings and then flew away from Uruk.

King Gilgamesh looked down at Melitron.

" It seems that you can be useful to me, after all " said King Gilgamesh with a smile.

" I am honored you would say so, your majesty, but I do have one question " said Melitron.

" Speak and I shall answer " said King Gilgamesh.

" How did you make weapons appear out from thin air? " said Melitron.

" Oh that, I had Myrddin fuse my armory/treasury with a magic satchel, so now, I can bring forth any of my weapons/treasures from thin air, whenever I feel like it " said King Gilgamesh with a smile.

" So your ability is kind of like my own " said Melitron to herself.

" Well, let us head back to the ziggurat, I have grown tired of dealing with that annoying goddess " said King Gilgamesh.

" Yes sire " said both Melitron and Myrddin.

And so, all three of them returned to the ziggurat.

Later.

Gugalanna landed at a valley some distance away from Uruk.

" Damn that girl, and who the hell is she " said Ishtar.

" You look like you could use some help " said a voice.

Ishtar looked down from Gugalanna and saw Jabru, god of the underworld and father of all Elamite gods.

Ishtar sighed, Ishtar then said

" What do you want, Jabru "

" Why, I want you " said Jabru.

" And so does many others, why should you be any different " said Ishtar.

" Because I can help you get revenge on King Gilgamesh and that little girl " said Jabru with a smile.

Ishtar looked at Jabru.

" How? " said Ishtar.

Jabru smiled.

The lion that weapons have no effect on

A week has gone since Ishtar visited Uruk.

Things have not changed in Uruk.

The people are just as busy as ever, but the people of Uruk do not complain, they enjoy their work, for they work in honor of their King, King Gilgamesh.

But few things have changed, like Melitron now being one of King Gilgamesh's personal assistants, just like Myrddin.

" What are the reports on our crops " said King Gilgamesh.

" Sire, I am happy to say that our crops are healthy as ever, and our storages are all full " said Myrddin.

" Good, and what of our military " said King Gilgamesh.

" All our soldiers are in peak form and we have just started to train new soldiers " said Myrddin.

" Excellent " said King Gilgamesh.

Melitron just admired and was amazed at how King Gilgamesh and Myrddin Wyllt communicated so easily.

" It seems that Uruk can enjoy another prosperous day " said King Gilgamesh, but that was when a guard ran into the throne room.

" My King! A lion has breached the north gate and is now within Uruk! " yelled the guard.

" Migás, you dear cause all this trouble over one lion, why do you not kill it yourself " said King Gilgamesh.

" Forgive me sire, it is just that, none of our weapons can pierce the lion's skin " said the guard.

" A lion no weapon can harm, I see, very well, I shall personally take care of this lion myself, Melitron, Myrddin, come and see me work " said King Gilgamesh with a smile.

" Sire " said both Melitron and Myrddin.

King Gilgamesh, Melitron and Myrddin all three were now heading towards the north gate.

At the north gate, was the lion attacking everything in sight.

King Gilgamesh, Myrddin and Melitron now arrived at the north gate.

" So that is the lion, Myrddin, tell me of this lion " said King Gilgamesh.

" Sire, the lion before you is known as the Nemean lion, as the guard said, no weapon can pierce its skin " said Myrddin.

" I see, then I just have to kill it with my bare hands " said King Gilgamesh with a smile.

" Sire, please allow me to handle this " said Melitron.

" As amusing as that would be, I need the exercise, sitting on a throne all day can be quite dull " said King Gilgamesh with a smile.

Melitron just looked at her King.

" Now then, it is time for this lion to die " said King Gilgamesh.

King Gilgamesh's angel wings disappeared into thin air.

The Nemean lion now looked at King Gilgamesh.

" That is right, I am your opponent, Myrddin, Melitron, make sure that my people keep their distance " said King Gilgamesh.

" Sire " said both Melitron and Myrddin.

King Gilgamesh and the Nemean lion now charged at each other.

King Gilgamesh and the Nemean lion now started to wrestle with one another.

The Nemean lion was struggling against King Gilgamesh, for King Gilgamesh was after all, as strong as a bull.

" How disappointing, and here I thought that you would be of some amusement " said King Gilgamesh.

King Gilgamesh turned his back to the Nemean lion.

The Nemean lion then charged straight towards King Gilgamesh.

King Gilgamesh turned around, and then ran his right hand straight through the Nemean lion's mouth, King Gilgamesh's right hand could now be seen on top of the Nemean lion's head, for King Gilgamesh's right hand had come right through the Nemean lion's skull.

King Gilgamesh looked at the dead lion before him.

" Pathetic " said King Gilgamesh.

King Gilgamesh then took out his right hand, the corpse of the Nemean lion fell to the ground.

" Guards, clean up this mess " said King Gilgamesh, but when King Gilgamesh turned to look at the Nemean lion, the Nemean lion had turned into dust.

" Hmm " said King Gilgamesh.

Myrddin and Melitron ran up to the King, Myrddin gave the king a napkin to clean the blood from his armor on his right hand.

" Thank you " said King Gilgamesh.

" Think nothing of it, sire " said Myrddin.

" Hmm, Melitron, I want you to help rebuild what has been damaged " said King Gilgamesh.

" Sire " said Melitron.

King Gilgamesh smiled.

" Myrddin, let us return to the ziggurat, I have a feeling, I know who did this " said King Gilgamesh.

" Sire " said Myrddin.

King Gilgamesh and Myrddin returned to the ziggurat.

Nammu

Melitron is walking back to the ziggurat after having help an old lady at a flower shop.

Melitron was walking in her own thoughts but that was when Melitron noticed an old lady, sitting all by herself.

Melitron walked over to the old lady and the closer Melitron got, the more Melitron could see that the old lady was not old, she looked like she was in her 20s or 30s, it was her eyes that gave the illusion of her being old, maybe because, the lady was wise in some way.

" Excuse me, are you here all by yourself? " said Melitron.

The lady looked at Melitron.

" Hello there dear child, and yes, for the moment, I am alone " said the lady.

" Well, do you mind telling me your name, my name is Melitron " said Melitron.

" My name is Nammu, dear child " said Nammu.

Melitron sat down next to Nammu.

Melitron and Nammu then talked for a while, it was also here that Melitron learned who Nammu really was.

" So you are a primeval goddess " said Melitron.

" I am the the forgotten primeval mother goddess " said Nammu.

Melitron just looked at Nammu.

" Dear child, I have a favor to ask " said Nammu.

" Ask " said Melitron.

" Do you mind if I inhabit your body " said Nammu.

" May I ask why " said Melitron.

" I wish to watch over the young, and I feel that I can do that inside you " said Nammu with a smile.

Melitron thought about it for a moment.

" Sure " said Melitron with a smile.

Nammu smiled, Nammu's whole body then started to glow, Nammu had now inhabited Melitron.

" Thank you, dear child " said Nammu from within Melitron.

" Think nothing of it, I just hope that you will not be bored " said Melitron.

Nammu giggled from inside Melitron.

Melitron now walked back to the ziggurat, alone with her new friend, Nammu.

Indra

Melitron was outside Uruk, painting some art on the walls of Uruk, but that was when Melitron could hear Bollywood music.

Melitron turned around and saw someone laying on top a rock.

" Uhm, are you the one playing the music " said Melitron.

" Oh, sorry about that " said the individual, the individual then snapped his fingers, and the Bollywood music stopped playing.

" Can I help you? " said Melitron.

" Yes, but first, allow me to introduce myself, my name is Devraj Indra, but please, just call me Indra " said Indra.

" My name is Melitron, how can I be of service " said Melitron.

" I am glad you asked, I wish to inhabit your body " said Indra.

" May I ask why " said Melitron.

" I wish to spread music across the world, and I feel, that I can best do that while inhabiting you " said Indra.

Melitron thought about it for a moment.

" Sure, but I hope that you do not mind sharing " said Melitron.

" Of course not " said Indra.

Indra's whole body then glowed, Indra had now inhabited Melitron's body.

" Why, hello there " said Nammu.

" It is an honor " said Indra from inside Melitron.

Melitron went back to paint the walls of Uruk.

Trud and the tale of Enkidu and Gilgamesh

One day.

Melitron met the daughter of Thor, Trud.

Trud does not know how she ended up in Uruk, but Trud is now wielding her father's hammer, the legendary Mjolnir, Trud also has her best friend, or rather, her most trusting steed with her, Hofvarpnir.

Trud and Melitron become friends rather fast.

King Gilgamesh has allowed Trud to help Melitron with her duties.

But right now, Melitron is looking for someone within Uruk, while Trud is enjoying a ride on Hofvarpnir.

Melitron walked over to one of the houses within Uruk.

" Do you think she is here? " said Indra.

" According to what Myrddin said, this is where the mother of King Gilgamesh lives, the goddess Ninsun " said Melitron.

A woman walked over to Melitron.

" Are you lost? " said the woman.

Melitron looked at the woman, but the woman (who looked like she was in her 20s) appeared to be too young to be the mother of King Gilgamesh (who looked like he was in his early 20s)

" I am looking for someone " said Melitron.

" Who? " said the woman.

" I am looking for Ninsun " said Melitron.

" Then look no further, for I am Ninsun " said Ninsun.

Melitron was surprised.

" But you look so young and beautiful " said Melitron.

" I get that a lot " said Ninsun with a smile.

Melitron was speechless.

" How may I be of help " said Ninsun.

Melitron now had a serious look on her face.

" I wish to talk with you about the King " said Melitron.

Melitron and Ninsun were now inside Ninsun's house within Uruk.

Ninsun and Melitron were now sitting at a table.

" Is there something wrong with my son " said Ninsun.

" It is just that... the King seems sad for some reason " said Melitron.

Ninsun was quiet for a moment.

" Whenever I see King Gilgamesh on his throne, and he thinks that he is alone, I sometime see tears from his eyes, I have asked Myrddin about it, but he says that it is not his place to say, so I was hoping that you could tell me, please tell me why King Gilgamesh seems so sad " said Melitron

Ninsun just looked at Melitron.

" You have seen the statue within Uruk, right? " said Ninsun.

" The one made of the finest material and has emeralds for eyes " said Melitron.

" That statue was made in honor of my late son, Enkidu " said Ninsun.

Melitron was surprised.

" So King Gilgamesh had a brother… " said Melitron.

" No, not quite, Enkidu is more like a adopted son and brother, Enkidu was not only my son's brother, but Enkidu also gave birth to my son's (Gilgamesh's) child " said Ninsun.

Melitron's whole world come crashing down.

"....but…. you just said that Enkidu was your adoptive son and King Gilgamesh's adoptive brother, would that not make Enkidu a man…. how did Enkidu give birth??? " said Melitron.

Ninsun smiled.

" Well, technically speaking, Theseus did also have two fathers, but in my two sons case, you first need to know the story from the start. Before my son(Gilgamesh) met Enkidu, My son(Gilgamesh) was very lustful, so much so that he left no virgin to her lover, and my son(Gilgamesh) also demanded to be first with a bride, one day, Enkidu come to Uruk from the wild, Enkidu challenged my son(Gilgamesh) boldly, my two sons fought it out right in the middle of Uruk, my son(Gilgamesh) was the one victories, but my son(Gilgamesh) also started to grow fond of Enkidu, fondenes slowly changed into love, and soon, only Enkidu could be seen within my son(Gilgamesh's) chamber, Enkidu was also made out of clay, which meant that Enkidu could take on the functions of a woman and a man, but my son(Gilgamesh) preferred Enkidu as a woman, their love for each other grew more and more by the day, and then one day, both Enkidu and my son(Gilgamesh) decided to have a child together, and so, 9 months later, Enkidu gave birth to a son, Enkidu's and Gilgamesh's son's name was Ur-Nungal, my grandson " said Ninsun.

Melitron looked at Ninsun.

" What happened after Ur-Nungal was born " said Melitron.

" Enkidu and my son(Gilgamesh) decided to go on one last adventure before settling down in Uruk and raise Ur-Nungal, they went to the Cedar Forest to fight Humbaba, and that was when everything went wrong " said Ninsun in a sad tone.

" What happened? " said Melitron a little sacred.

" Enkidu and my son(Gilgamesh), did defeat and kill Humbaba,the guardian of the Cedar Forest, with the help of Utu(Shamash), but that was when my son(Gilgamesh) caught the eyes of Ishtar, Ishtar come to Uruk to get my son(Gilgamesh) in marriage, but my son(Gilgamesh) refused Ishtar, since he had happily married Enkidu, Ishtar grew furious, and in her rage she send the bull of heaven to Uruk, Enkidu and my son(Gilgamesh) were thankfully able to defend Uruk, and they killed the bull of heaven, but the gods were not pleased, they wanted retribution for the death of the bull of heaven, but since my son(Gilgamesh) was important to them, and Enkidu being their own creation, Enkidu was the one who paid the price and was killed " said Ninsun, a tear now ran down Ninsun's cheek.

Melitron also had tears in her eyes.

" After the death of Enkidu, my son(Gilgamesh), fell into a deep depression, my son(Gilgamesh) wanted to go on a journey for immortality, but before my son(Gilgamesh) left, he asked me to look after Ur-Nungal, my son(Gilgamesh) journeyed to the underworld, where he found the plant of everlasting life, but before my son(Gilgamesh) returned to Uruk with the plant, he took a bath to cleanse himself, that was when a snake come and stole the plant of everlasting life, and that is why my son(Gilgamesh) has that snake tattoo around his left arm, a constant reminder that a snake stole immortality from him. My son(Gilgamesh) returned to Uruk, defeated. The years went by, and I raised Ur-Nungal till he was about the same age as you, Ur-Nungal did not see much of his father growing up, probably because, my son(Gilgamesh) saw Enkidu whenever he looked at Ur-Nungal " said Ninsun.

" What happened to Ur-Nungal? " said Melitron.

" Ur-Nungal said that he wanted to travel to a place called Camelot, Ur-Nungal even took Sharur with him, Ur-Nungal does have accesses to my son(Gilgamesh's) armory/treasury, but Ur-Nungal prefers to just use Sharur. From what I have heard, my son(Gilgamesh) has not taken anyone to his chamber since Enkidu's death, so now he sits on his throne in solitude " said Ninsun in a sad tone.

" Wow, so Enkidu left such a mark on King Gilgamesh, that the King can no longer get hard for anyone else " said Indra.

" Indra! Shame on you " said Nammu.

" So there you have it, the story of my two sons " said Ninsun.

Melitron wiped the tears from her eyes.

" Is Enkidu buried here in Uruk? " said Melitron.

" No, Enkidu is buried in the underworld, Enkidu and Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, did get along well together, so Ereshkigal offered my son(Gilgamesh) that they bury Enkidu in the underworld " said Ninsun.

" When was the statue made? " said Melitron.

" Right after Enkidu's death, my son(Gilgamesh) wanted to honor Enkidu, so the statue was made in his likeness, by Uruk's greatest craftsmen, and only the finest material were used, such as lapis lazuli, rubies, gold, silver, diamonds, only two emaldes were used as the eyes of the statue, since Enkidu had green eyes " said Ninsun.

Melitron was quiet for a moment.

Melitron then stood up from her chair and walked over to the door.

" Thank you, Ninsun, for telling me the tale of Enkidu and Gilgamesh, I am grateful " said Melitron.

Melitron then left the house of Ninsun, Melitron was now heading back to the ziggurat.

" Please, watch over my son " said Ninsun with tears in her eyes.

The space bird

Trud and Melitron were flying through the air on Hófvarpnir.

" You were not kidding when you said that Hófvarpnir could fly " said Melitron.

" I told you " said Trud.

The two girls were having the time of their lives in the air.

" So, should we head back to Uruk " said Trud.

" Let us " said Melitron.

" Melitron, be careful! " said Nammu.

" Why, what is wrong? " said Melitron.

" Look up " said Indra.

Melitron looked up and gasped.

" What are you looking at " said Trud, who then also looked up, and even Trud could not believe what she saw.

Both girls saw a giant, dragon-like bird who was so big, that it could not fit inside the sky.

" Guys… " said Melitron.

" That is Minokawa, a bird that lives in space, it is also said that Minokawa eats suns and moons " said Nammu.

" Hey, Meli, call me crazy, but I think that the bird is looking at you " said Trud.

" What gives you that idea… " said Melitron.

" Oh, just the fact that its giant eyes are looking straight at you! " said Trud.

" Honestly, I am more impressed, that Hofvarpnir is staying calm in this moment " said Melitron.

" Oh he is used to it, he has seen the eagle that sits atop Yggdrasil, after all " said Trud.

" I wonder what this Minokawa wants " said Melitron.

" Try giving it an order " said Trud.

Melitron thought about it for a moment, Melitron then said

" Fly into space "

Minokawa did as it was told and flew back into space.

" Woah " said Trud.

" Now come back " said Melitron, and just like that, Minokawa was over the earth, again.

" It seems that it likes you, and now you have a pet " said Trud.

Melitron smiled, Melitron then said

" Go back into space and please come when I call "

Minokawa flew back into space, and disappeared among the stars.

" Well, I guess that a congratulation is in order " said Trud with a smile.

" Come on, let us head back to Uruk " said Melitron.

" You just want to tell King Gilgamesh and Myrddin about your new pet, right? " said Trud.

Melitron was just smiling.

" Fine " said Trud, and so, Hofvarpnir flew back to Uruk.
