Gilgamesh Immortal (Chronicles of the Nephilim)
“In mere minutes, Enkidu was suited up in armor and arrived at Gilgamesh’s door.
As he was about to knock, the door opened to Gilgamesh, armored and ready to go meet their approaching nemesis. They heard the war horns of the city in the background. The army was mustering.
“You are late,” said Enkidu.
“Excuse me,” said Gilgamesh gesturing to his armor. “I am as ready as you are.”
“But I made it all the way to your room before you even opened the door,” said Enkidu.
Gilgamesh thought quickly, “The... king does not assist his servants. His servants assist him.” Got him, thought Gilgamesh.
“Would you prefer I help you with your armor next time, sire?” asked Enkidu with a touch of playful condescension.
Gilgamesh could not help but smile at his companion’s affectionate humor. But they had serious business to attend to.
“I will grant you a merit of honor before the entire city for punctuality and for being the first to gird your loins. But first, we have a city to protect, so shut up and let us get moving.”MoreLess
