Chapter 7 - A LITTLE SECRET HERE A LITTLE SECRET THERE.

Suddenly, like coming out of water the palace was free from the presence of Nanshe.

everyone could breath well again, it felt like the building would fall if she stayed any longer, they all looked around but the priestess of Nanshe had disappear into the air and echoes of her voice said, "another will rise".

It is terrifying as well, but the king will not know peace for a long time, knowing certainly that his kingdom will be collected from him, by whom? This question pondered he the king.

The ISREALITE screaming in his cell woke up to see the strange woman awake in the next cell,

" it is my nightmares again, it had gotten worst now,"

when he looked at her his heavy breathing became slow as he saw her tears for the first time.

"Why are you crying?" The Israelite asked her,

The strange woman said, "my brother is missing for over a year",

"How did you know that? Seeing that no one brings us news, but I must ask, who is your brother?"

Then she said, "I have seen a vision, and she continued weeping,

oh no! The destruction of this kingdom is soon to come, by one man's mistake the gods have judged him unkindly, his kingdom will be collected from him, by his own son,"

her wailing quickly became as that of Manny gods weeping with her, but she will not answer the questions of The Israelite.

The Israelite became extremely worried, his face betrayed him, not just because of the vision of the strange woman but because he himself, had seen himself in his nightmare setting the entire kingdom on fire, it is beginning to look more destined,

"Will I destroy this beautiful place? Will I take away loved ones from each other?

What is my destiny? And why do I see this horrible thing about myself?

Who is this person that destroys the kingdom? The Israelite will not share his own nightmare.

It is daylight and Ur-Nammu entered to offer them bread, as he looked at them, he discovered that they both looked sad like little children that wouldn't get along.

He said to them, "I think you both woke up from a bad dream, if not so, then this talking brat would be trying to explain stupid things, thinking that he is speaking mysteries, oh, how i pray that the gods will strike you dead!,"

The Israelite replied, "do you think I am the one that have been cursed by the gods? I do not even know the gods you speak of, but I can tell that each day I see you, you look like one completely forgotten and abandon by the gods, you have no more fame, your glory was quickly collected from you,

Look at you, the great Nammu is a prison guard,"

Nammu looked at him straight in the eye, walks close enough to him until the prison bars separated them, he dropped their bread, as the Israelite had already fled to the extreme end of the prison walls in panick, then Nammu walked away.

The strange woman said, "I wish I could laugh," the Israelite looked at her and said "so you really can't laugh?".

The streets of Babylon is always beautiful, the sharpness of the soil, the blazing sun on the walls make them appear golden, the dressing of their men, their sparkling red, pale black and sky blue.

those wealthy enough had gold rings attached to them, their smiles are like shooting stars, their woman's hair is like the night sky with many stars in it, but with all this things do you think that chaos will not be within them?

There's a secret group, lead by some of the ranking officials of most province, this group plans to remove the king from seat

the beautiful and colourful market is their meeting point, expressing darkness inside every beauty.

To pass message to one another, they will never seat together, it is in their beliefs that seating together will cause them to be caught.

There's another group that disguises to remove the king, but it is a secret watch group created by the kings relative, one of the highest ranking official, a Sakkanakku, Gilgamesh Sakkanakku the war hero himself,

his group had no ranking officials but high profile soldiers, because he is the commander of all the soldiers in mesopotamia even in Sparta where he is the Sakkanakku, King Sargon loves and trust him so much.

Gilgamesh Sakkanakku is in the market where he sees Aplahanda Sakkanakku ( he is also a ranking official, over the people of Venice) Gilgamesh said, "is that my very good friend Aplahanda?" He said this mocking Aplahanda,

Aplahanda looked at him and said "you flatter me dear friend," He replied Gilgamesh in a more grievous manner.

Gilgamesh replied, "I know you don't like me Aplahanda, and I don't like you too, sometimes I wonder why we are all relatives.

you know what? Aplahanda looked at him, Gilgamesh continued, "I have been suspecting you, for some reason I think you are hiding a lot of secrets," Gilgamesh made this statement with his right hands on his lips making a sign of wonder and extreme thought.

Aplahanda looked at him and said, "I sncerely feel you are so jealous of me Gilgamesh, I am simply Sakkanakku over Venice, a cultural man and a trader like me,

I believe you want all of my wealth, after all, all you know is war and battle, you are Sakkanakku over Sparta.

let me just tell you this Gilgamesh Sakkanakku, one day just one day you will realize that you are not immortal, trust me they are so many things that can hurt you,

come closer, Aplahanda Sakkanakku whispered in his ears, "I also suspect you, sooner or later the gods will decide your fate and I pray that the gods will be cruel on you"

Just as Aplahanda Sakkanakku was about to walk away, Gilgamesh held his hands back and said to his "ears, at least I still enjoy women," Gilgamesh went of laughing Aplahanda like a drunkard.

Aplahanda moving stealthily, communicated with a few people in the market, whiles looking at Gilgamesh Sakkanakku walk away far-off.

The king Sargon has ordered a meeting with all the ranking officials, all the Sakkanakku, all Hazannu and all Bēl pīhati to hear their plans and their better development for their kingdom, Aplahanda Sakkanakku was the last to enter...
