Gilgamesh Sakkanakku looked at the guard soldier standing by, he went straight to him, walking like his anger has been settled, he looked at him and then he asks him,
"will you betray me and the king also?"
The guard soldier looking at him with fear, responded, "I am too lowly to desire the kings head"
Gilgamesh looked at him, squinting his eyes as he draws closer and closer to him.
He then leans forward to the guard soldier's ear, "I will certainly destroy you, yes, i know you have done nothing wrong, but trust me I will destroy and make this metal uniform of yours extremely heavy."
Just as the guard soldier was wondering what he was saying, Gilgamesh was walking away when he suddenly turned back and said, "give me your wife, young soldier"
The soldier responding, "i insist my Sakkanakku" his voice breaking with all amount of mixed emotions.
Gilgamesh Sakkanakku walks close to him for the second time, acting nearly like a psychopath, punched him quickly and angrily, as he punched him, Gilgamesh shouted, "Give... me... your... wife!!"
The guard soldier could not fight back, blood is all over him, he then stretch his hand as a gesture to say enough.
Gilgamesh Sakkanakku then walks away to go find his wife.
Aplahanda Sakkanakku is with the king even as the king sent out Gilgamesh in his grief, he knew the king is weak, it is time to discomfort his mind.
"My king" Aplahanda Sakkanakku called out, there's much to do in this hour, but I will recommend you rest, Gilgamesh Sakkanakku has been acting suspicious, the way he talks and behave, Gilgamesh is always ambitious, looking for another low life to rule over, I am not surprised that he had plotted all this.
King Sargon replied, "But I know Gilgamesh, he is not like that, he is crazy, but I know him".
The king sounded in such a maner towards him because he loved him.
"I know you love him so dearly, if not, which king asks a man suspected of treason to leave?
but have you forgotten so quickly, king Sargon, Aplahanda leaning towards the king's ear,
have you forgotten, how you treated your own friend, he shared his kingdom with you, Babylonian's previous king, how you usurp him of his throne? Why do you make Gilgamesh Sakkanakku seem different? It is just a lineage of usurpers.
Aplahanda Sakkanakku walks away leaving the king in complete confusion, shouting and breaking stuffs inside his house, Aplahanda walks away with a smirk on his face, knowing that his plans are coming to life.
who is now the ambitious one?
As Aplahanda Sakkanakku is walking away he ran into Gilgamesh, "oh Gilgamesh", Aplahanda began speaking, "So the rumors are true, look at you, you have no honour with your men.
tell me, can you still make jokes about me? especially about my manhood, you can't, do you know why? It is because I am more manly than you will ever be.
Do you see now that you are not immortal? The gods have answered my prayers and they are so cruel on you.
here is my advice, pray to the gods, Aplahanda was about walking away when he turned and said, "oh, even if I can't have women, at least the gods can hear me."
Aplahanda laughed so hard as he broke Gilgamesh, for the first time Gilgamesh has no words.
Aplahanda Sakkanakku quickly walks away, taking routes to loose anyone possibly following him, he went into the market to discuss with his officials, as they stop strategically discussing and moving.
"Why did you people call for a meeting?" Aplahanda Sakkanakku asks his secret group, "you people act like your don't know the times we are in."
Then one ranking official spoke, a Hazannu 1, "We need a plan"
Aplahanda rebuked him, "No way we are going to plan anything"
Bēl pīhati 1 responded, "we can still use the trading day to our advantage"
Aplahanda replied, "No we can't, do you not see it? It will put me on edge, the kings house might begin to suspect me, even at that I am not sure that the trading day will hold regarding what just happened to the king".
Hazannu 1 Interrupted, "but we need to strike him now, do you not see that he is weak and greatly dismayed? Any more delay then Gilgamesh will find his strength, with his secret group, I wonder who doesn't know about his secret group."
Aplahanda replied, "don't worry, this are desperate times, they say "desperate times require desperate measures", but that is not for us, we must lay low.
Just so you know, Gilgamesh Sakkanakku is under me, yes I know, it is only metaphorically, but however, I am holding him where it hurts the most.
Let us meet again when it is convenient, I will fill you in on what you have missed within the palace".
They all Departed leaving Aplahanda Sakkanakku to buy stuffs for his adopted children.
Gilgamesh Sakkanakku had finished laying with the guard soldier's wife, breathing heavily like he has relieved himself after being chased by a wild boar, he stood up, defiling her body with his naughty attitudes.
she could not scream, she could not utter a word, he is a ranking official, it will only do her hurt to scream.
When Gilgamesh was done, he left quickly to look for Ur-Nammu, when he had found him, he rushed towards him with a lot of desperation.
"Tell me, Nammu, what happened down there? You where simply put in charge for a day and you ruined everything, like you always do, I know that this is Aplahanda's doing, I can smell it, but You Nammu, your duty is to keep us safe...
Ur-Nammu Interrupted him, "do well to hold your tongue, my duty was to protect you from the outside, but your attack came from the inside, that was your flaw!
Gilgamesh, never in your life, speak to me in such a way, you have no idea what I have been through, you have no idea the mockery I have faced to be here, trying to take your place, I have no desire to lead anyone anymore."
Gilgamesh replied, "it is your thing isn't it? To threaten and make war with people, this is why I was chosen as Sakkanakku over Sparta in your stead, I am Sakkanakku!!... I...Not you!, you owe me my respect, with all your greatness, you took our men to die...
Ur-Nammu in deep rage and regret, flooding his soul, his eyes could not keep him any longer, draws his blade, swiftly and quickly putting Gilgamesh Sakkanakku down to the ground, raising attention for people to begin looking, Gilgamesh stood no chance against Ur-Nammu, he is indeed the commander of the babel soldiers.
Ur-Nammu having his sword to Gilgamesh neck, open his mouth and said, "do you know why you will never have fame? It is because you don't know what it means to sacrifice yourself.
you have no idea what happened that day, and you are not worthy of knowing, but remember this, Gilgamesh, poets will not sing about you, because you are becoming mad, and madness is given to those that do not know their path, find the right way quickly or you will die in madness."
Ur-Nammu quietly walks away, leaving Gilgamesh to sob and cry like he has seen a love one die, his shame has finally caught up with him, people looking at him, it became as though he has proved to them that he is guilty of treason.
