Gilgamesh And The Quest For Immortality

Plot Thousands of years ago when the gods walked the earth, they fought wars amongst themselves for the throne of the earth. And before the new King of the gods was crowned, rose a new hero among the people, his name was Gilgamesh. The son of the half-god Lugalbanda and the goddess Ninsun. Gilgamesh was raised to become the King of Uruk but his destiny was threatened when a prophesy was revealed to the goddess Innana that she would be the goddess of the four corners of the world as long as the seed of Lugalbanda does not get to live. Gilgamesh survived the assassination and lived to take the throne of his father. Being two thirds god, Gilgamesh worried about the possibility of death and wanted to live forever like the gods to a point he decided to journey to Nibiru to attain immortality. And it was on this quest that he crossed paths with the goddess Innana, battled monsters and bulls of heaven. After numerous victories, angering the gods in the process, Gilgamesh was denied immortality. After his friend Enkidu dies, Gilgameshs immortality quest was renewed and he journeyed to the Sinai Peninsula in search of the tree of Life. There he met Utnapishtim, the hero of the deluge. And Gilgamesh finally learnt that Immortality was granted and not taken by strength. One had to become a great hero recognized by the gods to become immortal. With a renewed hope, Gilgamesh undertakes to be a great hero of the people, taking on The Seven destruction gods and their Lord, the Leviathan. Will Gilgamesh be granted immortality after he becomes the greatest hero of the earth?

Friendship and Fiascos

I wake up with the sun beating down on my face, and sweat dripping from my neck down my spine, I turn over to look at my alarm clock and it’s … it’s not there, this isn’t my room… but wait it is . I quickly get up from my bed and rushed out of my room to go check for my best friend who I was living with at the time . “Jerald !!! Jerald !!! What’s going on, did you move my things ?” But my mum answered instead “ who is Jerald??? You woke up late and now you’re trying to bring the whole house down, go shower or you’ll be very late for school, you better hurry or I’m throwing you and your bag out at 7:40 “ my mum said as she walked away to the kitchen. I was shocked, I didn’t understand what was going on, I moved from my mums house two years ago, I’m currently leaving in a Condo in LA with best Friend from high school … this isn’t LA… or maybe I’m still asleep? . I walk to my old bathroom to go wash my face. I turned the tap on and splashed some water on it, then I grabbed the towel next to the door and look at the mirror in front of me … I screamed !!! “Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh” why do I look 14???? I’m 21 …. I felt dizzy, but i could hear my mum yelling from the kitchen “stop shouting and just kill the spider, it can’t kill you” my mum said thinking I saw a bug, how is she sure it’s not poisonous … typical African parent, but wait … what is happening to me ? Did I go back in time ?
