King of Uruk

Kneel down in front of your one and only king, mongrels, and glorify my divinity, and I shall let you live. [Independent RPblog for Gilgamesh from the Fate-Series Tracking: goldenxdownfall]

[ H] er first answer is… 

…she does not have one.

Yet the second after, as if in response to this golden man’s question, an upsurging of memories floods her mind; yet the moment she tastes of them but for a moment, they melt into puddles of nothingness in her heart, leaving naught but a single name. With a slight intake of air, she attempts and fails to fathom how this can be; how only what she is called could be recalled. She remembers, fleetingly, snow drifting wearily to rest upon pavement, a grateful bite into a warm loaf of bread; yet there are no faces to long for, no people to miss. And thus she is suddenly tempted to sink to her knees in despair, and give in to… What?

Nay, she will not yet allow herself to end. Not here, not now; she’s still a story to tell.

And thus she lifts her head, with eyes brown and bold that speak proudly of an indomitable, an unconquerable spirit, and she gives those crimson pools her name.

"…my name… Is Hakuno. Hakuno Kishinam [i ].”

[ ♠ ] This innocent looking girl needed a moment, so it seemed. She seemed to be somewhere else with her name. He gave her a moment. After all, he had no other choice, to be quite honest with himself. He was bounded to a human. Of course, he could find other ones, but still, it was better starting with the first one.

She was pretty, he had to admit. Not special, but average. Still, she was good looking. Also, there was some kind of strength within her, a struggle ought  to be won, apparently. "And you are supposed to be my master, little girl." She was smaller than him. So little fit. Then again - who wasn't smaller than him? Although, in addition, she had told him her name, he didn't need to call her by that necessarily. Her name sounded strange, but in the future world things had changed. The names did, too. [ ♠ ]

[unholybloodshed2-1]

"It all depends on what you wish to see…" The priest said as he walked over towards the trash can that sat beside the door. He knew what he was stepping onto dangerous grounds when telling the spirit what to do. But it didn’t really matter much to him, he had no time to keep refilling the wine if it would all be gone within a week or a month it was almost like he was tending to a child a lazy drunk child. "It’s either that or an empty wine cabinet?"

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♥ ] And that was another problem. He didn't know what exactly he wanted to see. He just knew, it should be exciting enough to catch and keep attention. Also, he didn't know everything about the human world. He didn't know where to go to have some fun, to watch something interesting. But Kirei was a human, he should at least have some basic knowledge. "Well, what would you deem interesting in bthe human world" he frowned. No. Wrong question. The priest wasn't interested in anything it seemed. "What are humans usually interested in these times?", he asked and leaned back.

The wine was another topic though. He norrowed his eyes. "Replace the wine, mongrel. A king of my standart doesn't have to replace anything...!" [ ♠ ]

[goldenxdownfall]

"Rest your mind, my child."

[ ♠ ] Gilgamesh always had wondered, how his mother knew. He had observed it often that mothers had a sixth sense, ane it was impossible to him to grasp it. Anyway, his mother knew that something was botherin him, she always knew how to approach him, when no one else was allowed to come closer.

"Mother", he raised his head, stood up and wrapped his arms around here for a hug. She was stunning and beautiful as ever, not affected by the years that had passed. Although she was tall for a woman, he was taller. Lugalbanda's genes, she always said. His father....the king realized he didn't know much about the former king. Letting go and laying down on the grass of the garden, he gazed up to her. "Mother? Tell me more about you and father. I mean, how did you meet? How was he?" [ ♠ ]

[xuncrowned-deactivated20160125]

"Are you pregnant?"

「 ♔ 」             “Not everyone ends up in bed with whatever can spread its legs.”                        Certainly respect was lost those years she stayed with her dad.

[xuncrowned-deactivated20160125]

「 ♔ 」            “And I decided to save myself for someone worthy. I walked too                        often into your room while… you’ve done it.” Of course Enkidu                        and Ninsun had helped her developing some sass. “Honestly                                                  father, you are part-god. You’ll become so old, just get used to                         being called grandfather or old man.”

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] Gilgamesh nodded and crossed his arms. "That's a splendid way to think. I did the same, back then, in my youth", and then he had enjoyed the joys of bedding and was tainted. Sometimes Gilgamesh wondered, when his daughter had became this disrespectful to him. But it was better than being treated as a complete stranger. As long as she didn't treat him disrespectful in front of everyone, he could bare with that kind of behaviour.

"It's not that I couldn't live with being called like that", he rubbed the back of his head and laughed a little. "It's like...I don't want to lose my little girl to someone else", or seeing her growing up. It seemed as if it were yesterday when Anise had appeared with Alibaba. Anise certainly would be proud of her daughter. [ ♠ ]

[unholybloodshed2-1]

The priest looked at the golden Archer he merely stared at him, listening to him complain which became a usual thing for him to hear. He raised a slight brow before ,making his way over and picking up the wine bottles. “Then I would suggest that you go f8nd something that you would deem interesting..don’t you think?” Kotomine asked before he let out a low and tiresome sigh. “And you will also need to re-stalk the wine that you emptied…” That was the suggestion but he got the feeling that what he said has either gone unheard or would be seen as an insult.

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] At least Kirei was a proper worker - he didn't even needed to be told to pick up the trash. He did in on his own. His words though...He needed to learn how to treat him with proper respect.  Gilgamesh leaned forward, placed his ellbows on the knees. "What you'd recommend to see? Humans seem to be interesting, but at some point they get boring." Glaring at the priest and piercing him with red eyes, Gilgamesh smirked dangerously. "I won't do anything of this kind. Do not forget your place, mongrel", the king spoke calmly. [ ♠ ]

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] He had slept for a long time, diving in fears, wishes and dreams. He saw his one and only friend dying over and over again, he saw himself failing at gaining immortality, he saw himself resting in peace. Just to see it all over again. He was tired of it, sick of it already. He wanted it to stop. He just wanted to hold his best friend and brother in his arm. Of course, death would come to everyone - eventually. But some things were just nor fair. Every time he dreamt he felt the hatred that brought him misfortune. He waited. The king waited for someone who'd call him, to bring this to an end.

And so it happened.

Something dragged him up, right into the sky. He fell upwards through a hole. Something shifted. And the king of heroes gazed at a young brunette woman. He crossed his arms, raised his head a little. "As divine king I order you to tell me your name!", he commanded. Who was the servant again? Apparently not him, judging by his words. [ ♠ ]

[alembroth-deactivated20150518]

It was peaceful for the moment at least. While life with the king of conquerors was never dull it was in fact noisy, and messy and more often than not his jubilant servant felt like he didn’t quite fit in the room. It was as if something could burst at the seams at any moment and it was exhausting. So when Rider had suggested that Waver run this little errand on his own he hadn’t taken much convincing. 

What a mistake that had been. The sound of the golden servant’s voice ran down his spine like an icy fingertip. Reflexively the mage gripped the back of his hand containing his command seals. As if the act of doing so could will Rider into appearing. He wanted to run, far away and fast; from the war, from this gilded king and all the ways Waver knew he could hurt him, from this strange city and everything else. But it wouldn’t have done him any good and the knowledge of that fact kept the boy rooted to the spot. He could only hope it made him look brave and in control like the great mages he aspired to be like.  

"I . . I don’t think I believe in coincidences anymore." 

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] Gilgamesh laughed when he gazed at the young boy. Ah, how naive he was. Just as naive as he himself had been as a youngster. He knew, of course, that Waver was intimidated and tried to act brave. This was something he had to compliment on him - too many despictable humans tend to flee. Waver Welvet though, he had at least a little guts to stay although he was afraif. That was courage.

Not showing up in armor, but in casual clothing he walked down the few stairs. "This time it's really coincidence, mongrel", he spoke, hands in his pockets. "I was just going out for a walk. As if I were interested in following you around." [ ♠ ]

[xuncrowned-deactivated20160125]

"Are you pregnant?"

「 ♔ 」             “Not everyone ends up in bed with whatever can spread its legs.”                        Certainly respect was lost those years she stayed with her dad.

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] That definitely hit. When had his daughter had learned to treat him less respectful? Had it been Enkidu?  "I just wanted to know. You can do whatever you want, for you can make such decisions yourself. Well...Anyway. Just, please be careful." [ ♠ ]

Send me ≋ to share a bath with my muse

「 ♔ 」    “Fath—-My Lor—-King Gilgamesh!” The child just had been sitting next to the huge pool, letting her legs into the water when the demigod entered the bath. Quickly she jumped up, trying to greet him properly when her little feet slipped over the wet floor and the golden child fell into the water. Luckily she could swim  - it was just embarrassing that it happened in front of her father.

[xuncrowned-deactivated20160125]

「 ♔ 」      “A—-at least? It should be less… I’m not comparable to you, father or…or to my brother. I’m just… just Alibaba.” She never asked to be a princess, to be royal. She just wanted her mother to be fine. Besides her strength she was nothing special - she had watched her half-brother who had been raised as a prince all his life. She was not like him… at all.

For once the child did not flinch away and allowed the king to touch her. It was strangely comforting and her head quickly forgot that he was the king and a demigod. “Is it….is it my fault? Did I do something to Mom?” She asked before starting to cry. The blond wrapped her little arms around her father, shaking from the tears and fear. “Please! Please help her… somehow…”

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] "Things nowadays are decided by the status of birth. Who are the parents, and are you the first to be born or not? Are you male or female? One could say, that most things in the world aren't changeable, and that is the heritage you are born with", the golden king explained calmly. "People usually treat you different depending on your status. Your status is clear now: You are a princess", a slight smile crossed his face. "Of course that doesn't mean everything has to change." He already liked the girl. Of course, getting to know that he had a daughter, had been quite surprising, but she was smart, and he already liked her. Not to mention that he had some kind of responsibility now. "Don't worry about comparisons, Alibaba, for every human is unique." Well, they were unique - but most of them were actually quite boring.

Alibaba didn't flinch, but hugged him with her tiny arms. Gilgamesh was serious, he carefully and softly stroke her back and patted her head. "It's not your fault, Alibaba. You didn't do anything wrong. You're probably the best that could have happened to her", he spoke very softly. "And as much as I wish I could help her, I am powerless here", his voice cracked at the end. Only a little. He couldn't show weakness in front of her. [ ♠ ]

[goldenxdownfall]

With just two drafts the secretary worked off a little. Still, the king demands more work for her, so please like this post, if you want the secretary to write a starter in the name of the king, or even plot with him.

   A chill runs up the woman’s spine as someone abruptly jumps in front of her. Although they came from the top of a wall, their landing was graceful and gave an impression reminiscent of a cat’s movements with how effortless the sequence was. The one in question appeared to be a blonde man much taller than herself and with striking features she was certain she’d seen before. Yet another chill runs through her when he speaks and faces her, confirming his identity. 

“ Archer— ”

How could she forget? The insanely powerful Servant who’d not only made his prowess known at every turn but made advances on her dear friend as well. What could he possibly want from her? Her guard rises at the uncertainty and Irisviel releases a breath she didn’t know she was holding before replying.

“ Indeed, it has been a while. What are you doing out here, at this time? ”

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] From close distance she actually looked really stunning. Back in his time people would have either casted her away or made her a priestess or more. He knew that the best: The most unusual people usually got attention, and depending on the situation, it could get worse or better. Such hair in combination was seldem among humans, but Irisviel wasn't a human herself - the king of heroes sensed that. She was the vessel of the grail - this he couldn't kill her, even if he felt like it. She needed to stay alive until the end.

Archer. He still wasn't used to that title, though he had heard it often enough. She seemed to be surprised. "Going out for a walk, enjoying the fresh air and watching the humans. The world had changed a lot since my era. What about you?" ] ♠ ]

Once the king got up he lowered his head a bit in respect only to look back up once he spoke once more. He barely contained a chuckle as the king spoke this way of humans. He himself had left the path of being mortal long ago. So the oath this king was talking about did not apply to him. But he would let the king think that for as long as he wanted. He after all was from a whole other universe and did not come here just to play knight.

“That is correct.”he said. Ļ̜̺̖͇͈̗͍i҉̯͍a̱̱̞̱͍ͅr. his amethyst colored eyes looking directly at the king. 

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] "Well, I have soldiers fighting for me, but never had I had a knight in my household. To be honest, I don't exactly see the necessity of using you - As the king of heroes I am gifted with great power, thus I am perfectly fine fighting on my own", and the thought of his one and only friend, Enkidu, pierced his heart. It felt a little like betrayal even considering this man as a proper knight into his household. "Give me a reason, why I should give you permission to serve me, the one and only king", Gilgamesh demanded to know. Meanwhile he stepped up to his throne again, leaning back and gazing at him, watching every step and gesture. [ ♠ ]

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] Gilgamesh smiled, when he saw the smaller figure. He knew this face quite well, it was one of the masters during this war. Rider's master. It was evening, the sun would go down soon. After that he'd have the possibility to get rid of this one, but somehow, he didn't feel like it. The king of heroes felt like watching how far they'd get. It was way more amusing to duel with another servant than with a master. Though Kirei and Tokiomi probably would suggest taking this chance - but who was he to listen to them?

The servant watched his surrounding. No Rider. Wherever he was, he had left his master on his own for a moment. What a careless one, or maybe he trusted this young magician. Gilgamesh chuckled and got up, facing Waver Welvet the next moment. "What a coincidence, mongrel, don't you think?" [ ♠ ]

Luckily she could swim  - it was just embarrassing that it happened in front of her father.

[xuncrowned-deactivated20160125]

「 ♔ 」    The girl flinched lightly at the kings words, not sure how to react. He was more of a lord to her than a father. But maybe that was due to the fact that they barely spend time together. “Yes, my lord father.” She mumbled, bowing down again. “I… how am I a princess?” Not that it mattered, she was not his oldest child. It would not be her task to follow on the throne.

Smart. Right now she wished she were dumb believing her mother would survive no matter what.  But she knew that her mother was sick. “Thank you for your honesty, father.” The girl tried to sound strong but her voice quickly cracked and even when she tried to stop herself… it didn’t work and tears rolled down her cheeks. “Y—you are a god! Can’t you do anything to help her?!”

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] Lord father? Well that sounded even worse. They sure needed to work on that one. But some things needed to develop slowly. Even he hadn't behaved like a king should within a day. Maybe someday, she would stop exaggerating her respect. "Well, you are my daughter. Thus, you are a princess. Nothing will ever change this fact. People have to treat you with at least the same respect they treat me with. You are a royal yourself now", Gilgamesh explained patient. He remembered his past days, where he had gotten to know he was the heir to the throne. Difficult had it been to deal with the praisings others had treated him with. People he had considered friends now no longer were friends or had betrayed him

The next moment she called him father. A slight smile flushed through his face, disappeared immedietaly. It was a serious topic, and he wouldn't make fun of any of this. Gilgamesh came closer to the girl, raised his hand. Slowly his fingers, formed by his early work as a gardener, wiped the tears away. "I apologize humbly, I can't. The only goddess being able to do this is probably Ereshkigal, and she makes no exceptions. Death, Alibaba, is something every human has to encounter. It's a dream we have to wake up from, just to fall asleep again.[ ♠ ]

[unholybloodshed2-1]

Was he kidding or merely half asleep? Either was he had little as to no time for the so called divine kings mess this morning. Though from the looks of it the priest could tell that he was gonna have to re-stalk the wine and pick up all the wine bottles that sat on the floor. He couldn’t help but to let out a soft sigh as he soon turned his attention back towards Archer. “…I don’t believe that I will need to introduce myself…again…”

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] Ah, it's just you", Gilgamesh rolled his eyes and crossed his arms in his neck. "Please tell me you have brought me something entertaining", the servant yawned. "It's pretty boring without anything interesting to do. " Seeing the priest wasn't that unusual, for they knew each other for a short while. Still, it would be quite nice if someone else appeared, two naked female dancers, for instance. 

Also, why was the wine gone again? Foolish humans, didn't know how to provide someone divine as him with proper goods. [ ♠ ]

[xuncrowned-deactivated20160125]

「 ♔ 」       “N—No I am fine, m’Lord” She mumbled and tried to get back to her little spot outside the water. Actually she had believed nobody would come here today - or not that soon. She had made sure to fulfill all her duties before coming here. She just wished to be alone for a while. Hugging her own knees the little girl watched the king - she still had troubles believing she was his daughter - she knew those stories about the tyrant that only could be tamed by the puppet of the gods. Yet he had been quite kind towards her. So maybe she was allowed to be honest? “…mother is going to die soon, right? She couldn’t leave her bed for five days already.”

[goldenxdownfall]

[ ♠ ] He had to insist on one thing. How could be allow his saughter to address him as a stranger or landlord? Well, he was king, true, but she was a princess, and she didn't need to call him 'Lord'. "Call me Father", he demanded from her, not asking. "You're a princess, it would be strange if you treat me as a foreign king", Gilgamesh explained.

He got deeper into the water, disappeared in them for a moment, just to get up. Being in thoughts, the king started washing himself. He felt naked without his gold, but taking gold into the water wasn't his style. He froze when Alibaba spoke, though, turned his head around to her, being serious. "You're a smart girl, Alibaba, and you deserve to know the truth, thus I won't lie to you to make you feel better", he explained slowly, lowering his head. "Yes. She is." [ ♠ ]
