As if the place was not strange enough in its own nature, the King’s wish had made it worse.
Towering above the perpetual sunset, a single mirrored gold skyscraper had been risen. The orange sunlight reflected against it only accentuated the exquisite color of Archer’s arrogance.
The tower itself perfectly melded with the uncanny atmosphere of the Sunset Circuit, that place where time was irrelevant.
The address provided in the map was a glowing pinpoint that led to the extravagant reception. The decoration’s radiance would greet the young master as soon as she crossed the main gate, the blinding splendor greeted her.
But there was something even stranger in those walls, the building itself, even if new, felt as if it had been built years ago. Typical from the last decade of the previous century, just like the days when Gilgamesh had been reincarnated and walked amidst men.
A massive statue of Enkidu stood in the center of the main hallway. They marked the earth where they belonged, while a matching one of Gilgamesh adorned the rooftop. The gaudy amount of luxury and grandeur clearly evidenced the ‘King’s tastes’.
A finely dressed attendant, one he had chosen to resemble his loyal Siduri had been appointed to receive the guest and lead her into the upper floor where the ‘throneroom’ was.
The elevator had a beautiful view oft the Moon Bay where the tides burst into multicolored ripples.
