"So it really is Ishtar" said Enkidu with a nod.
The next mont Ishtar ca out from inside the hole in the wall with an angry expression.
"Damned if you're alive I'll kill you" said Ishtar before increasing her divine aura with Enkidu doing the sa thing.
In a mont when they were about to face each other chains appeared from golden ripples around them binding them and sealing their divinities.
Both n's eyes widened at this and they turned their gaze to Gilgash.
They regretted their decision in the sa instant as Gilgash was looking at them with his crimson eyes glowing in power making them both swallow dry.
"Ishtar if you try anything with Enkidu I will make sure to kill you and I don't mind going to war with the Surian Pantheon" Gilgash said to Ishtar who nodded quickly, Gilgash turned his gaze to Enkidu, "Calm down"
Gilgash knew that his friend was angry with Ishtar and disliked the Goddess because of the things she had done.
They both nodded and Gilgash undid his chains and Ishtar sat down beside his sister and Enkidu stood behind Gilgash alert.
"I will not ask how he is here, for you would surely not reveal" said Ereshkigal to Gilgash who nodded.
"Then what was the reason for the visit?" asked Gilgash.
"We have a proposal for you, from our father" spoke Ereshkigal calmly.
Gilgash raised an eyebrow in doubt.
"He would like to invite you to join our Faction" Ereshkigal said to him, though personally she didn't think he would accept.
"And refusing is not an option..." any speech Ishtar spoke died in her throat as she looked at Enkidu who was standing behind Gilgash.
The Weapon of the Gods had a serious look on his face with a smile so gentle it seed cruel as Enkidu's chains began to appear at his side as he made a beheading sign as if Ishtar had said the wrong thing.
Both the Goddess of War and the Goddess of Death, especially Ishtar were breaking into a cold sweat at this as they knew that Enkidu's power was greater than theirs.
Gilgash turned his gaze to Enkidu and saw his friend normal and smiling amiably.
He turned his gaze to Ishtar and asked:
"What had you said?" asked Gilgash.
"Nothing" said Ishtar quickly.
Gilgash turned his gaze to them and answered.
"I refuse your proposal" said Gilgash to Ishtar who was surprised, although Ereshkigal already seed to know that he would refuse.
"Why?" asked Ishtar as she stood up.
"I honestly have no interest in allying myself with anyone" said Gilgash to the two.
Before Ishtar proclaid another word Ereshkigal spoke.
"Leave Ishtar, he has his decision and we must respect it. And honestly his refusal was almost certain, I'm sure father will understand" Ereshkigal said to Ishtar who looked at her.
"I am surprised you want so badly in your Faction, what did they give you to do that?" asked Gilgash curious.
"What makes you think soone paid to do that?" asked Ishtar offended.
"For you only do things when soone gives you sothing in return" said Ereshkigal seriously to Ishtar who snorted.
Everyone was silent for a few seconds Ishtar spoke up.
"He offered jewelry, satisfied?" said Ishtar to everyone who rolled their eyes.
Gilgash turned his gaze to Ereshkigal who understood.
"My father asked and so I did, and it is also a good way to see the real world after centuries" said Ereshkigal with a small, sad smile.
Ishtar rolled her eyes while Gilgash and Enkidu took pity on the Goddess of the Underworld.
As Queen of Kur, Ereshkigal needed to take care of it always and that's why she lived there, she lived in the underworld since she was born being forbidden to leave.
In this universe she could leave but only in rare monts.
"Then let's settle this so we won't say they went empty-handed," Gilgash said to the two who looked at him in doubt.
Gilgash snapped his fingers and next to Ishtar a portal appeared from which erged a large pile of gold and jewels.
These were not the original treasure of the [Gate of Babylon] but so of the treasure that Gilgash had collected during his ti of travel, these belonged to the collection of a Dragon that Gilgash had found and killed, they were only part of the treasure.
The mont Ishtar's eyes fell on the treasure her body seed to vibrate at the sight of it.
"W-what's that for?" asked Ishtar trying to keep from stuttering.
"You can keep them Ishtar for a taste I don't want any fights with your Pantheon" said Gilgash causing Ishtar's eyes to glaze over.
He was buying a Goddess to the perplexity of Ereshkigal and Enkidu.
Ishtar simply loved jewels more than anything and was willing to do anything for them, however she lacked the [Golden Rule] skill and therefore had no luck obtaining them.
And now that her Pantheon wasn't as worshipped as it once was she didn't have as many jewels as she used to.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" said Ishtar as she threw herself into the treasures.
Gilgash turned his gaze to Ereshkigal who nodded negatively.
"I don't want jewelry" she said however Gilgash smiled.
"I will give you sothing better" Gilgash said to her.
Gilgash put his two hands together and created a great amount of aura making everyone's eyes widen at the feeling of such power.
Gilgash passed the ssage of what he wanted to do to Arashi.
{Well, this is sothing complicated even for , but if you put in a little of the power of the golden sword, it might work," said Arashi.
When all Gilgash's aura and concentration dissipated he opened his hand and a small green seed was revealed there.
Gilgash held it out to Ereshkigal.
"When you arrive in Kur plant it" Gilgash said softly.
Ereshkigal looked in doubt before speaking.
"Nothing will be born, no kind of life can exist in Kur and therefore she would die the mont I put her in the ground" said Ereshkigal as he inford him.
"Trust " said Gilgash to Ereshkigal.
The Goddess of the Underworld looked at him for a mont before nodding.
Ereshkigal took the seed and stored it in his clothes before turning to Ishtar.
"Let's go. It's about ti Father must be worried" Ereshkigal said to his sister who nodded.
Ishtar used her magic to put away all her jewelry and turned to Ereshkigal who created a teleportation circle.
"We will transmit your answer" Ereshkigal said before she and her sister disappeared.
After that Gilgash leaned back on the couch and sighed.
"I am surprised that you gave her things" said Enkidu as he sat down next to Gilgash.
"The world has its mysteries" said Gilgash.
Gilgash had given the treasure to Ishtar to see if the Goddess would stop bothering him, for surely she would co back to bother him because she thought she was superior because she was a goddess.
For Ereshkigal, on the other hand, it was more personal.
Ereshkigal is one of Gilgash's favorite characters, and even though she is in a universe other than Fate's, that doesn't change.
So he was happy if he could help her.
The tranquility if Gilgash and Enkidu was cut short by Mordred who almost burst through the door when she and everyone else returned.
Gilgash smiled as he saw everyone laughing and enjoying themselves again.
