Dragon Story Episodes
The King of Light
In the south of Grastaea, there is not
a soul alive who does not know well
the legend of the king of kings—
the legend of Gilgamesh.
He was a dragon from the distant
past; a king who ruled the capital,
wielding great power and consuming
all with his glorious appetites.
However, there was a barrier to his
having all he desired: his nemesis,
Enkidu.
Gilgamesh confronted his enemy
time and again in an effort to force
him to yield.
As their life-threatening clashes
continued apace, a strange sort
of friendship eventually formed.
Soon they were close as brothers.
Now Gilgamesh TRULY hungered for
all life had to offer. The two traveled
the world on great adventures,
defeating fiends, and acquiring
power to surpass even the gods.
So long as Gilgamesh and Enkidu
were together, neither one knew fear.
Instead, they laughed and swore to
conquer the world for themselves.
The pair believed their future was
o'erflowing with light. And yet,
something finally occurred which
left them separated.
For one day, Gilgamesh's one
and only friend, Enkidu, died.
Gilgamesh cut a way through the
royal road with a blade of light and
created a path of radiance, yet
even his great power could not
overcome the cold of the grave.
His heart crushed, Gilgamesh fell into
darkness. Without his only friend,
his ambitions waned, and he could
not see the point in anything.
His world—once filled with light—
became as the darkest night,
and he stayed in this darkness
for age upon age.
Having lost all hope, King Gilgamesh
fell into darkness, staying there for
ages uncountable. And while therein,
he heard the whisper of many voices.
...Voices?
They were the voices of the people.
Though reluctant to move a muscle,
Gilgamesh opened his eyes, and
discovered the world still overflowed
with light as it always had.
Having lost all faith in this world,
he had turned his eyes from reality.
But the world still gazed at the
unparalleled king with hope in its
eyes.
For this, too, was a part of his fate.
The radiant road Gilgamesh had to
walk continued far into the distance,
and he yearned for his late friend
while gazing at the light before him.
Their struggles... Their laughter...
Their very future itself...
It would never be found in the dark.
Instead, it existed only before his
eyes, as radiant as the dawn.
At last, Gilgamesh realized the soul
of his fallen friend was not to be
found in the darkness. Instead,
he would only find it in the world
of brilliant light.
Enkidu's soul lived on in the ideals
they created together, and so
Gilgamesh no longer had any
reason to look away.
He would move toward a future of
endless light and embrace the past.
For when Gilgamesh took up his
sword, the world was once again
filled with hope and joy.
From that point, Gilgamesh moved
ever forward, and tales of his deeds
became legends that are even now
passed down throughout southern
Grastaea.
