&lt;p&gt;After 2 years.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gil and Enkidu continued to go to school and both of them were acing every single test and every subject they took and were considered the top students on all of Babylon.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the end of the year when summer break came in both of the boys were happy to spend time together playing .
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gil was talking to Enki about how he had never seen his home in the Anu temple and  so they both decided to go their to take a look and give Gil a tour in the place.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While on their way to the temple they entered a woods called the forgotten forest and a random subject appeared in Gil’s mind but he felt as if he had to ask Enkidu about his parents!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Hey Enki, you know we’ve been living together for a few years and I’ve been taking you for granted. I never really tried to understand your past or anything like that so that’s what I’m going to do now. Can you tell me about your parents?! I’ve never even heard you mention them before in the last 2 years.” 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki looked at the ground with a gloomy face. Gil looked at him and it felt as if Enki had been carrying all of the ocean in his eyes. It was a flood waiting to break out. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gil placed his hands on Enki’s shoulder and patted him on the back. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“You don’t have to say it right now if you can’t. I understand what you’re going through and I’m always here whenever you’ll need me okay ?!”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki looked at Gil with tears Running down his face like a waterfall. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“stupid me how old do I have to be to stop crying. I need to be ashamed of myself” Enki muttered to himself.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gil tightened the hand that was on Enki’s shoulder and pulled him closer to him. Gil gave Enki a hug as he consulted him and made him feel better.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“You can always cry Enki don’t worry about a thing. There is no such thing as an age where when you reach it you must stop crying.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ says you, what a conceited thing to say Gil. You’ve never cried once since I’ve met you till this day.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ even I had my days when I did cry, But not anymore. There isn’t such thing that’s able to make me cry now!”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ You’re right, you’re right. Well it’s time to let go of the past and move on to the future.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Enki while wiping his tears off of his face.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Both me and my parents used to live in the suburbs of Babylon. It was a place where all the scum of the earth would flock into.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ I had a kind and loving mother who raised me as best as she could even though she struggled with her life. On the other hand I had a cunt of a father that would frequently come to beat me and my mother after he would come home drunk.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“me and my mum lived a hard yet happy life. Even though my dad would still beat me and mom she always clung into him and said things like “ I’m sure he’s going to change one day “ but those days didn’t come. “
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ One day me and my mum were having our normal dinner which was basically an old sardine can and 1 loaf of bread, when my dad barged in on us clearly drunk to the brim. My mum knew that he was going to do something stupid so she hid me behind her back.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“My dad came at us saying something on the lines of “ it was you ain’t it you fucking cunt. You were the one who told them about me borrowing money “
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His eyes were blood shot from all of the liquor he had been drinking.  He was holding a bottle of rum in his hands and he fell on the floor and broke it. He got up from the floor while barely being able to walk and looked at the broken bottle in his hands.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ You fucker you snitched on me at first and now you took away my rum!!” said Enki’s dad in rage.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ he came running at me at the time trying to stab me with the bottle. He was only 2 inches close to my abdomen at the time. And unfortunately my dumb mother sacrificed herself to save me! She pushed me into the ground and while doing so she couldn’t protect herself from the bottle. He then ended up stabbing her in the neck which killed her instantly.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Enki with a trembling voice while looking down at the ground.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ I was 4 at the time. I couldn’t do anything to hurt my father and I was scared. I knew what would happen to me if I were to stay with my father but I couldn’t leave my mother’s side. I was scared and trembling at the time so my legs wouldn’t move even if I wanted to.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ eventually I ended up staying with my father for one more year. And I knew that nothing good would come to me if I stayed with him and I was right. My father was incompetent and was in need of cash. At the time he had heard that the temple of Anu were looking for a kid with brown eyes and hair, the kid was told to be in a prophecy. In the prophecy the kid would have a very big part in killing the god of the sky Anu. The followers of Anu didn’t want to take any chances so they were spread in a manhunt to find the child.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ coincidentally I also had brown hair and eyes so my father found that as a shot for him to hand me over to the followers of Anu in order to grab a quick buck so he can spend it on gambling and liquor.” 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ one day on a night filled roaring thunder when I was about 6 my father took me outside of the suburbs and into the city under the bridge. There was a man with green hair and blue eyes waiting for us there.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Here’s the kid as we agreed. Now hand me over the money”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said Enki’s father.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ yes yes here. And now scram I don’t want to see your face again” said the man with green hair.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Cheep fucking bastard this is 5 Less than the original amount”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Muttered Enki’s father.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ well well well isn’t this the foretold kid that would bring destruction to the world! Looking at you now you look so innocent who would think that you would grow up to be such a monster. Hahahahhahahahahha”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said the guy with green hair while laughing.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki continued his story and said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ I was scared at the time and I couldn’t even move a muscle during that time. I looked to my left and there was a black man in a cloak that looked at me without saying anything. He didn’t look like he was with the guy in green so I tried to ask him for help. I tried to move my hand but then the guy in green hair noticed.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“heh so you’re looking for help huh?!  Hahahaha I thought you were smarter that that. Well then let’s take a look at your supposed SAVIOUR. Hahahahha”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The guy in green hair went ahead to the guy in the cloak and asked him a few questions.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ hey there you dipshit. Are you trying to obstruct the works of the great god Anu!! This kid is an evil demon so take your shit filled ass from here and go back to whatever kind of gutter that you came from.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Said the green haired guy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki looked at the guy in the cloak with tears Running down his eyes. He couldn’t even ask the man for help since he knew that if he did the man would then get called a heathen and be killed on the spot.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The black man in the cloak looked at Enki and he had a big comforting smile on his face that said “don’t worry about a thing. “
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He then said to Enki
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ hey kid, if you’re having some troubles why don’t you pray for the divine triad. I’m pretty sure they’ll answer your calls.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At first Enki was confused since this was the first time he has heard of the divine triad. In fact the divine triad wasn’t some band of unknown god’s but in reality the 3 most powerful god’s in Mesopotamia. Containing ( Anu , Enki , Enlil)
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki didn’t care to whom he prayed he just wanted to get out of this situation so he got his hands together and prayed. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Please dear gods the divine triad, whoever you are. Please save me from this mad situation.” 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then all of a sudden the thundering sky seemed to have enough of it and it send a thunder bolt straight at the green haired guy killing him in the same second!!!!!!.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki was scared of the thunder that has just appeared before him but to his surprise the green haired guy was dead and Enki was freed!!!!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki looked at the black guy in the cloak and thanked him. But in return the cloaked man didn’t say anything back he just winked at him.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki took off running to flee the place and get away with his life. But what Enki didn’t see while running that the sky had actually calmed down for a second and a man had descended from the heavens and right next to the guy in the cloak!!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ seriously Enlil ?! Again ? This is the 4th time this millennia that you’ve used our power to save mere mortals.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Yeah yeah Enki stay as grumpy as ever. I just found it amusing seeing those who claim that they follow father to be tormented like this. Ah~ only if father was here with us instead of running off that day he’d just smite that crazy cult that’s forming right now to the ground.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ exactly Enlil! ANU HAS RUN AWAY AND ABANDONED US. No matter how much you defend him you can’t always expect me to go along with you. Time is running short and this millennia is coming to an end soon, and if father doesn’t come back the divine triad is going to be called the divine duo instead.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ come on now Enki I know you like father the same amount as me and you’re just worried about him so don’t go around doing this charade all over again. I’ve already heard this 20 times this year alone” 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enkidu then continued to run and run and run untill he reached the middle of the woods where he found the temple of Anu. And he then thought to himself how a great of a hiding place this was. Since nobody would suspect a runaway to hide in their own house!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enkidu then finished the story as they reached his home at the Anu temple.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;When they reached the place Gil was complementing how good it looked and Enki went ahead and showed him the inside and outside of the place. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;“ hey Gil did you know that when I first discovered this place it was completely abandoned! It was filled with moss and insects all over. You’d think since this was the temple of Anu he would keep it insect free but I guess Anu didn’t amount to anything in the end haha”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Wow but what I’m looking at right now is a very beautiful place. It’s filled with plantation and wind chimes. How did you get it to look like this?”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Well I did end up breaking a lot of stuff to remodel this place. I also grabbed the wind chimes from nearby temples since I wasn’t going to buy them haha”   
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Hey what did mom and I tell you ! Stealing is bad so don’t dare do it again”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Haha yeah it was before I even met you and Clara so I stopped now. Well.... There has been one place that I’ve never brought upon myself to destroy or remodel. Here let me show you”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki grabbed Gil’s hand and led him to the holy worshiping room. It was the place where the followers of Anu would come to worship him when the place was actually filled with people. In the middle of the room was a statue of the all powerful Anu. The god of the sky where he and his 2 sons would complete the Divine triad personifying the three bands of constellations of the vault of the sky.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When Enki and Gil entered the room they both felt the feeling of the mystical energy floating around in the air.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki was very happy to show Gil this place since he thought he would absolutely love it but when Enkidu  looked at Gil he had a different reaction on his face.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gil had a horrified look on his face. He started walking back and then he stumbled and fell. The look on his face was so distraught, he didn’t know what to feel at the time so he just started screaming louder and louder.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Enki was startled by this reaction since he thought that Gil would love this place, he then went ahead to the ground where Gil was to try and help him see what’s wrong. Gil kept screaming on and on untill he couldn’t anymore. The screams then turned into tears. And Enki looked at him and he knew that Gil... No he knew that his brother was feeling a great deal of pain. Enki grabbed Gil’s head and placed it on his lap and said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ nothing as of now can make you cry my ass. But don’t worry I’m here for you. Just like you helped me I’m going to help you as well brother.”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Even though Enki didn’t know what was going on with Gil he waited for him to finish crying without asking him anything. After he let it all out and went to sleep Enki took Gil and put him on his bed and slept next to him that night.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both of the boys spent the night there in the temple and in the morning Enkidu woke up to Gil looking at the wall with a blank face.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ Hey are you okay Gil ? You were screaming and crying like crazy yesterday. I hope you’re okay..”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Gil then started to laugh uncontrollably. He put his hands on his face as he was laughing. He looked at Enki and said 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ come, I’m going to show you something”
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Gil then took Enki back to the holy room and pointed at the statue of Anu and said.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;“ see that right there ? THATS MY FUCKING FATHER!!” 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;
