'It's so boring being a baby, I can't do anything without help, heck I can't even Talk!'i grumbled as I bit the blanket to give me something to do and take my frustration out on.

"Gil why is the baby doing that?"

"I have no idea Enkidu, it's not like it can eat it"

'Oh and these two are here!' I bit even harder on the blanket

It seemed that Gilgamesh and Enkidu started coming here more often but really like once a week but then again Gilgamesh was a king so it made sense but when they would come here they would be surprised at I was still alive or calling me weird for something I'm doing.

'I'm not forcing you guys to come here! So why are you complaining like I am?!' I was just beyond frustrated and when Gilgamesh stuck his hand near to touch me, I immediately clamped my mouth on his finger to which he looked rather amused 

"Huh this baby actually bit me how amusing"Gilgamesh said with a terrifying smile

"Does that not hurt?" Enkidu asked somewhat concerned 

"No, who do you think I am to be hurt by this? Besides this child teeth aren't even in yet"his words were true my teeth weren't in yet so it's didn't really hurt but in the end Gilgamesh moved his finger out my mouth with no effort

"If this newborn baby can bite me now I wonder what she is capable of doing when older" and then Gilgamesh left the room and along with Enkidu in tow

'Anddd I'm alone again... but at least I some peace and quiet!'i said so I can cheer myself up but the thing was no one was ever really around except for a few maids that took care of me but they would clear out of the room as soon as Gilgamesh came in

And it's not like they want to be here, heck they don't even want to take care of me! But it was Gilgamesh orders and they couldn't defy him so it's not like they can do anything about it

'Either way... I'm getting tired and I should leave this place as soon as I'm old enough' I mentally thought to myself as allowed sleep to take ahold of me 

———————————————

'Ah man... what time is it...?" I woke groggily still feeling a bit sleepy, it was nighttime now and the moon shown clearly as it filtered through the silky white curtains.

I wanted to go back to sleep but something about this night gave me a bad feeling like something bad was going to happen and then I heard a small noise of a stone pebbles falling.

I turned my head to the direction of the noise and saw a man dressed in black holding a knife jumping from the window

'...eh? ... Is that an assassin?!'

"Killing a baby who is unprotected, what a joke this is" the man said with amusement in his voice as he made his way over to my crib 

'What!! Don't tell me I'm going to die again?! And by an assassin no less!' I was mentally crying over my own powerless while I'm going to be killed as a baby!

"Sorry little baby but it's time to die!" The man brought his dagger down towards and I squeezed my eyes shut

*pierce!*

Suddenly a squelching noise was heard and I heard a sort of vibrating noise so I opened my eyes to see a golden glow 

"Good job Enkidu though I could've done so myself" the familiar haughty voice caught my attention and I was glad to hear it

"It was nothing Gilgamesh but I have to say I'm surprised for an assassin to come in here" just as he say that I turned my head to see a chain with a pointed end through the assassins chest and soon the man dropped dead when Enkidu pulled out the chain

"Huh, how odd even when faced with this gruesome sight and nearly been killed the baby isn't crying" Gilgamesh said as he walked over to my crib 

"I suppose it is rather strange" 

'That because I've seen worse things you bastard!' But even I as yelled at him (in my mind of course) Gilgamesh did the strangest thing he wiped the blood off my cheek from the man and then lifted me up into his arms but gently this time unlike like the last.

"Huh not crying even in the face of death... I guess this really is my kid, right Athanasia?" Gilgamesh had said this in the most gentlest tone I almost mistook him for another man even Enkidu looked shocked at this.

The silence that passed felt like an eternity even though it was only for a few moments and the way Gilgamesh held me in his arms felt comfortable 

'Who knew the man that killed my mother and all his other children was capable of being to hold me so gently'

"Enkidu I have a special task for you..."

"Yes Gilgamesh?"

"Do you think you take care of Athanasia?" The way he said with no problem was shocking even to me it was clear Enkidu was a good friend of him so to just tell him take care of me was...

"Of course I can except Gil why me? You can ask anyone or do it yourself but you would ask me?" Enkidu asked with confusion in his tone

"I'm too busy to take care of her myself and I wouldn't trust anyone but you but more importantly I feel as if there is something I owe this child, I do not know why though" Even though he himself was confused he was trying

'Okay Gilgamesh maybe you aren't so bad after all...' I felt my eyelids feel heavier with each passing second and before I knew it I was asleep.

"Good night little Athanasia..."the voice of Enkidu was the last thing I heard before my mind fell into darkness and into dreamland...
