Wild Man
At first I did not know what I saw. There was a wild man tearing up the market in my city, and then he came at me. We fought for hours and neither one had the advantage over the other. We set aside our differences and have now become great friends and are going on quests together.
The Great Humbaba
I have heard stories of this beast. Me and Enkidu have gone to the forest to collect cedar logs, but we both know the real reason as to why we are here. We are here to defeat the wild Humbaba and claim his territory in these woods. Enkidu had second thoughts at first but luckily I could talk him into helping me complete this mission. In the end Enkidu was the one that killed Humbaba. Which just lead to tragedy for me.
A Tragic loss
I told him he should not have done, but he went ahead and did it. All I have on my mind is regret for the loss of my one and only true friend. The gods were not pleased with his decision to kill Humbaba. They all got together and decided that the best punishment is to send my friend Enkidu to his death. So now I am here searching for immortality because the thought of not living forever scares me down to my bones.
The Quest
I have been doing all of these crazy tasks people are asking of me so that I can achieve immortality. I almost had it, but that serpent took it from me. It's not fair that I will not be able to live forever. I guess I will go back home and see what I can do with my life.
My People Love Me
Before all of this happened to me I can honestly say that my people did not appreciate anything I was doing. I was not the best leader, I was ignorant and disrespectful. Now that I am back I have matured and my people actually appreciate what I do for them. I care about them now, I do not want to let them down like I have done in the past.
