The Dawn Of The Dragonheart

Ziggurat Castle

Gilgamesh decided to leave tomorrow morning, since today was too late. On the morning of the next day, everyone got ready quite early. The first to walk towards the main door was Gilgamesh, he waited with his arms crossed for Xaiver and his brothers to follow him. Edward and Cid hold Xaiver's hands tightly, then walked towards the entrance.

Once they were outside, Gilgamesh led the way to the portal that connects the human realm and the dragon realm. If he remembered correctly, it wasn't that far, but then again, he passed out and Xaiver probably carried Gilgamesh far enough from the portal.

Gilgamesh looked over his shoulder, checking if Xaiver and his brothers were still following him. Edward and Cid walk hand in hand with Xaiver, while their big brother stare at the scenery around them. Gilgamesh wondered how Xaiver feels, leaving everything behind without knowing what awaited him in the dragon realm. 

Luckily, the portal wasn't that far from Xaiver's place. Normally there shouldn't be a house near the portal, but maybe only dragons have that rule.

Gilgamesh stopped in front of the portal, then wait patiently for Xaiver and his siblings to catch up. Edward and Cid hide behind Xaiver's legs, feeling scared of the strange sight before their eyes.

Xaiver approached Gilgamesh, looking at the portal. "This is the portal that connects both realms?" He questioned staring at Gilgamesh.

"Yes, once we step inside the portal we will reach the dragon realm." He explained  entering the portal.

Edward and Cid hesitate, clinging tighter to Xaiver's legs. He gently pry their hands from his legs, then kneel in front of them.

"Don't be afraid, once we enter the portal we will meet lots of new people." He tried to encourage, stroking both Edward and Cid heads.

Both nodded their head, then take Xaiver's hands again. He stand up, then entered the portal holding his brothers hands tightly.

Gilgamesh waited for them on the other side, watching Edward and Cid reactions once they arrived. Both kids look around curiously, noticing the differences between both realms. The dragon realm was mainly a desert, most of what their eyes could see was sand. They no longer needed their warm clothes, but taking them off now would only be a waste of time.

Since they do not have horses, Gilgamesh needed to transform into a dragon to reach Uruk without wasting time. He usually never uses his dragon powers for trivial things, but Xaiver is the hope for his people, so getting to Uruk faster is for the best.

Gilgamesh transformed into a white and golden majestic dragon. His body, as if covered in light, was composed of innumerable scales. The tips of his four wings were like blades, shining with silver luster. A horn jutted out from his forehead, and a crown of twelve spires circled it. The scales glistened beneath the sun's rays, making Xaiver think of snow falling onto freshly fallen powder. Edward and Cid hide behind Xaiver's legs again, feeling intimidated by Gilgamesh appearance.

Gilgamesh lean down, motioning Xaiver and his brothers to climb on his back. He lifted Edward and Cid, then climb on Gilgamesh's back, sitting between his brothers. Once they were comfortable, he flapped his wings and fly towards Uruk.

Gilgamesh landed outside Uruk walls. Edward and Cid slid down his back, running towards the city gates. Xaiver slide down as well, then follow his brothers.

The two guards guarding the gate saw figures in the distance, immediately recognizing their king Gilgamesh in his dragon form.

Gilgamesh transforms back into his human form and then leads the way to the gate.
