Chapter 16

Enkidu wondered around for quite a long time until he decided to relax under a tree.

~~~~

Meanwhile with Fujimaru:

"HELP!" "RUN" DRAGONS!"

~~~~

Enkidu sighed as this was relaxing but he was bored. He had put himself to sleep for ages yet he never seems to advance in time. He called in to Da Vinci or Romani depending on which one picked up.

~Hello Da Vinci here. I'm assuming you're here to ask the time you're in? It's currently around 206BC Bye!~

Enkidu sighed as he had just woken up after sleeping for a period of time. He wanted food. Nay his stomach demanded food for his taste buds. Not for survival but for the taste and that's when he remembered Gilgamesh saying something about China and how their food was fast but tasted decent especially the soup buns that he had heard about.

Enkidu set his sights on eating the biggest soup bun he could find. He thought for a bit and shifted his tunic and pants into those Chinese robes he saw Gilgamesh had collected before. "Nice and comfortable."

He didn't want to walk all the way and he definitely didn't want to fly and raise and rumours. "First I'll find a steed!" Enkidu let out a whistle that seemed to attract animals. Soon a whole heard of animals appeared as he was jumped on. They all embraced his presence as Enkidu let himself melt into their fluff.

"Alright I need one of you to take me to China. I need a strong one. A fast one." Many animals tried while Enkidu gazed at each and one of them. Alright I'll take that big Lion, the lion roared in joy as it had been picked by someone who was so close to nature.

Enkidu had picked a lion twice the size of a normal lion. How it got that big? No one will ever know. Enkidu hopped on the lion and waved goodbye to the other animals. The lion roared before setting off in a straight line towards China.

"Onto my soup buns!" The lion roared in agreement "I'll get you anything you want except for humans once we get there." The lion roared once again and went faster.

Yu Mei was incarnated elemental. She was journeying towards China and stopped when she saw a strange sight. A strange person with green hair was sleeping on a lion, yes a lion. The person wore clothes seemingly coming from China her distaste was clearly there..

She approached the person only to have the lion growl at her. She wasn't afraid until the person woke up to reveal a pair of glittering pair of bright green eyes. The eyes shifted to meet hers, bright green eyes met red scarlet eyes. He lifted himself up and asked "May I help you with anything miss?"

Yu Mei was taken aback as she did not expect that to be the first question they asked. She replied "Nothing uuh, what do I call you?" Enkidu smiled patiently "You may call me by my name or you can call me anything you like after all I'm not human either." Yu Mei backed up a bit "Who are you? What do you mean by either?" Enkidu sat back down and kept his serene smile.

"You're an elemental correct?" She nodded "And you are?" Enkidu grinned playfully "Guess."

"Elemental?"

"No"

"Demon?"

"No"

"Fairy?"

"No"

"Just tell me already!" She stomped on her foot while pouting causing Enkidu to reply "Cute." Her face flushed red. Enkidu sighed and gave up on teasing her as it reminded him of when Gil.

"I'm clay!" He spread his arms out as if presenting something amazing. She looked at him "Clay?" He nodded his head "Clay." Hence my gender is "Clay".

She just sighed and gave up before asking "So where are you headed?" Enkidu smiled "China." She blinked and asked "Why?" Enkidu simply replied with a serious face "I heard they serve giant soup buns." She giggled as she had not found someone this funny in ages until something hit her. "Wait you're clay so doesn't that mean you don't need to eat?"

Enkidu sighed "I may be clay but I eat for the taste not for the sustenance!" She glanced down before Enkidu asked as well "So where are you headed and why?" She glanced and stabbed the dirt a few times "China, I want to settle there."

Enkidu nodded until she asked another question "Do you have any friends?" Enkidu flinched at that after remembering his death. Yu Mei seemed to have gotten the signal until Enkidu waved at her "Don't worry just a bad memory but I do have a friend. He's simply just waiting for me back home along with a few other close friends."

Yu Mei nodded as Enkidu returned the question "So do YOU have any friends?" Yu Mei flinched as well until she replied "No, I've been wondering around for quite a bit." Enkidu nodded as he knew what she felt.

"Yeah it's quite hard being alone." She turned to him as he pet his lion. "Well I should get going, you want a ride?" He offered a ride to her as she contemplated before accepting. Riding a lion was certainly a new experience as she watched Enkidu sleeping while the lion ran at full pace.

The lion stopped as he noticed a heard of demon boars. Yu Mei jumped off as she got ready for battle while tapping Enkidu to wake up. He opened one eye and asked "What is it?" Only to get his arm ripped off. Yu Mei watched as he simply regenerated and yawned.

"I see." He stood up as he snapped his fingers as various tiny gold portals appeared and chains appeared from both the ground and gate chasing the demon boars who were quickly chained before having swords launched through their skull. Yu Mei watched as the lightning stopped crackling around him.

He was still half asleep!
