meanwhile the 2 sister goddesses(Ereshkigal and Ishtar) were arguing, The recent God Marduk, who beat Tiamat and helped win Enuma Elish
Marduk: "What are you two dumbasses arguing about?"
they both looked annoyed at Marduk, seeing him as nothing but a replacement for Zammaruk
Ereshkigal: "Shut up! just leave our room already"
Marduk: "Shut up Ereshkigal, I wasn't talking to you, anyways, Ishtar, what about you come to my room later, so we can hang out"
Ishtar looked disgusted at him
Ishtar: "Never!"
Marduk: "Don't be so hard to get, i saved you guys from Tiamat after all"
Ishtar: "I said no!"
Marduk: "Alright, Alright Relax"
he would walk out the room, but before closing the door he said
Marduk: "Ill be outside if you change your mind
right after he said that, Ishtar walked up to the door, giving Marduk hope, But than she shut it in his face to the disappointment Marduk, Marduk, looking at the ground disappointed, arrived outside, and the Gods outside started cheering for him, seeing the reaction of the Gods cheering for him made him smile
Marduk: "I deserve much better anyway, screw Ishtar and Ereshkigal"
but meanwhile on earth, Shulmanu asked Princess Amira
Shulmanu: "So? why did you join the army?"
Princess Amira paused before saying
Princess Amira: "Well its because.."
she looked at the floor sad, struggling to say the story
Princess Amira: "So this is how it went.."
a flashback scene happened, of the king holding a speech, every soldier there
King Lugal: "My soldiers! the Persians dared to attack us! and invaded the city of Susa from us.. we wont let them get away with this! will we men!?"
he yelled with pride in his tone
All the soldiers: "No we wont your highness!"
they yelled back, also with pride in their tone, after the speech the king met up with his generals at a meeting room
General Naram: "So? what's your plan sire?"
The king paused for a minute, before saying
King Lugal: "I guess we wait and see what they do"
all the Generals looked concerned at King Lugal
General Kuduru: "Sire?! are you sure? you're letting the Persians take land from us with this act you know!"
King Lugal: "I know, but when you see my plan, you will be amazed"
King Lugal said in confidence, the generals nodded but were still scared of what could happen, after the meeting the generals listened to the plan, he headed back to the palace he lived in, he would be a little stressed, but his wife would comfort him
Queen Bela: "Don't worry Lugal, it will be alright, we've beat the Persians before have we not?"
King Lugal: "I know but i have a bad feeling of what's to come, they seem more prepared this time"
while they had their conversation, the 5 year old Princess Amira, wondering what her parents were talking about
Princess Amira: "What's wrong daddy?"
Queen Bela: "Don't worry Amira, your dad is just having some doubts about the war"
Princess Amira: "Don't worry daddy, the strong soldiers will beat them up!"
she said with a excited, confident that the Babylonian army would beat the Persians, Queen Bela laughed and picked her up
Queen Bela: "Alright Amira, its bedtime now"
Princess Amira: "No fair!"
they both left to go to sleep, meanwhile the soldiers of Babylon on their horses marched to defend Babylon from the Persians, 5,000 Babylonian soldiers, under General Nabu, they didnt expect to see 20,000 Persians, under King Hormizd, the Babylonians would lose a devastating defeat, 500 Babylonian soldiers being killed, the Persians successfully took the city of Kish, the Persians marched to the city of Babylon after, planning to take it next and successfully defeat the Babylonian empire, they reached Babylon, which caused panic to the king and his generals
King Lugal: "It wasn't supposed to go like this!"
King Lugal said shocked that the Persians beat them and were close to Babylon, meanwhile at the castle the civilians of Babylon also got worried, most of them staying in their homes out of fear, but some vowing to protect babylon, all they carried were kitchen knives and spade forks, the king would go to his trusted General Naram and ask
King Lugal: "Naram, i want you to defend Babylon from the Persians who are marching towards our city"
General Kuduru: "Sire, are you sure we can win this? we only have 7 thousand other soldiers, how will they defeat 20,000 Persians..."
General Naram: "7 thousand will do, ill protect Babylon, even if i die, but i ask of you this Sire, keep my son Shulmanu protected"
King Lugal nodded, and Naram would leave the room, ready to fight for babylon, before meanwhile they were planning that, the Persians reached the city of Babylon with success, destroying some houses, the queen who was still trying to get her daughter Amira to sleep heard the noise outside, with no survival instinct, she ran outside to see what was happening,
Civilian 1: "your highness! get back inside, the Persians will see you and take you!"
Queen Bela: "Wait what?! the Persians succeeded?!"
before she could do anything else a Persian soldier grabbed onto her arm and tied her up, Amira who was watching inside the castle in her room started crying seeing her mother in danger, the civilians didnt dare to do anything, seeing the amount of Persians, The Persian soldier who had her would cut the Queen's throat using his sword, Amira's eyes widened, seeing her mother who just got killed infront of her eyes by Persians started crying even harder, the civilians of Babylon looked shocked, seeing their queen dead, some of them even charged towards to the soldiers to get revenged, getting about 2 Persian soldiers killed, but the Civilians failed to get revenge, 10 of them dying to the Persians, but than the Persians heard horses coming towards the city, and saw an army of Babylonian soldiers, with their commander Naram in front, the Persians looked confident seeing it was 7 thousand, still less than them who had about 20 thousand, the 7 thousand Babylonian soldiers, seeing their dead queen got enraged And Then...
