[ After being given a quest, Ereshkigal had decided to go ahead and do it on her own. It was very clear the quest was designed to be dangerous and she'd wanted to ensure none would get caught in her own personal feud with Morganna... Which had been a fatal mistake. ]

Greetings. I am in dire need of assistance and would be very grateful should any of you still listen to me.

[ It is a blessing nobody can hear her whine through text. ]

I am in the Forest of the Felled and I am lost. I came here after Morganna gave me a quest, but I believe my words angered her and she led me into a trap. It appears she placed upon me a curse that makes it impossible for me to find my way. I have been here for over twenty-four now and my strengths are waning as a result of dehydration and hunger.

Should you be afraid of facing Morganna's wrath for assisting me, I understand. I shall face my own death with dignity if so. I only ask someone come after the kettle in my possession to finish this quest and establish a land of the dead after I am gone. I will endeavor to write instructions on how to manage such a place with what time I have left.

[ Not overly dramatic at all, nope. ]

[ in fairness, she gives plenty of other material to work with, as such things go. it is just her unfortunate lot in life.

but Gilgamesh can have a little mercy. maybe. until this episode is concluded, at least. ]

You say you were given a quest? To what end?

[ by now, he has gained some understanding of at least some of the powers that be in this world, but he knows essentially nothing about this Morganna. ]

Very well. Light the beacon, and I shall go forth.

Creating a land of the dead in Avalon. I believe this to be a solution to many of the problems that have plagued us.

[ Her belief that this was a good solution was unwavering.

Unfortunately, she had failed and now because of her, said solution was in jeopardy. ]

It is done.

[ She shot a pillar of light that should be very to see from afar. Perhaps too much so, it's hurting her eyes! But she doesn't want to make his task any harder. ]

[gilgamess]

[ he considers what he has read thus far. ]

And yet she led you into a trap.

[ but he has not met the woman in question, so he could scarcely speculate as the reasons behind such an act. was the quest merely bait -- presented under false pretenses? for what reason? what had the goddess done to provoke such an outcome?

if it has been some days that she has been struggling, then perhaps Gilgamesh can somewhat understand Ereshkigal's behavior... though there is still a tinge of melodrama about it. yet she is quite dutiful, at least. the idea, as Ereshkigal has stated it, does not sound like such a bad one. ]

Wait for my arrival.

[ and ... try not to perish, he supposes. ]
