[Comprehensive] Enkidu

The sun near noon scorched the earth hotly, and there was a burning smell in the air.

Dry, hot.

The unbearable heat has been unbearable for several years, making people wonder whether the sun has descended on the world. Fortunately, the rain is also abundant, and the food that the bottom dwellers rely on for survival has not been affected.

The harsh climate has not affected the Ganges River, which is the main lifeline of the land veins. The flowing river is cool and delicate, and fish schools can be seen playing in the clear river from time to time.

A red fish flicked the clear water waves, shuttled among the luxuriant lotus leaves, looking for food in the water leisurely.

A pair of small hands rushed out suddenly and grabbed it firmly.

The young boy standing by the water has fair skin, and the golden earrings under the fine white hair swayed slightly with the movements. The splash of the red fish's struggle fell on his face, echoing the sparkling river surface. A pair of azure eyes became more indifferent and soft.

"It's too small to be edible."

Said the thoughts of the bottom of my heart so plainly.

The young children re-released the prey they had finally caught up into the rolling water.

The laughter of other children came from afar, and the young boy seemed to have never heard of it. He neither envied being able to blend into the playful group, nor turned a blind eye to their rejection.

"Look, that freak Karna doesn't know what he's doing again."

That's probably the case with his discussion.

I don't know why, even though he traveled to many places, he still couldn't get the friendship of his peers, and there was only rejection and ridicule.

Perhaps it is because there is a huge gap between his appearance and normal people, and people always have an unapproachable dislike towards those who stand out.

Karna didn't feel that this was something to worry about, instead he should accept their hostility as a matter of course, although he didn't intend to try to please them because of their rejection.

The toddler's eyes flicked past the children playing around, and then continued to look at the school of fish at the bottom. For him, these foods that can fill his stomach are obviously more important.

That person went out again the other day.

It is said that it is to challenge the gods in the sky, so every time you come back, you can bring him strange spoils.

There are countless treasures called artifacts piled up in the warehouse at home, and the treasures of the country are randomly placed in unknown corners. Later, because there are too many treasures, they often need to be cleaned up and thrown away. In order to prevent the thrown away artifacts from being malicious People who use them are often returned to their original owners.

I don't remember when it started, it seems that when he has a certain ability to be independent, he will often not be by his side.

Although every time he leaves that person, he will leave enough food for him, Karna still likes to support himself after he has the ability.

Maybe it was because the strong sun breath disturbed the swaying fish school. Karna did not find any suitable prey, and he was not lost. He was holding a half-opened red lotus in his hand while passing through a dense lotus.

The blooming red lotus is like fireworks, burning slowly in the hands of young children. The rich and undisturbed colors show its uniqueness, even if it is a tribute to a god, it will not be rude.

Karna lowered his eyes and sniffed the red lotus in the palm of his hand, as if a god and Buddha accepted his own filial piety, and what was condensed in the immature eyebrows and eyes that had not yet stretched was not humanity but divinity.

The world seemed to stand still.

The noisy screams in the distance stopped at some point, and when Karna turned around, he found a person standing on the shore, holding his breath and waiting for his discovery.

Karna showed a smile, which was different from the contemplation that was often hung on the face, but pure joy.

"......elder brother!"

The green-haired boy on the shore opened his hands, hugged the galloping toddler tightly, greeted him as he did every time he came back, and went home together.

Karna's chubby face was placed on Enkidu's shoulders, and he seemed to be able to feel the smell of gunpowder hidden between the ends of his hair.

"Did brother defeat the god who challenged you again?"

"Well. Don't worry, I'm not hurt."

Enkidu didn't think about the defeated opponent in his hands, he weighed the five-year-old Master in his arms, it seemed to be a little heavier than before leaving, so he showed a satisfied smile.

"The weather is too hot recently. If you want to go out with friends, you should come out after the sun goes down."

"..." Shenzi, who can't tell lies, turned his head awkwardly. He couldn't say anything like playing with the children nearby, but he just replied sullenly, "It's okay, I like it like this." The weather, being in the sun makes me comfortable."

Even though Karna ran out more because he wanted to wait until his elder brother went out earlier, it is undeniable that he has an almost instinctive feeling for the source of life that hangs high in the sky and shines brightly.

Enkidu looked around at the curious but timid children who didn't dare to approach, as if he had understood something, he turned to ask him what he had learned just now.

"Did you catch any fish today?"

"No. However, I found this."

Karna spread out the red lotus in his hand.

The flowers detached from the plant did not wither, but became more colorful, and the burning fireworks danced between the white and transparent fingers of the young child, giving off a coquettish and strange beauty.

Flowers that are so beautiful that they do not seem to bloom in the world, combined with Karna's different and cold appearance from ordinary people, transcend age and gender, just like symbiotic flowers and branches.

"It fits Karna very well, like your avatar."

Speaking of which, when Enkidu found the Master, it was Karna's birthday, and it was also a summer day when the red lotus was in full bloom.

Karna showed a shy smile, and gentle ripples appeared in his azure eyes.

"Then I will give it to my brother, so that I will be with you all the time."

"But it will wither one day, so don't cry."

"There is nothing that will not pass away easily. I only need this moment."

Karna nodded cautiously, inserted the red lotus in his brother's thick long hair, and then skillfully wrapped it around Enkidu's neck, waiting for his brother to take him home.

Enkidu and Karna live in a bamboo house on the mountain, and they don't interact with people's gathering places, so the urchins at the bottom of the mountain always regard Karna as an unknown wild child.

In fact, none of the nearby gods would provoke Karna, who was under the protection of Enkidu, and often satisfied the various requests of the sons of gods who went out. Although he didn't like them approaching, he understood that it was his brother's strength that made them feel afraid.

Karna knew from the time he was sensible that Enkidu was not of the same kind as the so-called gods, but if he carefully explored it, he looked more like a more detached existence.

But no matter what Enkidu's true identity is, it doesn't matter to Karna, even if he is called a noble son of God because of the mistreatment of the gods, these foreign things will not shake his heart at a young age.

The young children who returned home sat obediently on the short bamboo chair made by Enkidu, holding a bowl of fresh milk in their hands. As for the divine cow that produced the milk, it was Enkidu's spoils obtained from defeating a cow-herding god.

Karna was unable to eat the breast milk of ordinary cows and sheep when he was a child. He would often spit out milk uncomfortably. He would rather starve than open his mouth. Cause physical decay, but Enkidu is unwilling to let the Master suffer.

It was also Enkidu's first confrontation with an Indian god. He was a little worried that he would not be able to defeat the opponent, but after contacting him, he discovered that the Indian god system is complex, with many gods and mixed blood. I feel a little dangerous, and the others are not difficult to solve.

Not to mention that after defeating the God of the God of Shepherd, he brought many gods with clothes and water to trouble him, resulting in the current situation where he goes out to fight every few days.

Karna is indeed plump and firmer day by day, and his cute little face is still chubby at the age of five, and it feels good to pinch.

Indian gods like milk products very much. In the eyes of gods, milk is the most delicious tribute. Karna inherits half of the blood of the gods. Naturally, he also likes sweet milk. He quickly drank the last drop of milk at the bottom of the bowl. There is an imperceptible white beard on the face.

Usually Karna would not get close to that irascible divine bull, because it always likes to attack nearby living things, but it will not refuse Enkidu's approach, and it likes to nibble on the things held in Enkidu's hands. grass.If Enkidu left, Karna would at most add grass to keep him from starving, and forget about milk.

"Would you like another drink?"

With the mentality of taking care of the cub, Enkidu wiped the milk stains on his face for him.

Karna rubbed his round belly and shook his head sincerely.

"When I grow up, I can drink more, and then I can help my brother defeat the enemy."

The milk of the divine cow has the function of strengthening the body, and the taste is second. Karna hopes that he can grow taller and stronger, so that he can learn marksmanship and archery, and can fight against those challenging gods with Enkidu.

Enkidu laughed, put his hand on the top of the soft white hair, and stroked his soft hair.

"Then I'll wait for Karna to grow up and become a hero."

Karna's face slowly turned red, he stretched out his arms, and hugged his beloved brother tightly.

"Brother, will you leave these days?"

A very soft voice came from the ear, and the young boy's face was full of anxiety.

He was really afraid that Enkidu would not be seen the next morning.

Besides, it's...his birthday in a few days.

"I won't leave. I think I will stay at home recently. It will be your birthday soon. This time I left for so long because of your gift. I won't delay it for so long again."

"Will those gods still challenge my brother in the future?"

"Maybe, maybe not, but in any case, I will not be timid."

Enkidu paused, and continued firmly.

"Because I need to protect Karna."
