[ When Enkidu looks to Asura—really looks, their body purposefully shifted such that their line of sight falls solely upon the King—there is finally pause to Asura's step, the crunch of snowfall underfoot ceasing entirely. And when the King speaks next, he does not break the hold of their gaze, his eyes (the green of sacred sage and its smoke) and Enkidu's own (one in the same with the forest greenery they are so attuned to) perfectly interlocked. ]

You have not broken down. If you have been cracked and chipped— [ Asura sees them, now, the fissures and cracks splitting Enkidu's skin, and knows them to be no true product of the cold. And so intense, so pervasive is the King's stare that it suggests, were Asura's hands free from the spear he now holds in defense, he would have laid his fingertips upon the markings in reverence for what they were: scores left behind from stories; what Enkidu had weathered and endured since their arrival in this world. ] —it means only that it is time for you to be forged anew.

[ As Asura himself had been, when he'd chosen to walk alongside humans decades ago. ] And this, my friend, is something which will be done your own terms, absent of your old gods and their influence.

[ And in this vein, they agree, however... ]

...but that path will be difficult. [ Here, the smile returns to Asura's lips, perhaps rekindled by Enkidu's own, his voice resonant with a certainty that could have been borne only from traveling that very same path: ] But you will find a way, and when you do, it is my hope that you will be able to tell me what it is you've decided to aim toward.

While it is true, that a weapon will always be a weapon, it is not impossible for ones such as you and I to be more. [ No, their existence (and those of Asura's many Summer brothers and sisters) were not so limited. They had been made, shaped by the hands others to fulfill a singular function and purpose, and yet... still, they had grown. ] Do not forget that.

gonna tag anyways :D

[Enkidu gazes back at the other, the look on their face surprisingly soft for someone in the middle of a cold snowstorm. Even though they know Asura for just a short moment in time, he feels familiar. Calming. No, he holds no similarities to Gil but in a way he holds a lot of similarities to themself. A role as a weapon, making choices while not straying from the path you are on.

It is pleasant.]

Forged anew. [They repeat those words softly. It is a good sort of sentiment. But their place in the history of humanity is something that cannot be replaced. Their role will not change and their purpose will not differ.] Hmmm…in a way I see what you mean. Yet I wonder if it is possible. You cannot change a gun into a sword or an arrow into a spear. But you can replace parts…in a way.

[The gods…well…]

To turn from the purpose that is ingrained within you is barely possible. But you can redefine the reason you use it for. I have decided to be wielded by humanity instead of the gods. [And in the end, after all of it, it has been a good decision.]

[Enkidu always wanted to be more. Even though they were bound to their role they had hoped for their soul to grow. Not their knowledge, not their strength but the soul the gods have given them. It never happened and at times it had been difficult to contain their disappointment or frustration.]

Worry not, it is not easy to forget such a thing. Especially when everything reminds you of something you can be.

[They are getting closer to the city and Enkidu gazes at the buildings. No, they don’t like it. In fact, if they had to pick between fighting creatures here and protecting the forest and its nature and living in that city, they would always pick the first option.]
