Long ago, there lived a king. He wept bitterly because he had lost his best friend. But is it possible to lose a friend? After all, a friend is forever. The king—his name was Gilgamesh—sat by his friend's bedside for seven days. And when he realized that he would never wake up, he set off on a journey to the ends of the earth. Gilgamesh was a great hero and believed that he had the power to conquer death. Beyond the edge of the world, where those who have never died live, he hoped to find immortality for himself and for others.
