Tablet VII

So the gods have their council and decide that one of the brothers must die. Enlil picks Enkidu, and Gilgamesh feels bad and cries a lot (although I bet he'd cry even more if he was the one chosen).

And so Enkidu becomes really ill, has a raging fever and curses the hunter who first saw him and the whore who brought him to Gilgamesh, then changes his mind and blesses them because they allowed him to meet his bro (isn't that touching?)

Then he falls asleep and has a dream that he meets the Grim Reaper, who has the head and paws of a lion, but the talons of an eagle. The fight, but of course Death wins, and brings him to Hotel Hell, -5 stars, where everyone wears the clothes made of feathers, and for their buffets they have
Clay a la Carte and Vin de Dirt. Yummy. Although I suppose it really must be good, because a bunch of famous dead people are sojourning there.

Then he dies.

I guess that's why they don't call it "Gilgamesh and Endiku."
